ssThe fiocks of fine woolled sheep in Spain
before the invasion of that unhappy desolat-
ed country by Bonaparte, was estimated at
about 5000. 900; of the sea moiety, perhaps
2ths. are already destroyed, and the remain
der daily diminishing by rapine and neglect
From what corner of the earth, then, can
the manufactures of this country be suppli-
ed with. fine wool for the next twenty years?
This is a most serious question, and when
ever the manufacturers shall be convinced
of their real situation for supply of fine
wool. the growers thereof in England will
me, with very different reception from
them, from that which they have hitherto
experienced.
The Quality ofthe Mutton.
Interested Individuals have created so
many doubts of the quality of Merino nut
ton, that those who have had no opportu-
nifty of correcting their judgment by expert
ence, suffer themselves to be misled by as
sert,nns which probably had their origin
in observations on mutton in Spain; From
such premises can correct inferrences be
drawn! Mutton is eaten in Sp, only by
the lowest description of the people, ex :ept
in the houses OF few nobiemen and gentle-
men, who Craze Merno wethers in the
English manner, and the excellence Of their
mutton has never been questioned"
"The comparative price of mutton in Lon
don forms good criterion of its value Mr.
King, of Newgtte market, sells Mcrine
mutton for half penny pound more than
auy other;+not, as he declares, on account o.
public curiosity, but its superior flavor"
=. There is an excellence peculiar to Merinr
sheep and their crosses, which has hithcr
TO been little noticed their hind quarters
are heavier than their fore quarters, conse
quently the greater weight of mutton is ii
the more profitable joints. Mr.. Toilet, al
early and extensive breeder OF Merin'
sheep and coadjuter, OF Lord Sommer
Vile has found ready sale for, and perfcc
appreciation of, his mutton in Staffordshire
Mr.. Hunt records, that his wethers hav'
always turned out to his most complete sat
isfaction in Hampshire; while Mr.. Hatfield
residing in the isle of Wight, more partic
ularly supports the conjecture of the Duk
of 3edford, by informing us that many gen
tlemen Of his acquantance think this nut
ton equal to Welch. DR.. Parry, too, VIII
can never be mentioned among Mern
breeders without respect and admiratiell
mentions in his Facts, ''that at Bath, iron
its size and fAvor, it has always been mucl
courted, and has sold in the market for tn
highest price" Mr.. Armitage. of WebSe

SHEEP AND WOOL.

The following extracts from the second
report of the Mcrine Society OF Great-brit-
ain may not be uninteresting, at this time
to many of our readers. The society was
established for the purpose of encouraging
the breed of Merino sheep in that country
it is supported BY long list of members
among whom are several OF great respect
ability; and at the head OF which appears
the name of Sir Joseph Banks as president.
From the who G tenor of the report, It APP
pears. that 4 great deficiency of fine wool
for their manufactures was apprehended,
and If was ceniectured that it would require
at least 90 wears before they would be able
to, supply. BY wool of English growth, the
onantity annually imported. The state OF
Spain. since the publication of the report,
has been such as to induce belief that the
enterprize os few meritorious individuals
has secured to the United States this use
full animal Whether the wool is therefore
sought for by our manufacturers, or those
abroad the rearing OF sheep cannot tan 70
continue an object deserving the attention OF
d. every farmer. For SO far, all the Merino
wool raised in this and the neighboring
counties. has been purchased, at liberal pri-
ces, by b. Wells & Co. the proPrletors OF
: the Steubenville Wooden Mandatory. Sc
II
ufacture into cloth, has been by them, ex-
nortsd to the- eastern cities, and sold. The
proceeds of which, as well as of large por-
ton of their cloths, enables them to supply
their store IN Steubenville with all kinds ol
goods needed for the supply OF the country
thus retaining in this section of country the
money (betwen so and $4,000 annually
which otherwise would be carried over the
mountains, and which alone make an I'M
portant addition to our circulating medium
This fact is better than a thousand argu-
ments, in favour of the policy OF encouraging
domestic industry. But to return to the
Sheeo:-An additional inducement for in
Producing the Merino breed OF sheep on eve
nv farm in this region OF our country will be
found in the extracts of the report concern
ing the quality of mutton, from which 1t APP
pears that the various crosses AFFORD NUT
ton equal, if not superior to any OF their tor
mer breeds; and in many instances decid-
ed preference has been to the Merino NUT
ton. NJ any proofs of this might be adduc-
ed; such are selected as, it is hoped, viii be
satisfactory, and are best adapted, by then
breviry, for insertion in publc journal
Steub. Herald.

