part There are two ways in this country Of de-
prvng sheep of their wool. In the first, or
coarser METHOD which is only adopted in the
case of Chevot and heath sheep, the operator
sits upon the ground, and placing the animal on
It's back between his knees, shears the wool from
the belly and legs, and then, after tying the latter,
proceeds to clear the back. In the second meth
cd, the legs are never tied, as tho disposition OF
the sheep is such as TO render it unnecessary. -
The animal is placed on its buttucks--the shearer
stands with the head between or closely in front
of his legs, and clips first one side, cutting from
the middle of the belly TO that OF the back, down
to the Joins. 1t is then placed on its side, the
knee Of the operator pressing on its neck, and the
wool is removed from the legs and buuucks. The
fleece is next rolled up with the cut side outwards,
commencing at The tail, and using the wool of the
other extremity fastening for the bundle.

which to store the wool, always remembering

FARMER A WORD

What did Locofocoism bequeslh TO the country?
Mr. Van Buren, left us bankrup, Treasury He
left The public interests every where abandoned
He left us wiihouta currency.
He left us debt of fifteen millions.
He left US the North Eastern and North Western
Territorial quesllons-though OF years duration
unsettled.
The Compromise Act he left US at the year of
conclusion, and treasury notes in lieu of manly
revenue action.
And with all these difficulties, foreign and do

Of The new administration, the Wings are asked
for The promised reform.

that under such circumstances he had been dis.

stead. In this state of the case, while The newly
engaged superintendent of your premises wa.
busy in planning the reparalion OF these iniuaies
imagine that the yalnous wretch who has caus

with u grin on his face, ask the following uues

Why does hot the corn grow upon this land
which Isgfsredto run toitd
Why is there cash coming from the mill;
for The timber that deSiroyed2
Why are not the houses erected in the stead O
those that burned doiOE?
Why have you 10 horses to supply the places O.
those ,chich Killed?
Why is there no return from The orchard that
fired?
Why have you not paid the thousands of dollar
TO the amount Of phich run you in debt?
Don't you think, in this state of the case lha
neither church nor state could prevent you from
knocking the rascal down?
This is true picture of locofocosm.

A SISTERS GRAVE.
ny n. c. wATERsToN.

Ere sin could blight, or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud TO Heaven conveyed;
And babe 1t blossom there Coleridge.
The leaves by tranquil breezes famed
In summer beauty o'or mo wave
While here, in loneliness, stand,
And muse beside sisters grave.
Ny SISTERS grave All, who can tell
The thoughts that through my bosom swell,
In naming one who was 30 dear;
While mournfuly lneer round
This spot of consecrated ground,
And feel that now she slumhers here.
Five years have passed-fve changing years,
Since here, beneath this twinklng shade,
With broken signs and gushing tears,
That sisters form was laid.
Five changing years-yet even now
gaze as then upon he brow,
And seem to hear soft low voice
That bids my very heart rejoice;
And then start and weep to find
That that which blessed my ear and eye
Was but vision of the mind
The echo of n voice gone by;
For here see the long grass wave
Sadly above sisters grave.
Yet there is benuty hero The bee
HUNS sweeiy through the summer hours,
And the soft breezes wander free
Mid bursting leaves and budding flowers;
And on the air is borne along
The lonely woodlands pensive song
While the mild moonlight, like spell,
Slumbcrs upon each hill and dell:
What wonder then that TO my heart
This grave which in such beauty lies,
Where eurh and Heaven their charms mpart,
Should seem the gate Of Paradise,
Where Faith, with her sweet smile of love,
Points to the glorious Heavens above.
And often thus, to this lone glen,
will, with thoughtful Footsteps tun
Fnr from the busy haunts of mon,
The purposes Of life TO learn >
Till, laid beside my sisters grave
The same long grass o'er both shall wave.
