And many an upturned glance of thanks unspoken,
showers
OF blessings ll,-love's ever constant token.
! see before me now, great souls that move,
Harmonious In Gods 0wnRnd perfect ways
see bright eyes, now glistening with that love,
| The love that seeks falling soul to raise
| Before my mental vision comes the woes,
| The terrors of that awful curse to man
| The wearied, broken heart the desol4te throes
| or misery, and each scene my mind doth scan.
| Then hope comes forth to light the gloom around
| An angel smiles, and joyful Is the shout
| OF welcome to the lansomed and the found
| A hand is lifted and a blessing caught.
| The gentle matron ana the fair young maid,
| The brave strong veteran, and the manly youth
Each and forever let your hearts he stayed
In all your labOrs, on the God OF truth.
| And now remains but few more words 10 say;
Reluctantly these wordsI speak to you,
+" Great Western Friends upon the close of day,
We lid you all warm and kind adlen.

most favored class of community, should
without hesitation say 1t was the farmers.
Mechanics, manufacturers, merchants,
teachers and professional men are rs neces-
sary to the farmer as the farmer is to them.
Farmers generally own the houses they
live in and the lands they occupy, while
three-fourths of the other classes do not.
Mechanics, laborers, and most Others work
three hours to the farmers two. Few,
comparatively, of the other classes obtain
pecuniary independence, and those few, if
they had given their energies to farming,
would have done still better.
If the grangers would conflnc themselves
to what is understood to be the original OBJ
