And will like yours and mine;
And that she has right 10 her say in thiags
That naturally fall in her line.
Do gentle about the money question;
Every time you give hsr . cont

In health and in sickness fsr all sorts Of luck,
You promise to take your wife;
To lov ., and cherish, and honor her,

RECORD OF A FARMERs' CLuB.-A
correspondent Of the Country Gentle
man tells what has been accomplished
by the Elmira Farmers Club during
tho past three years. It commenced
with dozen, members and now has a
hundred. They met at first in = small
room, now they have 4 large hall we'll
fitted up, flos Of agricultural papers,
and . thousand volumes Of standard
books This club has, through ito
committees, tested various new seeds,
among which are some which have
proved Of greater value than those in
common use, aud by this means it has
been able to increase the profits Of GER
tain branches Of farming. On the
other hand, it has exposed the falsity Of
the extravagant claims made by the
vendors OF worthless seeds, thus saving
the general swindle Of all who are
guided by its investigation. It has
also made successful efforts towards i'm
provement Of domestic animals by the
introduction of superior strains Of blood,
the cost Of which, when borne by such
body, falls lightly on each individual.
This is real work, it is true, but such
work is always preceded by talk. In
this case it is the legitimate fruit of the
evening meetings.
