The Grave.

What a refuge from shame, from lgno-
miny, from malice, from disaster. from en-
nifty, is the grave. 1t is fortress Of
strength for the weak; it is home of char
ity for the disgraced: it affords blessed
rest for the weary and heavy laden; it
extracts the sting from the tooth Of malice; ;
it disarms enmity; it palsies the tongue Of
SANDER; it covers as with thick mantle
the faults, the frailties, and the errors Of
fallen humanity, while it neither dims or
furnishes its goodness and virtues. Here
the weeper weeps no more. Here the
mourner is comforted. Here the distressed
is relieved of his grievances, and the sor-
rows, pain. and woe Of earth are forever
banished. Here the greedy grasp no more.
and the extortioner ceases to wiring from
the hand of poverty and toll. Neither ra-
pacity or oppression, ever enter these
peaceful precincts. Here the naughty and
the humble repose on the same couch. The
high and the low, the rich and the poor,
the oppressed and the oppressor, the noble
and the serf, lie down together.

THE State Grange has designated the
Favmers' Union as the Grange organ, in
stead Of the ADVANCE, which thus becomes
the Grange Decline.-G Goodhue County Repub-
lican. ssc- ..5 :
Now won't the Republican please tell the
truth once in while just for the sake Of
variety. We can conceive of no reason
why it published the above falsehood ex-
eept it be a little petty malice toward The
GRANGE ADVANCE, because the Republicans
subscription list perhaps has been grow
ing less ever since the establishment OF
the ADVANCE. The falsehood repeated in
the above extract was undoubtedly first
given currency by the editor Of the Farmers
Union, but had been corrected by the St.
Paul Press, and The GRANGE ADVANCE. be-
fore the Republican was published But
the Republican was so tickled with the idea
that The GRANGE ADVANCE was to" become
the Grange Decline" that it could not give
up the blessed hope all of sudden. and so
it published falsehood. Perhaps by next
week it will be able to retract the lie. We
shall see. In the mean time, much as we
dislike to blast the Republican new born
hope that the ADVANCE is in decline, the
truth compels us to say that every working
day of the week swells the subscription
list of THE GRANGE ADVANCE. Thanks to
it's brave and earnest friends.

ED1roRs OF TIE GRANGE ADVANCE:

= . ~
The Farmers Guild Grange met on the
Goth inst, in the afternoon, and elected
their officers for the ensuing year. Our
delegate had returned from the State
Grange and brought some very interesting
reports from that honorable body, not only
interesting but very encouraging to US.
tell you it begins to look like business, and
as though we were going to amount to
something. believe the farmer IS able to
paddle his own canoe. believe they have
got just as much brains as any other
class. believe we can buy our farm i'm
plements from the manufacturers just as
we'll as to buy them of the middlenen. The
farmer has to support them, and think II
we can put those men aside, we shall have
accomplished q great thing. There is also
a great work to be done in our wheat mar
ket. When drive into your beautiful
town, almost every other man seems to be
a wheat buyer. They will jump on our
loads, and we have more live stock to pull
through your streets than we have wheat.
Who pays those men? I answer, the farm
er. l have brought wheat to your town
for eleven years for the last five years
have not sold load Of wheat to one Of those
middlemen. Farmers, drive your wheat to
the warehouse and sell it there and if you
all do that, those men will be scarce. and they
can afford to pay more for our wheat. We
are not able to pay those men forty or fifty
dollars per month. Now 1 would say to
the farmers, try to inform yourselves on
all things; take plenty Of newspapers, and
keep up to the times; watch our public
men, as our Legislature is soon to convene !;
keep your eyes on the men that you have
sent there. If they do we'll give them
credit for it; if, on the other hand, they
are led by railroad lobbyists or unscrupu-
lous politicians, dishonor them when they
come home, and be sure not to send them
any more. The Farmers Guild Grange has
supplied themselves with good library to
while away the winter evenings. That is
a good thing. If all Oranges should do this
it would be wise in them. We need good
books, good papers, and thus keep our
selves posted on all subjects. Be good
Patrons, law abiding citizens, and we shall
triumph over all our enemies.

write for its columns. Thinking something
from Valley Grange would be acceptable
1 will try my Impractical hand in the art.
Valley Grange is in running order. Our
last meeting passed off very pleasantly and
agreeably to all present. The Grange pur-
poses to meet the first Monday evening in
each month in the school house in District
No. II. Members Of other Oranges are COR
daily invited to attend. By the way, it is
very amusing to hear the remarks made
about the Oranges by some people who are
dependent on the farmers for the money
they make. Not long since one Of these
sage individuals remarked: go let them
work, they will come to naught soon. The
farmers are too ignorant, and too selfish to
combine" Brother farmers, let US brighten
up our intellects by meeting in the Grange

