While Mr. Rarey is charging his pupils ten gnineas for instructing them in the art of horse-breakings a London publisher has issued a pamphlet written by Rarey, before te dreamed of becoming a hero, giving the whole information for : 12 cents. The following is the theory of Mr. Rarey; " ' ; ' ,, ; ': iFirst That he (the horse) Ss so constituted by " nature that he. will not offer , resistance to any demand made of him which he fully com pre- hends, if made ia a way consistent with the laws of bis nature " v Second That he has no consciousness of his Strength, beyond his experience, and can bs handled according to our will without force. '-. .Third That we can, in compliance with the Maws of his nature by which be examines all - things new to him, take any object, however ..frightful, around, over or on him, that does not inflict pain without causing him to fear. -. The horse, though possessed of some faculties uperior to man's, basing deficient 'in reasoning Towers, has no kuowledge cf right or wrong, of t free will.and independent government, and knows not pf any imposition practiced upon him, bow-ever onreasonable these impositions may be.. Cbnseqaently, hei cannot come to any decision as to what he should or should not do, because he has not the reasoning faculties of fnan to arj gne the justice of the thing -demanded of htm. If he had, taking into consideration his superior .tirehgtht he would be'aseless to tnio as cr; THfc ono tbat has trer paid aoj aitentioa to lLe lorse haji noticed hU natural inclination to CTcrjthtnj which to him: lodrsYew and fci-VJ. This U his strange mode of examin- ing everything. And, when he 13 frightened at anything, though be looks at it sharply, he seems to have no confidence in this optical examination alone, but most touch it vith the nose before he is entirely satisfied; and as soon as this is done, all is right. We might very naturally suppose, from the fact of the horse's applying his nose to everything new to him, that be always does so for the purpose of smelling these objects. But I believe that it is as much and more for the purpose of feeling, and that he makes use of his nose, or muzzle (as it is sometimes called), as we would of our hands, because it is the only organ by which he can touch or feel anything with such susceptibility. We know from experience, that if a horse sees and smells a robe a short distance from him, he is very much frightened (unless he is used to it) until he touches or feels it with his nose; which is a positive proof that feeling is the controlling sense in this case. It is a prevailing opinion among horsemen generally that the sense of smell is the governing sense of the horse. And Faucher, as well as others, has. with that view, got op receipts of 6trong smelling oils, &.., to tame the horse, some times using the chestnut of his legs, which they dry, grind into powder, and blow into his nostrils, sometimes using the oils of rhodium, origanum, A'C, that are. noted for their strong smell; and sometimes they scent the band with the sweat from under the arm, or blow their breath into his nostrils, &c,:&c. All of which, as far as the scent goes, have no effect whatever in gentling the horse, or conveying any idea" to his mind; though. the acts that accompany these efforts-handling him, touching him about the hose and head, and patting him, as they direct you should, Hlter-adrTunistering the articles, may have a very great effect of the ingredients used. Now, reader, can you, or any one el3e, give one single retn how scent can convey any idea to the horse's mind of what you want him to do? If not, then of course strong scents of any kind are of no avail in taming the unbroken horse. : In order to obtain perfect obedience from any horse, we must first have him fear us, for our motto s, Jtar, love and obey; and we must have the fulfilment of the two. first before we can expect the latter; for it is by our philosophy of creating fear, love and confidence that We govern to our will every kind of horse whatever. I should not want, for myself," more than half or three quarters of an hour to handle any colt and have him running about in the stable after me; though I would advise a new beginner to take more time, and not be m too mu:h of a hurry. When you have entered the stable stand still, and let your borse look at you for a minute or two, and as soon as he is settled in ono place, approach him slowly, with your arms stationary, your right I. and hanging by your side, holding the whip as 'directed, and the left bent at the elbow, with the hand projecting." As you approach him, go not too near his head .or. croup, so" aa not to makt him-move backward or forward, thus keeping the horse stationary; if he does not move either for ward or backward, step a little to the right or left, very cautiously; this will keep him in one place. As yon get very near to bim, draw a little to his shoulder and stop a few seconds. If you j are very near him, he will turn, his head acd j smell your hand, do that he has any preference for your hand, but because that is proj'ecting, and is the nearest portion of your body to the horse. -This all colts will do, and they will amt-11 your naked hand just as quickly as they will of anything that joa can put in it, and with just as good an effect, however much some men may have preached the doctrine of taming horses by giving the animals the scent of articles from the hand. I have already made it appear that that notion is a mistake. ' As soon as he touches his nose to your hand, cares hi ni as before directed, always using a very soft light hand, merely touching the horse, always rubbing the way the hair lies, so that your hand will pass along as smootly as possible. As you stand by his side, you may find it more convenient to rub his neck or the side of his head, which, will answer the same purpose as rubbing his forehead. Favor every inclination of the horse to touch or smell you with his nose. AU ways foHow each touch or communication of this kind with the most tender and affectionate ca resses, accompanied with a kind look and pleas ant word of some sort, such as "Ho! my little boy, hoi my Kttle bovr "Pretty boy!" "Nice ladyH. or something of the kind, constantly te peating the same words, with the same kind, steady tone of voice; for the horse ,sooa learns to read the expression of the face and voice, and will know as well when fear, love, or anger pre vaiLi, as you know your own feelings; two of which, fear and anger, a good horseman ehoald never feel. ' ... ' '- - -.