FARMER JOHN TO HIS BROTHER. BY n. X. KEEP. 'Phc toll of the week is ended end my team is now at feed, ■ ———-—• -—- JLaura her work hns finished, and now slts.down to read. Our home is very quiet, the children are all at rest, ». As I write this homely letter to the brother I love best. * I have much that’s new to tell you, so do not think it strange To learu by this bit of writing I’m Master of a - .Orange I— _ • , • ’Tis true to secret societies opposed I’ve always been, But this was before the good of co-operation I’d seen. We meet once a fortnight now in Pomona Ball. As we call the furnished upper rooms in the house of Parmer Ball; Some forty of us farmers wHo there can take our ' wives And by work and conversation harmonize our TfvesT We ask each other questions in a social, kindly vein. Learn how to lessen taxes and increase the yield of grain; To whittle down our troubles; to build up for us ’ ’ joys; To beautify our farmer homes —educato our girls and hoys. We look in each other’s faces —we grasp each other’s, hands. As farmers 'and as neighbors we protect each other's lands. We watch each other’s lambs from dogs and wolves that prowl. And as Patrons vote together, while the politieians howl. ~—- : ■ ■.. . r We agree ho more to listen to the grand spread-, eagle speech Ofjthe nng and monopoly agent who takes all in his reach. We are learning to live in harmony, and as flowers from the sod Grow to meet the sunlight, so we're growing up to God. Our home is now far happier than e’er it was before ; Again the bloom’s on Laura’s cheek, as in the davs of yore.- - Qur house is better furnished than it was when you were here, For co-operation a profit left, for all of us last year. Our neighbors now call socially when comes the eventide. As peace, friendship, prosperity do with us now abide. This letter tells the story, so, brother, think not strange If I ask you soon to visit us, and then to join our Grange.

The Grange the Farmer’s University,

The perfection of the Grange will be reached only when those who have been reared under its influences are as intellectual, as refined and as polished as the best class of the inhabitants in our larger towns and cities without their follies, immoralities -and -vices,- By joint efforts, through the medium of the Grange, libraries can easily be procured, lectures delivered and various means of instruction and entertainment provided at trifling expense to the individual, but of the greatest value to all. Each of 100 members by contributing the small sum of one dollar toward the purchase of a Grange library would thereby place it in. the power of each member to enjoy the advantages of a liundred-dollar library, all for the inconsiderable sum of one dollar. Such is the value of co-operation. Thus through the instrumentality of the Grange do we place in our homes hundreds of good books and scores of conveniences and pleasures which are practically unattainable by the individual. It will have been noticed by all who are observant that those farmers who are best informed are the most prosperous and most contented. This is true of otlire occupations as well as that of farming, but it is of the occupation of agriculture only that we speak at this time. Farmers generally, and especially farmers’ wives, are overworked. They work too many hours in a day, too many days in a week, and too many weeks in a year. Nothing is gained in the end by thus slaving the life away. Though most farmers regard it a necessity, yet it is through the Grange we arc to learu better; andjthe sooner we set about it the sooner shull we see that we might have done so before. Let us get together in the Grange, and, by thinking a little, devise some plan of dividing our hard work with the sleek and well-fed middle-man, and of sharing »rportion of his elegant leisure. Of course he will object to this show of generosity on our part, but we must press our courtesy upon him until there shall be something like a fair distribution of the good things of this world between us. We do not demand extraordinary privileges; we demand justice. We do not labor to pull others down; we labor to build ourselves up. Six thousand years of single-handed effort has failed to accomplish any satisfactory results in that direction, and it is but the part of common wisdom to try other means "to lighten our labors and enhance our profits. The Grange is the salvation of the farmer, and needs only to be maintained by energetic, intelligent, and, above all, harmonious action to accomplish all the desirable results within the scope of auy human institution. Stand by the Grange, then!--Sustain it by zealous labor and the persistence which of. itself insures success. With it you are sovereigns with your scepter in your hands; without it you are on the high road to vassalage.— Northern Granger.

In Essentials, Unity; in Non-Essentials, Liberty; in All Things, Charity.

Such is the motto which the National Grange adopted in its Declaration of Purposes. It is a.worthy motto. In our unity lies our strength; a truth so manifest that it needs no illustration or enforcement. But unity implies the sur 1 render of individual liberty; implies concert of action,-and implies a one purpose which all understand', and which all make effort to accomplish. To enter our gates is, so far as obligations to the Order restrict and the good of the Order and the attainment of its purposes require, to give up individual opinions and forego individual effort. The novitiate should understand this at the start, and if it does not meet his views or his convenience he should withdraw from us. Once within, he has indeed his right, with other members, to explain and insist upon his own views, and it surely i 3 his duty to do so; but when that is done, ■the 'decision of the majority should receive his hearty support, whether, privately, it pleases him or not. The restrictions which the Grange imposes are meanttp be not burdensome, and in al,l that is non-essential to ,the furtherance of its positive designs it iriiposes no.bonds,. but accords the largest liberty. In politics it favors no party and opposes none. In religion it discriminates against no church, and adheres to none. In social life’it offers its own excellent facilities, but frowns not on others. In business pursuits it encourages the greatest freedom of individual enterprise, devoting its energies to the removal of obstructions which lie in the way and the breaking of bonds which might entoil and iestrain. In education it gives its encouragemfeht to all ipen; but it sternly demands that the rights and the proper instruction of laboring men shall be first considered, and the refined and luxurious accomplishments of the wealthy and the in-

