OXEN PRoFIrARLE TEAMs.

Late in the autumn of 1864 good far
mer of our acquaintance purchased yoke
of ordinary cattle for two hundred dol
lars, and used them for hauling wood,
rails, and anything else, and for doing
most of the plowing for spring crops on IA
farm of seventyacres. In June he sold them
for beef for two hundred and sixty dollars.
He thinks their labor paid well for the
meal they consumed. On the same day
that he drove these oxen to market he
purchased another yoke for one hundred
and ninety dollars After few months
he sold these for beef at an advance,
which also paid we'll for the meal fed to
them, and purchased another yoke at once
and commenced feeding them with meal,
working them occasionally By this sys-
tenn of traficing he made three hundred
dollars in about one year, and had good
OK team constantly, receiving good price
for all grain fed them, besides making a
large quantity of excellent manure. He
is good manager, always feeds his teams
well and treats them kindly, never allow
ing them to be overworked or worried by
disagreeable drivers, who use up more of
the energies of team by bawling at and
whipping them than by the labor got out
of them. He never purchases poor oxen,
even at cheap rate, as it requires many
dollars worth of meal to get them into a
fattening condition.-Amer. Aq

WINTER SHELTER FOR SHEEP.

Have our friends provided winter shell
ter for their sheep? or are they-many of
them neglecting it as usual-and as usual,
not having the best luck with their sheep.
Depend upon it that cold in addition TO
wet, is hurtful You will see it more es-
pecially in spring. Shelter is feed saved;
strength kept, which would otherwise be
lost; and wool improved by the good con-
dition Of the sheep, to say nothing about
one Of the most important points Of all
the lambs which are to follow. A suffer-
ing sheep will produce a weak lamb. A
mong weak lambs there is always mOrtali-
ty, and no stout growth in the future body
of the sheep A weak, sickly lamb will
not make first class sheep, even under
good treatment Good treatment of sheep
is profit all round-and shelter is one Of
the important points to be attended to.
Build it aud invite the sheep in it; feed
them there; let their salt be there, and the
little tidbits they need. Now is good
time to see to this thing-to prepare for
it-RliT0E World

DELAWARE, OHIO, DECEMBER 90, 1866.

Ishock, a fearful rushing through the air
and knew no more until days afterwards,
woke to faint, weak semblance of lifs
in my chamber at home.
L never saw Captain Elliot again. The
last words l ever heard from his lips were
ton of his life in connection with mine
was to follow in the train of frightened
| youths who rode after me, to contemplate
the disaster from afar, and as soon as he
saw me lifted from the shallow bed oil
the river, into which I had been thrown
when my frightened horse stopped sud-
denly on its bank, to ride hastily Off
/ That evening he sent to make inquiries,
and learning that was severely but not
fatally injured, he thenceforth contented
himself with such tidings of my condition
and improvement as could be gained from
mere rumor.
At last it was known that would new
-er recover entirely from the effects of my
injury, and that very day Captain Elliot
departed suddenly from the neighborhood.
He made no attempt to see, nor sent me
any farewell When | was once more
abroad, and beginning, though with much
unallOyed bitterness, to learn the lesson
of patience and resignation that awaited
me, received letter from him, in which
he merely said that he presumed my own
Judgment had taught me that in my al
tered circumstances our engagement must
come to an end but to satisfy his sense of
honor (his honor) he wrote to say that
while he entertained the highest respect
for me, he desired formal renunciation
of my claim. Writing on the bottom of
this letter, Let it be as you wish, - I re-
turned it to him at once and thus ended
my brief dream of a romantic wedding
| heard ere this of Elliot's cowardly
conduct on that day; but now first be-
thought me to inquire who had rescued
me from that imminent death. And then
| learned that James Frazer, his arm bro
ken by the jerk with which brown Bess
had torn away from him as he caught at
her bride, had ridden after me and been
the first to lift me from the water. Many
times daily he'made inquiries concerning
me; his had been the hand that had sent
the rare flowers that had decked my room;
his were the lips that breathed words Of
comfort and hope to my poor mother; his
were the books that | read during the
days of convalesence; and his, now, the
arm that supported me, as slowly and
painfully paced the garden walks
L have been his wife for many year
l have forgotten that he is not handsome
or rather he is beautiful to me, because
l see his grand and loving spirit shining
through his plain features, and animating
his figure. L have long since laid aside,
as utterly untenable, my theory that
beautiful spirits dwell only in lovely bod
les. 1t may be providential compensa-
ton that, in denying physical perfection,
the soul is not dwarfed or marred by pet
ty vanity or love of the worlds praise.
