The true economy of human life looks
at ends rather than incidents, ana al.

values. De Qdincy pictures Il woman

Of sleep TO find her necklace united and
one end hanging over the stream, while
pearl after pearl drops from the string
beyond her reach while she clutches al

other by our carelcssneSS, like pearls
from a string, as we sail the sea OF lite.
Prudence requires wise outstanding OF
time To see that none of these golden
coins are spent for nothing. The waste
of time is more serious loss than the
extravaganccs against which there is
such loud acclaim.
There are thousands who do nothing
but lounge and carouse. from morn ing
till midnight-drones IN the human hive,
who consume and waste the honey that
honest workers wear themselves ,out
IN making, and insult the day by their
dissipation and debauch. There are ten
thousand idle, frivolous creatures who
do nothing but waste, and weare what
honest hands accumulate, and entice
others 10 live as worthless lives as they
do. Were every man and woman hon
est tUilers. all would have an abundance
of everything, and half of every day for
recreation and culture. The expondi.

WHAT HAS THE GRANGE
DONE?

In general, these nine things:
1t has saved money.
1t has formed bond Of union among
farmers.
1t has led the way to the formation
of various business organizations.
1t has broken up the isolations of the
farm, and made centers Of pleasant social
life.
1t has educated farmers to parliament
tary usages, and accustomed them to
speak and act in public affairs.
1t has melted thought on almost
every important subject in which far
mers are interested, civil, social, and
professional.
1t has made farmers more indepen-
dent in every way, and given them
higher notions of their own dignity and
worth as men.
1t has taught farmers, and not far
mers only, but all the people, particu-
the party politicians, the power there is
behind the plow.
1t has broken our social shackles, our
business shackles, and our political
shackles; helped farmers out of debt,
and taught them to stand by their
friends and disregard the party whip
Patrons Helper.

in our efforts toward reform, that we
may essentially remove from our midst
the last vestige OF tyranny and corrup-
ton.
We hail the general desire for frater-
nal harmony, equitable compromise,
and earnest cooperation, as an omen OF
our future success.
T.. 1t shall be an abiding principle
with us to relieve any OF our oppressed
and suffering brotherhood by any
means at our command.
Last, but not least, we proclaim 1t
among our purposes to inculcate pro-
per appreciation of the
ABILITIES AND SPHERE OF
WOMAN,
as is indicated by admitting herto men,
bership and position in our order.
Imploring the continued assistance OF
our Divine Master to guide us in our
work, we here pledge ourselves to faith
fully and tremendously labor for all
future time, to return by our united
efforts, to the wisdom, justice, fraterni-
ty, political purity of our forefathers.

WHAT THE GRANGE is.

There are but few men even in this
enlightened age who can say very
good thing in very few words. But
we have them, and they crop out among
the farmers as thickly as elsewhere,
Here is what one of them has written
to the New York Mercantile Journal:
"WARREN, Ill, March 25, 1876.
"Edifor Of the N. 7. Mercantile Jour
naI:-"The whole teaching of the
Grange movement is to economist and
get out of debt, Its faults are hardly
yet apparent. When it takes the whole
surplus yield of farm to pay ten per
cent. interest upon mortgage for one
third its value the dullest intellect per-
ceives something is wrong. If we can
not reduce usury we shall grin and bear
it until We extricate ourselves from
debt; meanwhile, we shall remain poor
customers to Eastern importers and
manufactures. Yours very truly,
"CHARLEs BOONE"
If other Patron can do better in
fewer words, he has the free use OF
these columns in which to express him
self.

GRANGE COURTS.

There is clause in the Grange con-
stitution that one member of the order
shall not go to law with another until
the question shall be submitted to the
members of the Grange court. We
trust this rule will be enforced in every
subordinate Grange. This clause dur
ing the year 1875, saved the Patrons of
Kentucky 100000 by preventing liti-
CATION. Every subordinate Grange
should have the members of the Grange
court elected, and it should be the duty
of that court to do all in their power to
prevent litigation among their members.
This clause has prevented neighbors
from going to law, kept them friends,
and been a blessing to them and their
families.-.Soulhern AsrtcuituriM

LONDON HAIR COLOR RESTORER.
LONDON HAIR COLOR REsToRER.

Not dye; makes harsh hair soft and
silky: cleanses the scalp from all impuri-
ties, causing the hair to grow where it
has fallen OFF or become thin.
Can be applied by the hand as 1t does
not stain the skin or soil the finest linen.
AS Hair Dressing it is the most perfect
the world has ever produced. The hair is
renovated and strengthened, and natural
color restored without the application Of
mineral substances.
Since the introduction of this truly
valuable preparation into this country, it
has been the wonder and admiration Of
all classes, and it has proved TO be the
only article that will absolutely without
deception, restore gray hair to its origin
al color, health, softness, lustre and bear-
ty, and produce hair on bald heads OF Its
original growth and color.
This beautiful and fragrantly perfumed
article is complete within itself,no wash
ing or preparation before or after its Use,
or accompaniment Of any kind being re-
nnira1 m ohtain these desirable results.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
June 10, 1876. !
PRESIDENTIAL

June III, 1910.
PRESIDENTIAL.
One secret of Republican success in the
past is through organization. They make
a business of it. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars are raised by assessments on Of
fice-holders, and Government clerks de-
tailed from the Departments for duty UNI
der Judge Edmunds, Secretary of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee. Ed
munds will get up in the middle of tho
night to attend to any matter in the inter-
est of his party. He Is warm friend of
Zach. Chandler, to whom he owes his
place here, ard is doing all he can to get
Chandler nominated at Cincinnati. Ed
munds is inst now engaged in coneocting
a scheme of some interest to the Demo-
cratic party. He has been, for some
weeks past, in secret communication with
certain persons here calling themselves
Democrats for the purpose of getting up
some sort of demonstration at st. Louis,
calculated to disturb the harmony of ac-
ton there. You will recollect that some
such demonstration followed the Balti-
more Convention i'm ~. The determine
ton expressed everywhere among Demo-
Gratis to sink sectional differences for this
campaign, rather than imperil success,
has alarmed the Republican leaders, and
Edmunds has undertaken to get up some
sort Of diversion. Of course it will be
miserable failure; but it is nevertheless
true that money in large sums has been
offered to persons protesting to be Demo-
Gratis, for this purpose. Unless promptly
exposed, something of the kind may be
attempted.
The real strength Of the various Demo-
cratic candidates is difficult to determine
from the statements of their respective
friends here. as each man is quite apt to
tell YOU what he hopes, instead of what he
knows. Tilden is the only candidate who
SHOWS strength. Most of the Democratic
Conventions, held so far, have favored
his nomination, and large proportion of
the Democratic and Independent press OF
the country is advocating it. AT least
five hundred more papers favor his NOM
nation now than did so eight weeks ago.
This shows that he is gaining very fast.
Still, those who oppose him claim that he
cannot possibly secure two-thirds vote.
However that may be, it is known that
Tilden represents the Administrative Re
form movement, and the opposition to
him, coming from the corrupt politicians
of his own State, has increased his
strength. The fact that he carried New
York State by majority larger by many
thousands than it ever gave any other
Democrat ought to settle the question OF
his popularity there at least.
