One of the most common evils in tho caro of sheep, except among tho moro practical flock-masters, is the rough manner in which the sheep are permitted to be handled by the help. Where only a few aro kept, and the children aic allowed to havoan interest in them, a little caro will obviate this. An other v ieious practice is attempting to drive sheep with a cur dog, which is a nuisanco that should never bo tolerated. Have only the "etillest of collies or none ; an untrain ed dog iimnng sheep is only a grado better than a wolf. Cultivate the temper and affection of sheep t i that degree that they will allow you to epproach them and catch them at any time You will find that it pays always to ban. .oir Coik under this subjection. If jour sheep fly from you at jour approach, and jump over any obstacle that may bo in their way in their frantic efforts to escape, make up jour mind that you are not calcu lated for keeping sheep and sell the flock at tho first opportunity. For extra early lambs, if you have a thor oughly warm place for lambing, tho ewes should lie put to tho ram about the first of Octolier. They will then drop their lambs about February first, sinco the average pe riod of ccstation of tho cwo is- about 152 days. Lambs for killing young should not be dropped later than tho first of March, which is alwut the time for all of them to come except a few for extra early lambs. The Mtcr class of hotels is always eager to obtain these very early Iambs at fancy prices if they I really prime. Thus a few of the ewes having been tup ped c irly in September, let the balanco be served during the latter days of September and the first days of October. When breed ins lor mutton it is better to provide a pro per place fur lambing, and have even the lambs intended for ripe mutton come as early as March, since they stand tho winter much K'ticr than later ones. From the tinio the rut-ing season isovcr. the ewes lieing with young, they should he well cared for and provided with a warm bam; if the basement oT a bank barn so much the let ter. This should be at all times kept well littered, and the yard al-n should be care fully eitemie-d to iu this respect. Feed plentv ot sweet hay and a little grain eery .lav . and -alt rrizularlv : in fact let them hav-:i"ccss to salt at all times. Then they w ill take only ju-t what thoy need. If ap ples air plenty, or if you rai-o beets, car rots, ti-rmps "or par-nips, you may feed a!s)ut a nuatt of theso each day per sheep with pr tit. SI. en al-n relish oat straw if bricht and clean . the l-avcs of corn fodder arc also eagerlv -ought after by them. All these should ' supplied if possible, for sheep like a eL.tnir in their food and seem to rel- i-h it more strongly than any other farm stock Care should he taken in feeding r.rain not to feed too strongly at first, and, l.avinir e iMimenccd. not to intermit the feed. Better l sin low and incrca.-o the feed of e rain as 1 tie avinter nrosresses. When the cwo is within three or four weeks of lambins wn should always feed oats if pox-ible. It strengthens the animal wonderfully to undergo the labor that p soon to come and sustain the tax on her svs- tem during parturition. If grain has been fed regularly no fear need bo felt of inflam raatorynetion. If resits hate been previous ly fed do not intermit them, but add the oats in the place of the corn that it is sup- po-ed has been previously fed. This being ob-ervcd nnd due rare having been taken ajrain-t friirhteninir thcm.as previously sue- gested. no fears need be entertained but that tho llock will winter all right, and come out strong with their lambs m the spring liurtil .Yfic Yorker, WINDOW ClKDEMSC. This is nn especially appropriate season of the jrar to make the windows beautiful with plants. There is great pleasure in bringing Spring in-doors by collecting tho floaers vi Inch are now in bloom in the hot bou-e, and planting them in the handsome lioxes or baskets made for that purpose. Window gardening is delightful in winter time . nev crtheless, there tbo hardiest plants suffer moro or less for fresh air. At this time there are hours at noon when the win dows can Ik- thrown open, and the plants which have been housed in green-bouses will apparently speatc their thanks lor tho drink of fresh air and the contact with the sun's rajs. The plants now in blossom aro the hyacinth, narcissus, tulip, dattodil cencmaria, heath, violets, lilies of the val lev. and several other varieties which are charming as companions in the sitting room. Shallow cigar-boxes arc very useful for planting seeds, and can bo arranged to look nicely in the vvindows. In two or three weeks Irom tun time it will be proper to plant mignonette and sweet elysium, tho-o lragrant and most suitablo plants for win-dow-lmxes. The vine seeds should then bo put in the hanging baskets. They arc the mo-t tiaruy vines, tho morning-glory is easily cultivated and is exceedingly grace ful in leaf and flower. It will grow readily in a sunny window, violets, early "lower ing snow-drops, anemones, forget-me-not, and primroses are the best plants for culture in otitsido window boxes.

The rooms were filled by a company of probably tho most chosen among New- l.ngland's illustrious men and women, gathered to MS"gra rival bv searching me out among the crowd with the welcome words : ".Mr. Kmcrson is specially inquiring for you." I soon found myself face to face with a kind, truthful looking man, reminding mo somewhat, in his countenance, of tho late Bobert Owen. After a few words or introductory converse, I ..S ta,:;S!eh next to specially preserved lor me next to Mr. Emerson. Iho afternoon will al- ways 1k memorable to mo. Balph Waldo Emerson commenced by quietly- and unauecicuiy rcauing.iuaeii.-ai uim-uiu-. . voice, his new poem on " The Tea-party 1 Centennial." His manner was s.i gentle ( that he seemed only reading it to one per son, and yet his voice was so distinct that it filled the room in its lowest tones When Mr. Emerson cca-ed reading, a little to my surprise, and much to my delight, I was called upon to speak. Twenty-six years bo foie, when too poor to buj- n liook, I bad copied out parts of the famous lecture uu " Selt-Beliant-c," and now 1 stood in the presence of the great preacher, at lea-t an example of a self-reliant man After my tribute of re-pectful and earnestly thank ful wurdsto Emerson as one ot the world's teachers, I could not refrain from using tl c spirit of bis lines to ground a comparison between the public opinion of l!i-ton in 1773 and lb73.

