Alas, that warm and genial heart has thus
early in life ceased its throbbing
How unconscious are we often of how
much we prize those who grow up in our
midst, and with whom we more or less as

how much we loved them.

At once a deep interest was awakened, and
our feelings were raised or depressed in

A wIsEtW0RD TO the CHANGERS.

J. Z. O. In the Connecticut COurant,
says something the Grangers will do
well to heed:
Everybody gives advice to the Pa
irons OF Husbandry-why should not
this column try Its hand? And the
gist of 1t ls this: Beware OF taking big
pay for your services. The nation is
Just now writhing in a mighty strug-
gle to free itself from big salaries.
That Is precisely the meaning Of the
turmoil. If the Patrons can do our
work better for half price, let them
come on. We are ready for such
changes. But If their leaders are on
ly to make up another ring to secure
lucrative positions for themselves,
then, speaking for one, yes, for mil
lions, prefer the old set "who Have
already got their gold watches" Bet
ter cloyed and pampered aristocracy,
than to be at the mercy of All ever
ravenous and hungry rabble. Though
in real, life doubtless the one evolves
the other, and the present common
sense tends to abate both. But some
one says, "the cost of living has in
creased so much since Washington's
time-his fifty cents would buy more
than my dollar" That's lie! l can
dress better, feed myself better, and
know more, for fifty cents, than WASH
ington could for dollar. Else our
genuine civilization would be mis-
take and fraud--as it Is not, by a
long chalk. It Is a watchful and ex-
travagant heathenism wherever you
find it-not Christian civilization
that costs so much, and demands the
duplication of salaries. Heathenism,
l said, but wise men In all ages have
rejected double pay as a remedy for
public ills.
1t is mistake to suppose that large
pay wins the love, or even the respect
of any one, at bottom. Quite the con-
trary; it is sure to excite Jealousy, an
imosity and hatred. Once or twice,
years ago, I thought-as everybody
appeared to--that big pay was q WIN
ming card, and struck for it. 1t very
soon occurred that my services were
not needed. That is the way it will
end with the Patrons, unless they ad-
dress themselves unselfshly to hard
work, content with small wages.
The Presidents good angel lshould have
told him to refuse the double salary;
good sense should have told him that
a nation just done fighting with itself,
must come out from the scratch poorly
enough, no matter how much figures
are made to swell its wealth. Big
pay has consumed the substance of
many q nation, and We half christian
ized Yankees are wrestling against it
at arms length, when we should take
close hug with 1t to our bosoms:
Jesus refused emoluments In toto, and
the nation is dying for patriotic pub
lie men, who will follow his example.
Zeal. Granger.
