WAS peace and concord and amity.

HURON'S PLACE
In the Agricultural Products of Ontario.

Dx T.130S. C-ZOSO.Y, 11.Pr., EAST nInloN..
Huron's place in the agricultural
productions of Ontario is what I in-
tend taking up your time for a little
by way of variation in the program.
Huron takes rank as tho sixth larg•
est county to the province, being
exceeded by Grey, Hastings, Ren•
frew and Bruce in the order named,
Middlesex and Wellington being
next in order. ' Aocoxding to the
census of 1881, Huron seems to
have the largest population of any
county in the province, amounting
to, at that date, 76,526, Sit: + coo
Doming next with 74,808, Grey
with 75,129, Middlesex, 78,385, and
Wellington, including Guelph, 71,-
178. Huron and Groy standing
about equal in regard to age, Mid-
dlesex, Simooe and Welliugton be-
ing at least a decade older. Grey
has the largest amount of cleared
land in the province, amounting to
543,648 acres. Huron next with
537,826, and Middlesex following
with 522,540 acres. In 1880 Hur-
on led the province in the produc-
tion of wheat. According to the
census of the following spring it
produced 2,369,605 bushels of fall
and spring wheat, followed:by Mid-
dleeex with 2,105,409, and $imcoe
next with 1,575,209, and Grey very
alone. Taking the years 1882.88
inclusive Huron has fallen back to
third place with a production of
only 1,.654,585, Simooe leading with
1,701,768, having increased its pro.
duction by 126,000 bushels, Middle.
sex taking 2nd plane, producing
1.679,128, having decreased by
about 420,000 bushels, as against.
Enron's 700,000. The total pro.
duction of wheat in tha province for
1880 was 27,306,091 bushels, as
.against the average for the years
named of 28,026,778 bushels, that
Huron has fallen back, relatively,
as compared with the rest of the
province.
It would lengthen the paper ton
south to go into such a minute com-
parison in regard to other oereals.
An barley Iluron takes only tenth
.place, with an average production
of 742,012 bushels, having increased.
its produetion since 1880 by 204,.
.888 bushels. The counties that
,produce more barley than Huron
,are York, leading with a;production
of 11,662,025, Durham 1,272,004,

production of corn in Iluron does
not amount to much ; 111,700 in
1882 8, having increased since 1880
by 50,000 bushels. The provincial
production having increased in the
same period from 8,006,782 to 12,•

The Mt lathier's Wire At Pryville.
So Benjamin is to be 'a minister,'
and is called to Pryvillo, and you
are going to marry him, Selina.
No doubt, he is interesting ; most
young clergymen are. The par-
sonage, and the dignity of the posi-
tion, and all that, tempts you ; but
you ought to love Benjamin very
much, and be very sure you could
not be happy without him, before
you make up your mind to go to
Pryville.
There will bo a feeling against
you, iu the first place, because you
area stranger. Mammas with five
unmarried daughters apiece will be
ready to criticise you harshly, and
yon must make up your mind at
once to being called worldly.
Apart from that, your life will
not be free from trials. Tho par.
sonage is one of them. It has been
built iu a nice, damp situation, and
the dining.room windows command
a view of the graveyard. There are
toadstools in the collar, and frogs
aft ou the porch to croak of nights.
If there aro any ghosts, they will
have every opportunity of flattening
their noses against the window
panes at midnight, and you will
find it very bard to "keep help" in
consequence.
The hoose ie outwardly decora-
tive, but inwardly all corners, and
very inconvenient. Deacon Dobbs,
who did inost of the building, forgot
that closets were essential to good
housekeepiug, and the stairs are all
corner ones. There is a deep porch
on tho shady side of the house, and
none on the sunny one. In the
"study," facing the church wall,
with a foot or two of alley way be-
tween, no one can see to read, ex-
cept at high noon on a clear day.
But you must not complain. A
minister's wife cannot choose her
house like other folks.
Your beet bedroom is cheerful,
but don't expect to occupy it. your-
self. It will always be full toover-
flowing with oolporteurs, travelliug
deacons, old ministers out of place,
and unheard of elders. Your con-
solation: must be that yous envy be
"entertaining , angels •, unawares,"
th'eiugh-you cannot, feel'gilito confid-
ent of it.
Do not think that you can in-
dulge your taste in dress in Pryville.
If you buy becoming things, you
will be called vain and accused of
being coquettish, Pryville folk, like
to see their minister's wife in mourn-
ing. It looks so proper ; but if
none of your friends are amiable
enough to die, there is a dull and
unbecoming sort of gray - n.ot
French gray, but steel gray -in
which they like to see you attired,,
choked in a largo, hard and unbe-
coming linen collar.
As for amusement, you may go
and hear your husband preach three
times a Sunday ; but you must not.
waste your tine at concerts like
other folk ; and you must never be
seen reading Jack the Giant Killer,
Puss in Boots, Cinderella or Blue -
beard to your children.
Above all things, you must never
hiss your husband goodbye at the
door, Mrs. Deacon Jenkins thinks
that too undignified. Mrs. Chalker
lost NIr. Chalker, the last minister
of Pryville, his pulpit in that way.
In fact, if you are naturally live-
ly, and not disposed to be hypocri-
tical, you wilt find being a minister's
wife at Pryville very hard work.
Pryville changes ire preacher every
two or throe years, and they are all
very glad to be changed. Still, if
you love Benjamin enough, marry
him, Selina.
