The first annual session Of the
Grand Lodge Of Pennsylvania was
held Dec. 10, 1854, and the report
stated that l56 lodges had been or
ganized during the year, making 252
in the state. Joel Jewell was elect
ed G. w. G. T. A resolution was
offered looking towards holding del
egating County Conventions, and
Bro. S. D. Chase offered a resolution
which was adopted, in favor Of tax
ing early action in circulating peti
tions in favor OF prohibitary legisla-
tions. Thus the Good Templars
were at this early day placed on the
only platform which looks to the
banishment of the traffic.
Kentucky had been occupied by
the Sons of Temperance and Temple
of Honor and the efforts to introduce
the new organization were looked
upon with great jealousy. The
grand lodge was organized Jan. s,

third grand lodge that recognized
the equality of sisters by slecting
them to Office. The most prominent
man in the order was B. II. Mills.
A thin, spare man with an active,
ardent temperament, and full of en-
ergy, he was led to join our order at
an early day, and as Grand Worthy
Secretary he did very much to build
up our cause.
Robert E. Blakely was a reformed
inebriate, and labored indefatigably
in building up the order, but in an
evil hour he fell to rise no more.

Hens.

An important consideration in the care
Of hens is well-kept nest. Frequently
it happens that poultry yard IS despoiled
by disease among the feathered tribe,
which runs through all without effectual
remedy, and the poulterer sees treasure
after treasure disappear without, in the
least, being able to check the ravages Of
the distemper. In almost every case this
condition may be attributed to INSULT
cient care of nests and roosts, if the
roosts are in the hen house. A plentiful
supply of whitewash in the poultry yard
is one of the best remedies a. ainst dis
ease. The nests should be well white
washed inside and out once or twice a
month, and the old nest replaced by fresh
ones. Attention to this rule, suticien-
cy of clean water, and if it is desired that
hens produce great quantities of eggs,
pieces of fat fed to them couple of
times week will show evidence of pros
perity in the hen kingdom that can't fail
to be satisfactory to the owner.

Hints About House-P.ants.

The best temperature for house plants
is from forty Ell ht degrees at night to
seventy degrees during the day. Give
air on every warm, sunny day. If your
plants should at any time get nipped with
frost, shower them with very cold water,
and keep them in the shade for day or
two. Furnace heat is the worst for plants,
and that from wood-stove the best.
Keep the air nloist-a pan of water kept
On the stove, or a damp towel hung on
the register will do this. Water thorough
ly, but not too often. Shower all smooth
leaved plants frequently. Wash the
leaves of English ivy with clean cold
water and a spouge--nothing else. Use
water Of the same temperature as the
room. The oleander, Gala and hydrangea
may have water standing in the saucers
under the pots. Vines should be watered
more frequently til an other plants.
A few drops Of ammonia added to a
pail of water, and applied once week,
will prevent the earth in the pots from
getting sour. In giving liquid manure,
a heaping tablespoonful stirred into a
water pailful of water is enough. To

scaly-bug attacks your callaa, oleanders,
and the stems Of your rose bushes, exer-
else your patience by picking the insects
off, and wash the affected parts afterward
with weak soapsuds. The mealy-nug,
which looks like little more than bit OF
dirt, must, like the scaly-bug, be removed
by hand picking. ". ". F.. Bound.

Eccentrics.

There is no other day of the week that
finds 80 much general enthusiastic favor
with the small boy as Saturday. Saturday
tohim is greatrealm of poetry and flow
ers. Everything seems different, because
on that DAY there is no school and he can
lie abed late and come down after all the
breakfast things are cleared away, and be
entertained with sample of his mothers

Tommy Simpson always looked for

satisfaction. Last Saturday he had az
ranged with some other boys to open tine
base ball season. The dull monotonous
week Of study passed SO slowly away
that it seemed to him to be hanging on
to the past with its chronological claws.
But finally it arrived.

clothes line, and did other small jobs

cUPID's QUEST.
VERSES FOR MUSIC.

Dan Cupid flew as butterfly
To the gardens Of earth one day,
And he sailed along through the Summer sky
In search of her howerets gay.
He lighted upon an amber crown
Which giittering leaves unfold;
Alas when to kiss he bent him down,
Twas not living, but molten gold!
He flew to blossom with pure white crest,
TO rest him balmy hour;
The snow concealed but an icy breast,
A stone was that passlonless flower.
Then spying ruby cup, he dips
In the petals of lovliest red;
The carmine stained his amorous lips,
And Dan Cupid indignant fed.

Farewell, farewell to the flowers OF earth!-

MARVELs.

Ye who have eyes and will not see, and you
Who hearken not to any voice that speaks
Through the vague night-tim and the falling
dew,
And through the rush of weary days and
weeks;
You who are children of this age, yet are
AS barks afOat upon lonely sea
Drifting along the pathway OF D star
To some dark port where life is loath to be;
You who look backward to the past, ana
That all the wonders of the earth and sky
Have faded like sweet visions in sleep,
Leaving the clouded soul to pine and die;
To you say: 10! ye ara fools indeed,
Since ye behold not what is writ in fire,
Like passionate lovers, who still fear to read
The holy language of their hearts desire.
Yet who am your brother; who tread
The same bright world, and through long
golden days
Live out the measure OF my life, and shed
Tears for lone men Who grooe in barren
| ways:
Ifeel like one who, from some radiant height
Beholds the unbroken sweep of flying years
Yet in this mid-watch OF the starry night
| What are to me dead phantonls and dead
| fcarsS
For when turn my wondering eyes to earth,
! find new meaning in mems liyes,as though
The world were IN the Spring time of its birth
And love and faith in all their early glow
When too, I look above me, perceive
Such miracles of light, and life, and power
Such marvels Of strange beauty, that grieve
To live beyond this one wild, rapturouE
hour.
And when look around me, still see
Down the dark, hollow labyrinth Of space
An infinite universe whose CLEANS to me
Bring haunting thoughts Of loneliness an
grace.
Then with wondrous melody of words,
The fervor and the passion of sweet song,
Sweet as the robins or the hooking birds,
Breaks from my heart in music loud an
long.

MOTHER.

The light, the spell word of the heat,
Our guiding star in veal or woe,
Our talisman-our earthly chart
That sweetest name that earth can know.
We breathed it first with lisping tongue
When Graded in her arms we lay.
Fond memories round that name are hung
That will not, cannot pass away.
We breathed it then, we breathe it still,
More dear than sister, friend or brother;
The gentle power, the maeic thrill,
Awakened at the name of mother.
