A sheep is about as big as a dog,
dogs kill sheep, but sheep don't kill dogs,
except once when man wanted to cure
his dog of killing sheep, and so held him
and LET an old sheep butt him until he
broke his bones into little fine pieces,
about as big as a tooth; and so that was
the way the dog got broke; and l guess
he wished he had learned some other bus
iness besides butchering you
There are mostly two kinds of sheep,
ewes and rams. There are principally
several kinds of rams also There is the
battering ram they had in the olden time
to knock at the gates of cities when they
wanted TO cnme in. Then there's the
ram that they ram down guns with, Il
" Ia 1 I'D q 0nn-1 and the hydraulic ram
that they ram up water with. CU..--.:----
when they wanted to knock down folks
walls in the Bible, they didn't have whole
rams enough TO batter them down. and
they had to take rams horns and blow
them down. That they did with the walls

was any relation to the phosphate of lime
man Or not. There is two kinds Of sheep,
the South Down, that they have down
South, and the Aerino, which is the
Spanish for marine, cause they come over
the sea. They keep the sheep for their
mutton, which is good, when they can't
get turkey, though generally they all
jump out and run away, so that they
can't keep them.
The way to make them jump is to tie
old barrel slaves to their legs as fetters.-
The fetters scare them, and they jump to
get away from them. Sheep are troubled
with wool growing all over them, SO in
the hot weather they cut it off to keep
them cool | suppose they would have to
cut off at any rate TO get at the mutton
They spin up the wool into stockings on
Lambs knitting machine, though some
times the grandmotbers knit them with
needles, which, think is the best way;
because 1t keeps them quiet, and they
won't bother US boys SO much. When
sheep jump and run, one always follows
the rest. | mean the rest always follow
the one. If the leader should jump thro'
a key~hole, or over the moon, the rest
would all follow, which l think is very
bright in the sheep and in other folks who
always follow the leader; of course the
leader is always right. Lambs are kept
for their innocence, which | think don't

An ACT or uERoIsM IN TIE Pas
ENCF OF Two ARMIES. AT the battle
of New Hope Church, fought late in
May, 1864, an incident occurred that
attracted the attention and elected the
praise of two gallant armies. This Incl
dent is rather obscurely hinted at, in an
otherwise admirable notice of the late
Col. VIM. II. Martin, of the Confederate
army, which appeared recently.
In the battle referred TO, the Federals
along one portion of the line had met
with a disastrous repulse. The ground
as is always the case in pine forests
was covered with fallen leaves. These
had been set on fire during the action,
and the repulse of the Federals having
been sudden and decisive, they neces slri
ly left their wounded, who lay thick in all
portions of the woods, exposed TO a moro
terrible ordeal than that Of battle merely.
They were about TO die in the flames,
when Col MaIlin, taking the lead him
self, ordered his men from the fortifca-
tiona, when with switches they whipped
out the fire. At the time they left their
positions, heavy firing from the restor-
ed Federal line was going on; but of
course this ceased soon as it became man.
ifest that the Confederates were engaged
in work OF humanity 10 their f1llen en-
emies.
As VIC have stated, this act upon the
part Col. Martin was for awhile tie CON-
mon topic of conversation in two great
armies, and there are very many who
will remember it distinctly. One wh0
knew all things deep and true, and sad
and strange in human life, has said that
the word "'Honor" is made lying slave
on many tomb, while 1t Is often dumb
over the resting place of ''honorad bones
indeed" That it may not be thus with
Col Martin. whnse unknown grave is in
the sands of fair, foreign river, we seek
in simple Justice TO his memory, to re-
call gentle and knighily incident of his
life, which cleaned out like star from
the deep murk and gloom of a sanguinary
war.

He came unbid: know not whence,
This wonorou9 guest, unknown before
All silent and unseen he came
Within my door.
He gently heals my lifelong pain,
He charms the frequent tears away,
And all my grief from me beguiIes,
And still will stay.
Sweet thoughts arise and eager climb,
Like birds that sing in upper air,
The song that close to Heavens high gates
Becomes prayer.
Yet half fear his tender wiles;
Oh: tardy Love, too late dcloycdt
Ny coward heart shrinks back in doubt,
And hides, afraid.
And fain would trust, but questions still
Too late delayed too long for orn
Can night so darksome break so soon
To such fair morn
Not for pale brows and faded hair,
Oh, Love, do thy red roses blow;
Take back thy crown, weeping cry
He doth not go
But fingers still and fingers yet,
And bears him in such winning wise,
Such holy benedictions shine
In his dear eyes.
l can but trust, l can but list
The winged hopes that softly sing;
Cancelled ut last mine ancient wrong,
And love is king.

The Increasing Prosperity OF tbs

The prospects ahead are bright for
the South, and especially for New Or
leans. From all quarters come words
of good cheer, and 1t seems almost
certain that the glad earth will

I'm the teeming fields and prospective
harvests salvation from the omin-
ious clouds that have hung above
them since the demon Of war swept
from them all save their lands. With
their own right arms, and struggling
against a state of affairs, politically,
that would have disheartened men
less noble and less brave, they have
achieved a triumph which reflects
upon them more OF glory than they
gathered upon the fields made menu
Orable by their feats of arms. In
many cases where the negro lsbor
proved unreliable, the planters and
their sons have performed all the
manual labor and have successfully
established the fact that they are de-
pendendent upon none but them
selves. Generally, however, the ne
grOes have evinced disposition to
work, and could they be removed
from the mischievous influences of
political demagogues, would soon be
cheerful and contented i'm their new
estate, satified with the substance Of
freedom, without desiring to join In
that hopeless chase after the ionus
Jdtuus Of equality.
1t Is now believed that inside of
three weeks the first bale of cotton
will be received at this port, and from
all accounts the shipments will stead
lily increase from time to time. Oc-
casionally we hear faint whisper of
the worm, but no serious damage has
yet occurred from the ravages of this
enemy of the snowy king, and we
have cause to indulge the hope that
this year 1t will not come TO leave des-
olation and ruin in its path. Corn
gives promises Of q fine yield; most Of
our planters having learned wisdom
by that hard but thorough teacher,
experience, have planted moro than
a sufficiency for home consumption,
beside raising all the meat they will
require. Thus the South Is pursuing
steadily and earnestly the path to
prosperity In spite of the stumbling
blocks that have been thrown In her
way, and In the persevering industry
Of her people lies the true road to that
prosperity which undoubtedly awaits
us.-New Orleans PicdyRse, July 28.

movement to grant gracefully that

tionalty of the present franchise act
has long since gone up to the SUI
preme Court of the United States ON
q writ of error from the Supreme
Court OF Tennessee. The same prln-
ciples arc involv we'd in that case were
decided some years ago I'm the Missou-
ri Test Oath case; and after II was
argued at the last term, II leaked out
that the court, when IL announced Its
decision, would pronounce the law un-
constitutional! Brownlow, II Is al
legged, heard through Maynard of the
probable decision Of the court at tho
October term, and returned home,
and put Sefltcr on the right track, and
backed II up with letter apologetic
and explanatory, In which no begged
the Republicans of the State TO place

Here, then, we see that II was only
after the Supreme Court had deter
