its horrid fangsi -
Just then her father looked in the
tent. He saw the serpent at once-at
once realized the peril of his child.
An involuntary cry escaped him. The
Hindoo guides were soon az his side.
They looked hopelessly at their mus
kets and their knives. They could
neither cut nor shoot the serpent, ly-
ing so closely against the girl, without
MORALLY wounding her.
For them to attempt to seize the
creature with their hands must also
prove fatal to the young woman. The
moment they touched it, it would bite
her throat.
What was to be done? How was
the serpent to be removed?
Not one of them could think Of any
plan, and the old captain wrung his
hands in silent agony, believing that
the fate of his child was sealed.
Suddenly Henry Melton made his
appearance at the door of the tent.
The guides and the captain, in their
trepidatlon and alarm, had forgotten
him. He might have escaped, had he
so wished.
The moment he beheld Sylveen' s
situation, his eyes cleaned with cold,
steady glitter. The girl lay on her back,
her right side toward the door ofthe
tent. In this position her throat, with
the head of the serpent nesting upon
it, was distinctly revealed.
Henry raised his left arm, as a sign
to the party TO make no noise. With
his right he drew his pistol.
"Holdp whispered the captain
seizing his wrist. IF you fire at the
serpent you will kill my child !"
Il will save her." answered Melton

bullet will fail-it must fail, with the

Then kpeeling, Henry leveled his
pistol straight at the serpent's head
which still rested on the girls throat
There was moment of fearful sus-

solemnly, believing that the young wo.

again, when a fiery streak of fame

The captain did so. Henry was par

In the course of time he become al
officer, and married Sylveen.

What the true man wants with a wife
is her companionship, sympathy, and
love. The way of life has many dreary
places in it, and man needs a compan-
ion to go with him. A man is some
times oyertaken by misfortunes he
meets. with failure and defeat trials
and temptations beset him, and he
needs one to stand by and sympathize.
He has some hard battles to fight with
poverty, enemies, and with sin; and
he needs woman that, when he puts
his arm around, he feels he has some
thing to fight for; she will help him to
fight; that will put her lips to his ear
and whisper words of counsel, and her
hands tohis heart, and impart inspira-
ton. All through life, through storm
and adverse and favoring winds man
needs a woman's love. The heart
yearns for it. A sisters or mother
love will hardly supply the need.

What Has The Grange Done !

What has the Grange done for our
country that its history should be ex-
plored, its philosophy illustrated and
its claims advanced as among the in
fuences which impel civilization?
1t has enabled the farmers to elevate
their vocation, to make division Of la
Dor which tends to equalize society and
to teach the benefit of kindly depend
dence. 1t unites our people North,
South, East and West, cultivates
kindly relations between them, encour-
ages an interest in each other and pro-
notes brotherly feeling, is the strong
est guarantee of permanent friendship
People that differed in opinion, in
thought and in education, have been
brought in contact, to find how much
there is in common to them all, and to
improve their condition; by supplying
the wants of one section from the
abundance of the other.
The friendly intercourse created by
the Grange is slowly but surely revo-
lutionizing the whole country. 1t has
been but a short time since men of
both sections met only on the field of
battle; now they meet as brothers in
the Grange, where, in consulting their
own interestsas an Order, they advance
the cause of humanity and peace.
These are some of the glorious things
the Grange has already done and will
continue to do until we are once more
united and prosperous people.
Let US Of the South not despond.
The end is not ys:, Let the oppressed
and down-trodden be oheered, for
Eternal Justice watches over ali, and
moves onward TO overcome wrong and
oppression in His own good time.
