The Maine State Press has the following
kind words about our order, as it see its
workings in that state
care grange organizations Of any use to
agricultural communities That is ques-
ton which the correspondents Of the Maine
Farmer are discussing, and as there are al
ready one hundred and seventy oranges es-
tabished in our state, with a membership of
seven thousand, it is somewhat importa mt
one. There is to be said for the organiza-
tion-no bad results have risen from it. We
cannot see why anybody need become an
xious about these local organizations so long
as they adhere to their principles On the
other hand, we can sec how very salutary
work for farming in Maine can be DONE
For years the interest of young men reared
on the farms in our state has been declining.
They hava largely come to think that there
is nothing in the vocation for them, and they
flock to the cities, tho manufacturing villa
ges and the west, leaving Maine farms to de-
cay. The few men who have intelligently
taken hold of agriculture in Maine have
made money, and have also fairly demonstra-
ted that in no department of industry will
brains pay better than when used by farm
ers 1t is fair to assume that one hundred
and seventy associations, composed Of farm
ing people, cannot meet once a week or
month without creating an interest which
will lead hundreds of young men aud women
in the state to look with greater favor upon
mans first occupation. 1t cannot be other
wise. In view OF this, we think that the ex-
tension of the organization may be witnessed
without great amount of solicitude. In-
deed, from what we can see Of the granger
outside of his lodge room, we think he may
be encouraged to multiply"

provided to an extent that will enable them
to purchase TO advantage, and avail them
selves Of the privileges that ready money
always affords The fund, too, on which
they must draw for social benefits, is but
n fund of common effort. The social func-
tons OF grange will certainly be very weak
IL the attendance is irregular and small if
the members do not have sufficient interest
to attend the meetings not much can be hoped
for from the social feature indeed, there
will be no social feature il the members stay
away. Upon the educational feature de-
ponds all else success in this respect as
sures success financially and socially aud in
every other respect, but this feature can
never be developed if members refuse to sup
ply themselves with proper books and other
means for cultivating this all important
feature.
One of the offices Of the grange as an ed
ucator, is to inculcate a spirit of benevolence
"A charity for the bodily needs Of others
Just as deserving as ourselves, perhaps, but
less fortunate. 1t is not often that Patrons
are called upon for contributions for any
purpose Of charity hardly often enough
perhaps, to keep them toned in this respect
Benevoonce, like the faculties, depends upon
exercise for its growth; and upon this
growth is the character dependent for
its symmetry and perfect proportions.
Hence it would follow that it is just as nee
essary to give as to reoeive--with due
judgment and care, Of course.
We have no doubt many grangers from
habit and disposition, will at first be inclined
to treat calls as of no concern to them,
and then and there let the matter drop
while if they but give the subject a moments
sincere consideration, they will deem it O
privilege to bestow a triae upon those de-
serving of their sympathy and assistance
those who have health and strength will
doubtless many of them show their apprecia
ton Of those blessings by giving something
for the relief Of their unfortunate brothers
We trust this subject will receive the care
full consideration of every grange into which
it comes, and that this all calls will
be so treated by the grange as to in
crease its own sef-respoct aud esteem O.

The Higher Ann.

Wealth is not to be dCspised when Justly
or honorably obtained yet that alone con.
tributes little to human happiness. True
moral worth, love OF the truth, the right the
lust a cultivated taste for the beautiful in
nature and art; strong and well cultivated
intellectual powers; varied and extensive
knowledge, and the true wisdom to use it,
makes the sum Of the highest human hap
piness.
This was the grand fundamental idea of
the founders of the grange. They very well
knew that success 10 this secured all desira-
bic results This was the noble Foundation
they wisely laid. 1t is for us to wisely
build thereon, if we expect the grandest re-
suits from the grange. | am not TO be un-
derstood as lightly estimating material or f.
naucial results, nor of throwing obstacles in
the way of securing them. just the con-
trary, but let US not become 80 absorbed in
this as to lose sight of the chief good
Be assured friends, that a proper attention to
tho neral, social and intellectual features Of
the grange idea will secure all the rest as n
natural and legitimate result. But if we
lose of, or neglect to properly cultivate and
develop these, all is lost we shall at last
fail, and most disastrous failure it will be.
Devoted to the business feature of our order
| alone, we should soon be eaten up by sordid
selfshuess, aud instead of being character
lied by that broad liberal charity, so nee
essary to our happiness, and usefulness to
others, we should be in danger Of becoming
one of the greatest Of the mOnopoliOs.
But if we keep this business feature in
true subordination to the sublime features Of
our order, future generations will bless our
memory, aud future historians will record
our virtues in prose and verse, to be read by
our posterity to the latest generations of the
earth.
We are making progress. Grand results
have been achieved morally socially, edu'
cationaly and materially, far beyond the
power Of description, or even human imagl'
nation in many respects. Many of the
slothlul do not know this. That does moi
alter the facts Even those GROWERS, who
have been trilng with their solemn pledges
voluntarily given, are to-day enjoying ben

They are inexcusably ignorant. They nigh

THE FARM AND THE GRANGE.
Grange Arbitration.


The Vermont state grange at its annual
session of 1873 resolved unanimously that
the state grange would earnestly recommend
the subordinate oranges Of the state to use
their influence to settle all differences that
may arise among their members, by the Sc.
lection Of three or more disinterested mem.
bers Of their grange, whose decision in the
matter shall be final.
Said resolution was copied approvingly
into many of the papers of this and other
states and has been adopted by most of the
state oranges in the Union. 1t has been

the farmers in lawyers and court fees and

The evil Of going to the county court with
petty, trihing suits has become so great in

more than $50 or S25.
The warmest thanks of all good citizens
should be rendered to the executive of the
Green Mountain state for the noble stand he
has taken to suppress useless litigation, aud
the state oranges should feel highly honored
in that the governor has embodied in his
recommendation, one Of the cardinal doc.
