Southern planter : devoted to agriculture, horticulture, and the household arts . hat she dare tell them; only a Fridaysdream is all her superstition; that she con-ceals for fear of anger.

When thou considerest thy wants, whenthou beholdest thy imperfections, acknow-ledge his goodness, 0 Man ! who honouredthee with reason, endowed thee with speech,and placed thee in society to receive andconfer reciprocal helps and mutual obliga-tions. Thy food, thy clothing, thy convenienceof habitation, thy protection from the inju-ries, thy enjoyment of the comforts andthe pleasures of life, thou owest to the as-sistance of others, and couldest not enjoybut in the bands of society. It is thy duty,therefore, to be friendly to mankind, as it isthy interest that men should be friendly tothee. As the rose breathcth sweetness from itsown nature, so the heart of a benevolentman produceth good works.—Dodsley. 1859.] THE SOUTHERN PLANTER 49. SILESIAN EWES. The above engraving represents a groupof Silesian Ewes, exhibited at the late StateFair at Petersburg, by S. S. Bradford, Esq.,of Culpeper. Mr. B. has lately purchased largely ofthis variety of fine wool sheep from the cel-ebrated flocks of G-eorge Campbell of Ver-mont, and William Chamberlain of NewYork. These gentlemen, by careful breed-ing and judicious management, have now,it is said, as pure blooded flocks as are to befound in this country. Indeed, such is theirhigh character for purity, that orders areannually received by their owners from Ohio,Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Michigan, Califor-nia, Texas, and even from Buenos Ayres. These sheep are hardy and easily kept,producing short wool, but of very fine sta-ple, which is highly valued by the manufac-turer. This group attracted great admiration atthe Fair, and were considered equal to anyspecimen of fine wools ever exhibited inVirginia.
