The farmers of England are said to
have lost during the year 1873 more than
two millions of sheep from lver-rot, a
disease caused by the development of
flukes in the Sleeps livers. The eggs
from which these Hrlcs are batchc1 sre
said to he always present deposited on
land where aquatic grasses grow and are
in myriads ON land that is flooded, and
sheep kept on such land take them into
their stomachs, where they are hatched
and prey upon the liver, causing what Is
called the rot An English exchange
describes the symptoms Of the disease as
follows:
The first symptoms of rot are not by
any means strongly marked, and the pres
ence OF the disease cannot easily be de-
termined until it has been some time IN
the system. In the early stages the
flukes act simply as an irritant to the Inv
er, stimulating the performance OF Its
functions, in consequence OF which the
animal for n time thrives faster than 1t did
before. But after that period occur
structural changes and weakened func-
tions, and the parasites begin to rob the
sheep of the properties which would
otherwise go to increase the fat and flesh
of its body the blood, deprived OF its
globules and red particles, becomes weak
and wGtery, and unable to sustain the
offices Of life, while the paleness OF the
membranes reveals the presence of the
disease. The sheep lose their cheerful
ness as they begin to sink in condition
the vernilion tint of the skin is replaced
bv pale, dull, unhealthy red the wool
becomes loose, and III later stages begins
to fall off; the inner membranes OF the
eyelils become at first pale and then turn
to yellow the skin becomes flabby and
loose, and dappled with yellow or black
spots, while watery fluid appears to be
situated under it 4; and, lastly, watery
swellings form about the neck and lower
jaw, while cough, quick breathing and
stupor, and rapidly increasing weak
ness and listlessness quickly lead the
way down 10 death.

NY LITTLE WOMAN.

BE SARAH bOlD>tf-
A homoIy cottage, quaint and old,
It's thatch grown thick with green and gO!d
Aud wiEd-sown grasses;
Unchanged il stands in sun and rain,
And seldom through the quiet iane
A footstep passes.
Yet here my little woman dweit
And saw the shroud of Winter melt
From meads and iallows;
And heard the yellow-hammer sing
tiny welcome to the Spring
From budding sallows.
She saw the early morning sky
Blush with tender wild-rose dye
Above the ligches
And watch the crimson sunset burn
Behind the Summer plumes OF Tern
In woodland arches.
Ms Lite woman, Cnle aSay
To tlfsst far land which knows, thes saN-
No more snn-seitiag.
IwonIer If her gentle soul.
Securely resting at the goal,
Has learnt forgetting:
Ms heart wakes up and cries In vain;
Sha gave me love, ! gave her pain
While she was living;
knew not when her spirit fed.
But those who stood beside her SAID
Sae died forgiTing-
Nv dove has found better rest,
And vet love the empty nest
She left neglected
tread the very path she iroi,
And ask.-.n her new home with God
Am expected:
Ii il were but the Fathers Will
To let me know she loves me still,
This aching sorrow
Would turn to hope, and could say,
Perchance she whispers day dy day,
HE comes tomorrow"

And high above the clover plain
The clouds are riven;
Across the fields she used TO know
The irht b-, AXIS. ani the wind sghS low,

" CAN'T es6TAND IT AN
LONGER" ~

The following extract from let
ter written by an insurance man to
gentleman in Nashville, we find
published in the American Of 0cto~
Der 14th: I -
"You ask me to tell you how I view
the political situation. You know i
used to be democrat years ago, but
the fact is am the biggest sort Of q
stalwaIt republican. I adVisedseveTal
OF my friends to buy Tennegsee bonds
several years ago when they were
paying their Interest, and now they
are mighty near worthless, with q bet
ter prospect, so far as / can learn, of
being worth etill less. Several other
friends of mine hold Louisiana and
North and South Carolina bonds is
sued before the war, which are repus
dated entirely or stand in fair way
of being sO-all Of which I think nor
bod questions, Is due to the democ-
rscy. It is mighty tough for man
who has been raised democrat t } adj
NIT these things, but / can't stand 1T
any longer"
There is world of truth in this
paragraph and We thank the Amer
lean for giving it publicity. 1t
shows in a nutshell the democratic
position on the question Of sustain
ing the public faith. And it shows
that business men, are beginning to
appreciate that party's record on
this great question. Everybody
knows that the strength of the
democratic party lies, in the solid
south, and every one Who knows
anything at all about the financial
history of the country, knows that
the leading politicians have made a
bitter and unrelenting fight against
sustaining the public faith. We
are persuaded that there are thou
sands of honest business men in the
country, who, like this insurance
man, have their eyes open to the
real situation, and who, like, him,
''can't stand it any longer. 90 The
grand republican victories just
achieved in Indiana and Ohio, and
the large republican gains in West
Virginia, shows that there are thou
sands there, who "can't stand it
any longer a.
