Who cares for wealth of land or Gold;

1t does not give the happiness
of just one little hour.
With one who loves me as her life
She says she loves me MORE
And thopsht he did this morning
When che kissed me at the door,
at times it seems that all the world
With all its wealth and gold,
IL very small and poor indeed.

If she lives till age shall scatter
Tho frost upon her head.
! know she'll love me just the same
As the morning when We we're wed;
But if the angels call her,
And she goes to heaven before,
shall know her when meet her,
For she'll kiss me at the door.

A New Zealand Sheer. .Shearing.

Twenty FIVE shearers were at work on
the Acor. Each workman had trap
door close to him, out of which he
pushed his sheep as soon as the fleece
was oil, into little pen, so that it
could be seen if the animal had been
cut too much with the shears, or was
badly shorn in any other respect.
A very expert shearer can take off l20
feeces in day, but the average is about
eighty TO each man. They get sl per
hundred, and found. They have cook
of their own, with as much bread and
mutton, tea and sugar, IS they can con.
sumo. They work at least fourteen
hours out of the twenty-four, and, with
a flock of $4,000 sheep, make good
deal Of money.
Two boys are constantly employed in
bringing armfuls of rolled up fleeces to
the wool tables. The sorters at once
open the fleece and pronounce to which
bin it belongs. Two or three men
standing behind then roll up the feeces
again and put them on shelf divided
into compartments, which were labeled
80 that the kind of wool could be told
at a glance. These bins are then emp
tied into trucks and carried off TO the
press, where the bales are packed. The
fieeces are tumbled in and forced down
by heavy screw press, till the bale,
which is kept open in . large square
frame, is as full as it can hold. The
canvas top is then put on, tightly sewn,
four iron pins are removed, and the
sides Of the frame fall away. The bale
is now complete, and ready to be hoist
ed by crane into the loft above, where
it has the brand Of the sheep painted
ON it, with its weight, and to what class
the wool belongs.-Reois.o of Station Life
