WIFE AT AUCTION The Detroit
rrse Press tells this: About a week AGO,
a woman named Gathner, living in tie
siyth Ward, met male acquaintane on
,;ratiot street and complained to him
that she was out of -four and wood and
almost discouraged. He told her she
onght TO marry again, and she said she
CoSan't find a husband. I'm sell you
ot auction," he continued, s'and we'll
mt in a proviso that the highest bidder
iihall court you for a week in order that
Won may know him"
The woman laughiugly consented, and
,he man mounted box and began cry
inc out. A crowd assembled an he
stated the facts of the case, saying that
he had known her for years; knew her to
he Industrious and of good character,
An then he opened the sale. Bidding
was lively and everybody in great humor.
In the crowd was an old bachelor named
Peter ID. Joslyn, boarding on Maple
street, and he was the only one who
took the joke as real fact.
He Jumped the bidding from 43 cts.
N 81, and then raised it to IS. The
anetioneer cried ''last CALI on that fig
nre, and the widow was knocked down. -
Joslyn handed her the money, agreed to
tbe pruviso, and then treated the whole
crowd. none of whom had til ought
that marriage would take place. One
did, however, take place yesterday morn
inc. after the terms of the proviso had
been faithfully carried out. And while
it is quite certain that Joslyn has found
a good helpmate, the bridegroom S
friends say that he is sober, steady, good

A Social MoNsTRosITY.-The prepon-

England, has long been a matter of com.
ment-sometimes of Jest and sometimes
Of concern, in accordance with the dis
position of the speaker. But this social
fact which is of a really serious aspect
in regard to the future of the Eastern
States, has suddenly developed a phase
which the widest theorist never sus-
pected. One hundred and sixty women
of Lowell, described as respectable, +"
have petitioned the Legislature Of Mas
saehusetts to lesalize polygamy, to the
extent of allowing man to take Sec
Ond wife whenever he can abtain the
consent of the first. This latter pro-
vision indicates marvellous, and, we
imagine, misplaced confidence in fe-
maie humanity. The men who never

that title give their consent, are likely

SLEEP AS MEDICINE Physician
saws the cry for rest has always been
louder than the cry for food. Not that It is
more important, but it is often harder to
obtain. The best rest comes from a
sound sleep. OF two men or women,
otherwise equal. the one who sleep the
best will be the most moral, healthy and
efficient. Sleep will do much to cure
irritability of temper, peevishness, un-
easiness. 1t will restore to vigor an
oyerworked brain. 1t will build up and
make strong weary body. 1t will cure
headache. 1t will cure heartache.
1t will cure broken spirit. 1t will cure
sorrow. Indeed We might make long
list of nervous and ether maladies that
sleep will cure. The cure of sleepless-
ness requires a clean, good bed, suf-
tcient exercise to produce weariness,
pleasant occupation, good air, and not
too warm room, a clear stomach, a
clear conscience, and avoidance of stim-
ulants and narcotics. For those who
are overworked, haggard, nervous, who
pass sleepless nights, we commend the
adoption OF such habits as shall secure
sleep; otherwise life will be short, and
what there is of it sadly imperfect

THE ACTION OF FROST.

The most fertile and productive regions are
those where the frost penetrates the earth
deeply and exerts its influence during con-
siderable portion of the year. The action of
the frost is powerful stimulant of the SOIL
it disinteerates it, and unlocks the closely
combined elements and thus sets free vast
quantities of plant food. Its action also
counteracts the compressive force of rains
and the tread of teams and other animals, and
so each year lifts up and lghtens the COM
pact earth. With frost to aid, the farmer
need not plow and cultivate so much, to put
the soil in good condition, as when this ele-
ment is not operative. In this aspect, then,
winter is blessing to the farmer, and he
should wisely avail himself of all its advan-
tages. If he cannot plow and harrow during
half the year, let him expose his soil with
judgment to the action Of the frost which si-
ently plows and harrows, subsoils and rolls
for him. On heavy and naturally strong,
rich lands, thorough fall blowing is advisable.
Ii the surface is left rough, 1t is perhaps bet
ter; if lumpy, the clods disintegrate and
crumble to dust under the icy fingers of the
frost farmer. The addition of fertilizers to
such soil in the fall is wise, because they be-
come intimately mixed with it by the COM
bined action of frost and water, and are then
Immediately available for the plants when
growth begins in the spring. Farmers who
complain that the long winters do not permit
thorough culture, under. estimate the value
of the action of frost. It's noteworthy fact
that where winter is most severe, within the
temperate zones, the soil is prolific and good
crops certain to degree much beyond that
Of lower latitudes. The soil seems stimulat.
ed to productiveness in proportion to the
time and severity with which the frost acts
upon it,-American Rural Home.

