because they have not sufficient direct
interest in tilling the soil, or may have

poses. But we apply to all good citizens
for the cordial cooperation to assist In
our efforts towards reform, that we may
eventually remove from our midst the
last yestige of tyranny and corruption.
We hall the general desire for fraternal
harmony, equitable compromises, and
earnest cooperation, as an omen OF our

CONCLUSION.
7. Eshall be an abiding principle with
us to relieve any of our oppressed and
suffering brotherhood by any means at
our command.
Last, but not least, we proclaim it
among our purposes to include a proper
appreciation of the abilities and sphere
of woman, as is indicated by admitting
her TO membership and position In our
Order.
Imploring the continued assistance of
our Divine Master to guide US in our
work, we here pledge ourselves TO faithful
and harmonious labor for all future time,
to return by our united efforts to the
justice, fraternity and political |
purity of our forefathers.

Countr. Schools.

The farmers throughout the
South are sadly negIecting their
schools. The Grange has fallen
far short of public expectations in
this direction, for no subject is Of
greater Importance, and yet it has
ocen generally ignored The mem-
bers of the Order, being thrown to-
getber so often and becoming 80

ana building up schools that it is
simply criminal that they should
nave given the subject such little
attention. A few schools have, in
deed, been established by Oranges
ana are in successful operation, bnt
these are the exception. Where
one school is in operation there
should be twenty.
Farmers have heretofore rivon
tnls matter over to the teachers and
booksellers. In those States whore
there is no public school system
the condition of the country schools
Is deplorable; and even where sucb

give bat little attention to their

Profoundly impressed with the truth
that the National Grange of the United
States should definitely proclaim to the
world its general objects, we hereby
make this Declaration of
Purposes Of the Patrons of Husbandry.

tie OF agriculture, we mutually resolve to
labor tor the good of our Order, our
and mankind.
2. We heartily endorse the motto, I'm

THE OFFICE SHOULD SEEK THE NAN AND

that difference of opinion is no crime,

Effect of Music on Sheep.

The following pleasing anecdote of
the power Of music is related by the
celebrated Haydn:
'In my early youth" says he, 81
went, with some other young people
equally devoid Of care, one morning
during the extreme heat of summer to
seek for coolness and fresh air on one
of the lofty mountains which surround
the LagO Maggiore in Lombardy.
Having reached the middle of the
ascent by daybreak, we stopped to con-
template the Borromean isles, which
were displayed under our feet in the
middle of the lake, when we were sur
rounded by alarge flock Of sheep, which
were leaving their fold to go to pasture.
Zone of our party, who Was no bad
performer on the flute and who always
carried che instrument with him, took
it out of his pocket. He began to
play. The sheep and goats, which
were following one another toward
the mountain with their heads hang
ing down, raised them with the first
sound of the flute, and all, with a gen.
eral and hasty movement, turned to
the side from whence the agreeable
noise proceeded. They gradually
tlocked around the musician and lis
tened with motionless attention. He
ceased playing and the sheep did not
stir.
"The shepherd with his staff now
obliged them to move on; but no
sooner did the fluter begin again
than his innocent audience again
returned to him. The shepherd,
out of patience, pelted them with clods
Of earth; but not one of them would
move. The fiuter played with addi-
tional skill; the shepherd fell into a
passion, whistled, scolded and pelted
the poor creatures with stones. Such
as were hit by them began to march,
but the others still refused to stir. At
last the shepherd was forced to entreat
our Orpheus to stop his magic sounds;
the sheep then moved off, but con-
tinued to stop at distance as often us
our friend resumed the agreeable in
strument.
"The tune he played was nothing
more than a favorite air at that time
in Milan. We were delighted with
our adventure; we reasoned upon it the
whole day. and concluded that phys
ical pleasure is the basis of all interest
in music"
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1882-11-08
Two Singular Men,

A stranger with long hair, a white
coat, a white hat with a Grape band
and other evidences of lunacy, entered
a Griswold street restaurant yesterday
and said to the proprietor:
"Sir, let me explain in advance that
l am singular man."
"All right, sir. A singular mans
order is as good as any one else's."
81 want six oysters on the half
shell-on the left hand half, if you
please"
The oysters were opened and placed
before him, and when he had devoured
them he said:
"NOw take six oysters, run them
through a clothes-wringer to remove
the dampness, and fry them for me in
