My long and extensive practice as Auc- tioneer has enabled me to judge the value of Farm Stock with an accuracy second to none in the County, and this is of import- ance as it the Auctioneer is not a good judge of the value of Stock he may soon lose far more than his fee in any sale.

EAVEN'S WHISPERS, Lying upon such a bed asonly the starving poor ever know'of--in such a bleak, gloomy and ghostly room as the poorest of God's children in- habit, a girl of ten looked out through the cracked and dusty panes at the great white moon ris- ing up from its bed so far towards eternity that man has never discov: ed its location, Was she ten or thirty ? ono could hardly have told in the dusky room lighted only by the rays of the moon --Heaven's own lamp. The fingers were so loug and thin that you would have shuddered. Tho face was so pale that your thoughts would have gone back to some dark evening when you trem- blingly skirted a graveyard and caught sight of a head stone stand- ing out alone in the gloom of the night. And such eyes! Great round eyes, which glistened and sparkled as eyes never do till Heav- an's gate has opened just enough to let the living cateh a glimpse of such joys as man cannot even dream of, unless the angel of death whispers in his car. wan and Like a great ship suddenly rising out of the fogs of the ocean came the moon.
