MAJESTY or THE Law.
Another desr woman not only went
through this endisss routine Of hard
toll, but in addition to it planned and
directed foe an inefficient husband,
and finally, after years Of patient en-
deavor, accumulated considerable
property. Then her husband and
children died. and the majesty Of the
law must be vindicated by taking two
thirds Of the property and giving 1t to
his drunken brother. Ofcorse these an.

this beautiful state may be realize how

that the men Of our western States are
In advance of those OF the east and

talents and requirements. Year AFTER

have erased the last vestige ofbArbarism
from our laws. In this good dwork the
farmer has been faithfully keeping
step with men In other callings.

THE GRANGE.
The farmers family has suffered
more from isolation than from all 9TH
er causes combined. Happily there
are many indications Of y change In
this respect. The farmer haH At least
seen the necessity of Cooperation.
Woman is NATURALLY more social than
man. aud Is II SO difficult for her to be
happy without pleasant society that

the women Of the farm -houss look up-
On the Grange ~ good angel comes

age.
We have too many farmers who
look upon their calling as only means
to most unworthy end-that Of meare-
ly making motley enough TO allow
them to escape from ies precincts q
speedily a. possible. They are the
traitors who teach the young folks
that anything is better and more re-
spectacle than farming. The Grange
will counteract their miserable tshch.
ings. Its principles, rightly under
stood and applied, will not only In.
crease the farmers income and sur
round him with more Of the com forts
Of life, but what Is far more cheering,
It will be made the nucleus for social
and mental improvement. Libraries,
essays, lectures, discussions and other
pleasant conversation will be its nat
lral Outgrowth, aud these cannot fail
20 quicken and strengthen the best
impulses and cultivate the graceful
Of life, till our rural popula-
lion shall be recognized by oil a. the
very best representatives Of our grand
Republic. 1t will, indeed, be . sad
ending to the pure and beneficent pur-
poses Of this society II an ambitious
few shall convert it's meetings into
political harangues and intrigues.
l would not insist that the farmers
should u yer unite for their own de-
ense, but il seems clear to me that the
part Of their struggle, II IL
must come should be Kept outside Of
he Grange. If brought within II, 1t
will be certain - create discord aud
and destroy the order, and
hisswould be disaster to the farmer
lnd direct robbery Of his wife and
to whom the Grange has al.
ready become the means Of social and
mental improvement. Please, gen.
lemen, don't fight your battles 30 in
udiciOusly that you undermine and
iestroy your house. Your shells
'hould not be allowed to burst In our
