Th damp* of death are coming fast,
My fatrur’s oVr my brow;
Thopast with all its scenes has lied,
And I must turn me now
To that din) future, which in vain
My feeble eye® deny,
Tell tne, my father, in this hour,
In whose’stern faith to die.
In thine? I’ve watch.*d the scornful smile
And hour*l t hey withering tone,
Whene'er tie* Christian's humble hope
Was placed above thine own;
I’ve hoard thoc sneuk of coming death
Without a sluule of gloom.
And laugh at all the childish fears #
That cluster round the tomb.
Or is it my mot Inn \s faith ?
How fondly do 1 trace,
Through many a weary year long past,
That calm and saintly face!
How often do I call to mind,
Now she is ’iieaih the otl.
The place, tho hour, in which she drew
My early thoughts to God.
’Twus then she took this savtvil book,
And from its burning page.
Read how its truths support the soul
In youth and falling age;
And bade me in its precepts live,
And by its precepts die,
That I might share a home of love
In worlds beyond the sky.
My father, shall 1 look above
Amidst this gathering gloom,
To Him whose promises of love
Extend beyond the tomb ?
Or, curse the Being who hath blessed
This checkered path of miue,
And promises eternal rest.
Ana die, my sire, in thine J
The frowns upon that warrior brow
Passed like a cloud away,
And tears coursed down the rugged check.
'That flowed not till that day.
“Not, not, i& mine.” with choking voice,
Tne skeptic made reply;
“But, in tky mother's lady faith.
My daughter, may’st thou die."

“Will it pay ? " This is u question’
that is very frequently asked of indi
viduals una in Agricultural papers,
as sheep are, and have been managed
by our runners, I unhesitatingly an-j
swer the question, it will not pay. 1
will show you how they arc managed
by Southern planters, a • lias come j
under the observation of the writer,
at different times.
Sheep have been considered as a
useless appendage of tin* farm. A
planter will procure a number of
sheep, and they will be turned upon
the lands he has lying out, or resting
as it is called, whereupon the scanty
inisturage they barely eke out a mis
erable existence until the crop is
gathered. Then turned upon the
cultivated lands to hunt the stray
cotton bolls destroyed by the frost.
If the planter has left a few peas in
his corn-fields, they will improve
somewhat in Hush until tin* Helds are
fully gleaned. They are then turned
tinoti the broom-e dge lands, and
those who commenced the winter in
good order, may possibly survive
until th eg ms- begins to sprout out
in the spring. But the most **r the
flock will perish during the sleets,
snows, and cold rains in winter.
During the winter they will li*‘
around the fodder-stacks penned in
the Helds, and sadly gaze at the fod
der until they die by starvation.
This reminds me of an anecdote of a
large planter in flu* State, who was j
boastingof the large amount of corn
he had made, ami had on liaud. On* 1
of his neighbors, standing by. said it
was all true, but all his mules had I
gone blind peeping through the
cracks in his corn evil), and precious
little of it came to their shun*.
But to the main question. Will
sheep raising pay V The answer is
obvious to anyone with this kind T
treatment they will not. You will
raise a few lambs, but as many of the ,
old and feeble ones will die. Then
where is the proof of it? Two or
tiiroe pounds of wool t<> each sheep,
the balance hanging on tin* splinters
in the fence corners and on the
thorns in the woods, or tlm briars in
tie old fields, where they arc forced
to go in search of sustenance t<> pre
vent starvation.
In my next, I will try to prove to
your readers that sheep raising will
pay. D

iiiK itfon tlie crops. The htilnt of
clearing out fence corners tins aim* >st
beeome obsolete, and yon may ride
many miles in the country without
aeiTrig many fence corners cleaned

corners has not only the ml vantage .if
preserving the fence hut gives a more

oornern of the fence no doubt detraet
much from the soil and injure the

fence corners cleared out and the
