Don't be too Sensitive.

There are some people, yes, many
people, always looking out for sligbls.
They cannot carry on the daily inter-
course the family without somo offence
is designed. They orc as touchy as
hair triggers. If they meet an &C
quaintancc in the street, who happens
to be prc-occupied with business, they
attribute his abstraction in some
mode personal to themselves, and
take um mirage accordingly. They lay
on others the fault Of their irritability.
A fit of indigestion makes them SEQ
impertinencc in everybody they come
in contact with. Innocent persons,
who never dreamed Of offence, are
astonished to find some unfortunate
word, or some momentary taciturnity,
mistaken for an insult. To say the
least, the habit is unfortunate. It. is
far wiser to take the more charitable
view Of our fellow beings, and not
suppose a slight is intended unless
the neglect is open and direct. After
all, too, life takes its use in a great
degree from the color Of our mind.
If We are frank and generous, the
world treats us kindly. If, on the
contrary, we are suspicious, men learn
to be cautious to US. Let a pcrson

Rules for the Care Of Sheep.

Keep sheep dry under foot
with litter. This is even more
necessary than roofing them. New;
er let them stand or lie in the mud
or snow.
Take up lamb bucks early in the
summer, keep them up until De-
cember 1 following, when they
may be turned ont.
8. Drop or take out the lowest
bars that the sheep may enter o.
leave a yard, thus saving broken
limbs.
4. Count every day.
S: Begin graiuing with the egreat'
est care, and use the smallest guam
t;ty at first.
6. If a eve loses her lamb, milk
her for few days, and mix q little
alum with her salt.
7. Let no hogs eat with the
sheep, by any means in TIE spring.
8. Give the lambs a little mill
feed in the time Of weaving.
9. Never frighten sheep if pos
sible to avoid it.
10. Sow rye for weak ones in
cold weather, if you can.
II. Separate all weak, or thin,
or sick, from those strong, in the
fall, and give them special care.
12. If any sheep is hurt, catch it
at once and wash the wound, and if
it is fly time, apply spirits of .tur-
pentine daily, and always wash
with something heating. If a
limb is broken, bind it with splin.
ters tightly, looseuing as the limb
swells.
13. Keep q number of good
bells on the sheep.
II. Do not let the sheep spoil
their wool with chaf or burrs.
Is. Cut tag-locks early in the
spring.
16. For scours, give pulverized
alum in wheat bran; prevent by
taking great care in changing
green for dry feed.
II. If one is lame, examine the
foot, clean out between the hoofs,
bare the hoof if unsound, and ap.
ply tobacco with blue vitriol boiled
in q little water.
18. Shear at once any sheep
commencing to shed its wool, un-
less the weather IS too severe, and
save carefully the pelt of any
sheep that dies.

THE PORT ROYAL RA1LRoar

The PORT ROYAL RAILROAD
From an article in a recent issue of
the Augusta C0nshtuhonalist, we
learnt the following to be the present
aspect Of affairs in regard to the
above named enterprise:
"The entire length of the line
from Port Royal to Augusta is 106
to 10 miles, according to the loca-
ton Of the depot at deep wafer.
Eighty miles, from Port Royal to
the Lower hree Runs, is nearly
completed-in fact, twenty-nine
miles of that part of the road
from lower Three Runs to the city
to be built. 1t is estimated that
100000 wonld be an ample
amount to finish the eighty miles,
from Port Royal up, and the thirty
miles on this end of the line could
be built foi less than one million.

who arrived here yesterday, had a

this moraing, in which he said there
was no necessity for putting the State
under martial law, and that there was
good state. Of feeling among the
better class Of citizens, to put down
Ku Klux organizations. ]. Governor

LET IN THE SuNI1aHT.-Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher, in an article
in the Christian Union, on mistakes
in our houses, specifies the t.exclu.
sion Of sunlight as one. She
says: ~
We wish the Importance of ad-
hitting the light of the sun, freely,
as we'll as building these early and
late fires, could properly impress
ed upon our house-keepers. No
article of furniture shonld ever: be
brought to our homes too good OF
too delicate for the sun to see al.
day long. His presence should
never be excluded, except when so
bright as to be uncomfortable to
the eyes. And a walk in good
bright sunlight, so that the eyes
are protected by a veil or parasol,
when inconveniently intense. A
sun-bath is Of far more importance
in preserving a healthful condition
Of the body than is generally un'
derstood. A sun-bath costs moth.
ing, and that is a misfortune, fol
people are deluded with the ides
that those things only can be gooc
or useful which cost money. But
remember that pure water, frest
fresh air, sunlight, and homes KEEP
free from dampness, will secure
many from heavy bills of the doc
tor, and give your health and vigo1
which no money can procure. /
is well.established fact that peo
pie who live much in the sun art
are usually stronger and more
healthy than those whose oceupa
tions deprive them of sunlight.

