Farmers Associations.

The following will serve as guide to such
farmers as may desire to organize farmers
conventions after the model suggested by the
State Farmers Association. The constitution
should briefly set forth:
Art /. The name of the club
Art 2 Its objects: to promote social, moral
and intellectual intercourse
Art j. Who shall he members: how chosen
membership fee 81 per annum, in advance.
Art 4. Its officers, and standing committees
on various subjects, such as soils, grasses
grains, vegetables, fruits and flowers, domestic
animals library, buying anG selling and such
other subjects as may suggest themselves.
Art .. Time of meetings. and special meet,
ings to be called by the president.
Art. 6. Constitution how amended. ...-.
Art Z. TO take your county papers and pay
for them, and keep posted on the events of the
day

THE ANTr-MoNOPoLY PARTY, if properly en-
ginecred, will sweep everything before it in
this state at the coming elections In this
county it is rapidly enlisting nnc.tcnths of the
farmers and large proportion of the business
men. As an instance, we have been shown a
list of the names Of the voters in the town of
Mission who have joined either farmers club
or grange, and it embraces full 95 per cent
of all the voters in the town. None but the
hide-bound republican precinct politicians Oh,
shy of the movement, for they see very clearly
that if it succeeds il must be the death of the
radical party which upholds and is itself solely
upheld by the monopolists.

Important Railroad Decision.

The long looked for railroad decision in tht
case of The People. &c, ex rel Gustavus Kpr
ner, r. =. Morgan and ID. S. Hammond. rail
road commissioners, vs.. The Chicago, Alton 4
ST Louis II. X. Company has been announced
and the case goes against the People. The
Court, however, narrow their decision down tc
a very fine point.
The case was this: The railroad law of this
state tOrbids all determinations in frcigh,
charges against any way stations on the line
Now, the Chicago & Alton road had charged
$3.50 to carry 1000 feet of lumber from Chica-
go to Lexington, while it charged but $500 for
carrying the same amount of lumber from Chi,
| cago to Bloomington, 1G miles further. This
was then clearly Il violation of the clause of
the statute torbidding such discrimination.
The penalty prescribed by the statute for such
violation is a forfeiture of the franchise of the
company. The Court however, decide this par
ticular clause of the statute to be unconstitu-
ton is too broad, the Legislature, under the
constitution, in the opinion of the Court, hav-
ing power only to prohibit unjust discrimina-
ton. The Court does not undertake to say
whether in the particular case made the dis
elimination is just or unjust but it argues at
lensht that cases without number can arise in
which such determinations would be eminent
ly just and proper, and to establish an arb-
trary rule, therefore, that all Determinations
involve guilt without further inquiry, and to
proceed thereupon to forfeit the franchises of
the company, often worth millions of dollars,
would not only be unjust, but Il palpablc vio-
laton of the spirit of the constitution.
The opinion of the Court has the singular
feature, that while it thus decides the case
against the consttutionality of the statute so
far as it affects the point in issue, it proceeds
to construct an elaborate argument in favor of
the full constitutional right of the legislature
to regulate and restrict the railroads of the
state in the matter OF their charges for freights
and fares. "Conceding to the full extent claimed
the invioability of railroad charters regarded
in the light of contracts" say the Court, I'VE
are still of opinion that the legislature has the
clcarcst right to pass an act for the purpose of
preventing an unjust discrimination in rail \
road frcights, and to enforce its observance by
appropriate penalties"
The sum of it is, we take it, under the de-
csion just rendered, that our railroad law is
only defective in that it prohibits all discrim-
nations instead of such only as are unjust"
and when it is amended in this particular, so
as to leave the question whether discrimina-
ton is just or unjust to the courts instead of
deciding it by an arbitrary rule, the law will |
be dycsted of its unconstitutional features and |
fully sustained and enforced by the courts

