LIS OBJECTS.

we eAlIdCb Vic lOllOWluS pail-
graphs from an adm ira b Q
declaration of principles adopted
by the National Grange at its late
session in st. Louis. We see Moth
ing in the platform to merit or
awaken Incorporation of any good
citizen. If the ideas as set forth
are faithfully carried out they
will to a great degree purify the
political atmosphere and elevate
the tone of American indepen-
dence and thrift. We give the fol-
lowing that every one may judge
for himself Z:
United by the strong and faith
full tie of Agriculture, we mutual
ly resolve to labor for the good of
our Order, our country and man.
kind.
Ours being peculiarly farmers
institution, we cannot admit all to
our ranks.
Many arc excluded by the ma
ture Of our organization, not be-
cause they are professional men,
or artisans, or laborers, but be-
cause they have net a sufficient
direct interest in tilling or pastur-
ing the soil, or may have some
interest in conflict with our pur-
poses.
We shall endeavor to advance
our cause by laboring to accom-
plish the following objects /:
To develop better and higher
manhood and womanhood among
ourselves.
To enhance the comforts and
attractions of our homes, and
strengthen our attachments to our
pursuits.
To maintain, inviolate our laws
and to emulate each other in la
Dor to hasten the good time COM
ing.
TO reduce our expenses both in
dividual and corporate.
TO buy less and produce more,
in order to make our farms self
sustaining.
To diversity our crops, and crop
no more than we can cultivate.
To dlscoun tenance the credit sys-
tenn, the mortgage system, and
fashion system, and every other
system tending to prodigality and
bankruptcy.
We propose meeting together,
talking together, working togeth-
er, buying together, selling to
gether, and in general acting to-
gether for our mutual protection
and advancement, as occasion may
require.
We shall avoid litigation as
much as possible by arbitration
in the Grange.
We shall constantly strive to Sc
cure entire harmony, good will vi
tai brotherhood among ourselves,
and to make our order perpetual.
We shall earnestly endeavor to
suppress personal, local, sectional
and national prejudices, all I'M
healthy rivalry, all selfish ambi-
ton.
We are not the enemies of rail-
roads, navigable irrigating canals,
nor any corporation that will adj
vance our industrial interests, nor
OF any laboring classes.
In our noble order there is no
communism, no agrarianism.

COUNTRY CHILDREN.

Little fresh violets,
Born in the wild wood,
Sweetly Illustrating
Innocent childhood /;
Shy as the antelope
Brown as q berry
Free as the mountain air,
Romping and merry.
Blue eyes and hazel eyes
Peep from the hedges,
Shaded by sun bonnets,
Prayed at the edges.
Up in the apple trees,
Needless Of danger,
Manhood in embryo
Stares at the stranger.
Out in the billy patch,
Seeking the berries
Under the orchard trees,
Feasting on cherries
Trampling the blossoms
Down among the grasses,
No voice to hinder them,
Dear lads and lasses.
No grim propriety-
No Introduction (;
Free as the birding
From city restriction !
Coming the purest blood,
Strength ming each muscle,
Downing health armor.
'Gainst lifs's coming hustle.
Dear little innocents
Born in the wild wood /;
Oh, that all little ones
Had such a childhood J
Gods blue spread. over them,
Gods garden beneath them;
No sweeter heritage
Could we bequeath them

The following story comes from Ire
land Two men had quarrel in IL
quor shop They adjourned outside to
settle the dispute The first, man being
from Connaught, Immediately seized a
lump of stone and let fly at the head of
his opponent, who dipped his head and
missed the stone, which went through
an expensive plate glass window, and
did much damage A magistrate was
called upon next morning to determine
which of the two should pay the cost. -
The evidence clearly showed that the
aim was good one, and that if the
second man had not dipped his head he
would have been struck. Therefore"
said the magistrate, che must pay the
damages, as it is certain the first man
didn't intend to injure the window, and
the window would not have been injured
is it had not been for the act of the sec
ond man.

A Lost Love.

"She loved him for himself" Perhaps
that wasn't her fault But the fact was
be had nothing else to be loved for. She
married him. And still loved she him
for himself. lie gave not 50 much as a
single dollar to aid on her love. Last
week he returned home full D whisky as
barrel, and undertook to assert his
manly sway in too violent way. Ii
fact, he deliberately punched her IN the
eye, This was what turned her love
to gall and made her take up the wash
board, on witch she earned her own
and his support, and beaAor him with
it until there was very little Of the
board left; and his head looked like a
pumpkin which boys had been using as
a foot ball. Now he earns a living for
himself and wife. Such are some Of the
Inconsistencies of the human feminine.
