THE CHILDREN.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

When the task and the lessons are ended,
And the schools for the day is dismissed,
The little ones gather around me
To bid me good night and be kissed
oh the little white arms that encrcle
My neck in their tender embrace;
oh the smiles that are halos of Heaven,
Shedding sunshine vf love on my face!
Oh my heart grows as weak as woman s,
And the fount of my feelings will flow,
when think Of the paths steep and stony,
Where the feet of the dear ones must go
or the mountain of sin hanging o'or them
ofthe tempests of Fate blowing wild,
For there's nothing on earth half so holy
AS the innocent heart Of childl
They nre idols of heart and of households,
They are angels of God in disguise,
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still CLEANS in their eyesl
Oh those truants from home and from
Heaven,
They have made me more manly and mind
And know, now, how Jesus could liken
The kingdom Of God to q child.
ask not life for the dear ones
All radiant as others have done,
But that life may have just enough sh ad ow
Totemper the glare of the sun;
would pray God to guard them from evil.
But my prayers would bound back to my
self;
All scrnph may pray for o sinner,
But u sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily bonded,
have bnnished the rule and the rod;
l nave taught them the goodness of fknovl-
edge.
They have taught !ne the goodness of
God;
My heart is n dungeon Of darkness,
Where shut them for breaking rule,
My frewn is sufficient corruption,
My love is the law Of school.
! shall leave the old house in the autumn,
To traverse its threshold no more;
All how shall sigh Tor the dear pnss
Ti'atm meet me each morn at tho door
shall miss the "good nights" and the
kisses.
And the gush Of their innocent glee
The group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning for me-
8! all miss them at morn and at even
Their song in The school and the street;
shall miss the low hum ofrhcir voices,
And the tramp Of tn cir pattering feet.
when the lessons Of life are all ended,
And Death says, "The school Is dismissedi'
May the little ones gather around me,
Tp bid me goodnight and be kissed.

The Farmers Oranges,

The farmers Of the West Ia their new
movements have called their associations
"Granges." 1t is a very expressive, but
more of TN English than American
word. II comes FROM 9ranan, d grain,
and its primary Specification is probably
that of a granary. It's broader meaning
is farm house and its out.buildings.
Some illustration will show .these two
meanings. From the "Song of the
Sower," SO cxquisitely illustrated by the
Applctons, we have.
And from the distant grange there comes
The clatter of the thrashcrs isil
In Millions Comus;
When for their tceming focks and oranges
full
In wanton dance, they praise the bonnteous
Pan.
Measure for Measure, third act gives

The moated grange, resides this

Tennyson's "Mariana in the Moated
Grange, with the blue fly singing i the
panc"-about the weakest thing he has
written, will be remembered by all. Our
farmers could not have chosen more
expressive word.

EYoN COUNTY HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

The Lyon County Horticultural So
clety met pursuant to adjournment in
ths City eouncil room, on Saturday,
JANUARY 18th, with president A. d.
Chambers In the chair.
The questions laid over from tho
last meeting were called in rotation.
The first, on the condition of the peach
buds, was reported on by j. A. New
lin. He had examined his orchard
and found great part of the buds
killed. His trees were. mostly quite
young, which might make some differ
ence.
j. w. Truitt had examined the buds
some ten days ago or two weeks ago.
and found about one half alive.
Prof Chambers suggested that 1t
there vas AN occasional live one to he
found there Is still hope that enough
may be lett 70 produce n crop.
The question, "Is the Rawle'S Janet
Uanlton) apple worthy of general cul-
tivation In Kansas S'' ELECTED quite "a
lively discussion, several members OPP
posln 2 It, and II. II. Gray appearing u
It's champion and backing up It's claims
by producing some unusually fine and
we'll grown specimens Of the fruit. j..
W. Truitt would not recommend It for
very extensive planting, although he
had no practical experience In raising
the apple, hut from his experience in
selliRg trees and his observation In hIs
intercourse amongst farmers and tree
planters, Is OF the opinion that It Is not
generally profitable.
II. Il. Cray faVOra, the Janet, and
thinks It worthy of general cIltlva-
ton, on account of its certain and
heavy bearing qualities. Does not
claim that It Is. of first quality as u
fruit, but taking all Its qualities to-
gether, thinks there are but two that
excel 1t, the winesap and white win
ter Pearmain.
Question: "Do you consider it AZ
good as the wInesap:'' No. But
there Is but little difference between II
and the white winter pearmain.
| Robert Mllliken would not plant il
to any great extent. It deteriorates
i In size and quality rapidly as the trees
get age, and it Is . very difficult fruit

Its principal recommendation Is thai

TIE EMPoRIA NATIONAL BANK
Several changes have lately taken
place In this excellent banking insti-
tuition, one of which we mentioned
last week. Col, r. B. Plumb has been
elected president OF the Institution,
vice Capt. L. 7. Heritage, resigned,
aad Captain Heritage Is again cashier,
In place OF Mr.. ]. +. Perley, who re-
signed. We alluded last week to the
fact that Col. j. NJ. Steele had super
ceded Mr.. Aller as bookeeper. The
officers who retired did so at their own
request. The capital stock was in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000, and
we need only to refer TO the names
composing the board of directors, pub
lished in our advertising columns, as
guarantee that it is one of the sound
est banking institutions in the State.
Tho new president is extensively
known in Kansas and the East, as q
shrewd and successful business man,
and "a one of the best lawyers in the
State. It is because we have known
him more or less intimately for nearly
twenty years, that We can really con-
graduate the bank on his accession to
Its presidency. In every position in
life which he has undertaken to MI lie
has gained the highest success.

REYNoLDs AND THE MULE.-We
don't knew that there Is any similarity
between Mllt. Reynolds and mule.
We wopld not say so. But somehow
the two have got associated ogether,
and when we think of the one the
other forces itself upon our mind.
IAN horse iS a vain thing for safety -
So Is a mule, only a little more so.
But Milt Reynolds Is thoroughly re-
liable, sira. But what we are about To
say, Il this, TO wit: Milt Reynolds Is

which he wants To deliver In EmpOriA.
He wants TO stand, with his manly