LAUGHING CHILDREN. - Give me
(says writer the boy or girl who smiles
as soon as the first rays of the morning
sun glance in through the window, gay,
happy and kind. Such a boy will be fit
to make" up into man-at least when
contrasted with sullen, morose, grabbed
fellow, who snaps and snarls like a surly
cur, or growls and grunts like an un-
tanned hyana from the moment he opens
his angry eyes till he is confronted " by
his breakfast. Such a girl, other things
being favorable, will be good material
to aid in gladdening some comfortable
home, or to refine, civilize, tame and hu-
mamie a rude brother, making him gen.
tie, affectionate and lovable. 1t is a
feast to even look at such a Joy -inspir-
ing girl, such a woman girl, and see the
smiles flowing, SO to speak, from the
parted lips, displaying a set of clean,
well-brnshed teeth, looking almost the
personification of beauty and goodness,
singing, and as merry as the birds-the
wide awake birds that commenced their
morning concert long before the lazy
boys dreamed that the sun was approach
ing and about to pour whole flood of
light and warmth upon the earth. Such
girl is like a gentle shower to the
parched earth, bestowing kind words,
sweet smiles and acts of mercy to all
around her-the joy and light of the
household.

thick folds, she heard Gelette's voice
speaking;
"Of course the father has failed and
they have lost everything. A great
pity; for with that handsome face she
might have married we'll"
What is to prevent her marrying
we'll nowY" Frank Hoods slow, delibe-
rate tones answered.,
My dear fellow, We all must look
out for the main chance. In fact, was
once little smitten myself, but Of
course it's quite out of the question
now"
Mr.. Hood did not reply; and Clara,
as she stood there with burning cheeks,
was glad that he did not.
| But when she came back 10 preside
at the teatable she was composed as ever,
save that her color was a trihe deeper
than usual.
The storm continued in unabated vio-
lence for two days, during which time
Mr.. Gellette yawned over the weekly
newspaper, smoked his cigar beside the
fire, and systematically ignored Miss
WintriDgham's presence.
A fellow mustn't let himself get en-
tangled" was his reflection.
Frank Hood, however, reasoned other
wise. He haunted Claras footsteps with
lover like persistency he helped her
clean the windows, wipe the dishes, even
essayed to sweep the floors, thereby Gre
ating great confusion. And Clara,
though she declared he was more of a
hinderence than help, liked it.
On the third day the weather cleared
gloriously. and Moses brought round the
strangers horses.
Come Hood !" said Gillette impa-
tiently; " Are you going to stand there
all day making adieus?"
Be off as quick as you like" said
Hood, am not going"
Not going? but business"
Hang businessp was the unaccount-
able reply. What do l care for busi-
ness Miss Wintringham has promised
to be my wife, and my business is here
just at present"
MIR. Gellette muttered a few incohe-
rent congratulations, and road away,
calculating under his breath:
Well, never saw such fool in all
my life"
When Harvey Gellette was gone,
Clara told her lover the truth. At first
Frank was half inclined to be vexed.
l don't want an heiress," said he
biting his lip.
Bat you want me, Frank, don't you ?"
said Clara, with the prettiest coaxing
way in the world.
"Of course l do" said Frauk. "But
had such bright little dream of love
in cottage"
And it shall all come true spite of the
five hundred year"
The young lovers travelled back tete-
G.tete to London, as soon as Moses Peck
hams sister could be induced to take
Clara's place in Aunt Dalmayne's house
hold. What Harvey Gellette's feelings
were when he learned the true state OF
the case We leave for the imaginative
readers to conjecture, for the best OF
tactlcians may out general himself at
times.

A friend of Dean Swift's one day
sent him turbot as present by a sell
vent lad who had frequently been ON
similar errands, but had never received
anything from the Dean for his trouble.
Having gained admission, he opened the
study door, and putting down the fish
on the floor. cried out, rudely, Master
has sent you turbot n
Young man" said the Dean, rising
from his easy chair, Is that the way
you deliver message? Let me teach
you better manners. Sit down in my
chair, we will change places, and l will
show you how to behave in future
The boy sat down, and the Dean, GO
ing out, came up to the door, and max
ing low bow, said; "Sir, master pre-
sents his kind compliments, hopes you
are we'll, and requests your acceptance
of a small present"
"Does he ?" replied the boy. "Re-
turn him my best thanks, and there 5
half crown for yourself"
The Dean thus caught in his own trap,
laughed hartily, and gave the boy a
crown for his ready wit.

The River OF Time.

