SHEEP ON A FARM.-The New York World
says, in answer to correspondent: g 1t
certainly is profitable to keep sheep on a
farm if rightly managed-even though the
price of wool is low. They are scaYengers
on a farm-death to all weeds and shrubs
that are an annoyance to the tidy farmer.
Besides, the spring lambs, if careful se-
lection of breeds is made, will be found
profitable to sell, especially the males, in
the market. Americans are eating more
and more mutton yearly. The object %
the shepherd should be to adapt his sheep
husbandry to the market nearest him; to
grow the kind of wool that sells the best /;
or, if the carcass is more in demand, grow
the sheep which make the most and best
meat in the shortest time-always taking
into account hardness and easiness OF keep

The Bridal Tour.
From the Boston Courier. l

lrrOm the bOetOn courier.
Young Spriggles and his Amarantha Jane
had just been married, and were going
upon their bridal tour They didn't know
whether, upon their return, they would
board with the old folks or take rooms in
a private hotel Being only clerk, Sprig-
gles's means were limited, and he could not
expect much at first in the way of living
"Of course he said to old Dodge, a
wealthy member of the firm who had granted
him three weeks leave of absence, "we

my bridal tour, and the girl that was to be

we wanted that it should be q success We

first meal thereafter in our own house,
and I thence went to my work and my wife
set about her work. 1t was new life and
we were determined to succeed if possible.
And in that effort was JOY. And in the sue
cess that followed was unusual happiness.
In less than three years my house was paid
for and my home was my own. Come

first blessed days of my own home life to

"And, he added with a regretful shake of
the head, Il fear the young men of the
present generation will not live them for

Spriggles walked away scratching his
head. He wasn't sure that he had really
caught the drift of the old mans remarks.

HOMAN'S HEALTH.

It's lamenable fact that from causes not generally

to lose that youthful vim and eprightliness so much

empt from some troublesome annoym ce. She is con-
tinuay grunting and fretting with pains and aches,
her secretiOns all impaired, her energies are lost,
she forces herself in society," she sours on almost
everybody, her health slowly declines until she be-

the turn Of life is stranger to suffering peculiar

LET 1T STAND.

II Is evident from a perusal OF tho
debates and proceedings Of the House.
that partial or total repeal OF the law
the franking privilege. aud
a consequent resurrection Of that ex-
psnsiye humbug Ia favored by a major
l,y OF members. The Republican party
enacted the repeating law, 1t solemnly
pledged itself before the people Mt
Philadelphia to keep 1t repealed. The
effect Of its repeal Is not yet known
Time enough Ia, not elapsed to test
Its efficacy az al economical measure.
One thing however Is noticeable, viz T:
that from solnc cause, whether this or
not. we are not prepared to say, the
bids for carrying the mails arc lower
than over before. and the contracts let
show q most gratifying decrease. We
are not In favor OF repeating the law
which abolished this abuse. First be.
cause the Republican party must
stultify itself to do 50. Second
because the new system has
moi, been half tested yet, and
third because we think that newsps-
pers a. well as Congressman ought to
pay their postage the same rs other
people. There 10 no reason why Gov
ernment should carry a paper free In
the limits of the county whore publish.
ed any more than Il should transport 1t
without charge from New York to San
Francisco. Distance has nothing to
do with the matter. There Il mo more
reason for a free postal system for
newspapers aud Government officials
than for the general public who pay
taxes and support tho Post Oalce De-
partment. Newspaper publishing iss
business like banking or mining, and
Is 10 more entitled to DO d~ead.hcaded
by tho Government than are other
business interests. We say let the law
stand. even if II shall result In our de-
~privatisn OF the annual avalanche Of

ling to forego these luxuries for the
