rrlaRe nv Halter,

Among ignorant people Of English
birth 1t Is fully believed that a wife
bought with money or goods Ii legally
married II the purchaser leads her all
the way home by a halter.
MI, Barring Gould, the English anti
quarian, tells of a village poet known
to him who bought a wife for a half
crown and led her 10 miles to his cot
tage,
The squire and the rector protested
to the village poet that he was not
legally welded,
"Why, yes ! be" he replied. "Ill
take my Bible oath ! never once took
the halter off till she'd crossed the door
sill and the door was shut"
The latest instances of such wife sales
occurred in 1888 and 1850, when WON
en- We're sold In Little Horton and In
Dudley, In these cases a blue ribbon
took the place of the straw halter.
But, gentle ladies, the symbolic idea
was the same.
