Farmers’ Hires.
A writer in Oi«r Cbntfnenf gives a pie
turo of the shut in and dreary life ol
drudgery to which many farmers’ wiver
are subjected. Their lot is often litth
better than that of slavery to an unsym
patliizing master who takes better care ol
his sheep and oxen and horses than ot
her whom lie had promised to lovo and
oaro for with a husband's tenderness. It
is a slinmo to manhood that this is the
nde rather than the exception. Let tin
following, taken from tlio articlo referml
to, lie carefully road and pondered :
“The farmer works from sun till sun ;
the farmer's wife frequently till far into
the night. Who can compute her dreary
and incessant toil, nndor all sorts of
deprivations ? It is a toil so excessive ns
to shrivel the rhornis of womanhood, ex
haust tho nervous system, bow and
stiffen the frame, weaken the springs of
life, and leave its harsh truce's upon
every faculty and organ. Yet sho is the
wife of liim whose calling is first, most
necessary, nml so most honorable, of oil
avocations.
“Tho statistics of tlie chief lunatic
asylums of this country show that from
farmers’ wives are found the largest por-
ce'utngc of those whoso light of reason
has been quenclic'd in terrible nml liope-
less darkness. Constant fatigue, monot
ony, want of society, with its social
stimulus and interchange of thought, the
hopelessness of any cliango of routine,
prove too much to endure, and tho poor,
tired brain reels with thoughts of a
cheerless past and hopeless future. The
horses and oxen plowing in their mas
ter’s field liavo before them tho pan
orama of nature; they Ureal ho tho free
winds of heaven; but her outlook is nar
rowed to tho four wnlls of her house,
which in time becomes a prison of tor
ture.
“A leading agricultural pnpor of this
country, shunted centrally, and having
opportunity of speaking lor oil sections
published those editorial remarks only
two months ago:
“ ‘The fact is, and has been for a long
tune, that the former's wifo is expected
to do tho work of throo or four womon,
with very imperfect facilities often for
cioing the work of one. Who must be
cook and provide three hearty meals
each day. • Sho is laundry maid, dairy
maid, kitchen girl, mother, wife, nurse,
seamstress; she raises pigs, calves and
poultry, and in a pinch helps in the
field. Her husband in his work will
have mowers, reapers, all the modern
machinery — what hns she? Just her
two hands, und in nine cases out of ten
her kitchen is ill arranged, and she
must carry water, bring in fuel, and do
everything at a disadvantage. Win
ever know a farmer’s wife to sit down in
»ne middle of the day and rest an lioiu l
’let every hired man claims this us his
Machinery and Labor
Mr. Edward Atkinson says that it
takes 100,000 men, women and children
to make tho cotton cloth, the use of
which is now enjoyed by the people of
the United States, who arc tho host
clothed people iu tho world. If those
who do this work were obliged to use
machinery no more effective than the
spining wheel or hand loom, it would re
quire, ho computes, 16,000,000 persons
continuously employed ten hours a day
to do tho nooessary work.
Iu referring to the matter, tho Scien
tific American asks where aro those
15,840,000 pooplo thus thrown out
of employment—what are they doing?
In every department of productive
labor, machinery lias boon and is hav
ing a corresponding effect. The dis
placed millions of mythical hand work
ers cannot have starved to death, or
have been otherwise exterminated, for
there has been a rapid increase of popu
lation in all manufacturing countries,
and the average length of human life is
greater than it used to be.
The obvious truth—obvious, that is,
to all who can sec things ns they arc—ia
that so far from displacing labor, or the
demand for it, labor-saving machinery
furnishes more and more varied oppor
tunities for remunerative work, larger
pay for the worker, and cheaper pro
ducts for the worker to enjoy.
Failure of memory is apt to be at
tended with very embarrassing results
sometimes in social life. Tho sister of
an eminent clergyman, accompanying
her brother to a dinner party, entirely
forgot that she was not at her own table,
and apologized for the abominably bad
dinner. Bho was “quite ashamed” to
see such dishes sent to table. The Duly
of the house did not enjoy the blunder
quite as much as the other guests.
A Philadelphia boarding-house keep
er won't take any but pretty girls and
susceptible young men. Those who fall
in love ore seated tog ther at the table,
and of course lose th ;r appetites. She
is getting rich.
