Tle I*9l ni 9f it Home, It is not easy to describe the (icrfecl high bred saddle-horse so that he will W recognized at sight by the uninitiated, and the initiated need no such descrip tion. Hi* characteristics may be thus sketched : *ln uld have, first of all, large, sound, ojien-heelesi feet, with the trog well-detiued, the f'asterns neither so long as to W weak nor w steep a* to give an unyielding action —rather ot medium length and sloping back wart! a litlie more than the frog tine of the the leg* Wlwceu the pastern joint* and the knee* and back*. cannot be too short, and the hack tendon* should W so large and full a* to give them the appearance of width and flatne-s. The knee; cannot be too Uige and lull, nor can the hocks W t hi large and bony. The forearm, from ifc • knee to the point of the shoulder and the hind leg from the bock to the stifle joint, should be very long and muscular, and quite free from fat or flabbiness. The shoulder must be very sloping—the more so the totter—and overlaid with tense and prominent muscles. The hips and thigh# should to well-loaded with muscle, and if there i# to be a fleshy con dition at any point let it to here. Owing to the slope of the shoulder# and the heightof the withers,and to the promi nence of the muscle* over the hips, the back should have the appearance of ex treme shortness, witli a Blight, but only slight downward curve; “hardly room to carry a saddle ” if the form in which the horseman expresses bis highest praise. This is the preferable form of hack, but very many thoroughbred# are deficient in this respect. Largely, as a matter of beauty, the spine should run hack nearly level from the hips, and the tail should to carried high—the Ken tucky bloedboree is often very defective here—the neck should to long and lean, well-arched, but not toefy at the crest, and furnished with a large loose hanging windpipe below, well-defined even when the horse is at rest. The ear# must be quick, small at their netting on, and thin ; there i# no objec tion to their having a good length ; the head may to, but i not necessarily, Htnall, hut it should ha well-shaped, atid it must to as tony and a# free as possible from flesh ; it should to so wide and clean between the jaws as to give ample space for the windpipe ; the nostrils must be capable of great distension to allow free breathing during exertion; the skin should be soft, the coat fine and silky, and the hair of the mane and tail, al though it may be somewhat wavy, should to free from anything like curli ness and rather scanty tiian su|)er abundant. After severe exertion, full veins should show all over the whole tody. Hie dis tension of these veins, which are generally invisible in the cold-blooded horse, gives the thoroughbred one of his greatest ad vantages by affording relief to the pulsa tion during the strong action of the hea't. The horse above described is quite sure to have the deep chest and heart-place which are s> important to strenuous exertion, hut many o. the best thoroughbreds are deficient in that round barrel-hooped form of the ribs which is necessary to the roomiest ac comodation of the lungs and abdominal viscera.

This decadence has not been anticipated by many who understand and appreciate the common course of nature and the law* cf procreation. Any species or strains ol live stock will, in time, degenerate perceptibly, or run out al together, by constant breeding inter nr. The result i# as certain a# is any event in life. No breed of stock will hold its own universally, however good it may he, however choicely bred, or however skill fully manipulated, if it to bred in and in from a single family or importation too long. The very act of so breeding blood re lations exhaust* it in vitality, and wears it out in a few venr# ; to it never so good or so strong at theoutset. The introduce tion of fresh bio >d of the same species, not akin to the other, hut possessing all (hedeairable stamina, vigor, beauty and I stroug characteristics of the first, is a fine qiki nun to success in continual breed ing. In no other way can this decadence to prevented. We point to the Asiatic rsc.*, especially, iu these remarks, for the reason that in this country our people favor this classof fowls more particu'atly, and because it may safely to assumed also that a very largo majority of all the domestic poultry stock kept and bred in the United State* : at the present day, belongs to the Chinese varieties—the Cochins, the Brahamas, etc. And where has thi* blooded stock came from, mostly, into our breeder’s hand ? None will deny or question the tact that the thousands of what are esteemed i goto “ strain* ” or families of the bluff, | |>artridge, white or black Cochins at pre | sent being bred in America, came down j to u# in 1876 and 1577 from very limited ; number of original breeding birds. And l it may here to affirmed that of that nnni j tor veiy few of tne original stock hns reached us on thi# side of the Atlantic from foreign sources beyond ihc limit# of Great Britain. These stock fowls, stout which we have plumed ourselves so earnestly, often time#, are not native Chinese or Asiatic bird* at all. They are href Iron) such fowls, imported into England from time to time and even there the numtorof birds which are received annually from China direct is very small. Iu this country we hear of no arrival* from Chinese territory, lately. Tnu* it will to scon that we hate torn breeding the Cochi us, and are now breed ing them—of ali colors aud descriptions —lrom the Kng!i#h descendants of the originally imported Asiatic fowls for the must part. The old Cochin (or Xi.uigha') stock brought into this country twenty five or thirty years ago direct by Messrs. Marsh, Forbes, Cope, Paimer, Cushing and others, of course was long since exhausted. The early .Sturgeon and Powell stock, imported into England 1 from 1845 to '4B, has long since become extinct. And so we. of course, are breeding from whatever our English c mains may have sent us—this kind of stock got out Irom Great Britain in the last ten or twelve years, for example, toing all British bred, and not turn the native originals. How long these several strains may have been bred in and-in by such fancier# as Baily, Teebay, Cooper, Boyle, Nolan, Baker, Throgmore, Pent#, Crier and others from whom we have “ imported ” our Cochin stock in recent year#, no one know#. It may to that these different strains have been amalgamated, to a greater or less extent—in England—since the poulterer and Htock-raiser of that country