green leaves above the ashes of the

The graves are near the town of
Spring Place, and were once marked
by loving hands and affectionate
hearts, with lettered head stones, but
these have been broken and removed,
and it has been but few years since

Farmers. Wives.

Some years ago was talking with
DR.. Gray, chief physician in the New
State Lunatic Asylum at Utica, and he
told me that, as a class, more farmer S
wives were brought to that institution
than people of any other occupation.
lie said 1.-THE reason why this is so,
is that their minds are constantly on
enc changeable routine of work, from
daylight in the morning till late at
night-no change--no relaXation-no
rest.
Farmers should note this fact, and
be forewarned before it is to late. 1t
is astonishing what vast amount of
labor farmers wives perform Many
of them get up and have breakfast
ready before their husbands are out
of bed. Then it is work, work, work,
till near midnight the mind all the
time being on their duties-how they
shall supply the meals-how the wash
ing and ironing are to be dOne--when
can the floors be scrubbed--howt the chill
dren are to be clothed and kept tidy ;
and many other things, all combined,
are enough to break down the strong
est woman in the land!
"In no case" said DR.. Gray, sis it
safe to be constantly thinking upon
one thing or subject = and in cases
where the brain has become weaken
ed by too great strain on it. as with
students and literary men, the remedy
is rest and out door recreations. Then
when men are in trouble, a constant
broOding over it is dangerous. The
mind should be drawn away from it
as much as possible.
Farmers, your duties to yonr wives
are plain. Don't allow them TO over.
work, to wear out prematurely. 1t is
better to leave few acres less to your
heirs, and less in bonds or mortgages,
than to see your wives go down to pre-
mature graves with the cpitaph--
'pied of farm drugery.''
