The following, from the pen OF tho great
American philosopher, DIR. Franklin, should
be printed in letters Of gold. and hsng up in
every school room, side by si.ie with the usual
ABB, ED, dog latin, and other nonsense with
which our children's minds are crammod, and
which seems to be the rule in our modern
system Of tuition. There will come time
when Professorship Of Political Economy
will be considered an absolute necessity to
every school. Blu. that time is not yet. But
hear what poor Richard says:
l. Piow deep while sluggards sleep, aud
you shall have corn to sell and keep.
2. Pride is as loud beggar as Want, and
agreat deal more saucy.
3. Silks and Saline, scarlets and velvets,
put out the kitchen FIRE.
4. Diligence il the mother OF good luck.
5. Pride breakfasted with Plenty, dined
with Poverty, and supped with Infamy.
6. Extravaganza and improvidencc end at
the prison door.
7. 1t is easier to build two chimneys than
to keep one in fuel.
5. Ii you would know the value of money,
60 and try to borrow some.
8. The eye of master will do more work
than both his hands.
10. What maintains one vice would bring
up two children.
IL. He that goes borrowing returns sor-
rowing.
II. Rather 60 to bed supperless than rise
in debt.
ID. Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than
labor wears.
IL. A life Of leisure and life of laziness
are two different things.
Is. Three removes are as bad as fire.
Is. Creditors have better memories than
debtors.
IL. The rolling stone gathers no moss.
IL. II you would have your business done,
go; if not, send.
10. 1t is foolish to lay ont money in the
purchase OF repentance.
20. Buy what thou needest not, and it will
oblige thee to sell thy neoessaries.

MIR. Vim. Tucker Of Chickassw Co., pur-
chased 700 sheep two years sinoe, and dis
tributed 500 among farmess in aocks Of Is
or 70 each, on condition Of receiving one
hall the wool and the return OF the old flock,
and one-half the increase at the end OF two
years The result has been that not one
tenth Of the sheep have been lost, notwith-
standing they have been exposed to all usual
casualties, and some of them want of pro.
per care. He has received for his share OF
the wool one and half pounds per head.
The increase at the end of two years, is equal
to one-half the original number. The wool,
after paying the cost of transportation to
market, was sold for IS cents pound, yield
ing a return Of over so cents per head an
nually.
The breed is half Merino, and the length
and quality of the woel, as we'll as the health
of the sheep, indicate that the circumstance
of pasturage and climate are very favorable.
The wool product in this case proves that
capital invested in sheep, even on that plan,
is not only safe, but will yield on the wool
alone profit of IS to 80 per cent. per an
mum the sheep having cost from one dol
lar and n half to two dollars piece. AT
the end of two years the original flock, or its
equivalent, will be worth the same price, and
the increase is clear gain. There is, there
fore, on increase os about 25 per cent. per
annum Of the capital invested, besides the
fifty cents head for the wool, making over
twenty-hv per cent. from that source. Hence
fifty per cent u year is the reasonable expec-
tation Of profit from such an investment.
1t might seem surprising that sheep could
be let out on terms apparently 80 unfavor-
ably to the party taking them, but so sue.
cessful we're the men who received the sheep
from Mr.. Tucker on these terms, that nearly
every man wished to take more in the same
manner, and 90 scarce are sheep in Northern
Iowa, that MIR. Tucker could have let out
several thousand this Season on those terms
This case il but one out Of number, aud
fairly goes to show that this branch OF stock
growing will before long command large
share of attention among our farmers
There is at this time great demand in Iowa
for sheep, circumstance highly encourag-
ing, rs after their introduction the manufao-
ture here OF WOODEN goods is sure to follow.
Iowa should become manufacturing State
to such an extent, ut least, us to convert inso
goods the raw material produced within her
borders. First in the list is that of wool, if
so converted through the agency Of our own
capital and labor, would directly benefit our
people, enable them to save no small portion
OF the money sent abroad for such goods,
and greatly add to the independence and
wealth Of the State.

church
from the N. Y. Herald .

From the N. Y. Herald
On last Sunday afternoon there was IN i'm
mense gathering in the vicinity of St. Johns
church, Roman Catholic, in Fiftieth street.
The assemblage was chiefly composed Of the
members OF the above named church, who
met to hear an address from the Rev. MIR.
Daymop, in vindication of himself on the
subject Of his suspension by Archbishop
Hughes. 1t appears from the facts in the
case that the reverend gentleman, in q dis
course to his congregation prior to his sus-
pension, made use of the expression that
shell was paved with the skulls Of bad
PRIESTS" for which, coupled with the fact
that the reverend gentleman Is rather too
enthusiastic in his style Of preaching, caused
the Archbshopto order his suspension. Rev.
Mr.. Dsymon 10 proselyte from Protetest-
ism, and 10 a brother of Capt. Daymon, Of
the British war steamer Gorgon, Of Atlantic
Gable fame. He declares his intention Of
building n church at his own expense, and
the congregation have declared their inten-
ton to follow their pastor.

shot in this place, on Friday Of last week,
by the brother Of her husband, while toying
with the lock Of his rifle. The gun was sup
posed to be empty, and he was swapping caps
upon it, when it was discharged, the bullet
striking the woman while in STOPPING pos
ture, passing through one side Of her face,
enaering her chest at the collar-bone, which
i shattered, and coming out at her back
She is still alive, but in very critical con-
dition. Snch examples, and occurring 80
frequently, ought to be crying lesson against
the useless, negligent and wanton practice
of foolng with tire-arms.--[Bureau Co. Ro.
