anticipated her glad cry of"My boy" as
she tremblingly rose to greet him; but, ah,
he had not anticipated the picture which
met his gaze.
His mother was sitting, indeed, in the
arm chair by the fire, but at her feet, her
head resting in her lap, while the old fin
gers caressingly stroked the luxuriant
chestnut hair, was another figure, which
rose instead to welcome him.

cases have improved the land one hum

The question was now declared open
for general discussion, and many farmers
among the large number present, entered
earnestly into it. Among the number
was Hon. Solon Chase, who said l have

EVENING SESSION
Opened BY choir singing. d. II. Thing
then delivered lecture. Your reporter
did not attempt to take but very limited
notes of this address, which was listened
to with much satisfaction. 1t told Of
growth and development in nature, in the
human race, in civilization. He COM
pared the condition OF the farming popu-
lation Of different countries and different
ages; spoke Of monopolies and their
effect upon agriculture; of the Grange
in its aims to improve the social, moral
and intellectual condition of the farmers
and the farmers families. This it seeks
to do by bringing them out from their
isolated life on their farms into nearer
relations with each other, and by intel
lectual culture fit them better to fill the
position the great importance Of their
calling demands. This is what the
Grange aims to do, yet not in way
antagonistic to any other interest, but in
advancing and improving the farmers
interest, all Others are benefited. This
lecture was followed by discussion OF
the social standing Of the farmers Of this
county, in which many took lively part,
but no notes were taken.
The meeting, as was said above, was
held in Grange Hall, and the ladies pro-
vided a most excellent dinner and supper,
with tea and coffee. The exercises were
enlivened with excellent singing BY the
choir, at frequent intervals. In closing,
the usual votes Of thanks were passed to
the visitors, the ladies and the choir. The
universal expression was that the meet
ing was very interesting and profitable

A SENATOR INTERVIEWED.

A Forum reporter was detailed to in
terview Hon. John Jones. He proceeded
at once to his residence, and running up
the marble steps, rang the bell. A lady
appeared at the summons Of the servant,
whom the reporter supposed to be Mrs:
Jones, the wife OF the distinguished
gentleman. Bowling and removing his
hat, the reporter said:
"Is Mr.. Jones at home'"
"No," was the response.
"He 10 not in the house, then! 2!
mo, SIR"
"Ah! In that case he must be out,'
"He i"
"Hum! When will be be in?"
81 don't know"
"Ah-h! No objections to publishing
this interview in the Daily Forum, sup
pose" -,... ....--
mot at eli"
"Thank you;' and the reporter bowed
and left. He returned again, however,
about eleven o'clock at night, in hopes Of
finding the gentleman at home. At any
rate, man raised the upper window
when the bell rang. and asked who was
there. The reporter explained his busi-
ness, and asked if it was the Hon. Mr..
Jones who spoke. The man said it was,
and if the reporter didn't leave he'd
throw pitcher Of water out. The re-
porter hoisted his umbrella, and asked
what Mr.. Jones had to say on the subject
of International finance and commercial
reciprocity Jones threw the water, but
the umbrella would have protected the re-
porter. had not Jones thoughtlessly
dropped the pitcher. That ended the
umbrella and interview, and nearly
smashed the reporter, but he feels sweet
revenge in the fact that Mr.. Jones's
water-pitcher is no more. 1t struck his
cheek. d.

TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED

Half the failures IN LIE result from the
habi. so many people have Of taking
things for granted. The business man
assumes that his credits are good, or he
takes it for granted that his wife knows
what style of living his income will war
rant, until the logic Of addition, subtrae-
ton and multiplication proves too much
for him, and down comes his business in
ruins. The young professional man
takes it for granted that veneering instead
of solid requirements will enable him to
succeed, because there are 50 many noto-
rious examples Of mems rising and main
tanning themselves in public life through
pure audacity, nativ" wit, and an utter
lack of conscience. He will find too late
that i, won't do to plan and risk career
by the exceptions rather than the rule.
The farmer keeps no accounts; crops his
farm according to the season, or last
years markets, or his neighbor success ;
takes it for granted that the laws Of ma
,urc and of trade will accommodate
themselves to his necessities; sinks deeper
into debt, and wonders why farming
doesn't pay.
And so on TO the end: men everywhere
want success without paying its price in
thorough preparation, honest hard work,
intelligen, calculation and foresight. pa
,ient attention to details. They take for
granted things which it is their business
TO know, and trust that to fortune which
common sense and experience should
teach them is controlled by law.
In domestic life the same faulty is
felt. The unhappiness unconsciously and
thoughtlessly inflicted aggregates good
part of the total felt in the average life.
How many husbands take it for granted
that their wives know that they love
them, and so never show it in the old
lover-like way How many take 1t for
granted that wife will ask for money If
she needs it,-heedless or ignoran. Of the
pain it gives a sensitive woman to ask for
every dollar she receives. How many
fathers take it for granted that daughters
need nothing but home and clothing
that boys cannot suffer for want OF amuse-
men., recreation. sympathy or compan-
ionship,-that the tired mother would
herself plan and execute vacation rest
if she needed it,
There is of course something to be
said on the other side; but as rule
women are much more thoughtful in
such matters than men are. II, however,
any of them who read this conclude, on
reflection, that they are receiving little
too much as matter of course the re-
suits of a husbands toll and fidelity,
they will know how to make amends.
The splendid devotions and sacrifices OF
manly men, illustrated every day and in
all walks of life, are not matters to be
accepted in an unsympathetic, listless,
matter fact way. 1t is not enough in
this world, to "mean well" We ought
;; to do well. Thoughtfulness therefore be.
comes q duty, and gratitude one OF the
graces. Alike in the fine things of life,
and in its common work and duties, lei
us not take-or leave those whom we
love, to take,-too many things tor
granted.-Golden Rule.

