Revival in the Sheep Interest.

There are at present more calls for the names of raisers of pure-blood sheep, than for a long time. A short time ago, a gentle- man wished to know where he could pur- chase several car joads of the best Merinos, mostly rams for shipment to the Southwest Not only is there a revival as regards the number of sheep to be raised, but a strong tendeney to grow only those of the best breeds. The ‘‘ boom” in sheepraising, as the slang of the day has it, is a healthy one and one to be encouraged, moreover it seems likely to last for an indefinite period of time.--- American Agriculturist

Learning to Sew.

To be handy with the needie, is one of the sterling aceomplishments of every educated woman. Tobe able to take the ‘‘stitch in time,’ is worth all the time and trouble that are required tolearn the art. Like walking, reading, and the many other things which we come to do without special thought, the learn- ing to sew is a slow process, and sliould be

b gun while the child is still young. The girl should not only have the use of the thread, neadles, and patchwork, but be in-

structed how to take the stitches, turn the corners, and do the varioas things connected with needle-work. We are not excluding the boys in our remarks, because they need. to learn to thread a needle, and do general sew- ing. Menare many times so sitwated, that they must depend upon themselves for their necessary sewing. Ever if it is an age of sew-

ing .machines, 16 is best that all children should learn to use the simple, common o'd

fashioned kind, which can never be wholly superseded. The amusement and occupation that sewing furnishes little folks, afiord sufti- cient reason why all mothers should see that their girls, and boys too, learn to sew—but the very practicaluse of the needle in after life, is the principal thing after all.-—A meri- can Agriculiurist.

pe . Sitting Up With Her.

She was expecting him on Sunday night and the parlor curtains were down, tlie old folks notified that it was healthyto go to bed at eight o'clock, and Johnny bribed with a cant, permits himself to be tucked away at sundown. He sneaked up the patch, one eye on the dog, and the other watching for the ‘* old man,” who didn’t like him any too well, gave a faint knock at the door, and it was opened and he was escorted into the parlor. He said he couldn’t stay but a minute. She wanted to know how his mother was ; if his father had returned from York State ; if his bro- ther Bills rheumatism was any better ; and he went over and sat down on the sofa, so as not to strain his voice. The conver sation flaged, and he played with his hat and she nibbed at the sefa tidy. He finally said it was a beautiful evening, and she re- plied that her grandfather predicted a snow storm. He said he guessed it wouldn’t snow as the incon wasn’t crooked enough to hang a powder horn on the end, and she said she didn’t believe it would either. This mutual understanding seemed to give each other courage, and he wanted to know if she had seen Bill Jones lately. She hadn’t she said, and she didn’t want to. ‘Then they went on talking about the donation visit which was te be given to Elder Berry, and he carelessly dropped his hand on hers—his right hand, while his left arm sneaked along the sofa and got behind her shoulders. She pretended not to notice it, and he looked down at his boots, and wanted to know if she thought mutton tallow rotted out boots faster than lard and lampblack. She couldn’t say, but she had an idea that it did. He had com- menced to lock fingers with her, when she discovered something ailed the lamp. She rose up, and turned the light down a half, making the room look dim. It took him five minutes to get hold of her fingers again, and she preten Jed to want to draw her hand away all the time. After a long pause he lowered his voice to a whisper, and said he didn’t see what made folks love each other. She bit her haadkerchief and He said that he could name a dozen young men who were going to get married right away, and his lett arm fell down and gave her a hug. Ah, me! We have all been there, and who of us cared a cent when the old clock struck twelve, and we five miles from home /

Signor Carlandi claims that Shakespeares Roman dramas form a trilogy, in which the principal object is not human passion, but | the grand figure of Rome. In ‘ Coriolanus’ | we have Rome in her youth, full of fierce energy and a prey to factions arising from caste. In ‘* Julius Cxsar’ the struggle for "supremacy between rival leaders menaces Rome's prosperity. In ‘Antony and

‘Cleopatra’ personal egotism prevails, and the sentiment of patriotism has almost died ‘away. 4
