Prosperitv of the Oranges,

From the report of the Secretary of the
National Grange, we learn that in 1875 the
to.al membership was 761 ,263, but that il
dropped to 5ss,9s7 in 1876, averaging 8!
members to the grange. The cause assigned
for this great decrease is mainly that deputies,
in some States, overdid the matter in organ
ixing. More oranges were organized than
the territory would support. Some of these
died of inanition, others consolidated, while
many surrendered charters in disgust. In
1873, there were 1862 oranges, and 1858
new ones were organized that year; in 1874,
99S9; in 1875, 2012, and in the year ending
October /, 1875, 855. The Secretary in.
dulges in little figuring as follows: He
estimates each grange as being composed of
% families of five persons each, or lis mem
bers, SO that the active oranges number 348,
910 families, or I,754, $50 souls. That the
shrinkage If numbers is healthy one is in :
ferred from the fact that while the number Of
oranges had decreased 374 per cent, the
number of paying members had been reduced
only 221 per cent, and the average strength
of each grange has risen from 81! to 40.

Slow the lily on her stalk
Mods across the garden walk,
Oh, show her!
oh. know her,
Once kissed the bud to bloom
The eyes Of all the world may see
A Iiiy's brow shine ioftily
A Iily's heart has holy room,
But one may kiss the bud to eioetn-
Shall tell you what I saw?
Is there any code or law
That has child me
Or forbid me?
But my lips are sealed fast,
When the twilight dawns like day,
When November laughs like May
When loves miracle has passed,
Then the lips are sealed fast.
A lily sleeping on her stalk
Stately down the garden walk
Though you ask her.
Though you task her,
That is ali that you will see.
You will never, never know.
She viii die, but never show
To the eyes with which you see
The wonlan'e soul revealed to me.
