Sheep.

just now there Is a demand for sheen all
over the country. This is healthy--this is
necessary Sheep are needed. particularly in
the West. They are needed here, not So
much to improve the land (and the pocket at
the same time, as to strike balance in ia

costs but little. This is an important point
with US here
Another point. We have much refuse fod-
der. This will support a number of sheep
SO that the profit is cleir. Besides, a few
sheep will not be in the way, and Will thrive
We have now reference more particularly to
the long wooded which are also the mutton
eheep-the Leicesters and the COtswolds not
the native breeds. These long wooded sheen
can be had they are scattered more or less
through the country-and are cheaper (pure
blood) than the Merinos. The greatest ad-
vantage of all is, the wool of these foreign
sheep, tho long cona5ing woods. will command
a greater price than the finest Merino. This
is in consequence of the nature and quality
of the wool, which must have machinery
expressly for its manufacture, and which il
has. Mills are established in different parts
of the country for this purpose-and it pays
these mills to manufacture this wool at the
present prices and the probability is it will
continue 20 SO say those who are supposed
to know. The thing looks safe to invest 10
these sheep, even at something of an expense

The Magic Isle.
agic isle in the river of Time

There is a magic isle in the river of Time
Where softest echoes are straving
And the air is sweet a mu steal chime
Or the exquisite breath of tropical cline.
Where June with its roses are swaying
lis where memory dwells with her pure golden
hue,
And music forever is flowing;
While the low murnured tones that come trern bling
throu IN,
sadly trouble the heart, yet sweeten il too
As the South winds Ger the waters when blowing.
There are shadowy halls in the fairv-liEe isle
Where pictures of beauty cleaning
Yet the light OF their eyes, and their sweet sunny
smile
Only fash round the heart with wiIdering y.lle
And leave US to know tits but dreaming.
And the name of the isle IS the Beautiful Past
And we bury treasures all there
There are beings Of beauty, TOO lovely 70 last.
There are bosoms of snow, with the dust oel Them
cast
There are tresses ami rlnsiets Of nalr
There are fragments OF song, only memory -ln4,.
And the words Of dear mothers prayer,
There's a harp long unswept, and n lutte without
strings
There are flowers ali withered and letters and rings,
Hallowed tokens that love used TO wear
Fen the dead, the bright beautiful dead there arise
With their son flowing ringlets of gold;
Though their voices hushed and Ger their =vyeet

The unbroken sgnet OF silence now lies
They are with us again as Of old.
In the stiffness of night hands are be-. ko.lina US

And with Joy that IS almost pam
We delight to turn back, and in wandering there
Through the shadowy halls of the island 50 fair
We behold our lost treasures again
