JOB PRINTING NEATLY EXECUTED AT OOT<?e P H Y FROST, LAWSON, OORKKR GRAY. VOL. IH.i 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. ORGANIZATION —SI’BOUDINATE GRANGES. First Degree—Labor (matt), maid (woman). Second Degree—Cultivator (man), shepherdess (woman). Third Degree—Harvester (man), gleaner (woman). Fourth Degree—Husbandmen (man), matron (woman). STATE GRANGE. Fifth Degree—Pomona (Hope). Composed of Masters of subordinate granges and their wives who are mat rons. Past Masters and their wives who are matrons shall be honorary members and eligible to office, but not entitled to vote. NATIONAL GRANGE. Sixth Degree—Flora (Charity). Composed of Masters of State Gran ges and their wives who have taken the degree of Pomona. Past Masters of State Granges, aud their wives who have taken said degree of Pomona, shall be honorary members, eligible to office, but not entitled to vote. Seventh Degree—Cores (Faith). Members of the National Grange who have served one year therein may become members of this degree upon application aud election. It shall have charge A tii9 secret work of the order, 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 the Philadelphia Pres*,] ‘Doctor, what do you thing is the matter with my boy ?’ ‘Oh, it’s ouly a corrustified exegesis anti spasmodicolly emanating from the germ of the animal erfigerator, produc ing a paolific source of irritabilit, in the perecranial epidermis of the mental profundity.’ ‘Ah 1 That’s what I thought, but the old woman lowed ‘twas wor-rums !’ The death of Judge Chase closed up the last male of the family. Of six or 6even brothers, all have died before him, and all without issuo to perpetuate the nase, TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, IN Al 1 V \ NOE. 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 had lie lived properly.

JNO.II. p Four Goon Hamits.— Thero were four good habits a wiso man earnestly recommended in his counsels, and which he considered to be neces sary for the management of temporal concerns; and these aro punctuality, accuracy steadiness, and despatch.— Without tho first of these, time is wasted; without the second, mistakes the most hurtful to our own credit and interest and that of others may be com mitted ; without the third, nothing can be well done; and without the fourth, opportunities of great advantage are lost, which it is impossible to re call. a- ♦ ■ 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 May be Worth Preserving.—The •Medical TTome has the following recipes, which may be of value : A tea mad.) of chestnut leaves and drank in the place of water, will care the most obstinate case of dfopsy in a few days. , A tea made of ripe or dried whortle berries, and drank in the place of water,, is a sure and speedy cuic for a scrofu lous difficulty, however bad.
