Beauties OF Grange Life.

A Kentucky Patron says: The
Order of the Patrons is the only asso-
citation that originates, exists and works
with its members in their daily avoca-
tions. 1t is part of the farmers life.
1t does not call him from his work to
put his mind on any other subject, but
tends to recreation in his daily duties,
and, by cheerful instruction, the light
en- and elevate his labor. Its teach
ings are the loftiest man can seek. 1t
does not interfere with his religious or
political views. In morality it seeks
the highest point. Honesty is inculea-
ted, education natured, charity is a
prominent characteristic, temperance
is supported and brotherly love culti-
yated, 1t is designed to bind the
farmers together in fraternity and, by
encouraging education, advance to a
higher state of perfection the science
of agriculture. We aim to encourage
the planting of fruit and flowers, by
which to enhance the value and in
crease the attractions of our homes
adorning them with those beauties so
lavishly given US by the God of nature.
There is no calling more eleyating
to the mind than that of agriculture,
when viewed as instructed in our
Order.

Garfield on Newspapers.

In the discussion in the House of
Representatives on the franking privil-
ege. Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, said he
would vote for that part of the bill al
lowing free transmission to weekly
newspapers in the county of their pub
licatiOn. The whole country newspa-
per press had been almost fatally Grip
pied by the repeal of the framing priv
ilege. In his Judgment the 5000 week
ly newspapers of the country were the
best real exponents of public opinion.
A man who climed to the fifth story of
a metropolitan newspaper at III o O'clock
at night, and slashed off an editorial
and sent it of to the country, called
that the public sentiment of the Amer
lean people. In country newspapers
the editor, quiet sensible man, who,
in the course of the week, saw men
from every township in the country,
and had his mind filled with the best
thoughts of his country, wrote notices
and editorials during the week gave
more of the public sentiment of that
county than all the metropolitan jour-
nails Of the United States could give Of
that county. The repeal of the frank
threatened to carry down with it very
large number of country papers that
could hardly live if the present order
of things continued.

The Louisville Courier-Journal, in
referring to the General Conference
and the Episcopal bench, has the fol-
lowing about our Nashville Bishop /:
Bishop Holland N. McTyeire was
born to rule. His person is command
ing, bis will strong and his self-reli-
ance thorough. He knows the law,
and he abides by it he is sohd as gran
ite, and firm as solid; he is retieent al
most to fault, and his very reticence
causes him to be misunderstood. He
is fast and true friend, and possesses
under a comparatively cold exterior a
heart glowing with warmth, throbbing
with love to all his race As he is slow
Of speech, he has to be heard often in
the pulpit to be fully appreciated. he
is about fifty-nine years old, and has
been Bishop eight years.

GIVE A LITTLE.-A very learned
Judge was once asked what he would
do if a man owed him ten pounds and
refused to pay. His reply was worth
remembering by those who are quick
to take offence and begin QUARREL
He said:
Rather than bring an action against
him with its costs and uncertainty,
would give him a receipt in full of all
demands yea, and | would send hin
FIVE pounds over to cover all possible
expenses.
That was his conclusion after exten-
sive observation on the matter of go
ing to law.
Two millers, whose mills were on
the same stream, went to law about a
trife connected with the water-power
1t made: but few dollars difference
with either of them, but both were toe
obstinate to give up the point. So they
they kept it in the courts until the law
yer of one took the upper mill for his
pay, and the lower mill fell into the
hands of the other miller slawyer. II
is not likely the lawyers kept up the
quarrel.
1t is not always wise to be too deter
mined on having all our rights. 1t is
better to give little u than to quar-
rel. If one smites you on the right
cheek, it is better to :" turn the other
also than to strike back. Quarrel
some children are very likely to make
quarrelsome men and women. Leave
off contention before it is meddled
with, " is Divine direction.
