AMONG the many important measures TAX
en- under consideration by the Missouri State
Grange, at its annual session held on Dec.
u, 1875, was that Of the lecture system.
Their action was such as will entitle every
subordinate grange in that State to one Or
more visits from the Lecture during the
year.
The good that will result from this will be
of great value to the oranges. Such a sys-
TEN is just what is needed in Montana, and
we hope it will be adopted at the next meet
ing of our Territorial Grange.

EDUCATION IN THE GRANGE.

Speaking in very general terms, the bene-
fits to be derived from the organizations OF
Patrons of Husbandry have been declared to
he three-fold-social, educational and eco
nomical.
The work of the Grange cannot be said at
this early day, to be very well organized for
the accomplishment of the greatest good in
respect to either Of these three objects. Still
as to social advantages the benefits received
in many ways are obvious to all. For the
accomplishment of economical benefits the
greatest energies of the Order are at the
present time being directed, with practical
results of the most promising and cheering,
character.
In education much is already being done.
The ordinary work of the Order, the formal
work, the business routine, and incidental
discussions all tend to educate; while in
many Oranges libraries are being estab-
lished. essays are read, addresses delivered,
and discussions had upon practical topics,
relating to the farmers work and that of his
household.
But it is in reference to q proposed sys-
tematic educational work in the Grange. IN
the nature of Grange schools, embracing
methodical course of instruction, that / now
call your attention. mean the adoption OF
courses of reading and instruction which
shall bring into active study the younger
members of the Grange, II the more
studious of older years; all those who shall
have the ambition and desire to make them
selves masters Of practical agriculture; and
in some measure at least Of scientific agri-
culture.
The farmers winter days and winter
evenings afford opportunity for reading ant
mental labor. If prompted to pursue
methodical studies by aid of lectures, the
guidance of instructors and the intercours'
of companionship, study would find attlae
tons and helps which would dispel monot
ony and cause SUCH work to go Oh with yes
aud enjoyment.-Ev.

The Man WHO Gave Odds.

After a strange man had finished cat
ing a hearty meal at one of the stands in
the City Hall market yesterday, he re
marked to the woman:
''As | was sitting down to this meal |
said to myself that I'd bet 81 against the
dinner that the greenback candidates
would not carry single State. If they
do you have won the 81 and shall have
it."
Il want 50 cents of you" She replied,
pulling off her comforter.
cor I'll bet you So against the meal
that the Democrats carry New York
State" he continued.
want my pay or there'll be trouble
right here" she exclaimed, slipping off
her bonnet.
cor III bet the same sum, on the same
terms, that the Republicans will carry it."
he remarked, as he wiped eff his sandy
goatee.
81 never bet, and | want my pay -
she called out, being now already for
action.
"Great heavens but look at the odds
l offer you?" he gasped. 81 not only
let you bet on either side, but | offer you
the most fearful odds that have ever
been given stree the advent of the Chris
tian era !"
Il can't help the odds" she answered,
as she got hold of his coat tails "You
don't leave here till get my money
cor I'll bet you SO against this 80
cent debt" he went on, that neither
Hays nor Tilden will be elected. One
of them must be, but | offer to bet they
won't be, simply to permit you to coin
$50 out of my hard earnings. Great
Jigs! but such another offer was never
known since Oliver Cromwell kept a
fighting dog"
"Thirty-fve cents :" she shrieked, pull
ing him around.
Last, but not least, I'll bet you forty
to one that | haven't had 80 cents about
me for month. Come, now, offer you
every chance to win"
She gave him two solid kicks, and was
designing and drafting third, when he
made bolt and left coat-tail in her
grasp. While an officer was looking for
him around the market, he was placidly
surveying the Soldiers Monument and
picking his teeth with straw.-Ex

Pocket Money! Word for the
Girls.

