RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE MARYLAND STATE
GRAEGE.-Ata a meeting of the State Grange OF
Maryland, Patrons of Husbandry, held in Balti-
more last week, the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, The time has arrived for decara.
ton, ON the part of the State Grange, as to her
policy and mode of operation,
ResolUed, Thatit is the sentiment of this Grange
that the declaration of principles as set forth by
the National Grange at st. Louis meets the wants
of the patrons of our State fully that We heart
lily endorse the same as our future guide of action
RssolUed, That we acknowledge the influence
of woman in all great reformatory movements,
and therefore most cordially invite the women OF
our State to assist US by joining our order in its
endeavors to accomplish desired reforms.
ResolUed, That we recommend to all Oranges
to encourage home business of all kinds, aud to
deal with their neighbors; but at the same time,
we advise that they buy wherever the article they
need can be had cheapest for the cash, and TO de-
mand such favors as cash customers are Justly
entitled to.
Resolped, That it is our duty as agriculturists
10 institute such means as are in our power for
the relief of the agricultural interest OF the State.
which are beyond doubt at this time in very
languishing condition, aud for this purpose it is
necessary that the farmer be brought as near the
manufacturer on the one hand, and the consumer
Of his products on the other, as the nature and
current of the business of the country will admit.
Resolved, That we request all manufacturers
and dealers in agricultural and farming imple-
ments of all kinds TO discontinue the practice of
demanding exorbitant pay for separate pieces or
parts of such when needed for repairs.
Resolred, That the subordinate Oranges be re-
nuested from time TO time to present their views
on such practical questions affect the particular
local interests of the members of our Oranges in
the different sections Of the State, in order that
the State Grange may have an Intelligent 0nder-
standing of the wants and wishes OF our people.
The Grange adjourned, to meet iu Baltimore
the second Tuesday in August, The meeting
was one OF great harmony and good feeling, and
dealt with matters of practical iuterst and high
Importance. A cardinal principle of this order
being to ignore all questions Of party politics, il
has become a strong bond of union to all sections
of the country

IRRTTATED DAYS.

There are times when everything seems
to 60 wrong. From seven o'clock A.
NJ. till ten ?. M. affairs are in twist.
You rise in the morning. and the room
is cold, and button is off, and the
breakfast is tough, and the stove smokes
and the pipes burst, and you start down
the street nettled from head to foot.
All day long things are adverse. In
situations. petty losses, meanness on
the part of customers. The ink-bottle
upsets and spoils the carpet. Some one
gives a wrong turn to the damper and
the gas escapes. An agent comes in
determined to insure yoar life when it
Is already insured for more than it is
worth, and you are afraid some one will
knock you on the head to get the price
of your policy; bat he sticks to you show
ing you pictures of old Time and the
hour-glass, and deaths scythe and
skeleton, making it quite certain that
you will die before your time, unless
you take out papers in his company.
Besides this you have a cold in your
head, and grain of dirt in your eye,
and you are a walking uneasiness.
The day Is out of joint and no surgeon
can set it.
The probability is that if you would
look at the weather-yane, you would find
that the wind is northeast, and you
might remember that you had lost much
sleep lately. 1t might happen to be
that you are out of joint instead of the
day Be careful and not write many
letters while you are in that irritated
mood. You will pen some things that
you will be sorry for afterward.
Let US remember that these spiked
nettles of life are part of our discipline.
Life would get nauseating if it were all
honey. The table would be poorly set
had it on it nothing but treacle. We
need little vinegar. mustard, pepper,
and horseradish that brings the tears
even when We do not feel pathetic. If
this world we're all smoothness, we
would never be ready to emigrate to
higher and better. clustering March
and weeping April prepare US for shin
ing May. THIS world is poor hitching
post. Instead Of tying fast on the cold
mountains we had better whip up and
hasten on toward the warm inn, where
our good friends are looking out of the
windows watching to see US come up
Christian at Work.

A MOTHERS LAST REQUEST.