Pre Ciiniairnt on the Ilfalli of Niinmrr. All the city journals havecommcnts upon the death of Sumner. The N. Y. l'l Liin;, Vast says : He was always the great anti-slavery Senator. He never forgot his convictions of the suprema cy of human rights over laws and Constitu tion. Hp never abandoned his devotion to umicr-al human liberty. He never allow ed any succestions of mere expediency to dttlect him Ironi the one end and aim ol his life the emancipation and enfranchisement of 1,000,01X1 or people. Mr. Sumner was a gentleman or great refinement and culture ; a rare scholar, fully furnished with ancient and modern lore ; a student of art in nearly all its departments ; an orator of equal vigor and gracefulness ; a Uwjer of no little dis tinction ; and ho might have achieved suc cess in many walks of intellectual exertion, but his ardent, profound, irrepressible moral impulses prevailed over all his other tendencies and made him what we havo already called him the great champion of right and freedom on thctloorof tho Senate It was there he encountered his dangers, there he won his triumphs ; and there that he may almost tc said to have dird. His namo is woven with the same immortal wreath which binds the brow of tho redeem ed and regenerated republic." From the ?i. V. Time. No common loss has fallen upon the coun try in the death of Charles Sumner. A man of vast acquirements, high ability, distin guished services to humanity, large expe rience in publ.c aiTairs, his lamo was mure than national. As scholar, statesman, and philanthropist he was known in all civilized lands, and was everywhere regarded as an honor to his country. He was ever lore most in tho defence or the Tundamental prin ciples of freedom, to which his life was de voted, and there was reason to believe that occasions might ari-e in the future when ho might add to his already heavy load of hon ors, llisprc-cnce in affairs was yet needed at home ; it was still looked upon abroad as illustrating the highest phase of American public file. He took an active interest in tho problems of tho present, and bis aid would have been oT great value in their so lution. His death, at the comparatively early ago of sixty-three, mu-t therefore be regarded as a public calamity. From the N V. Tribune. The most dignified, illu-triousnamo which j Purccll on the women's temperance move the Senate has in recent years borne unon ment. He docs not in nnrn terms mndrmn its rolls has disappeared Irom them forever, Charles Sumner has not only left no equal 1 in the capitol ; he has carried away with i him the traditions of that profound and scholarlv statesmanship which the world was once accustomed to associate with the name of Senator. We havo hut a slender ' hope that Massachusetts will send to tho ! Senate any representative which will not i seem insignificant beside the august shade which now does her such infinite honor. If not from Massachusetts, certainly from n quarter is any hand stretched forth to catch , the torch which drops from the failing grasp , of the great athlete fallen by the way. Few- , lives in history are so spotless or s,i consist- cnt. Hislame isas stainless as that of any ' hcrool romance. He never betrayed a prin- ciple or avoided the expression ol a cnmV- tion. For ns who have had only words of i.oiiorsnu reverence lor nun w ono ne men, our only i"ire now i. in loroe.ir llolu hit overpraise w hi.-h comes from a proud and loving sorrow, ivu eulogv is needed now. The malice which ranie from envv will lie disarmed by death, and bis fame vviil be safe in the kce'j.iug of ihe country he served so purely. From the n.iou Advertiser. The death of Charles Sumner removesono f the ereatmen of the nation, indirinir him : by the place he has held in the public view fiir nearly thirty .years, and thciiiUuenceho hns had durine the cnater part cT this i.e- i riod in the public lire of the country. Many ! circumstances, st'.tl lni-l.lv remembered have in late cars e-.imbiiieii to break the strong Lola upon its eouhdence which his ' early unit eoiiniircous championship In the ( antl-s!avnry conlli.'t g-ivo hnu. cw men and uulamiliar infit.nes. came into power Willi Die close ol the h-.t, men wltti whom 1-c had nothing in euiiiuioii, actuated by motives with which ho had little sympathy", or which ho failed to estimate at their true value. Justly proud of his position, and inflexible in his own opinions of public poli cy and public duty, be cxpeetevi deference which was nut accorded to him, and, after repeated disappointments, was left almost alone in the body of which he was, with hardly an exception, the oldest member in the service, excluded from positions ol hon or and influence to which he wasclearly en titled by length of service, and by the ex ceptionally pure and elevated character ha had Isirnii throiiohout his public career. The breaking up ol close political relations of many years, and the angry and bitter controversy which followed, shadowed his later years, and robbed him of his just re cognition. But he has left an houorahle and, in many respects, a brilliant record which, it is no presumption to say, will pre serve his fah-e when the stormy scenes in which he took part have become a tradition, and the asperities of his later vcars are quite forgotten.
