Bashfulness in Youth.

Young people, on their first admission
TO this outer world. are especially atilict.
cd by false shame; so that it may be re.
carded as one of the moral diseases Of
the minds infancy. 1t is at the bottom
of o great deal Of shyness. They cam
not feel ut ease, because they miStrust
something about themselves or their be.
longiugs, and have that feeling Of bare.
ness aud exposure in the presence Of I'm.
familiar eyes which attaches to sensitive.
ness under the untried circumstances
Every thing then assumes a magnitied.
exaggerated character, the place they
occupy on the one hand, aud the i'm.
portance Of the occasion. on the othcr.-
The present company is the world, the
universe, a convention Of men and gods,
all forming q deliberate and irrcvcrsible
judgment upon them, and deciding to
their disadvantage on account Of some
oddness or awkwardneSs, or passing slip
in themselves or in the accessories about
them. But in most persons, time and
experience bring SO much humility as
teaches them their insigniicauce. 1t is
not, we soon learn, very likely that at amy
given time mixed assemblage is think
ing very much about US and then the
horror Of a conspicuous position loses its
main sting. This on the ono hand; on
tho other, VIC arc not as dependent on
the award of society as we were. Even
a room full comprises, to our enlarged
Imagination, by no means the whole
creation. There is something worth
caring for outside those walls. And also
we have comc to form sort of estimate
of ourselves. There is now a third
party in the question, in the shape Of
self.rcspect. We realize that We are to
ourselves Of unreasonable more conse.
ouence than any one else can be to us.
Thus either by reason or by tho natural
hardening and Strengthening process Of
tho outer air, most people overcome any
conspicuous display Of their weak ness.
BY the time youth is over, they have
either accepted their position: or set
about in business-like way to mend it,

Maxims for Sheep Farmers.

Sheep do better in small .Aocks than
in large ones. BY small Aocks we mean
FROM thirty to fifty; and even if a farmer
keeps this number, they should DO sep.
arated-,he lambs and decrepit sheep
being yardcd by themselves, that they
may receive extra care.
1t is better to keep sheep confined in
yards, at this season Of the year, than to
allow them to range at will. =
Separate yards should always be pro-
vidcd for sheep and cattle, when practi.
cable; but if not SO, they should, never
be turned into the yards together, as
accidents and loss often result there.
from.
All houses or sheds for sheep should
be properly ventilated and well lighted.
Attcu,iop, to the FIRST Of these is OF great
importance. 4 .. ; !;
Yards should be provided with pure
water, in order that the sheep may not
be compelled to seek it at distance
from the buildings, nor obliged to eat
snow to obtain moisture: They will eat
snow if they cannot get water, but it is
injurious to them.
Racks 10 sheep houses are Of grca,
importance, as the sheep can be fed
therein in stormy weather, without
wasting the forage. Yards should also
