Most drivers overdrive, says Mr. Murray, in his book called "The Perfect Horse." They attempt too much, and, in so doing, distract or hamper the horse. .Now and then you find a horse with such a vicious gait that his speed is got from him by the most artificial process; but such horses are fortunately rare, and honco the style of management required cannot become too general. The true way is to-let the horse drive himself, the driver doing little but directing him, and giving him that confidence which a horso alone gets K'linn lm fV.nla f Vm t. n <rni<-Li and friend is back of him. The most vicious aod inexcusable stylo of driving is that which so many drivers adopt, viz. wrapping the lines around either h*nd, and pulling the horse back with all their might and main, so that the horse, in point of fact, pulls the weight bach of him with his mouth, and not with his breast and shoulders. This they do under the impression that such a dead pull is needed in order to "steady" the horse. This method of driving I regard as radically and superlatively wrong. It would tax the ingenuity of a hundred fools to invent a worse ono. The fact is, with rare excep tioiis, tliero siiouia never do any pun upon the horse at all. A steady pressure is allowable, probably advisable; but anything beyond this has no justification in naturo or reason; for nature suggests the utmost possible freedom of action and head, body and limbs, in order that the animal may attain tho rightest rate of speed; and reason certainly forbids the supposition that by bits, and not by the breast collar, tho horse is to draw lite weight attached to it. I very seldom grasp the lines with both hands when the road is straight and free from obstructions. The lines are rarely i steadily taut, but held in easy play, iind used chiefly to shift tho bit in the animals mouth, and by this moLion communicate courage and confidence to him. I find that, by this method, my horse breaks less, and woes much faster, than when driven bv men who null the old-fashioned J k 3teady pull upon them. A Deacons Dinner. ( When you are carrying several j irticles aud one of them slips, it is j jest not to try to recover it.

DUPUY, The true woman may be dark, brown or fair; plain in feature, or lovely as a dream. It matters not, she always carries with her tho power of goodness, n?d the light that shines through her features is a radiant halo that brightens even into the perfect' day to whioh she looks with unwavering faith and trust, fSho walks through the world as the Una of existence, contracting no stain from its impurities, though her hand is ever stretched forth to the fallen to enable them to riso once more, and walk before the world in integrity and usefulness. Her daily life is an illustration of all that is gentle and loveable in our imperfect nature. Noble descent, high culture and elegant surroundings, may or may not be hers; but she is true to herself in any and every position. She affects nothing, for she is superior to pretense of every kind, and the utterances of her lips ? -' - * if., i . . .f i lire Ino ummiii (ja[iwnunin ui thoughts. Sincerity, benevolence, and forbearance, arc hoi* watchwords, and conscientiously docs she abide by their teachings. The truo woman may, and often does have her foibles, but she strives to conquer them, and assimilate to the idea of true womanhood that exists in her mind ; her life is a struggle to overcome evil with good, and in a degree she accomplishes it. Those who come within her sphere unconsciously yield to the softening influences she wields over them ; the turbulent grow quiet, the morose brighten up, and the saddened heart clings to her as to ihc sUy of existence. Ah ! such women are scattered high and low through all the walks of life, and a blessing and a joy they arc to it! Without such strong vet nentle spirits, the world would retrogade on tiie path of civilization; it is their influence which acts as the conservative] principle in tho maddening whirl of life, and brings bt>ck man to the central point of his existence?his home, and the harmonizing ties that art: four.d there. > As a wife, her price is above rubies, for she brings pfcncc, kindness, and tender lovingncss of nature to crown Lho marriage altar. The orange blossoms of tho bride ripen into golden fruitage, and many are the glad hearts that partake of its abundance. Her happiness she freely shares with her friends; her sorrows are sacred to Her own .heart, anu lo her heavenly "ether above does she take them for omfort and renewed hope. The children God gives her she neither regards as puppets to be iressed and exhibited, nor as little vessels of wrath to be managed and worried into a morose or dissipated naturity. Sho knows that, if sun ihino is necessary to the development )f the flowers of tho field, cheerfulicss is also a necessity to the human dossom ; and her children are trained o feel that a "soul at i.eaee with I tselt'" is ti?e only condition of earthly lappincKS. Of such a woman it may indeed bo >aid? 'Her children arise and call her blest; rler husband, and he also praiseth her." Th3 Wrong Spring. The following story in from Bartlett springs, California, where, as in well mown, there are a number of small prings possessing various qualities. I'he water of soino is recommended or drinking purposes, others for balling, or for the cure of certain disuses; but the one to which our nurativc refers is a small soda spring, he water of which is considered an xeellcnt diinlc, and a spring recom)ended for the cure of corns. It seems that an old gentleman ,*ho was troubled with corns made it practice to go to tiie scda spiing very evening and give his corns a uak before turning in i'or the night, nder-the impression that it was the urn spring. The aristocratic visiters kewisu made it a practice to go to ' lie soda spring and take a drink beM'c retiring, which was usually a * ttlo after the old gentleman got J wougli soaking liis corns. Thov ere rather fastidious in their tasto lid would viirv c.ni oi'nllv rinse out s ic cup before taking a drinlc; but s ne evening one of them happened to )me down u little earlier than comion and found the old gentleman >aking his corns as usual. The high tied chap indignatly demanded what 3 meant. "Ain't this the corn ring?" meekly inquired the old man. Juvn spring! This is the soda iring." "Well," said the old man, . thought there must be something 1 rong; I have been coming here ' ery night for a week and 1 couldn't e aB it helped my corn a bit." The a tor of that spring has been negated since that evening.
