will be found the original Of tho

sheep are tall. with white wool In

and forehead. The Lincolnshire
sheep are more like those OF l.eices-
ter. but heavier In the fleece, coarser
and more fitted for life In the
marshes. They have, perhaps. tho
most intelligent faces of any sheep
but the refined South Downs. We

where my father used to live, that
fifteen soldiers were wanted.
1.-The training band was instantly
called out and my brother that was
next older than was one that was
selected. He did not return till late
at night, when we were all in bed.
When rose In the morning found
my mother in tears, who informed me
that my brother John was to march
next day after tomorrow ut sunrise
My father was In Boston in the Massa-
chusetts assembly.
"Mother said that though John
was supplied with summer clothes ho
must suffer for winter garments.
There was at this time no stores and
no articles to be had, except such as
each family could make ITSELF Tho
sight of mothers tears always brought
all the hidden strength OF body and
mind into action. | instantly asked
what garment was needed. She re-
piled, .Pantaloons.' oh, II that is
all, said !, we will weave and spin

said mother, the wool is on tho
shcop's back, and the sheep are in
the pasture
II Immediately turned to a younger
brother and babe him take the salt
dish and call them to tho yard
"Mother replied: Poor child, there
are no sheap sheers within three
miles and half

loom, said |.
"'But you can't spin and weave it
In SO short a time
81 am certain we can. mother
"'How can you weave it! There
is u long web Of linen in the loom
by this time the sound Of the
sheep made INC quicken my steps
toward the yard L requested my
sister to bring the wheel and cards

Of the fleece.

writer would abridge by saying that
the wool thus obtained was duly
carded, spun, washed, sized and dried.
