Agiaooraey exists IN some shape In every
town and village in New England. II is an
aFislocfacy Of wealth usually, rather tllnn
tilntof talents, and shows itself in some PA
ces.inthe queerest forms. For instance ~
large villages like Hatfield and Deerf1cld'
the wealthy Farmers constitute the arIsIo-
cracv, and the small mechanics ure APT 10
be considered the substrutum OF society: LII
other towns where the mechanic arts Hour
ish and artizans make up the bulk Of socle.
Nv, the wealthy Mechanics are the aristo-
Gratis, and the tillcrs of the earth are COM
PEELED to assume subordinate position IN
Society. In Marblehead and Gloucester,
and all the towns on the coast, the sea-faring
men hold the balance of wealth, aud consc-
uuently they float on the surface of society.
III Cambridge and Amherst, intellect is the
criterion of measuring the position of man,
while in Boston wealth furnishes its posses
sor with standing among what is called the
aristocracy. In Lowell, the Manufacturer
reigns supreme, and in Nantucket the Tai
low Chandler, while the Shoe Maker in
Lynn "turns up his nose" at the attempts OF
the Shop keeper at social equGkity.-NOTt@-

Shecp Woym.-There is fly that depos-
ties it's eggs in the nostrils of sheep, usually
in August and September, where its matches,
and then makes its way into the head ana
often causes death. The frequent applica-
ton of tar to the noses of sheep, is CONSIDER
ed the best preventative. Put tar on boards
and strew on salt, and the sheep Will smear
their noses with tar in eating the salt. Inc
following method is recommended by some
sheep master. Take small log, dress 1t
little upon the upper side, bore holes into 1t
with a large augur at short intervals, ABOUT
two or three inches deep, fill these holes with
salt, and with brush apply tar as often as
once a week around the holes, and give the
sheen daily access to the salt. A small guam
t;tv Of tar frequently given to sheep is con-
sidered conducive to their health. Alexan-
der Reed, ESQ. of Washington Co: Penn,
observes, Is We have long been satisfied that
the use of tar as medicine or condiment Tor
sheep has not been duly appreciated. The
cough and foul nose, am disposed to think,
are both produced from the same disease
When we notice them we lose no time in re-
moving them from the flock, and make a free
use Of tar. It rarely fails to effect cure in
q few days, unless the animal is old or I'M
sound"
Different Modes of Worship.-Below
is little apologue-older perhaps than
any reauer OI tH0 SuUs AUS OASSuCuS
sentiment it inculcates older still. 1t is
coeyaI in existence with all religion-for
what are faiths, and what are forms, SO
long as tho spirit Of charity, the alpha and
omega of all religion, is preseryed!-N r.

81 A gentleman and his son we're walking
in village one Sunday, as the church
bells were ringing. The various societies
of worshippers were going to their respec-
tive houses Of worship. " Father" said
the little boy, ''why do not all these people
worship God in the same manner Z" 'And
why should they agree2 They were not
made to agree in this, suppose" said the
father. Just then poor man fell down
in the street in a ct. Numbers instantly
fastened to aid him. A Presbyterian sat
down and made his lap q pillow for the
sick mans head (; Baptist chafed his tenn
pies; Roman Catholic lady held smell
ling bottle TO his nose Unitarian until
ed his k-cloth, and unbut,oned his COL
lar to let him breathe more freely a Meth
odist ran for doctor an Episcopalan
soothed the poor mans crying children +;
and Quaker held his wide umbrella over
him, to keep off the burning sun. " Ar
thur" said the gentleman, pointing TO the
scene, "this is what men we're made to
agree in"
