GRANGE DEPARTMENT
What the Grange Movement Means.

From an interesting essay read before
the Burr Oak, No. 1862, Of Lincoln
county, we make the following extract:
The grange-What is it? What are its
objects and what its design To nv mind
a mistaken idea prevails among the far
mers Of the country relative to this grand
and gigantic movement. They seem to
think that it was instituted primarily, to
affect unity Of action on the part Of til
lers of the soil to particular end, aud
thereby to enhance their interests as
producers. Furthermore, that its lead
ing object was to cause reduction in
the price Of machinery necessary on the
farm, thereby lessening their expenses
and increasing their capital. The farmer
expected he, by virtue of this union, could
invade the counting room of the merchant,
and demand a reduction in the, prices of
merchandise, or threaten him with a with
drawal of his custom. Or, if he choose,
he could enter the great workshops of the
country, and in the name Of his 'order
demand a change; in fact, revolutionize
and reform every phase OF business life.
He could then toll and feel that the
sweat of his brow would no longer serve to
increase the rich delicacies under which
the rich mans table groaned. He could
labor and look forward with a certainty
for an ample harvest, and while he worked,
visions of hope and glorious expectations
would fit before his imagination. He
could whistle and sing, for the hour of his
deliverance had come. To rectify some of
the evils above mentioned, and attain the
results indicated | readily grant, is one of
the objects of the Grange. But if you
stop here you fail to reach the mighty
motive power that moves this well ordered
machine. Higher objects than these are to
be attained. We must push forward and
faint not, for upon our banner is penciled
the golden words "Mental and moral ell
ovation" These are among life's possibili-
ties, and are worth striving for.
Tiller of the soil though you may be,
mudsills, hewers of wood and drawers OF
water, though you may have been thou
sand times called, and that notwithstand-
ing these epithets may have been heaped
upon you-still, like Cincinnatus, you
may be called from the pillow to rescue
your country from the political cormo-
rants, who are feeding upon its vitals.
Turn not away and exclaim, | am not
fitted for place and power. For it means
that you have brains that may be used; it
means that you have a God given mind
and intellect which can be improved and
made stonger by use, and that the dig
nifty of your manhood is not crushed, be-
cause, forsooth, you welded the blade or
follow the pillow. 1t means that you
should have a voice in the councils of the
nation. and that you should not be Missed
down because you hold the pillow. Ii
means improvement. 1t means advance
ment. 1t means Self-reliance. 1t means
that mind not muscle is to be the moving
power in effecting any permanent re-
form

Agricultural work orahe Grange.

The order of the Patrons of Husband
nv is the natural outgrowth of the isolated
agricultural societies, which for years
have been sowing broadcast the seeds for
the appearance of this precise organlza-
ton. 1t was time to unity and concentrate
the elements of agricultural life, and give
them effective direction and force. The
great agricultural community, on whom
confessedly rest all the other interests of
society, had long been the mere hunting
ground for the tratficing spirit, and had
been compelled to submit to injustice,
and to give up its advantage whenever
greed formed resolution to prey upon the
resources. The establishment OF the sys-
tenn of Oranges terminates this state OF
things forever. The Grange is not polit
zeal, not mercenary, not leveling or rev.
olutionary it is, on the contrary, thor
oughly Conservative in spirit, aggressive
only so far as is necessary for selt-protec
ton, and Jealous of the interests which
have hitherto been left almost alone to
themselves. 1t offers long needed shield
against frauds and impositions, so that it
will hereafter be impossible for farmers
to be deceived in the character Of agricul-
tural agents which are offered to their
patronage, by furnishing fixed standard
which all such objects will have to respond
to. In this one particular it furnishes
break-water to disarm the waves of out
side combination, and leave agriculture to
the rightful possession and enjoyment of
its own profits. sOnly what is worthy is to
receive recognition, and the farming fra
ternity becomes the more elevated by the
cultivation of spirit of honor and habit
of lofty, self-respect.- Massachusetts

But One vic for a Clergyman.

