A GrangCr'S Dream.

The Landmark Gazette, a staunch
Granger paper, publishes the follow
ing, which is too good to be lost.
A Granger dreamed that he died :;
he went straight to the spirit world !;
he knocked at the gate of the New
Jerusalem, and it was opened unto
him. He was asked, "Did you ever
belong to any SO ret society p to
which he replied, Il did-to the
Grangcrs.' "Thcn, sir, you cannot
be admittcd-dcpart. lie then went
to the bottomless pit, where the
Same questions were again asked
him by tho devil, and again he was
told to depart. After he gono a
little way off, he was accostod by tho
homely ruler Of the pit, when the
following propositions we're mado :
"Stranger, said Nick, Il will not
admit you here; they do not want
you in heaven but will sell you
two hundred barrels of birthstone for
cash, ten por cent. of, and you can
start little hell of your own, with no
agents or middle men," ".. $685..

DY mrs. N. W, srRATToN.

Trrn not on mo that shud'ring gaze,
That lcnt hing, wond'ring look;
Fierce hatred in my soul you raise
Mans .oorp l cannot brook.
And can better bear to m cot
\ strangers open sncer
Than smiles know arc falsely sweet,
Ono is at least sincere,
Ny wan, unearthly face you see,
And wonder fate could bless
A warped distorted wretch like mo
With giidsd hideousness.
Yes, hAye Gold-tho shining heap
To me curse has been;
Distrust into my heart will creep,
Whom kindness eloe might win.
In youths strange career ran,
Mysterious and bright
feasted on tho praise Of man,
While shrouded from his sight.
And long fingered IN the shade,
Alone with book and pen /;
But tho a glorious name made,
J. was not happy then.
But forth into the world must bring
My hideous form aud face
Men wondered that so fond n thing
Could win so high place.
In evil hour laid aside
The friendly mask l wore,
Mistaken, deeply punished PRIDE
They worshipped me no more.
But while they shuddcred, still they smiled
For wealth lmmeusc was mine,
And friendship still mine ear beguilcd,
Aud round my heart could twine.
And Ind too dream oflove,
Let me not see thy sncer
Knowcst thou That intellect can move,
10 noble hearts be dear.
Or so Thought, whom o'or my soul
a flood of otrapturc swept;
a first deep love, beyond control,
Into my lone heart orept.
The witohing beauty of her face .@W

On hor fair form Of matchless grace
Remembrance dare not dwell.
bore her to my splendid home,
A lovely, gentle bride;
Through it's grand halls she loved to roam,
My treasure and my pride
But soon she dropped and passed away
Consumption bade us part;
Twas not despair--how dare they say
Hers was q broken heart !
Tho. tale Of those who knew her lest
Long treasured Aplwill be;
They said 4 mothers storm behest
Gave that fair bride 10 me.
Yhoy ssid that She had promised long
To, ,sfare another's lot;
1t was o tale of cruel wrong,
And lbcliove it not.
Oh tell one not that beauty's gift s'..'
Is yalpeless or vaiB, .',!..sa .lu. ;
When my dim eyes I cannot lift

A "wad" or "wcd" is a wager, q

in the Episcopal marriage service,
the bridegroom says "and thereto |
plight thee my trotb." Wedding

"and therefore | give thee my troth,'
