1t will be observed that, with all the
diversity of device in the outlines of
bodices and skirts, there is uniformity
in the. length of the latter, which in
variably clear the ground. We have
so long been exempt from the once
fashionable dragging of skirts in the
streets, that it is to be hoped the enor-
nifty will never be revived. These
agreeable and comfortable short skirts
naturally necessitate careful attention
to foot-gear, and ladies feel the de-
STABILITY of neat shoes. The very
latest caprice in ties and slippers, too

respect to one Of the dearest friends
that the farmers OF this great nation
ever had ; one that early espoused the
teachings Of this noble order and for
years labored with alteration aud self

ton of mankind, and it can truly be
said that he fell at duty's post. For
he was in the lecture field when the
ravage Of disease fastened itself upon
him, which clipped the brittle thread
OF life. O, what noble friend and
brother during all the revolutions and

unchauging friend Of right.

Worthy Master and members Of New
ton County Grange, Miss.
{. a, one of the committee on agri-
culture, respectfully make the follow
ing report:
Agriculture has been practiccd, ex-
perimcuted on, talked upon, wrote
upon and has been and now is the
foundation Of civilization, wealth and
prosperity among the nations Of the
earth. and vet when we come to ex-
anime it strictly. we realize that it is
rs but vet in its infancy, as to what it
can aud viii be made, as a sustainer
Of life, a eivilizer. bond Of union
among mankind; a source Of COM
meree, wealth and luxury to all; for
without it no real prosperity can long
exist.
Nations in their beginning are poor,
Poverty is favorable 70 hardwood
aud industry. Industry leads TO thrift
and wealth After wealth comes lux
ury with all its attendant evils which
corrupt the rulers; then the people,
which ends in their destruction. This
is the historic round which nations

Nations have decayed and passed
away. but it has never been with the
imbeoility Of age.
A thousand civilized agricultural
people can live where a hundred saw
ages would starve
There never has becu a dccadenee
among the agricultural classes either
moral or physical until the rulers have
become corrupt beyond redemption
The rapid accumulation Of wealth
encourages luxury, which breeds the
many eorrupting influences, which
produce poverty, squalor aud crime

The fall of nations has been through
the rapid and corrupt accumulation Of
wealth, mostly drawn from agricul-
turc. into the possession OF a few, and
die increase of poverty and misery "a
tae others. These causes produced
the pall ofihc great nations Of the
earth
This law OF morals is yet in force
