hleness is the prolific parent Of vice,
Whilst this is true as all must confess,
idlcness 1sthe crime, particularly Of these
times and Of this country. Hundreds are
unemployed, and without money, withou.
prospect 81 food and raiment. The rigors
Of winter are approaching. In the cold
and dreary winter when labor is in less
demand than now, If charity refuses to
open her hands to them, they must live
by dishonest means. The number of des-
titute, in the immediate county is much
greater than any one would suppose who
has not taken the trouble 20 inform him

There are two classes Of idle persons.
The first, small it is true, are. those who
can not help their condition /; the second,
the large class, those who can. The first
deserves pity the latter the .corn Of all
men. To the honest, industrious, unem-
ployed mechanic, artisan, professional and
common laborer there is some cheer,
even if the outlook be gloomy. No man
ever earnestly sought work that did not
find at least partial engagements Of his
time. He who is firmly resolved to do
something, even il it be disagreeable aud
irksome, rather than be idle, will
.'chance" upon some job that will keep
him from starving and freezing. The
compensation, he may think, too small,
yet he willingly takes it rather than
nothing. II will tide him over the dull
period and save him the modification Of
Icing dependent upon others Ambition
and energy will win against any human
intervention. The man who acts on the
principle that o half or a quarter Of a
loafis better than none. will not have to
wait long for employment, and in the
long run will. achieve indepen lencs and
prosperity.
To those who idle away their time, be
they socially reputable, or disreputablc,
because they are too laEy to work or the
rewards Of labor too small, We say Get
cut of the way for men Of brave hearts,
stout arms and willing hands. Go where
civilization and society will not be en-
numbered with your presence. Ycu are

will not emulate anil whose tolls you will

and waited to get hiswork in, in the
meantime the other brother went to the

it, but the accommodating young man re-

Might in the Moon

A writer IN the British Quarterly
indulges in a glowing description Of
the appearance of our earth to an iu-
habitant Of the moon; but according
to the inculcations of science the
" man in the moon" is creature Of
The Imagination, we cannot conceive
how it would be possible for a human
being TO exist without air or water.
lie says:
At last, however, night sets in.
Gradually it comes after the sun has
gathered up his shifting beams, and
gone down TO his rest. All at once
we are plunged into comparative Oh
scurity, for again there Is no twiligh,
10 stay the steps of the departing day.
But, looking up into the sky, We be-
hold vast orb, which pours down q
mildcr and more beucfcient splendor
than the great lord Of the system. 1t
l. such a moon as we terTcstriaIs can
not boast for it is not less than thlr-
teen times as large and luminous as
our own. There it hangs in the fir
mament without apparent change Of
place, as if "fixed IN It's everlasting
seat" But not without change OF sur
face. For this great globe is paint
ed panorama, and, turning round ma
jestically on its axis, presents its
oceans, and continents in grand success
sion. As Europe and Africa, locking
the Mediterranean in their embrace,
roll away to the right, the stormy At
lautic offers It's waters TO view. and
then the two Americas, with their
huge forests and vast prairieS, pass
under inspection. Then the grand
basin of the Pacific, lii up with island
fires, meets the gazer's eve, and rs
this gides over the scene, the eastern
rim of Asia and the upper portion Of
Australia sail into sight. The Indian
Ocean, and afterwards the Arabian
Sea. spread themselves ont in their
subdued splendor and thus, in four.
and-twenty hours, " the great rotun-
dity we tread" turns It's pictured
countenance to the moon and graudly
repays the listening lunarians by re-
peatIng, TO the best of its ability, the
story Of its birth. Nor is the sky less
marvellous il another respect. For
the absence Of any atmospheric diiiu,
sion of light permits the consultations
10 shine out with a distinctuess which
Is never parallelled on earth. They
glitter like diamond points set in a fir
mament Of ebony. Stars and clusters
which we never see by the naked eve

EfenlS for Farmers.

From the Farmers Friend, the or
gan of the Grangers, We get the fol-
lowing, as to the objects OF the Order ;
oRJEcr OF TuR GRANGE
Ist. The association of the farmers,
and all men directly interested IN ag-
riculture, into an organization lot mu.
tual protection from all manner OF
swindliDg.
ID. For the cultivation of moral,
social and industrial habits of the peo-
pie; also educational advancement in
literature, agriculture and christianity.
81. The dispensing with a great
swarm of impositions practised on us
as laboring men by agents, sub-agents,
double sub-agents and patent-right
men, and all other men who are con-
tinually running over our country
swindling US out Of our money.
4th. To teach the farming people
more of the science of farming, IN or
| der that we may raise more grain on
one acre of ground more grass on the
same ground; more pounds OF pork
and beef with less expense TO M
prove the stock of the farm generally;
and TO take every advantage OF our
! business. We are all aware that
nine-teaths of the farmers have no
system by which 10 do anything, and
consequently do everything by main
strength and awkwardness the result
is balf a crop cf grain, runty stock,
bad FENCES, and old dillapidated
houses, 10 good out buildings, and the
owner ovarrun with debt. My un.
derstandipg OF the Grange movement
/ is to eradicate all these diliicute ,
and teach the farmers more about
how to work their affairs to make
their business self sustaining
9th. We not only propose to teach
the foregoing principles, but also 10
teach how to spend less and econo-
mize expenses more, that We may live
and keep our families cheaper and
better, with better health. | believe
the general teaching Of the Grange
movement will have a tendency 10
produce more mild and generous

standing Armies.

Five million men are under arms IN
Europe. These five millions include
the very flower Of the population,
those least liable TO death under the
natural and normal conditions Of life ;
and it is proved, proved beyond doubt
bv army physicians, that in the mill
tary hospitals, as, for instance in that
Of the Val lie Grace in Paris, that the
mortality Of soldiers is double and
treble that Of the remainder of the
porGlariou in civil lite. How much
valuable labor does this system take
away from the workshop, the hearth
and the family? Aud during this
time what becomes Of the 1900, 900
women who ought TO be companions
of these men; and Of the families
which should be the fruit OF their
marriages?
When throughout the surface OF
