The History of the Plough.

The first plough is supposed to have been the
rude branch of tree cut SO as to have cleft
end, the point of which, dragged along the sur
face of the ground, Scraped a furrow into which
seeds were throYn. 1tsoon occurred to the hus-
band that he might relieve his own labor by
yoking an animalt the long arm Of this print
tive instrument then rose the necessity for a
handle, affixed to the back, SO that the plough
might be guided. The strength of the animal
soon wore away or broke the cleft of the branch
and this necessity gave rise to the invention of
means for attaching movable shares, first ofwood,
and next of stone, copper, or iron, worked to a
shape adapted to the cutting of burrows, so as to
avoid the excessive labor arising from the plough
mans having to lean upon the plough with all
his weight to press it into the EARTH Just such
an implement as these conjecture indicate was
used by the Saxons. Some of the facts connec-
ted with the history of the plough a,e almost in
credible In Ireland there once prevailed a
custom of "ploughing by the horses tail"-
The draught- pole was dashed to the tail of the
horse, and as no harness was employed two
men were necessary, one TO guide, and press up
on the plough, the other to direct the horse,
which he did by walking back yards before the
miserable animal, and beating it on the head on
either side according to the direction required.
This custom prevailed for considerable time,
in spite of law which was passed in the early
part of the seventeenth century, imposing severe
penalties upon persons found guilty of Plough
nc by the horses tail, +" as in the act mentioned
and described From the Rev. Caesar Gtway's
"Sketches in Erris and Tyrewley," it appears
that the barbarous practices fingered in the re-
mote west of Ireland as late as the year 1850
And from paper 'On the breed of horses in
Scotland in the Ancient Times" printed in the
first volume of the Transactions of the Society
Of Antiquaries of Scotland" we find that the
same custom was practiced in that country as
late as the year l792-Progress Of Agicul-
ture.

COURTsHIP OF A BAsHFUL CLERGYMAN -
The Rev. John Brown, of Haddington, the well
known author of the selfinterpreting Bible was
a man of singular bashfuness. In token of the
truth of this statement, it need only be stated
that his conrtship lasted seven years Six years
and a half had passed away, and the reverend
gentleman had got no further forward than he
had been the first six days. This state of things
became intolerable. A step in advance must
be made, and Mr. Brown summoned all his cour-
age for the deed.
Janet, said he, as they sat in solemn ST.
lence, :" we've been acquainted now for six years
an mair, and Pve meter gotten kiss yet Dye
think I might take one, my bonnie girl? 2"
:" Just as you like John; only be becoming
and proper VII it."
..'Surely, Janet, we'll ask blessing.n
The blessing was asked, the kiss was taken
and the worthy divine most rapturousy ex-
claimed
ooh, woman but it's guide. Well return
thanks "
Six months after made this happy couple man
and wife and, added his descendant, who hum
orousy told the tale, happier couple never
spent long and useful ifetogether.
