FAIRFIELD.

Hon Mortimer Whitehead of Washing ton, D. O., connected with the United States department of agriculture in the weather bereau service; also lecturer of the National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, addressed a good audience of representative farmers at the Town hall, Fairfield, April 6. MT Whitehead spoke of the necessity of organization among farmers, now that all other classes and professions are organized for mutual protection and advancement of their interests. He instanced the grange as the oldest and only national organization of farmers. It was now more than 9 years old and was growing stronger with each passing year. More new granges were organized, last year, than in any one year for several years before. The New England States can now count upward of 60,000 members, Connecticut having over 10000. He gave number of instances of what the grange had done by securing legislation in the interest of agriculture, among which was the interstate commerce law, oleOmargarine laws and the elevation of the bureau of agriculture to depart ment of the government, with it's head a member of the Presidents cabinet and plainly pointed out the great progress that had been made in practical good work for the American farmer since "Uncle Jerry" himself practical far mer, had been at the helm; notably the beef and pork inspection laws, by which better foreign markets had been opened for the products of our farms and at bet ter paying prices; the successful work done in introducing our corn as an arti- cle of food into the armies and among the people of Europe. He also pointed out the wonderful progress that had been made in the weather bureau since it came under the direction of Secretary Rusk, aided by Prof Mark M. Harring- ton, one of the ablest scientists who was also born and brought up on farm and, therefore, fully aware of the needs of agriculture. The weather signal sta- tions were constantly being increased and just now, in all parts of the United States, arrangements were being made by which the steam whistles on mills and factories should blow code of sig nals each day at noon, giving the far mers for miles around the weather "prob- abilities from 24 to 36 hours ahead. The audience were in full sympathy with the speaker and good results are sure to follow this able and eloquent presentation of the subject.
 How the times have changed! During the war of 1872, provision ran short and prices ran high. Sugar rose to 4Oc a pound, molasses $2 per gallon, tea $3 per pound, indigo $6 per pound and other ar ticles rose correspondingly high. This state of affairs lasted in New York until a Russian ship arrived in the harbor with cargo of provisions. Now we are send- ing provisions to the starving Russians with plenty left, so that you can buy from B. Betts the very best brands of flour at Ss5 50 per barrel, 23 pounds of sugar for $1, molasses and syrup 30c to 45c per gallon and the very best of tea at 6Oc per pound, dried apples 5c and all other goods at prices surprisingly low.

 It is a bright day that brings forth the adder. Think of God when the tempter says, "All this will I give thee.'' Trust not the insolvent world; it has cheated every creditor that ever trusted it; and it will cheat you.- Hannah More. Learn to entwine with your prayers the small cares, the trifiing sorrows, the little wants of daily life. Whatever af- fleets you-be it a changed look, an alter ed tone, an unkind word, wound, a de- mand you cannot meet,a sorrow you can- not disclose-turn it into prayer, and send it up to God. Disclosures you may not make to man, you can make to the Lord. Men may be too little for your great matters; God is not too great for your small ones. Only give yourself to prayer, whatever be the occasion that calls for it.

 It is a painful thing, this pruning work, this cutting off of the over luxuriant shoots, in order to call back the wander ing juices into the healthier and more living parts. In religion, it is described thus: EEvery branch in me that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.'' The keen edge of Gods pruning knife cuts sheer through. No weak tenderness stops Him whose love seeks goodness, not comfort, for His servants.-T F. W. Robertson.
 God will always take the best time to hand out mercies to His people; there is no mercy so ripe, so beautiful, as that which He gives in His own time. Though God delays thee, yet be silent, for there is no possibility of taking mercy out of Gods hand till the mercy be ripe for us, :, and we ripe for the mercy Rev Thom- as Brooks.

THE SECULAR PULPIT.
The Sermon.

