PATBOSS OF HUSBANDRY.
Origin of the Farmers* Organization—
Its Work—Practical Poetry.
A ears ago the spark which kindled
this flame originated in Philadelphia,
and it caine about in this way : The
city of Brotherly Love was blessed
with a very wealthy citizen, who died
one day and bequeathed a large fortune
to his son. Now, the young man adored
chemistry, and realized the intimate re
lations that exist botweou tho cultiva
tion of the soil and his favorite study,
and in his enthusiasm ho determined
to start on a lecturing tour to the farm
ers of the West. In the mean time he
applied to William Saunders, Esq., the
founder of the Patrons of Husbandry,
who was then the editor of a horticul
tural journal, to ascertain by what
means he could call an audience of ag
riculturists. Mr. Saunders told him
there was no way to bring these widely
scattered men together. Living long
distances apart, removed from rail
roads and printing offices, they were
inaccessible as Selkirk or Juan Fernan
dez. From that hour Mr. Saunders
bent every energy to dcvelopc a plan
by which the husbandmen might bo
come powerful by union. He saw the
iron and steel men, also the sewing
machine and railroad men strong as
their own iron and steel, and he said :
‘We n.ust fight Satan with his own
weapons. The poor farmer is like the
single skirmisher—brought down by
the first sharpshooter of the enemy. —
Let us advance as an army. So far
their blows have fallen heaviest on
what are called the ‘middle men.’ lowa
who leads the van, last year saved
$150,000 iu her purchases of agriculti
ral implements, By means of this order
the farmer bought direct from the
manufacturer, while the middle men or
agent had to step aside. In the Fall
or early Winter of 1867 a small knot
of thinking men combined in the office
of the Superintendent of the Agricul
tural Grounds in Washington, and at
this meeting a part of the ritual was
formed.

who have served one year therein may
become members of this degree upon
application aud election. It shall have

and shall fee a odmt of impeachment of
& u officers of the Rational Grange.
Members of this degree are honorary
member* of the Rational Grange, and
are eligible to office therein, but arc
not entitled to vote,
During the year 1872 new granges
were formed to the number of one thou
sand one hundred and live, and since
the order was introduced there b&vo
been issued for gratuitous distribution,
one million seven hundred and five thousand
sheets of printed matter, and not a single
sheet has been franked since the order
"8 ALUS POPULI BUPREM A X. 33 X EST O. ”
WAYNESBORO’, OA., THURSDAY, JUNE 12, is7.l.
i was started, and there is not a State or
Territory where the order is not known.
■ In regard to the standing of the States,
I lowa stands first, and South Carolina
next.
There have been printed and gratuit
ously distributed during the year, by
the" National Grange, 511,500 Bryan
Fund publications (1 toSpp. pamphlets);
20,000 manutls, bound in cloth; 25,-
| 100 circulars; 72,400 blanks; 7,800
keys to manuals ; and 30,000 constitu
tions.
The ceremonies connected with the
session of a grange are extremely poe
tic and beautiful. On a remote platform
in the hall where the meeting is held
may be seen the three women whose
i cliarmitig band must consecrate the new
| aspirant. The first is Flora, named
from mythology. Her brow is bound
with flowers, and if the proper season is
at hand they trail in garlands from her
garments, which are as fleecy as the
clouds. From the profusion before her
sho selects a specimen and presents it
to the new accession. To the innocent
young girl she presents a lily. To the
juiceless old bachelor a sprig of rue.
The woman who represents Ceres is
usually a matron. Her ripe forehead is
surmounted with a crowu of straw,
which is dotted with golden grain. She
bestows upon her candidate a handful
of ;her treasures, or, perhaps, an car
of. Orn, after her part of the ceremony
is over. Last, but not least, corncs Po
mona, symbolic of the riches of har
vest and Autumn. A glorious woman
she should bo. When the candidate has
passed her hands nothing more can be
done for him. He is a full fledged Pa
tron of Husbandry. Tbc important
question comes up in the business order
of the grange of this kind. “Is any
member sick or in distress ?” This is a
specimen of some of the items. As the
i meeting is about to adjourn, the Worthy
| Master says: ‘As we are again to
■ separate and mingle oucc more with the
! world, let us not forget the precepts of
our order. Lot us aim to add dignity
to labor. In our dealing with our fellow
citizens let us be honest. Be just and
fear not. Avoid intemperance in eating
and drinking and language ; also, iu
work and recreation. Whatever you
attempt to do, strive to do it well. Let
us be quiet, peaceful citizens. Feed the
hungry, help the fatherless and the
widows, and keep yourselves unspotted
from the world.’