dolent shall not be gained at the cost of the poor and the ignorant. The union is for the purpose of making a common, effort to free ourselves from the enthrallments of prejudice and superstition, the oppressions of monopolies, the depredations of scheming dishonesty, and the failures which come from ignorance and weakness; a union which, in the end, shall give us a larger liberty, but which for the present requires the harmonizing of individual opinions and methods, and the consolidating of individual eftorts. Our Order has no narrow bounds to its charity. ' It is, to be sure, an organizationof farmers and it looks primarily to the enlightenment and the assistance of the farmers as a class; but it well knows that “the field is the world,” and. that men are men, with the rights, duties and privileges of men, whether they be farmers or otherwise; and it knows that manhood-is of far more consequence than any class-hood, and fellowship as men than any fellowship as a class. The field is the world, and may the time soon come when all men, of all lands, forgetting, class distinctions, despising class prejudices and learning that class interests are best served when the common good and the general interest are sought out and fostered-, shall be as one brotherhood. — Patron's Helped*.

A Courageous Chief.

Letters from St. Petersburg speak of a remarkable feat of determination on the part of Gen. Trepoff, the head of the St. Petersburg police, who had given in early life .extraordinary proofs of personal courage. A fearful double murder was recently committed at the military academy of the city by a policeman, who; being attached to the female servant of the doctor of the establishment, fancied he had cause to suspect her of infidelity. Having entered the doctor’s quarters to upbraid her, lie ended by taking up a carving-knife and killing the unfortunate woman on the spot and then slaying the doctor himself with it in liis study. Here he locked himself in with the instrument of his crime, and vowed he would dispatch the first man with it who attempted to arrest him. The police summoned to the spot were awed by liis apparent determination, while some proposed to Shoot him as a wild beast, and' a party -went in search -of a fire-engine with a view of drenching him into surrender. A report of the occurrence reached Gen. Trepolf. Springing into the droschky, which is kept ready for emergencies, the General was on the scene in a few minutes. He ordered the door to be burst open, and then entered, unarmed. As he expected the murderer retreated into a corner, prepared to sell his life dearly. The General approached him unhesitatingly, with the words: “ Well, my friend, you have committed a pretty pair of murders, aud I hear you are going to stick any one who tries to take you. Now stick me; for I have come on purpose to take you myself.” The wretched man was so awed by the quiet and authoritative manner of his former superior that he lowered liis weapon and made no reply to the challenge, and two of the police officers who had followed Gen. Trepoff sprang on him and secured him without further resistance. It is hot surprising the St. Petersburg police, in relating the story, declare their chief to be the bravest man in Russia. —Pall Mall Gazette.

Did Not Take the Prize.

"Our county fair is just over; but Johnson's Cotswold ram did not take tlie prize that was offered for the best animal of that kind. Judge Pitman was -Chairman of tlie Committee on Rams, and lie manifested the deepest interest in Johnson’s ram; indicating clearly that if any sheep ought to take a prize that one ought to. Johnson’s ram was by itself in a pen with a high board fence, and before adjudicating the prizes the Judge he had better go in and make a close examination of the animal for tlie purpose of ascertaining the fineness of its wool, etc. As soon as the Judge reached the interior he walked toward the ram, whereupon the ram began to lower its head and to shake it ominously. Just as the Judge was about to feel the fleece the ram leaped forward and planted its head in the Judge’s stomach, rolling him over on the ground. Before the Judge had time to realize what had happened the ram came at him againand began a series of promiscuous butts, each given with the precision and force of a pile-driver. It butted the Judge on the back, on the ribs, on his arms, on his shoulder-blades, on the bald place on his cad, on his breast, on Ins shins; it butted bis nose, it butted his watch into a mass of loose cog-wheels, it butted his spectacles off, it butted his high hat into black-silk chaos; it butted him over into the corner apd up against the fence, then it butted four boards out of the fence, butted down another of the committee, butted three small boys into fits, butted tlie money-taker at the gate, and then fled out into tbe country, butting liarmlessly at the fresb air. The Judge did not distribute the prizes that day. When they collected him from various parts of the pen, they wiped the mud from his trowsers and the blood from his nose, and sent him home with a perennial stomach-ache and a determination to start after that wandering mutton the first thing in the morning with a shotgun.—Max Adder, in Danbury News.

A New Immigration.

A new emigration’to the United States is in a fair way 1 of being accomplished, ■which will tend to develop the resources of Alaska as well as furnish a considerable increase of hardy toilers to our national population. A committee of three persons, chosen by the people of Iceland, is now in this country looking for a habitation for the entire people of that ancient island. A war vessel has beenlpromised these nmut-coiireurn for the purpose of inspecting the coast of Alaska. They claim that by reason of climatic changes their native home is no longer suitable for a residence; that it lias become too barren to offer the usual opportunities of deriving a comfortable living,\ and that starvation is prevented only by securing from other lands the bare necessaries of life. Alaska, they feel insured, is sufficiently cool. It is preferred to Canada, where a strong influence is now' endeavoring to attract them. They promise to work the fisheries, supply the Pacific States with lumber, build ships as in former times at home, raise cattle and other commodities, and’, lastly, furnish through their children a body of sailors for the Pacific coast trade. They are poor but determined; and wish, if the Goyeriiment w ill grant them the necessary assistance, to inaugurate the emigration at once.— Every. Saturday.
