An English clergyman at seaton,
England, refused to bury little boy who
was accidentally drowned, the other day,
because he was not properly baptized,
although named aud registered. The
man who risked his life in attempting to
save the little fellow, did not, II appears,
inquire whether the child had been bap'
tized or not before he plunged into the
river; and tie opinion is freely expressed
in that neighborhood that the religion Of
the man who did his best to save the lost
boy is Of n great deal better sort than
that OF the parson.

the Monkey RsIlgisn-A Leaf for

female monkey and carried Il TO his tent
which was soon surrounded by forty or
fifty of the tribe, who made great noise
and seemed disposed 10 attack the az
gressor. They reiterated when he pre-,
sented his fowling.piece, the dreadful,
effect Of which they had witnessed, and
appeared perfectly TO understand. The
head of the troop, however, stood bis
ground, babbling furiously; the sports
man, who, perhaps, felt some little degree,
Of eompunction for having killed one OF
the family, did not like to fire at the
creature, and nothing short OF firing
would suffice TO drive him off Atlength
he came to the door Of the tent, and,
finding threats Of no avail began a
lamentable moaning. The hunter, IN
order TO test the affection Of the monkey
for its dead relative, carried the corpse
outside and watched the actions OF the
tribe. In a few minutes the monkeys
assembled around their dead comrade
and after going through some unknown
ceremony, gently raised the body on
their shoulders and carried it of into the
depths of the iorest-no doubt for the
purpose Of interment in accordance with

The GRANGE ADVANCE solicits correspon-

the Oranges. It proposes to be a medium
through which the Oranges and the farmers
generally, may avail themselves Of each
others experience. Any man who expects
to succeed in this age must aid his own ex-
perience by that of others engaged in the
same trade or calling. Two men will do
an equal amount Of work, and one will reap
twice the benefits from his labor that the
other will, because he has worked intell;-
gently, and made every stroke count, while
the other has gone at it hap hazard. 1t is
not the amount that man reads that counts,
but the amount that he reads ON his own
business-that which he con make available

WHERE THE DANGER LIES.

Agriculture has always been looked upon
in America with respect. In the early
days Of the Republic the farmers and plant
ers were among the chief men Of the Na!
tion. Never las the farmer come down to
the low level Of the peasantry of Europe.
The reason Of this has been, not only the
absence of land-lordism, the fact that the
American tiller owned his own soil, but it
has been because agriculture has had the
dignity of independence and profitableness
The great danger now is that this profta-
bleness Of agriculture in the West is to be
destroyed. .. 49,. . ...
Large grants of land, and large bounties
have been given to railways; to them has
been loaned the public credit; the right of
way has been granted them often with the
express promise upon the part of the
roads that they should be so operated as
to make better markets for grain in the
regions through which they should pass,
that they should open this western country
so that the tilling of its rich soil should be
profitable, and always with the implied
agreement that they should carry freights
for reasonable rates and, thereby be great
public benefit. ,.s.s.:.s 6.s ~,.,t, .r5
Relying on these promises and repre-
sentations Of the railways, men leftseastern
homes, and homes beyond the ocean, and
came to the western wilds and with hardy
industry went to work expecting adequate
returns for their labor; expecting and be-
lieving that when they had conquered the
soil and made it yield its rich harvests,
they should through these railways find q
profitable market. But now that the
country is developed, and they and their
families settled in their homes, and their
farms begin to yield abundant haryests Is
returns for their toll. what Of the rail-
Ways? Simply this, the men who operate
them being situated 50 that combination
was easy have combined, not, to better
carry out their promises, but to violate
them, and after quietly pocketing the
bounties and land grants, to extort from
the people what they have dug out Of the
soil If the railroads succeed, farming in
sections having no other outlets than rail-
ways must become still more unproftabls,y