as to enable those having it
in charge to ascertain tho weight Of

nine ounces, being nine and half
or ten ounces heavier than tho aver
ago weight. The heaviest brain ever
Weighed was that of Cu.ier, the
French naturalist, which is given by
some authorities at sixty-fvo ounces,
and by some ut sixty'four' ounces.

Innocent childhood;
Shy as the antelope
Brown as O berry
Free rs the mountain air,
Romping and merry.
Blue eyes and hazel.eyes
Peep from the hedges,
Shaded by sun bonnets
Prayed at the edges;
Up it the apple trees,
Needless of danger,
Manhood in embryo
Stares ut the stranger.
Out in the hilly patch,
Seeking the berries
Under the orchard tree,
Feasting ON cherries-
Tramping the clover blooms
Down 'mong the grasses,
No voice to hinder them,
Dear lads and lasses!
No grim propriety-.
No Introduction;
Free as the birdlings
From city restriction!
Coming the purest blood,
Strengthening each muscle,
Donning health armor =
rGainst life's coming hustle!
Dear little innocents!
Born in the wild wood;
Oh! that all little ones
Had such q childhood!
Gods blue spread over them,
Gods green beneath them
No sweeter heritage
Could we bequeath them!

Standing Treat.

mo AIlGTlCull GuSlOtll CduoCo
more genuine surprise and amuse-
ment among travelling foreigners
than that which is known in our
saloons as "treatipg'' g''-consisting
in the entertainment Of two or
moro with refreshments for which
one volunteers to pay. It is pure
Americanism; all over the Repub-
lie it Is as common as in Europe it
is unknown. There is probably no
minute Of any day in the year
when two or three hundred citizens
of Chicago are not guzzling some
thing stronger than water at some
body else's expense.
The casual meeting of two men
who have ever before exchanged q
word together is signal for both
instantly to exclaim, "Come let's
have something" and for both to
dive down into the nearest SUBJ
terranean cavity below the side
walk. The Que who spoke first
usually insists upon ''paying the
shot"-the word "shot" being
metaphorical reference to the dead
ly character of the contents usual
ly taken into the stomach. If two
friends meet, the regular thing to
saw first is, "Let's drink to old
times;" and the resident must
invariably "treat" the stranger. If
a man he well acquainted, it is con-
sidered the princely thing to seize
upon all his acquaintances as often
rs possible, take them to a saloon,
and give them a complicated stand
up drink at the bar. ., .
If there is, anything absurder
than this habit, we arc unable to
put our finger on it. Men do not
always "treat' one another to car
tickets because they happen to
meet on the same seat. We never
saw man take out his pocket
book on encountering an acquain-
tance, and say, "Ah, George! De-
lighted to see you! Do take a few
postage stampsl It's my treat"
DO men have a maria for paying
each others board bills? And is
drinking together more social"
than eating together or sleeping
together.
A traveller may 60 all over the
continent of Europe, of Asia and
Of Africa, without seeing any man
except Yankee, offer to "treat;"
and the Frenchmen are quite social
enough, but when they turn into a
cafe to sip their wine or branded
coffee together, each man pays for
his own. When two Germans
long separated meet, they will be
likely to embrace, and then turn
into an adjacent beer cellar, sit
down and drink lager and eat bret
zels and chat, but when they part
again each man settles his own
score independently. So in Italy.
The Italians are proverbially merry
and generous but each man pays
for his own wine, maccaroni aud
cigars. They never 60 into each
others pocket book in the sacred
name Of friendship. They would
as soon think Of transferring to
each other their washerwoman's
bills.
The preposterous fashion Of treat
ing is responsible for the terrible dratnk-
enness IN America. There would
be as little need of temperance So
cieties and as little work for the
Good Templars as there is in Ger
many, France and Italy, if this per-
nicious or insiduous habit was
abolished. 1t is, take it all in all,
the most ridiculous, the
most unreasonable, and the
most pestilent custom that ever
laid its tyrannical hand on civilized
