Thrift of the Yankee.

In perfectly good humor the Tuscaloosa
Monitor of the 18th ult., has given the fol-
lowing pungent and inimitable sketch:
"Tbe mountain of granite appears rath-
err tough subject to deal with, yet Yam
kee will burrow in its bowels, and 10 the
granite becomes gold in the vault Of the
Commonwealth Bank, in Boston. A pond
of ice presents chilly prospect to the eye,
but the Yankee, nothing dauntcd, will
heave up its crystal masses, and straightway
the ice glitters in diamonds upon the bosom
of his rosy checked spouse. Wherever the
Yankee layeth down his hand, gold spring.
eth Into whatever soil soever he thrusteth
his spade, gold springeth therefrom. In the
dim twilight, by his chimney corner, he
stitch meditating, and thoughts chase one
another through his brain, hich thoughts
are gold. Various they are, it may be, in
form and seeming. One is but a gridiron,
another baby jumper, and third steam
engine, but he writeth them all down in the
patent office at Washington and then put
teth them in his pocket in good golden ca
giles from the mint at Philadelphia.
But your genuine Yankee coineth not
merely his own sagacious conceits; the fol-
lies, the fears, and the errors of others, are
moreover all gold to him. He fabricateth
mermaids and sea-serpents, and locketh up
in his iron chest heaps of golden credulty.
He manufactured pill of chalk and wheat
en- bread, which he warranteth to cure asth-
ma, bydrocephalus, epilepsy and yellow fe-
yer, and presently buildeth himself great
house on the banks of the Hudson. When
sudden delirium siezeth all the world
prompting them to emigrate in floods no
where, he quietly mustereth his fleets Of
transport for that destination, or buildeth a
railroad in that direction, regardless of what
is at the other end, and putteth the passage
money in his pocket. He erecteth to HIM
self no castles in the air, but he diligently
aideth his neghbor to do the same, and ou
of the proceeds grow up to him castles up
on the earth. Such is the modern Midas
the Midas without long ears--the cool
acute, sagacous, calculating Yankee"

How to Catch Sheep.

In catching sheep, never seize them by
the wool on the back, as it hurts them en-
ceedingly, and has, in some cases, been
known to kill them; particularly in hot
weather, if they are large and fat. Indeed,
the best way is to avoid the wool altogcth-
er, and to accustom yourself to take them
by the hind leg, or what is still better, by
the neck, placing one hand under the Jaws,
and the other at the back of the ears by
lifting up the head, a child may hold almost
any sheep. In Maryland, and South of it,
sheep are rarely approached near enough
to touch or catch them, except as farmers
are themselves treated, in all countries, "a
like by tyrants and demagogues, when they
are to be sheared or slaughtered
When, for the first named purpose. sheep
are to be caught, in the region referred to,
they are huddled up in the corner of large
pen, as often as there are sheep in the flock;
each time frightened and worried, until the
shearer runs in and grabs by the wool the
first one he can catch. The residue of the
flock is then left until that one is Invested
of his wool, and small bits of his skin here
and there, and then turned loose, as the far.
mer is after the election, until the next
shearing time. When brought up to be
slaughtered, the only difference is, that the
sheep is attracted by the grain of salt, or
handful of corn, while the farmer is charmed
with the sound of the drum and fife, and
liberty and glory!
By kind and gentle usage, and occasional
sailing, man may have his sheep so tame
that he may play with them, as every man
that has a heart will sometimes do with his
dog. At any rate, the feeling and thought
full farmer will never suffer his sheep, or
any thing else under his guardianship, to
be unnecessarily terrified, or otherwise ill
treated.

This is what the patentee claimed when

On further inquiry of those who had il

ton indeed, tie saving of the clothing and
the economy in fuel (where drying closets

pubic establishments and private families

to meet the expense of purchasing these
machines; and they feel amply paid for the
outlay, by the saving they make in time, la
Dor and fuel.

RAILROAD FORMATION.
By JOHN M'DUFFEE, ESQ.

To Railroad Gentlemen every where:
IRs,-Will you listen TO the story of an
old Pioneer, who, more than SIXTY years a
90, traversed the wilderness of New Eng
land to find route for a water communi-
cation from the Atlantic ocean, through
New Hampshire and Vermont, to Canada
In 1918 | made communication to the
Governor of New Hampshire, that canal
could be opened from Portsmouth, through
Winnipssiogee Lake to Connecticut River
the first communication of the kind
made. The next year, through the Hon
Senator, Dan Young, and the Hon. Icha-
bod Bartlett, of Portsmouth, made the same
communication to the New Hampshire Lee
gislature. This august body pronounced
the scheme to be mere " moonshine," and
disposed Of it at once by entering the CON-
muncation upon their journals, there to re-
main and sleep.
In 1924, gave information respecting
the canal route to Gov. Woodbury.. He in
his message ofthat year laid the subject be-
fore the Legislature and called their atten-
ton to its importance. Upon this occasion,
the Legislature gave me grant for either
canal or railway, from Lake Winnipissio-
gee to the Connecticut River, as a compen-
sation for my services. This was the first
railroad charter granted in New England.

MARKING SHEEP.-An agriculturaist
says Iwish to impress it upon every one
who keeps flock, if not more than half
dozen, that Venetian red is the best thing
l ever saw to paint-mark sheep. 1t is, as
most all know, a cheap red paint, only
few cents pound, and one pound will mark
thousand. Take pinch Of dry powder,
and draw the thumb and finger through the
wool upon the particular spot you would
mark, loosing the powder at the same time,
and it will combine with the oil of the wool,
and make bright red mark, that rains will
never wash out, and which will endure from
one shearing to another, but does not injure
the wool. 1t is readily cleansed out by the
manufacturer.
SOLUBLE GLAss.-What is called soluble
glass is now beginning to come into use as
a covering for wood and for other practical
purposes. Some of our clever artisans may
like TO experiment upon it. 1t is composed
fifteen parts powdered quartz, ten OF potash,
and one of charcoal. These are melted to-
gether, worked in cold water, and then boil
ed with five parts Of water, in which it en-
trely disolves. 1t is then applied to wood
work, or any other required substance. As
it cool, it gelatinizes, and dries up. into a
transparent coloress glass, on any surface
to which it has been applied. 1t renders
wood nearly incombustible.-N. Y Post.

And oh how purely beautiful

The CLASSY waters glide,
And wakes 10 awful grandeur meath
The cataract's foaming tide;
'1is throned In dark, stern mujesty,
Where the tall mountain towers
Oh! there is beauty every where
In this bright world Of ours.

Aud in the smile of youth,
The impress. on the manly brow,
Wrought vita tho shide Of care,
That tells of high and noble thought,
How beautiful they arc
And life how much il sheds around,
To bless aud cheer us hero,
When stredgth and energy are found,
It's lesser ills to bear.
Although cloud may sometimes rise,
A shadow sometimes rest
Upon our earthly pathway, still
Ills beautiful and blest.
