Saving and Having.

Either man must be content with
poverty all his life, or else be willing
to deny himself some Injuries, and
save, to lay the base of Independence
in the future. But If 4 man defes the
future, and spends all that he earns.
whether his earnings be one dollar or
ten dollars every day. let him look
tor lean and hungry want az some
future time-for it will surely come.
no matter what he thinks.
To save is absolutely the only way
to get solid fortune; there is no other
certain mode. Those who shut their
eyes and ears to these plain facts will
be forever poor, aud for their obstinate
rejection of the truth, mayhap will die
in rags and filth. Let them so die and
thank themselves. But, mol They
take sort of recompense In eursing
fortune. Great waste of breath They
might as well curse mountains and
eternal hills. For can tell them for
tune does not give away her real and
substantial goods. She sells them to
the highest bidder, to the hardest,
wisest worker for the boon. Men
never make so fatal mistake as when
they think they are mere creatures Of
fate; tis the sheerest folly in the
world. Every man may make or mar
his life, whichever he may choose.
Fortune is for those who, by diligence,
honesty, frugality, place themselves in
position to grasp hold of fortune when
i appears in view. The best evidence
1f frugality is the FIVE hundred dollars
)r more standing in your name at the
savings bank. The best evidence of
honesty is both diligence and frugality.

The man who haunts newspaper
Offices for exchanges is an energetic
and reliable soul. He is never among
the killed, wounded, nor missing.
There may be marine disasters, rail-
road catastrophes, hotel holacausts,
earthquakes and whirlwinds. but the
manwho getsexchanges is never caught
in any Of them. He always comes
back. We have a full list Of those
gentlemen, some of whom are down
for dailies, some for weeklies and
others for mi-weeklies. They have
their favOrites, but if those happen to
be missing they calmly go to work and
pick out an armful Of the next best
newspapers, carefully assorted. Any
newspaper Offices exchange customers
can do that, but there is one on our
list who goes to the foundation of the
business. he has put in an appliea-
ton for back numbers. Now, that
is the kind of man who ought to be
encouraged. We admire him. What
ever inattentions he may receive in
any other department of the paper, he
may always feel assured Of welcome
in the paragraphic department, and if
we haven't back numbers Of any ex-
changes on hand whenever he may
call for them, they shall be printed to
order for him. Long live the man who
conceived the idea of getting back
numbers Of exchanges Washington

The Grange-Obiects AND benefits.

At the recent installation of the Off
GERS of the New Hampshire State
Grange an excellent address was de-
livered by Col. u. Wyatt Aiken, from
which we extract the following para
graphs concerning the objects and
benefits of the Grange:
THE founders, seeing how much CO.
operation and concentration were do
ing for every other association, con-
ceived the idea that the same eo-ope-
rative principle might be employed for
the benefit Of the farming class; and
the people for whose benefit it was
conceived saw that it was good, and
took hold of il In earnest.
One great object of the Grange is to
elevate the farmers. From the nature
of their calling, they are much isOla-
ted, and the isolation tends to make
them unsocial and selfish. The far
mer's wife never goes anywhere, be-
cause her husband cannot find time or
disposition to go with her, and she be-
comes unsocial and selfish also. This
is characteristic of the farming COM
munity from Maine to Texas. In the
Grange they are brought together and
their social natures are developed and
elevated. He had been in many States,
but he had found none where the far
mer and his wife did not find time to
go to the Grange after they had once
entered.
Then the Grange is an educating
power. He believed it required more
mind, thought, energy, to make sue
cessful farmer, than any other avoea-
ton III life. This is an age of progress,
and the man who stands still and don't
study 30 improve, will go backward.
Farming must be studied. Agrieul-
ture is large science, and the more
we study it the larger field spreads out
before US. To be true farmer, a man
should study to prepare himself as
much as for any of the professions.-
In the Grange the latent intelligence
of the farmer is brought out, and each
can learn of the other some new idea
or method. Two heads are always
better than one. Not only does the
Grange improve him educa'ionally and
socially, but morally. The farmer
ought above all Others, to be Christ
ian. His avocation should peculiarly
lead him to look through nature up to
natures God. The Grange makes
him charitable.
Referring to the secrecy of. the Or
der, he said it was that which gave it
cohesion and permanency. In all
trades and professions there is de-
gree of secrecy, and the most success
full man is he who keeps his plans to
himself. In the Grange there is just
enough secret to make it attractive.
The Grange also does what no party
or organization has done, unites the
people of all parts Of the country. Ii
says to every man in the Union
Come in, and I'll give you the hand
of friendship" 1t knows no north,
no south, no east, no west. 1t bridg-
es the bloody cnasm which has divi-
ded different sections.
The constitution Of the Grange pro-
hibits the discussion Of religion or
politics, aud neither political nor re-
ligious tests for membership are allow
ed. Yet this means 10 exclude only
and partisanship, for re-
ligion in its true sense is always taught
here, and there is no filter subjects
than politics in its real meaning-the
science of government-for our con-
sideration.

