Whatever s man preaches should be w preached as that, in the long run, it will tend to strengthen the iuoral feeling of men, to build it higher. rad to take it more sensitive. It is folly to pretend by heaping up treasures, to arm ourselves against the accidents of life, which nothing can pro- tect us against, but the good providence our Hesveuly Father. Boal breeding is the result of nature, and not of education ; it may be found it a cottage and missed in a palace. It is a general regard Lir the feelings of oth- ers that springs up from the absence of all selfishness. "My Father's house :" It roust be sin pie, for it is God's house. It must be radiantly beautiful, for the Author of beauty resides there. It must be penny nent, for it is the house of the Eternal. it must be peaceful, for the God of peace presides. It must be rich, for the God of limitless resources has furnished it. It must be happy. for no tear stained cheek is there. "I trust everything under God," said Lad Broughton, "to habit.

The Kearaaree steamed away to sea- ward until about nine or ten miles from (the breakwater, when she veered and headed direct for the Alabama. That topped the chaff the buys had been }awing around about her having weak- ened and turned tail and each one seem- ed to realize at last this was to be iso child's play. By this time about three miles intervened between the bellige- rents, which was rapidly being decreas- ed. When within about a mile and a quarter from the Kearsarge the Alabama veered, presenting her starboard broad- side, and opened the hall by firing her 110 -pounder rifle pivot at an elevation for 2,000 yards' range, followed abuse( simultaneously by a whole broadside. The guns were workwl :tad served with the uhuost rapidity, and in a few minutes another broadside was poured in when the Kearsarge, being by this time about S00 yards latent presented her starboard battery, and the firing be- came general. The spirit of carnage had begun to animate the crew, and the de- sire to be upper dog in the fight stirred each man to emulation. A few broad- sides pawed, when the Kearsarge, under full head of steam, forged ahead, steer- ing so as to paw the Alabama's stern and rake her fore and aft, and also got be- tween her and the shore. This maie U- vre was checkmated by a port helm, causing both vessels to move in a circle revolving around a common centre dis- tant from each other about five or six hundred yards. The firing, meantime, contiued with unabated vigor. The stea- dy directness of the tire from the Kear- saage now began to be felt. The 11 - inch shells poured into the ill-fated Alabama with sickening regularity and precision, dealing death and destruction on every hand. Guns were dimounted and their crews decimated by a single shot. Early in the action a shell struck the blade of the fan, breaking it short off and injuring the rudder. Another landed in the engine -room and tore things all to pieces, damaging the machinery, making a hole in the boiler and flooding the stoke -hole with boilin g water. On the deck the prospect was no more cheering. Men dropped dead, cut in twain by shot or shell, while the groans of the wounded, stuck by the crashing and flying splinters, mingled with the muttered curses of the seamen and the hoarse orders or gunners and officers. At 12:30, Mr. Kell had jib and foretop - sails hoisted and attempted to stand in toward shore, distant by this time about five miles. This was prevented by her opponent ranging up and pouring in a ,sting fire of shot or shelL Word was passed aft almost immediately that the vessel was sinking, whereupon a flag of truce was suspended from the quarter and the new officer, Sinclare, sent in a boat' to surrender the vessel. During his absence the whale boat, dingey and three cutters were launched, and prepar- ations made to desert the doomed vessel. Before they could be perfected however, she settled by the stern, her head rising out of the water. The mainmast, which had been already badly shattered by the firing, went by the board, and in a few seconds sufficed to engnlph the shattered hulk of the late scourge of the seas Struggling in the vortex were many of 'ter crew, and the efforts of Sinclair, who had received permission from Captain Winslow to return and rescue the sur- vivors were soon ably seconded by the 1 imperiously. boats of the Deerhound two cutters from with a brooding earnestness that fell the Kearsarge and the two French pilot freezinglv upon his soul, "because then its, who were near the spot.

Long oombiug woollen! sheep, such as Leicester and eotswold, have hitherto been "all the rage Nothing was tau emcee or too long, until cottons enation are now fairly ourted wait wool so cane as to be ht fur little else than owlets. In the desire for heavy mutton the ques- tion of wool has been overlooked. Now we would not for a moment belittle the importance of the mutton feature of the lutetion. Our farmers are conservative, s. e., they don't like the trouble of changing; but let them once be convin- ced that there is money in it, and they should not be slow to change. We sub- mit the following tor their considera- tion: On the one hand, in breeding Leicest- er and Cotswold, we have: Heavy coarse mutton. l L 46 If WOOL ow priced. J On the other, in breeding South - downs, we have: Light, fine flavored mutton. Highpriced. fine wool } In explanation --Coarse wool is now worth 20c. to 23c. per lb., while for Southdown 30c. can easily be had. In fact, English Southdown fleece wool is now selling up 34c. to our Canadian manufacturers. As for the mutton, there has been very little offered for sale; but that little is quickly picked up at a considerable advance over ordinary mutton. For city retail trade there is no comparison in their quality and flavor. For export the demand has been for big fat sheep. There are no Southdown sheep for sale for that pur- pose, but in view of the fancy price of good Southdown mutton in England, it s reasonable to suppose that Canada Southdowns would fetch as good a price. In addition to the foregoing there is to be considered the fact that about three Southdown sheep can be fed and kept in proper condition at the same expense for food and room as two Cotswolds We would not have it understood that we advocate the breeding of Southdowns exclusively. The Oxford Down or some cross might suit better—say Southdown and Leicester. That question is for breeders to decide. But there seems reason to conclude that these big comb- ing-woelled sheep have seen their day, and from an economic point of view it appears in every way desirable that it should be so. Instead of growing wool suitable only for export, and importing wool for manufacturing purposes, let is grow wool that we can use at home— such wool as we will always have a home market for, in spite of any capricious change of fashion. stairs next morning picked up enough rent clothing to stn a pillow -case.

Archdeacon Denison was once closely pressed in at argument, - but had evi- dently resolved to die hard.

The Appetite of bass Chicks. - Many an amateur poultry raiser, aston- ished at the wonderful appetites of young chicks, has asked the question what makes the little things eat so much i A correspeident answers in an exchange : it is because more nuanshment is re- quired to supply feathers than flesh or hair.

Parents should give their children the advantage of a good healthy library, and furnish them with papers that respect the moral. Select the matter for your child ren. Take time, since the whole future of your son or daughter may be directly in the literature you place before them. The writer knows of cases that came un- der his own observation which resulted in great harm, and all the result of read- ing filth. You are interested in the fu- ture of your child—take care of the read- ing matter. There is nothing more in- jurious to the development of the mind and the formation of character in young people than for them to form the habitof reading corrupt literature. it is in such books that the false side of life is given to the young, and they will get the idea that life is not the great, earnest battle which each must fight for himself. It is from what we read that we derive many of our thoughts and ideas, which in- fluence many of our deeds and actions in after life. Tf our reading is purr, the thoughts obtained will likewise be pure ; but if it is degrading in its nature it will pull us down to s level with itself. Melly la Forty-L*gkt Languages.
