A Very Valuable Work.

History of the Grange Movement, or the
Farmers War against Monopolies." Being
full and authentic account of the strug-
giles of the American farmers against the
extortions of the Railroad Companies.
With History OF the Rise and Progress OF
the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. Pub
iished by the NATIONAL PUBLISHING Co,
Philadelphia.
The most remarkable and powerful
movement of the present day is, I'M
questionably, the War which the Far
mers are waging against the Monopo-
lies of all kinds that have for so long
been robbing the people and expressing
the toiling portion of our community.
The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American peo-
pie against the monopoIists, and treats
of the railroad system of the country,
its growth, actual condition and pros
poets. It then shows how this noble
system has been perverted to further
the ends of selfish capitalists and rail-
road directors, who seek gain at the ex-
pense of the community and we are
given terrible and thrilling account
of the crimes and frauds of the railroad
corporations of to-day. The author
yields fearless and vigorous pen, and
points out the evils which this selfish
greed has entailed upon us. He shows
how the great corporations have been
able to control tho whole country !; how
they have robbed the nation, and cor
rupted our Congress, State Legisla-
lures, and Courts of Justice.
Passing from the Monopolists and
their outrapes. the author takes up the
cause of the vronged and oppressed
farmers, and gives us detailed state
ment of the evils from which the farm
ing class is suffering. He analyses
the causes of these evils, and
shows how and by whom the farmers
are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work is
devoted to history of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry. A complete ac-
count of the organization and objects Of
the order is given its laws and mode
of procedure are stated; and each fea-
ture is explained 1t length.
1t is decidedly the most interesting
and useful volume of the day, and as it
comes at time when the whole country
is suffering intensely from the effects of
The evils it denounces, cannot fail to
have tremendous sale. It is an ably
written work, and bold and vigorous
plea in behalf of the farmers and all
who are oppressed and robbed by the
yrasping Monopolies which are causing
70 much trouble.
The book is sold by subscription only,
Ind the publishers want agents in every
county. See advertisement in another
column.

How He Saved His Money.

The story is told of q father, "well-
to.do, but rather impecunious. A few
weeks ago he had a manageable daugh.
ter. She had been courted by the son
of neighboring farmer for number
of years, and had grown 80 tired of it
that she expressed a desire to have the
dream of her life realized before the
end of the present year. The lover, it
is but just to say, was also anxious.
He wished to avoid the necessity of
having to Journey night after night over
lonely road during yet another winter.
The father of the young girl, thus
pressed from within and without, was
almost on the brink Of despair. He
could not afford to disburse the neces.
sary funds for such wedding feast as
he would be expected to provide. The
crops had all been gathered and sold,
and the butter for two or three months
pledged in payment Of debts. To in
cur any further obligations was not to
be thought of. For nights he lay
awake, turning the IN after over in his
mind, until he finally discovered way
out Of the dilemma Tho next morn
ing he thrilled his daughter with pleas
ure by announcing at the breakfast
BILE that he had decided to consent to
her marriage, and was willing that the
ceremony might take place as soon as
the arrangements could be perfected.
Then there was a meeting of the re-
spective parents, the day was fixed,
and list of the friends and kinsmen of
the intended son-in-law carefully made
out. To this was added the names Of
nearly every farmer residing in the
county. The day of days came round
at last; the roads were hard with frost,
the sky was clear, and the guests be-
gan to arrive at an early hour. The
house was soon crowded until barely
standing room remained. The barn
was used to increase the accommoda-
ton. The marriage ceremony over,
and the young couple started on their
way to the nearest railroad station,
nothing remained to be done but to
discuss the viands and wines. At
length the time arrived for breaking up
the company. The farmer, after hay
ing good-humoredly appropriated all
the compliments he could get, walked
leisurely to the front gate, and there
took position from which he was en-
abled to demand payment for dinner
and horse-feed from each of the guests.
The proposition was received as capt.
tai joke, and it is said that every per-
son present, not even excepting the
clergyman, willingly paid the "tax."

Innocence is not virtue, and those
who fancy that it is make fatal mis-
take. Innocence is simply the ignor-
ance of evil; virtue knows it, appre-
ciates it. Infancy is lovely in its inno-
cence, but life, with it's stern realities,
demands the strong, ripened vigor Of
manly virtues to resist evils, to protect
its good, to build up character and to
bless the world,

To Purify TallOw.

In order to obtain tallow quite free
from smell, and to preserve it for long
time without becoming rancid, the fol-
lowing simple process may be used !:
The fresh tallow is melted in boiling
water, and when completely dissolved,
and consequently hot, it is passed
through linen flter-then rendered
solid by cooling and washing with
water, and lastly separated from it care
fully by pressure. 1t may be melted at
o moderate heat and preserved in earth
en- vessels, covered with O bladder, pa
per or good closing lid. If the linen
filter is not thick enough to keep other
ingredients from passing through be-
sides the liquid tallow and water, it is
better to repeat the filtration. Tallow
thus obtained may be used for ordinary
food, for pomades by the addition Of
pure olive oil; for salves and plasters,
by the addition of white wax, and may
be kept we'll preserved for time, as
free from smell as when first prepared.

A GENEROUS Acr.-One of our English
exchanges states that Lord Howard, of
Glossop, has decided to build and equip a
feet of boats at his own expense, for the
purpose of carrying out the deep sea fishery
of the Irish coasts. The vessels, of which
one has been already launched, will be
fitted with every modern appliance for
safety and comfort, and provided with pa
tent logs, leads, a barometer, and first
class time measurer, while commodious
cabins fore and aft, give accommodation to
the crew. 1t is noble gift of Lord How
ard to the fishermen of Ireland; and we
hope that they will show, by their enter
prise in carrying out the deep sea fishery
that they appreciate the generous Offer"
In view of the ruin which English legisla-
ton has drawn upon this important Irish
industry, and the consequent misery which
it has entailed upon the families of the
men depending upon this business for their
support, this action of Lord Towards is
one that will evoke the most grateful feel
lDgs of the Irish heart, and cover his name
with blessings throughout the land -Net0

what it is which constitutes beauty in the
hand. They differed in opinion as much
as the shape of the beautiful member they

the question was referred to him. 1t was a
delicate matter. He thought of Paris and
the three goddesses. CHANGING from one

DIR. NEWMAN IN THE PULPIT-From an
article in Lippincotts Magazine. entitled
"Recollections of Archbishop Whately,"
we take the following graphic description
of John Henry Newman, a man whose
theological history has made his name a
household word 10 thousands of families in
every part of Europe and America :-"Mark
him as he walks toward the pulpit along
the narrow lane between the serried rows
of doctors of divinity and doctors of
canon law and doctors of civil law and
'deans,' and tutors and professors and
masters of art, while every eye of the ris-
ing generation in the gallaries is fixed up
on him. A slender, spare figure whose
academical robes are either SO made-or.
from the indefinable influence that mans
nature has on the appearance of his gar
ments, so hang about him in close olingipg
folds-as to produce, one knows not how,
the impression of asceticism he advances
with swift, silent stepe, and eyes fixed on
the ground. In the pulpit the time oc-
cupied by tue preacher in silent prayer is
rather long, Then, rising, his face ia seen
for the first time by the congregational
face not readily to be forgotten, with slen-
der, fiuely-cut features, an appearance
of ensnciation, from which the attention
of his hearers ia drawn of by the eye
beamiug with intellectual power, and the
noble and lofty, but not broad, forehead
above it"