wife, and made an effort to be happy one but
nothing could cure the silent and devouring melan-
choy that had entered into her very soul. She
wasted away, in slow, but hopeless decline, and
at length sunk into the grave, the victim of bro
ken heart.
1t was on her that Moore, the Irish poet, compos-
ed the following lines
She far from the land where her young hero sleeps
And lovers around her are signing,
But coldly she turns from their gaze, and weeps,
For her heart in his grave is lying.
She sings the wild song of her dear native plains,
Every note which she lov'd awaking,
All little they think, who delight in her strains,
How the heart of the minstrel is breaking
He had livd for his love--for his country he died.
They were all that to life had entwined him
Nor soon shall the tears of his country be dried,
Nor long will his love stay behind him.
Oh make her grave where the sunbeams rest,
When they promise glorious morrow
They'll shine DER her sleep, like smile from the
west,
From her own lov'd island of sorrow.

FROM THE NEw-LowDoN ADVOCATE,
TEE GRAVE YARD,

love to wander in the grave yard. 1t is pleasant
to depart from the troubles of life, to retired and
still place. which is endeared by the memory of de.
parted friends, and solemnze our minds in reflect
ing on the times we have spent with them and the
time when We must meet them in other scenes
We forget in such situation, the passions and dis
fractions we every where else experience 1t is
the sabbath of the soul 1t is like an hour devoted
to peace, and sacred to virtue. We can have no
communion with the dead. We cannot embrace
their bones, and kiss their ashes. The ruin of NOR
tally is loathsome But our spirits can meet in the
purest regions of the air, and hold "colloquv sub
lime"
The grave is sacred. Here is the abode of some
thing, emhaimed with tears and hallowed by friend
ship. There is no defence about tit is powerless
But It IS protected by a shade of awful mystery.
which arm dare raise. When any one, with the
hand of sacrilege, profanes this holy sanctuary. he
IS doing something more than transgressing the laws
OF his fellow beings; he is blasting the tenderest
and most sacred feelings of the hcart and is tear
ing from his own bosom the commission that could
give his claim 10 the rights of humanity.
The grave yard is the source of the most dear and
melancholy association. We remember the times
when we have followed to this place the bodies Of
those we most loved. We remember to have felt
here those emotions which the strongest of the
heart, in parting forever with them whom we knew.
and admired, and cherished, with the fondest afTec
ton
When we see the body Of a fellow being commit
ted to the tomb; when We know that all connexions
with one 50 dear as friend are ended, the emotions
we experience are 50 touching and SO whitening,

hope on the future. We are never so con
WINGED of our weakness as when we look
over whole field filled with all that was
noble and fair in man; and W. never
raise our hearts and eyes to heaven, in
purer devotion and brighter anticipation
than when we long to have done with
lite, and make haste TO pass through this
dark passage, which we know will in
troduce US to that holy retreat, where the
weary rest in peace and none live but the
just.
We cannot, then, visit this place too Of
ten, to learn the most solemn lessons Of
humility and of wisdom. Our hearts ara
clear, when surrounded with such asso-
Citations, from wicked thoughts and proud
aspirings.
Who could indulge in dreams Of pride
and Of ambition, who would feel bitter
ness against his enemy, or would form
schemes Of guilty pleasure, when per
haps he was standing on the grave of one
who had been gay and proud with him
or who had been his enemy, but now was
humble and helpless, and gone from him
forever? Who could commit a crime,
when standing by the grave of a Father!
There is feeling Of the heart which
makes it pure and fit for good impress
sions, when it is melted by the remem-
brance Of former love and early and con-
tinued endearment, which we can know
and feel no more. When we reflect on
the tenderness Of a departed parent, the
solicitude and the sorrows, the prayers
and tears, which are so often the wit
nesses of a fathers care, all the sweet
dreams and fancies of childhood return
we remember how we have played on his
knee and hid in his bosom we love to re-
call the times, when we could throw on
him the burden Of all our cares; and find
with that pathizing friend, protection
and advic" in all our little troubles. We
feel most bitterly how often we have of
Tended and panied his tender bosom with
our disobedience and nnkindness; and
when all these scenes and recollections
press on our memories, we forget all our
wonted worldly views and interests, and
become children again. O! would as
soon disturb and be sacriiegious to his
ashes as to commit single evel deed or
TO indulge one impure thought on that
holy ground, where the honored bones Of
my father are resting.
1t is consecrated not only by memory
and affection, it has the grief of your
most unhappy moments, and has been
