OF the many cases which hinder
men from attaining success, indeci-
sion is undoubtedly one of the most
potent Without any determined
course marked out for themselves,
young men launch out into the great
ocean of life, depending more upon
chance than any fixed laws whereby
a definite result may be obtained
Thinking to-day, perhaps, to amass
fortune through some particular
channel, they, tomorrow, easily al
ter for some other. So they pass
their lives, continually varying, al
ways discontinued with the present,
and ever looking to the future for
brighter days, which their INDIGESTION
does not warrant them to expect.
How many men there are who, if
settled III tlreir purpose to obtain a
livelihood, would ultimately be
crowned with success. How many
old men who, if they had not so
lightly and SO frequently changed
their vocation, would be now in the
enjoyment of every comfort, where
as their latter days are embittered
by want and their home the work.
house. It is the blight from which
no one is exempt that "man shall eat
his own bread by the sweat of his
brow" Such being the case, let US
not be ever fastidious as to the nature
of the employment We were not
placed in this world to enjoy an
endless paradise, but to prepare our
selves by honest lives for endless
bliss If we feel dissatisfied with
our lot-which in fact, we all do,
king as well as the beggar-let us
nobly and manfully endure it, and
console ourselves with the pleasur-
able reflection that soon, very soon,
all our tolls and troubles and priva-
tons will have an end. Let us try
not to divest ourselves Of the weight
Providence has put upon us. What
ever. our condition in life, let us dis
charge its duties, and if we calmly.
submit TO the Creators good will,
be convinced that our days will be
more happy and less troubled than
if we seek day after day an easier
means of obtaining that from which
we shall be shortly and .irrevocably
separated-money. Be decided,
then, in youth, what course you will
pursue throughout life. Do not,
without sufficient reason, deviate
from it, and though you should not
become distinguished man, yet
rest assured that your life will not
be fruitless.

Bro. A. c. Farmer, the patriotic
and efficient Master of the Scott
County Grange, Miss, sends US the
following cheering letter:
Editor Patron. The Patrons of
Leake county are alive and getting to
work. l attended Worthy Master
Darden's appointment at Walnut
Grove on the nth. He made tell
ing speech, showing clearly by facts
and figures how the farmers as a
class are being ruined by neglecting
the business feature of the Order.
I was requested to meet tie Patrons
there on Saturday, the goth, to reor-
ganize their Grange, which | will
do. | then accompanied Bro. Oar
den to his next appointment, Forest
Grove, q miles distant, where we ar
rived the next day at 10 o'clock, and
met large audience. Bro. Darden
spoke with his usual force and elo-
quence, showing so plainly the great
necessity of organization on the part

the farmers present prompted them
to go to work, and when he enquired
if they desired to reorganiEe, I OF
the leading farmers and their wives
promptly rose, and their Grange was
reorganized with Bro. J. w. John
ston as Master and Bro. Presley
Groves as Secretary. We will hear
of good work in Leake county after
this. We got subscribers for our
paper there; l enclose you 22 names
and the money. l will just here ask
every true, earnest Granger who
reads THE PATRON to make an eff
fort to extend its circulation. 1t is
our interest to do this. If we can get
it into the homes of a majority OF
the farmers Of Mississippi, there
would not be dormant Grange in

The farm is good place to rear
boys and to produce men in the
strict sense of the word. Men are
what the world needs. True men
are needed everywhere Honest
men are needed who will stand by
their word with the same tenacity
that they stand by their property.
The hope of the country is in the
farms. If the farms fail to send
forth an honest yeomanry, then is
our country lost But if honest
boys and upright men are brought
forth by the thousands of farms in
New England and the West, then
they will be as the salt of the earth
and which will prove the salvation
of our free institutions. The boy
raised on the farm is usually ex-
posed to fewer temptations than
other boys, and usually makes the
better man.

