SHEEP ON THE FARM

Sheep are nnderyalued by the mass Of
land holders as means Of keeping up the
fertility d the soil and putting money into
the pockets of the farmers. The moment
one begins to talk Of sheep hushsndry. the
lis.ener Or reader begius TO look for wool
quotations as il wool was all that yields
profit from sheep. One might as well
look for wheat quotations alone when
there is talk about the profit on farming
Sheep on 4 farm yield both wool and
mutton. They multiply with great rap
idity. They are the best Of farm scayea-
gers, cleaning field AZ no other class Of
animals will. They give back to the farm
more III proportion to what they take from
il than any other ANIMAL. and distribute
it better with a view to the future fertility
of the soil. Prove this? There Is no
need Of proof to those who have kept sheep
and know their habits and The profits they
yield. To prove it 10 those who have not
the experience. it is necessary they should
try the experiment, or accept the testimony
Of an experienced shepherd.
Bu. the live siock on farm should not
necessarily be sheep exclusively. Cattle.
nurses, swine. have their respective places
in the farm economy. How many of each
to keep is a question that locality, charac-
ter of markets, adaptation Of soil. predls-
position. taste ard skill Of the husbandman
must decide. But one thing ought not to
be forgotton--that the more stock man
keeps on his farm. the more grass and
grain it ought to. and il properly mahag-
ed will grow. The rates Of increase will
correspond with the business tact. techni-
cal and practical kuoaledge and skill Of
tie husbandnian.

Revenue Officials.

On last Friday morning q party of
Revcnuc officers visited the store of
Messrs Smith Il Sloan, of Pendleton,
and at tho timo of their entry both of
tho proprietors were absent, and thcir
clork had gone into back room with
customer for somo moal. When
tho clerk returned, tho officers asked
to examine tho tobacco boxes, which
was granted and they woro found to
be properly stamped. The proprie~
tors had by this timo returned, and
tho officers asked to soc thoir license
to sell tobacco. Upon looking in thoir
show case, whore it was kept, they
found the liconse gone. 1t could not
be found anywhere. The license was
scon in the show case the day bcforo
by several customers, and the suspicion
that it was removed by the detectives
is worry generally indulged at PondIo-
ton. Tho gentlomen composing tho
firm of Smith & Sloan stand as high as
any in tho State, and no person will
doubt for an istant their statement of
tho matter, besides which is tho state
ment OF some Of their customers who
noticed the liconsc therc tho day be-
fore. Tho circumsta noes of the transA
action arc all against the detectives,
who ought to be indicted IN the State
Courts for larceny. The Revenue
officers ofSouth Carolina arc generally

The Last Night at Home.
By MARY N. KIRKE DILWoRTH.

Yes, Unjust leave you all, dear ones,
2 MY truest friends on earth,
For childhood days and ripper years
Make palmer still your worth.
Oh feeble, faint, and trembling still
Are all the words say!
When my full heart seems bursting, then
For you, dear ones, Ipray.
Father! you're growing old. No more
The free, firm footsteps ,hine;;
Aud on thy head, glorious crown,
The silvcry locks now shine.
Father! thy daughter loves thee we'll;
Though erring oft, yet give
Thy blessing ere leave thy home,
In Il now home TO live.
Mother! with reverent lips Ispeak
he holiest nane know
Oh, thou art home, though all forsake
Thy daughter here below!
Mother, forgive the tears Pvc caused
From thy fond eyes to flow,
And with thy trembling lips now bless
Thy Mary as go.
Sisters! leave you all. And now
A faithful memory brings
Some Hitter emories back to me
Upon her darkcned wings.
have not loved as you have loved,
Forgive all the wrong,
SO gentle still, with oil my faults
You've loved me we'll and long.
Brothers! upon life's stormy sea
I've launched my trembling barque,
Oh, let forgiveness from you all
Make it's dark waves less dark!
1t is stormy sen God knows,
And dark The clouds above;
Yet there are golden streaks that gild,
These are-forgivoness-love.
And now, it comes at last. Farewell,
The loved and true Of home;
Though oft within your sacred walls
You Mary still will come,
Yet not as in the days gone by,
AS one OF you to live;
But give kindly welcome still,
And all the past forgive.
Life's battle must be fought, and We
The victory must win;
Yet not with folded hands, but with
Brave hearts the strife begin.
Now homes we all must make, you know,
And happy, if we will;
By loving. working, we can all
Our destiny fulfill.
Farewell. My seat is vacant, now;
Another bids me come,
And, with q cheerful, loving heart
Make light within his home.
Yet know, love you all. My hoart
Still clings to it's first love;
Have faith in God, and He will keep
a home for oil above.

that one hundred veterans ut Rock

State of Illinois in regard TO it's ag-

of glorious destiny for the Mississi-
pi Valley, to a brief allusion to the
labor question, and a plea for univer-