Wc will suppose this grange to be
assembled in Illinois. In the mean
time some farmer sharper than the rest
has found out that mischief is brewing
in Chicago in the shape of a ‘corner in
grain.’ Instantly funds are voted to
send a trusty man to the scene ot ac
tion to report the doings of the sharpers.
The farmer then is advised whether to
keep his hard earned treasures. At
present the grange agents are every
where; they are slaughtering the ‘mid
dle-men’ by tens of thousand. If a
poor woman wants a sewing machine,
! she applies to her grunge. This almost
1 perfect organization is sweeping over
vast territory, in comparison to all oth
er orders, like a tornado or prairie lire.
Its accessions of membership arc esti
mated at the rate of from three to five
! hundred per day.—[“ Olivia'si" Letter to

A NAUR ADIS.
This system of laborious idleness is
pleasantly noticed in the following ar
ticle from the Dublin University ][aga
znlr. The subject is merely alluded
to; for both the-English,and especially
the fluent French language, abounds
with instances of transposed combina
tions which amount to real wit and
learning:
“Addison gives a somewhat humorous
description of au anagram mat ist, who
shut himself up for some mouths for
the purpose of twisting the name of his
mistress into as many of those conceits
as he possibly could, but was astonish
ed to find, after all his mental threes,
that lie had misspelt her name,and that)
consequently his anagrams were all faul
ty and insufficient. Some writers ap
pear to have had a peculiar facility in
composing anagrams, for a French poet
one day sent liis mistress no less than
three dozen of them, all written upon
her name, which was Magdelaiuc. Ana
grams were as frequently sarcastic,how
ever, as complimentary; and thus Sca
ligcr might have felt the palpable hit
in having his name rendered into ‘sac
rilege.’ Sir Johu Wiat might have en
joyed the anagram as a coinplimmt
which said Wiat was a wit, and this
latter was a very simple example. The
ingeuious writer who discovered in
Pilate’s question,’ Quid est veritas ?'
(What is truth?) its own answer, l Est
vir qui adesf (It is the man who is here),
found one of the best and neatest ana
grams which has yet been written. Of
those which have been reckoned among
tho best of these literary trifles, are
Maria Toucliet, Je charms tout (I charm
all) ; and another upon Eleanor Davis,
who belonged to the Court of Charles
1., aud pretended to be possessed of su
pernatural and prophetie powers. To
substantiate this assertion on her purt,
she anagrammantized her name, Elean
or Davis, iuto ‘Reveal, O Daniel!’ and
this, though faulty in regard to having
too much by a letter, and too little by
an , was sufficient iu her mind to jus
tify her assumption. Arraigned be
fore the Court of High Commission,
the judges found that reasoning had no
effect upon her, all attempts to dis
prove by Scripture her claims to inspi
ration being of no avail, till at length
cne of the deans took a pen and wrote
another and more excellent anagram
upon her name : Dame Eleanor Davis,
never so mad a ladie ! This had the
; desired efl'ecl—the engineer being hoist
by his own petard—and put tho pro
photic lady in so despondent a state
! that she never afterwards put forth a
! claim to supernatural powers. The
i word ‘monastery’ has been a fruitful
source of anagrams, for it lias been twis
; ted and transposed into many different
; renderings,as Nasty Rome,More Nasty,
Stone Mary, Mean Story, Money arts,
Tory means, Many tears, No mastery,
j etc., etc.
A Fisherman's Response. —The
hard sense and dogged courage of the
fishermen who inhabit the Isles of
Shoals, off Portsmouth, were never bet
ter illustrated than the reply which
broke spontaneously from one of their
number, m church, one summer after
noon, when the preacher had been
trying to illustrate the necessity of de
pendence upon uu invisible help strong
er than.any arm of flesh. “Supposing,
my brethren,” said the missionary, that
any of you should be overtaken in the
bay by a northeast storm, your hearts
trembling with fear, and nothing but
death before you—whither would your
thoughts tnrri ? What would you do?
“Do ?” growoled a practical old skipper,
who, appreciating the situation, had
followed the minister with such breath
less interest that for the moment he
forgot where ho was and considered
the cpicstion addressed to himself per
sonally—“.Do ? I’d hi’st the foresail
and send aWay for Sqnnm r
i M
To Young Men, on Marriage.
Dr. Crosby says : “Tho true girl
lias to be sought for. Sho does not pa
rade herself as show-goods. She is not
fashionable. Generally she is not rich.
But, O! what a heart she lias when you
find her 1 so large, and pure, and woman
ly ! When you see it, you ’wonder if
those showy things outside were really
women. If you gain her love, your two
thousand are a million. She’ll not ask
vou for a carriage or a first-class house.
She’ll wear simple dresses and turn
them when necessary, with no vulgar
magnificent to frown upou her economy.
