HAY CREEK GRANGE, P. OF Hon last
Saturday evening, we had the pleasure of
paying visit to Hay Greek Grange. We
were pleased with tho zeal manifested.
They took right hold Of Grange questions,
discussing them with judgment, and perfect
good feeling. The discussions were carried
on in both English and German. This
Grange has recently erected q stable for
their horses to stand in during the meeting
Of the Grange, showing that they are deter
mined to carry out tho Grange principle Of
kindness to animals, as we'll IS the other
teachings Of the order. The stable is fur
nished with two rows of stalls, is 25x40
feet, and furnishes room for twenty -four
horses; we noticed that there were only
two stalls empty, and were informed that
the attendance upon the Grange was not as
large IS usual. The Grange contemplate
the building Of a hall Of their own, and al
ready have q fund started for that purpose.
Rudolph Kruger is Master Of this Grange
and is wide awake in the work Mr.. Peter
Erber is Secretary, and Peter Moser, Jr.,
Overseer. The members evidently enjoy
the social part of their meetings. They
are making arrangements for the starting of
= singing school At once, that they may be
the better prepared to sing and enjoy the
noble songs Of the Patrons. If some Of the


wise heads, who are constantly prophesying
the death Of the Grange movement, could
look in for one evening on the work OF
this Grange, or for that matter Of a dozen


others that we have visited, they would


probably conclude that there is pretty


nearly as much to the Grange as to any 9th


er organization known among men.

vote against it; and the vexed question: therefore,
still remains unsettled and will probably remain
60 for tho present, as the political question will
now absorb ali others. The struggle over the
University is nov changed into a struggle for
political supremacy. The importance Of tie
crisis ia indicated by the extraordinary e1ertioDs
to procure the attendance Of absentees in tirno

and members having even been brought
from Paris BY special coneeyances. Mean
while, the defeat Of the bill has not result
ed in any advantage to the Catholic party; On
the other hand, it may provo a fatal blow to the
purposcs Of Cardinal Cullen. The feeling
in England against new sectarian inatitu~
tions is 80 intense that it is doubtful
whether any measure giving to tho Catholics
e1c1usive control OF 3 university supported by
tho State can ever pass, no matter what party
may be in power. The proposition made by h1r.
Gladstone was one which could not but COM
mend itself to all liberal and thinking people,
and would have secured to Ireland one Of tho
best Of university systems. The proposition OF
the Cardinal was, in effect, q demand for tho
union OF Church and State-tho most unpopular
project [tho Church being Catholic) which could
be put forth ut the present time. When the
question next comes up the decision will proba-
bly, leave the Irish Catholics farther away from
the attainment Of their desires than ever.

Morally, mentally, physically, prema-
ture marriage is mistake among wo.
men, and yet every day we see this mis-
take sanctioned by the Offices of relig-
ion. blessed by the consent Of friends,
and entered into with all the eciGf which
should be reserved for a triumph rather
than trial.


Morally" it is a mistake because few
women are fit, at an age when they
should be "under authority to rule
household prudently; since no atmos-
phere is so dangerous to an undeveloped
soul as that of the almost absolute pow
er which is generally delegated to the
young wife. She may now do whatever
is pleasing in her own eyes. She has
been freed from parental restraint, and
any other has a circumference so unde-
fined that is narrowed and enlarged ac-
cording to the will or moral sense Of
her who draws il. Angels might fear
to walk in such a broad freedom as is
given by love and sufferance to the ma
jority of our young married women-
women by courtesy, children in the re-
gard Of both law and wisdom.


Mentally is a mistake, because with
marriage all mental growth is suspended
in the large majority Of women. Edu-
ucation, being regarded as simply a
means towards an end, is abandoned as
soon as the end is obtained. 1t may be
argued that all education from such 4
motive is a mistake to begin with. True
but then it is one which keeps the cul-
prit in the society OF wisdom, it is just
possible the mind under such influence
might arrive at a juster conception OF
its worth and value.


physically" it is mistake, because
at tie early age at which many mari
ages are made. the human form has not
arrived at perfect strength; and duties
and responsibilities are laid upon it for
which nature has made no adequate pro-
vision. Vitality is destroyed quicker
than it is generated, and early and rapid
decay of both mind and body are the
results. Then the woman is said TO die
s.by the visitation of God, though it Is
nine cases out of ten it is the only the
simple and inevitable result of laws of
nature pitilesely and persistently broken.