Young ladies, as rule, suffer a grea
deal from the want eft pocket money
/ Young men send in their bills to THEN
/ fathers, aud have generally a sum
wholly independent of necessary expense
to spend as they please, while their sis.
/ tiers have usually only an allowance for
dress. In ordinary cases, and particu-
larry where there are many girls of one
family, this allowance is not one calcu-
lated to show any margin when the mil
liners bill is paid. A distinguished lady
novelist lately spoke with regret Of the
ignorant young women who dabble in
literature merely for the chance of earn
ing little money. She perhaps for a
moment forgot of how much Importance
that little money may be TO person who
finds it almost impossible to make her
income cover her inevitable expenses.
Girls are often subjected TO painful hui
Mutations when staying at friends
houses merely on account of this dearth
of pocket money They are perhaps
forced to allow gentlemen with whom
they are on y slightly acquainted to pay
their little incidental expenses, such as
an admission to a picture gallery or
fowershow. They cannot make the
usual presents to servants. They lose,
moreover, that nice sensitiveness in mon
ey matters which ought to be most care
fully nurtured, and which of late seems
to have gone out of fashion
1t is cruel and wicked of parents to
permit their children to be placed in cir
cumstapces where they are tempted to
put themselves under obligations TO peo-
pie from whom they have no right to re
ceive them. A girl, out of ignorance
and impecuniosity, may sometimes find
herself placed in an equivocal position
from which she does not feel able to get
free; and cruel embarrassment may be
caused because she had not a little money
in her purse when she absolutely wanted
it.
AS rule, married woman is not
much better off than her unmarried sis
ter in the matter of pocket money, if she
mas not brought her husband any for
tune, and it she is unhappily burdened
with a conscience. She finds herself in
possession of house-money and dress
money, and, being probably inexperi
enced in management, she finds it hard
enough to keep within her allowances.
She lever feels as if she could call any
money her own, and is thus deprived Of
many small pleasures, and even neces-
saries, which her husband would never
dream Of refusing to himself.

There was a wild gorge in the arabian
hills where the chain drew near the
shore. As we approached it | saw that
it was flooded with mellow light. Soft
breezes bore US slowly against the river
current, and we noiselessly approached
the mouth of the gorge. Oh . vale of
wild enchantment Fantastic crags
leaped into the air and hung suspended
by some mighty magic. Between the
golden walls in the bed Of the valley,
grove of palms rustled their plumes in
the delicious air, and just above these
palms rose the splendid moon. Every
leaf was lustrous IL its light; every rock
sparkled family, and out Of the mouth
of the valley poured deluge Of light in
which We were all crowned with glory
and TRANSPORTED. Our barge was silver,
our sails Of softest silk, and bright flames
PLAYED upon the waters under US. 1t

was a great bend in the river, beyond the

A Remarkable Frog story.

The Toronto Globe says a remarkable
incident occurred at Brown IL Halls
sawmill, in Acton, while pine log was
being sawed up into lumber. The out
side slab and one board had been cut off,
and while the workmen were turning
over the log they we're surprised TO see
large toad poke his head out of a hole in
which he was imbedded, and where he
had barely escaped being cut up by the
saw. How the stranger got there was
mystery, as he was completely encased
in the wood, with no possible means Of
ingress or egress. As the log was the
fourth or fifth from the butt Of the tree,
his position must have been at least fifty
or sixty feet from the ground, and he had
no doubt grown up with it from infancy,
being probably hundreds Of years old.
The animal was quite fiat, and nearly as
large as a mans hand. He was perfect
ly blind, but when taken from his bed
he made use of his limbs to crawl away.
The tree was perfectly sound, with the
exception of decayed spot of about a
foot in length below the hollow place
which he was imbedded How did he
get there, and what did he live onY

Two bellies of this city lately came

and had made many purchases before
they knew it, they had spent all their
money, and what was worse had lost their
return excursion tickets. They had no
friends in Philadelphia, and no time to
write to Reading. They, therefore, re
solved to make raise, so they skipped
away into barbershop and struck a

short time they were nicely shorn, and
thus they were able to get back to their
