Unappreciated Blessings.
POTATO BUG.

How many are the unappreciated
blessings We enjoy, missed only when
some sudden change in life causes their
withdrawal from our grasp. Even the
glorious sunlight that brightens our
every day life, is missed only during a
long protracted season Of clouds, gloom
or storms. The familiar step of those
we love, our home landscape and sur
roundings, seldom are appreciated except
when among strange scenes in distant
lands. The dear, kind, little words and
loving acts of our own household band,
what Importance they assume when we
wander sadly amid strange faces and
unsympathizing hearts: How like sweet
est far-of. music their love-tones steal to
the heart and memory Of the absent,
homesick way-farer. How tenderly the
refrain of the home song echoes to the
weary, longing soul. I. r. G.

labor, and see that the merchant gives
us the worth Of our money, then We can
get along without those postal cards.
All men Me not in the hands Of the
merchants those who are out Of debt
can get their goods at reasonable prices.
But let me say to you who are out Of
debt, the hand of misfortune may yet be
laid on you, then you will cry out the
answer will be did you help your brother
in his time Of trouble ? If you do not
help how can you expect to get help ?'
Now we poor men do not ask you for
money, but help us by your influence to
get paid reasonable prices for our labor.
You may talk and read Of slaves but I
tell you-for I know by experience
there is no slave so loaded as the poor
debtor. Merchants and bankers burst
up worth from thirty to forty thousand
dollars, then set some of their clerks to
start store or bank in their name, then
go for the poor farmer the best they can,
the one poor but honest, the other rich
but rascal and still respected. Il L.

and seek to add permanency and stability

TRENTON, PIERCE Co., WIS,
Dec. 9TH, 1873.
Editors Of The Grange Advance:
DEAR S1Rs Trenton Grange had
special meeting last. night for the pur-
pose of initiating new members, and con-
ferring the degrees on nine others. Our
regular meetings are on the second and
fourth Saturdays of each month, and all
good Patrons of Husbandry are cordially
invited.
At a previous meeting we had taken a
vote to take active measures to organize
a County Council, so last night we elected
five delegates to meet in convention
to be held at Ellsworth on the 18th of
this month. The following are the dele
gates elected: Our Master, G. A. Nero,
+. A. Dopkins, L. johnson, VIM. Shaver
and E. H. Boustead.
Among other things we had some
good music on brother Cowell's organ,
and several Of our worthy sisters aided it
with singing, which drove care from ones
mind. The older Patrons seemed to en-
joy it full as much as the younger, at
least their smiling countenances testified
as much. e..
We had so much business to attend
that we did not give the wood matter
any consideration. But I notice that
teams from our side stand on the street
until sundown. Since you have given
us the privilege to discuss the matter in
your paper, would here suggest that
we have meeting called at the White
school house in Hartland, to talk upon
the subject. All in Trenton are ready
for it now; how is Hartland and Isa-
belle g.? let us hear from them. We do
not want extortionate prices for wood,
but while we pay 81 per cord for chop
ping we want half that much for stump
age, and So per day for hauling, when
we have to keep all things in repair and
furnish everything. -
It costs forty dollars for a pair of
bob sleds. Now I wonder how much
the manufacturer makes a day on the
same sleds, while making them. There
is one thing do know; we work both
winter and summer, hot and colo, and
we have to go a great deal poorer dressed
than those men that buy our wood, and
then they keep sending those postal
cards to have us pay up when they know
they have got all the money we have
They charge us with extortion for the
articles we receive, and, then II per
cent. when We buy on time, and if; we
should object they. threaten the law. a1:stt
You may ask why do We get in debt.
