"About t,va years ago I took up my
residence for few wtyxs is a country
village in the easters pa'7 of NV
England. Soon after my arrival l be-
came acquainted with ayouag lady, ap
parent'y abou; II years al aga. She had
lost the idol Of her hearts purest love,
and the shat,s.rss Of deep and holy memo
ries were resting like the w;ags of death
upon her brow.
Il first met her in the presence Of the
mirthfal. She was.s indeed 4 creature to
be admired; her brow was garlanded
with the young years sweetest flowe:s,
and her sunny ,resses were hanging
beautiful and low upon her bosom, aud
she moved through the crowd with such
a floating, unea'.h!y grace that the bewil
dered gazer looked almost te St her fade
away into the air like the creation Of a
peasant dream. She smiled. bat there
was something 10 her smile which told me-
its mou'nfal beauty was but the fe6-ction
Of tear, but her eyeIids pressed heas, y
down as il struggling to repress the tide
Of agony that was bursting. up from her
hearts secret urn. She ldnked as if shs
could have left the scene of fes.isiiy and
gone out beneath the qnie. stars aud laid
her forehead down upon HE fresh, green
earth, and poured cat her hea,t stricken
soul, gush after gusb, I'll it mingled with
the eternal fountain Of purity and life.
Il have lately heard that tbs young
lady Of whom have spoken is dead. The
close Of her life was calm Sc the falling Of

the breeze that lings,s fora time around
bed Of withered roses, and thee dies for
very sweetness.
''It cannot be that earth is mans only

like angels from the t-mI'e Of our bear Is

Why is it thatth stars which hold their

The farmers of all sections and parties

take control of their political affairs by Sc
Iecting good and true men to represent
them, and drive out the denlagogues and

TO PATRONS IN TEXAS.

We send copy of this issue of THE
Patron to the Master of every Subordi-
hate Grange in Texas. We respectfully
ask each one receiving it to read it over
carefully, and bring if to the attention of
bis Grange, or in case his Grange may
hot be active, to his friends and neighbors,
and make an effort to raise a club of sub
scribers. Each one could easily secure
five or ten subscribers.
The Patrons of Texas will find in this
ournal more Grange news and Grange
literature than in any other paper in the
South. It will be especially interesting to
Patrons in Texas as quite number of
leadng Patrons in the State contribute
fo its columns, and we give special atten-
fion to the work and progress of the Order
There. We shall from time to time pub
Fish the yortraits and biographies of lead
ing Patrons, and after the next meeting
pf the State Grauge we will publish the
portraits of all the officers of the State
Orange with the proceedings of the ses-
sion.
THE Patron is the only paper in
be Southwest that gives any atten-
hon to the great question of estab-
fshing. new process" cotton factories

Some excellent and patriotic gentlemen,
leading members of the Grange, are con-
nected with the movement to organize a
National Agricultural Society. We be-
liepe that this new organization will be
controlled eventually by certain classes
from whose grasping and oppressive pow
er the farmers have sought. to escape by
joining the Grange; and we believe fur
ther, that, if successful, it will become as
much an opponent of the Grange as the
Boards of Trade. The.published purposes
of this proposed organization may be well
enough, but we believe that the poorer
class of farmers, who have been and are
now "hewers of wood to. other classes,
will suffer from its power. Let us stand
by the Grange more firmly and steadfastly
than ever. ,r -L5s. -.5

MISSISSIPPI STATE GRANGE.

The approaching meeting of the State
by delegates from all parts of the State:
men and women thoroughly mbued with
the true Grange spirit, and who are ready
and willing not only to adopt practical
measures for the upbuilding of the Order
in the State, but who will give these meas
ures an earnest, active support when they
return to their homes. The Grange is an
organization that demands of its members
the most energetic, well-directed, persis
tent effort in all it's departments. 1t is but
the means for accomplishing certain great
and important objects, and to make it po-
tent, efficient as an organization, its mem
bers, especially those entrusted with lead
ing positions, must give it a strong, COR
dial support, and carry out with unfag
ging zeal and energy the measures adop
ted by its representative bodies. ..,,.E.
We look with more than usual nope fo~
practical results from the approaching
session of the State Grange. Worthy
Master Darden-one of the foremost of
our leaders-will doubtless make sugges-
tions i'll his annual address that will prompt
the body to take action that will arouse
the farmers of the State to a full apprecia-
ton of the necessity of the organization
and cause them to rally to its standard
with all the enthusiasm of the early days
of the movement
Let the members of the State Grange
act vigorously and earnestly at this meet
ing, and they may safely rely upon a
strong support from the masses.

Worthy Master Darden made fine
impression upon the sturdy New York
farmers during his visit to that State, and
he was equally pleased with them. When
the farmers of all sections come to know

Grange is rapidly preparing the way, a

try will enter upon new and more

west. These talented and patriotic lead
ers are both se1f-made men, who have
learned in the hard school of experience
what it is for class Of workingmen to be
unorganized and subject to the power of
organized classes; and they have the
spirit to strike boldly and earnestly for
their individual and class rights their
right to just and equitable share of the
benefits as we'll as the burdens of govern
ment, to the profits resulting from their
toll. and to transact their business affairs
as may best suit their interests,
In all the dark days of the past few
years, when the enemies boasted and the
tinid friends feared that the Order was
dying, Worthy Master Kellar never de-
SPARED of ultimate success nor faltered for
a moment in his devotion to the cause.
His voice never gave forth an uncertain
sound; but steady and sincere in his faith
in Grange principles, he kept on his ar
NOR, and worked willingly and strongly
where work was to be done. The history
of such men, though briefly told and in
complete, always interests the masses who
appreciate the grandeur and ennobling in,
fluence of the Grange.