An Autumn Mjl.
Tho Novomlier sun was stealing be
tween the daintily embroidered leaflets
nid pluyiitg on tho ripples of the wood
land rivulot.
The golden rod along tho brooksida
-vas disturbed by the flight of some wild
tird, and the sumacs in their cardinal
fezes looked like so many nodding Turk
ish sentinels.
A glorious hut brief period, when r
lelicato veil of haze hongs around the
•vood, and the indelicate politician hung*
around the candidate to negotiate the
rnlo of lps vote; when tho partridge
drums up in tlie tree, and tho suspender
peddler drums up iu tho northern part
of Now York; when tho honest farmer
works tho harvest field, and tho young
lady works the Christinas slippers for
the clergyman; when poetic damsels
pluck the languid ferns, and tliounpoetio
housewife plucks the languishing Thanks
giving turkey.
Tho birds twittered by the brook, and
(he squirrels darted along the stono wall
and up in tho tree, and tho voices of
merry nuttiug parties reverberated
through the silent aisles of tlie forest, in
harmony with the sincere but unpootio
squawk of tho cat-bird.
That’s nbout the stylo of a day it was
when a light-hearted couple, tired of
thSir vvoodluud promenade, sat upon a
fallen tree.
“I am always so happy in tho woods,”
she commenced, “especially in tlie
autumn, ns llie crepusculior shadows
steal timidly iuto tho valley, for then I
float back to childhood's happy timo—
“Glad to hear it,” ho replied, rather
abruptly. “I shall bring you up here
often; tho air is exhilarating, and will do
you good; and wo will gather wild flow
ers and leave/, and orrango them in
quaint designs. ”
“Oh, you are so good I” sho said in
tones of deep, unswerving devotion. “I
would much rather walk hero with you
than in tho hustling city.”
“You would?” ho inquired, with a
slight tremor in his voice.
“Indeed I would,” sho responded.
“When hero with you, all alone, I feel
pe.K.ky secure nnd happy.”
“And so do I,” ho chanted, ns lie
thrust his hand into his vest pocket and
felt liis capital, which consisted of two
suspender buttons and a night-key. “Bo
do I, my dear, because this pretty
autumn wood is just about fourteen
miles from tho nearest ice-oream sa
loon.’'
A Bridegroom's Mistake.
Tlie Fall Itivor News tells this story :
Witliiu a few weeks a young man well
known in this city, wns married to tho
lady of his ohoice. Ho loved her dourly,
and determined to pay tho minister lib
erally for tho service that united two
hearts that boat as one. When ho put
on his wedding clothes, ho counted out
one roll of bills for tho minister and
another to pay the expenses of tho wed
ding trip. After the ceremony ho
thanked the good clergyman in fitting
terms and handed him a roll of hills,
but, nlas, tho wrong roll. The minister,
on his return to his home, was surprised
at the munificonce of his fee, but, “for
tunately, being an honest man,” ho
hastened to tho depot, and succeeded iu
arriving there before tho train with the
young couple left, exchanged the wed
ding trip money for tho intended foe,
and received the thanks of a confused
but grateful husband,
A CoofT'rlnter.
Rats will fight desperately when death
is tho pnly alternative, and ho is a wise
man who keeps out of the reach of their
teeth. The following anecdote shows
how a man of “nerve” ought to act when
the enemy is at very close range. A
printer happened in at a hotel in Bacru-
mento the other day just in timo to join
a group of men who were waiting to see
a terrier kill a rat. The cage was opened
and the rat most unexpectedly ran up the
printer’s log inside liis trousers. He did
not scream or clutch, but clenched his
hands, stood erect and coolly told those
present to ho quiet. “Now he is going
up my knee; now ho is up my thigh;
now he lias passed to the small of my
back; now he rests. Don’t strike; don’t
seize him. Here, take a small stick, tup
gently just above the rascal—gently,
gently. That’s it: drive him dcjvn easily
—don’t provoke him. Now he moves,
now lie turns—press gently; now he de
scends; there he goes around my hip;
now lie turns downward; here he comes
I>y my knee—there, lie’s out.” And so
he was, aud tho terrier forthwith monop
olized him.

