Wishin3.

Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do:
Set q watch upon your actions:
Keep them always straight and true.
Rid your mind OF selfish motives;
Let your thoughts be clean and high
You can make q little Eden
OF the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiserf
Well. suppose you make q start
BY accommodating wisdom
In the scrapbook Of your heart.
Do not waste one page on folly;
Live to learn and learn to live.
II you want to give men knowledge.
You must get 1t ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy1
Then remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness
AS you pass along the way,
For the pleasures of the many
May be Outlines traced to one
As the hand that plants an acorn
Shelters armies from the sun.

N the morning of March II, 1868,
FitZ-Hugh Lees bugler sound
y ed shoots and saddles in the
~ bivouac on the Rappahannock
rs the first call for that famous fight
ing brigade to pitched encounter. Al
sthough it was the second year of the
war, there had been no real fighting on
Shorseback in the east up to that date,
except between mere handfuls Of men
an outpost skirmish. Jeb Stuart had
Poften ridden on daring raids in 1862,
abut never yet crossed sabers with a foe
Nvorthy Of his steel.
The armies of Robert E. Lee and
Joe Hooker lay on opposite banks of
the Rappahannock, Hooker getting his
ranks in trim to cross over and pass
the flank Of Lee on the way to Rich
smond. But the river was patrolled on
sfhe southern bank by Stuart's alert
horsemen. These must be cleared
AWAY before HOokers advance set face
southwark or the movement would be
sa1iscovered at the start. Fitz Lees
smain camp was at Cu!peper Court
House, some miles back from the river.
His strongest guard stood watch at
sKelly's ford, the best crossing Of the
s1egion above Fredericksburg.
Hooker ordered General William W.
saAverell to ride out with his brigade Of
1900 troopers and smash Fitz Lees
fbrigade. But they had clever scouts
SIN the camps of the ArmySof Northern
virginia. Averell had barely left his
SCENTS on the north bank when General
Robert E. Lee sent a telegram from
Headquarters at Fredericksburg to his
snephew, putting him on his guard, and
Thy nightfall Of the 10th Fitz Lees own
sscouts brought word that the riders in
blue were only six miles from Kelly's
lord and aiming for that crossing.
Fitz-Hugh Lee kept twenty sharp
Dhooters at the ford regularly and i'm
EDediately sent down forty more at
zGallop. The sharpshooters had built
pits for cover and lay awake all night
sto meet the enemy The ford was OBJ
1tructed with fallen trees and the op-
posite approach barricaded with a net
work of stout limbs and saplings hewn
TO sharp point. Averelps advance
guard twice tried the ford about a. m.
son the 18th and was driven back. FL
z0ally Averell picked twenty men from
his brigade and, calling upon Lieuten-

ant S. A. Brown of Troop G., First
Rhode Island cavalry, told him to
Gross that ford and not return until so
@oTdered. When Brown reached the
sniddle Of the current. he had but six
4een followers and, making rush,
1eached the eneEy's pits with but two
nen at his back. But the daring fell
lows had made such good fight with
their carbines that the sharpshooters
aEeueated, and Brown captured twenty
i've -belated ones whose horse holders
a0tampeded and left them without
amounts.

The stream. The current was very swift,
and in order to prevent wetting the ar

Each In His Own Tongue.

Each In His Own Tongue.
A fire, mist and planet,
A crystal and a cell:
A jellydsh and a saurian
And caves where the cave men dwell;
Then sense of law and beauty
And face turned from the clod-
Some call 1t evolution,
And others call 1t God.
A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe. rich tints Of the cornfields
And the wild geese sailing high, =
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the goldenrod-.
Some call it autumn,
And others call it God.
Like the tide on crescent sea beach,
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come yelling and surging in,
Come from the mystic ocean,
Whose rim no foot has trod-
Some of us call it longing,
And others call it God
A picket frozen on duty,
A mother starved for her brood,
Socrates drinking the hemlock
And Jesus on the rood:
The million who. humble and nameless
The straight. hard pathway trod-
Some call 1t conservation,
And others call it God.

GRANGE CONFERENCES.

Valuable Line of Work.

Michigan Taking the Lead In Most
Valuable Line of Work.
Michigan state grange, under tho
careful direction Of its worthy master,
George B. Horton, is stepping into the
front rank as an efficient farmers or
ganization. More new oranges were
organized in that state last year than
in any other. 1t has more grange halls
owned by the oranges. It is proving
Of vast helpfulness to the farmers in
matters of legislation. The latest idea
is to hold grange conferences through
out the state, much after the custom of
the farmers institutes. Assignments
have been made for series Of nearly
200 meetings in aid Of uniformity in
grange work and to assist all oranges,
new and old, in the way of essential
methods to grange success. These con-
ferences are supposed to be so located
as to be convenient for all members
from all oranges to attend. In behalf
OF the state grange proficient confer
ence conductor will assist at each meet
ing. A considerable portion of each
programme is to be made up from as
signments to local people, and discus
sion will be general. -.
ALI conferences are intended to b,
closed sessions. All parts of grange
work will be considered. The idea Is q
good one for adoption In every state.

My Mothers Good Old Times.

MOtnef>S OOO0 O1O times.
On my head the frost is gath'ring with
the thinning Of the years;
On my features are the records of a thou
sand hopes and fears;
In my checkbook there is written that
which forty years ago
Would have made my being tingle with q
wild, exultant glow;
But, alas, within my spirit there's an
ever present ache
For the old corn beef and cabbage that
my mother used to make.
remember when I wandered DER the
hills in boyish glee,
And the dinner horns loud echo brought
no boding thoughts to me;
I was young, and l was happy, and nv
stomach ne'er went back
On single proposition that my teeth
would dare attack!
Never thought I of dyspepsia as charged
the jelly cake
And the old corn beef and cabbage that
my mother used to make.
But the years have brought prosperity;
the servants in my halls
Keep their stra1ning ears a-Quiver for the
faintest of my calls;
I have eaten Of the latest; have drunk
the richest cup,
Just to realize at last that these have
used my stomach up.
And I'd give my vast possessions to be
able to partake
OF the old corn beef and cabbage that my
mother used to make
All the years I've sought the dollar, strug-
gled upward slow and sure, IL
With my pocket growing wealthy ana my
stomach growing poor;
Every year I find my table more with
luxuries replete;
Every year I find that fewer are the
things that can eat,
TIL the pathway back to childhood often
times I yearn to take
10 the old corn beef and cabbage that my
mother used to make
