wuter.ng sheep ln winter.

That sheep can do with less water than
other domestic animals is we'll known.-
That they should be forced to do with a
less quantity than they desire, or compelled
to do without any except what is acciden-
tally supplied by melting snow or rain, no
reasonable or merciful man can believe for
one moment. In some experiments on
South Down sheep, al Rothamstead, we
found that in the summer months each
sheep ate three pounds of clover-hay. and
drank about six pounds of water daily
Thinking that they drank more than was
favorable for the deposition of fat. we con-
fined them TO less quantity OF water for
one week. The result was that during
that time they ale less food and lost weight.
This result satisfied us that sheep knew
better than man, though he were scientific,
how much water they required: r. ed
But we need not quote experiments
The common sense of every man tells him
that sheep, as well as all other animelS,
should be abundanIly supplied with good,
fresh water. Cows and sheep, # possible,
should have free access to il at all times.
For, unlike the horse. they will not always
drink at stated times, however regularly
observed. A well. pump and troughs
would seem, therefore, 10 be necessary APP
pendages To every well-managed bara-ya
or sheepsfold. Kind reader, act on this
matter, and your sheep and cows will bless
you, IL not in words, at least in wool, milk
and profit - GcNesSce Former.

a Hard case.

The Cleveland "Plain Dealer says:
We witnessed the other day a scene
which, God grant, Our eyes may never see
again. 4 young man was sentenced TO
the Penitentiafy for one of those acciden-
tai crimes which often arises in the heat
OF passion, for instance, when nuder severe
provocation a man loses his temper and
strikes a harder blow in self-defense, per-
haps, than lie was aware OF, and man
slaughter. according to the law. Is made
the crime. He appeared perfectly willing
to suffer the penalty which the law i'm
rosed, and which WAS the Penitentlary for
a term of years, but 1t so happened that
he was not the only one TO suffer from such
penalty. He had young wife. and ne
was s.all the world to her." They had,
too, a Young child, darling little by
three Years old When he came 10 bid
them Fl nal farewell, as he with other
criminals were about to step aboard OF the
cars in charge of officers, on their way TO
Columbus, it was enough to reHd the heart
strings Of the strongest mind TO witness
the struggle of force and affection be-
tween the parties. He kissed his wife
with apparently little emotion, evidently
using all his fortitude for that occasion,
but when his little boy WAS brought to him
with arms extended for his wonted EN-
brace, he found his father's feet fastened
together with irons and his hands mana
cled behind him so that he could neither
helm himself or take to his arms his only
child. This brought the water 10 his eyes
which up to this time had been swelling
up in his heart, and the tears rolled down
his hardy cheeks in a perfect flood. One
such scene haunts us for ~ lifetime.--

To kindle intellectual fires.
In our loved land her court is holden,
Accessible to high and low;
Her reign is happy. free and golden,
And highest nonors will bestow.
The loftiest intelects are bending
Before her pure aud hallowed shrine,
And brilliant scint1llations sending
To lgnorance's remotest line.
She shall exalt our happy nation
High IN the scale of moral worth,
And gild the halls of legislation
The gay saloon and lonely hearth.

On knowledges everlasting keep!
Her fertile vine is eyer growing

And love thee and thy sis. er Art.

REMARKABLE MARRIAGE.-The Diaro of Mad

rid relates the following romantic story:
A few years ago, an English nobleman, a
grandee of the first water and an eccentrician of
the widest school. honored New York with his
presence and his money.
He lived strictly incognito, and his sole amuse-
ment consisted in wandering in the streets after
nightfall and in relieving those of his fellow
creatures who had experienced the pains of pow
erty or the penalties of dissipation.
While upon one of these humane excursions,
he encountered female who tenderly solicited
aims.
Inquiring, he found her to be an orphan of sur
passing beauty; with an intelligent mind and of
excellent education, reduced to abect destitution
from the death of her father, shot in the Mexican
war.
The titled Howard, wearied at his bachelors
existence, and won. by the romance of the beg
gars hist~.y rendered to her his heart, his coro-
net. and his hand. The sequel, according to the
Diaro, is that at recent ball given by the Rus
sian Emperor, duchess, radiant with beauty
and sparkling with diamonds, won the hearts of
a.. observers.
The distinguished lady was the ci-devaat men.

FROM ROME.
The Pope going to make Concessions.''

correspondence of the New Yo4k Times
ROME aug list, 16.-It is believed that the
French garrison here is to be renewed, and two
regiments are expected from Civita Veehia The
heat is excessive; many French soldiers are i'll in
conseq: :.ence. Yesterday evening the entire city
was illuminated in honor of the Festival of the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. The streets
were patrolled by French infantry and Roman
Gendarmes. The Government has reinforced the
garrison with 100 Gendarmes recruited in the
suburbs. This precaution was adopted in con-
sequence of rumor that demonstration would
be made and reforms demanded. The agitators
had circulated report that on the 18th of August
the Pope would publish proHTto motm announc-
ing certain reforms; but all was dieam-the
proprio msotu did not appear, and the consequence
was that, on the one hand, the illusion was dis
PEELED, and on the other much anger was excited.
An announcement that difficulties have, ,arisen at
Zurich, and that the armistice has been prolonged
filled she Liberal party with joy, and has re-
vived heir hopes of seeing the war for Ealian in
dependence renewed There appears to be no
return of the Duke de Gramont from Paris AS
yet all is obscure; we only know that reforms
will be carried out, but of what nature it is i'm
possible to say.

And one man i'll his arms could have borne

But know that darling hopes were hid
Beneath that tiny coffin lid.

With folded hands by that form of clay
I knew that burning tears were hid,

And knew her lip, and cheek and brow,
Were almost white as her babys, now.
I knew that some things were hid aN ",
The crimson frock, and wrappings gay:
The little sock and half worn shoe,
The zap with it plumes and tassels blue;
And an empty crib with is covers spread,
AS white as the face of the sinless dead