A Few Words About Sheep.
There is no domestic animal more
liable to disease than sheep; and yet
with proper care, there is none more
oasilv kt>pt in a healthy, state. Rheep
are tender, delicate animals, hut nature
has provided them with shields against
many dangers. If they have shelter in
time of storms, and especially rain and
snow storms, have sufficient clean wnter,
thero is little to bo feared from disease,
Bheop need frequent eh'ingos of pas
hire in the.pasture season, and the same
rule applies in reference to dry food. It
iH a rule applying to all animate nature
that the more refined tlie organisation
the greater need of variety in susten
ance. We do not moan the vnrioty in
clnsscB or kinds of food, but rather vari
ety in that general sense which includes
in means of sustenance nil proper ele
ments in healthy growth—care nml treat
ment ns well an food. Wo behove every
farmer ought to have sonic sheep, more
or less, ns hiB means and convenience
will justify. But unless ho can give
them good attention, and care for them
well, he is hotter without them. And at
this Benson they need special care, so
that they are kept healthy, and started
into winter in good condition. Oats,
ryo and ecru ounlil to lie H< t apart for
sheep in the winter, and n litthi of ono
or nil of them fed along through the
fall. Rucks and troughs should he pre
pared and kept elcau. An excellent ar
rangement for feeding is made ns fol
lows : Toko a two-inch plank a foot
wide and bevel the edges; then, on each
odgo put a four-inch pieco even with the
odgo on tho narrow side of (he plonk.
This makes a trough flat aud u foot wide.
Then on a lino throe inches from each
outer edge of tho trough bore a row of
inoh holes three inches npart. Boro
them nt an angle to correspond with the
lievel on the edge of tho plank. In
these holes put sticks, sawed or turned,
twenty-four to twenty-eight inches long,
nnd put their upper ends through simi
lar holes in a throo or four inch piece,
and have these top pieces joined nt the
ends, at proper distances between to
give strength. This makes a rock nml
trough combined which may lie kept iu
position by 1 icing fnsfcsued on benches
or logs, or it may have its own fed.
Bran, shorts, any kind of ground feed
and salt, or whole grain may bo conve
niently fed in Bitch a trough, nml hay
and fodder are well secured in the rack.
Of course tho hay must all ho cleaned
out before putting the ground feeh ot
grain iu the trough. Bheep will feed
nicely on hqtli sides of such a rack, and
stand in the most economical and healthy
position.—llnral Record.
A Wedding Rehearsal.
Only of late, if I may believe the New
York Teh dram, have tin y commenced
to rehearse weddings in that city. Yeti
think the 7'c/c//rar/iis mistaken, and that
in New York as in Philadelphia, all fash
ionable weddings have been rehearsed for
many years past, Tlie wholo cere
mony is gone through with, except
as to tho answering of questions. Tho
custom is said to come from England,
hut wherever it originated, it is very
necessary. A faux pan at a wedding
ceremony is highly disagreeable, and un
less all parties are fully aware exactly
what they are to do at specified moments,
it is hardly ]>OHHil)]o to get through with
out an embarrassing blunder of some
sort. You know, also, how superstitious
some folks are if there is the least thing
amiss at a wedding ceremony. There
fore, unless tho marriage is strictly pri
vate, the rehearsal under no circumstan
ces should he omitted, and, as it is, after
all, not much trouble, I do not see why
it should not be had, oven if no one hilt
the family and intimate friends should
he in attendance. The minister, it is un
derstood, is not present. Tlie procession
is merely forme d and marched into tho
room or up the aisle of the church, and
tho bride and groom, and bridesmaids
and groomsmen take their places while
it is distinctly explained what is to be
dono at each stage of the proceedings.—

A Novel Hhovr,
William Patteraon’i Will.
The announcement of a novel show in
a tent near Hot Springs, Ark., drew a
crowd. Tlie first thing on tho pro
gramme was a wrestling match between
a negro and a bear. It was a close and
bloody contest, and tho audience was
wild with delight when at last the ex
hausted negro succeeded in dragging tho
bear behind the scenes. In response to
deafening applause he presently appeared
again upon the stage, holding a large bag
in his hands. The spectators gazed at
him in silent curiosity. He drew a knife
from his pocket, leaned over, slit tho hag
from top to bottom, and out upon the
audience flew a swarm of angry bees.
