Grange to two subjects. legislation
aud education in behalf Of the farm-

AS the laws now stand there caa
be no doubt that the farmers have
more than their share Of the burdens
Of the government and enjoy less than
their share of it's privileges and
emoluments. This discrimination
against US should be remedied.
1t appears that we have thus far
failed to secure the passage of Just

THAT DROPPED STITCH.

Il. ST.
A little old woman
With Silyer-rlmmed fspecS,''
Quite dulntlly dressed
In the cleanest of checks,
Was sitting alone in Il tower, SO high
That it seemed like needle piercing the sky.
There she had sat
FOr-oh, ever so long
Knitting, and singing
sweet little song.
And she said. white her face was puekered with
smiles,
'Tll soon have enough, for Ive knit twenty
miles,
She had needles all round her
And yarn in her shoe,
And she had psrtic
Ular object in view.
Being awfully tired of perpetual sitting.
She meant to climb down on her long piece OF
knitting.
The knitting hangs free
From the wide-Open easement;
The end of it reaches
Almost to the basement.
She cheeriu'ly knits. and remarks she sings.
by means of this knitting I'll do without
wings
OF the world far beneath her
| She knew not bit,
But she SAID to hers If,
With Il good deal of wit:
''If no better than this place. it cannot be
SO continued her knitting, aud singing her
verse.
| AT last, she got near
| To the end Of her work;
| The swift needles flew
| In anu ont. with jerk,
| When, some knot In the worsted producing a
| hitch,
This cheerful and pleasant old girl dropped Il
| stitch.
| Now, II great many persons
| Are apt 10 suppose
| That dropping one stich-
| Which, you know. .hurdly shows
| should Ge Il small matter quite easy 10 shirk;
| And so the old lady went on with her WORK.
She finished her line,
| Never minding her error;
| Tied II fast, and then started,
| When, oh to her terror,
| 1t began, where the stitch had been dropped, to
| unravel,
And rapidly down toward the earth did she
travel.
| At first fast, and then faster,
The knitting unwound,
And faster and faster
| She icli 10 the ground,
Whirled over and over, and heavily dropped,
| Poor soul How she wished ON her window
| she Il stopped.
So. children, be thorough,
| Whatever you do.
For Il similar trouble
Might happen to you.
In performing your duties don't offer to shirk
But be careful no stitches are dropped in youl
work.
