ought to accept of a thousand years of life,
even provided that those three important
advantages Of health, youth and riches,
could be securely guaranteed unto him.
But this is an offer that can never be refus.
ed, for it will never be made. Taking
things as they really are, it must be confes.
sed that life, after forty, is an anti climax,
gradual indeed, and progressive with some,
but steep and rapid with others. 1t would
be we'll if old age diminished our percepri-

few are the most fortunate guests, who are

misfortune is that body and mind, like man
and wife, do not always agree 10 die to

the body; and worse still when the body
survives the mind but, when both these
survive our spirits, our hopes, and our

Hast thou not seen fragile flower,
Wet with the dews of morning,
With many pearly drop and gem,
Its open leaves adjoining?
And glis,ening 10 the beam OF day,
Hast seen those dew drops steal away?
So have we seen living hower,
In childhood's merry morning,
A simple love and gentleness
It's budding life adjoining,
But like the dews before the sun,
Its earthly course was quickly run.
Hast thou not seen tulips bud,
lts honeyed lips incosing,
Plucked rudely from The parent STEM,
On which il hung reposing,
To deck princely lady's hair,
And breathe It's balmy fragrance there?
So we have seen fairer bud,
living soul inclosing,
Too rudeIy snatched from earth away;
And now in bliss reposing,
II shines pure and priceless gem
Upon the Savior's diadem.

SUGGESTIONS TO THE Wool GROVER.
Hitherto the attention OF the farmers has
been principally DIRECTED to :he rearing OF
sheep for the profit of the fleece. or of The
carcass separately, without reference 10
The advantages to be derived from both
conformity. Hence the Saxon Merino, and
New Leicester breeds have been princi
pally sought for, the two first on occoun,
OF their fine wool, and the latter on accoup,
OF The great weight Of carcass. The great
increase in the number of fine woolIed
sheep, and the serious depression for some
time IN tie wool market, render it worth
the consideration of the sheep master
whether he cannot vary the character of
his flock to advantage.
The South Down sheep of Britain have
the reputation of making the best mutton
OF any breed; and this mutton sells for a
penny pound more in the London marke,
than any other. We have ate of this NUT.
ton several times. and recently, aud think
it deserves oil the commentator bestowed
upon 1t. The sheep are hardy. and are pc.
cul'arly adapted to light upland soils; ,Iev
take on fat quick and come early to matu
rty. This breed has heen recently i'm
proved by cross with the improved Cots

without seeming prejudice TO the mutton.

OF wool each, and from 40 yearIing Is. an

SoAloquy, The following profound re.
Elections, uttered by one of Meals heroes,
IN his "Charcoal Sketches" gives glimpse
of glory in the way oifuture improvements:
{ wonder if they wouldn't list me for O
Charley? Hollering oysters and bean
soup has guy me splendid voice and in
stead of steering 'em away, if the thieves
were TO hear me singing out, my sti'e of
doing it would almost coax 'em to come
and be TUX up. They'd feel like a bird
when snake is after it, and would walk
up, and poke their coat collar RICH, into my
list. Then after while. I'd be promoted
to the fancy business of pig ke,ching,
which though it is very light and very
excellent, requires genius. 'Tis'nt every
man can come the sclentlfcks in that line:
and has studied the nature OF a pig so as to
beat him at man9uvfeIne, and make him
surrender because he sees it ant no use Of
doing nothing 1t wants farming to con-
vince them crIlturs. and lis only to be done
by heading EN- so handsome, hopping which
ever way they hop, and tripping 'em up

by the roots, or to hurt their feelings BY
pulling or dragging them about BY The ears.
"Bnt what's the use, II was listed,
they'd scan find out to boiler the hour and
to ketch the thieves by steam! yes, and
they'd take em to court on a railroad, and
try them with billing water. They'll soon
have black locomotives for wat chmen and
cons'ables. and big bllers for Judges and
mayors. Pigs will be kelched by steam,
and billed fit TO eat before they're done
