WHAT FATHER TAKEs.-There is food for
thought in the story that is told of young
lad, who for the first time accompanied his
father to public dinner. The waiter asked
him, "What will you take to drink =
Hestating for moment, he replied, "Tll
take what father takes.
The answer reached his fathers ear, and
instantly the full responsibility of his posi-
ton flashed upon him. Quicker than light.
ming various thoughts passed through his
mind; in moment his decision was made,
and in tones tremulous with emotion, and to
the establishment of those who were acquaint-
ed with him, he said, "Waiter, I'll take wa

PERSONALITY OF THE SPIRIT.-A young
student preparing for college was assailed by
a skeptc who sneered at the idea of the Holy
Spirit being person. "Personality of the
Spirit" said he; "why the Spirit is wind,
breath, air; the very Greek word shows you
this, for it simply means wind. BE it
so,' replied the young man "then be so
good as to tell me the meaning of this pas
sage: Except man be born of water and
of the wind, he can not enter the kingdom
of God, that which is born of the flesh is
flesh, and that which is born of the wind is
wind" The skeptic had no answer, and the
student cogl !" Your words are born
of the wind, >l@.Ih5t of the Spirit. Gray
i ART OF LIVING WITH OTHERs.-It is not
we'll for us to cherish the habit of dwelling
much on the faults and shortcomings of those
with whom we live. 1t makes US more criti-
cal than generous. 1t affects the manner Of
our cordiality toward them. 1t sensibly les
sens our confidence. 1t interferes with the
delicious ease and freedom of our intercourse
with them. 1t colors the remarks that we
make about them to others, and then reacts
with double force upon our own feelings and
our relations to them. 1t is said of the vir-
tuous woman, whose price is above rubies
{ that the law of kindness is in her tongue
But in order to be in the tongue, it must
first be in the heart, and the habit of dwell
ling much on the imperfections of our friends
: and associates will soon drive it from US.

Of course am not insensible to the great
value of Investigations in the many fields Of
science. Such investigation and inquiry is
only an attendant upon advancing civiliza'
ton, and the result of mans elevation, and
the high duty of man. But as these abilities
to enquire are the product of civilization, SO
they must not be used to assault the Word
of God, the parent of civilization and there
fore the parent of their own existence.
These inquiries into the profound depths
of Nature are to be conducted by minds i'm
bued with the fear of God, which have hum
bled themselves to receive His Word and to
walk by it. Compare this writer, for in
stance, with Newton and others, for frequent
and reverential, even devotional references
to God in their writings.)
An infdel, or man of slight hold on the
Bible, is wholly untitled for such duty,
because he has left behind the very highest
knowledge; he has no foundation; he is not
in accord with God, and is, therefore, out of
harmony with his works in nature; and so
can't understand anything.
He has no right to enter upon such a
work: or if he has, it only amounts to the
right to "darken counsel by words without
knowledge" And so in judging of the
character of labors of this kind | am apt to

Objects OF the Grange.

1st. The association Of the farmers
and all men directly interested in
agriculture, into an organization for
mutual protection from all manner
of swindling.
ID. For the cultivation of the NOR
al, social and industrial habits of the
people; also educational advancement
in literature, agricultural and christ
ianity.
Sd. The dispensing with 4 great
swarm of impositions practiced on
us as laboriug men by agents, sub
agents, double sub-agents and patent
right men; and all other men who
are continually running over our
country swindling us out Of our mo-
ncy.
4th. To teach the farmers more Of
the science Of farming, in order that
they may raise more grain on one
acre of ground; more pounds of beef
and pork with less expense; to i'm
prove the stock of the farm general
"; and to take every advantage of
our business. We are all aware that
nine-tenths OF the farmers have no
system by which to doanything, and
consequently do everything by main
strength and awkwardness; and the
result is half a crop Of grain, runty
stock, bad fences, an old dilapidated
house, no good outbuildings, and the
owner overrm with debt. My I'M
derstanding of the Grange movement
is to eradicate all these difficulties,
and teach the farmers how to make
their business sclf-sustaining.
18th. We not only propose to teach
the foregoing principles, but teach
how to spend less and economizc ex-
penses more, that We may live and
keep orr families cheaper and better,
with better health. ! believe the

Origin of.he Term "E.oaGes.''

Many years ago, a heary-sterned
Dutchman in the city Of New York,
on the Atlantic frontier, acquired a
fortune, and reared to womanhood a
handsome daughter. y young Yam
kee, who had great capacity for the
enjoyment of rest, fell in love, rath-
or with the money-5ags Of the an
cient Amsterdamer, or the person Of
his heir-at-law, or both, and made
himself exceedingly plenty in and
about the Dutch Domicile, much to
the affection and vexation of the
paternal heap thereof, who when
ever he discovered the aforesaid WOO
cr, exclaimed to his daughter, "There
is that loafer [loverl Of yours, the
idle, good-for nothing" etc. And
from that ebuiition Of parental wrath
was born the American word, loafer,
meaning an idle man, hanging about
and enduring rest in an uncomplain-
ing and contcntcd manner.-C@cdgo

When q number of men combine
for the purpose of specializing upon
the necessities of life, it always af-
fords much pleasure when they are
foiled, and their plottings recoil up
on their own heads. Hence the fail
ure of those parties in Chicago, who
attempted by their wealth, to get up
a corner" on grain, is a welcome
piece Of news to everybody but them
selves. We read that they bought
up all the grain they could lay hold
Of, not only in their immediate sec
ton, butin all the neighboring States,
and collected it in Chicago, until
every storchousc and elevator in the
city was filed, to OVERLOOKING. This
they did for two reasons: to give
Chicago a fictitious reputation as a
great grain mart, and by forcing up
the price Of the material, to add to
their gains at the expense Of the con-
sumer. YET, Notwithstanding, the
price went down, and all they had
for their pains was a severe pecunia-
nv loss. When men thus use their
wealth to speculate upon the wants
ofthcir fellow creatures, the sooner
they are unfortunate and lose all
they possess, the better for humani-
ty.
