I now recollected what for fifteen years Infd never'entered my mind— that on receiving my godfather's guinea back from Mrs. Carlton,l did not at once replace it in the case, but retained it in my hand af t:r the visitor's entrance. Doubtless, in a fit of absence I bad slipped it into my pock -et,- and thence transfered it to the dam ,, el who brought me the beer in the gloaming.. "After I got that guinea," said she, "I don't know 1 it wals, but I begun to-put a little mo reyby, I suppose it started me like; for a servant do.n'tloften get so much given her all at once.

"I always," she said, as she refolded it, "wrap: it qp in one -of • these notes;"• and coiling the dirty tissue toned it, my guinea was under lock and key, in a trice. There is, howeier,some cornfor,t,thought I; I now know the exact spot in which it lies; I could and it in the dark; what ft: comfort they do not keep it in their bed-room! I. hal earefullv 'noticed the key lielanging to the bureau ; acid that very night I borrowed it in this wise. The landlord was -not very well. This was Mrs. Allen's way of conve)ing an intimation that he bad taken a drop too much—went early to bed. Just before retiring, I entered my landlady's peculiar sanctum, and noticing her keys on the table, I asked for something which ,I knew-would oblige her to leave the room, and during her absence I detached the one I so coveted 'the loan of from the bunch. I took from her hand the attide she had been to fetch, ha e her "good night" J .... .uut.. before my back - w X turned heard her clatter the rest of the ke into her capacious pocket, where 1' was well convinced they would rest till morning, unless anything very uncommon occurred to prevent.

My landlady, honest woman, worked hard during the day ; and when she sought her couch, fell asleep at once, and paid attention to it. I. know this fact well, because my room was divided from theirs by - a rather thin partition; and at times the united conjugal snorers were more powerful than agreeable. - On this occasion I bailed the addition of her nasal treble to thelusband's sonorous bass as the most enchanting union of sounds that had ever saluted my ears. The servants slept in a distant part of the hou , e. I had no fearsof them; and living in,the hotel as I 'did, anything short of king caught in the act of " prigging the cash" I was prepared for. Sufdy, noiselessly, I stole down stairs. The moon was shining through the Window, iron barred but shutterless, and gave me light enough for my purpose. I succeeded in opening the bureau. I took out the little dirty-looking parcel, replacing it by the other guinea duly wrapped in a ten pound note as dingy as the one enclosing my guinea. Again I locked - the bureau; and* finally deposited the key on the floor close to the table where the bunch had lain, three hours - before, that it might seem tp hive been i accid&utally dropped there, I could Lave' shouted and committed all sorts of absurdi ties in my extravagant delight at recovering my treasure; but I was compelled to restrain myself. I -did nut unfold the paper, I was too sure of my game to need the confirmation of Sight—but hastily pushed it with the guinea Into a new COG) prepared beforehand, and stiched it up. I slept not ; I was too much excited; and When morning came I feigned illness, and lay in bed for fear my intense delight should manifest itself. As to describing what I felt, it would be ridienlous to 'attempt it. I staved a week after recovering my treasure; I wit nessed the finding of ,the-bureau-key by my landlady before she was aware - of its loss, and became pretty well convinced that detection was impossible. Then, pretending business, I bade farewell to the Lucky Guinea, its burley landlord. and smiling, landlady ; and leaving "the Peak" in its atrium-beauty, I journeyed to London. Arrived there, I chanted to take up a newspaper, and in it saw a piece of news which deserves the name of a •e staggerer." It was to the effect that my firmer banker, having been fortunate in his. second start in life, was in a position to make amends to those who had suffered by his first false one. Such things bad been done 1 knew; but when I saw the printed request that his old_ creditors would assemble and receive their own, principal and s interest,l rubbed my eyes, believing they depeived me. happening to I touch the ribbon that wns attached to my guinea-case, I felt that it was ail right enough, and I went to the meeting and received my _cash, which made the really a rich man again. From that. time I was very cautious, and be: I gan to be esteemed a lucky fellow also: "in deed," saidl to myself, " that must be; hat=e I, not once more " my Godfathe►'s Guinea." CARE. AND MANAGEMENT OF SOEFfrk-- , For eight yews past,. I have kept from fifty to Sixty ewes and 'two bucks. -I gave my 1 sheep plenty of salt and ashes. I put them into good pasture in the spring, and let them run until I get my hay cut, then turn their) into.my , mowing land.arid let them run there until the ground freezes at night' I then take them up and feed them night - and mor ning on heart vines or good hay, and let them run out through the day. About the tenth of August I put my. backs into the barn and feed them on good !Jai and oats, until the tenth Of December. I have a barn in - which I feed my sheep three times a day in boxes, and shut them in during stormy weatber,and give them one gill of oats and peas per day, while at the barn, and a chance to water. By so ,doing I raise as many lambs as I keep ewes, and get a heavy clip of wool. I have lost but two sheep in the above time, and these were lost in pasture.. As this bsas been a hard spring for sheep, I give my, experience for the benefit of others.—Correspondent of Maine Farmer. • 15rGGING d WELL—The month, of August is usually the safest time to sink a well.
