THE sLANDER MILL,

'Tis not new patent, hut has long been Ia use
And many have tried lis fair fame to abuse
And let me describe 1t from hopper to till
The Belzebub Patent Slander-Mill.
The young and the old can at once testify
To its power in changing the truth to lie,
Or a lie to the truth, as the patron may will
So very complete is the siandcr-Mlll.
This maehiIe will work best In social way,
Where the people may meet 10 talk or play;
And the faircst OF hands may turn at will
The crank of the famous Slander-Mill.
IL can grind your character as fine as chaff,
While the millers chat, and dance, and laugh,
And the victim feels a sudden chill -
At every turn of the Slander-Mill.
1t crushes with case fah lady's name,
And changes her grnces to sin and shsme;
While the friendly glance Of pure goodwill
Is reduced to a blot by the Slander-Mill.
A man may think himself pure as snow,
And train his virtues to make them grow;
But he Is marked fend with a vsage of i'll
BY single turn of the Slapder-Mill.
The mother who tolls for her babe and bread
With soul as true as the stars o'erhead,
Often fails the hungry mouths to all
BY passing through the Sauder-NIIll.
The father, whose wish that wife and child,
With himself, may pass on undetlled
To the Land of Rest when God shall will
Is ground to dust by the Slander-Mill.
There is nothing good, noble, wise or pure
That, passed through this mill, can long endure
When Satan invented the thing of III,
He Knew who would use the Slander-Mill.
So bring on your grst, and have 1t ground

TWo WppEs
sheep-shearins In New z.aI..d.

Sixty-6ve miles from Christchurcb is tho
Zine station of Hcathstock, and here may
be witnessed in perfection the important
ana interesting work Of shecp-slearino.
Here is an account of the woolshed. az
curious rs those Of the salederos of South
America, but more repulsive. Each
shearer has a tIap-door close TO him, out
OF which he pushes his sheep rs soon as the
neece is of and there are little pens out
/ sue, so that the manager can notice wheth-
er the poor animal has been too much cut
with the shears, or badly shorn i'm anv
other respect, and can toll exactly wbict
shearer is to blame. Before this plan was
adopted, 1t WIS hopeless to try to find out
VINO was the delinquent, for 40 one would
acknowledge to the' lsast snip. A good
shearer eau take Off one hundred and
twenty heeces in q day, but The average is
about eighty to each man. They get ono
pound per hundred, and are found in eyeryt
thing, having as much tea and sugar, bread
and mutton, as they cssa iconsuine, and
cook entirely to themselves; !; they work at
least fourteen hours out of he twenty-four,
and with such II large flock as this-about
hily thousand-must take a good deal ,Me
next inspected the stables, TO which tRS
boys were incessantly bringing armfuls OF
rolled-up Aeeces; these were land on the
them out, and pronounced in a moment to
which bin they belonged. two or three men
standing behind rolled them up again
rapidly, and put them on a Sort of she'll di-
vided into compartments, which were each
labied, so that the quality and kind of each
wool could be told at glance. There was
constant emptying OF these bins into
trucks, 10 be carried off to The press, where
we followed to see the bales packed. Tho
fleeces are tumbled in, and q, heavy screw.
press forces them down tillshe bale-which
is kept open in largo square francis as
full as it can hold. The top of canvas is
then put on, tightly sewn, four iron pins
are removed, and the sides of the frame fall
away, disclosing most symmetrical bale
ready to be hoisted by crane into the loft
above, where it has the brand of the sheep
painted on it, its weight, and to what class
the wool belongs. or course everything
has to be done with great speed and system.
We were much impressed by the silence in
shed-not a sound was to be heard except
the click Of the shears, and the wool-sorter's
decision, as he filings the fleece behind him,
given one, or at most two words. All tho
noise is outside there the hubbub atrd
dust, and apparent confusion are great.
You can hear nothing but barking and
bleating, and this goes on from early morn
ing till dark, We peeped in Mt the mems
huts-a long low, narrow building, with
two rows of 'bunks" in one compar .ment,
and table with forms around it in anoth-
er, and piles of tin plates and pannikins all
about. The kitchen was near, and we
were just in time 10 see an enormous batch
of bread withdrawn from huge brick
oven. The other commisariat arrange
ments we're on the same scale. Cold tea
is supplied all day long to the shearers, and
they appear to consume great quantities
of it. 49,. -
