The Lottery Ticket.

James Lanning was mechanic, young,
honest man, whose highest ambition was to
gain comfortable home for himself and
wife, and to be thought well of by his neigh
bors. He had built himself house, and
there still remained upon it n mortgage of
$500; but this sum he hoped to pay IN very
few years, il he only had his health. He had
calculated exactly how long 1t would take
TO clear off this encumbrance, and he went
to work with eyes open.
One evening James came homo to his
supper more thoughtful than usual. His
young wife noticed his manner, and she in
quired its cause.
"What is it James?n she asked kindly.
"Why, / never saw you look so sober be-
fore"
wait I'll tell you, Hannah" replied the
young man, with n slight hesitation in his
manner; II have just been thinking that |
would buy lottery ticket"
Hannah tanning did not answer immed-
ately She looked down and smOsthed the
silken hair of her babe, which was chrping
like a little robin in her arms, and the
shades of her handsome features showed
that she WAS taking time to think.
'lIow much will it cost?" she asked ut
length. looking half timidly up to her hus-
bands face.
Twenty dollars" returned ames, trying
to assume confidence which he did not
feel
"And have you made up your mind to buy
itP"
"Well | think ! shall. VIII at do you
think about itP"
"Ifyou would take my advice, l should
say not buy it,"
"But why so?n
"For many reasons" returned the wife in
a trembling voice.
| She would not offend her husband, and
she shrank from giving him advice that he
might not follow.
"In the first place." she SAID 81 think the
whole scheme of lotteries is u bad one and
then you have no money to risk"
"But just look mt the prizes,n said James
drawing "scheme" from his pocket. Here
is one prize of $4,000 another of $4,000,
another of $4,000, and so on. Something
tells me if | buy ticket | shall draw a
large prize And then, just think, Hannah,
how easily could pay up for my house, and
perhaps have a good, handsome sum left"
The young man spoke with much earnest
ness and assurance; but he saw that there
was cloud upon his wiio's brow.
ut seems to me that the chance Of draw
ing prize is very doubtful" said Hannah
ms she took the scheme. "llere nre many
thousand tickets to be sold"
The babe tried hard to snatch the paper,
and Hannah laid ii aside,
IL think shall run the risk resumed
James, CHANGING once more over the paper

The Present Neglect of the officers of the
National Grange.

We have advocated IN these columns the
removal Of the national grange headquarters
from Washington to more central location,
naming st. Louis rs the most appropriate
place. There are many good reasons why
such removal should be made Tho order
with three fourlhs of its members in the West
has right to demand the location OF its
principal executive officers where they will
be enabled to meet the fullest requirements
of their positions, and where they will be
most accessible.
The circunlocutlon which pervades the
worry atmosphere of our national political
capitol, seems to have infected the national
grange headquarters. At no time since the
creation of the order has there been great
or opportunity presented to the national
grange to thoroughly establish itself in the
hearts of the people and to prove itself equal
to great emergencies, than has been offered
them in relieving the destitute Patrons OF the
West.
Week after week has passed, until months
have gone by, since the necessity of help oN-
listed on the frontiers of Kansas and Nebras-
hN' NllN Ntb NV iNSpbhoV llblll lllS OiiiNNio VI
the national grange.
The State and subordinate oranges of tn c
West have done nobly, while the national
grange, from lack of sympathy or interest in
the welfare of the extreme West, has failet
to give a satisfactory answer TO letters writ
ten upon this subject. The Patrons of the
West are not asking this assistance from the
national grange rs charity, but expect rs =
matter of justice that portion of the present
large fund of $40 900 invested in bonds bt
used to carry out the living, fundamental prin-
ciplcs of the order, which teach the noble
doctrine of helping Il brother in peril or sui
fering.
If the time now being given to working vi
additional degrees, the creation of fifth dc
gree oranges, and further useless forms ant
ceremonies with which to crush out the vital
| ity of the order, was given to developing til,
real live work Of the grange, We should no
be called upon to demand recognition o
right mt the hands of the officers of the ma
tional grange. We have no honeyed word,
of hattery for officers of any kind. If they d,
their duty we shall fairly recognize it, and il
they fail from Incompetence or negligence
we shall state it in plain english

Mountains.


love mountains for many reasons. There
is something grand and sublime about them.
At the same time, to me they are cold and
wear fOrbidding appearance. We may
gaze ut them from afar off and ndmiro their
grandeur and wonder ut their unchanging
sameness, but IN their towering majesty they
almost defy closer acquaintance. We may
begin in the valley Mt their feet and about
their base, and find sunshine warm, and
birds plenty, and flowers beautiful. In this
very humility is n calm, peaceful happiness,
but with this the thirsty, ambitious soul will
not be satisfied, but must scale the sleeps and
stand, If possible, on tho very summit. We
begin the ascent; leaving the beautiful,
warm, and peaceful valley, we soon come to
moro hardy plants and forest growth, and
cooler air. The way is steep. rough and
rugged, and the path tolsome. We fain
would rest in some coy nook or sheltered
vale, but we must not stop. We soon have
left the trees behind Us, the shubhery grows
more scattered and soon disappears. Now
and then some daring little lchen thrusts
itself upon our vision with sweet look of
sympathy and II genie rebukG for our anlbi-
tious, unsallied longing which has led us
here to its own realm. We struggle on, en-
countering many dangers, receiving many
bruises, yet needing them not, so thirsty,
eager and anxious are we yet to gain the
pinnacle of the highest peak.
So it is with us IN the mad race for wealth
or name or fame. We are anxious to stand
upon the summit of the mountain-unwill-
ing to stay in the valley. We are anxious to
wear the laurel wreath of fame" We for
get the sweet, quiet enjoyment of the lovely
valley, OF sigh for it when toiIing up the
sleeps after it has been passed. We are
from our cmiuencc allowed to look out over
n broad and beautiful landscape, see what
others have and are enjoying, realize our
| own chIllness and isolation, and the laurel
wreath already won, whether of wealth or
fame, may press our aching brow We sigh
for rest and happiness and peace, and for
the warmth and happiness OF birds and flow
ers of the quiet, beautiful valley ut the foot
of the mountain that we left for the higher
alpine regions urged on by ambition. We
then realize what II drear, desoate and
cheerloss possession we have chosen, how
unsatislyng it all is, and contrast it with the
happiness we might have had in the valley of
content
No; give me the laughing, sunny, joyous
valleys that are filled with plenty and beau
| ty; that speak of the goodness and love oil
God, to which the heart beats "A happy re-
Spouse, rather than the grand, cold majesty
of the mountain in all its sublimity, strength
| and awe. ALLIE.

FAR APART.

Beneath the quaint old bridge you hear
The waves mako music as they pass
And, winding to the elm-tieo near,
You SEQ the pathway through tho grass,
Where we were wont to walk, alas
The river wanders as Of old
Beneath the shade Of willow.trees
The sunlit waters CLEAN like gold,
And ripple to the gentle breeze;
But am far from thee and these
The sky bends over broad and blue,
And, in tho soft and mellow light,
You tread the lane our footsteps knew
In former days, when days we're bright;
DO these days bring such sweet delight
And still that lane with grass is green,
With fragrant flowers the banks are fair
In golden gloss and silver sheen,
The bees still haunt the balmy air
But you will fail to find me there.
Again perchance, may not see
The rustling rows Of willow troes.
(Which LEFT leafy canopy
When we strolled underneath at ease
For am far from thee and these
Our joys forsake us. Soon does spring
Pass by and for tho summer call
Soon do the birds loose heart to sing,
When fading leaves in autumn fhll;
And winter is the end of all.
