When far away from home and friends So dearly loved ami tender, With yearning hearts, to saddened thoughts Our minds we oft surrender ; And as in fancy each dear face And scenes loom up before us, We earnest pray, God speed the day That will to them restore us. How wearily the time rolls on When from our friends we're parted ! Though oft we try to don a smile And feint to be light-hearted, Our mirth is but a mask we wear, Concealing on our faces The grief we feel when far removed From first-loved friends and places. A ccording tn the returns of the Department of Agriculture, the direct losses of sheep owners by the ravages of dogs reach a million dollars annual ly in wool and mutton ; and the indi rect loss in the repression of sheep husbandry, and the consequent waste of a large percentage of the grass crop is still larger. Reports from 500 counties, representing one-fourth of the sheep of the United States, show a total of 79,285 sheep killed during 1874 ; and even these returns are not complete. In some of the States the loss is from four to eleven per cent, of the whole value of the sheep kept. In this State the loss is comparatively small, though larger than it ought to be. This should not bear against dogs generally, but only “sheep dogs,” a tribe without ancestry, blood or the meanest kind of pedigree. Any one ought to tell a sheep dog at a glance. They occupy the same status among the canine race that the “hang-dog man” does among homos. Oregonian Pocahontas Tribe No. 1.

Mr. Tuttle reports that he set this turkey on sev enteen eggs, and in due time she ush ered into the world seventeen young turkey chicks, which was sufficient glory for one turkey. But In addition to this exemplary conduct she had laid one egg each day that she had been setting, and when the seventeen chicks were removed had twenty-seven in process of incubation. And now she brings out one chick every day, and still continues to lay her daily eggs, causing her lucky owner to be lieve that she must have swallowed a perpetual motion machine, or a “Keeley” motor. T he K ind of L ead in P encils .— The ‘«lead” in lead pencils is not lead at all, though it ¡9 called “black lead.” The weight, if nothing else, tells you that. It is a mineral, called graphite, (from the Greek word to write,) and is more nearly related to coal than to lead. You have learned that both coal and diamond are forms of the ele ment carbon. Graphite is still another shape in which carlxm is found ; it usually contains a very little iron. Plumbago is another name for it. It cannot be melted, but at a very high heat will burn. The fine kinds are very scarce.

Boil the water and butter; while boiling, stir in the flour, cool it thoroughly, then stir in the eggs one at a time without beating and add one teaspoonful of cold water and a little salt. H e had a very promising boil be tween the shoulder-blades, and his wife who was young and beautiful and could play on the harp, but hadn’t nursed much in the hospitals, put a mustard plaster on it. A lawyer subsequently explained to him that they didn’t grant divorces for such causes in this State. , ■ ■Hl,«. . ■ # » I! ■ 1 ■■ , „ I n Woonsocket, Rhode Island, they have “ mosquitoes of the genuine Cemerara (West Indies) species,striped like a zebra, with ears the size of a mule’s, and with a bill two and three- quarter, or three and a quarter inches long—or thereabout.” . !!■»■— I » ■!