- If your horse, instead of being wild, seems td be of a stubborn or mulish disposition; if belays back his ears as yon approach him, or turns his heels to kick yon, he has not that regard or tear of man that, he should" have, to enable you to handle him quickly and easily; and it (night be well Jrt give hini a few hrp cts with the whip, about the leys, pretty close to the body. It will crack keenly as it plies around his legs, and the crack of the whip will affect him as much as the stroke besides, one sharp cut about his legs will affect him more than two or three over his back, the skin on the inner part of the legs or about the dank being thinner and more tender than on his. back. But do not whip him mnch. SOW TO SADDLS A COLT. Any one man who understands this theory caa put a saddle on the wildest colt that etet .grow, without any help and without scaring him. The first thing will be to tie each stirrip-strap into a loose knot to make them abort and prevent the stirrtps from flying about and hitting him. Then double up the skirts and take the saddle under your right arm so as not to frighten him with it when joa approach. When yoa get to Mm rub him gently few times with your hand, and then raise the saddle very slowly rnntil he can see it and BrrseU and del it with his'iose. . Then let he akrt loort and ynb ft very gently against h;s neck, the way the hair lies, letting himT feel the rattle of toe skirts as he feels them against him, each time getting a little farther back. Shake it a little with your hand, and in leas than five minutes you can rattle it about over bis back as much as yon pleas?, and pull it off aad throw it on again,. without his paying much attention to it. - ' ' HOW TO MOUNT THE COLT. First gentle him well on both sides, about the 8addle, and all over, until he will stand still without holding, and is not afraid to see you anywhere about hint. " As soon as he will bear this without alarm, an' tie the stirrip.strap,.and stand square over it, holding your knee against the horse, and; your toe out, so as to touch him under the shoulder with the toe of your boot Place your right hand on the front of the saddle, and on the opposite side of you, taking hold-of a portion of the mane and the reins, as they hang loosely over his neck, with your left hand; then gradually bear your weight on the atirrip, and on your right hand, the horse feels your whole weight on the saddle; repeat this several times, each time raising yourself a little higher from the block, until be will allow you to raise your leg over his croup: and place yourself in the saddle. By the process of laying your weight in the stirrips, and on your hand, you can gradualy accustom him to your weight, so as not to frighten him by having him feel it all at once. And, in the third place, the block elevates you, so that you will not have to make a spriug. in order to get on the horse's back, but from it you can gradually raise yourself in the saddle. When you take these precautions, there is no horse so wild but that you can mount him without making the jump. I have tried it on the worst horses that could be found, and have never failed in any casei r- -V : .'.' .," ,' HOW TO MAKE A HORSE LIE DOWJf. . Everything we want to teach the horse must be commenced in some way to give bim an idea of what you want him to do, and then be repeated till he learns it perfectly. To make a horse lie down, bend his left foreleg, and slip a loop Over it, so that he cannot get it down. Then put a surcingle around his body, and fasten one end of . a long strap around the other fore leg, just above the hoot. Place the other end under the surcingle, so as to keep the strap in the right di. rection, take a short hold of it with your right hand; stand on the left side of the horse, grasp the bit In the left hand, pull steadily on the strap with your right; bear against his shoulder till you cause him to move. As soon as he lifts his weight, jour pulling will raise the other foot, and he will have to come on his knees. Keep the strap tight in . your hand, so that he cannot straighten his leg if he rises np. Hold him in this position, and turn : his head towards you; bear against his side with yoUr . shoulder, not hard, but With a steady, equar pressnw and 1n about ten minutes be will lie down. As soon as be lies down he will be completely conquered, and you can handle him as you please. ' J)uinoTflus 5 Effects of a Change of Heart. In the "Editor's Table" of the Knickerbocker for June, we find the following: - The incident mentioned "below actually occur red in a little western town not Iong'since: "We had, some time ago, a protracted meeting here, and among the converted was a certain Mr. C , who had always been considered a 'first-rate' horse jockey in fact, on that subject he was always 'well posted.' At the time of his conversion he was proprietor of a very fast trotter, and what to do with his '2:40 nag' he was at, a loss to know; but one day, shortly after he had become a pillar of the church, be- met his old. friend L , a dealer in.-fancy horses. 'Friend L said he, 'I have awakened to a sense of the evil course I have formerly pursued; I have realized a change, and joined the church; and I intend to lead a different .life in future.' L- replied that he was glad to hear it, 'for you know, C , that you have lifted me in trades many a time; and now I hope you will be a little easier with a poor fellow.' .'Well,' says C , 'you tnow I am the. owoer of the fastest trotting horse in this country, and the change that I have experienced wil) not admit of my keeping such an animal. To make a long story short, I will sell bun to you toe have always been good friends) for seven hundred dollars! L r-objected, and gave as a reason that he had not that amount of money just then to invest in horse ftesh. 'Never mind that,' sajs C 'I will sell you the horse on time, and you can torn that much with him before next fall!" . .

