Tho Wedding Ring.

The associations called up by wed
ding ring are very touching, and it is
the last thing that even the poorest wife
will part with. If it ever was consider
ed badge Of servitude, it now is much
more suggestive of queenship and SOW
ereignty. An old Latin writer thus de-
scribes the ring: 1t is circular, because
the mutual love and hearty affection
of matrimony should be forever, their
continuity remaining as unbroken as
the circlet itself 1t is an old-and ex-
ploded-notion that the ring ID placed
upon the fourth finger because small
artery connects with the heart. The
real reason probably is that the left
hand is not used as much as the right,
and the fourth finger less than the other
fingers

greater degree of interest manifest ed
than we have noted for some time. The

portart changes made. The boys and
girls are to have special inducement to
make much larger exhibit than ever be-
tore. A large amount was added to the
premium list in order to induce dairymen
to exhibit stock and butter. Details of
these plans will soon appear, and it was
the earnest wish of all present to make
our next exhibition a farmers fair in

be successful, if the rest will help as they
ought.
