The farm and the Orange

We WISH TO SAY word about our grange
department Believing that the grange has
come to Vermont to stay, and believing it is
destined to be means of elevating the farm
ers socially and educationally, but not being
granger ourself, only in heart, we do not
desire to undertake to lead those who are en-
tirely within the gates, and therefore have
engaged a wel-known member Of the order
to furnish articles for that department, who
has done so acceptably for the past few
months He is too modest to have his name
announced, but we have no fears that he will
do better for all concerned than we eau. We
solicit reports from the graugers of the state,
Of farm and household discussion and what
ever may be of interest to the farmers and
the general reader. Whatever zoe may say
Of the grange-and we propose to take in
that as in all other subjects, an independent,
outspoken attitude-will be found in the ed
itorial columns of the papor,-TED. FARMER,

housekeeping is in keeping and
complete. The nature Of the man was 81.
gantic, or he never could have achieved tn c
power over men that he did. His crimes
were gigantic, in keeping with his nature
and the opportunities which he made for
himself. His command of the most skillful
council, and Of luxuries and liberties while
in prison, accorded with his whole history
His escape upon the open sea in frail boat,
his wanderings for year, his arrest by a
foreign government, and his return in one
Of the proudest vessels of the American navy,
all harmonic with the events of his previous
life. And now he sinks into the helpless
pigmy that the reprobation Of fOrty-iour
millions Of people and the irresistible power
of the law which he has evaded aud deded
can make of the most powerful man. Thus
far the drama is complete in all its details
aud all its relations.-ScriJaerS for Fsbru-
arg.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON STEPHENS died at
Washington, Monday, in the sixty.hfth year
OF his age. He seems to have understood
his own condition at the last better than his
physicians, differing from them in their
opinion that the grim messenger of death
was not near. His illness was painful and
OF long duration, and the reports of his
death or approaching dissolution have been
almost as numerous as those which marked
the last days Of Vanderbilt's life. Although
he was o sccessionist Of tho I" fire-eater" type
and having been elected vice. President of
the confederacy labored for the success of
the rebel cause, this must DO said Of Alex
andcr II. Stephens he voted against the
ordinance OF secession in state convention
OF Georgia, held in 1861, and denounced the
movement which afterwards he cspoused 1t
is not for us to judge Of the causes which
led him to assume the position of a traitor
to his country. He was born in Taliaferro
county, Georgia, and graduated from the
University at Athens, Ca, when he was
twenty years old. Two years later he
was admitted to the bar at Charlottesville,
was member of the House Of Represent:
atives in tho Georgia Legislature from
1885 to 1S41 inclusive, and took his
place in the state senate the next year.
He was a United States Representative
from the twenty.eighth to the thirty.sixth
congress, and then declining reelection, he
announced his retirement from public life
In 1866 he was elected to the United
States senate, but Georgia not having
complied with tho conditions of recon.
structon, he was refused a seat lie was
elected to the forty.third congress, how
ever, to fill vacancy, and, being reelected,
he was at the time of his death member
of the iorty-iourth congress-Rutland

STANDARDIZATION ascetic self.denial,-
is sometimes the way of escape from tempta-
ton. Luxury and self-indulgence onervate.
We must sometimes collect our energies by
solitude, by denying ourselves recreation,
even innocent recreation by living on lit
tie, practicing rigid economy, and leading
austere lives. So the Apostle Paul said I:
al keep under my body and bring into sub
jection-lest |, who have preached to others,
should be unable to stand the test" The
asceticism, which is Objectionable is asceti-
cism for its own sake, as though it were good
in ITSELF This was the error of medie val
asceticism. Selfdenial is to the soul what
gymnastics are to the body Gymnastics are
to be practiced for the sake of gaining
strength and health, aud not for the sake of
gymnastics If people should retire into
gymnasiums aud devote the rest of their lives
to solitary gymnastic exercises, it would be
foolish. The monks committed the same
folly. But our danger is not theirs; our
temptations are not in that direction-they
are to sef-iudulgence, to luxury, to the love
of display, to love of ccumulation.-James
Freeman Clarke.

TIE CHIEF PRACTICAL argument for woman
suffrage is, that it will introduce into our
politics higher morality, finer moral tests and
tone, and elevate the whole character of our
public service. Yet we see these represen-
tatives of the cause,-by all odds the smart
est OF the women leaders, -yielding this
whole principle at the very first temptation,
-bartering themselves aud their cause away,
in fact, for vote. We are quite sure this
is not the way to begin the movement for
purer and better politics we are quite sure
that the championship by these representa-
tive women of such men as Butler and Lor-
ing has cost their cause hundred times as
much as the amateur support these men
have given it has done it goOd.-SpriaQfeld