Be Kind.

Very few have a realizing sense of
the true value of kindness. Thous-
ands sink down deeper and deeper in
guilt Just for the want of kind and
cheerful word to encourage them when
their burdens were heaviest.
Fountains of tears have been shed,
and many a yearning heart broken,
when few pleasant words might have
proved healing balm. and out of
nights deep darkness brought forth a
bright and beautiful morning, each sad
and surviving one deriving new hope
and strength from every tone of love.
Turn not upon the offender with cold
and scornful eyes and harsh reproof.
but strive to win with gentleness and
love. Let us all cherish the radiant
gem of Kindness, SOW the good seed in
every soil, feed and nourish it with the
warm rays of love, till the noble soul
of man shall bud and blossom in un-
faded glory, which otherwise might
have went down to a nameless grave,
saved by n few words which cost
nothing, and the value priceless, lead
ing the toilworn feet up to the gates OF
Heaven from toilsome paths below.
then, crowned with life's immortal
star, reap the harvest and receive the
reward that to faithful ones is given

4 HE FIRESIDE
Childrcn's Night Dresses.

Let mc give bit Of my experience rs
regards night dresses for children. Ihave
u little boy of twenty months, and as cold
weather came on I made him some night
rcsscs ofcotton flannel with legs to them,
iat he should not be exposed even if he
got uncovered.
Soon after putting them on, noticed
That lie did not sleep we'll and grow cold
toward morning, notwithstanding tho
abundance Of covering hc had over him.
He gradually lost his appetite, looked
blue and pinclcd and wis losing flesh,
AfterendurinS thisubout six weeks, yainly
trying tn find what nilctl him, we consult
ell physician. lie told us lie was not
properly dressed ut night. He said cot
ton flannel was not the material for chill
dren, for when it gets wet it clings to
them aud Is cold IA ice. He also de-
nounccd the idea of making legs to the
dresses; said that the limbs should not
be separated but should come together.
His directions were to make night dress
of flannel long enough to lny on the floor
half yard, just like big bag; run
string i'll the bottom of this, and when tho
child goes to bed sic it up. In this way
the legs cannot get out aud there is per-
feet freedom of motion. We did 30 ut
once, and it worked like q charm. No
more lying awake nights wondering what
the trouble is. The little fellow sleeps
soundly md awakcs in the morning re-
freshcd and with n good appetite.
feel so pleased with tile result that if
any mother is troubled in tho same way
would advise her to "go and do likewise"

How to do up Summer Suits.

In one Of her late fashion letters, Jen-
ME June says: tt
1t was remarked in previous letter
that the laundress has quite as much to
do with an elegant appearance in summer
rs the mediate; in fnct the extensive uso
to which cotton nnd linen materials nre
now put in the construction of costumes
has greatly increased the demand for, as
well rs the emolumcuts of, these Iaborious
but little appreciated class Of household
laborcrs.
Summer suits are nearly all made Of
whitcur buff linen, pique, cambria or mus
lin, and the art of preserving the new ap-
pcarancc after wishing, is a matter of
great Importance.
Common washcrwomen spoil every
thing with soda, and nothing is more fre-
1ucnt than to sec the delicate tints of
lawns and percalcs turned into dark
biotchcs and muddy strcaks by the igno-
rance and vandalism of laundress.
1t is worth while for Indies TO pay at
tention to this, and insist upon having
their summer dresses washed according
TO the directions which they should 10
prepared to give their laundrcsses them
selves.
In the first plncc the water should 10
tcpid, the soap should not be allowed to
touch the fabric; it should be washed and
rinscd quick, turned upon the wrong side;
and hung in the shnde to dry, and when
starchcd, lin thin boiled, but not boiling,
starch) should be folded in sheets or
towels.
