BIRTHDAYS
bt oeoaos r. sHinur
A* all the memories of Ilf*
3a'ted wb*n life has fl»d?
A'* ei forbid to keep again
Th* birthdays of the dead ?
Tune was, when each aoccessive year
B ought, one bright day of mirth,
The looked-for anniversary
Of some beloved one’s birth.
Th* birth-day feasts of childhood’s age,
The feasts of riper years,
Remind us of like youthful joys
Remembered now with tears.
For they with whom those days wera spent,
Have done with all on earth s
The fond home circle’s broken np
That bailed each day of birth.
Yet. as the day*comes round again,
Marked with affection’s seal.
Once more we think of those we’ve lost,
Oriee more their presence feel.
The blessed spirits now in heaven
May not such cycles keep ;
T.me metes not out their happiness,
They know not night nor sleep.
Yet may they still retain the thoughts
Commemorating birth,
And haply still they keep in Heaven
The calendar of Earth.
Far off are they, but still toward them
Our loving arms we spread,
And ever in our hearts we’ll keep
The birthday.s of the dead.
Horses and Cattle in the World
An illustrated natural history of the nni
mal kingdom has just been published by
S. G. Goodrich. It has 2,400 engrav
ings. It is a highly useful work. Among
other information abounding in it, it con
tains the following, which is an estimate
of the number of horsps in various parts
of the world. From this we extract the
following:
The genera! estimate has been 8 to IS
horses in Europe to every hundred inhabi
tants. Denmark has 45 horses for every
hundred inhabitants, which is more than
any other European country.
Great Britain and Ireland have 2,500,
000 horses.
France has 3,000,000.
Austrian Empire, exclusive of Italy,
2,600,000.
Russia has 3,500.000.
The United Slates have 5,000.000
horses, which is more than any European
country ; the horses of the whole world
are estimated at 57.420 000.
Russia has 20,000,000 cattle.
Great Britain and Holland have S,000,
000.
Austria has 19,000 000.
France has 8 000.000.
United States oi America iiuve 22,
000 000.
The whole world i3 estimated to con
tain 210,000.000. It is supposed that one
third of them are killed annually, so that
we have about 28 000 000 lbs., 70 000.
000 skins, 140.000.000 horns, 280.000.
000 feel annually—to be converted into
beef, tallow, leather, combs, manure, etc.

Keeping Houses’ Feet and Legs in
Order. — If I were asked to account for
my horses' legs and feet being in better
order than those of my neighbors', I
should attribute it to the four following
circumstances: “First, that they are all j
■hod wiih a few nails, so placed in the
shoe as to permit the foot to expand every
time they move ; secondly, that they all
live in boxes, instead of stalls, and can
move whenever they please} thirdly, that
they have two hours’ daily walking ex
ercise when they are not at work ; and,
fourthly that I have not a head-stall or
rack-chain in my stall. These four cir- i
cumstances comprehend the whole mys-!
tery of keeping horses’ legs fine, and j
their feel in sound working condition up
to a good old age.”—.Miles.

Liquid Gi.ue—The following recipe,
the discovery of a French chemist, is
selling about the country as a secret, for
various prices, from one to five dollars.
It is a handy and valuable composition, ns
U does not gt latinize nor undergo putre
faction and fermentation, and become
offensive, and can be Used cold for all the
ordinary purpo-es of glue, in making or
mending furniture or broken vessels, that
ure not exposed to water, etc.
In a w,lie-mouthed bottle dissolve eight
ounces of best glue in a half pint of wa
ter. by setting it in a vessel of water and
healing till dissolved. Then add slowly,
constantly stirring, two and a half ounces
of strong aquafortis (nitric acid ) Keep
it well corked, and it will be ready for use.
--
Remedy for Chiles, and Fever and
Ague.—Take one pint of sweet milk and
one tablespoonful of ground ginger, mixed
thoroughly, and healed over the fire as '
warm as it can be drank when the chill
comes on or commences. Repeat the 1
dose once or twice, il necessary, and the
cure will be effected.
N. B.—If the system be costive, an
aperient may be nec“s*ary in oideT to
prepare it properly for the above prescrip
tion.
This is the most accessible, the cheapest,
the most efficacious and the most speedy
remedy in the world. — [United Stales

1 DlSBAXDT.XO or THE RfcYOLUTIOXABY
' Army.— When haa the sun, in all his
: course since time begnn, shone upon a
scene like ihe disbanding of the Revolu
I tionary army ? Where is the history tiiai
can show its parallel, or ihe people that
| can boast it* equal i An army flushed
; with victory, that had just achieved the
independence of its country, and given it
u place among the nations-; had effected
with iridescnf-ale toil and hardship, the
iiigii purposes of its enlistment, nnd that
had large and just claims upon the trea
sury a* well ns gratitude of the nation, is
summoned on parade for the last time.—
Their arrearages are unpaid—they are
without a dollar in their pocket*—without
comfortable apparel — without a single
day's rations in tneir knapsacks, hundreds
of miles from home—which home may
have been desolated in their absence, by
savage violence—many of them enfeebled
by sickness and protracted sufferings—
and all of them goaded by extreme sensi
tiveness, by a most eloquent exhibition of
their deserts, and an existing portraituie
of their grievances, by n talented nnd in
genious factiomst. Will their love of
country overcom*1 the promptings of sel
fishness and the keen and bitter stings of
disappoinment ? Will they refu.-e to
listen to the song of the syren, that justi
fies and urges self-remuneration? Will
these careworn and neglected veterans
.... . . ..
surrender the means of redress in their
hands, and trust cold charity for bread
nnd the lardy justice of the country for
remuneration? Oh. it is more than hu
man—it is God-like ! The drum beats—
the line is formed—ihe flag of independ
ence is advanced to the front—the officers,
with uncovered heads, bid their men a
silent farewell ! Filing off, they pile up
their arms in solemn silence, and with
clasped hands and averted eyes, are dis
missed each to his own way. Is there
aught in Grecian or Roman story, in an
cient or modern revolutions, that can
equal the last act of our veteran fathers’
magnanimity and patriotism ?
