My lord rides through his palace gate,
My lady sweeps along in state,
The sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;
The minstrel harpeth merr!ly,
The sailor ploughs foaming sea,
The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without cen fear;
But fall to eeeA, sehat'er befaH,

Smith hammereth cherry red the sword,
Priest preacheth pure the Holy Word,
Dame Alice worketh broidery well,
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell.
The tap-wce sells her foaming beeI,
Dan Fisher fsheth in the mere,
And courtiers ruffle, strut and shine,
While wages bring the gasconwi1e;

Man builds his castles fair and high,
Wherever river runneth by,

Great churches show the builders hand,

Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, bet here or there,
And we'll man worketh everywhere;

Social Simplicity.


Social entertainments, except in
purely fashionable circles, ARE grow
ing simpler and more agreeable
year after year. The elaborately
unsuccessful attempt to entertain
guests, which was once deemed an
indispensable part of hostess duty,
is so no longer.
Guests are allowed to wander
about as they choose, talking, to
whom they please, or not talking at
all, as suits them best; and beyond
careful oversight for their comfort
and pleasure, the hostess does not
FEEL responsible for them.
To present to each other such
persons as she thinks have kindred
tastes or interests, is one of the ne
cessities of her position ; but to try
to make people converse who have
nothing in common, is almost a dis
courtesy on her part.
While it is usually more agreeable
to be introduced to your neighbor
ct reception, since hearing his
name will probably give you key
to his personality, yet the lack Of
an Introduction should not prevent
your speaking to him if you be SO
inclined, the fact of meeting him in
your friends house being sufficient
Endorsement of his position.
The Charlotte Observer is discuss-
ing the Grange movement, strongly
favoring the organization, but urges
that it be made to work in harmony
with all classes of society and all
manner Of business Says the o.
serrer
"The lawyer or the doctor who in
vests his time and talent in profes-
sional education, OR the merchant
who lays out his means with the view
of gain, is as Justly entitled to his
legitimate profit in his profession OF
on his business as the producer OF
cotton. This is one of the axioms OF
society, and indeed one Of the foun-
dation stones of business. History
furnishes no instance where class has
been arrayed against class, except al
the imminent peril of one or all.
There is no other alternative. On
the contrary, whenever the respec
tive classes of society are in harmony
one with he other, each exercising
it's own peculiar rights and privileges
in its own proper sphere, all is peace
and prosperity.
While this paper recognizes ths
necessity for the establishment of the
Grange movement, and for the prop
agation Of its doctrines, land the wri.
ter claims to know whereof he
speaks,) it does not nor never will,
countenance the slightest deviation
from the strictest principle of justice
and Of benefit to all. We have Ia.
! bored zealously and assiduously fol
the advancement Of the farmers
movement, and we do not expect te
lessen our labor, or lay down a self
imposed task, until the farmer ane
working man of the land shall b
elevated to the position to which
their intelligence and virtue entities
, them; but great as are these benefits
we shall not seek to obtain them By
arraying them against any othe,
: class of society, or interest in tha
society"

A REnrrNTscENcE.

J. G. Avery has always professed
to be an uncompromising Democrat.
Old residents Of Oregon have not
forgotten how he prosecuted the
lamented Delazon Smith simply be-
cause that noble man was true to the
interests of the people of whom he
was representative. Delazon Smith
was incorruptible and would not aid
Mr.. Avery in his schemes to enrich
himself at the peoples expense. This
subject brings to our mind remin-
iscence which is not yet forgotten by
the Democracy of Benton county
whom ]. G. Avery is now laboring to
deliver, bound, hand and foot, into
the hands Of their enemies. The
scene is in the old Legislative Hall
in Salem during Territorial times
The State Capitol building had been
burned by On incendiary q short time
previous. The House was in session
and Delazon Smith had the floor
The speech he made was one of burn
ing eloquence, and the reporter who
furnished it to the press, referring to
the speaker, said; "The fire of
thousand passions beamed from his
face" That speech will be found in
an old number of the Oregon States
man, now on file in the State Libra
ry. Referring to the burning of the
State House, Mr.. Smith said:
Mr.. Speaker: I will not say that
the gentleman from Benton (Mr.
Avery burned the State House, but
l will say, that had not that gentle
man made pilgrimage to Salem on
o certain occasion your capital build
ing would still have been rearing its
fair proportions on State House
Square"
How times have changed. The
eloquent voice of Delazon Smith is
hushed in death and his old enemy
is still intriguing to disrupt the Dem
ocratic party and enhance his own
"Lntyusts."

