Rules for the Care of Sheep.

We copy the following suggestions
about sheep from a circular issued by
F. G. D. Mckay, the general agent Of
the American Emigrant COMPANY. The
Company have already 10000 sheep
scattered among the farmers who pur-
chased land of them, in flocks ranging
in size from so to 200 head:
I. Keep sheep dry under foot with
litter. This is even more necessary
than roofing them. Never let them
stand or lie in mud or snow.
2. Take up lamb bucks early in the
Summer, and keep them up until De-
cember 1st following, when they may
be turned out.
g. Drop or take out the lowest bars
as the sheep enter or leave a yard, thus
saving broken limbs.
4. Count every day.
5, Begin granting with the greatest
care, and use the smallest quantity at
first.
6. If. eve loses her lamb, milk her
daily for few days, and mix a little
alum with her salt.
Z. Let no hogs eat with sheep, by
any means, in the Spring,
8. Give the lambs little mill feed
in time of weaving.
s. Never frighten sheep, if possible
to avoid it.
10. Sow rye for weak ones in cold
weather, if you can.
IL. Separate all weak or thin or sick
from those strong, in the Fall, ano
give them special care.
12 If any sheep is hurt, catch it n
once and wash the wound; and if it il
fly time, apply spirits of turpentinC
daily, and always wash with something
healing. If limb is broken, bind i
with splinters tightly, loosening Al
limb swells.
IS. Keep a number of good bells Of
3. the sheep,
IA Do not let the sheep spoil WOO
with chaf or burs.
I5. Cut tag-loclzs in early Spring.
16. For scours, give pulverized alum
IN wheat bran; prevent by takin;
great care in changing dry for gree
feed.
H. If one is lame, examine the toot
clean out between the hoofs, pare tn
! hoof if unsound, and apply tobacc
with blue vitriol, boiled in little ws
3 ter.
IS. Shear at once any sheep con
mencing to shed it's wool, unless th
, weather is too severe, and save care
fnlly the pelt of any sheep that dies.
10. Have, at least, one good wor
6 to refer to- This will be money
your pocket.

"A story is told of woman and
two girls, ostensibly her two daugh-
ters, who lately settled in Poughkeep-
sid, New York, furnished the lower
part of their house richly and dressed
extensively. Their pleasant manner
attracted many residents and their
visiting list became large. Among
their new friends WAS a rich and re-
spectacle man of sixty. He sat one
evening near one of the daughters in
the parlor, when her mother and sis
ter entered hurriedly. The former
then presented a pistol and threatened
to shoot him if he did not instantly
depart. Seeing that the performance
was trick to extricate money, he left.
A short time afterward he received 3
note from Mrs. Carey, his accuser,
saying that out of respect for his fami-
ly, she would not commence criminal
proceedings against him if he would
give her $4,000. He returned the
note after writing upon it, 81 have
$4,000 lying idle, and VIII spend it
in sending you to Sing Sing if hear
any more from you" That silenced
the woman, and abe moved her furni-
turc and departed with the girls.

roWoles for companions, and has al
most broken his parents hearts with
his conduct
"L knew it would be sou I cried.
My friend looked up questioning

told him the conversation heard
between the two boys ten years be-
fore. Il never new it to fall" 1 ad-
ded, "when a boy has such firm and
fine ideas of right and wrong as Harry
had, and all his companions jeers only
make him the firmer, he is sure to
turn out well. And when a boy shows
a preference for low things, and be-
gins to talk about the old man, and
affects the ways of loafers, he Is pretty
sure to grow mp a miserable affair, un-
less some strong, healthy, influence is
brought to bear against the inclina-
lions"
True" my friend said. "I always
feel sorry when l hear anybody talk
ing about the old man, when he means
his father; and if boys only knew it,
they always fall in the estimation of
grown people when they do so. It is
only loafers and rowdies who applaud
them. And it is far better to win the
approval of true man, or woman,
than a rowdy. But many boys fail to
see it.
My young readers, never let any
one hear you call your father the old
man or the governor. Such express
sions are only fit for rowdies; remem-
Der that, no matter who you hear use
them Young Peoples Helper.

