History of the Pillow.

The first pillow is supposed to
have been the rude branch of tree
cut so as to have a cleft end the
point Of which, dragged along the
surface of the ground, scraped a fur
row into which seeds were thrown.
1t soon occurred to the husbandman,
that he might relieve his own labor
by yoking an animal to the long arm
of the primitive instrument, then a.
rose the necessity for a handle, af-
fixed to the back, so that the pillow
might be guided, The strength Of
the animal soon wore away or broke
the cleft of the branch, and this ne
cessity gave rise to the invention OF
means for attaching movable shares
first of wood and next of stone, cop
per, or iron, worked to a shape a.
dapted to the cutting Of burrows, so
as to avoid tie excessive labor aris-
ing from the plowman's having to
lean with all his weight upon the
pillow, TO press it into the earth.-
Just such Jan Implement as these con-
lectures indicated was used by the
SaXons.
Some of the facts connected with
the history Of the plow are almost
incredible. In Ireland there once
prevailed a custom of'' blowing with
the horses tail" The draught pole
was lashed TO the tail of the horse,
which he did by walking backwards
before the miserable animal, and
beating it on the head on either side,
according to the direction required.
This custom prevailed for a consid-
cradle time; in spite of a law which
was passed in the early part of the
seventeenth century, imposing Sc
we're penalties upon persons guilty
OF "pioWlng by the horses tai" as
in the act mentioned and described.
From the Rev. Caesar Otway's
Sketches in Erris and Tyrawley,"
it appears that the barbarous prac-
tice fingered in the remote of west
of Ireland as late in the year l74O.
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.-[Southern Homestead.

A PRovERB OF SoLEMN'UN!-It
is better that woman should scold
than do worse. Better for US to
to endure the present i'll than fly to
others that we know not of. We
do not relish the mise of scolding.
We never did. Scolding seems to
be a poor use TO make of a woman.
But then, scolding may have its ad-
vantages. We do not like the noise
of a boiler, blowing1off steam; but if
it saves the boiler from bursting, we
should be content TO endure it.

Christianity. Sister Holding was, in the strict
est sense of the term, self denying and cross
bearing christian--in the Love Feast, in the
Class Room, her testimony was that " the blood
lof Christ was able TO cleanse from all unrght-

active discipls-aiding the pepitent, and ad-
monishng the ungodly. She, also, like the
rest of Gods people, had her enemies to con-
tend with, and in this respect, too, she followed
the commands of God, and ever held them up
to a Throne of GRACE. But there was two
prominent principles manifested in her life
