The Hakes Swivel pillow advertised in this
paper is believed to be good thing. Tho
peculiar shape of the moldboard is such that
the furrow slice is broken or puverized as it
is thrown over, thus letting the air into the
soil, al operation that greatly promotes the
growth Of crops. The pillow is made to ruu
to land by the construction Of the land side,
being thicker at the front end than at the
back. This pillow has won good reputation
during the few years it has been before the
public. 1t is for sale in St. Johnsbury by

farmers to call and look at it.

MARRIAGE AMONG FnE RoMANs-The
Romans not only rewarded those who mar
ried, but decreed penalties against men who
remained in q state of celibacy. Fines
were 6rst levied upon unmarried men about
the year of Rome $50 and when pecuniary
forfeitures failed TO insure their obedience to
those eennubial edicts, their contumAcious
neglect Of the fair sex was punished by deg
radations from their tribe. Celibaoy con.
tinued, however, to gain ground in Rome !;
aud, 10 countrebalance its effects, we find
thtt, in the year 5l8 from the foundation Of
the city, the censors had resource to the ex-
traordinary measure Of obliging all the
young unmarried men to pledge themselves
on oath to marry within certain time, In
Babylon an auction Of unmarried ladies used
to take place annually. The virgins of mar.
riageable ages in every district were assem-
bed on certain day Of every year. The
most beautiful was first put up, and the man
who babe the largest sum Of money gained
possession Of her. The second in personal
appearance followed aud the purchasers
grAtiEed themselves with handsome wives
according to the depth of their purses
When all the beautiful virgins were sold the
crier ordered the most dsfOrmed to stand up
and after he had openly demanded who
would marry her with small SUN she was
at length adjudged to the man who would BE-
satisfied with the least, and in this manner
the money arising FROM the sale of the hand
some womel served as a portion to those
who were either OF disagreeable looks or thai
had any other fault or imperfeotiOn.
