In the life Of John navel, renowned dissent.
ing preacher Of England, il Is said s'one ofthose
omens, which are supposed to announce future
eminence, accompanied his birth A pair Of night.
ngales made their nest on the window Of the
chamber Of his mother, and with their delicious
notes sang the birth II him whose tongue sweetly
proclaimed the glad tidings which gave aongs ia
the night" A
cannot assert that the oratorical distinction OF
John @. Burris was preceded by any such incl
dent, but II has seldom been my fortune to hear Il
more melifuous and scdative speaker. Ii, yery
early life, student In Washington city, heard
the famous Summerfield, a young Methodist i,ine-
rant. His face and form were OF womal.ly almost
angelic beauty. divine lustre beamed from bj.,
eyes. His clear, full, sonorous voice f.ll ike the
tones OF mountain bell one moment and amor
came crashing, laundering down. with terrible d,
feet on the startled masses, forcing them 10 CIV
aloud and crowd together, with uplifted arms, al
though for shelter from an impending avalanche
His eoquence shook sin from Ia citades and
dragged vice and fashion from their pride of
place" The sensation he produced was tremen
dona. Multitudes followed his footsteps. AL
field preacher he lowered alongside of Whitfield:
but he soon went down to the grave, consumed Nv
his own fire, and called to q higher sphere for
some inscrntable purpose.
1t is related Of Bossuet, that when he prc.
nounced the funeral sermon OF the Princess Hem
rietta, and described her dying agonies, the whole
audience arose from their Seats with terror in every
countenance.
When Massilon ascended the pulpit, on the
death Of Louis XIV, he contemplated for mo-
ment tho impressive spectacle--the chapel draped
IN black--the magnificent mausoleuin raised over
the bier--the dim but vast apartment filled with
the trophies OF the glory Of the monarch and with
the most ilustrious persons In the kingdom. He
looked down on the gorgeous scene beneath. then
raised his arms to heaven and said, In a solemn.
Mbdued tone, " Mes feres Dirm seul est 0ra,td +,
= God only is great With one impulse, all the
audience arose, turned to the altar, and reyerenty
bowed.
When DR.. Hussey preached az Waterford on
the small number Of the elect, he asked whether.
II the arch Of Heaven were to open, and the Son
OF Man should appear to judge his hearers it were
quite certain that three--that two--nay. trenl-
bling for myself as well as for you, Is il certain
that one OF US" he exclaimed In voice of thun-
der, " would be saved?" During the whole Of this
apostrophe, the audience was agonized. At the
ultimate interrogation, there was general shrek
and some fell to the ground.
NJ. Brioaine, French missionary. and the peer
OF the most renowned orators Of that eloquent ma
ton, preached sermon at Bagnole. AT the end
OF i he lifted up his arms and thrice cried In loud
voice, 0 Eternity At the third repetition OF this
awful cry, the whole party fell on their knees.
During three days, consternation peryaded the
town. In the public places, young and old were
heard crying aloud, Mercy Oh lord, Mercy

in our opinion one Of the best ald M
are inclined 10 believe the most resume

after once started in the business, pro-
duce an article Of mutton equal Is the
celebrated South Down Of England.
There is no fear Of the wool market
being over stocked, the demand for the
raw materials continually increasing,
and every farmer can sell his clip at his
door. The moment we beginto raise
sheep, purchasers will come in for the
wool, as it is well known that wool rais-
ed in this Latitude always brings aapre-
MUM over that in latitudes South ofsus.
We are pleased to learn that flock
numbering some fifteen hundred head Of
good healthy sheep have lately arsiyed
IN the vicinity Of ST. Paul, and the own-
ers are disposing of them at three dol
lars per head, with the privilege Of the
purchaser picking from the flock. Here
is certainly an inducement to those who
wish to embark ia the business. and it
is our humble opinion that if oQrfarpers
would raise more stock and less weeds,
it will be far more to their interest. 1t
may be allyery fine TO be able 10 say to
the stranger, e have hundreds Of acres
under cultivation, = but in the long run
it will prove anything but profitable.
Stock raising IS the business best adapt
ed to our soil and climate. We would
not wish to Be understood as advocating
the total abandonment Of cultivating the
soil but to induce farmers to put the
greater portion Of their capital Into
stock rather than raising Of crops. 3
We design devoting more space here
after to the subject Of Stock, and will
give, next week, an an article from an
old number Of the Tacl Grososr, which
contains some very sensible remarks

We are frequently asked why the far
mears Of the Upper Mississippi do not
pay more attention 70 this most impor-
tant branch Of hasbandry we cannot
answer the question otherwise than BY
replying that they % not know what i

say, are afraid Of wolves yet you will
pillow your ground year after year, SOW ~

fears Of the weeds, when at the har-
vest 5smany are under the necessity ~
