These hands shall be kept from such labor
When once they are given to me.
All mine, little pet. will shield you
From trouble and labor and care.
will robe you like some fairy princess,
And jewels shall CLEAN in your hair.
Those slippers you gave me are perfect;
That dressing gown fits to a t
Ny darling, | wonder that Heaven
Should give such a treasure to me.

Time flies so when am with you

And now, must ! say it?-Adieu
AFTER MARRIAGE.
Oh, Mag you are hesvy-I' m tired

Your weight seems a hundred and ninety
When you plump down in that sort of way.
You had better be mending nay coat sleeve;
I've spoken about it before,
! want to finish this novel
And look at those bills from tho store.
This dressing gown fits like the dickens;
These slippers run down at the heel;
Strange, anything never looks decent;
Il wish you could know how they feel.
W hats this bill from Morgan's? Why, surely
It's not for another new dress2
Look here I'll be bankrupt ere New Year,
Or your store bills will have to grow less
Eight o'clock Mag. sew on this button
AS soon as you finish that sleeve,

THE CARE OF SHEEP i With regard
to management, never starve a sheep even
in summer.
2 Do not feed mach grain il you have
good hay. but oil events never let your
sheep grow poor.
3. Many farmers lose by letting their
sheep live as long in autumn without
feeding as possible, consequently, il they
are in good condition in October, and
tnercwIii pe 4 lenucr pacu ruc wvc,.
L. Have your lambs come in March,
if coarse wool; in MAY, it fine.
5. Shear your sheep, il possible. be-
fore the twentieth of May.
G. Keep your sheep from all cold
storms, st all times of the year, and be
as careful of them as of your horses.
Many sheep perish by showers after
shearing, even in July; so / say shear at
a time Of the year that they can be hous-
ed for week after shearing; and in
storms in autumn, if sheep are exposed,
it takes long time to dry the wool, and
the sheep are consequently uncomtorta-
bic for long time; colds and consump-
ton are the result.
7. Raise the standard of your dock;
weigh every fleece At shearing; number
the sheep, and note the weight Of the
fleece, and then sell or kill your poorest
sheep, as like produces like, aud your
average will soon go frem four to seven
pounds.
But little need be SAID about raising
lambs; only take care Of them, and b
sure especially to know whether the lamb
is able to draw the milk. THIS 10 oas
great objection to have lambs come at the
pasture, as they do not receive the atten-
ton they ought.

If to serve client faithfully by the adop

Stubbs, Of Selano, California, has got a
credit mark upon the books OF the Re

oner, rcprobate known as Little Mil

standing the strenuous efforts of Stubbs
in his behalf, and was brought before the
Judge for sentence, When asked if he
had any thing to say, Little Miller y
did not remain silent He had a good
deal to say, and he said it, He wept like
child, and spoke as one who had erred
in moment of impulse, for which he
was to atone by years of contrition and
well doing. Every one in court was af-
fected, and the emotional sensation ex'
tended even to the Judge upon the bench.
Mr. Stubbs spoke of the physical weak.
ness of his client, and the prospect that
his life would be ruined by a long term
of Imprisonment. Then the Judge sen
fenced Miller for only one year. After
it was all over, Miller was questioned by
a fellow prisoner as to the cause of his
extraordinary grief. and the reply was :

rejoice with us, and friends have been
