Put away the little coal -hod that our darl- ing wants to paint, For she fain would decorate It with devises queer and quaint); Imide the dustpan and the washtub, and likewise mho garden hose, Or Matilda will adorn them with the lily and the rose, When our Bridget in tho morning gots the wooden chopping -bowl, To concoct the Morning corned' beef hash it voxes to hof soul To behold a wreath of pansies whore aho most trust but and slash ; Si she scrapes it off, boenuso tho paint night penetrate the ]rash. On the household rolling pin is tied a pretty yellow bow ; And its lilies of the valley oft commingle with the dough ; While the now potatremasher and tho kit. then pans and pots Are magnificent with butterflies and sweat for-got.me-note. All our articles of furniture, the ancient and tiro new, Aro resplendent quite with drapery and bows of brightest hue ; In the house we look about with mingled sorrow and amaze. For Matilda is affected with the decorative 011120. THE CHBONIO GROWLER. He growls about his boarding place, Ho growls about his bed Be growls about most everything— Wants something else instead. Ho growls about his laundryman, He growls about his tailor : He growls about the fit of things Like Jack Tar board a whaler. He growls about tho daily news, He growls because it's new, He growls about an article That doesn't suit his view. Ho growls about his daily work, He growls because it's labor ; He growls booauso be's not born rich, As was his next door neighbor. He growls because ho has no wife; He growls about the ladies ; Ho growls about the style they wear— Consigns them all to Hades. 13 o growls when lto to theatre goes, Ho growls about the seats, Ho growls about the play again To every one he meets. He growls about a legacy, He growls because 'tie small; He ;Howls as if it was his right That bo should get it all. He growls about the Holy Writ; Be growls because ho can ; Ho growls because he's bound to growl, He's ouch a cranky man. Sam Junes' Aphorisms. We aro in no position to help or hurt the church until we are inside it. The trouble with the Church is that it 1e a vast Hospital ; it takes all the well ones to take care of the sick Cn05. You can help your preacher, in- stead of everlastingly calling on your preacher to help you. Nobody ever went to sleep indiffer• ent to religion and waked up in heal, en. There is nothing better in heaven than religion. Our 'lotions of today are the thoughts of yesterday. If yon live in impure thoughts you will be impure in your lives. A truthful woman is the grandest adornment of a home. Secrets have ruined many a girl. I want to see our young girls grow up better women than our mothers and wives are. A child is loved by God, became) it has no opinions and wants to learn something. The man who will break ono of God's commandments habitually and continually, if you will turn him -loose, will break them all. Profanity is more or less a profes- sion of your loyalty to the Devil. Many it man in this town's going to hell as a Sabbath-kreakex, and goes about bragging all the time what a good Sunday wo have had here in Toronto. ,You show me a man who keeps the Sabbath Day holy, and I'll show you a man that's a Christian all the week. Dishonesty in the Church is really Crippling the Church more than any thing else. It's got so now that if you steal. $5 they'll put you in gaol, but if you steal $10,000 they'll pall you a col- onel I believe a blackleg .gambler is a gentleman beside a church member who speculates in Blocks and futnree. A church that can't do anything but keep itself straight is a failure. I never hoard yet of a committee asking for a preacher that 1s populav with God Al' eighty.

