THE OLD GRANGER,
a Pdrody.)


a Parody.)
Near the tracks of a railroad newly laid,
A farmer leaned on his earth-worn spade:
While his taxes were high, and his crops but slir
The charge for freight played the deuce with hin
So he growl d grow at III trains sharp din
I'm gather you in ; II gaC her you in |
II have borne you long, and here swow,
You railroads to beat some way or how
I'll get you up a law, by the great horned owl
To cut down your profits and make you howl
And but little or nothing, I'll ship from bin,
OF boarded corn, till I've gathered y on in !
1--WE will rise in our Oranges, bold and free.
And down with freights, shall our war-cry be ;
Not partlzan crew, nor party hack,
Shall help us to gain our birthright back;
For the battle ia ours, to lose or win
Wen gather them in, Wen gather them in ~
Now gaunt politician came that way,
Oerheard the old mans angry say:
And he gave to his head knowing screw,
And cried to the Granger, "Coun me, tool''
With a thought TO himself, replete with grin,
"I'll gather you in I'll gather you in ~
1.-THE farmers tongue has too long been mute
l am inst your man, if it suits your mood,
So place me where can dc most good
If an office fit you will help me win,
Wen gather them in Wen gather them So
They take walk to the farmers grange,
Where the stranger speaks with rural air,
And sprinkles hayseed in his hair:
Let railroads quail when our blows begin;
Wen gather them in Wen gather them in ~
So they vote for him at the coming polls,
Those simple, rural, honest souls
Never dreaming that they of the iron horse,
Are voting, too, for the man, of course;
AS on him alone their faith they pin,
To gath er them in; to gather them in -
When election is over the railroads run
A score of trains where they once had one ;
While ditch by the track is found to hold
A poor old Granger, stark and cold,
For the chap he'd helped to Office win,
Had gathered him in; had gathered him in -
-Cdlv0rnid Granger.

Some one asked for a recipe to
crystalize flowers. This is mine:
Take the quantity of water requir-
ed to cover what you wish to crystal
ize heat it to boiling. While heat
ing, put in the alum all the water
will dissolve. When dissolved,
pour into deep vessel /; hang in
your grass or flowers, head down, as
much separated as possible, so they
will not stick together. Let them
hang twenty-four hours take out
and dry. The above makes very
heavy crystals. Therefore you must
select grass and flowers having stout
stems, such as plantain seed stalks,
willow buds, globe amaranth, etc.
But any slender grass, or flower, can
not be placed in an upright position
without breaking to pieces, the crys.
tails are 80 heavy.
For fine grasses, take the water
the above has been crystalized in
add little more alum to what is in
the bottom of the vessel, heat and
proceed as with the FIRST. An air
basket can be made thus: Take
partly worn factory, bleached per-
fectly white, tear four strips an inch
aad half wide and twenty inches
long for the handles. A piece of
hoop-wire twenty-four inches long
fasten both ends together in the
form of hoop. This is for the top.
Ravel each side of the strips for the
handles, leaving one.sixth of an inch
of the cloth in the centre of each.-
Fasten one end of each of these to
the hoop on the opposite sides, bring
the ends together at the top giving
each two or three twists, then fasten.
Hang this over stick placed on two
chairs, ravel eighteen pieces three
quarters of yard long, the same
width as the handles. Fasten one
end to the hoop, give two or three
twists and bring up the opposite end
and fasten to its side. Proceed in
this way around the hoop, then tie
thread tightly around them, two.
thirds the way down. This will
leave tassel at the bottom. Fasten
here and there knot Of bright rib
bon. Hang in the corner and you
will think the fairies have been at
work. Western Rurdl.

A FRIENDLY HoRsE.-A few days
since, as We were leaving our resi-
dence on our usual morning visit to
the office, a sorrel horse belonging to
us galloped up and caught our arm,
and made at an atteupt to pull US in
the direction he wished US to go. He
then left, and went off at quick gait
toward pasture on farm about q
quarter of mile distant FROM our
residence. In few minutes he ap-
preached us again, making an unusal
noise, and seemed by his actions to
desire US to follow him. This we
did and, when we reached the pas.
ture, we observed the mate of the
horse entangled in bridge, which
had broken through with him. After
we had extricated his companion
from his dangerous position, the
horse which had given rs notice OF
his companions danger, came up
and rubbed his head against US,
showing great signs of satisfaction

'Oh popcorn Isn't it nice p and
they begun to eat it at once.
'And what are these?' she asked,
as she emptied the corn into her lap,
and the nuts came down in little
brown shower.

them curiously, as though he had
never seen them. 'Why them is

'How do you open them p
Philip showed her how to take the
delicate nut, and she declared it the
most delicious nut in the world.
1t was some time before Phillip
could get them to put on their shoes
and stockings and get tready for their
breakfast, then as soon as he had
seen them fed he got ready for his
journey.
Itwas very cold, and the snow
was a foot deep, but he resolved tc
start.
Now mind yo' don't SET the house
afre,' he said, as he put on his buck
skin mittens, and button ed his one
coat up tight to his chin. Don't lie,
the fire go out, nuther, or yon'l
freeze.

Philip said: Goodbye. I'll hur
ry fast as evzE>I kim and went out
and shut the door leaving them alone
But not sad. For from it !; they were
as merry over their rude Christmas
presents as though they had room
full of toys.
And how do you suppose the night
had passed in the home of Lily and
Berthe Not so quietly as in the
shanty in the woods. When their alb.
sence was discovered there was grea,
excitement, deepening as the village
was searched and no trace of them
discovered, turning to horror as the
storm came up and the hours went
by and no children to bs found, and
settling into despair when the various
parties who were out hunting return
ed with no trace. There was excite.
fment all through the village but in
their homelit was agony. The father
spent the night in securing the coun.
try, the mother in going from one
fainting fit to another, till the doctor
! despaired of her life.

The Result In Connecticut.

The news concerning the Connecticut
election which we publish this morning, is
something more than reminder to che
party OF the Administration. 1t is a dis
tinct and emphatic rebuke. The defeat is
simply overwhelming. The thoughtful
observer of current political events has not
far to look for the cause of this significant
result. Idle laboring men and dissatis-
fed employees, who have waited in vain for
some sign of comprehension of the fnan-
cial disturbance on the part of Congress or
the Administration, have registered at the
polls their desire and demand for change
Republicans who had loved the party from
its birth, and had the best wishes for its
continued prosperity, if only the country
could prosper with it, have either voted
the Opposition ticket or refused to vote at
all. The disclosure of a grasping, over
reaching disposition on the part of the
men in power, disgust for moiety grabbing
and salary grabbing, for Butlerism and
Simmonsism, and for the men at Wash
ington who uphold dishonest administra-
ton and defend corruption, have all had
their effect on the vote.-N Y. Tribune.
