who had used two tattles, has had a “ liver jiffoction
or consumption” 20 years ; and that three of tho fam

advice and medicine, jll,o00. He sayatlio person who

The Wedding.—-Lucy had trlways boon,
on moro than one account, the admiration of
the gay ones of the village. She was of n
light oiry farm, and the fiuo proportion of her
person nnd the attrnctivo beauty of her face,
wero always displayed to tho best possible
odvantago. There was a peculiar neatness
ever romarkod in her dress—every thing a-
bout her wna becoming,(a word which signi
fies much) ■ and it wan ofton said that Lucy
would make a delightful wife—site was so
smart, so genteel, nnd without so economical
—n consideration of vast weight among the
old fashionable pcoplo particularly, though
the young, even in those days, seemed dis
posed to attach rather less consequence to it.
Tho pretty bride and hor chosen consort
wero pronounced inan and wife—their hand?
wero joined and the mutual, promises given
without any unnecessary circumlocution.,
t rodo, a yearaftorwards, by n prettily ’sit
uated form house, half secluded from view
by a cluster of venerable oaks. It was the
residonca of Lucy and her husband—and tbe
strong propensity I felt to seo my old friend
inducen mo to call for a moment. I found
her in tho midst of business, though not busy.
She was n wifo row—nnd she had tallon in
to that most fatal error, carelessness of up-
penTanco. Tho floor wnb strewed with rub
bish—every thing was out of place ; she ap
peared perfectly slovenly in her person, nnd
when I gazed on hor, I could not but reonll
jo mind the protty, neat, sprightly girl tlutP*
won Jao Miller's a flections, and cuoirast bar
*npe*n»nci>- with tlm sarno pretty girl now
Joe Miller's wife. She was but U year older
—yet ten years less attractive. I would have
givon my eyes to have kissed her once, but
the enchantment wusgone, I wondered if
her husband thought an.
I had been silting but a few minutes when
Joe camn in nnd welcomed mo m his trank
and cordial manner—but I saw thorp was a
cloud upon his brow—that he felt hurt. He
looked round ot the wild confusion that reign
etl in tho room, and thon at hor ; “Lucy,”
said, “I wish you would put things in a little
order ; I do dislike abch confusion." Sho co
loured. and leaving her so&t, flirted oil in a
pot; Joe looked after her as sho lammeds
tho door, nnd gavo a sigh that seemed to say,
"alas ! poor Joo Miller." And from my heart
I could have responded it.
A'JFhe young couple had set out* in life with
nue prospects. Joe wob an industrious, sen
sible, good hearted a.follow as one in a hun
dred ; and Lucy was a sweet girl. She is
still prelty, but that very habit of careless
ness cf dross, and mismanagement in her
house has lost hor a world of pleasure and
satisfaction

Watering op Hohszs.—Thisiua part of
their dietotlcs (bat is a not of trifling import.
All horse* prefer soft wSter; and it provee
m*oTu wholesome. It is not a good - custom
to warm water generally for horses ; but it
is a much worse custom to givo thorn water
just drawn from'a pump or well; and par
ticularly in summer, when euch water is
comparatively cooler than in winter, nnd
when tho horso is probably much liotferfroni ■
exorcise, clothing, c. As eome horses
drink quicker than others, it is more proper
to givo them their water in lire stable than ah
a pond, where they often drink immoderate
ly. Tho quantity given should bo regulated
by tho oxercise nnd other circumeton- .
ces. In summer when"*tho oxerciso has
been severo, moro is nccessory. In common
cases a large horso requires rather moro than
the half of a largo stnblo pail, and tliot twice,
in tho day ; nt nigfit n Full pail should bo al
lowed, making in alt three waterings,” It is
erroneous to suppose that abstinence from
water increases tho wind or vigor; on tho
contrary, many diseases aro encouraged,
particujarly ioflamatory ones, 'by this de
privation.
If it were tho custom to place water with
in the reach of the animal ho would bo found
to drink moro frequently, but less freely than
wf#^ watered according to tbe usual meth-
d. Tho restraint in this particular when
journeying is barbarity itself, and is fatal to
the appetite to the spirit and to tbo temper
of the animal. Horses should never bo
galloped after drinking; it is the frequent
cause of broken wind ; nor aboold horse*
have much water given befuzo eating; but;
on a journey, when tbe'animnl ia vory dry,
give throe or four quarts—then feoa—and
when that is partly eaten, somo more; add
afterwards the remr.indcrof (btf quantity
intended, whioh in hot woathcr should b«
liberal.

Assurances aoainst Hailstorms.—The
injury sustained from violont hailstorms by
the agriculturists of Franco, nnd moro par
ticularly by tire cultivators of tho vine, ora
so frequent and so serious, os to induce them
to havo recourse to societies of assurbuce;
similar to tho original institutions for assur
ance against loss by fire in England. An ns-
sociationof this kiud has been formed m
Paris for mutual protection against damage
done by hailstorms in tho fourteen deptfrt-
incnta around lire capital.

MARntAOB.—There is one circumstance,
bne event of human life, J and that by no
moans of a trivial nniure ovor which the in
fluence of Fortune's pipe is considered su
preme. It is agreed that “ marriagn goes by
destiny." Hero “luck" reigns parntnonnt,
aud “good guidonco" is useless. No pre
cautions can assure a man against n terma
gant wife, or p woman against b faithless
husband; while anions contracted under the
most apparently unfavorable auspices, some
times afford very edifying oxamplea of conju
gal felicj^. A ton years’ courtship will not
prsveut quarrels in the honey moon, while an
affection Bown suddenly at a bull, aud of
which the harvest follows in six weeks, shall
endure unchangeable all tho buffets of life.
Couples arrive at ycaro of discretion, have
proceeded gradually and steadily through the
grammar or Love, and when duly qualified
for a matrimonial degree, have advanced in
tho most decorous manner, nnd after the
most approved method, to the altar of Hy
men, Cupid and Mioerva preceding them
hand-itf-hand, and plenty of congratulating
relations following in bridal attire, and a life
a la cat atyl dog ires boon tho reBulF; while
boya and girls, scarcely* half way iu their
teens, have fallen,in love at battledore and
shuttlecock, galloped off the next morning to
Gretna-Green, been married by a blacksmith,
and thrown two wholo families into hysterics,
who bavo afterwards passed their youth like
(urtle dovds, their maturer years like the teo-
derest of friends, and their age like Darby
and Joan. * ‘j
These etraogo anomalies ore not to bo de
nied , but they Afford little encouragement to
imprudonco since misery mwy and often does
follow it, and tbero is, undoubtedly, no misery
equal to self reproach. If we-ooonot enauW

Ecslacy and Animal Magnetism. —Wo
sometime since stated that the old, sod we
thought explodod, humbug of animal mngne#
tlsm was reviving in Franco. Tho modern
tnngnctisors havo, it soems, brought the mys
tery to such perfectioo that they can throw

A church warden seeing a baker sitting*

and violent proceedings ensued. Tho baker,
who wus also a special constable, was dragged
to a^placo of confinement, and produced next
day in court, when he was dismissed, then*
bumg no ground for detaining him. But
what nstoniahosus is, that any ono shofil^
