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." “Tin* Wanaxcuiciit ot Nlifcji in the Mouth. “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 - —Tf* * ♦ Farm nrl .

Th plan of clearing out fence corners has not only the ml vantage .if preserving the fence hut gives a more thrifty ami be tier app. 'alum',' to the fiekl. The brims and bushe- in the oornern of the fence no doubt detraet much from the soil and injure the crop near tie* fence.
