This is ths'na Of "a nsw agricul-
srral organization. sacres in'iss char
acter, but great good to the farming
interest Is promised to be achieved
It's sgancy. Col. D. Wyatt
Aiken, in letter to the Abbeville
Press d Banner, writes thus in refer
ence to this new organization;
q Your readers have. at one time
or another, seen the announcement
that the 9 Patrons of Hlsbandsy
were an organization, banded together
by mystic ties for the benefit Of all
parties directly Interested in the
cause Of agriculture: During q recent
visit to the City Of Washington, l
took occasion 10 investigate this sub
ject carefully, and have no hesitation
in asserting that as organized, 1t can
but be ef fnealeulabls advantage to
the planting interest Of our country,
North, South Bast, and West.
Having beer. prQfEered arssponel,
BE position in the Order, accepted
it solely upon the grounds that, it
would be purely agricultural. Ex-
perience has proven 70 us its virtues,
and while I would not advise amor
eanization a Grangel Of this sort in
any community, simply. upon the
ground of curiosity, / do not hesitate
to advise our planters and farmers to
rtnite and form Oranges everywhere.
I guarantees to them that just so soon,
if ever, that I observe nny politics,
secsarianism, Or other demoralizlhgg
influence, obtruding itself into the
Order, either through the National
or or any State Grange, I will expose
the imposition. and prDsect my fellow
planters from injury or 1oss. -.
"You Will observe, by the enclosed
oonstitutioI, that nine persons may
organize a Grange. Thirty persons
is the maximum number ten of whom
must be females, that may do the
same. It is better to haye the larger
number at first, because the initiation
fee fol; males in the. outset istonly
three dollars, and .sor females fifty
cents; whereas FIVE dollars for males
and two dollars for females IS 'tha
imitation fee to join an organized

where as. many as thirty persons'ds-
siring to organize a Grange may wish
to be informed on the subject. Apart
from the social feature Of the Order,
our people will be astouished to learn
the practical advantage accruing from
tim many of the Northern States,
and in more than oneof the Southern.
A careful reading Of the constitution

by Curry, at which time all per.
sons are invited to be present.
Our informant stated that the
sect had no particular designation,
but was merely a community OF
persons bonded together for the
purpose of exercising their pecu-
liar idea Of religion. From others,
however, we learned that the COL
ony is called the
NEW CANAAN.
There are evidently other tenets
held by this people Of which we
could obtain no knowledge. Sev-
eral Of them have been limited to
US by outside parties, but we re-
frain from stating them as we
have been unable to obtain au.
thentic information on those
points. The colony seems to be
quiet and orderly. They have
purchased farming utensils Of all
kinds, and of the most approved
patterns, and are actively engaged
in planting operations. About
twenty additional families are ex-
pected to arrive some time next
week, when the colony will be
nearly doubled in numbers.

A Thrilling Romance.

Chapter l. She stood beside the
altar with a wreath Of buds upon
her head-upon her back the rich
est kind of duds.
Her lover stood beside her, with
white kids and dickey clean;
the last was twenty-onc years old,
the first was seventeen.
The parsons job was over,
every one had kissed the bride,
aud wished the young pair hap
piness, and laughed and danced
and cried.
The festive scene was ended,
the last words had been said, the
happy maid had simmercd down,
the last gay guest had fed.
Chapter II. She stood beside the
wash-tub, with her red hands in
the suds, while at her slip-shod
feet there lay q pile Of dirty
duds.
Her husband stood beside her,
the crossest man alive; he was
twenty-nine, and she was twenty
five.
The heavy wash was over, and
the clothes hung up to dry, and
Tom had stuck his finger in the
dirty baby's eye.
Tom had been spanked, and
supper made On a crust Of bread
and the happy wife and husband
went grumbling off to bed.

THE LAST TIME.-There is ever
something solcmnizing in the
thought it is the last time. The
last CLEAN Of the day--the last word
before parting-the last look of
life. All these require an impor-
tance and interest vastly beyond
any which they would possess in
and of themselves. The sun shone
bright before he approached his
setting, and the farewell word
spoken was some ordinary one, of
no real weight; the parting look
was one which we would other
wise have forgotten. But no
MONDAY splendor was so cherished
in memory as that which disap-
peared in spark Of gold over
the western hills, and no one tone
in all our converse dwelt on the
ear so long and clear as that one
word, "good-bye." No look has
been SO often recalled as that smile
of recognition of the pallid face
from whence life was taking it's
flight.
The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1872-08-28

Be EcoNoMIcAL.-Look most to
your spending. No matter what
comes in, IL more goes out, you
will always be poor. The art is
net in making money, but in keep
ing it; little expenses, like mice in
a barn, when they are many, make
great waste. Hair by hair, heads
get bald; straw by straw, the
thatch goes off the cottage; and
drop by drop, the rain comes in
the chamber. A barrel is soon
empty, if the tap leaks but a drop
minute. When you begin to
save, begin with your mouth :;
many thieves pass down the red
lane. The ale Jug is a great waste.
In all other things keep within
compass. Never stretch your
legs farther than the blankets
will reach, or you will soon be
cold. In clothes, choose suitable
and lasting stuff, and not taWdry
fncries. TO be warm is the main
thing; never mind the looks. A
fool may make money, but it
needs wise man to spend it.
Remember it is easier to build two
chimneys than to keep one going.
If you give all to back and board,
there is nothing left for the saw
ings bank. Fare hard and work
hard while you are young, and
you will have a chance to rest
when you are old.

Steam Superseded.

Are we on the eve of another
great revolution Not civil
war, but such 4 revolution as re-
eulted from the invention Of the
locomotive and electric telegraph.
Only thirty years ago Professor
Morse was struggling to get aid Of
Congress to make = trial of his
wonderful invention. And now
another inventor has gained per-
mission of the Government to
make another experiment which
may yet become as interesting an
event in history as the trial Of the
famous electric wire between Bal
1lmore and Washington. The COM
ing man is Albert Brisbane, for 4
time a resident Of Irvington, and
his invention is q kind ofpneu-
matte tube, by means Of which
time and space are 10 be annihi-
lated. His unremitting efforts
last winter succeeded in getting
from Congress an appropriation
of fifteen thousand dollars for the
purpose of laying tube between
the capitol at Washington and the
Government printing-ofice- dis
tance Of half a mile, and if the ex-
pertinent proves satisfactory, ano-
ther appropriation will be granted
for the construction of tube be-
tween Washington and Baltimore,
the ground Of the first telegraphic
triumph. The method of transit
will be by hollow sphere, propelled
through the tube by compressed
air, and some idea Of the velocity
with which they can be driven
may be got from Mr.. Brisbane's
prophecy that the New York pa
pers will be sent to Chicago and
st. Louis in time for the eight
o'clock breakfast table. The gen
cral establishment Of this mode of
transportation would be sad
blow to the rail road system of
the country. An immediate loss
of all freight traffic would ensre
to the rail roads, and they, with
steamboats, that ply our rivers,
would be consigned to the insig- |
nifcance Of mere pleasure ex-
curslon party conveyance.
Although Mr.. Brisbane's inven-
ton has been achieved upon the |
basis Of an old theory, he will de-
serve none the less caedit in case
Of success, for the man who most |
deserves the worlds gratitude is
he by whose effort the world de-
rives practical benefit. The in
7entor's confidence in the result,
and the generally acknowledged |
feasibility ofa practical application |
OF the pneumatic theory seem to
promise success, and is to be hoped
that the coming experiment may
be a satisfactory one.