BY OWEN MEREDITH.
Oil wonderful stream is the River rimel
And it flows through the realm Of Tears
With faultless rhythm and musical rhyme.
And broadening sweep and a surge sublime.
As it bends with the ocean OF years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow.
And the summers like buds betweenl
And the ears and thesheaves how they come and go
On the rivers breast with its ebb and how,
As they glide in the shadow and sheen
There's magic isle up the River Time.
Where the sottest of airs are playing;
There's cloudless sky and tropical cline,
And voice as sweet as avesper chime,
And the Junes with roses staying.
And the name Of that isle is the Long Ago.
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow
CThey are heaps of dust but we loved them so),
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings,
And part of an infants prayer;
There's a harp unswept and Lutte without strings
There are broken vows and pieces of rings.
And garments that she used to wear.
There are hands which are waved when that fairy
shore
By the mirage is lifted in air.
And sometimes we hear. through the turbulent roar
Sweet voices we've heard in the days gone before
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh j remembered for aye be that blessed Isle,
All day of life till night;
And when evening comes with its beautiful smile
And our eyes closed TO slumber awhile,
May that greenwood of soul be in sight.

DINNERS AT Your DooRs.-A mul-
titade OF devices have boen invented to
lessen or abolish the troubles or house
keeping, the latest of which is plan of
Mr. Riddle, an Englshman, who has
constructed a kind of movable commits
sariat for supplying hot dinners to fami-
lies. There is central cooking estab-
lishment in the village or district. All
supplies, meats, groceries, etc, are
bought at wholesale, and, of course,
more oheaply than at retail. A we'll
planned cooking apparatus is used by
which few persons can do economically
vast amount of cooking. There are
various rooms for all sorts of cooking,
for meats, vegetables, and for the prepa-
ration of puddings and desserts. The
establishment is model of neatncss,
economy, and adaptability to its purpose.
Families have only to order exactly
what they want in any variety and COM
bination of dishes and it is sent to them
perfectly cooked and hot at the dinner
hour. The dishes are put into tin boxes,
divided into compartments, the boxes
being heated by steam, and then the din
ners are carried about in wagons, like
those of the Parcels Delivery Company.
The dinners thus served in time, in
just the quantity and of the quality de-
sired, and no difficulty is experienced in
keeping them hot for the table. The
plan is recommended by its convenience
and by its great economy. II will also
furnish many people better dinners than
they get now, and at much less cost.

The Split BRAN.-One morning,
as farmer was feeding his horses, he
noticed that in their haste to get their
fill of the fresh bran, they split much of
it upon the ground.
80 much lost" he murmured to
himself.
But no; the fowls approached and
soon made pretty clean work of it. After
them, several pigeons alighted near the
feeding trough, and found sufficient to
occupy them several minutes. Then the
sparrows took their turn.
Now" thought the farmer, "Surely
it must all be gone."
But upon looking closer, he observed
large number of thrifty little ants tug.
ging away at the fragments which had
escaped the sparrows. And the farmer
thought to himself:
" This teaches me to waste nothing
not even the smallest thing"

WoMAN's DRESS. Elizabeth S. Phelps
thinks that fifty years hence, the present
kangaroo style of woman's dress will
seem as uncultivated as the nose-rings of
the Hottentots do TO us to-day. We be-
lieve it. Moreover, she says Gin the In
dependent) "that it is one of the SIM
plest laws of taste in dress, that it shall
not attract undue attention from the.
wearer to The worn-that the CIR. ae shs.
Period, sauntering before one down
Broadway, is one panoroma of awful sur
prises from top to toe. Her clothes char
acterize her, She never charaeterizes her
clothes. She is upholstered, not ornament
ed, She is bundled, not draped. She is
puckered, not folded. She struts, she
does not sweep. She has not one of the
attributes of nature, nor Of proper art.
She neither soothes the eye like q flower,
nor pleases it like picture. She wea-
ries it ike Kaleidoscope. She is o
meaningless dazzle OF broken effects.
For myself, never feel thoroughly
ashamed of being a woman, except in
glancing over large promiscuous assem-
bly,, and contrasting the simplicity, solid-
ity, elegance, and good sense of mans
apparel, with the affectation, the fimsi-
ness, the ugliness, and the imbeciliiy of
woman's. When | consider the pass to
which she has brought the one sole
science of which she Is supposed to be
yet mistress, my heart misgives me down
to the roots of every hope | ever cher
ished for her.

A school boy being requested to write
a composition upon the subject of "Pins,"
produced the following: "Pins are very
useful. They have saved the lives of a
great many men, women, and children
in fact, whole families" "How SO asked
the puzzled teacher; and the boy re-
piled, "Why, by not swallowing them"
This matches the story of the other boy
who defined salt as "the stuff that makes
potatoes taste bad when you don't put