Get his confidence if you can, and then
do not lose, by some blunder, that
which you have gained. SuaUiteT an
modo, .forttter an re, must character
ize teachers action when dealing
with that class of scholars. Be sure
you give them good impression of
school at the very first, and the battle
is half done. So much for manner.
The matter you teach has much to
do in the case. Don't teach abstrac
tions. Do not tell a child that ''the
character is B, and you must be sure
to recollect it now," but take some
word that the child knows perfectly
we'll, and work that word with all its
elementary sounds into his mind.
RecoIlect that little children must
have the concrete, if they ever learn.
Show him picture of a cat. Then
print the word CAT on the blackboard; /;
tell him to look at the picture. ''What
do you see?' He answers, "I see a
cat.' Teacher says, ''Do you? Then
you may give it some meat from your
basket" Child laughs and looks puz
zled, and is prepared to understand
when you tell him that he sees only
picture of a cat. Now call his atten-
ton to the word cat, on the board
He looks at the characters, and sees
a mass of unmeaning marks, as unin
telligible to him as Chinese is to you.
Have ready three square pieces of
pasteboard, on one of which you have
printed G, on another A, and on the
other, T. Now hand him the letter
A, and tell him to go to. the blackboard
and pick out the character that looks
like the one he has in his hand. It
will be done promptly. Do the same
with the other letters, all the time
pleasantly and earnestly. This will
do for one lesson. The next lesson
review the. first quickly, and teach
him to arrange his pasteboards as the
letters are on the board. When he
has done this, you may teach him the
elementary sounds of these letters
At third lesson you may spell the
word for him, and thus il
three lessons you have taught hin
three letters. Always review. Mex
take the word Dog; then Time, Pen
Lazy, Box, Wax, Fish, Quick ant
Hive, will embrace the rest of the al
phabet. If you can find a better lis
of words, do so. After twenty -si1

What to do When You are in
Trouble,

Don't try to quench your sorrow
in rum or narcotics. If you begin
this, you must keep right on with it
till it leads you to ruin; or, if you
pause, you must add physical pain
and the consciousness of degradation
to the sorrow you seek 60 escape. Of
all wretched men, his condition is
the most ritifuI who, having sought
to drown his griet in drink, awakes
from his t1ebauch with shattered
nerves, aching head, and depressed
mind, to face the same trouble again.
That which was at first painful to con-
template will, after drink, seem un-
bearable. Ten to one the fatal drink
will be again and again sought, till its
victim sinks hopeless, pitiful wreck
Work is your true remedy. If mis-.
fortune hits you hard, hit something
else hard; pitch into something with
will There's nothing like good,
solid, absorbing, exhausting work to
cure trouble. If you have met with
losses, you don't want to lie awake
thinking about them. You want sweet,
calm, sound sleep, and to eat your
dinner with appetite. But you can't
unless you work. If you say you
don't feel like work, and go a
loaf1ng all day to tell to Tom, Dick
and Harry the story of your woes,
you'll lie awake and keep your wife
awake by your tossings, spoil her
temper and your own breakfast the
next morning, and begin tomorrow
feeling ten times worse than you do
to-day.
There are some great troubles that
only time heals, and perhaps some
that can never be healed at all; but
all can be helped by the great pans-
cea, work. Try it, you who are af-
fiicted. 1t is not a patent medicine.
1t has proved its efficacy since first
Adam and Eve left behind them with
weeping their beautiful Eden. It is
an oficinal remedy. All good physi-
clans in regular standing prescribe il
:, in cases of mental and moral disease.
; 1t operates kindly and well, leaving
no disagreeable segueEEg, and We as
sure you that we have taken a large
! quantity oft with the most beneficial
: effects. It will cure more complaints
than any nostrum in the naeterfd med
. lea, and comes nearer to being 8 "cure-
alr' than any drug OF compound of
drugs in the market. And it will not
sicken you if you do not take it sugar
coated. .-ScientiJfc american.

Starting Small Scholars.

The ordinary way is to give the lit
tie fellow book, and after telling him
that ''these two slanting marks with
a crossbar on them is A." let him
sweat in fear and embarrassment till
the teacher gets time to see what the
boy has been doing, and then to tell
him again that ''this letter to which I
am pointing is A" and so on through
the twenty-six letters.
A course of such letter training,
with little pepper and salt by way
of chastisement, was the plan on
which the writer was started as chew
ebeginner" at common school.
We believe there is much better
plan for initiating the little girls and
boys who have reached the legal
age which admits them to public
| instruction. First, let the ideas which
the pupil receives on entering the
room be pleasant. Shrill tones, sour
looks, false dignity, designed to over
awe the small boys, will never start
the child in the direction of study.
Never does teacher need suavity
of manners, gentleness of expression,
and carefulness of action, more than
when he first points out to one
of the younger children the way Of
learning. Never should a teacher
''put himself in his place. more thar
at the very time of which we are
speaking Consider the condition o.
your child at this period. Everything
is new to him-the house with its fur
niture, the scholars, the teacher, tn,
rules, and the unusual circumstance
by which he is surrounded. Fright
more than anything else, is apt to b
his prevailing mental condition. Em
barrassment always attends his intro
duction to these new scenes. A skill
full teacher has now a grand oppor
tunity for good. A bungling school
keeper will be sure to make anothe
e error in his treatment of such a case

Chinese reports say th at the atroci-
ties of the Coolie slave trade, which
have recently been bro ought to public
cognizance, will arrest attention and
excite horror wherever the English
language is spoken, and the hope is
expressed that the concurrent opinion
and united action of all Christendom
will establish such police on the sea
as to render all-coerced immigration,
inevitably tending to the slave trade,
impossible.