understand# this business, and manipulates it, much better than we do, down to the present time. And though thus mixing and intermingling the dif ferent original Chinese importations they have received there, they may have contrived to keep the blood and original stamina of the China fowls preserved, to a degree, among them. But we have have not done this to any extent in this country. And the consequence of our mode of management of the Anglo- Chinese stock is what we have already explained—its marked decadence, of late, as far as prolificneas isconcerned. Not to extend our remarks on this subject to too great a length, wc conclude by observing that the consequence, or results, of this interbreeding in America has been realized very seriously among us in the past year or two, and more es pecially have we. experienced its ill ef fects in 1877. TLi# decadence is exhi bited very sensibly in one phase which breeders will quickly recognize, we take it, upon the fact being pointed out, and that is in the non-fertile character of eggs laid by these fowls oflate. Perhaps this peculiar demonstration is among the first serious symptoms, or indications, we shall have, thatjho stock we iiave bred from so long without introducing genu ine fresh original blood among it, is being run out, —Poultry World. After Seven Years. It was at this season of the year, just seven years ago, that an extraordinary scene occurred in Danbury. It was in the evening, and a eouple were bringing in several pots of plants from the yard to save them from the frost, which the temperature of out-doors threatened. While thus engaged she spoke, referring to a geranium she had in her hand : “I wouldn’t lose this one fora great deal, as mother gave it to me.” lie looked at it. “ Your mother gave to you? Guess not. 1 bought that plant myself.” “ Why, it’s no such thing.” “ 1 tell you I did,” he added, speaking with warmth. “And 1 tell you you didn’t,” she firmly asseverated. “ IX) you suppose I don’t know what was given to me?” “ Do you suppose I don’t know what 1 bought with nty own money?” “ If you say you bought that geran ium,” she said, speaking very slowly, and with white lip*, “you say what you know to he false.” Do you mean to #ay 1 lie?” he hitsed. “ It you say that, I do.” “ You shall he sorry for this,” he threatened. “ Never,’’she retorted. lie put on hi* hat and coat and left the house. That was seven years ago this fall. She never saw him again, nor heard from him in all that seven years. What must have been the thoughts, the agony of mind, endured by that wretched wife in that time no one on earth knows. She kept her thoughts to herself, and pa tiently, as far as outward ap|>earaiice went, bore the burden put upon her. On Friday evening of last week her and x*r opened, and a man walked into her presence. There was a look, a rry, and she was in the arms of her husband. What a happy home was that. All the agony ol the seven long year# was for gotten tn that hour ot reconciliation and reunion. A hearty supper was spread and with tears ami smiles she hovered about him, ministering to every want. After supper there was a long talk ot the pat. “It i* so singular,” she said, speaking in oneoi the pauses," that it should have happened as it did. 1 can scarcely com prehend it at all. It seem* like an awful dream. We both lost our tempers, and we have both suffered lor it. The miser able geranium! Do you know 1 cannot bear to s e one of those plants? 1 told mother to come and take it hack, for 1 wouldn’t have it in sight.” "What!” he ejaculated, “do you still persist in saying that she gave it to you? ’ “ Why, John, of course she did. Haven’t you got over that idea vet ?” ■ “ No. 1 haven't,” he persisted, his face darkening. “ I bought that geranium just a* sure as I’m a living man.” >he thought of his years of cruel de sertion, ot all he had cau.-ed her to suffer because of his obstinacy and her heart hardened and her face flushed. “You are m an to say that when you know it is false ” "It isn’t false. It's Heaven’s truth.” “ It’s no such thing. It’s a mean con temptible lie.” He jumped up from the chair, seized lus hat and coat and shot out of the house in a tlash, and she never uttered a word in protest. sat there with clenched hand- and a white face, and let him go. And so he is gone. And to-day she is afiuie again with the old burden and the old pain. —Danbury Sen*, Theology and Science. If intolerant skeptics and superstitious theologians could catch the spirit of the following extract from an article in the New York World, of Wednesday last, the society would be spared a good deal of nonsense and religion make a gain of its great boast and its great lack—charity: “ If the reasonings of the various sciences were applied to one another as indis criminately as those of theology to science and those of science to theology, we should have a conflict of the sciences, a g well as a conflict between religion and science. If the geologist should insist on the consideration of the heavenly bodies in strata, our observatories would be come a chaos. We are not entitled for this reason to consider geology unfounded. If the crystallographer should insist on the classification of animals according to angels, faces and specific gravity, a wail of anguish would arise from the zoological collections of the world. On this account is crystallography absurd ? When a narrow theology would make tho decree of some church council or ’the fallible interpretation of some portions of scrip ture a criterion for scientific verity, are wo to reject religion, the chief center of all that wc call pure and good? And if science advances some doctrine that throws a radiant light across the realm of nature, hut stands in conflict with our present views of the bible, are we justified in proclaiming an antagonism between religion and science? A deeper view of both religion ana science, a broader view of their history, a faint glimpse of the one cause knowable or unknowable of both nature and spirit, would make both sides more prudent ami more tolerant. The words of Bacon come back to us after three centuries with renewed emphasis, to encourage us in our doubts, to raise our loftier hopes : ‘ Truth is the daughter of lime. ’ ” It rather sends a chill through you to meet the doctor on your return from the country, and have him say, “gladto see you ; business has been awful dull.” Tli W** I fit r of lli lliimnn N.val^ni Is in a great measure dependent upon the way in which the bowels perforin their evac iwtive function.
