sheep on Ihe Farm,

Every farmer should keep a flock Of
| sheep, and no man should call himself Il
thorough farmer unless he owns a flock
Of sheep. There are many reasons why
sheep should be on all Western farms, a
few of which [ viii give. Any farmer
can keep a flock Of sheep-half as many
as acres Of land-if he receives nothing
but the manure they distribute, and the
rough weeds and briers they destroy
Every farmer ought 20 keep sheep, that
he may have good healthy fresh mutton
| during the hard work Of our long hot
summers. Every farmer should keep
sheep, that we may rot have 10 import
even from the Eastern States any wooden
goods (And right here, word on an
other subject: don't sell your wool to spec
ulatOrs, bat to manufacturers, and give
enough encouragement to manufacturers
to excite compettiOn.) / can tell farm
where sheep are not kept, by the growth
of rough weeds and bricrs in the pasture !;
By the weeds and briers growing in the
fence corners, by the irregular growth Of
corn and wheat on the farm generally.
and the presence of cockieburrs aud
thistles. The last Is not always the rule,
but farmers generally ike to carry good
produce to market, and bury wool is
liable to heavy deduction.
Hilly lands, by all means, should be
well stocked with sheep. On a hill pas
ture, sheep stop the washing Of gulIies,
and clover will grow on clay hills with
sheep on them, that will keep bare with
out them On black, heavy land the
manure and tramping Of sheep have a
tendency to tighten the soil. If any
farmer has either clay hills OF heavy
black land that can be plowed, by in
closing them and putting on all the sheep
they will bear he will soon be convinced
that the above is fact.

Mind, in this speech have been trying
merely to do honor to the New Eng
land weather-no language could do it
justice. But, after all, there is at least
one or two things about that weather
Tor, if you please, effect produced by it),
which we residents would not like to
part with. If we hadn't our bewitch
ing autumn foliage, we should still have
which cOmpensates for all its bullying
vagaries-the ice-storm-when a leaf
less tree is clothed with ice from the
bottom to the tOp-iee that is as bright
and clear as crystal; every bOugh and
twig is strung with ice-beads, frozen
dew-drOps, and the whole tree sparkles
cold and white, like the shah of Persia's
diamond plume. Then the wind waves
the branches, and the sun comes out
and turns all those myriads of beads
and drops to prisms, that glow and flash
with all manner of cOlored fires, which
change and change again with incon
ceivable rapidity-from blue to red,
from red to green, and green to gold :
the tree becomes spraying fountain,
a very explosion of dazzling jewels;
and it stands there the acme, the eli
max, the supremest possibility, in art
or nature, of bewildering, Intoxicating,
intolerable magnificence! One cannot
make the words too strong. Month
after month, l lay up hate and grudge
against the New England weather; but
when the ices storm comes at last, say !;
"There-I forgive you nOw-the books
are square between US, you don't owe
me cent: go, and sin no more your
little faults and foibles count for moth
ing-yOu are the most enchanting
weather in the world ~

She was gone
The last breath came and went. The
gaze WAS transfixed. The spirit re-
" he closed her eye-lids, and with
breaking heart left the body of his be-
loved that it might be made ready for
burial.
1t was a great, great, change which
her death made in his home. He bore
up under it through the excitements of
the days which Immediately followed
the sad event, and then, when the
house was again quiet and the old rOut-
inc of life was resumed, gave way.
The sense of loss was almost greater
than he could bear.
The sold routine" did | say? There
was little or none of the "old." 1t was
all dreadfully new. The light was put
out, and the once bright and CHEEKY
home was left in darkness. Where
was she who used to hang upon his
neck when the hour of morning depart
ure came, sending him forth into the
world with her sweet breath of bless
ingG
Gone!
Where was she who watched for his
coming step at night and received him
with an embrace which was refresh
ment in itself, brushing away with one
touch as it were all the remembrance of
care and worry and trial and disappoint-
ment with which the day had encrust-
ed him
Gone
How the word echoed through the
silent house! Gone, and nothing left
but the memory of her. Gone, not for
week, nor Il month, nor for n year
what mercy it would be if he could
think of her returning in one year, or
even in five years, or ten but no !;
gone forever. Gone, and all opportu-
nifty of love and ministry at an end.
The house remained Yes, and
there were the pictures on the walls,
and the books in the bookcases, and
the evening paper, damp and fresh.
The servants came and went. The fire
burned in the CRATE. The clock licked
on. The body of the once joyous life
was all here, but the soul was out of it,
And what was the body of that life
without its soul
Poor aching heart! Who could en-
ter into his sOrrow2 Friends tried to
comfort him, but there was little in
their comfort. They knew nothing
about it. They had never been where
he was; they could not pat themselves
in his place. 1t was wel!-meant talk,
but idle-their words of consolation.
oh if the old days could only come
back If he could only take her again,
as he had taken her IA dozen years be-
fore, to love and to cherish, to walk
with her once more over the nath fba,-
had trodden together! If he might on
ly make amends where he had fallen
short, and call back what had been re-
pented of, and put unselfshness i'm the
place of selfishness, and patience in
place OF peevishness, and thoughtful
ness in place of thOughtlessnessl If he
could only undo some things he had
done, and do some things he had left
nndOnel
But no; she was gone.
