THIRTY YEARS SILENT.
Mrs. Merrifie DIS Adherence to the Vow
Provoked by Her Husband.

Mrs. Merrifie DIS Adherence to the Vow
Provoked by Her Husband.
The death of Mrs. Susan E. Merrifcld
reviveS interest in one Of the most pc
culiar cases ever known of VOW of
silence made ard kept thirty years, says
an Americas (Ga.) dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Times. In 1860 Mrs. Merri-
field who, it is said. was little woman
of a peculiarly bright and CHEEKY dis
position, was telling her husband of
some occurrence, when he requested her
in a very surly manner to be silent,
adding that the sound OF her voice was
hateful to him.
1t seems that Mr.. Mortified, while a
good husband in every other way, was
in the habit of venting his displeasure
when aroused by outside matters by i'll
humor with his wife, whose good nature
usually passed his testiness by, but on
this occasion she replied that as it was
hateful to him he should never hear
her voice again. And he never did, nor
did any other person ever hear it, for in
spite of her husbands remorse and
circumstances from friends and rel
atives, Mrs. Merrifield kept her
vow, though she continued to act
the part or good wife and
mother, fulfilling every duty scrupulous-
~. She even bore three children to her
husband after this VOW was taken.
When communication was absolutely
necessary with those about her she used a
slate, but reduced q language of signs to
such perfection in governing her house
hold and children that it WAS but seldom
that this slate was reSortcd to.
1t was thought that when her husband
died she would resume the use of her
speech, but while She sat by his dying
bed, devoted and loving to the last, in
answer to his supplications- that she
speak but q word to him, wrote on the
slate with all the evidences of grief: Il
can not, | can not! God forgive and help
me. | can notr' But whether it was
that she found it impossible to break
her will and her VOW, or that long dis
use had affected her organs so that she
really could not use them, could not be
arrived at, but her family inclined to
the latter belief. for it is said that while
on her own dcath-bcd she made distinct
aud Intellectual efforts to speak to her
children, dying with the seal of silence
unremoved from her lips.

them know any thing about it, of
course, but that don't make any differ
ence. 1t simply gives the ill-disposed
imagination a big swing, and yet old
bachelors and old maids think that they
have a sort of oracular right to denounce
the marriage relation-just as much
right. perhaps as the fox has to sit and
look up at grapes soured by distance.
Marriage is also getting to be unpopu-
lar with the men who collect statistics
of crime. 1t takes many a job out of
their hands, and gives them more time
than they relish to rule blank columns
and speculate on the degeneracy of
primitive institutions.
Finally, marriage is getting to be I'M

cynic, the hermit and the man who
would like to see the world rolling
swiftly down to destruction like a big
football. Yes, marriage certainly is an
unpopular institution with some per-
sons, but it is an institution that the
world is going to try to put up with for
q little while longer at least.

How to Make Them Attractive to Owner
as Well as Traveller.
Owners and occupants of farms and
country places possess important adj
vantages over the residents of towns
and cities, in the broader scope for
planting ornamental and shade trees
for surrounding their dwellings. They
can improve and plant with scarcely
trenching on their acres for farming.
They need not fall into the mistake
which some farm-owners make, in their
endeavor to save every square rod of
ground, by placing the dwelling nearly
on line with the boundary of the pub
lie highway, and converting the high
way into a barn-yard.
All the advantages of shade and seclu-
sion may be secured by a judicious use
of trees and lawn, with near proximity
to the public road, by an arrangement
like that represented in Fig. 1. The
dwelling is placed quite near to the
