Instance ara positively worae, both in
manner of expression, and ia perspicuity
' of style.
Incidentally wa would commend this
most ancient of all poem to our literary
friend,many of whom hsve not sufficient
ly cultivated an acquaintance with it
beauties. Take, for instance, the descrip.
tioa of an Arabian war-horae. Iaamere
tiliarian point of view, aa a matter of
.agricultural InUrAft, we doubt if suoli
epeoimeni of horse flosh are to be souu
after threee thousand years of culture.
Thia book wa written in Arabio, pro-
kably ia the palace of Tlolomy, the
irsl king of the Pharaoh line, ia Egypt,
three thousand four hundred yeara ago;
long before the pyramids ar the Sphynx
were thought of, and while Babylon was
yet a tented village of shepherd.
A random historical faot or two respect
ing it may be interesting. Sixty-five
year after thia book had been written,
Camob left Egypt and lande'd ott the

historical fact show not only the super
iorlty in antiquity of the Book of Job, but
also the fact that the Grecian enges were
acquainted with it philosophy. The
wise men of Greece, nearly all made pit
grimages to Egypt to educate thomselves
in its art, science and literature, and re
laming, recitsd their knowledge to disci'
plei ia tbe Academic grove and temples.
That the grand epic of Job, written by a
camber of the royal uouee of the Lagida,
and read by all the learned Mngii, wa not
- familiar to them, is uol a auppoaable case.
From it and the five Books of Moses,

Tha custom of dividing tha 'members

4tli. Auk an infidel or almost any other
man, what the reason fur thii division ie,
and we will get, in effect, the cutting

10 turn mat evil tbtDks." "Those pure
Ohr stisns cannot trust their brethren

They fenr thoughts and expressions not
consistent with their sermon." We wil'
get thia answer, because he who thinks

to no olherconoluaion. The general opinion

m Hie cause for it is unnecessary.
Whatever'about religion there ts whioh
renders it uninviting, whatevor prohib
its ths ploasures of social intercourso,
tends to dotraot from its attractions for
the young, or to a-uuder the social ties of
the middle aged, or the old, is not sine
dient, to say the loast.
It is a portion of the creed of all chur
ches that mans heart Is, by nature, antag"
oiiistio to true piety, and that to the un.
anclified mind the roalities of Divine
truth are distasteful, nay more, they are
nsusious. ftow therefore to bring al'
unJor influence of the Gospel, it is right,
proper, dcsAuctioued by the usages of the
chiirou. in every age to attract the world
by innocent and legitimate charms. We
have in our churches good music, com-
ortnble seats, clean carpets, all the eraoos
of architecture, all the chnrms of oratory,
all the fascinations of dress, and in many
of them a very considerable admixture of
theatrical pantonine. No one, not evon
the must strict and rigid sectarian objoots
lo those attractions, they ara all right and
proper. In fact the church though their
id is able to reach, and elevate and refine
very many who are not more radically
benefitted.
In view of this we ask why not charm
the young by bringing them together uu-
dor the droppings of the sanctuary Is
there anything more sacred than youth
ful love? Let those whose proximity to
the I nferlor orders of animated nature
prevents them from appreciating its puri
ty, oondemn it. But we say, lot it be
sanotified by assooiMion with Rible truths
and a foundation .will ba laid for Christian
ity in the family relations which must
spring Trom it TLera ara many who
uow spend their Sunday evenings iu idle
gossip who, if different usages prevailed
in the chuioh, would spend them, to
their own spiritual benefit, and to the ad.
vanooment of the prosperity and useful
ness of the church.

