There was once a shepherd who had
charge Of IA flock of sheep, iii my OF the
real Dutch broad tails, but there was a
regular mixture from all parts; so that
the Shepherd who wished to govern them
all, according 20 his own ideas, found that
il was a more difficult task than he had
anticipated, for instead Of dancing to his
pastoral pipe some of his flock actually
rebelled and appeared desirous OF "rttorm
ing into a flock under a different Shep-
herd-upon which the Pastor became
irate, aud instead of trying to regain his
lost sheep with the sound of peace OF
harmony, actually sounded the trumpet
Of war which reused HIS friends of the
Lupine race, and naturally Widened the
breach between himself aud his lost flock
as usual in such cases, differences OF
opinion arose as to who was right and
who not-in discussions thereon some ex-
preS<ions were given utteflnce to, which
probably on cool reflections might have
been omitted. On one occasion some
newscarriers, not poStmen, happened TO
hear Shepherd spoken of, and anxious to