We hear it constantly asserted by
outsiders, that the Grange costs its
members more than it is worth
Men who make this assertion know
nothing about the real value OF the
Grange, and could not appreciate II
if it was explained to them, tor they
estimate the worth of everything IN
dollars and cents. If the Grange
brought no financial advantages to
its members, it still would be worth
far more than it costs wherever the
true spirit of the organization pre-
walls. True Patrons regard the dl.
rect financial benefits as only oil

that every dollar invested in th NAT

We are indebted to the publish
ers, the New York PIow Co., for a
pamphlet copy of a most interesting
work on the "Ensilage of Green
Crops, from the French by Augusta
Goffart, with the latest facts CON
nected with this system, by J. D.
Brown" This is a subject that is
attracting considerable attention
among farmers At the North, and
will doubtless soon be a topic of
discussion n-other sections.

Our Rock Table,

our BOOK AHDhc.
I Abbletoa's journal for November
comes with most delightful table
of contents. The opening article on
s'The Rights of Married Women" is
calm and rational discussion of the
subject, winding up with this sensi-
bic conclusion, claws made in refer
ence to mental positions accorded
married women by early civiliza-
tons ought to be supplanted by
laws consistent with and fully rec
ognizing their modern elevation
The State of Mississippi has already
modified IFS code in that direction.
Andre Theuriet's charming idyl
Cali Alone" is completed. There is
another paper on cart in Daily Life
which sustains the interest in the
subject. "a Colorado Sketch" is
bright and enjoyable. But the most
intensely interesting sketch that we
have read recently, is that of Berlioz
the great musical composer, by Ed
ward King. "Some Recent Novels"
contains very interesting notices of
an interesting collection of books.
The insight into "Guizot's Private
Life gives additional interest to the
philosophic historian.
The above mentioned constitute
but part of the contents of this ably
conducted journal, which ranks
with the leading periodicals of the
country.
The Popular Science Mostily is
on hand and is full of interesting and
valuable matter. Herbert Spencer
has, in addition to No. of "Criti-
cisms Corrected" a paper on ''The
Development of Political Institu-
tons, which will be found highly
instructive. Education as a him
drance," follows in the line of Mr..
Spencer's Philosophy of Education,
and calls attention to the fact that a
purely literary and classical course
| of studies units artisans for the most
efficient labor-destroys all dispos;-
ton, in fact@to manual labor. 1t is
thfss collegiate education that units
the sons of farmers for work on the
farm, and drives them from it, as
something intolerable, into the
towns and cities. Discussion along
this line is becoming of prime impor-
lance, and we trust that investigation
followed by revolution in
our common school system. Cog
nate to this is the discussion Of
the curriculum at Princeton. AS
| Mr.. Spencer shows in his work on
Education, the whole system in all
of our schools, common and collegi-
ate, is utterly irrational. 1t begins
at the wrong end. That which
should be taught first is that which
mostimmediately concerns us-phy
steal science-a knowledge of the
laws and relation of the world about
US with which we have primarily
to deal These ideas should be dis
semminated among the farmers, and
there is no work that will be more
valuable to him and to artisans gen
orally than the Popular Science

are also discussed in its pages and a
fund of information conveyed.

In few weeks, our farmers will
be through with their hurry. Let
every true Patron now grid on his
armor, and be ready for the great
Grange harvest. Meetings should
be frequent and every member
should make it special duty to be
present. Have public meetings oc
casionally and invite your outside
neighbors and friends. Be pre-
pared to convince them, that it is
their duty to unite with us, and help
push forward the noble work.

If it should turn out that the
British government really means to
prosecute the leaders of the Irish
land movement for conspiracy, as
is reported, we may look for excit-
ing developments in Ireland at an
early day. Such a course would
undoubtedly fan the fire of discon-
tent into blaze and might have
very serious results for the unhappy
peasantry, while it could hardly, by
any possibility, better their con-
dition.

Credit where credit is due. The
very classes who condemned the
Grange the most in its early days
are now giving us credit for having
put in motion great reforms. Let it
nerve us to still more earnest 70ork
and if but true to ourselves and our
principles still more will we be
thankful for our battle in the cause
of right.

Why do Patrons of Husbandry

allow themselves to join Farmers
Clubs, or engage in their discuss
ions? If farmers won't join the
Grange, true Patrons had better
leave them to their own inferior
devices, which can only tend, if
they are not especially SO designed,
to injure the Order All the talk
against "Secret Societies." social
ed in these. enlightened days, is the
merest balderdash. The secrecy,
what little there is of it, is their
strength, and is entirely harmless
