Sheep.


No animal, among the many species
utilized by man, is more generally Gull
tivated than sheep. From the Tropical
to the Arctic regions, they thrive, and
furnish their breeders with capital food,
aud universal material for clothing.
They are the most economical animals
to raise, living and thriving best, where
scarcely any other could subsist. The
amount OF care necessary to be be-
slowed upon them is small, yet the re-
turns from u we'll conditioned flock, are
very large. In newly settled countries,
they form the most available nucleus to
other branches of stock breeding and
farming, particularly is the fact mott
ceable in Australia, New Zealand, and
California. These countries are blest

grasses and other vegetable growths,

augmented in due proportion to the
care given the handling of it, The

districts, where they are subjected to
many foot diseases, suffer from an
abundance of insects, and are the prey
OF wild BEASTS. Everywhere else how

Manhood, whether among ministers

thoroughly himself. He never drama

conceit. But il he has the basis OF an
honest and truth-loving nature. re will
have power. II he makes mistakes, he
does not exalt them into virtues. He
is not ashamed Of his heart. He can
confess weakness and error. But al
ways his inner self. with all struggles
aud failures, comes to the surface; and
all who hear him and see him, will
know they have no failures nor strug

experience in the breast OF their lead

called his sons about him and said:

which the old man had made out,
and instead Of going a.fshing, they
went down to n lawyers office, called
meeting of the stockholders and
proceeded to business. The first
born was elected President, Reuben

Some people estimate the ability
Of u periodical and the talent OF
its editor by the quantity OF its
original matter. 1t is compare,
lively un easy task for % frOthy
writer to string cut column OF
words upon any and all subjects.
His IDEAS may flow in one weak,
wasly, everlasting flood, and the
command of his language may
enable him to string them together
like punches of onions, and yet
his paper may be but meager and
poor concern. Indeed, the mere
writing part of editing paper is
but small portion of the work.
The care, the time employed in
selecting is far more important and
the fact Of good editor is better
shown By his selections than
anything else ); aud that, we
know, is half the battle. But,
We have said, an editor ought to be-
estimated, his labor understood and
appreciated, by the general conduc,
OF his papcr-its tone, its uniform,
consistent course, aims, manliness,
its dignity and propriety. To pre-
serve these as they should he pre-.
served is enough to occupy fully the
time and attention of any man. IL
to this be added the general super.
vision of the details of publication
which most editors have to encoun-
ter, the wonder is how they find
time to write at all.-Henry Waiter.

newspaper is hard to build up, but
it - propor;ionately difficult to pull

that it depends on thousands of
