Dancing parties have been formed in
fashionable London society, at which the
dancers sing their own dance music, gener-
ally to airs associated with nursery rhymes.
1t is cheap and healthful amusement, dis
pensing with fddlers, and exercising
mouths and legs at the same time, running
somewhat in this style:
Mary bad little lamb
(F"rwsrd and back
His fleece was white ~ snov;
Right and lefty
And everywhere that Mary went

(Sides right and left

Turn partners.)
Il maze the children laug and play
(Lsdies chain)

This manner of dancing bids fair to take
the place Of the German, and. unlike that
intricate amusement. it can be easily mas
tered By any young man who has been
raised pet, whether he parts his hair on
the side or not.

THE FARM AND THE GRANGE.

The farmers Of this state have labored
harder and moro continually the past sea-
son than any year since the war. The low
prices Of farm products, aud comparatively
high rates of farm labor have compelled
them to work unremittingy, and to practice
the most rigid economy to make the ends
meet. The season on the whole has been
favorable and more than an average crop
has been secured. A large amount of falls
work has now been done and the weather is
still favorable, and all that can be done to
help the springs work should be attended
TO by the wide awake farmer. With
all this work on their hands, it is
not strange that the meetings of the oranges
should be more thinly attended than in other
aud more favorable circumstances.
To show that the oranges have not all
been idle The Caledonia county Grange
Association, composed Of the oranges in the
northern part Of Caledonia county have
helu full ana interesting monthly meetings
with the different oranges which have been
occupied in discussions, reading of papers
and essays, and other exercises calculated to
Instruct and interest the members. The
Pomona or district grange, composed of most
of the oranges in Caledonia and Essex
counties, has held meetings nearly every
month in the year. At its last meeting ar.
rangemeuts were made for lectures and
other literary entertainments, with the sew
cral oranges which may wish, and we look
for greater interest in the grange work the
coming winter than in any previous year.
Those who had supposed the oranges were
either dead, or in profound sleep, will
learn that they are here to stay.

Complaining Farmers.

Is there ever period when the farmers
do not complain Of "hard times ?" Is there
any cause for this never-ceasing wall that is
always coming from the people who live by
tiling the SOIL or, has this class become consti.
tutional grumblers, railing at the measure
of their prosperity, be it what it may-small
or great.
The answer to this is doubtless found in
the fact that whether the times be good or
bad, as we term them, whenever COMPARE
son is instituted, it is always shown that the
gains are in favor Of the professional and
mercantile class, hence, the dissatisfaction
of farmers, not that they are making moth
ing, but that their accumulatious are rela-
lively so small.
They have an instructive belief that the
pay one receives and enjoys, should be some
where in the rata of the labor bestowed !;
but do they come forward like men and
make demand in accordance with this be.
lief and enforce it as they have the means to
do; or do they content themselves with a
seuseless muttering and scolding about the
hard times? Do they say, "my money
comes but slowly and | must make the most
of it by cooperating with my neighbOrS we
have all got to have goods aud we can by
buying together make large saving?" 90
the contrary, are not many Of the farmers
still indifferent and backward about endorsing
or in any way lending their aid or favor to
consummate any plan that originates among
themselves; are they not more apt to play
the sycophant to other classes and refuse all
support to their own.

Dead Weights in the Grange.

We hear great deal said about the grange
dying out, etc., when the fact is the order is
stronger to-day than ever. True, there are
quite number Of dead weights that have
been hanging to it that are dropping off
pretty fast of late, but the grange is only the
stronger for being rid Of them. Among
them are all those who joined the order for
political purposes, aud such as expected to
use the order for getting themselves ee-
waited to some Office for whicS the people had
heretofore considered them unfit. Many such
are either leaving voluntarily or are put out,
and, having failed to accomplish their ends,
of course, they cry failure. Another class
Of dead weights that are being got rid of,
are such as only joined the order for pccuni-
airy purposes who saw nothing in the grange
but the almighty dollar" These were too
stngy or too selfish to bring their wives or
their sons and daughters along They
thought that one Of a family, aud, in many
cases, one ola whole relationship, was enough
to belong to the order, and that ono could
act as kind of agent, and do all the pur-
chasing that was needed for the family and
their friends, and that was all that was
needed. These persons expected that they
wore once members Of the order all they had
to do was to call on some persOn-they hardly
knew who-and everything they needed
would be sent to them, il not for nothing at
least for the cost of production, that some
persons were so anxious to sell that they
would sell them goods at half price aud pay
freight besides just to accommodate the farm
ers, aud, of course, they soon found out their
mistake, aud have little interest in the order
and are dying off, Then there is another
class that are lat least in part dead weights !;
they are with US soul aud body, always ready
to pay their dues, etc., but they never can
get time to go to the grange meetings they
are so busy, so much to do, that they eau I
get out. They forget that there is a grange
social feast awaiting them at every meeting
of the grange. aud that they are wanted
there to help make it pleasant but their
redeeming quality is they will stick to the
order, and in cases of emergency they arc
always on hand. When once rid of these
dead weights, it will move on more rapidly
aud will accomplish much more for the farm
ers aud labOrers Of this broad land, So mote
il be. SMALL FARMER.

There is a class who cannot be restrained
from sacrificing themselves nor do they
ask any compensation for so doing but the
coveted privilege of whining about it and
proclaiming their lack of faith in everybody.
Instead of seeking how they may use the
means they have to the best advantage, they
stndy to save they heed no calls Of charity
nor invitations to invest anything according
to the teachings Of the Grange, but only give
themselves up to the work that is to make
them an inviting prey to the oily.tongue in
dividual who is going from place to place
looking for such victims; one into whose con-
fidence he may insinuate himself by introduc.
log some patent right or other Utopian
scheme by which his unsuspecting dupe is
going to get rich at once. The country fur.
nishes hundreds of cases where persons have
been victimized to greater or less extent,
even to the mortgagiug and losing farms
and homes, but as rule, the men who are
caught are not the ones to warmly espouse
any farmers ovemeut.-DirigO Rural.
