The Sranger's Ten Commandments.
/. Thou shalt love the Grange with
all thy heart and with allthysou and
thou shalt love thy brother Grangers
as thyself.
III. Thou shalt not suffer the name
of thy Grange to be evil spoken of.
but shall severely ehastise the wretch
who spesks of IL with cOrfemp..
Ill. Remember that Saturday Is
Granger day On it thou shalt SET aside
thy hoe and rake. aud sewirg machine,
and wash thyself. and appear before
the Master in the Grange with smiles.
and soags, and hearty cheer. On the
fourth week thou shalt not appearemp-
ty-handed. but shall surely bring pair
OF ducks, a turkey roasted with fire, a
cake baked in the oven, and pies and
fruits In abundance for thy Harvest
Feast. SO shalt thou eat and be mer-
ry. and ''freights and fares" shall be
remembered no more
~ Honor thy Master. and all who
sit in authority over thee, that the DAYS
of the Grange may be long in the land
which Uncle Sam hath given thee.
v Thou shalt not go to law,
VI. Thou shalt not burn thy straw.
but shall surely stack it for the cattle
in the winter. s
VII. Thou shalt do no business on
tick" Payas thou goest, as much as
in thee lieih.
VIII Thou shaltsupport the Gran
gers Bank; for thus it becometh thee
to fulfil the laws of business.
1X. Thou shalt by oil means have
thy life insured in the Grangers' Life
Insurance Company, that thy wife and
little ones may have friends when thou
art cremated and gathered unto thy
fathers.
\. Thou shalt have no Jewish mid
dlemen between thy ranch and Liver
pool, to fatten on thy honest toll; but
shalt surely charter thine own ships.
and sell thine own produce, and use
thine own brains. This is the last and
great commandment. On this hangs
lll the law and the profits. And if
there be any others, they are these:
Choke monopolies, break up rings, votes
for honest men, fear God and make
money. So shalt thou prosper; and
sorrow and hard times shall fee away.

PROPHECY OF JOHN C. CAL
Holm.
From the Richmond Enquirer

/ From the Richmond Enquirer.l
! The following prophecy, which has
been nearly literally fulfilled is from an
address of the Southern delegates in
Congress to their constituents in 1919,
Hon. John c. Calhoun being the au-
thor:
"lfemancipation should ever be ef-
fected, it will be through the agency Of
the Federal Government. controlled BY
the dominant power of the Northern
States against the rcsistanceands strug-
gle of the Southern. 1t can then only
be effected by the prostration of the
white race; and that would necessarily
engender the bitterest feelings of hos
tihty between them and the North.
Owing their emancipation to them,
they could regard them as friends, pa
irons and guardians, and center ac-
cordingly, all their sympathy in them.
The people of the North would not
fail to reciprocate. and to favor them
instead of the whites. Under the in
fiuence of such feelings, and impelled
by fanaticism and love of power, they
would not stop at emancipation.
Another step would be taken TO raise
them to political and social equality
with their former owners By giving
them the right of voting and holding
public Offices under the Federal Gov
eminent.
We see the first step toward it in
the bill already alluded toto vest the
few blacks and slaves with the right to
vote on the question of emancipation
in this district But when once raised
to an equality they would become the
fast political associates of the North,
acting and voting with them on all
questions, and by this political union
between them, holding the white race
at the South in complete subsection.
The blacks and profigate whites that
might unite with them could become
the principal recipients of Federal Of
fees and patronage, and would in con-
sequence be raised above the whites in
the South in the political and social
scale.
We would, in a word, change con-
ditions with them-a degradation
greater than has ever yet fallen to the
lot of free and enlightened people,
and one from which we could not es-
cape should emancipation take place |
(which it certainly will if not prevent
ed, } but by fleeing the homes of our
selves and ancestors, and by abandon /
ing our country to our former slaves,
to become the abode of disorder, an /
archy, and wretchedDess.

Condiments in Poultry Diet.

Cayenne pepper, mustard, or ginger,
can, with great benefit, be added TO
the food Of fowls, to increase their
vigor, and to stimulate egg production.
This apparently artificial diet will be
seen TO be natural if we remember that
wild birds of the gallinaeeous species
get access to very many highly-spiced
berries and buds; articles that give
the game flavor" to their flesh. The
ordinary food of the domestic fowls is
not, indeed. entirely without such ad-
dition, since there is more or less of
an aromatic principle in wheat, Indian
corn, and all other grains. Neverthe-
less. it is not sufficient in quantity 10
supply the place Of the stronger spices.
a taste for which is part of the fowls
inherited constitution. A moderate
quantity of cayenne, &c, added to the
ground grain is productive of health
and thrift in pOultry.-The Poultry
World.

JOHN BRouGHAm-A FAREWELL.
BY WILLIAM wISrER.