A Batch Story. The following is old, bat very good. It has gone the rounds semioccasionally for the last twenty years, and as it is some time since we have seen it in print, we give it a fresh start: A Dutchman sitting at the door of his tavern in the Far West, is approached by a tall, thin Yankee, who is emigrating .Westward, on foot, with a bundle on a cane over his shoulders : "Veil, Misther Valkiog Sthick, vat yoo vant?"

Davidson College, North Carolina, contfihnVSB a good etory of a man with a very bad habit. As U is all about lying, the reader may believe ft ot not as he likes: . In the old North State lives a certain John Long; who. draws a long bow whenever he has any thing to tell, and his character for truth And veracity has been below erofor many years. Captain Johnson had been so taken in by one of John's outrageous stories, that he had said to him iu a pet': : '. ' '' "If yon make .me helieve One of yonr lies again for a month, I'll give you fifty dollars." John pretended to be quite hart by the offer, and went off. A lew'days afterward he was riding by the captain's post haste on horseback, when the captain called to him " r ,- " "Iaayf hello! Long! stop and tell os a lie or two this morning" John rode on, but cr?e.d out most dolefully. "No time for lying now; brolher Vimmy: bat just Been killed in the machine,' and I'm going for the old folks." ' .- ' '" -""- -' " On he went. , ' '' '. ' Captain Johnson ordered his horse, and" rode over to see the dead man and offer his services, but found bim alive and well;; ginning: cotton, and in no dartgef Of the machine.. . Just then John rode up and demanded the fifty dollars. The captain declared it was a rascally trick hat he would have bad to pay the money if John had not let him "off.

Moore, a Veterari politician of the Old Dominion, enjoyed great personal popularity on account of his affability of manner, ; and "of course could always' carry a big vote whenever he was up fo- anoffice.