A wild stampede for tho exit followed,
aud the negro had all the fun to himself;
but why he took that means of- clearing
the tent nobody seems to know.
William Patterson was a very wealthy
tradesman of Baltimore. In the early
days of Franklin County, Ga., he bought
up a great many tracts of land in the
county, nnd spent a good portion of hie
time in looking after his interests there.
Ho wns said to lie ns strong as a bear
and as bravo ns a lion ; but, like all
brave men, ho was n lover of peace, and,
indeed, a good, pious man. Neverthe
less, his wrath could bo excited to a
fighting pitch.
On one occasion he attended a public
gathering in tho lower part of Franklin
County, at Homo district court ground.
During tho dny two opposing bullies
and their friends raised a row and a gen
eral fight wns tho eoiiaoqiicnce. At the
beginning of tho fray, and liefore the
fighting began, Billy Patteraon ran into
llie crowd to persuade them not to fight,
hut to make peace nnd bo friends. But
his efforts for ponce wore unavailing,
and while making them, some of tho
crowd in tho general melee struck Billy
Patterson a sovore blow from behind.
Billy at onco la'cnmc fighting mad' and
cried out at the top of hia voice, “ Who
struck Billy Patterson?”
No one could or would tell him who
wns the guilty party. Ho then proposed
to give any man $100 to tell him “who
struck Billy Patterson.” From $100 he
rose to $1,000, but not $1,000 would in
duce any muu to tell him “ who struck
Billy Patterson.” Years afterward, in
bis will, ho related the above facts, and
bequeathed $1,000, to lie paid by hia ex
ecutors, to the man who would tell him
“who struck Billy Patterson.” Ilis
will is recorded in tho Ordinary's office
atCiU'iiesville, Franklin County,(la., and
any ono curious nhoiit the matter can
thero find it and verify the preceding
statements.
Woman SnfTragc,
On tho suhjoat of woman suffrage^
Gov, Butler, cf Massachusetts, in hii
inaugural message says: “Far myself
I believe that that right ia given them
l>y the.constitution of tho United States.
By the decision of tho courts I am over
ruled iu my action on (his subject, bnt
not in my oonviotions. It Jh on experi
ment in our government which baa
never been hero practically tried, for al
though womon are allowed to vote for a
i ingle class of municipal officers, yet
thero are so mnuv restrictions and im
pediments thrown around it, that no wo
man with a proper spirit of self-rospoet,
ought to allow herself to pass through
the ordeal to nttuiu a useless privilege.”
Ho suggests that olootion day bo made
a holiday, nml that local elections
throughout tho State bo so arranged
that all will fall on the same day os the
general election. On tho subject ol
nutnralizati in ho advocates that cveqr
judge of a district or municipal court
11live tlie power to issuo cortifioito.: of
naturalization, nnd is in favor of con
fining it even to them, for they as neigh
bors uro hotter able to decide from
knowledge whether the facts are truo in
the application. It will relievo the
dockets < f tlio higher courts; and in
closing on the topic ho adds that all the
systematic frauds in naturalization al
leged and proved in a neighboring State
were dono in tho suporior courts of that
State.
Beauty Nd. 15.
Among tho fifty young women who
were on exhibition at a beauty show in
a New York Museum, was on auburn
haired Englishwoman. She was No. 15,
and to tho management she gave her
name ns Mrs. Duke.
She was always dressed in good taste,
and her manners were modest and retir
ing. She would not talk with visitors,
and when they offered votes to her she
refused them.
Tho prize for the handsomest figure
was awarded to her. Sho entered the
museum on Monday, Novemlier 12, and
was thero every day throughout the
contest, which lasted two weeks. Aa
one of tho prize-winners she remained
one week longer until Saturday, Decem
ber 1, when she was removed by her
husband.
He said that ne wns an English squire,
and hail come to this country after hia
wife. Her mind had been affected, and
she had left her home and wandered to
Liverpool, where she took passage on a
steamer for New York. Her name and
the name of her husband aud liis resi
dence are withheld from publication at
his request. He will take her back to
England.
