Advantages of the Grange.

Editor Rural Carolinian In 1875,
Sandy Springs Grange, No. 242, de-
termined to make an effort to concentrate
their orders as far as possible in the pur-
chase of Guano and Acid Phosphate.
They sent one of their members to
Charleston to negotiate terms and make
the purchases, and his mission was entire
ly successful and satisfactory to all con-
cerned, and resulted in saving to the
Grange and community of several hum
dred dollars.
Elated at our success, but not content
with this partial victory, we determined
to concentrate our orders more largely
through the Pomona Grange during the
purchasing season of the present year.
In February last, this Grange unani-
mously agreed to send member of the
Order to Charleston to represent the in
terests of Patrons throughout the County.
This mission was also so eminently sue
cessful, that we are proud to assure our
brother Patrons, that we believe we have
purchased the best fertilizer on the mar
ket at the very lowest possible price,
much lower than has heretofore been
offered. We feel warranted in saying,
that by this bulking the orders of single
County, and becoming wholesale pur-
chasers, we have saved to the County
over 81, 900, which is left here to save us
from the destructive policy of giving
liens in 1877, and to assist in liquidating
the debts of the County.
The question arises, if one County can
do this, suppose two, three, or more
Counties should unite next season, why
should the results not be still more salts
factory? for the larger the order, the
greater the concessions.
Besides, if this plan be pursued, how
long will it take us to prove that we mean
to put the farmer upon cash basis? As
soon as this is accomplished, how much
more smoothly and prosperously will all
things work.
We know it is said that finance is
knotty question, and should not be dis
cussed or handled by the farmers. This
has been the idea for time beyond
memory.
Well, it is now time these thoughts
should change, and this grand centennial
year can be no more proitably celebrated
by the farmers, than by making an
united effort to prove to the world, "and
to the rest of mankind" that we can,
and in the future intend to, manage own
affairs. We would not propose that this
be done to the detriment of others, but so
decidedly to the benefit of the farmer,
that all others can but feel the benefit of
it.
True we may make blunders, and fall
very far short of our aim, but we must
know that all men are liable to these,
and we must only make the effort. We
need not think always to be successful in
every effort of life. If we do, disappoint-
ment is sure to overtake US. But because
we may fail, is no reason we should be
deferred from trying. If all the world
were a plain, no gullies nor hills, we
would not appreciate life. Buffetting
and persecution keep us alive and full of
patriotism. Then, in the midst of our
trials, let US begin to prepare thought
fully for the next season.

A BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-The sea is
the largest of all cemeteries, and its slum-
berers sleep without monument: All other
grave yards. in other lands show some
distinction between the great and the
small, the rich and the poor, but in the
great ocean cemetery the king and clown,
prince and peasant are alike undistin-
guished. The same waves roll over all /;
the same requiem by the minstrel of the
ocean is sung to their honor. Over their
remains the same storms beat, and the
same sun shines, and there, unmarked,
the weak and the powerful; the plumed
and unhonored, will sleep on until
awakened by the same trump.

ROCKING THE CRADLE.-The Phila-
delphia Ledger says: "The mother that
rocks and sings her baby to sleep is un-
consciously illustrating scientific prin-
ciple. The heart and the system of cir
culation are thought never to rest. But
science shows that under usual and fair
conditions their rest is perpetual. In
other words. by their rhythmic or meas
ured motion in health, the organs of cir
culation rest between each pulse-that is
to say, eight hours out of the twenty. four /;
as has been calculated by computing the
pauses between the beats of the pulse
The monotonous rhythm of a simple era
die song, and the gentle motion of the
rocking.chair or cradle are in harmony
with the rhythm of the heart, and, the
brain being disengaged, sleep follows
The brain may be said to be part of the
animal economy which sleeps entirely.
During healthy sleep the brain is to a
great degree bloodless, and this is shown
Indirectly by the greater circulation of
the blood in the skin and extremities
during sleep. Healthy digestion, after
fairly full but not excessive meal, pro-
notes sleep, by calling off the blood from
the brain to the stomach. A curious but
familiar illustration of the accord between
the heart movements and external meas
ured sound or motions, is shown when
the nurse stops 'humming' and the trou-
blesome baby wakes straight up and pro-
yokingly opens its staring eyes. The
concert is interrupted and the sleepy
accord of the heart with the successive
cadences of the lullaby is broken. This
is why the cessation of usual sounds will
wake an adult sleeper. 1t is even stated
that soldiers who have fallen asleep
during cannonade have wakened when
the noise suddenly ceased"

- Somebody wrote to the editor of
country paper to ask how he would
"break an OK" The editor answered as
follows: eff only one OK, good way
would be to hoist him by means Of chain
attached to his tail to the top of a pole
forty feet from the ground. Then hoist
him by rope tied to his horns to another
pole. Then descend on his back five
ton pile-driver, and if that don't break
him, let him start a country newspaper
and trust people for subscriptions. One
of the two ways will do it sure"

had sworn to be a bachelor, she had sworn to

For we both agreed in doubling whether mat

Besides, had my higher aims-for science
filled my heart,
And she said her young affections were all
So we laughed at those wise men who say that

'Twixt man and woman, unless each has some
thing else TO give.
We would be friends as true as e'er were man
and man
I'd be a second David, and she Miss Jonathan.
We liked each other, that was all, and quite
enough TO say;
SO we just shook hands upon 1t In a business
sort of way.
We shared our sorrows and our joys; together
hoped and feared;
With common purpose sought the goal Wnlcn
young ambition reared:
We dreamed together OF the days, the dream
bright days TO come;
We were strictly confidential and called each
And many a day we wandered together DER
the hills
! seeking bugs and butterflies, END she the
ruined mills
And rustic bridges and the like, which picture
makers prize,
To run in with their waterfalls and groves and
sunny skies:
And many quiet evening, in hours Of full re-
lease,
We fioated down the river, or Ioafed beneath
the trees,
And talked in long graduation, from the poets
TO the weather,
While the summer skies and my cigar burned
slowly out together.
But through 1t all no whispered word, or tell
tale look or sigh,
Told aught of warmer sentiment than friendly
sympathyi

And thought no more of being one than we
did of being three.
swell good. bye, old fellow"-I took her hand,
for the time had come to go
My going meant our parting, when to meet we
did not know;
had fingered long, and said farewell with a
very heavy heart,
For though we were but friends, you know,
tits hard for friends to part.
swell, goodbye, old fellow; don't forget your
friends across the sea,
And some day, when you've lots of time, just
drop a line to me-"
The words came lightly, gayly, but great sob
Just behind
Rose upward with a story Of quite different
kind.
And then she raised her eyes to mine, great
liquid eyes of blue,
Full 10 the brim and running Ger, like vio-
let-cup with dew
One long, long look, and then L did what
never did before:
Perhaps the tear meant friendship, but
think the kiss meant more.
