GEMS IN VERSE

We Two.
Oh, that we two were Maying
Down the stream of the soft spring
Like children with violets playing
In the shade of the whispering trees.
Oh, that we two sat dreaming
On the sward of some sheep trimnn'd
down,
Watching the white mist stealing
Ger river and mead and town.
Oh, that we two lay sleeping
In our nest in the churchyard sod,
With our limbs at rest on the quiet earth's
breast
And our souls at home-with God!

Her coarse, plebeian petals, coquettine

Her cheeks with heightened color at the
notice she had won

A maiden passed along that way, seeking
fragrant bloom
A little maid Of charity-she helped to
cheer the doom
OF dreary army hospitals where diving
soldiers lay,
Wounded with the memories of the men
they strove to STAY
BY british power
Not single glance gave she to the tulip

unseen.
But pouring forth her perfume with her
wonted modest mien,
Self needless flower.
Her body bruised and broken, the violet
lay dead
Within the maiden's grasp, and then the
tulip said:
''You foolish little flower, it's plain as
plain can be
You should have asserted more Of self.
Just look at me;

The tulip hung there until it rotted on its
withered stem.
The dying soldiers smiled while souls of
violets waited them
TO realms where waves Of fragrance from
Gods own presence roll.
For the petal is the body. but the perfume

D>'AAA~ ..As.uiA~.-. racts Concerning
the Organization of the Order.
From the Michigan Patron we take
the following historical facts relating
to the institution of the Order of Pa
irons Of Husbandry: "a
The first subordinate grange was or
ganized in Washington the Sth day of
January. 1858, as school Of instruction,
with William NJ. Ireland as master.
The first dispensation for a grange was
granted at Harrisburg, Pa, the 4th day of
April, 1868, but the first regular subordi-s
nate grange to which a charter was issued,
was organized at Fredohia. N. r., the 18th \
day Of April, 1868.
The first state grange that OF Minne-f
sofa, was organized the ed day Of Febru-,t
airy, 1869. The new Order made slow prog a
ress up to 1872, only PSI oranges having
been organized in the entire country.
and the Order had an existence In twenty
two states. .
The first meeting Of the national grange
as a delegate body was held at George
town, D. c., the Sth day of January, 1873
with six Of the founders Of the Order and j
eleven states. Six Of the delegates were
masters Of state oranges and the remain
der were deputies in the Order. 1t
At the last session of the national
grange twenty-seven states were rep
resented by regularly appointed dele,
gates, and the total membership is now
about 100000. .~>>=> II
Vermont has eighty subordinate
oranges and total membership Of
about $500, according to the last re-
port sof the state grange secretary.

opponent and at least 25 pounds less

antics did not worry the big fighter in
the least. When the latter saw AZ he went

There was also hitch in the prelim-
mary bouts, one OF which was to have
been between McKenna and Malloy. The
former did not show up and Lewis was
secured 10 take his place. This man was
not acceptable so the bout had TO be de-

My opinion is that the Hon. II. j.
Eckley will be candidate, under
stand that Blythe is already in the
field. There was a time when Eckley
could have had the nomination and
think he should run now"
Mr.. Fimple is the first assistant In
the general land Office at Washington,
an appointment which Is said to have
been given him through the influence
of Mark Hanna. He was candidate
at the convention that nominated Gill,
his delegation going over to the Steu-
benville man at the last moment and
making his nomination possible.
