STAYS were invented by brutal
butcher of the thirteenth century as
punishment for his wife. She was
very Ioquacious and finding nothing
that would cure her, he put a pair of
stays On her IN order to take away her
breath. and SO prevent, as he thought,
her talking. This cruel punishment
was inflicted by other husbands, till
at last there was scarcely wife in all
London who was not condemned to
wear stays. The punishment became
SO universal at last that the ladies in
their own defence made a fashion of
it, and so it has continued to the pres
ent day.

In ycnder mansion in the park

He owns both gold and ships and land,
And all his day S are sunny;
He in a gilded chariot, drawn

Hard by the park Il peasant wight
His straw-thatchcd hut has chosen:
He owns q jackass and Il COW.
And cocks and hens-a dozen:
He tolls afield from morn 10 night,
And seldom locketh sadly;

For Maud has slowly natured been
BY II wise man from college;
She plays Beethoven. sings with taste,
And brimful is OF knowledge.
The peasant has daughter too
Some happy wight may Win her;
Poor Tessic cannot sing or play,
Though she can cook Il dinner.
She milks the COW. she weavcs the wool.
Knits stockings for her father;
Her check Is re,.der than the rose
You from her porch may gather.
Now both were fair and both were sweet
Both willing to he mated,
And many II day between the two
My wild heart Oscillated;
Between the cottage anu the hall

And watched the maidens as u hawk

At last the lady's learned eyes
And white brow made me falter:

And led her to the altar:

WALNUT trees sometimes attain pro-
digious size and great age. An Italian
architect mentions having seen at St.
Nicholas, in Lorraine, single plank
of wood of the walnut twenty-five
feet wide, upon which the Emperor
Ill, had given a sumptuous banquet.
In the Baidar Valley, near Balaklava.
in the Crimea, stands walnut tree at
least one thousand years old. 1t yields
annually from 5000 to 1,C00 nuts, and
belongs to five Tartar families, who
share Its product annually.

said: When we reflect on the important
relation that agriculture s~ustains to the ger~
cral prosperity of the country; that it is
indeed the foundation ana basis of its
growth that the maiii and chief aim of the
Grange is to foster and develop and
strengthen that great interest, to make it
honorable and worthy of the highest appre-
citation OF the loftiest talent in the land to
draw around 1t the learning and science es.
scntial TO its perfect success; to make it
pleasurable and renluierative to those en-
gagged In it, and to attract to 1t the weight
and Importance Of influence to which it is
naturally entitled, We may indeed feel proud

of the noble. grand and patriotic purposes
we have in view.

NOTES FROM THE GRANGE.

The Patrons of Jefferson County, N. ",
have organized a Fire Relief Association on
the MUTUAL plan. Property is divided into
three classes, which pay respectively one
fifth, one-fourth, n one-tllird Of one
per cent. to obtain membership in the As
ISOLATION, and in case OF loss assessment is
made pro rata among the members, with
reference to the moun assessed and the
percentage paid for membership. Similar
organizations have been made in Seneca,
Monroe, Ontario, Toinpkins, Steuben, and
perhaps other counties in the State, while
Chemung, Schuyler, and Yates have pro-
vided insurance on the basis of advanced
cash payment 1T the rate Of ~one-half of one
per cent. without classes in the property
assessed.-Grange Bulletin.

AM well convinced no class OF men in the
world are as ready to welcome women to
new fields of usefulness and dignity, rs are
orr worthy farmer husbands and brothers.
| believe, too, none others do as nearly :c-.
cord her her right position. No class OF
people share more equally LIES burdens
and joys, or have more unity OF aims and
interests than the farmer and his family.
As the farmer rises in the scale of social and
political influence, SO will the farmers wife,
until she may reach an elevation from which
she can lend a helping hand to her sisters,
still toiling slaves of fashion and that false
public sentiment that Judges women's worth