"REMINISCENCES OF THE EARLY
SETTLERS.
BarnSton, p. q, Jan. Is.

A few traditions in connection with the
surveys of the town of st. Johnsbury may be
interesting to the readers Of the FARMER !:
At an early date DR.. Arnold, Squire White
law, and others were making surveys in the
vicinity of Sleeper's River, then known as
West Branch. The provisions and equip
ments of the company were left in charge of
Thomas Todd, who was instructed to keep
careful watch over the same, while the 9TH
ers penetrated into the forest to finish their
surveys. Todd removed his effects from the
bushes to the river bank, and on the return
of the party was found rolled up against a
log asleep. "Henceforth," said DR.. Arnold,
"let the West Branch be known as Sleepers
River" and ever since that has been its
name.
After the settlement, and before the or
ganization of the town in 1890, all public
business was transacted in Proprietors' Meet
ings, which were held at private house in
the town. In the bennington Gazette, Vol,
|, Nos. and 2, we find an advertisement
signed by Isaac Tichenor, afterwards Governor
of the State, in which the proprietors of St.
Johnsbury are notified to meet on the eighth
of February, 1874, "ior the purpose of choos-
ing committee to complete the division of
lands then undivided in the town to make
provision for erecting mills in the course of
the ensuing summer; to take measures for
the furtherance Of settlement; and to trans
act other business deemed necessary" Ii is

MUCK VS.. HORSE MANURE FOR
CORN.

A year ago last spring l had the hand
shares. The farm had been let and rented
for long period, with the exception of two
or three years, and, as is generally the case
with farms which have been intrusted to par
ties whose only aim was to get the largest
return for the least outlay of time or money,
was pretty well "run out" l found but a
small quantity of manure on the place, and
how to use it to the best advantage was
question more easily asked than answered.
When l came to plant my corn (about three
fourths of an acre,) found that 1 had not
manure enough left to do it justice l used
it, however, literally as far as it would go,
and then finished the piece with muck in the
hill. This muck had lain where it received
small share Of the barnyard soakings, but |
did not consider it much the better for that and
did not expect much, if any, appreciable re-
suits from its use. finished out the last
few rows with some muck which was rotted
little but which had received none Of the
wash from the barnyard. The manure used
was principally from the horse-baru, with a
slight intermixture of COW and hog manure.
The season was rather cold and backward,
and the corn which was planted on the ma
nure came up ahead Of that on the muck, and
kept its position for two or three weeks, when
the weather becoming warmer and more IA
vorable for plant growth, the corn upon the
muck shot ahead of the other, and kept ahead
the rest of the season. The ears were more
numerous, larger, aud better filled, and the
difference in the general appearance OF the
corn was plainly noticeable to all who pass
ed. intended to have measured the corr
on both parts of the piece but one day when
was away neighbor's cattle broke in and
destroyed more corn than had ever before
given such a number Of bovines the credit oI
being able to do in 50 short a time, aud
was thus saved the trouble. IN. b. Tho cat

horse manure had the effect to modify tn,
GOODNESS and backwardness of the season
thus giving the corn good early start. But
when steady warm weather set IN, the ma
mure became so dry and useless it ceased tt

moisture kept up by the muck, and which
always is kept up where any considerable
quantity of it lies together, furnished tn
tender corn with just the nutriment it need

Moreover, reserved the right
