Babies, nothing but babies! Even the magazines (like that fool- Hermann Knickerbocker) have their corners for baby love, and fairs are actually got up to show off their pretty propensities. Isn’t it too much ? wonder what Messrs. Ho Tong and Chi Fung would say to all this? Wouldn't they laugh and call us fools, baby-fools, eh? Thus we imagine you are soliloquizing, dear reader, as you glance at our heading But we will not deceive you; for we are going to talk fondly and plainly of our baby-boy, as Qualities like his are tare, and they form an exception to the rules which define the characteristics of babydom.

Pleasant Will Shakspeare describes the lit- te royalists of his day as ‘‘ Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms,” a description which we think will well fit many of the embryo republicans on this side of the ocean, but not our baby. The great bard was no ardent admirer of the period of babyhood, if we may judge from this and one or two other naughty slurs he has written of it. Though he is a reliable authority, and though the verse we quote is generally re- ceived asa standard account of early baby life, yet we enter a caveat against its appli- cation in the case of “‘ our baby-boy.” But here is another peculiarity of our boy is Morpheus-like dis- i He is a fair specimen of that class of inactives of whom Solomon gives such a wakes up, folds his im!) sleeps again Indeed, we think Anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans.

A plea for the Horse—Cruelty of the Check- It would be quite as sensible to bit and curb ® bod-carrier's head backwards, by a strap buckling to the seat of his pantaloons, and to set him to carrying brick up « ladder in that hampered condition, as to brace a horse's neck towards his tail, as an aid in drawing a wagon, or getting fast over the ground Three things occurred to establish this stupid tyranny upon the horse, in England we speak of. But one thing was necessary to establish the custom in the United States—that it was practiced by the English. Notwithstanding our Fourth of July, we are yet, in tate of Provincial servility to the fashions and the opinions of Britain, and we inevitably take the check-rein from them, as the sham Democracy takes free trade from their transatlantic masters To hold up the horse’s head, and make him look grand, among the od institutions of Englend, was undoubtedly the pulse to the use of the check-rein. It was also found that it was useful, in evenly matching the gait and carriage of the nobleman’s pair. Same timid fellow bethought him, on an ancient occasion, of using it as a sort of tie to a post—holding thus a spirited or dangerous horse, and quite — too, for he made him hold Lim- self. Tn time, too, — up in stables and halls, « venerable and obstinate belief, that the check rein prevented the horse from falling. No- body with the fox hounds at the seme time pro- =a to take off the Squire's suspenders to race his jaws back with them, by atiaching them to his crupper He was wisely left to nature, in bis pursuit of the fox. Why was not the noble animal he bestrode left to its in- stinct and the laws of its mechanica! action ? We have frequently thought that the field of polities had displayed more of human stu- pidity than any other department of man’s ac- tion. But we guess that a greater and a more consistent display of that attribute has been made in the mgnagement of the horse than in any other business man has undertaken inthis world. How few gentlemen—how few sur geons even—know that a horse should be treated precisely as we treat man. His muscles are like ours, and thelaws that govern muscu- lar and nervous action in his system, are the same that we are subject to. The laws of health are the same in horse and in man—and the most intolligent veterinary surgeons in France, Germany, and England, treat the in- terruptions of normal action in the two animal economics in precisely the same way, and with precisely the same remedies Now, regard a German carrying bagsof oats upon the back, from a vessel to a warehouse See nature's provisions for easily getting along with that job. The man stoops forward He stretches out his neck. The weight of his body is thrown in advance of his centre, so as to give him a falling tendency, and in that way aid his motion. How Stewpyd docs over look this teaching, when he harnesses Godo! - phin for dragging brick up a grade. Tho orse’s head is pulled back towards his tail, and anchored there, by the senseless and mer ciless check-rein. The ar: ment is unpat- ural—the animal is constrained by it. Ho must inevitably lose strength by it—for it dis- turbs the vital force, and induces an unnatu- ral action in the muscles of the neck, head, shoulders and mouth. There is actually less energy and vigor left for the limbs and chest, than there would be if the stupid contrivance were jerked off, and thrown over the nearest fence. If reason cannot teach this promptiy to any man, just let him try the experiment by putting a martingale upon himself, and go to wrestling, or putting a check in the jaws of a — that shall extend down his back to his It. Who beside the British use the check-rein— saving their Free Trade slaves and general imitators, the Americans’ The French do not use it—the Germans do not—the Indians and Spaniards of South America, who liter- ally live on horseback, and are perfect horse- men, do not—the Spaniards of Europe do not— nor do the Turks. The most observant, and most natural ple in the world, are free from this mischievous error. It is str to us that the English and ourselves, did years and yeurs ago, reasun upon the stantly witnessed fact, that when a check-rein was loosed at a tavern stoop. on in a stable, the poor horse always stretched out his neck and hung down his head. That was his lan- guage for saying that the strap hurt him and wearied him, and that he was heartily glad to be relieved from it. The genius that first proposed the mecban- ical feat, of lifting himself up by seat of bis breeches, must have beer the author of the carb that the check-rein held the horse up, and kept him from falling. Tbe mechanical action in the two cases must be precisely the same. If the reader will reflect for a moment, he will see that po suspending power can be derived, except from without the animal. A peat, tree, or beam, isjust as indispensalle to the support of a horse, as to the support of a man intent on suicide. A horse can't hang himself up in the air by the terrete on his back, any more than a man can by puiling upwards at his neck handkerchief. The check-rein should be abolished. It wastes motive power. Its use is unhealthy— for it disturbs the otherwise naturally and equally distributed vital forces It shortens the life of the horse. 1t diminishes his specd, and lessens the free and quick action, 80 es- sential to the animal's safety and that of his driver. It is of no use, and cannot confer dignity or grace to an animal that was made by the Lord. Had man got up the horse, i have been allowable not only, but perhaps necessary. But the work of the Great Artist cannot be pee upon. Brethren of the press, let us emancipate the horse from the British check-rein.—Buffalo Democrat.