currency question; that he does not
know what his mind will be when he
gets to Washington, if elected, on
the question Of Congressional con-

has been corruption practiced in

GRANGE DECISION.

The various Masters Of the ditterA
ent State Oranges, have made the
following decisions which will ma
terially aid subordinate Oranges in
their deliberations:
Members not clear on the books
should not be given the annual
word.
A Past Master has the same rights
as any other member, and no more.
Oranges cannot constitutionally
refund or remit any part of the in
itiation fees.
A subordinate Grange cannot
change the bylaw requiring money
to accompanying petition.
A Grange cannot take a note for
fees or vote back any fees after they
have once been paid in.
Standing committees on applica-
tions are illegal; all committees on
applications must be special.
Rituals are not to be distributed
among the different members of the
Grange, but to be kept by one officer.
No dispensation can be filed out
after the application has been sent
off by the Deputy.
Every candidate for initiation
must be balloted for, whether the
committee reports pro or con.
When the NJ. and o. are both alb
sent P. M. should take the chair,
if there be one present, if none then
elect Master pro tenn. There is no
authority to make the Steward Mas
ter, as he is outranked by the Lee
turer.
A Grange cannot change its place
of meeting into the jurisdiction of
another Grange without obtaining
the consent of the Grange in whose
jurisdiction they propose to hold the
meetings.
Where persons from one jurisdic-
ton are taken into another Grange
without consent, the Grange whose
territory was encroached on may
claim the fees, but the other Grange
retains the member.
I do not hold that a true Patron
must forever be a farmer. If his
record remains good he has perfect
right to follow any honorable occu-
patton. If a deputy knowingly ad-
mits at the time of organisation as
charter members, or a Grange shall
admit by initiation, dealer in intox
icating liquors or any babitual drunk
ard, said deputy shall upon com
plant, be subject to be deprived of
his commission, and said Grange the
surrender of its chapter.

Thus it will be seen that the
resources of the county now exceed
its indebtedness in the sum of $9,-
1850 If it is admitted that S., COO
of the above delinquent taxes are
worthless, and cannot be collected,
its resources will then exceed the
debt in the sum of $4, ,422,G9 at this
time.
The expenditures of the county for
the past year up to this date amount
to the sum of $40, ,S71 %, and it is
believed that the additional sum of
$4,000 will pay the expenses of the
ensuing election, and other claims
against the county yet to be presented
before the close of the fiscal year
June ending Both, 1874.
In regard to the increase in tax
alton for the year now about to end,
over the preceding one, l will say
that it was believed by the County
Court that it was good policy to have
a sufficient revenue to pay off county
orders on presentation, and the in
debtedness of the county, stop the
payment Of interest on notes and
county, orders, and in this opinion l
am confident all right thinking per-
sons will concur. And in addition
to this reason, the last Legislature
increased the school tax to three
mills instead of two as heretofore, |
and this tax could not be avoided.
The sequel will show that on the
first day of July next, the greater
part, if not all Of the debt will be
paid, LEAKING a sufficient fund to
meet current expenses until the pay
ment of taxes next fall. The facts
set forth above, clearly show how
entirely unfounded are the statements
Of independent" l regret to say
that former Senator of this county,
who once misrepresented the people,
by voting for Il. d Baker, for the
U. S. Senate, has been either
through ignorance or deprayity, |
quite as guilty as "lndependent" in
giving this falsehood publicity. No
