A Patron on the secrecy Feature.

| presume, from the general tenor OF the
communication Of Charles A. Garwood in a
late Western Rural, wherein he wants the
crecy feature of the grange discussed with
view to its sboitiou, that he is not Patrpn.
Aud also conclude that he is himss 0ppus
ed to The secrecy feature, judging from the
strength Of the Arguments he brings against
it when compared with those with which he
backs It up.
Ills strongest position is that the Oranges
being secret bodies, mt recognized by law
are IT, the mercy of every scalawaR OF their
officers who like to Rbscuud with the funds.
Well, that is rnus tlter, and must be
provided against by the exercise of the great
est Of care in the selection Of officers. No IA
volitism must be allowed to bias the selection
Of any officer, and any signs Of the formation
OF ring must be promptly squelched. In
I our own Grange we have the utmost conf
dsnce IN all our officers Got WHOM l am not

substance were in their hands, instead ofonly
INV Grange dues. And, as a mttter of fact,
how many deiaulting Secretaries and Treaur-
| ers Of public bodies ever get prosecuted
And Of the prosecuted, how many are con-
yicted And Of those convicted how many
get adequate punishment think there is
really little to cho1ss between being unable
or unwilling to prosecute athief.

EDIToR JoURNAL--SI In your issue Of

ton in regard to procuriog music for the GrsuR.
ers pic nic at Bowling Green. I expected TO
answer to that Order for my action, but did
MT know that would be responsible to every
newspaper correspondent.
At the Prohibition Conve ntion in Bowling
Green, met the Beville Ridge Band and asked
their leader in the presence Of the band what
they would charge to play for us at our picnic
and did not get any definite answer. l then
asked them for their Post office address. Mt
receiving an answer from them I told Mr.. r.
Jewell, another OF the com mittee, to engage
the Maumee Band, as they had written to Mr..
Jewel that they would come and play for s37.
On Saturday July, %, received from Henry
Belville letter, dated July 20, which have in
my posse ssisn, making lengthy apology Tor
not giving me an answer at Rowling Green, and
offering to come and play for 81 for each mem
Der OF the Band. On the same day ! notified
them by Postal card that we had engaged the
Maumse Band before their letter came to hand
Now wish 10 say, that II there was any
blunder 1t was ON the part Of the Belville
Ridge Band in not giving me an answer in time
II this matter has so COOLED the ardor OF the
community in matter Of so much Importance
to them as the Order Of Patrons of HusbandrV
isto every farmer every where, they have made
great mistake. II / had made the blunder
am accused uf, it would be personal fault, and
not chargsable TO the Order. Neither would It
he any argunsnt against the principles Of the

THE PLow AND THE PRESS.

We envy not The prinoely man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Turn up the hill or down.
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet bis heaps Of gold;
We would not own bis sordid heart
For all his wealth thrice told.
We are the favored ones Of earth.
We breathe pure air each morn.
we SOW, we reap the golden grain,
We gather in the corn.
we toll, We live on what we earn.
Aud more than this we do;
We hear OF starving millions round,
Aud gladly feed them too.
The lawyer lives on princey fees,
Yet drags a weary life;
lie never knows peaceful hour,
His atmosphere Is strife.
The merchant thumbs his yard sticks DER
Grows haggard at his toil--
He's not the man God meant him for,
Why don't he till the soil ?
The doctor plods through storm and rain,
Plods at his patients will:
When dead aud gone be plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer-bless his noble souli
lie grasps the mighty earth,
And stamps IL on our daily sheet
To cheer the laborer's hearth.
We sing the honor OF The plow,
And honor to the press,
Two noble instruments OF toll,
krch with a power to bless!
The bone the nerve OF this fast age
True wealth OF human kind
One tills the ever faithful earth,
The other tilIs the mind.
