Bells on Sheep.

Bells worn by sheep, may and doubtless
do, to some extent, prevent dogs from at
lacking them.
place bells on my sheep, not so much
with the expectation Of lettering the dogs,
as with the hope Gf they should be attacked
that some one on the farm, some neighbor
or passer by, will be attracted by the noise of
the bells, and 90 to the relief Of the sheep.
And for that purpose, put on each flock
of sheep ten or twelve bells, known in the
New York market as Oregon COW bells,
Nos. 80 and SO, the sizes next to the largest
size COW bells.
I use a few No. cast bells, to produce
variety of sound, but rely mainly on the
Oregon bell. The heavy, dull sound of the
wrought bell, can be heard much farther
than the sharp shrill tone of the cast bell.
A flock of sheep carrying ten or twelve
large bells, suddenly aroused by dogs at
night, will give a wild cry Of alarm, rivalling
the fire bells of city. [ would prefer
bells that could be heard mile; such bells
may answer two purposes-they may alarm
the dogs attacking the sheep, ana II not the
dogs, the owner or some enemy to sheep
killing ours.
Small cast bells consider entirely worth
less. In windy day, they cannot be heard
two rods from the sheep, and not far at any
time. The useful bell is a large wrought
one, with a dull heavy sound. 1t should
be well strapped, and properly adjusted to
the neck of the sheep; if hung too loose,
it will make but little noise, and impede the
motion of the sheep. Neither should it be
buckled too tight. A strap Is to 20 inches
long, Il to inches wide, with a buckle and
keeper of the same width sewed to one end
of it, will b found very convenient fasten-
ing.
l cannot see that the weight of bell
makes any difference in the condition Of the
sheep; those carrying bells thrive quite as
well as those that do not, and if it was not
so it would be better to supply the eve
flock with few wethers for the bells, or
that few ewes should be worn out carry
inc them, rather than have the flock run
and partially killed by dogs. A flock badly
torn, or scared by dogs seldom thrives or
does well after.

Church Music.

The Rev. E. n. Sawtell an American
clergyman, now in Europe, and a cores
pondent Of the Christian Observer, in a re-
cent letter to that paper says:
"Before closing intended to have made
some allusion to church music, which, l
greatly fear in some parts OF our country
is rapidly degenerating from the pure SIM
pIcity of Christian Notwithstanding with
grace in their hearts unto the Lord, into
the mere love Of artistic, not to say theatre
cal performances. Many seem to have i'm
bibed the idea that an organ, instead of
becoming an assistant, becomes a substitute
for congregational singing, stopping every
mouth and absolying every obligation to
participate in this delightful part ofworship,
save the few chosen and paid ones, who
Autter beneath the shadow of the great
orpan. and scream out their music in parcels
like so many young hawks holding jubilee
over brood of chickens. Now this ought
not to be so. We cannot worship God by
proxy-nor can we be guiltless before him
five suffer our beautiful Protestant temples,
built for the pure, simple, spiritual worship
of God, to become thus prostituted and
Romanized into the mere heartless exhibit
bition of a dramatic performance. Better,
better by far, that organ be converted
into a bonfire than that such should be the
results; but such need not bean organ
NAV be made an assistant without becoming
a substitute.
"The most soul-stirring music have
heard in Europe was in the Surrey Chapel,
in London, where the great Rowland Hill
taught his people to sing as well as to pray.
There they have an organ simply as an as
sistant to the congregation, and at the very
first peal of that instrument the three thou
sand auditors rise to their feet at once,
minister and all, and pour forth such strains
of melody that the organ Is scarcely heard;
and they sing, too, with such wiling minds,
such a cheerful look and manner, such open
mouths, and heads erect, as if their very
souls we're so full of love and praise to God
that they could not help it-they must sing,
ORGAN or no organ, and with the spirit and
understanding, too, though the roof of the
buildinr be lifted from its walls. Now the
soul of the minister that has participated in
such singing as that must be dead indeed
if it be not moved and stirred within him.
All, but he is moved, he does feel-such
singing is like an electric spark, a live coal
from off Gods altar-it touches the lips
and the heart of the speaker; and, when he
arises to address such a congregation, he
knows full well, from what his eyes have
seen, his ears have heard, and his own heart
has felt, that he is to address living, ami
mate beings, and not collection of cold
m,rble statues, which ike the prophets
dumb dogs, could neither bark nor sing.
Now is it not a melancholy fact that in
many Of our fashionable city congregations

From the Christian Observer.
Blessed are the Peace-Makers.

Blessed words, from a blessed teacher,
and if blessing rests upon the ''peace-
Makers" surely the opposite may be as
signed as a due reward to peace-breakers.
Who are they?
1st. They are those in our churches who
are continually finding fault with their pas
tors, because they think that he is not
attentive enough to them. They seem to
forget that part of the church covenant,
which relates to their seeking the peace and
ediGcation of the church to which they be-
lone. Said Mrs. d. to Mrs. F., 81 do think
it is a great shame, the way our minister
treats us! Here the children have been
sick whole week, and neither he nor his
wife, have been to see us. I'll engage if
it had been Mrs G's. or Mrs. Ms children,
he would have been there before this"
Mrs. F. "Bu. does he know that they are
sick?"
Mrs. D. 'Why he ought to know, and
besides, he passed by here yesterday in
company with gentleman"
Mrs. f. 'But was the doctors carriage at
the door, so that he could see that some
one was sick?''
Mrs. D. ''No! but he mighthaye stopped
and inquired"
Mrs. f. "But he may have had urgent
business with that gentleman. Why did
not you let him knSw that the children were
sick? That is the way l do, and he likes
to have his people do so. Did you ever try
this plan?"
Mrs. D. "Why, no that would seem as
though we thought some one of them were
dying. and he might think so too"
''lIrs. +. Suppose he did, what harm
would that do, it would not alter the case,
and it is a great comfort to me when any of
the family are sick to have our dear pastor
come and offer prayer for us. always
send for him.
Mrs. D. ''Well, 1 can't do that"
Mrs. F." ''Then why complaint You
know that our pastor visits his people at
least three times yearregularly, and then
in sickness, or other affection much oftener,
and you know James says, sis any sick
among you, let him call for the elders of
the church and let them pray over them,"
&c. Now how are the elders or pastor
either to know unless they are called for
1t is not doing our pastor justice to treat
him so /! You remind me of Mrs. Cleveland,
whose daughter Ida was i'll so long of pull
monary disease, and when Mr.. Camberwen,
tour pastor,) or any of the elders would
visit her, she would always say she was well,
she was hattered with the idea, that she
would soon be well; instead of conyersing
about her approaching dissolution, she
talked of anything else, and though a
member of the church, her pastor could not
approach the subject of death, as he wished,
and felt it to be his duty. But, (mark the
point,) when he attended her funeral, and
made a very appropriate address, they
thought hard, and felt hurt that he said so
little of her high religious experience, her
her peace, her JOY, and all that.
How could he?"
Mrs. D. ''You. are right, and l will try
not find any more fault. The truth is, was
weary, and felt as though l should like to
see him."
Mrs. F. "Then send for him tomorrow"
Mrs. D. 81 will" A. r. B.
