The following from the Patrons Pocket
Conpanios will be of interest to members
whose Oranges has forfeited their charter:
In case of the forfeiture OF suspension Of
the charter of a grange, the members there
of become thereby unaffiliated, and can
ioin any other grange, (the same as though
they had become unaffiiiated by de1nit OF
voluntary withdrawaD in the following man
ner. The Grange being extinct, can of
course issue no demit to its surviving mem
bers. The members will therefore pay into
the Treasury of the State Grange the
amount due by each to the subordinate, at
the time of its suspension, ifany. The Sec
rotary of the State Grange will then issue to
each member a certificate of the fact that
their Grange has ceased to exist, that the
members was in good standing at the time
of its suspension, and was either clear of the
books or has since paid his arrearages to the
State Grange. This certificate should be de-
posted with the application, in the place Of
of a demit, with the grange which the hold
er desires to join.
Bur for the few grange and agricultural
journals, the people atlarge would not know
that the National Grange had been in SEES
sion. The political press as a general thing,
gave no attention whatever to the proceed
ings. This fact ought to arouse the farm
es to the great Importance of enlarging and
extending the circulation Of those paperers
that are especially devoted to their cause.
Build up your press, patrons, and it will not
only keep you posted as to the movements
of your representative bodies, but will be a

your cause and bestow it upon those that

THE SAD STORY OF BLOBBS AND
HIS PULLET.

In tiny country villa lived our Blobbs but all alone;
Never wife or chubby children this staid bachelor
had known.
Yet-for hearts must cling tosomething- had made
himself pet
of little snow-whte pullet with her wings just tip
ped with jet.
Daily feeding and carassing, these had won the pull
let's heart
Following close her masters footsteps seldom they
were far apart;
And his love grew deeper stronger with the passing
ofeach day
Wiser far than any woman" wicked Blobbs was
wont to say.
Near by rose wondrous structure-architects their
brains had racked-
Cross between Chinese temple and cruet-stand, in
fact.
This the pretty pulers dwelling; here she hastened
every night,
Perched on high, became rooster till the dawning of
the light.
One sad day Yankee peddler, glib persuading pass
ing by,
Ga2ed at Blobbs and that poor pullet with cacula
ting eye.
From his wagons deep recesses drew out smiling
wickedly,
"Johnsons Patent Hen -Persuader" then to guileess
Bobbs said he:
Heres marvellous invention In this box your seea

Then behold! this sliding bottom let the eggs drop

This sufices, Blobbs unwary by his specious tongue

Locked them both within the hen-house ere he went
to town that morn.
Business then engrossed him fully, TILL with nurrous
cares beset,
Who can wonder that the pullet and her nest he
should forget?
Nothing all day to remind him but returning late at
night
Flashed sudden recollection, and his cheeks grew
pale with fright.
Rushing madly from the station straight he sought

A HAPPY WOMAN'S FANCY,

She walked in the sunsets warning light.
Her face with unconscious gladness bright:
She walked where roses bloomed in their bed
The clouds in the sunset sky were red
AS the roses were, and floated slow
Like the roses petals to and fro
IN the summer air. and rose and fell
Like the petals on each winds soft swell.
She gazed at the glory overhead
And stopped and gathered rose full red
To keep" she said, "when summer is done
gathered them daily, one by one.
In SILK and linen, in drawer and chest.
lay them away in fragrant rest,
And the days on which their bloom was shed
gathered and lay away, not dead,
AS the roses are, but sown to rise
Like souls of the saints that die. to skies
"here they at last in a heavenly place
shall dwell, transfigured and face to facen
And speaking thus, she smiled as she went
through the garden paths The roses bent.
shedding their petals in r~sy crowds.
Like petals of day, the rosy clouds
Went floating off in the twilight free.
But bore the picture away with me
A woman fair in the summer weather.
A day and rose gathered together,
And heart so glad that it could see
IN all things Loves immortality.

A Chapter on Pockets.

Although touching silence has hitherto
reigned on the subject of the great loss
the loss of the pocket as a part of the
feminine wardrobe-I think it has been
none the less felt by the deprived COM
munity. Dame Fashion is the cause of
this woe. Pinned-back overskirts were her
pleasure, and as the pocket gave a bunchi-
ness to the contour it must 90, nothing
could save it. We have been long hoping
Tor mercy in this respect, but she shows no
signs OF relenting, and so there is no pros
pect that order and peace and delight shall
De restored to the households of our land.
In its place, trying to "gild destruction
with smile" she allows a long fanciful
affair, concocted of ribbons and silk and
lace, to be worn on the outside of the skirt,
dainty receptacle for the handkerchief
out otherwise useless. On full dress occa-
SONS it is sometimes filled with flowers,
with charming effect, however, and when
gracefully made and gracefully worn is a
c0quettish and pretty addition to the
toilet.
THE oLD-FAsHIoN POCKET.
But its prettiness can never fill the
aching void left by the honest, substantial,
alEsustained, old time article, with its exten.
nye capacities and serviceableness, its
laculty for hiding secrets, for joyous reve-
htlons and happy surprises. Now, when
anything is lost in well-regulated house
holds hope dies within the soul. The
Mistress has no pocket which is sure to
contain the missing treasures. Once, o
blessed timeI she did possess one, and its
dark depths were sure refuge in distress.
TWAS an epitome of all there was in the
Dark closet, in the store room, in the
drawers up stairs, in the work basket, or
even the pantry. If paterfamilias had lost
aoutton off his coat there was no need of
searching the house through when the
anxious moment when it must be sewed on
came. You explored its roomy depths
without single doubt, and there it was
calmly reposing by the side of the missing
0fnament on Sara's sack, or slyly tucked
into thimble. If Johnnie, in the dreary
apeetation of being late at school, sud-
aenly remembered that he had snapped
MS boot buttoner for two marbles and
aal a stick of candy, it flashed upon him
