THE PASSING OF TH4E SHEEP. At a very early hour one morr ing, in Florence, I lay half asleel when the bleating of a shee brought me quickly to my sensel and I remembered to have hear that at this season the shepherd come down from' the mountain with their flocks, to take them t the warmer plains below. So hastily aroused the sleeping chi hren, who only needed the wor 'lambs to make them broa awake, and we flew to the wix dows, and lo! what a sight wa there. The whole street and sidewal below, as far as we could see i either direction, was filled with moving mass. Hundreds and thoi sands of sheep and lambs; flock following each other in quick su( cession, with only room enoug between for the shepherd, wh always leads the sheep with a bi crook, and generally carries one a more tiny lambkins in his arms. There was no trouble with rt fractory sheep racing off in th wrong direction; all were conter and happy to follow their belove shepherds, at whose sides trotte the faithful dogs and the big lea( ers of the flocks that wore the bell It was the tinkling of these hur dreds of bells that had aroused m so early. Never shall I forget th strange, weird sound as it rose an fell on the early morning air. These numerous flocks of shee pass through the city twice a yee -in the spring, when they leav the warm lowlands around Perugi for the northern mountains, and 1 autumn, when the frosty air dlriv, them back to the plains. And, t they must pass through the citi( on their way, they are obliged 1 linger outside the city walls unt all business in the streets is su pended, when the night guar( open the ponderous gates and a low them to pass through. It was an impressive sight to s4 those hundreds of sheep followir their leaders so happily, and spol volumes for the friendly relatioi existing between them. - Wi Awake, YVo 4 N
