SHEEP AND TURNIP HUsBANDRY IN ENG
LAND.

Hand n.hand these husbandries have
done more for agriculture than aught else
since the world was civilized. 1t is the i'm
mensc quantity of turnips, mangel wurzel,
and swedes eaten by sheep on the land, that
chiefly keeps up the fertility of the arabic
:s Sd ss ssls sis|a d "a ssas sssss
the number of bushels which were former
" growa.. This has been done, too, while
in the United States exactly the opposite
has been accomplished, for here the yield
of whe4, barley, and oats has become less
than hSlf what was grown in days Of yorc.
The housing of sheep by night, i'll Sum-
mcr, isIa great detriment to the pasture they
feed on, and the severity of the Winters in
the North, making it necessary to take the
turnips. off the land where grown, to be eat
en- in barns is drawback to the chief ben
eft Of the crop for improving and renovat-
ting the soil.
Ingenuity is 4 characteristic of the
American nation, and tho man who shall
invent movable sheep pen, affording shell
ter so that sheep can be kept daily moved
all over the fields. as the crop is eaten, will
be benefactor to his country, have his
name handed down to posterity, and as a
still sharper spur to ingenuity, gather in the
shekels abundantly for, although the man
uresis> good when made under cover, yet
there is loss of urine, loss of time in haul
ing the turnip crop, and again in carting
the manure. When this is made practical
bic, the swcdcs can be put into heaps of q
load or two, on the field, just as is done IN
England and covered with earth sufficient
ly thick to keep out the frost. Then, with
crowbar or like implement, it will be easy
to break into the heaps, cut them up with
machine, and feed exactly as is always
done in England, in the open field
The South will, doubtless, eventually, be
the great sheep producing place, and there
turnips can be grown and consumed by the
sheep but, by improving the grass land
and contriving to have food pastures opened
to them in Winter, and encouraging the
best varieties Of grass for permanency
very little roots of any kind would be ncces-
sary, as any quantity of mutton aad wool
may be produced from stimulation by corn,
peas, or grain. Nevertheless, heavy crop
Of swedes given to flock of sheep intended
for the butcher, will bring them out in the
Spring ripper by good deal, and not only
will there be better and more mutton, but
the wool will be correspondingly improved
Sheep and turnip husbandry must be gen
orally adopted in the United States to save
the country from becoming barren wilder
ness, for to such condition it is, in reality

THE LITTLE YEARS.

These years these years these naughty year
Once they were pretty things;
Their fairy footballs met our ears,
Our eyes their glancing wings.
They fitted by our schooiboy way;
We chased the little imps ut play.
We knew them, soon, for tricky elves:
They brought the college gown,
With thoughtful books filed up our shelves,
Darkened our lips with down,
Played with our throat, and 10 the tone
OF manhood had become our own.
Alas those little rogues, the years,
Had fooled me many day,
Pluckcd half the locks above my ears,
And tinged tho rest all gray.
They've left me wrinkles great and small
fear that they have tricked us all.
Well, give the little years their way;
Think, speak and act the while;
Lift up the bare front TO the day,
And make their wrinkles smile.
They mold tho noblcst living head;
They carve the best tomb for the dead.

AT THE BAR.

"Who speaks for this man?'' From the great
white Throne,
Yelled in its roscate clouds, the voice came
forth;
Before it stood parted soul alone,
And rolling east and west, and south and
north,
The mighty accents summoned quick and dead ::
""ho speaks for this mansssre his soem be
said2'
Shivering, he listened, for his earthly life
Had passed in dull unnoted calm away;
He brought ne glory to its daily strife,
No wreath of fame, or genius fiery ray;
Weak, lone, uRgfted, quiet and obscure.
Born in the shadow, dying mid the poor
Lo, from the solemR concourse hushcd and DIM
The widows prayer, the ophan's blessing
The strugglcr told of trouble shared by him,
The lonely Of cheered hours and softened
woes;
And like chorus spoke the crushed and sad,
"He gave us all he could and what he had :"
And little words of loving kindness said,
And tender thoughts, and help in time of need,
Sprang up, like leaves by soft Spring showers
fed,
In ssme waste corner, sswr by chance-hung
seed;
In grateful wonder heard the modest soul,
Such tribes gathsrsa. lie. .so.licsr whole. ''
o ye by circumstance streng fetters bound,
The store 50 little and the hand so fral,
Do but the best yc can for all areund;
Let sympathy he true, nor courage fail;
Winning among your ncighhOrs poor and weak
Some witness at your trial hour to speak

HINTS ON THE CARE OF THE EYES.

There are, perhaps, more individuals who
ascribe their weakness Of sight to u use of
their eyes under an insufficient ARTIFICIAL r.
Illumination than to any other one Cause
In a great many instances this may not be
strictly true, but there can be no doubt that
faulty artificial light is one Of the most pro-
ductivc causes Of a certain class of injuries
to which the eye can be exposed The two
sources Of trouble with the ordinary artili-
cal light. arc-frst, that they are not
pure white, and secondly, that they are un-
steady. The first defect is found in ali ar
tifcal lights except the lime, electric and
magnesium lights; the second especially in
candles and and gas The ycllowncss is, in
Il measure, corrected by using in the case
of lamps and gas, chimncys of violet or
blue tint, and the Pickering of the gas may
be obviatcd largely by employing an Argand
burner. All things considered, German
student lamp furnishes the most satisfactory
light. The next best is gas with an Argand
burner. The chimneys Of both may, as
above suggested, be advantagcously Of a
light bluetint.
The position of the light in relation to
the body is of great importance. If a
S'iaNiS 10 uSSu ol q VI W Shouiu,
by preference, be of ground or milk" glass
the light may stand directly in front of the
body and the work be allowed to lie in the
light under the shade, which will protect
the eyes from the glare of the flame. If
no shade is used the back should be turned
to the source of light, which ought to fall
over the left shoulder. The same rule ap-
plies to the management of daylight. In
this case the light should come from behind
and slightly above, and fall directly on the
work, whence it is reflected to the eye
1t should never fall directly in the face.
The-hght in the room during sleep is also
not without its influence AS rule, the
room during sleeping hours should be dark;
and, in particular, care should be taken to
avoid sleeping opposite toa window where
on opening the eyes in the morning food
Of strong light will fall on them. Even the
strongest eyes are, after the rcpose of the
night, more or less sensitive to the impress
sion Of intense light. The eyes must have
time to accustom themselves to the stimulus

