lington Sunday evening, at which was present
large congregation. The young men are very
popular, and are doing good work.
The PEOPLE OF the county are now provided
with excellent officers Payne, County Clerk,
as is shown by his re-clectioo Richardson,
Sheriff, ha, established his record as a good
citizen, and Thomson, Superintendent of the
Poor, will prove the right man In the right

Mr.. Lot w. Croker has such poor health
he intends selling out and moving to the city,
which his friends In Arlington deeply regret.
The Arlington Turnpike is as rough AS.
However the canal bridge is in such condition
that it endangers human life. and as life is
very precious, the company had better spend
few dollars and thereby save, perhaps,
thousands.

TWO cases death was the result.
The work of cuttiog away the Fort Ruuoon
Hill, on the Arlington turnpike, by the brick
yard owners, progresses very slow y, aud it is
doubtful whether it will be accomplished with

Tue political sentiment of the county, just
now, is very wholesome. There is some anxiety
about the amendments to the constitution,
which will play havoc with the incumbents of
the county Offices it adopted.

Patrons of Husbandry.

This Is the first time the Ma
tional Grange of Patrons of Hus-
bandry, lately in session at St.
Louis, has assembled after max
ing any CONSPICUOUS figure in pol
itics and legislation. 1t is the
seventh annual session, but it is
not much more than a year since
the movement began to be popu-
lar. The convention represents
about II, 800 subordinate oranges
with total membership of near
ly a million, distributed through
thirty-two States and two Terri
tories, the province of Quebec
having also formed provincial
grange. In every department
and detail of Western life the Or
der is claimed 10 have exerted an
immense influence and TO have
been a political, social and NOR
al revolution. Who shall be
members is one of great ques
ton to be decided by the con-
vention. The Western oranges
consist almost entirely of farmers
except i'll the large cities; but
there is hardly an Eastern grange
that has not in it some members
who do not obtain their subsis-
tance entirely by cultivating the
soil.

Silent People.

We all reckon among onr
friends or acquaintances some 81
lent man or woman whose inhn-
ence is felt. whose rarely express
ed opinion carries weight. whose
words few indeed. but well chos
en-, spoken in clear harmonious
tones go to the point and decide
it. We have all met with quiet,
well read, and well-bred women,
whose society we have sought
and found an -ever-increasing 2
thirst for-women whose minds
unfolded, leaf by leaf, rare beau
ties, which made one feel better
for every hour spent with them.
To know such women is to study
them, is to love them, to hunger
for their society, to prize their
presence is to regret their alb
sence, and to mourn them forev-
er when they have passed into
the 'ssilent land" To such wom-
en- the world owes much, far
more than to those who speak
these are the women who make
home happy and life beautiful ;
to whom the cross word, the i'm
patient tone, are strangers, whose
children are surprised at harsh
tone, and who never fear the
blow they have 10 knowledge
of; these are they who, say moth
ing Of women's rights, think the
more of women's duties, the chief
of which is a woman's highest
privilege, making home happy.

Care Of Tools.

If farmers will examine theil
tools at this season of the yeal
they will doubtless find that hir
ed men have brought in plows
harrows and hand-tools, and
housed them without thorough
cleaning. Take the first oppor.
tunity to clean them and polish
the metallic parts bright rub
bing them afterwards with a lit
tie beeswax, grating wax or sim.
liar substances, to protect the
surface and prevent rusting. The
wooden part of all tools and i'm
plements which are at any time
exposed to the weather, will last
many times longer, if well i'm
pregnated with oil. The best,
as well as the cheapest, is crude
petroleum, rs it penetrates the
pores and makes perishable wood
like the most durable cedar. In
cool weather it will be necessary
to warm or heat ii to as high a
temperature as will be safe be-
fore annointed. so thaG it may
enter the pores of the wood

Gentle Ways.

There are a thousand gentle
ways which every person may
put on without running the risk oI
being deemed either affected or
foppish. The pleasant smile, the
quiet, cordial bow, the earn
est movement in addressing a
friend, the inquiring glance, the
graceful attention, VIII insure the
good regards of even a churl.
Above all there is a certain soft
ness of manner which should be
cultivated, and which adds a
charm that almost entirely com
pensates for lack of beauty. and
inestimably enchances the latter,
if it does exist.

Little Katy's Present.

1t was not a very pretty thing
to give away, l am afraid you
will think, children, and SO shall
not tell you what it was just yet
but wait till you know a little
about Katy, and then l think you
will agree with me in admiring
the present she sent me.
Katy is a little Irish girl OF
about twelve years now, just old
enough to be going to school still
and having good time after it
playing a good deal and working
a little, and getting ready for the
hard lot sure 10 come to her by
and by. And so she did, till her
kind hard working mother died
two years ago, and left her with
the care-open your eyes wide
now-yes, left her with the care
of a family of ten! her father and
nine children, herself included.
Now what do You think of that I?
Do you not think she is a right
brave little woman to keep up
her courage and cheerful heart,
while her small hands are busy
all day with cooking the food and
sweeping the house, and trying
to keep the little brothers and
sisters tidy enough to go TO
schools More than this, tired and
worn as she must be, she can not
give up all learning herself, but
attends quite regularly an eve
ming school, and is making good
progress in her studies.
Now am not afraid to tell
you how her grateful heart show
ed itself, for am sure you would
not laugh, though you may smile
and say, "Poer little Katy" when
you hear it."
One autumn morning her aunt
who works for me, came in with
such a big bundle in her. she
could scarcely hold it saying, as
she laid it down, 'sThere, mann, is
Katy's present to you sure, with
her love, and she hopes you'll be
having as kind a friend if you are
sick in trouble, as you were to
her poor mother when her last
sickness came"
As took up the two fine cab
bages, and put them carefully
away, you can believe that | fe,t
more like tears than smiles, for !
loved and honored that mother
ignorant and uncouth though she
was, she was so faithful in her
work for me and others, as well
as so devoted in her love for her
children, and | knew well what
a terrible loss she was to them
all.
So, dear favored children, who
read this little story, will you
learn a lesson of little Katy in
being brave under heavy,,burdens.
cheerful under bereavements,
and grateful for kindness shown!
Slnasmuch as We do itunto one
of the least of these, We do it un-
to me. "-ChrsstGin Weekly.
