How they Played it On the QuakeEs.
Mrs. Clara Morris, in letter to =
friend in Washington, gives this lively
Renaissance Of two well.known actors:
"They were boys then; one tall, blonde,
and lazy, the other short, dark, and
active. It was Sunday night every one
had gone to the Quaker meeting house
few doors above. They were alone, with.
out cards, or checkers, or books, but
Satan came to the rescue. A certain
proposal was drawled by tho long chap,
and eagerly accepted by the short one.
Then put on their na:s and coats, armed
themselves with broom, and : pail Of
water, and dipper, and went forth into
the still, bitter cold Of the
night, and worked diligently.
They swept a broad -: path
over the slooping sidewalk, quite free
from snow; over this they poured dip:
of water, then waited. In = few minutes
it had frozen, then another dipper Of
water, and another wait, until the path
was glass.liko in its icy smoothness.s A.
whisk Of the broom sent light coveringo
Of snow over it; the work was dons aod
the goddess labore:s, gathering up tbsir
tools scrougcd themselves down on the
doorstep and conversed pleasantly.
Presently the doors of the meeting house
opened, and two lines Of Friends -ones
made up of males, the other Of femalss-I
came out. These lines coming down the,
steps separately, met and mingled in s
crowd on the pavement for . few mo-,
ments, then broke into twos and thress,
and came gravely down the sidewalk.
Suddenly the stiffness Of the night Was
broken by : whack! whaek! and two
snorts that were as one. A female dev

down to the scene Of disaster-whack :!

A Sure Method OF Preventing Dogs
KILLING Sheep.

MOUNT AIRY, CAROLINE COUNTY. Va,
May 6, 1876. :
II an inycieratc antipathy to the sight OF
n sheen can be produced in dog our harm
less focks would certainly be at all times
safe from their depredstionS. This aversion
can certainly he produced IN Inc loiioWlns
manner: When the dog is about SIX or ciSht
months old tic him TO one OF the strongest
sheep in the flock, leaving space OF about
five or six feet between them. Whcn ieI
loose the sheep viii run, and drag and
choke the dog until its strength is exhausted.
II will then turn upon him and butt him
severely. Take care to have the dog well
f1oprcd with 4 switch while the sheep Is
dragging him. II he is adog OF high temper
and spirit, and is not sufficiently humbed
by the first lesson, give him n second, tied
to q fresh sheep. 1T sometimes happens that
he will snap at his antagonist. This may be
remcdicd by nruzzIiug him or tying string
over or round his mouth above the long
teeth. Take cme to have the whole flock OF
sheen in small enclosure with the coupled
one and the dog. 1t often happens that seve-
raj in the flock Will join in intictlng heavy
blows upon him. by this time the dog mas
taken such an aversion to the company ana
presence Of sheep that he never forgets or
-Outgrows it.
The above remedy naNc HeNei hho"h
to fail in single instance, and am encollr-
ragged to recommend it by long experience
having raised dogs Of different descriF
tions-.hounds, spaniels, ours, and pointers
at different times-all Of which, without
single exception that l now reeeliect, nave
undergone the above discipline, and not
one instance has occurred where there was
the smallest disposition shown for mischief:
I at this time have q very sprightly and
hgh-spirited pointer. as much so as can be,
which, when ne unluckily falls in with
sheep while hunting in the field, always
covers and sinks Off another way.

The LAND OF Dom PEDRo.-The terrific
rial extent OF Brazil, over which Dom Pc
dro reigns, exceeds. that Of the United
States, though its population is only ten
millions. OF this population from one quar-
ter to one third Is white. Less than anil
lion are slaves, and provision has been made
for gradual emancipation. When inquiries
were made OF the Emperor on this subject
he said that he desired to bring about eman-
cipation in such manner as would not in
flict injury upon either race. No person
born after September, 1871, can be held as
a slave. Public education is promoted; the
public debt is $500, 600, 900; the cost OF Gov
eminent only 81, 100000; the revenues in
excess of expenditures. The exports Of
Brazil to this country are said to be three or
four times az much as she imports from U.s..
She sells her hides, horns, and Rio coffee
here, and buys her cotton goods and manu-
featured ware in England.