Our Ohio School Commissioner-Rev. Mr. Smyth recently made an address before a Yonng Ladies' Seminary, at Cleveland, which has been quite generally noticed in oar State journals. He condetrin3, in the severest terms, the present extravagance in dress among the young ladies of the land. Mark his words: ; The costly and gorgeous plumage which oar modern birds of paradise have assumed for the very purpose of attracting admiration, frighten all Vise and prudent men from . the idea of attempting to cage them. They justly judge that the almost daily molting of birds of this feather, and the as frequent repluming, together with the suspicion that for all good purposes, they would prove of less value than either of the "two sparrows which are sold for a farthing," are facts which do not harmonize with the weight of their parses. Howmany of the failures of young business men, and the frauds and forgeries of clerks tel lers and cashiers, within the last ten years, have had their origin in the 'spirit of fashionable extravagance in the family. How many of the legions of divorces, whjch are becoming - the shame of our land, come up from the same pestilential pool fashion. The gay and dashing young wife, while her husband is toiling at his business, finds home too quiet for one who discards home duties; and who has not mind and culture sufficient to appreciate books, paintings and music. She must array herself in"dazzling attire, and ride and romp, visiting the opera with the first dandy or rogue who may kindly offer his attendance. And how. soon is all do mestie happiness driven from the home, and a wretched husband sues for divorce; Woman Rights.. 4 When the "Waman's Rights" meeting was held in New York, two months ago, there was ajJerisive outcry raised at the magnanimity of the law, in allowing a widow "one tea pot;". but the petticoated s pouters who turned up their noses at ''widow's tea pois," knew flot what they were talking about. Albany Alias and Argusi That is ao. The women of this country possess more rights than any other people la the Republic. They escapejury duty, general train, ing and "shovelling snow in the winter." They neither saw wood, chop wood, or carry in the coal. They can join a canal boat and pole through the canal, but they never do it. They can raft lumber and carry hods, but they won't do it. They can lay brick, catch shad and dive for oysters, but they won't do it. All this hard and dirty work they leave to be performed by "those brutes, the men." The women have the inside track. They live in clover and work lemon colored tioftS, with exasperated tails, in Berlin wool. They partake of ice creams and cotillions,; but always leave "those brutes tho men" to foot the bill. When the thermometer is ninety-five in the shade, they take a seat in the parlor and read Kane's Arctic Voyages, while "those brutes of men" are weeding onions or getting in the hay crop, with the sun hot enough to draw blisters on a brick-bat. The women have a gold edged time generally. They feed on strawberries and kisses, and when they fall in love with a music teacher and kttl their husbands, "those brutes of men." always Wing in a verdicV of justiflcaole homicide, or man slaughter in the second degree. Albany Knickerbocker Uii, ;," Women Fined for Wearing Sili. In what we are wont to call the jOod old times of our fathers and mothers there were curious notions, which, if carried oat in these latter imes, would sometimes be inconvenient If not absurd. As an instance we niay cite the following, from the Court Records of Iff 3, in WeV tern Massachesetts? - "The Wife of Edward Gramrig ot itadley, presented by the jury for vKaring silks against the law, they being of very mean estate; she bc ing also presented at the last court at Northamp. ton for the like offense, she then appeared not in per3on, nor yet now, but her hasband for herj the coo rt accounting little dtberwlse than coni tempt; and he bringing into court hie wife's silk hood and scarf, which, somewhat worn, yet they had been gool silk; whereupon he court fibed her JO shillings o the coanty, to be paid to the county treasurer."

Rub the arrow root smooth in a little cold milk; beat the egg and sugar together; bring the milk to the boiling point; then stir in the arrow-root ; remove it then i from the fire and immediately add the eggs and sugar, stirring briskly, to keep the eggs from cooking, then set aside to cool. If flavored with extracts, let it be done jast before putting it in the freezer. If the vanilla bean is used, it must be boiled in the milk. Cbeam Cace3. Two cups of flour, one of butter, half pint of water,- boil butter and water together and stir in the flour by'degrees while boiling, let it cool, and add five eggs, a quarter teaspoonful of Soda, drop this mixture on tins, bake in a quick oven.

A German professor cays that if one portion of vegetables be boiled in pure distilled or raia witter and another in water to which a little flait has been added, a decided difference is perceptible in the tenderness Of the two. Tegetablea boiled in pure water are vastly inferior in flavor. This inferiority may go so far in the case of onions that th'ey are "almost entirely destitute of taste or or odor, though when cooked in salt water, in addition to the pleasant Salt taste, is a peculiar sweetness and strong aroma: Thr also cod tain more soluble matter than when cooked in pure water. Water which contains 1,420th of its weight in salt js far better for cooking vegetables than pare water, because the Bait hinders the e-vaporatioa of the soluble and flavoring principles of the vegetable.

Lamartine tells a story that exquisitely illustrates a mother's love. In some spring freshet, a river wildly washed its shores, and rent away a bough whereon a bird had built a cottage for her summer hopes. Down the white and whirling stream drifted the green branch, with its wicker cup of unfledged Song; and fluttering beside it, as it went, the mother bird-. Unheeded the roaring river, on she kept, her cries of agony and fear piercing the pauses of the storm. How like the love of the old fashiooei moth-ert who followed the child she had plucked from her heart, all over the world. Swept away by passion that child might be, it mattered not; bearing away with him,- the fragments of the shattered roof tree, though ke did, . yt that mother, was with him, a Rath through all bis life, and a Rachel at his death.

