Only little child,
Who sings all day in the street,
Such tuuelcss
To an idle throng,
Who pity her shoeless feet;
poor. pale, pretty child
With clothes ragged anu mean,
And = wild, weird face,
On which meier trace
OF childhood's JOY can be seen.
Ont in the damp wet fog,
Out in the sieet and the rain,
Out when the cold wind
Sends its blast unkind
Through her again and a. ain;
in the dreadful night,
BY the hinge of the taYern-door,
In hope she sings
OF the pity that filings
Some pence on the beer-stained floor
Mothers who pass her by
Shudder with terrible fear,
Praying her fate may
Never be day
That of their little ones dear.
Children who hear her sing
stare ut her features wild,
O'er her life ponder,
Thinking with wonder,
stWhat, she too be q child Z''
Out In the damp, wet fog,
out In the sleet and rain,
Out when the cold wind
Sends its blast unkind
Through her again and again.
Brought mp in Satan's school,
Heu's abyss falling in.
Is there no pity
In this great city
To save her from shame and sin

The CHEAP LANDS o. THE NOUN
TAIN REGIONS OF THE SOUTH AS
SHERP FARNs.-Thousands of acres
of mountain land In the South can
be turned to good account by being
used as sheep pastures. These lands
can be purchased at very low prices
and may be made very profitable to
the purchaser, by using them for
this purpose. If the growing Of
wool and mutton Is made profitable
ON land costing from one to two
hundred dollars per acre, how much
more profitable will 1t be on land
costing from one TO five dollars per
acre?
The price of wool will vary, as
does every other merchantable arti-
Gle, according to the supply and de-
mand. 1t has the foreign article to
compete with, as well as our ever
changing tariff policy; but the
Flock Master who continues in the
business without regard to the fluc-
tuations of price, taking the high
when he can get 1t, and the low
when he must, generally comes out
about as well as those who may fol-
low any other kind of business.
The mutton crop Is not 50 fiuctu-
atinS In price it mas only the nome
market to contend with, and while
the price of meats continues to rule
high, which it is likely to do for
some time to come, good mutton,
being a favorite. will always hold
its own. Thus the Flock Master
has two strings to his bow and can
bear heavy or light on one or the
other, as his interest may dictate.

were put to this use by those who
have had some experience as Flock
Masters, fortunes might be made to
individuals, and an addition to the
national wealth. Sheep on those
elevated pastures would be In their
native element, aud, breathing fresh,
wholesome air, would not be liable
to many of the diseases they suffer
on the low lands.

head from small savings they are
the foundation of all great ones. A

How TO MAKE TOMATO FIGS -
Pour boiling water over the toma-
toes in order to remove the skins 4;
then weigh them and place them
in stone jar. with as much sugar
as you have tomatoes, and let them
stand two days then pour off the
syrups, and boil and skim it until
no scum rises. Then pour it over
the tomatoes, and let them stand
two days as before ; then boil and
skim again. After the third time
they are fit to dry, if the weather is
good if not, let them stand in the
syrup until drying weather. Then
place on large earthen plates or
dishes, and put them in the sun to
dry, which will take about a week
after which pack them down in
small wooden boxes, with fine SUI
gar between each layer. Tomatoes
prepared in this manner will keep
for years.

SELECTING SHERP.-Dr.- Randall
SAYS: 1.-THE best time during the
year to select out the best sheep TO
keep, and the worst to dispose of, is
at shearing. Every fleece should be
weighed and examined when taken
off. The teeth should be inspected
to ascertain the age. The shape, ap-
pearances, indicating constitution,
nursing properties OF ewes, etc,
should be carefully noted. 1t will
suffice for the wool grower merely 10
mark the inferior and old ones, so
that they can at any tire be divided
ont for sale. But the breeder should
put numbers on all his sheep, and
keep a register in which the particu-
lar characteristic of such are minute
ly recorded, to guide him-not only
in sales. but in coupling rams and
ewes together, in reference to eeun-
teracting their respective faults in
breeding"