VULGAR WORDs.-A distinguished auth
or says Il resolved when was 4 child new
er to use word which | could not use be-
fore my mother without offending her. =
His rule and example arc worthy of imita-
ton Boys readily learn class Of low, vul-
gar words and expressions which are never
heard in respectable circles. The utmost
care on the part of parents will scarcely pre-
vent it. OF course we cannot think of
girls being SO much exposed to the peril
We cannot imagine Il decent girl using
words that she would not give uttcrancc to
before her father or mother. Such vulgar.
ity is thought by some boys to be smart, y
the next thing to swearing and yet mot
80 wicked But it is habit which leads
to profanity. and fills the mind with evil
thoughts. 1t vulgarizcs and dcgrades tle
soul, and prepares the way for many Of the
gross and fearful sins which now corrupt
society. Young reader, keep your lrbnth
free from all impurty, and your tongue from
evil, for out Of the abundance Of the heart
the mouth spcakcth.'

n BELL Four CENTURIES OLD.-A few
days since, while Capt. Smith, the diver,
was feeling for somo lost anchors just out
side the bar, he found ships bell He
brought it up, and discovered that it bore
the appearance Of having been under water
a long time. The date "1377" was distinc-
tly inscribed upon it. There is no clue to
its history, and it is likely to remain one of
the mysteries Of the sea. 1t would be a
valuable acquisition to the museum.-Ncws

PRorANIrY.-Wc ar" cmphatically in
the age Of profanity, and it seems to us that
we arc on the topmost current. One cannot
90 on the street anywhere without having
his ears offended with the vilcst words, and
his reverence shocked by the most proianc
use of sacred names Nor does it come
from the old or :Giddle aged alone, for it is
fact that the younger portion of the com
munity are most proficient in degrading Ian
guagc. Boys have an idea that it is smart
to swear; that it makes them manly, but
there never was greater mistake in the
world. Men. even those who swear them
selves, are disgustcd with profanity in
young man, because they know how, of all
bad habits this ciings the most closely and
increases with years. 1t is the most insidi-
Gus of habits, growing on one so invisibly,
that almost before one is aware he becomes
an accomplished cursor.

OF THE

weekly journal, devoted to the interest of
Judaism and Humanity, Art, Science, Literature
and general Information.
The establishment of Southern Jewish Jour-
nal in the interest of Judaism and the dssemi-
nation Of it's truths, would, we think be no SUI
pbfhuous addition to the list of journals Of like
character issued at the North and West. Rely
ing therefore on the encouragement of our CO.
IeligiS 1sts in general and on the support of our
Southern brethren and friends in particular, We
have decided to venture upon this NeW Southern,
Enterprise, and shall, about the first week in
September, present for the favorable considera-
tion of the public.
The Southern Hebrew,
combining all requisites necessary for carrying
on an instructive and interesting Journal it
shall be our aim to submit paper, replete with
oil that is calculated to engross the attention Of
those eager to welcome and entertain such a
visitor to the home circle. Under able manage
ment in oil departments with the aid Of minis
ters, teachers and the native talent of others i'm
this journal a valuable adjunct to tho Synagogue
and the religious school. hearty "God speed"
has already been given u.s. and fresh impetus to-
cur energy, which is deeply gratifying to the
laborers in the vineyard. -.
The Hcbrew will be the organ. Of no special

endorse the right and the truth whencesoever
they may emanate. In matters of religions opn-
ion, as well Us any important subject, we shall
be Independent in Euerything-Neutrai in Moth
ing.
This being the only Jewish journal issrfSa in
the South, The HEBREW claims to possess supe-
rior advantages MS an advertising medium, with
rates equal to the lowest.
With your aid and encouragement, we trust to
be able to realize every reasonable expectation.

PATENT CmEEsE.-Thc following ac-
count explains fully enough what is the
matter with the cheese "For some time
patent cheese has been finding its way into
our markets This fact is generally un-
known to consumers, who have sometimes
commended this cheese under the impression
that it Was the old-iashioncd product Of the
cheese press. Both patent butter and pa
tent cheese have been made and sold in vast
quantities in England, Holland, France
ana Germany, for many years and large
quantities Of both arc now made here and
sent abroad. The portions OF the fat of the
animal from wiiich the giobules are extrac-
ted are the caul, the kidney fat, and other
>"ttcr portions of the fatty matter. These
softer pieces Of fat are obtained from the
Slaughter houses Immediately after the kill
ing Of the animals. AS soon as received,
they are washed and put into close, warmed
cans They then are taken to the manutac-
tory and placed in watts warmed by tepd
water. Next they are put into a cutter and
mipscd until the mass assumes the appear
aucc Of fine paste. Kept up to the animal
heat as nearly as possible, this paste is then
laid on clean white cloths and placed on
press. In this process the water and softer
PARTICLES flow first into n receiver, then fol-
low the yellow globulcs, which rise to the
surface and are skinned off TO this, skim
med milk is added, and we have "patcnt
