MILTON ON HIS Loss OF SIGHT.

I0llTON ON HIS AVSS OS SIGH u.
The following sublime poem is said tohave been
taken from the Oxford edition of MILroN's works
am old and blind!
Men point at me as smitten by Gods frown;
Afflicted, and deserted Of my kind,
Yet am not cast down.
! am weak, yet strong;
murmur not that no longer sec -
Poor, old, and helpless, l the more belong,
Father Supreme! TO Thee.
A merciful Onel
When men are farthest, then Thou art most near,
When friends pass by my weaknesses 10 shun,
Thy chariot / hear.
Thy glorious face
Is leaning toward me, and its holy light
Shines in upon my lonely dwelling place
And there is more night.
On my Bonded knee,
recognise Thy purpose, clearly shown;
My vision Thou hast dimmed that may see
Thyself, Thyself alone
This darkness is the shadow Of Thy wing;
Beneath ii | am almost sacred--heTe,
Can come no evil thing
Oh ] seem to stand
Trembling, where foot of mortal eer hail, been,
Wrapped in the radiance from the sinlcss land
Which eye hath never seen.
Visions come and go;
Shapes Of Respondent beauty round me throng,
From angel lips seem 10 hear the flow
OF soft and holy song.
1t is nothing now,
When heaven is opening my sightless eyes,
When airs from PARADISE refresh my brow,
The earth in darkness lies.
In purer cline,
My being fills with rapture-waves Of thought
Roll in upon my spirit-strains sublime
Break me unsought.
Give me now my Tyre!
feel the STRINGS of a gift divine,
Within my bosom glows unearthly fire,
Lit by no skill of mine.

HOME AFFECTIONS.

The heart has memories that never die. The
rough rubs of the world cannot obliterae them
They are memories of home. There is magic in
The very sound. There is the old tree under which
the delighted boy swung many day yOnder the
river in which he learned to swim there the house
in which he knew parents love, and found pa
rents proleciion-aye, there is the room in which
he romped with brother or sister, long since, alas
laid in the yard in which he must soon be gathered
overshadowed by yon old church, whittier with a
Joyous troop like HIMSELF he has often followed his
parents to worship with, and hear the good old man
who minisered at The altar. Why, even the very
school house, associated in youthful days with
thoughts of ferue and tasks, now comes to bring
pleasant remembrances Of many an occasion that
called forth some generous exhibitions of the noblest
ed to feel some of the best emotions There, per
chance, he first met the being who, by her love and
tenderness in after lfe has made a home for him
SELF happier even than that which his childhood
knew.-There are certain feelings of humanity
and those TOO, among the best that can find an a
proprate place for their exercise only by ones own
freside. There in the privacy of that which il
were species of desecration to violate He who
seeks wanlonly TO invade is, neither more nor less
than william, and hence there exists no surer tes
of the debascment of morals in community, thar
the disposition TO tolerate in any mode the man who
nvades the abode of private life. In the turmoil
the world let there be at least spot where the
poor man can find affection that is DISTINGUISHED
where he may indulge confidence which is no
likely to be abused.-Dr. HnckerS.

A GREEK FUNERAL.

creek maiden, snached suddenly from earth. when
her young heart was light as her face was fair

gay dress she had never worn but for some preat
iete or gala as though this, more than any, were q
day OF rejoicing for her and thus attired with her
long hair spread out over her still BOSOM all deck
cd with flowers, they laid her uncoffiued in the
grave. At her feet they placed small flask of
wine and a basket of corn, in accordance with ar
ancient Greek superstition, which supposes that for
three days and nights tine disembodied spirit fingers
mourniully round its tenement of CLAW. the garment
OF Its mortality, wherein, as n pilgrim and stran-
ger ON the earth, it lived and loved il sinned and
suffered. AS soon as the first symptoms of decay

A G. RICUL u r A l..
CARE OF SHEEP.

"Prac,ical Farmer" writing to the German
town Telegraph, gives the following practical di
rections for the care Of sheep:
can opinion prevails i'm some sections that sheer
require no water during winter, and that they ac-
iually do better without than with it. This, how
ever, is great mistake, and one that not unfre-
quently gives rise to serious losses When permit
ted sheep, though they are capable from their pc
culiar structure and habits of subsistng longer
time probably without water than any other domes-
tic animal, will drink from four to eight times a
day, and with evident advantage, particularly du-
ring winter, when they necessarily restricted TO
dry and indiges,ible food, which naturally engen-
ders thirst. and requires much drink to render the
economy of digestion and assimilation sufficiently
rapid and perfect to insure continuance OF thrtt
and health. When practicable, there should al
ways be watering trough in the shed or yard, to
which the animals all times have free access,
without mingling with cattle or larger stock, al
they are liable be injured by the latter, especial
ly when with young. When there is pump in
the yard, as there always should be-the trouble
attending such an arrangement, is comparatively
Slight, even where the sheep and cattle yards are,
as they ought to be, distinct From twenty five to
thirty sheep are many can be well kept IN
one enclosure. When the number exceeds this,
unless special care be had 10 secure the most per-
feet ventilation, the animals liable TO contract
diseases. and never do SD well as when confined in
smaller fiocks. On taking sheep from the pastIiress
in autumn the sudden change from green to dry
food, often operates detrimentally, which is sufi
GENTLY evnced by the loss of appetite and conse-
quent emaciation evinccd, and which is often at
tributed enormously, TO disease. As soon as they
are taken from the ranges, couple of messes Of
potatoes should be given them daily for week or
so, gradually lesseniug the quantity they become
accustomed 10, and acquire relish for other food.
BY adopting this plan, and allowing them liberal
supply of salt and water, their vigor will remain
unlmpaired, and the change rendered unavoidable
by circumstances will be productive Of no unpleas
ant results.''

ADVANTAGE OF HAbiT.-Bulwer worked his

rldicule His facility is only the result of practice
and study lie wrote at first very slowly and with
great difficulty, but he resotUed master the stub

has practlsed writing art, and has re- written

over Another habit will show the advantage OF
continuous application. He only works about three
hours day-from ten in the morning till one-sel-

the chief causes why vegetables of certain kinds.

WHAT IT is TO BE PoLITE.--Poliiencss is a trait

its possessor charm that does much TO pave tie
way of life with success. But it is very much

of those around you in the readiness TO sacrifice
your own ease and comfort to the enjoyment of 9th
ers. The MAJ who lays aside all sefsness in re-
gard to the happiness of others, who is ever ready
to confer favors, who speaks in the language of
kindness and Cancellation, and who studies TO mani
fest those little attentions which crafty the heart
is polite man, though he may wear homespun
coat, and make very uugraccful bow. And many
fashionable, who dresses genteelly, and enters the
most crowded apartments with assurance and case,
Isl perfect compound of rudcness and cvity. He
who has heart flowing with kindness and good
will towards his fellow men. and who is guided in
the exercise of these feelings by good common sense
is the truly polite mainland ne alone.