perience lo relate oa this question this

A SUNDAY EVENING REVERIE. Horse Racing at Fairs.
Tie Agricultural press is com.
ing boldly to the defenoa of the practice
of running horses at our annual fairs
for the purpose of enoouraging the cul
tivaiion of fast horses.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republicsu
says:
llousa Raciho at Fair Ouita
number of old women in Maitaaohuselts
and elsewhero are distressing themselves
over the fact thai racing is beginning to
exciw so muuh interest al the agricultur
al fair. They are, somehow, afraid that
narut will be done to the fairs or the peo
ple. This is a piece of greenyisro which
a few years hence, will ba heartily laugh
ed at. They fear that the empty gun-
barrel will 'go oB.' We hail it, on tho
contrary, aa a most encouragiug era in
-uuuiiurei ilrt, ,v venture the asser
tion that uever, in the history of Massa
chusetts, has there been 10 high au inter
est iu agricultural fairs, in alt tl. r d.
tails, as during the last autumn yet the
ri.u ui sneeu 01 noises were almost uni
versal. A horse race is jiui as legitimate
and lorty times si exciting, as a plouih
i.ig match or the drawling of load by ox
Uhiks. People love to see horses ' troi.-i
It's life most natural thing ia the world.
Farmers love a holiday: and if these di.r!
iiified agricultural papre. which howl so
over what they are pleased to terra 'the
race course,' succeed in frightening peo
ple out of it, and making these annual
githeriugs as solemn as I he D selves, they
will do more to kill the interest in the
other depsruusal of the exhibition thaa
all other causes oombined. Tha farmer
ara not betting mm, and are aoundaully
ah'a lo take care of themselves, witliovtt
theedvir.e from any qnnrter. Will our
friends, tba grewlnrs, have the kindness
er.d good tonea ta 'dry up?' 1

two in advance of the others.
Charley has a nice filly, with thia, slo
ping shoulder, long hip, and such a good
waiker; lie would like to e the nag that
could out-walk his filly. CharUry Is rid
ing to town, and Jim comes up on the
same errand, and having learned the slate
of Charley's mind, accommodates him to
walk with hi sorrel tor a quarter of a
mile; the stskes ar tha good opinion of
each boy for Ins nag. Charley loses.
fiobody evsr Ihoilsrlil that was a horse
raoe: well, may be it wasn't. At the
county fair, John had a Morgan and Will
had a Uullfounder; atanding sli'l, tho
judges could not toll which was best, and
as one or the other had to be best, the
judges said, 'Let's see them move.' John
trotted, and Will trotted, John trotted
faster, and Will trotted fuller, John trot
tod as fast as he could, and Will trotted
as fottas he could, and they both srotted
as fast as they could, and kept on trot
ling; and the people gathered about, and
each one of the live thousand made up his
or her mind which horse they would rath
er have, and so did the judges, and the
t ot.ing was over. And then some folks
thought they began to smoll a horse race;
and some folks have a very nice and dis
criminating sense of smull. Our olfacto
ries are not that sharp.
Take a soatvti.h our farmer frie:,d
Mordecai, Leo, of Stark, after his Fly,
and when the wind begins to whis.lein
your ears, ask Mordecai what he will take
for the mare, and see how quietly he will
loll you she is not for sale; and alter a lit
tle more such experience, lonrn some good
hard horse sonse. and confess that the
raising of such stock is not 'at utter va
riance with agricultural success.
We can hardly bring our pen to write
seriously on this subject, after all. Life
is all but a race of one kind or another,
and tha boat ad vice we have to (rive, is.
not lo run against each other's sulkeys.or
leap uitones so wide tha tyou will stick
in the middle. Don't get out of breath,
and don't fret. So we will ceme to the
end of tha race in good order.