Ijlcasing mmth) . . s. The Art of Visiting.- - . ' "Some people visit nearly all the time, and so waste their own lives and their friends' substance; some rarely visit at all, aud ao deny themselves and their neighbors one of the greatest pleas , ares of social existence. Some people make their visits so short that they are -not worth tho trouble they cost, others stay so long that the visit becomes a "visitation" like a fever or a famine. As use is always essential to excellence in any art, only those who have a certain " amount of practice, know how to visitJ wel!; while those who visit too much sin in another way, and become bad visitors, from imprudence and carelessness. Bq we are writing the essay which wo began with simple suggesting; and will only add, in. conclusion, that all rules mast vary more or. less with the character of the visitor. As an old epigram says "What smiles welcoms would I give - Some frienda to ee each day I lire: Ana yet what treasures would I pay If iom would always stay awayf Don't Fret. It is unamiable. A fretting man or woman is one of the most unlovable objects ia the world; A wasp is a comfortable housemate in. comparison; it only stings when disturbed. Bat an habitual fretter buzzes if she don't sting, with or without provocation. "It is better to dwell i a the corner of a house-top than with a brawling woman and in a wide honse." It is useless: it sets ao broken bones, stops no leaks, gathers no spilt milk, repairs no broken glass, cures no spoiled hay, and changes no east winds. It affects no body but the fretter himself.. Children and servants cease to respect the authority or obey the commands of a complaining worrisome; exacting parent or master. They know that "barking dogs don't bite," and lretters don't atrike, and they conduct themselves accordinely. !)infs Dii J)tiik Personal Cleanliness. TJre principal conditions requisite; for the maintaining the body in health and strength, are cleanliness, exercise aad suitable food and dress. We shall at present speak of Ct.AXLiXK33. Personal parity is 'so essential to a refined woman, that it is wonderful it should not be more thoroughly and universally practised-than it is. A lady would be shacked to be seen with dirty face or soiled hands; but it does not strike her that every pirt . of the akin equal!? needs ablation. The reason of this i3 that all the striae of the skin, frOn the sole of the foot to the crown of the head, is so covered with the pores, through which all the waste or injurious particles of the body are thrown off in the form of insensible perspiration, that a pin's point cannot be rann anywhere without tonching sue. When thesewes are choked up, from want of cleanliness, fever and many other diseases are liable to ensue. Ilence the necessity, iu which all medical men aree, for every part of the per--80n to.be thoroughly sponged over once every day. No bed room should be without the means for doing this, if a large bath cannot be had. A sponge of the coarse sort called honey-coralj is better than a fine one, as it holds more water, and almost can bo used for a shower bath. Cold water gives a far more invigorating batb than tepid; bat those who are not very early In ured to it must hegin it cautiously. The feet should never be set in cold water before the face, neck, and upper part of the body have been weir sponged with the same. Bat some constitutions can never bear the shock of cold water, and then tepid must be used. In both cases, si healthy glow mn3t bo produced by friction with a coarso rough towel, or a flesh brush. A little spirits of wine thrown into cold water, the first morning or two, will generally prevent the bather from taking cold. - " The hands, nails and teeth, nvjst always ba Carefully attended to. The teeth demand tho greatest care, and should be washed after every meal, as well as the last thing at night. I'uro Cold or tepid water is said to be the best thing in a general way, with a littld charcoal or white soap occasionally . j A visit should be paid to a dentist enco every six months. Nothing adds so ranch to the charm of a woman's appearance as fine hair; and the most beautiful wilt be spoiled by neglect. It should be thoroughly brushed every night, and wahe-l occasionally with soft water and the yolk of egg-? which has all the cleansing power of soap, without its harshness. Those who wear curls should never roll the hair in stiff paper of arjy sort, an l especially not in newspapers, as the roughness breaks the hair. The ends should be cat every fortnight. Great care should be taken of the rails. Thosa of the feet require even more than the finger nails, as they are liable to grow in with the pre-sure of boots, and to cause seriom" inceavetM ience; they ahouli be pared away at the aides and those of the hands allowed to form a point in the centre.

Ju speaking of the natritioas property of farinaceous food, and the proper state in which it ii most easily digested, he gives the following ex4 ce'lcnt adt'lee: Hot bread never digests..
