f,| ROWIXQ AOA1SBT THE TIDE.
! It is easy to glide with its ripples i
A down the stream of Time, t
To (low with the course of the river, 1
Like ni l.sic to some old rhyme ; 1
i But ah I it takes courage and patience i
1 Against its current to ride; I
And we must have strength from heaven I
I When rowing against the tide. I
We tray float on the river's surface j
,, While our oars scarce touch theetream, (
* And visions of early glory I
. Ou our dazzling eignt may gleam;
We forget that on before us
j The dashing torrents roar,
; And, while we are idly dreaming, ?
Its waters will carry us o'er.
But a few?ah, would there were many!
Row up the "Stream of Life;"
i They struggle against its surges,
4 * And minu neither toil nor strife.
I Though weary and faint with labor,
J Sinizine triumphant thev ridp :
ft For Christ is the hero's cnptain
I When rowing against the tide.
I Far on through the hazy distance,
I Like a mist on distant shore,
ft ^he? eee of a city,
I w ith its banner floating o'er.
I Seen through a glass so aarkly
j They almost mistake their wny;
[But faith throws light on their labor,
When darkness shuts out their day.
I And shall we be or of that number,
I Who mind no toil nor pain ?
I Shall we moan the loss of earthly joy9
I When we have a crown to gain ?
| Or shall we glide on with the river,
I With death at the end of our ride,
While our brother,with heaven before him,.
Is rowing against the tide?

A FerllouaTrade?How they Break
Wild Horses in Texas.
Those who bave never visited the regions
where wild horses are caught or reared have
but little idea bow the untamed steed of the
prairies are rendered tractable and useful. At
the present day in Texas the hordes of mustangs
that formerly ranged over its vast prairies
have become almost extiact in the settled
portions, and confine themselves to the extreme
western counties. In their place are borst-s
mostly crossed with American stock, which are
in a state of semi wildness?that is, they roam
at will until certain seasons of the year, when
all such as can be caught are driven in herds to
2 huge pens constructed for the purpose, to be
V| branded and marked, after which most of them
r : are let loose to roam at will again.
^ When the owner of a portion of a herd def
sires to break any of his young horses he procceds
in thiswise: The tirst movement is to
lasso the horse selected by the head and forefeet,
and throw him to the earth ; then a kind
>-. of hair halter, called a " bossal," is pnt on his
5* head, both to serve as a bridal and to stake the
animal by, it being much more effectual than a
halter or bridle in checking his frantic efforts
to liberate himself. He is either tied up closely
all night or staked, at the will of the owner.
v. The nest morning the sport begins.
F All horse or stock raisers have one or
gh more vaquervs, whom they employ for the
special purpose of breaking and riding wild
r and refractory horses. These go oat, followed
1 by all the members of the family, and proceed
2 to overhaul their saddles and see that there is
* no defect in the " rigging." When they are
satisfied that all is secure, they lead, or rather
rj drag forward, the steed, lie is alternately
1/ led, dragged and whipped forward, until he
[ reaches the point where he is to be saddled,
ti- A leather strap attached to the bosal is then
" palled over his eyes, and a saddle blanket is
f dropped gently on his oack, bat very seldom
i remains at the first tria1, as he will almost inf;
variably shake it off. After one or more trials,
K however, be submits to both blanket and sadP
die. The latter article is strapped on tightly
H with two girths, fore and flank, strapped, inR[
deed, so tight, that one uuaccustomed to the

B the annual in two; the rider now adjusts the
stake lnpe into reins by tying it securely to the
bosal, leaving a lor g end by which to hold on,
in the event the horse should succoed in throw?
ing him.
r ~ r^verytb.tig is now ready for the mount. The
rider adorns his heels with a huge pair of
> spurs, stands directly lacing the horse, or a
little forward of the shoulder, seises the uuder
part of the bosal with his left hand, pulls the
[ hole's head around near hiui to prevent being
kicked, tak> s the stirrup in his right hand, and
turning it toward him places his left foot in it
firmly. Grasping the pommel, he now gives
the saddle a shake or two, makes one or two
feints at mounting to see how his hcrseship
will take it, and then suddenly springs, seating
himself securely in the saddle.
The blind-, of course, are still over the eyes ,
of the horse, which as a general thing stands
with bis neck stretched out and head partially
[ down, a periect picture'of awkwardness. The i
rider is at his ease and adjusts himself and
everything about hiui with the greatest care, i
as he kuows there is warm work before him.
When ready fur the start he reaches gently
forward and slips up the blinds. Naturally
the horse is rather astonished at first and refuses
to move. A sharp application of the
whip a.id spurs, however, readily induces him ]
to change his mind. He takes timidly one or
two awkward steps, then suddenly doubling
up until he resembles a camel and throwing
his bead down between his fore feet, he begins
a series of piches. which consist tn jumping as
high and as far us he can, coming down stifflcgged.

dinary feat of going down a flight of stairs at
one step san form some faiut idea how it feels
to sit on the back of a pitching hor.-e.
Some of the more vicious will lie dowo when
the saddle is buckled on, aud it requires a tre
meodous amount of whipping to get them
started; some will roar and fail backward, j
occasionally killing their riders; some will j
pitch straight ahead fur quite a distance, while i
others will pitch straight forward for a few 1
jumps, and then, as trie Texaus say, "swap i
ends so quiik that it makes your bead swim." 1

exercise, being wholly unaccustomed to a sad- 1

?The story of the Countess Benedetti, wife a
of the French Minister to Prussia, is worth a
recording. She was once a Greek slave, landed I
at Alexandria by Jocosi, the Celebrated iner- *
chant of Constantinople. She bad been cdu "
cated for sale, and was consequently full of *
accomplishments. Oue of the wealthiest of ^
Arab bankers in Alexandria purchased the girl ^
to wait upon his wife to whom be was much 8J
attached. The Greek girl, lively and amusing,
diverted the cr.nui of the harem, and soon be- P
came the ruling spirit there. In course of time
the wife died.aud the aged husl>and, regretting ?
that he could not marry her, adopted her as his ?
child aud the heir to his enorinoas fortune. At
bis death the former slave inherited bis wealth, &
and as Benedetti, at that time a young attache ti
belonging to the French Consulate at Alexandria,
happened to present himself to the heiress,
w<?n her affections, and they were married.
The old merchant's money enabled Benedetti ?
to cut Lis way to a conspicuous position in
diplomacy, and his wile, lovely aud acoom- H
plished, reigned for a long time over the world &

lokis nothing in solution which would account
for its temperature, and the electric needle

opinion is that the ice in summer is caused by
the freeling of the gravel bed during the previoufe
winters, and that the cold gets fastened in.
in some incomprehensible manner, aud the ice
just stays through the summer.

the hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can bo
saved by this application, and stimulated
into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment,
it will keep it clean and vigorous.

scalp arrests and prevents the formation
of dandruff, which is often so uncleanly
ami offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and injurious

benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIIt DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