W C. Grit, Dxak Sib:
We wih through the columns of your
paper, to say a few words to the ciliiens
of Seneca county, relative to our annual
fairs, '
Six years ago our Agricultural Society
was arganixud, and our first fair held on
a two acre lot, with room to spare. But
after two years we found more room neo
essary and we rented and enclosed two
sores mors; and after the lease of two
more years the increasing interest mani
fested induced us too add two acres more
making six acres, under a lease of eleven
years, with a provise to extend twenty if
desired.
We now consider the Society perma
nently established, and with judicious
management and the continuance and aid
of the farmers anil mechanios of our
county, we see no reason why our annu
al fairs shall not compare favorably with
those of any other oounty in the State.-
But to do this a lit'lo material aid ia nec
essary; a trifle from each one feeling an
Interest In the matter; so that the burden
shall not full so heavily upon a few.
Those who attended our fair one year ago
(and we think everybody waa present,)
will remember bow imperfeotly our can
vass tent served us during the rain
when we stood in mud to our shoe tits,
listening te the address of Gen. Worth
iuglon, and whoa eriiulo of delicate tex
ture wore in danger of being ruined by
the rain and bad to be secured by their
owners as best lliey could.
Xow to avoid a repetition of these
evils aud still worse ones that might be
fall us la case of heavy storm, wo pro
pose to dispense with the use of the old
canvass thai, (whioh at Wast cannot serve
more than one or two years more.) and
build as most other societies lo the state
have don to frame buildings each seven
ly-five by fifty feet, with shingle roof,
Woather boarded and ia every way made
secure, so that articles belonging to the
society can ba safely restored, aud that
tables and jixluivs remain permaneut thus
avoiding au annual expense of forty pr
fifty dollars for refitting.
We estimate thecont of two such tents
at $1000, we think it a amall matter for
the city af Tiffin to raise &500, aud the
c'uisen of the ' country tha remaining
5lK). We deem it necessary to point out
the advautage of this project but respect
fully a,k you to examine it in all iis
bearings, to reflect upon its usefulness,
not only to yourselves but your children
and eoramunily,
And when an agent that will be1 ap
pointed iu each Township for that pur
pose shall call upon you, wa doubt not
but you will each cheerfully and freely
"fork over as much of the surplus as you
can spate.
Wa would also say that it is tha inUa-
lion of tha Board to sink one or Isro wells
on tha ground, also to employ an auction
eer for tha kit day of each fair, a, tha
talc may ba mvla of any article! on r
hibilion that tha owner cwi proper to

The mass of "long-robe men" seeking

claims to vr.c'ant honors is also strongly

him before help came. There were fifteen
wounds on his neck, and five' on other
parts of bis person. A farmer of that

carried off by a tigress. An undevoured
half of his body was subsequently re

people in the residency oi Kravang, not

- A Sharp Vicab. A well authentica
ted story bas been told of a certain vicar
who, several yesrs ago, lived a fen miles
from Loughboroug. lie was rather, eo
oentrio, but not easil imposed upon. On
a particular occasion he and several of
the principal inhabitants dined together
at one of the iuns in the village, aud one
of the company, thiuking that the affair
would not bo remunerative to the land
lord, suggested that he might tharge aa
extra bottle bottle of wine or two In ths
bill, by way of making it up. That,
sail the landlord, might be done, but ti e
vicar put every cork into his pocket as a
check lo the acoount. Leicester Mer

From out the folds of sleep!
The new Year.
Ths year of 1658 has gone by ns Ilk a train
under full carver tipon th Iron tracky stuck e
clatlrr, crash and fury it is gone! We look
back after It, as It rapidly recedes lo the dim dis
tance, In memory. It bore away Its freight f
joy and woe, of virtuous acts and crimes, of
benevolence and oppression, of merry Inughture
and dismal sighing.
The past year has been one of unusual excite
mens. The conclusion of ths bloody eampalf n in
Europe; the struggle between freemen and tli
American despot and his southern allies fur
Kansas; the attack on Sumner j the massacre
in ranama; the fillibustier war In Nicaruguatnd
more than all the great Presklential struggle
have all crowded rapidly upon th excited gase
of the publio. . , ,
Added to this hare been, in our own locality,
many changes. Death has been busy; tho merry
marriage bell has continually been ringing out
its musio, and strangers have been coming in
great number from tbe Spirit World to try the
realities, Jots snd miseries of life. Every heart
has been like the face of nature, alternately Ugli
and shadow, sunshine and showers.
We hare been blessed with abundant harvest,
general prosperity, peace in our owa Immediate
borders, and all the pleasures of life that we will
ever enjoy in this world. We can only profit by
the past. Let us be thankful for the good we
have enjoyod, and learn by the evils we har
suffered to lalior for the baoniacss and welfare of
our fellow mortals, and render this worldajourney
aa pleasant ss possible. '
We wiih all a happy voyage while passing
down the stream through the year Just entered.
