A Sheep Story.

The editor of the C9eceland Herald is re-
sponsible for the following, which we com
mend to the particular attention OF farmers
and breeders -
Among beasts there is a language, one,
too, that speaks, though in silence, with
!" most miraculous organ" one though
3" dumb to me" in its expression, yet in &C
ton most expressing, however wonderful
and mysterious. Actions do, indeed,
speak louder than words,'' and never fail
TO call forth our admiration or cen:ure.
while preaching without practice" never
fails to draw out our contempt.
On a visit to the country, recently, while
sojourning on the farm of a friend, we had
occasion to witness the language Of dumb
animals, carried by themselves into action.
Strolling down to a field boarded around
with a fence, and wherein we're confined Il
flock of sheep, we stood gazing upon them
for some moments, when suddenly we per-
ceived one of the sheep approach the fence,
and walk clear round it, it beng a square
enclosure, and having found what he sought
returned to the flock who stood in the md
die of the field watching him, and who i'm
mediately formed a circle, their heads all
turned To the centre. and held, as it appear
ed to us, a consultation, which after a few
moments ended by the sheep who had taken
1.-The rounds" before. approaching that part
of the fence, which he had left last, and
which we now observed was lower and ca.
sier to climb than any other part, and here
stopping, fixed himself head up to the fence,
and awaited the approach of the rest whWl
ha followed him, aud who, one after a1g
other. now mounted his back and leaped
the fence, till the whole flock had reached
the outside, when he, by a sudden spring
and then a scramble. also gained the outside,
will, them. However singular this may
seem, it is nevertheless true, and we
thought it writ down in our duty" to speak
of 1t, as we lave never before seen anything
Of The kind. The farmer had told us in the
morning, that his sheep had managed Ia
get out of their pen, and it being too high
for them to leap over, aud there beng nc
aperture large enough for them to get
through. it had heen a matter of wondor to
him how they did it.

DEFINITION OF DoGMATIsM.--" Robert.
my dear" said Jenny, with the deferen1ial
air of a scholar, Robert, what did Mr.
Calryway mean when he said he hated dog
-dogmat;sm?
Tops was puzzled.
Robert, my dear" Jenny urged. "whn
in the world is dogmatism?
Now it was the weakness of Tops nev
er TO confess ignorance of anything to his
wife. "a man should never do it,"
Tops had been known in cnnviviai
season, to say, at makes 'em conce,ed."
And Tops prepared himself, as was his
wont, to make a solemn, aud satisfying an
swer.
Taking off his hat, and smoothing the
wrinkles of his brow, Tops SAID,
"Humph' what is dogmatisml 1t is
this, of course-dngmatism is pappyism
come to full growth."

PROGRESSIvE REFORMATION.


SWell, husband, well, l must confess
From bad to worse you're getting,
And it you stop not soon, guess
You'll have a hard upsetiing.
Six glasses full Of sinking stuff,
To-day I saw you swallow,
A dose in conscience large enough,
To make the cholera follow.
Now husband, dear. resolve to-day,
For sure a storm is brewing;
90 dash the fatal cup away,
Or you will 60 to ruia,
Go down the street, and 81 gn the pledge,
And keep il the letter,
And l, your trusty wife, aliedge
You'll feel a vast deal better"
"a sudden change, the doctors say,
Will sometimes bring disaster,
And wear our waning lives away,
Dear wife, a great deal faster.
In Difference to my better half,
1t is my firm impression,
TITS better far, though some may laugh,
To leave off by progression"
Thus matters stood day in and OUT,
If rightly I remember,
Till one cold day in or about
The middle of December,
When coming from the store, as WELL,
When out he surely ought to,
He stumbled in the dark and fell
Into q well of water.
"Help! help! ~ cried Fudge, with lungs initiate.
"What shall | do, old woman?
Msthinks my life will terminate,
As sure as Pm a true man.
If you will help me from this cline,
This water deep ami freezing,
I'll serve you all my coming ,ime,-
Just hear how l am sneezing."
"Lay hold this rope, my erring man,
Against you ere the chances,
But still iil fetch you if | can
Bless me the rope advances!
She tugged, that woman tugged, for life,
That rope Will they not break II?
He's almost out now, thinks the wife,
guess, old chap, you'll take it.
She Stacked her hand, down went her lord,
Hark W hat a Iorrid splashing!
For half a year up n my word,
He'll need no further washing!
Cried Fudge, in low and plaintive tones,
con purpose did you do it
The fall has broken half my bones,
'Tisstrange, l don't see through it,"
"Unsafe is every sudden change,
BY your unasked confession,
60 think it not so very strange,
save you by progression,
"W life, wife " said Fudge, cit is not best,
was R little rummy,
Pull quick and long, and let me out,
ORce more on terra fIma.
And I will sign the temperance pledge,
And keep tito the letter,
And feel, and smell, as you alledge,
Sixteen degrees the better"
Then down the well these words she east,
"Ny project has succeeded,
Pm glad, dear sir, you've got at last,
The argument you needed.
So grasp the rope in your distress,
II is your last salvation,
And if kind Providence should bless,
Isoon will raise your station"
Fudge seized the rope with heartfelt glee,-
At times he was no dow man,
And found himself, upright and free,
Beside his trusty woman.
~ Ned his clothes and wiped his face,