She'll keep everything neat and nice in
your sky-parlor, and give you such a
welcome when you come home, that
you'll think your parlor is nicer than
ever. She'll entertain true friends on
a dollar, and astonish you with the new
thought, how very little happiness de
pends on money ! She’ll make you
love home (if you don’t you’re a brute),
and teach you how to pity, while you
scorn, a poor fashionable society that
thinks itself rich, and vainly tries to
think itself happy. Now do not, I pray
you, sfiy any more, ‘1 can’t afford to
marry.’ Go, find the true woman, and
you can ! Throw away that cigar, burn
up that switch caue, he sensible your
self and seek your wife iu a sensible
way.”
Tho surviving brother and partner of
the late lion. James Brooks speaks
thus strongly and foeliti gly of him, and
of certain recent animadversions : Wo
had hoped to have said no m ire, as
Mr. Brooks’ brother partner and sur
vivor, of Mr. James Brooks and the
Credit Mobilier, but these renewed at
tacks, now upon the dead, cill for more,
arid when our heart is less bruised and
torn than it is, by one of the greatest
afflictions of our lives—when nature
has had titn to reassert her powers
long enough to remember that death,
though the common lot and messen
ger to us all, gives no privileges of as
sault or libel—we hope, with God’s
help, to be able to defend one most
cruelly assailed aud most deeply wrong
ed. Mr. Brooks lived long enough to
forget, if not to forgive his slanderers,
in and out of Congress, and for the last
four or five weeks of his life he gave no
utterance or wish in regard to-them ex
cept to cheok those who felt these at
tacks upon him even more than he felt
them himself. We have read and re
read and studied every published line
aud word in regard to the Credit Mo
bilier. Mr. Brooks has laid open his
heart and record before us, and before
God we affirm that everything said
against his integrity as a man, every
word uttered as to his untruth, selfish
ness, or prevarication, every act of his
upon this question that does not redound
to his honor as a public man, is alike a
calumny and a libel. We sat silent
under it when Mr. Brooks lived, but
the time for silejice has passed.
The Fruits of Intemperenc*. — In
spite of the warnings of his friends aud
the earnest labors of throe generations
of the temperance men of this county,
William Cappage, of Missouri, has want
only hastened upon his journey to that
bourne whence no traveller, etc., at the
comparatively early age of 105. For
ninety years he chewed, and for ninety
years ho took his “regular” thrice per
day. Logically, he ought to have died
in the post house after costing the town
enough to send all the male inhabitants
to West Point for a series of. years.
"But he didn’t. 110 filled more town
offices than Andrew Johnson, during
his life, left a handsome property at
his death, and, although his habits m >st
have been deplored by all good people,
is said to have boen universally regrot
ed. As the details sriven are all that
hirm yet come to hand, wo have no re
liable data on which to form a calcula
tion as to how old bo might have been

Orion of the Word “Lady.*’—
Formerly in England, when the afflu
ent lived all the year round at their
mansions iu the country, tho lady
of the manor distributed to her poor
neighbors, witli her own hands, onoe a
week, or oftenor, a certain quantity of
bred,and she was called by them “Leff
day,” that is, in the Saxon, tho bread
giver. Those two words wore in time
corrupted, and the meaning is now as
little known as the practice which gave
riso to it ; yet it is from that hospit
able custom that, to this day, the ladies
of that kingdom afono serve the meat
at their own tabic.
Tub Leprosy in San Francisco^—
Dr. David J. Lee, formerly a medical
officer in the Sandwich Islands, writes
to the San Francisco Chronicle that he
finds lepers in the streets in that city,,
in the Chinese quarter, and oa the
wharves. Several years ago, he learned
of several cases of leprosy in San Fran
cisco, but the victims to the loathsome
disease were generally kept concealed.
Now they are to be found in publio
places, and there is danger that the
plague may spread unless strict meas
ures are adopted for its control. In
malty of the islan Is of the Pacific, lep
rosy has made alarming ravages ot late
years, and Dr. Lee asserts that in all
those instances it can be distinctly
traced to the Chinese origin. In some
of the Hawaiian Islands it has required
the.whole energy of the Government
to control even the well-marked victims,,
and thero it is properly known as the
“Chinese disease.” Leprosy is deemed
incurable. Isolation of its victims has
been found the only means of preven
ting its spread, and death the only re
lief to the suffering it brings. Still, it
is not an acute form of disease, nor ia
it contagious in tho ordinary accepta
tion of the term. But it will spread
and increase unless care is taken to re
move those who arc attacked by it from,
association with the well,a course which
has generally been pursued in all ages
and in all countries where it has made
its appearance
