Mistakes Of Sheep Farmers.

The Raral New Yorker, says:
A large class of sheep farmers have
made two or three mistakes and now
threaten another. They had not firm
ness enough to 60 through pinching
time in the wool business without be-
coming discouraged and to a greater or
less degree sacrificing their hocks. Sheep
that would have before long been in
good demand, and brought remuner-
ating price to those disposed to sell,
have been recltlessly crowded off at
less than the value ola single fleece, to
be killed for their pelts, with less than
hall years growth of wool on them.
Secondly. Many that have retained
iaoks have abandoned improvements
on them; bred them, the past fall, to
rams OF inferior quality, or made the
most irrational crosses. Third. Not
a few farmers, we are told, in certain
portions Of the country, are preparing
to make another egregious mistake
namely, to give their sheep an excess
sively poor wintering, feeding them
very scantily and and compelling them
III great measure to SHIFT tor them
selves.
The folly of this last procedure is
fully equal to that of either OF the
others; and it is barbarous as well as
foolish. lfsheep are worth wintoring,
it is certainly more profitable to give
them full supply of TODD, and thus
preserve their lives and obtain their
iull amount of wool and lambs next
spring, than it is to go to halt the same
cost tor keep and have half or more of
the sheep perish in March--lose half
the value of the wool and nearly the
entire drop of lambs.

Poisoned Beer.

Beer in England, years ago, used to
be regarded as very healthy bever-
age, but Of late it has been discovered
that the beer used in most of the COM
mon drinking places is adulterated =
Statistics show that drunkenness has
largely increased, and thousands have
died from mdulging freely in beer
drinking. Evidences taken before
committees engaged in examining into
the adulteration of malt liquors, estab-
lished the fact that it was the custom
to adulterate beer. The English press
IS indignant over the discovery that
the great national beverage, which is
food and drink for the tilers and toll
ers Of England, should be found sys-
tematically poisoned. The investiga-
ton showed that, among the ingred,-
ents put into liquors, were Cocculus
lndlcus, grains OF Paradise, and Cop
peras, the latter being nothing less
than green vi.rio'. Beer houses have
been regarded every where as the
great curse of the country; but much
greater curse was the stutf,sold in them.
In this it has been discovered that
a large amount OF the stuff sold for
lager beer, is compound OF thevilest
ingredients. In many cases persons
w..o have been in the frequent habit of
drinking it at low places have found
their health impaired, and have prema
turely died.
Pure beer is undoubtedly an invigo
rating beverage. The inhabitants OF
Germany are mostly robust people;
hut then it must be remembered that
their beer was pure, which cannot be
sid Of the swill sold in many places
in this city. Lager has become pop
ular beverage in tins city. How is this
evil to be reached, is sabject that
should engage the attention OF the

The vc!ocipcle seems destined to
come into use in this city, though it
will not soon attain here the vogue it
has reached in France. Our streets
are too narrow and too crowded, and
we have few broad, smoota avenues
affording the opportunity of employ
ing it extensively as means of exer-
else and health. Still, it is SO attrae-
tive and fascinating developing SO
much strength and skill, and atforling
SO much amusement to the rider, that
its votaries and students must become
numerous.
The only artistic velocipes consist Of
two wheels, the one directly behind
the other, and connected together by a
light iron fra ne work The fore wheel
IS usually 4 little higher of the two
Where great speed is aimed at, it's di-
ameter may be made as great. a four
feet, while that of the hind wheel should
hardly exceed two feet and eight or
ten inches. In most OF those that have
been seen in this city, the two wheels
have been pretty near equal, with di-
ameter Of about two feet and four
inches,
The propelling force is applied

self by the alternate action OF his feet
upon these treadles. The motion of
the feet is not unlike that in rapid
walking. The rider sits upon little
saddle just over the fore part OF the
hind wheel. He guides his velocipede
by turning the wheel to either side
This is done by means Of stiff iron
rod which rises from the axle and has
a cross bar at the top that is held by
both hands Of the rider. ~
The first part Of the velocipede is to
keep your balance. This Is not unlike
the same operation in'skat.ng. It can
only be acquired by practice. The
more rapid the motion, the easier it is

a Hindoo Fable.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.
1t was six men of lndostan,
To learning L.uch inclined,
Who went to see the elephant
Though all Of them were biind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The FIRST approached the elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his sturdy side,
AT once began TO bawl4-
"God bless me but the elephant
Is very like \ walll'
The second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried "Ho! what have we here
So very round, and smooth, and sharp,
To me It's mighty clear,
This wonder of an elephant
Is very like spear!"
The third approached the animal,
And happening to take
His squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
~ see" quoth he, 'the elephant
Is very like a snakeW
The fourth reached ont his eager hand,
And felt about the knee:
"What most this mighty beast is like
Is mighty plain" quoth he;
"'Tis clear enough the elephant
Is very like a tree!'
The mn, who Glanced to touch the ear,
Said Even the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most,
Deny the fact who can;
This marvel Of an elephant
Is very like fan =
The sirth M sooner had begun
About the beast 10 grope
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
al see,' 9uoth hc 1.-The elephant
Is very like a rope!"
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrongr
So oft in theologic wars
The disputants. l ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
OF what each other mean,
And pirate about an elephant
Not one Of them has seen!