The refusal of Bishop Nottingham to
confirm the election of an assistant bishop
on the ground that the candidate had a
second wife, while St. Paul says that the
bishop should be the husband of but one,
has been productive ola sad result in New
Orleans. TheRev Albert Dyke, the pas
tor of a small church, was for several
years widower. A few months ago he
married a refined and wealthy young lady.
Apparently they loved each other in
tenseIy. He was a hard student, and
perhaps too much study unbalanced his
reason. Upon reading Of Bishop Whit
tingham's action, he became convinced of
its Justice, and that he had sinned by
marrying twice He brOoded over the
matter until, deciding that the salvation
of his soul was imperiled, he told his
wife that they must separate, and com
PEELED her TO 60 home to her parents. His
Church condemned his. course, and a suit
was brought to compel him to support his
wife. Her parents threatened 10 have him
sent to,an insane asylum, but this freak of
conscience was his only mental pecnllari-
ty. He processes to be griefstrcken at
the separation, but declares that he must
follow the line Of duty at any cost.

What the Patrons Propose 10 do.

We shall endeavor to advance our
cause by laboring to accomplish the fol-
lowing objects: To develop better and
higher manhood and womanhood among
ourselves. To enhance the comfort and
attraction of our homes, and strengthen
our attachments to our pursuits. To
foster mutual understanding and cooper
alton. To maintain inviolate our laws.
and to emulate each other in labor to
hasten the good time coming. To reduce
our expenses, both individual and cor
porate. To buy less and produce more,
IN order to make our farms self-sustain-
ing. To diversity our crops, and crop
no more than We can cultivate. To con-
dense the weight of our exports, selling
less on the bushel and more on the hoof
and In fleece. To systematic our work.
and calculate intelligently on probabili
ties. 10 dlscountenance the credit sys
tenn, the mortgage system, the fashion
system, and every other system tending
to prodigality and bankruptcy. We
propose meeting together, talking to-
gether, working together, buying together,
selling together, and in general acting
together for our mutual protection and
advancement, as occasion may require.
We shall avoid litigation as much as pos
sible by arbitration in the grange. We
shall constantly strive to secure entire
harmony, good will, vital brotherhood
among ourselves, and to make our order
perpetual. We shall earnestly endeavor
TO suppress personal, local, sectional and
national prejudices, all unhealthy rival
~, all selfish ambition. Faithful adj
herenee to these principles viii insure our
mental, moral, social and material ad-
vancement.

Why shouldn't boys be taught to be
neat as we'll as girls; also to be indus
trious? Why should three or four mas
culines sit all the long winter evening
idle, while the weary wife and mother
has never leisure moment she can call
her own? Mothers, if you would have
your boys strong and self-reliant, and at
the same time neat, careful, methodical
men, and your daughters strong-nerved,
healthy, selfsustaining women-train
them up together. Teach the boys to
be handy in the house, and let the girls
lend helping hand out doors. Both
will be the better for it. The girls
should work out doors as much as posi-
ble As | have watched the woodman
at the foot of some large tree, the thought
has come to me, that here is where you
get your strength and courage in master
ing obstacles above yourself, and in in
haling the fresh air of heaven. If your
mightiest implements were the mop and
broom, and your breathing brought no
purer air to the lungs than most kitchens
and sleeping rooms contain, you would
be as nervous and sickly and timid as the
majority of women are. In the summer,
when | find myself getting nervous and
fdgety, / fly to the garden and there
find sure panacea for many Of the ills
that poor woman is heir to.

a Good Idea.

Said an old farmer one day: ''My
daughter keeps my farm accounts, sir,
and she is as systematic and particular
as ever my son was, who kept them before
he left home. l tell you it does girls"
(and he might have added boys also)
good to give them some responsibility,
and set them to watching things about
the farm and household. They learn,
l find, economy by it, and soon discover
that their old father is not necessarily, a
grabbed old curmudgeon, because he does
not loosen his purse string whenever
they see something they happen to fancy /;
for they discover the real reason why the
purse should not be opened.

Many of the live masters of the subor-
dinate oranges are doing everything they
can to make the meetings of their order
pleasant and lively. To accomplish this
where there are two or three oranges,
located conveniently to each other, it is
recommended that they alternately meet
with each other. At such meetings,
some agricultural question should be dis
cussed, and thus the ladies and gentle
men will be perfecting themselves in the
science of agriculture.
