The flock of Southdown sheep from which
the portraits of the above animals were taken
was started in 1866 by the purchase of one
buck and three ewes at the sale of William
Y, Case, near Milford, N. j., who obtained
his stock from J. Worth, of Chester county,
Pa, and the late J. G. Taylor, of Monmouth
county, N. ]. Mr.. Taylor was an extensive
importer from the flock Of she late Jonas
Webb, of Babraham, England. Among the
noted animals imported by Mr.. Taylor from
Webb's flock may be mentioned Worlds
Prize, imported in 1858; Reserve, imported in
1850; Eighty Ni,ae, imported in 1861, for
which $1,000 was paid being the highest price
paid for any animal at Mr.. Webb's sale in
1861. In 1869, two more ewes were purchas-
ed Of Francis Worth, of Chester county, Pa,
whose father, John Worth, was an extensive
breeder of Southdowns and obtained much of
his stock from Mr.. Taylor. In 1870 buck
and two more ewes were purchased of s. j.
Sharpless, of Chester county, Pa, who has
at present the finest flock of its size owned in
the State. Mr.. Sharpless also obtained much
of his stock from the different importations

The principle of breeding employed in
bringing the flock to its present standard has
been to select annually at least one buck and
three eve lambs and keep them until they are
three years old, at which time, if they are not
found to be better than any in the flock, they
are disposed of. This annual saving of three
or more of the best lambs and annually dis
posing of a like number Of the poorest ami
mails in the flock, secures to the breeder the
best results of his breeding and at the same
time prevents the increase of the flock above
given number. Too close breeding is also
avoided by this plan and by retaining no lambs
from yearing ewes-the buck being changed
every second or third year. The flock at pres

1t seldom happens that those who are famous
at monologue are equally clever at retort.--
But Coleridge uttered one of the finest things,
on a sudden provocation, ever said in any IAN

when some of his hearers, not liking his sem
timents Kissed. He paused, looked calmly
around at them, and then, enunciating very
slowly, said When, on the burning embers
of Democracy you throw the cold water of
reason, no wonder that they hiss" 1t was of
course better suited to an Athenian assembly
than to British mob, but it was a glorious
outburst all the same.

ceived in the Bateses. / s'posc Elnathan
Rogers feels cranky enough now he's got her

did,"
Notwithstanding this self graduation,
Hiram felt all the pangs of disappointment
and jealousy. Ho had not only lost his girl,
but he had been cut out in the most mortify-
ing manner by man he held in thorough con.
tempt. He felt that even with what he now
knew Of Jenny's faults, if he could gain her
hand he would carry her off in spite of his
rival or the deacon either.
A week passed by, and Jenny was never out
of Hiram's thoughts One day he went to the
village, and while there, standing i'll front OF
the post-office, Elnathan Rogers drove up with
the deacon's mare.
81 s'pose now he's got Jenny, he thinks he's
got right to the whole property" muttered
Hiram. 81 wish to gracious the old mare
would put her feet through the dash board -
That night the singing school met at the
Academy. Hiram came late. He used to sit
with the tenors just behind Jenny Bates.
Now lie chose different scat and tribe hard
to sing bass. He could not, however, help
seeing Elnathan Rogers pass peppermint loz-
engers to Jenny, and also write something on
the blank leaf of her singing book, which she
read and answered.
"Of course he'll go home with her to-
night" thought Hiram. eth DO the first
time Pve missed it for a year. He's welcome,
though" A
All insermission he kept his seat, and pre-
tended to be very busy looking for some tune
in the singing book that refused to be found.
Jenny did not look at him.
The doxology closed the school at last, and
there was grand busting about the door,
and an eager pushing among the young men
to make sure of their favorites. Hiram was
trying to make his way through the crowd,
when he found himself at the elbow of Jenny
Bates and the same moment the hateful voice
of Elnathan Rogers was heard in the words
"Shall | see you home Tonight, Miss
Bates ~"
"No, sir" was the prompt answer. 81
shall walk home alone.o
Hiram was totally unprepared for this.
Perhaps it's one of her fits, ne said tc
himself. The deacon said she had 'em
that nobody knew but himself. I'm mighty
glad she mittened him, though"
The word mitten reminded Hiram that he
had left both his OH his seat in the school
room, and he stepped back just as the candles
were being PIT out.
Here's Jenny Bates's singing book" he
heard one boy say to another. "She went of
in such hurry tonight she forgot it,"
.'Give it to me, said Hiram, who remem.
bered what had taken place that evening, and
with eager look sought out the written mes
sages that had passed between Jenny and his
rival. They were as follows
SO Tell your father he cheated me when
bought old Jenny. | thought by her name
she must be good for something, but she
kicks and bites ten times worse than he ever
told me. Iwish now / had spoken for the

A Lesson OF TRusT.---Some time ago a
boy was discovered in the street, evidently
bright and intelligent but sick. A man, who
had the feeling of kindness strongly develop
ed went to him and asked him what he was
doing there.
Waiting for God to come for me, he
said.
What doyou meanan said the gentleman,
touched by the pathetic tone of the answer,
and tue condition Of the boy, in whose eye
and flushed face he saw the evidence of fever.
"God sent for mother, and father, and little
brother" said he, .sand took them away to
his home up in the sky and mother told me

anything, and SO | came out here, and have

would. He will come, won't he? Mother

care of YOU"
You should have seen his eye flash and the
smile Of triumph break over his face as he
said:

though Hiram had probably never thought of
the fact before he fully experienced its truth,
as, endeavoring to spring genteelly from the
buggy, his foot slipped on the wheel and he
came down on his hands and knees in the dirt.
His remarks as he scrambled to his feet were
confined to one word, but that, though short,
was the most expressive one in the English
language.
"I'll have to go round to the barn pump
and wash my hands before go in,' he said
to himself. 81 suppose they are having their

broken by the deacon:

Hiram Jenkins waited until he saw his sue
cessful rival climb the fence between the
two farms. Then ne deliberately unhitched
his horse, got into his wagon and drove off,

HIBAM JENKINS, MISTAKE.

I
f@4 ftH 81 - Ef#AEt 3
Hiram Jenkins drove slowly up the hill road
that lead to the farmhouse of Deacon Bates.
1t was plain even to the casual observer that
the errand he was bound upon was of no COM
mon Importance. No man would have ar
rayed himself SO gorgeously simply for the
purchase of tub of fall butter or yoke of
steers. His hair was in a state of distressing
smoothness, and seemed almost part of the
glossy hat which covered it. His coat and
pantaloons were marvels in their way, and his
boots which had been deliberately BACKED, re-
fiected back the rays of the setting sun in a
manner perfectly binding to the beholder.
And yet, notwithstanding his superiority in
all these respects to the lilies of the field,
there was apparent in his action a singular
sort of nervousness, a trepidation almost,
which rendered his appearance ridiculous and
awkward. This trepidation was in no wise
lessened by the sudden vision Of a red-headed
urchin Watching him from the barn-door, and
who, as the team approached, with an ever
widening grin, sped off in the direction Of the
farmhouse and disappeared through the
kitchen door. Hiram was conscious minute
afterwards of being the target for half a
dozen pairs Of eyes from the sitting-room
windows, and it required extraordinary
strength of mind on his part to drive past the
house to the shed where the horses Of all yisi-
tors were hitched. There are few more awk-