If YOU Young men,do you
ever think how much real courtesy will
do for you! Some of the greatrst men
were ever cautious in this respect
When the Duke of Wellington was
sick. the last he took was little tea.
On his servant handing it to him in a
saucer, and asking if he would have it,
the Duke replied, Yes, if you please.
These were his last words. How much
kindness and courtesy are expressed by
them! He who had commanded great
armies, and was long accustomed to the
tone of authority, did not overlook the
courtesies of life. All. how many boys
do! What rude tone of command
they often use to their brothers and sis
tiers, and sometimes to their mothers !!
They order so. That is ill-bred, and
shows, to say the least, q want OF
thought. In all your home talk remem-
Der If you please" To all who wait
upon or serve YOU, believe that ''If you
please will make you better served than
all the cross or ordering words In the
whole dictionary. Do not forget three
little words-':It you please.

commence so dark journey of life, and
then had her two children attired in
their brightest and sweetest costumes,
brought before her; and so, with their

1t lies there alone-it is rusty and faded
With a patch on the elbow, hole i'll
the side,
But we think of the brave boy who
wore i, and ever
Look on it with pleasure and touch it
with pride.
A history clings to it-over and over,
We see proud youth hurried off to
the fray,
With his form like the oak and his eye
like the eagles,
How gallant he rode in the ranks of
the Gray.
1t is rough, it is worn, it is tattered III
places,


But / love it the more for the story it
bears
A story of courage in struggle with sor-
And heart that bore bravely its
burden Of cares;
1t is ragged and rusty, but alb it was
shining
In the silkiest sheen when he wore 1t
away, -,
And his smile was as bright as the glad
summer morning,
When he sprang to his place IN the
ranks of the ''Gray.
There's rip in the sleeve, and the col
lar is tarnished.
The buttons all gone with their gilt
ter and gold.
'Tis thing of the past, and we reyer-
emily lay it
Away with the treasures and relics Oh
old,
AS the gifts of a love, solemn, sweet
and unspoken
Are cherished as leaves from long
vanished day,
We will keep the old jacket for the sake
Of the loved one,
Who rode in the van OF the ranks OF
the "Gray-"
Shot through with bullet-right here
on the shoulder,
And down there the pocket is spin
tered and soiled,
All more, see the lining is stained and
discolored {.
Yes, blood drops the texture lave
stif'ened and spoiled.
1t came when he rode at the head OF
the column,
Charging down in the battle one
deadliest day,
When squadrons Of foemen were bro
ken asunder,
And victory rode with the ranks OF
the "Gray."
It's memory is sweetness and sorrow
comming,ed
To me it is precious more precious
than gold,
In the rent and the shot-hole q volume
is written,
On the stains on the lining is agony
told,
That was ten years ago when III llfes
sunny morning,
He rode with his comrades down INTO
the fray,
And the old coat he wore and the good
sword he welded
Were all that came back from the
ranks of the Gray
And it lies there alone; III reverence 1t
ever,


The patch on the elbow and the hole
in the side,
For a galanter heart never beat than
the loved one,
Who wore it with honor and soldlerly
pride.
Let me brush off the dust from its tat
ters and tarnish,
Let me fold it up closely and lay 1t
away,
Il is all that is left of the loved and the
lost one,
Who fought for the right in thera ranks
of the "Gray."

THE very remarkable success of the expert
ment of electipg woman as City Physician
of Springfield Mass, attracts much attention
in the journals. 1t is agreed on all hands
that she is faithful, efficient and capable Of
hcer, and she has introduced many reforms in
small matters connected with her Office show
ing considerable saving of expense to the
city as compared with the administration of
her male predecessors, who may have been
equally capable but were not so careful and
painstaking. The medical profession seems
to receive many more accessions of female
practitioners than the legal, probably because
its duties are not Of SO public nature. 1t is
undoubtedly difficult task for these pioneers
of their sex to acquire standing in their
chosen profession and requires much patience
and persistence, well supported by careful
study, tact and ability. Almost every consid-
cradle town in this country now has has one
or more woman physicians, and in many in
stances they are achieving, as at Springfield,
distinguished success. We have here at least
one woman, Mrs. Bucknell-the widow of a
physician-with whom medicine has been the
study of a lifetime, who has love and enthu-
siam for her profession, and who is quietly and
modestly winning business by deserving it.
We think such cases should receive encour-
agement and helping hand should be ex-
tended to every woman who is honestly and
fairly trying to enlarge the sphere of use
fulness of the sex in any honorable and re-
spectacle calling.
