A SPRING POEM.

BY A. B. WILLIAMS, ATTORNEY
Whereas on certain boughs and sprays
Now divers birds are heard to sing,
And sunGry flowers their heads upralse-
Hail to the return of spring.
The songs of those said birds arouse
The mem'ry of our youthful hours;
As green as those said sprays and boughs,
As fresh and sweet as those said flowers.
Oh! busiest term of Cupid's court,
Where tender plaintiffs action bring
Season of frolic and ofspOrt-
Hail, as aforesaid, coming spring.

Encouraging Sheep Raising.

The Farmers Reuieo says: The in.
crease of the worlds wool crop dur.
ing the last decade is immense, and
yet it has not exceeded the require.
ments of the race. The great variety
of fabrics made from wool, and the
Overwhelming demand for them,
leave very little room to fear that
wool growing will soon be overdone.
The English nation consumes vast
quantities of mutton annually, the
amount eaten, if our recollection is
not at fault, as shown by statistics,
being greater than that of beef con-
sumcd. Be that as it may, mutton
is held to be the healthiest of all
meats, and the British people have
long cultivated sheep husbandry for
the production of choice mutton
Then again, our own people are con.
Stunning more mutton now than they
have ever used before, and as its
healthfulness, as compared with pork,
becomes more generally known, home
consumption of mutton will enlarge.

Cinnamon Buying wives.

A Chinaman, when anxious 10
have a wife Of his own nation, sends
letter to an agent in Hong Kong.
A reporter has one Of these epislles,
but it is practically impossible to
translate it into English. The fol-
lowing, however, is condensed
translation: II want a wife. She
must be a maiden under 20 years Of
age, and must not have left her faith
er's house. She must also have new.
er read book, and her eyelashes
must be half an inch in length
Her teeth must be as sparkling as
the pearls of Ceylon. Her breath
must be like unto the scents of the
magnificent odorous groves Of Java,
and her attire must be from the silk
en- weavers Of Ka-Li.Ching, which
are on the banks Of the greatest river
in the world-the ever flowing Yang
tse.Kiang." The price of Chinese
women, delivered in Sydney, is 93S;
but two Chinese women only cost
952. Therefore, the heather Chinese
import the womenin couples. The
importer never sees his women before
they arrive, and then he generally
selects the best looking one. The
other is shown round to a number of
well-to-do Chinese, and after they
have inspected her she is submitted
10 what may be called public auction.
The writer happened to be present
at one Of these sales. A young girl,
aged about 10, was offered, and after
some spirited biddings she was pur.
chased by a wealthy Chinese store
keeper, whose place of business is in
one of the leading towns Of New
South Wales, for 9120. The melan-
choly aspect Of the celestial girl as
she went away in company with the
man who purchased her was deplora.
