Bro. I. Il. Allen, gives the following ex-
celent advice to members of the order in
Missouri. Is it not also pertinent to the
order elsewhere
1.-The idea is, that the grange can wait
the grange is all right, and when this busy
time is over aud the political excitement is
past, we will look after the interests Of the
grange. But am fully satisfied that this
is mistaken view ofthe case. 1.-THE grange
is what it purports to be. is worthy anything
at all, it should not be neglected for any
thing else. In my view, it is just as im-
portant that the interests Of the grange
should be promptly looked after and attended
to, as the interests Of the farm.
Brain work is just as important to the
success of the farm, as work with the hands.
The grange is good place to do this brain
work. AS iron sharpeneth iron, so does
the countenance ola man that Of his friend
When the season has arrived for planting
or harvesting crop, the good farmer under
stands the importance of attending to that
duty at once. The case admits Of no un-
necessary delay. 1t will not do to wait
then. The farm and the grange must be
in harmony with each other. Both require
method, system, arrangement and economy.
There is no occasion for clashiug here. For
the grange system, regular times for meetings
are fixed and established. The arrangements
of the farm should be made to conform to
this, aud no business Of the farm, should be
permitted to interfere with it. Those who
attempt to perform their grange duties only
when it suits their convenience, have no true
appreciation Of the grange A few such
members in a grange is great disadvantage
to it, and il such are put into its important
offices, will very soon kill it, All true and
earnest Patrons should bear in mind that
very much depends upon whom they place
in tho important positions Of trust and re-
sponsibilty at the ensuing state grange, as ia
the success and perpetulty OF the order. A
mistake here may prove very serious, If moi
disastrous. trust that wise and prudent
couucils will prevail, and that the truest
and best will be placed in the front. l hope
there will be no candidates to be championed
or eectoneered for, but that the object o.
all will be to get the right men in the right
places, on the sound theory Of the order
that the office should seek the man, and
not the man the Office II the grange can
not carry out this doctrine, where can it b.
carried out The one who would seek OF
electioneer for an Office in the grange is no
worthy of it, Such an one not only VIC
lates one Of its fundamental principles, bu
} is trihiug with his obligations. and is, there
J fore, unworthy of confidence. Let the ain
be to find the men best adapted to the sew
. eral positions aud place them there without
any sort Of agency on their part, directly o
Q indirectly, To permit any other cours
would be- shame, a reprOach, aud disgraC
a to the order, that would probably ruin it.

MIssPENr EvENrNGs.--The boy who spends
an hour of each evening louuging idly on

famiiarize him with the rudimeuts Of almost
any Of the familiar sciences. II in addition
TO wasting an hour each evening he spends
ten cents for cigar, which is usually the
case, tho amount thus worse than wasted

Think Of how much time and money you are
wasting, and for what7 The qualification
afforded by the lounge on the corner or the

hurtful. You cannot indulge in them with

You may in after life shake them off, but
the probabilities are that tho habits thus
formed in early life will remain with you

in idleness is gone forever you will i'm
prove each passing one and thereby fit
yourself for usefulness aud happiness.