For the Grange Advance,

The ebulitions Of spleen and jealousy
exhibited in the last issue Of the Goodhue
County Republican, towards the ADVANCE is
one OF the most contemplate and drivel-
ing efforts have ever met with of one pa
per endea voring to injure another. The
editor Of that paper must be compound
of malignity, jealousy and hate, that I
should hope for humanity's sake would be
very seldom found. 1t is villainous COM
pound, and all should give it a wide BERTH
He should remember that s'Lies, like
chickens, come home to roost.'' By the
way, Mr.. Editor, the Secretary Of the State
Grange owes it to the friends of the AD-
VANCE and the "Order'' generally to re-
buke the editor of the Farmers Union for
making garbled statement Of the pro-
ceedings Of the State Grange, in not pub
fishing the resolution Of the Grange in re-
gard to official organs. Bro. Abernethy
must not let jealousy take possession Of
him, and we will help our mite to support
his paper as we'll as the ADVANCE, as we
need them both we must '' dwell together
in unity"
Do right, be just, and fear not. "United
we stand, divided we fall.'' Let us always
tell things as they occur, then nothing or
nobody will be misrepresented heart
burnings and ill feeling will be unknown in
our Order May peace be our heritage.

VOOuHUE, DcC .1St, 1Clo
EDlroRs OF THE GRANGE ADVANCE:
Having taken your excellent paper since
its first issue, and as like it very much,
have helped to spread it among the Patrons
and farmers here. l like the stand you
take on the great question of the day,
Who shall rule-the laboring masses or the
moneyed few? desire to contribute what
I can to help in the good cause. 1t seems a
good time to be thinking something about
law-making, just now, and see that the
Grange in Featherstone is not quite satis-
fed with last winters law in relation to
cattle and fences. Now had hoped that
this question was at rest, and we should
be allowed to try and see how it would
work to let every man take care of his own
cattle. They seem to like that part of it,
but want division fence. Now if I un-
derstand it, one Of the objects of that law
is to save the expense of fencing, or throw
it on to those who want a fence. Now to
explain, if own twenty head of cattle. and
my neighbor B. has nothing but his horses,
which he keeps up all the time, he says
he wont raise cattle, and his wheat, oats
and barley will not come on to my land and
why should he be compelled to fence to
keep my cattle off his land? get the
profit on the cattle, not he. Why should
he build the fence? But says one, it is the
line what Of it? will not few stakes
tell us where it is? But I may want the
feed there for my cattle in the fall very
we'll then, should put up the fence myself,
as I have the benefit of it and not my
neighbor; if my neighbor wants to pasture
next to me we may mutually agree to put
up fence. But pray tell me by what
right can l claim that the law shall oblige
neighbor B., who does not want fence,
to help me to make a pasture for my cattle.
But says another, good line fences make
good neighbors. Will it not do just as
we'll to have them. around my cattle as to
have them just on the line and here is
the saving; we can fence in what cattle
we want cheaper than we can fence our
whole farms. We have had division
fence-law, and has it made division fences?
No. Go all over the country and not one
fourth Of the farms have such fences.
What is the reason? Why the scarcity of
timber. Will it be any plentier? Not very
soon think. Why then shall we not try
the new law we have tried the old one,
and we have no line fences that are worth
the name in two-thirds of the county.
Why then try to 60 back. to the old plan of
trying to make B. help to take care of AS
cattle. But am reminded that this letter
is getting long. Yours truly,

This is the revival among the colored
people of which we spoke last week-at
their Church Baptist on Shaw's Creek
near the old Hatcher Mill. From the
Rev. Aleck Bettis, pastor of said church,
we have received polite and intelligent
note, giving us some items of the Meet
ing. 1t closed ON Sunday last, upon
which day the extraordinary number OF
two hundred and thirty three persons
were baptized. This good pastor, who,
as bond or free, has always borne very
excellent character, utters some earnest
words of cxhorta,ion to all his colored
co-laborers in The vineyard to be more
vigilant, more untiring, for the spiritual
regeneration of their race. He very cor
daily acknowledges the cooperation OF
his reverend brothers, Jones, Bucket.