The text, beloved, is found in the say ings of the Wise Man, ssHe that is soon angry dealeth foolishly."
 opine that Solomon had seen in his experience the man who goes around with chip on his shoulder ready to fight the first man who knocks it off. For there are some people who are ready to get angry at a moments notice.
 If the weekly paper is one day late, they sit down and stab the editor with sharp, cruel letter. If the breakfast is not on the table at the appointed mo- ment, they growl more ominously than old Boreas. And, if some one speaks of them slightingly, or seems to laugh at their rises of temper, they are as furious as an angry grizzly bear.
 So, my hearers, Solomon spoke wise word when he said that the soon angry man dealeth foolishly. Let me give you few pen pictures of the fools in their raging, that you may see just how fool- ish anger can make man.
 Farmer Brown is one of those fly quickly sort of men. Last week, Farmer Jones came over and borrowed his new chilled blow. He was to return it at night. But night came and no blow came. Farmer Brown was furious. He raved and tore around, called his neigh Dor all sorts of names and finally capped the climax by going over after that blow. He gave Farmer Jones's wife a terrible rating before she could make one word of explanation and finally demanded his property with the threat of a suit at law. The good woman told him, when she could get word in edgewise, that her husband had noticed, when he got through his work, that nut was gone from the blow and he had taken it to the village to get it repaired and was to leave it with it's owner on the way home. But Mrs Jones had a very uncomfortable night of it as result of Farmer Browns rawlings.
 Look on this picture also. Mrs Good. slow heard, at the sewing circle, some o1 the ladies talking about the behavior o1 some children. And, because they chang ed the subject when she joined the group she imagined that it was her children who were criticised. She fairly boiled over with anger at the supposed insult She was so curt and short in her answers . that all the ladies were made uncomfort , able and, finally, she left early to have good cry and wash out her anger il tears. But the ladies were not talking about her family at all and her anger wal all caused by a too vivid imagination. question very much whether it pays tC ever get angry, save at some evil il righteous indignation. See how it breaks up family ties, ruins neighborhood peace and turns the wosld into chaos.

The word is familiar, but not so its

that the lad was precocious the under

vlCTORIA'S GRIEF.

She Loved the Duke of Clarence as n Son
and Deeply Mourned His Demise-Her
Gratitude for the Widely-Expressed Sym
pathy of Her Subjects-A Covert Slap at
the Kaiser.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The Royal Gazette
last evening published the following in
relation to the death of the Duke of
Clarence:
OSBORNE, Jan. 20.
I must again give expression to my deep
sense of the loyalty and affectionate sympathy
eyinced by my subjects in every part of my en-
pre- on an occasion more sad and tragical than
any but one which has befallen me and mine,
a., well as the nation, in the overwhelming mis-
fortune of the death of my dearly
beloved grandson, suddenly cut off in the
flower Of his age, full Of promise for the
future. That he was amiable and gentle
and endearing himself to all, renders it hard for
his sorely stricken parents, his dear young
bride and fond grandmother to bow with sub
mission to the inscrutible decree of Providence.
The sympathy Of millions touching and visibly
expressed, is deeply gratifying and l wish, in
our own name and that of our children, to
press from our hearts warm gratitude for all
these testimonials of sympathy with us in APP
probation of our dear grandson. whom loved as
a son, and whose devotion to me was as great
as that Of son could be, in help and considera-
ton to me and mine. My bereayements of the
last thirty years of my reign have been indeed
heavy and though the labors, anxieties and re-
sponsibilities inseparable from my position have
also been great, yet it is my earnest prayer that
God win continue to give me health and
strength to work for the good and happiness Of
my dear country and empire while life lasts
VICTORIA
This utterance of the queen is the
subject of general comment every
where, and particularly the fact that,
although she has lost two children,
she counts the death of the Duke Of
Clarence as bereavement second only
to the death of the prince consort, thus
confirming what has been said of her
majesty's deep affection for her dead
grandson. The royal expression
is also, it is thought, in
tended to set at rest rumors
as to her majesty's health, as she prays
that she may be continued in good
health, thus averring that she is in
good health at present. It is thought
singular also, that her majesty should
have chosen the kaiser's birthday as
the date for the issue of her card of
thanks for public sympathy, and it is
suggested that rebuke is intended for
the bumptious grandson who is revel-
ling in festivity while his relatives are
plunged in grief