i CARLYLEs ADVICE TO LITERARY
AMATRuR.-In collection Of Covenanter
ballads lately published at Edinburgh
there are few characteristic letters by
Carlyle. One Of them is addressed to
friend who had endeavored to interest
Carlyle in cousin whose ambition il was
to win place among writers for periodi-
cal literature. II sets forth in such yig-
orous fashion the hsrdships and uncertain
ties Of the literary career that it is worth
quoting for the benefit Of young writer's
in general, who are apt to be so dazzled
by the brilliant career of the few who
succeed that they do not rightly estimate
the wretchedness of the many who fail.
Carlyle writes:
"There is no madden section of human
business now weltering under the sun
than that of periodical literature in Eng
land at this day. The meagrest bread
and-water wages at any honest, steady
occupation, / should say, are preferable
for young man, especially for an ambi-
tious, excitable young man. | mistake
much if your cousin were not wise to
stick stesdfastly by his law and what
benefits it will yield him; studying, Of
course, in all ways, to perfect and cult
vate himself. but leaving all literary glory,
etc., ETC., to lie in the distance, an obscure
possibility of the future. which he might
attain, perhaps, but also could do very
well without attaining In another year,
it seems, his official salary may be ex-
pected to increase into something tolera-
bic; he has his mother and loved ones
within reach; he has, or by diligence can
borrow and have, some books worth read
ing; his own free heart is within him, to
shape into humble wisdom, or mar into
violent madness; Gods great sky is over
him, Gods green peaceable earth around
him. really know not that he ought to
be in haste to quit such arrangements.-
Nevertheless. if he persist in the purpose
to write, which in my ignorance Of the
details Of his situation I know not that
he should absolutely avoid doing, let him
by all means try it. If he turns out to
have the fit talent, he will decidedly find
an editor; if not. it is better in all ways
that he do not find one.
They (the editors) will make short work
of the business, and answer truly, This
thing seems fit for US; this thing seems
not ft!' That is all they will answer.
In conclusion, / should say that your
cousin ought decidedly to try some other
subject to start with than criticism on
Shakespeare. Doubtless he must know
best what he has the call to write upon,
if he have really an inward call. But
the thing he will have the chance to write
entertainingly upon will be something he
specially himself has seen, not probably
Shakespeare, should say. which all the
world these two centuries has been doing
its best to see. Excuse this abruptness.
Heaven knows l would gladly help your
cousin, if l could"

Gifted by insulating their bedstead from
the floor. Their experience leads them
to believe that without insulation their
magnetic forces are drawn off. They
have tried it both ways. Without in
sulation they arise in the morning feel
ing sense of lassitude and an inability
to enter upon the duties of the day.
With insulation they arise full of en-
ergy and ready for any task. The insu-
lation is effected by using either thick
plate glass or pieces of rubber under
the feet of the bedstead. There are
those whose sleep is not only more re-
freshing but more unbroken when this
plan is pursued. We would therefore
commend this experiment to those who
are either wakeful or unrefreshed by
sleep.-Dr. Foote's Health Monthly for

I "A valuable dye has been produced
from camphor by DR.. W. H. Gregg, Of
Elmira, N. Y. The only color that he
has been able to produce thus far is vel.
low in variety of shades, but he hopes
to produce scarlet and carmine. The
special features of the dye, aside from
its novelty, are its brilliancy and the
peculiar fastness of its colors. Boiling
for hours in a strong soap solution
barely turns the shade of cotton treated
with the dyes. The color will remain
good even after the fiber has been de-
stroyed.
