Spring.

The cold has gone from the sunny hooks,
The frost is no more in the glen;
And the pleasant sound of the running brooks
Makes glad the heart of men.
The snow-bird leaves for his northern haunt,
The swallow has sought the caves,
And the trees that stood so bare and gaunt,
Now 1utteI their opening leaves.
From crowns of green on the woodland heights,
To the sweets of the sheltered plain,-
The earth is thrilled with new delights,
That Danish the winter-pain.
0, dear is the song of the happy bird
That sings at my chamber door!
But dearer song my ears have heard,
Which they will hear no more,
There's a season for gladness, in the grove,
And time when the birds sing clear;
But the heart that loses its early love
Keeps winter all the year.

RoMANTIc LOVE ScENE.-'Tis pas,
the hour of midnight. The golden
god Of day, who yesterday drove his
emblazoned chariot through the heav.
ems, has ceased shining on the earth,
and black pail reigns over the lower
section of our city. Nothing is heard
save the distant step of the melancholy
bill poster as he pursues his home W ard
way. Suddenly a sound breaks the
stillness-it is the voice of Frederick
William calling in plaintive tones upon
his beloved Florence Amelia.
"Throw open the lattice love, and
look down upon the easement, for /,
your dear Frederick am here"
What brings thee at this time of
the night, when all is still and gloomy?'
:" / come to offer thee my heart; upon
my soul l love thee--truly, wildly,
passionately love thee. Dost thou re-
ciprocate ?'' 49,
The maiden blushed as she hesitated
/" Ah," cried he, and the face of our
hero lit up with sardonic smile, ''thou
lowest another" i.8o tis-i
"No! no no!' cried Florence. +
" Then why not rush to this bosom
that is bursting to receive thee 2'''

/, To keep flock good, it IS better to change
the buck eve y yer; and then you ara sure
that the buck never goes to any Of his own
lambs Great care should also be tsken tina,
ewes are turned off before they ct too old
The lanbs from very old eve are not so

the teeth begin to fail, and they eventually
become worthless The best plan for turning
off sheep proitably is to sell 10 lambs or
young, unless for defect in size or in quality
Of wool; but after three years old have tho
wethers of that age all taken out and fed
through the winter, and pus n cocditi IN for

of wool. and at that season Of the year bring
high prices.
In every branch Of agriculture. care and
economy are the. great elements of succe. s..
As matter Of great economy, both in labor
and material for feeding, proper lot should
DO prepared and reserved for winter use,
without feeding or moving in summer. either
Of blue. grass or Of timothy and clover, which
will afford very thick growth at the bottom,
and this will readily be consumed by sheep,
a. also by colts and other stock. A small
amount of land in this way will aft 'rd q
great amount of the best kind Of keeping, and
with little expense; and especially he,e in
this climate, where we have so little snow. A
little corn daily, (say one gill to sheep,)
makes this perfect success. There is more
or les, waste land on every farm in Iowa, such
as deep ravines and side hills too steep for
cultivation. and brush patches, which, If
cleared and worked into grass for this pur.
pose, would afford large amount Of good
feed, aad would be very useful for other
stock as we'll as sheep.
Another pnirt which l will notice, and
then will close. Sheep (thas is, the same
flock) should not be kept on the same farm
or range until they begin to dcpreciate and
run OFT" rs it is called. After all possible
care in putting out small and defective lambs
and old sheep, flock kept ri hit along on the
same place will deprecirte; when if changed
to new range they will become thrifty

One great reason why we should encourage
the raising Of sheep and afford them pro.