The following poem was read by its au.
thor, Mr.. William Winter, at the Lotos
Club dinner 10 John Brougham, on the
l4th OF June-a banquet preliminary to
the actors departure for Europe. 1t was
received with remarkable, appreciation.
Four several times during the reading the
whole company OF seventy-hve rose from
the table and interrupted the poet with
prolonged cheers and waving of handker-
chiefs.
If buds by hopes OF spring are blessed,
fhe sleep beneath the SNOW,
And hearts by coming joys caressed,
Which yet they dimly know
On fields where England's daisies CLEAN,
And Irelands shamrock bloom
To-day shall summer, in her dream,
Be glad with thoughts of Brougham.
Too day. DER miles and miles of sea,
Beneath the Joeund sun,
With inerrier force and madder glee
The hammered winds shall run:
To-day great waves shall ramp and roar,
And clash their shields OF foam.
With bliss to feel the coming keel
That bears the wanderer homei
For he that loved and honored here
God bless his silver head y
Ger many q heart, for many year,
The dew Of joy has she'd
Longs for the land that gave him birth.
Turns back to boy again.
And, bright with all the flags of mirth,
Sails homeward DER the main.
All, well may winds and waves be gay,
And flowers and streams rejoice,
And that sweet region, far away, 81
becoming one greeting voice
For he draws backward 10 that place,
Who ne'er by deed or art,
Made darkness in one human face,
Or sorrow in one heart!
He comes, whom all the rosy sprites,
Round Humor's throne that Lhrong,
Have tended close through golden nights
OF laughter, wit and song;
Whom Loves bright angels still have
He ne'er forgot to hear
The helpless Widows snppliant moan,
Or dry the orphans tear.
Where boughs of oak and willow toss
His iife's white pathway flows
With many an odor blown across,
OF lily and of rose.
His gentle life that blessings crown
Is fame no chance can dim;
And we honor manhood's best renown,
When now we honor him!
VII.
idols crowned to-day
Tomorrow are uncrowned;
Their fragments are OF common clay,
Strewn on the common ground.
But, unto moiIarchs OF tile heart
Are crowns immortal given,
And they who choose this better part
Are anchor fast on Heaven.
VIII.
Grief may stand silent in the eve,
And silent oH the lip,
When, poised betwee;l the sea and sky,
Dips down the fading ship.
But there's one charm his heart to keep
And hold his constant mind
He'll find no love beyond the deep.
Like that he leaves behind.
TX.
So to thy breast old ocean take
This brother OF our soul
Ye winds, be gaEtle for his sakei
Ye billCvs. smoothly roll!
And thou. sad Ireland. green and fair,
Across the waters Vtld,
Stretch forth strong arms of loving care,
And guard thy favorite child.
And whether back to us he drift,
Or pass beyond our view,
Where iife's celestial mountains lift
Their peaks above the blue
Gods Will be done! whose gracious viii,
Throgh all our mortal fret,
One sacred blessing leaves us still:
To love-and not forget.

4 Cornwall farmer told US that his
cattle were so gentle and kind that
they followed him all over the farm,
and in passing haystack they would
often call him, upon which be oblig-
ingly gave each one a lock of hay.
The traits referred to are not uneOm-
mon among dOmesticated animals.
We were visiting family last week in
the vicinity of Goshen, aud having oe-
casion to cross 4 field where a male
COW was grazing, when he followed US
to the gate with an eager expression,
and lifting the gate off its hinges, he
came after us at full speed. 30 doubt
he would have called when he passed
a haystack, but the folks were waiting
dinner for us and we couldn't stop. So
we left cur eoat-tail and a portion Of
our pants on the gentle creature ;

A Jewel Down in Georgia.

The following graphic description of
the real jewels of the fair South is Civ
en- by paper printed in the State of
Georgia: Among the many visitors
who came to our city Saturday last to
sell their country produce, was young
lady from an adjoining county who ha,
chickens, eggs and butter for sale. Her
beauty was of transcendant excellence;
Bright, flashing Intellectual eyes, aud
face round and rosy, while her calico
dress was plain and neatly made, and
fitted beautifully Her rich black
hair hoated in luxuriant richness.
Highly educated, she conversed fluent
ly, and deported her self with beeom-
ing modesty. She wore no false bus
tie or purchased complexion had no
top-knOt on her head, or false fixings
to present, but stood in the majestic
beauty of created intelligence that
would not yield to the despotie die
tates of frivolous fashion. 1t had been
a long time since we gazed upon such
a sight. The young men crowded
around her wagon with curiosity in
their eyes and admiration in their
hearts. The old men wept for joy that
there was one who had not bowed to
Baal. She sold her country produce,
went home, MIXED the cows, cooked
supper for ten farm laborers, and went
to church that night with her sweet
heart.