Find mo a man preparing himself to bear the Gospel, and I can allow you a man that fe goiug to bo bone. fitted by the Gospel It takes a cold pow to make a cold pulpit, Pin a pooultar follow ; I do love my wife. Elm into Heaven barefooted and bareheaded rattler than miss it oil account of anything in the world. Don't got into anybody's way with your naturalness, but try to be your- self wherever you gu. When a heart 19 ohuolc full of error, there is no room in there for the truth. The infidelity that hurts is the in. fidelity of the luau who makes out he's on God's side, and then tvoo't live up. If we're right we can't bo hurt by the truth, and it we ain't right we ought to bo hurt righteously. WORTH READING. When thou forgivest au enemy thou obtainest the more friends. By too muoh pardoning thou wilt make the fool winked. Ho to whom more is granted than is right wishes morn than is permitt- ed. Each day is a disciple of the last One. Whenever there is need of aid, to reproach is to injure. Do not speak but think ill of an enemy. To deliberate in useful matters is the safest delay. Grief diminishes when it has noth• mg whereupon to feed. Women have learned to woep even when they mean it not. Discord makes peace tho mora de- sirable. The ear must bo unwilling to listen to accusations. While life is pleasant 1t is. the best condition for death. Gain with ill•reputs must be called loss. Wisdom is learned by deliberation. THE SHROPSHIRE SIUiEI.'. Tho Shropshire sheep descended from a breed which has been known to exist for about two centuries in the County of Shropahrre, and part of the' adjoining one of Stafford, but no at- tempt at its improvement seems to have been made until within the last half century, since when it has re- ceived greater attention from the more extensive farmers on time culti- vated districts of the country. The present developed perfection and uni- formity of oharaeter is the result of improvement by selection from the best of its own species, and notfrom The . introduction of any other breed. Seine breeders have tried an infusion of the Southdown blood, but the re. milt was a total failure, the produce being animals of a nondesoript char- aoter, and had to be entirely removed from the flocks practised upon. For several years the breed was called or known by the name of ''Grey -faced sheep," and it was not until the year 1850 that it was distinguished by the title of "Shropshire," mho name being given them by the writer of these re• marks who evinced great interest in the breed, and assisted the owners generally in obtaining uniformity and developing the inherent perfections of the sheep, also in providing ti class for their exhibition at the meetings of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, whore, at Gloucester, in the year 1868, they made a successful debut. Tho Shropshire has exter- minated all other breeds of sheep in the counties of Salop and Stafford, and many other parts of the adjoin- ing districts, and has boon adopted by tenant farmers generally in the midland counties of England. Sev- eral flocks have also been established in Ireland, where it thrives remark- able well as a breed, and is also used for crossing purposes. Foremost among its patrons in that country are J. L L, Napor, of Longher- en, who has been most successful at the meeting of the Royal, both in England and Ireland ; Mr. Lambert of Brew Park, and Marquis of Head - fort. It has also been most success- fully introduced into Scotland, where some fine flocks are now being bred by the Earl of Strathmore, Mr. Craw- ford, Lord Polwarth and other outer. prising agriculturalists, and from its highly profitable and rent -paying qualities, it is certain to rival, if not entirely supersede, most other breads, where the production of drgt•eless mutton and wool at an early age is a desideratum. It is a recognized fact that the Shropshire is hardy of con- stitution. and prolific ; the fall of lambs averaging about 160 por cent. The ewes aro good nurses, and a web kept floolt will average 0 clip of Wool, of the hest quality adapted to general purposes, of about eil;ht ponds por fleaeo, and wothors at fourteen months old will produce a oaruasa of mutton weighing eighty pounds and upward, free of offal, 14 ie also acknowledged that the Shropshire is a light con- sumer, with groat posers of arillni• lati'in, +irrivett at early maturity, ran• dere a heavy amount of flesh in pro- portion to rough offal, and ttmt ire rnutum (:allot be excelled in value by that of any other sheep. Tho l,;rrateA determiuntton and spirit is exercised by the loading it oolc man ters to main lain the high aharltater of their sheep, having hired rams for a Beeson at Dame varying from 40 to 250 ;palette, and purchased them in some inotanoeo for as much as 500 guineas. Ewes from noted finks have also beau purcllaiad n1 auras reaching to 80 guineas each, and when itis remembered that these high prices are given by mon who breed fur profit and not for foamy on- ly, and whoseselections aro backed by sound judgment, it is an indisput- able criterion that no moans are being spared to make the Shropshire the most profitable, popular and perfect of all broads of sweep.

A- few days ago apple:iliva was made to the prothonotary at Sum- mersido, P.E I., not to grant a li- cense to a boy between fifteen and sixteen years of ago, un the ground that ho was being entrapped or frightened into a marriage.

These are, Mellott, the Eagle Pass murderer, Ah Buoy, a Chinaman, for the murder ofafollow- countryman, and Derose, Connelly and Maxwell, for the murder of Dill - man, near Lytton. In the case of Mellott instructions have been re• waived from Ottawa that the law must take its course. Chas. Aylwin, a well connected young farmer of Ottawa county, was found dead in bed at an Aylmer hotel last Saturday morning. He had sold his property some time since for a good figure wtth the intention of going to the Northwest, but had reck- lessly spent the money, some $1,500 of it being stolen from him.