Come unto me all We that labor, and
are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest.-JEsUs.
A soldier, who had been expelled
from Sunday school when boy, went
to serve In India, leaving behind pious
and affectionate mother. Some time af-
ter, a pious sergeant who was about to
join the regiment to which this youth
belonged, waited on the old woman, and
found her the subject of heavy affliction,
and confined to her bed. He stated the
object of his visit, and the old woman
said she had only one boon to bestow
and only one request to make of her re-
bellious son. The boon was a Bible
the request, that for the sake of his poor
dying mother, he would read at least
one verse each day. When the sergeant
arrived in India, he made known to him
his mothers request-and said:
81 am the bearer Of the last gift and
the last wish of your poor mother"
"What % said he, sis she dead then %
"She was not, replied the sergeant,
when | left England, but l think there
cannot be any doubt that she is dead
before this.
Here, F" said he is Bible giving it
to him) which your mother has sent you,
and she has only one request to make
of you, and that is, that for her sake,
you will read one verse day at least.
"Oh,'' said he, s'if it is only one verse,
here goes" He opened the Bible-he
looked-he paused: "Well," said he,
''this is remarkable circumstance.
that the first verse that caught my eve
was the only one L ever learned while
at the Sunday-schooll it is s.Come unto
me, all ye that labor, and are heavy la
den. and I will give you rest'' He be-
gan to inquire who ''me' was, and
the pious sergeant, like Philip of old
spake to him of Jesus. From this De.
riod manifest change was observable
IN his conduct. Not long after, the reg.
iment was engaged in battle; when the
conflict was over, the sergeant went over
the field of blood, and discovered his
late pupil lying dead under tree
The Bible was open at the passage before
quoted, on which had reposed his dying
head, and its sacred pages were soaked
through with blood.

ssIN ADAMS FALL WE SINNED
ALL''-- HENRY WARD BEECH
Err DOSEN'T BELIEVE IT, THE
TWIN BROTHERS OF THE OLD
EST MUMMIES.

In his sermon yesterday morning Mr..
Beecher spoke of 'the parable of the
Garden of Eden as having been the
central idea of the most enduring of re-
ligions. Further along he denounced
the doctrine of the fall of man in the
SHINING of Adam. sThat general view, .
he said, ''that we are condemned on ac-
count of what was done for US thousands
of years ago, and are held to eternal
penalty for it, is so in contradiction to
every sense Of justice that no man should
regard it without repugnance. It
ascribes to God attributes which would
cover any human ruler or parent with
infamy.''
Touching the acceptance of the Bible
by many as complete encyclopedia of
all knowledge, Mr.. Beecher called atten-
tion to the fact that its teaching of as
tronomy, of creation, and of the history
of the race, have been totally refuted by
uncontrovertible scientific facts, "Here
and there is man." he added, "who
still believes that the world was really
made in six ordinary days. Such men
are twin bothers of the oldest mummies
In Egypt, and the mummies are the best
men of the two sorts. N 7. San

Brief but Thrilling
CHAPTER /.


"Breaki break break at the foot of the crags, oh,
sea!
And would that my tongue could utter the thoughts
that arise in me-"
The evening sun was just going down
in the west behind choice selection of
clouds and vapors, displaying a variety
of tints and coloring too numerous to
mention, but upon the whole conducting
himself like the very regular and we'll
behaved sun that he is. His farewell
rays struggled through the forest trees,
and sifted themselves upon a rustic log
cabin that stood conveniently near, with
its pig-pen in front and its potato patch
behind.
Maria, the only daughter, submissive
to the exigencies of the hour. was frying
onions for supper. She was a very nice
girl. Of course she was. IF it were not
so, / would have told you.

SOMETHING STARTLING.

There is something wonderful in fig
ures; and numbers, when carefully con-
sidered, startle us by their immensity.
We talk of millions and billions with
little thought Of the vastness Of the
sums We name. The lips may utter the
words ghbly, but the understanding
fails to grasp their real significance.
Take our own national debt as an illus
tration. Everybody knows it is large,
but few have ever stopped to consider
its appalling magnitude. A few calcu-
lations will not be uninteresting.
Let us suppose that the national debt
is in round numbers, $4,000, 900, 600.
If an experienced cashier were to COM
monce counting this at the rate of three
silver dollars per second, and work dill
gently eight hours per day, three hund-
red days in the year, it would take him
about one hundred years to complete the
count.
If the silver dollars were placed side
by side touching each other, they would
reach nearly three times around the
world; they would pave a highway the
width of our Chicago streets moro than
two hundred miles IN length.
Fused into one solid mass of pure sill
yer, they would make column ten feet
square and two thousand FIVE hundred
feet high; or a bar fifty miles long and
one foot square.
If each silver bar be estimated at !
ounce in weight. and the money loaded
into carts containing one ton each, and
driven one before the other, each horse
and cart occupying two rods, the process
sion would extend five hundred miles.
Or consider that only about 1,000,-
100000 minutes have elapsed since the
birth of Christ, and that if one dollar
had been put away each minute, day
and night, since that event. the accumu-
lation would amount to but little more
than one-third of the debt that this ma
ton now owes.-If this calculation were
applied to England or France, whose
national debt is nearly twice as large as
ours, the result would be still more start
ling.-C Chicago Inter Ocean.
