MonrALrrY OF CLKRGYaES' WIVES. "A writer
in the Puritan Recorder, who appears to have
looked into the subject, proposes the alarming
inquiry, whether minister's wives are us long
lived as those of other meng He says:
"In the space of few brief years, twelve
ministers, in seven contiguous parishes, have each
buried wife, and two of them two wives. And
of these ministers, not more than on is yet an
aged man. Their wives, in almost every in
stance, have died while they were young"
Our own observation seems to confirm the
truth ofthe Puritan's statement. There are but
few ministers over forty who have not buried
one or more wives. Yet of all men, clergyman
arc the most successful in obtaining eligible
matches" Can any one explain this social phe-

day, accepted it without amendment; aud upon
its being returned to Council, it was again rati-

SALT FOR SHEEP. The first thing the
shepherd in Spain does when his hocks
return from the south, the summer
downs, or pastures, is to give them as
much salt as they will eat. Every
owner allows to each thousand sheep
$500 pounds of salt which they con-
sumo in about five months. They eat
none in their journeys, nor are they al
lowed any in winter, as it is thought
to produce abortion when given to
ewes forward with young. This has
ever been the custom, and it is thought
to be the true reason why the kings OF
Spain could never raise the price OF
salt to the height it has maintained in
France; for it would tempt the shep-
herds to stint the sheep, which, it is
believed, would weaken their constiu-
ten and detriorate their wool. The
shepherd places fifty or sixty flat
stones at the distance of about five
PAGES apart, strews salt upon each,
leads the sheep slowly among them'
and every one is allowed to eat it at
pleasure. But when they are feeding
on limestone lanes, they eat no salt {;
and if they meet with spot of mixed
formation, they are said to partake of
it in proportion as the soil is mingled
with clay.--Farmer g. Mechanic.
