SPREAD OAK GRANGE.
Stapleton's Store.
On lust Friday it was otir privilege
and our pleasure to attend tho Grange
at Stapleton’s stare, called very appro
priately Spread Oak Grange, for here
several large oaks stretch out their
sheltering arms and canopy under their
protecting pavilion the immediate sur
roundings of the tasteful hall. The
hail is anew one, and while it is not
spacious, it is well finished, furnishing
a cosy place for meeting, with ante
room, and with a verandah above, that
overlooks the grounds and tho delight
ful prospect in the farther distance.
As we stood there looking at the throng
below, and out on the bare fields and
the brown forresfcs beyond them, we
could not help thinking,what a beautiful
picture this would he in the glad sum
mer time, with the green corn waving
in the soft wind—teeming vegetation
everywhere full of the promises of fruit
time, and this glorious picture of na
ture alive and aglow with sunlight, en
cased by tho a Imiratiou and gratitude
of a rural people.
This is the first hall that has been
built by a Grange in the county, and
the only one, and below is a store room
for grange supplies. But lam a little
a head of the music. In a short time J
after I arrived I was cordially welcom
ed, and invited into the Grange Meet
ing by Capt. I. F. Adkins. Wo found
that there was quite a number already i
arrived, and still they continued to pour j
in until the room was full to overflow
ing. Col. Jas. Stapleton was the Alas-;
tor of this Grange and is a working
man. Capt. Adkins and son, and a
gentleman we <lid not know, formed a
musical trio, with flute and violins, that
was nothing less than inspiring. There
was an initiation and it was well con
ducted. Several parties were called up
"it to speak, Air. -T. G. Jordan among
the rest, lie simply stated that he was
no speaker, hut said that his heart was j
made glad by the interest di splayed by
this Grange, superinduce ! by the con
trast with his own. Air. Kelly, of Gbi
son or near there, made some very ap
propriate remarks, and f.o did Col.!
.Slapleton, in encouragement to hi”.'
Grange.

A BRIGHT EXAMPLE AM)
A REAUII PUL ACT.
Kin 1 acts well direnfe 1. alw tvs make |
us feel that the prompting influence j
springs from the heart and apuro mind ; I
more than that, are they not, like beau j
tiful lights, that in their reflex give l
back to their lustrous fountain, a purer,!
rarer radience, even than wvi and its a mi- j
naked? ‘ t Inirity is like tho bounty of
God. It is like the soft perfume ! j
breath of spring time, for it not only
chases away tho gloom of winter and |
woos you with its welcome, thrice hearty I
hut it sends thrilling through you,!
its invigorating flood tide of love and [
hope, budding hope that lives on and J
on, till it blooms i.t a batter land, and j
scatters its incense on the atmosphere
of eternal lo ve.
But to my story. There is a little ,
girl in this place of ah mt ten sum-!
mars that has been busying herself
making a quilt for some time.; per
haps her grandmother gave her a st itch
now and then. She gave liar encour
agement often. She is a bright child
with bright hair, and a bright face;
with a heart full of tho loved ones at
home; but it reaches farther out,'and
in her holidays she bethought herself
how she could be most happy by mak
ing others so.
Site sold the quilt, and with tho pro
cion) proceeds she bought the pastor’s
children each a present, perhaps not in
absolute value so priceless, but in the
wealth of her inuoeent, pure, benevo-l
lent being, and in the grateful leruem- j
brances thus germinated, they will grow i
into incalculable treasure
loss beneficence;
Not that they worn needy, not flm but'
they were her dear pastor's ohiMre’n.!
and sha was one of tin; lambs odAs
flock, that ho had led “by too still Jj-i
ters.” _ _ 4.

CHRISTMAS TUBE.
On Christmas IP'S as was previon dy
annonneed, there ras a Christmas tree
arranged for tno children, an I at an
early hour the Pythian Hall was lit up
with light resplendent, gleaming oiutim
decorations that adorned the beairfcful
green holly, and |he many presents
that had been placed there by tits hands
of kind, considerate friends, by pa
rents, and many others who never for
get wiiat they owe to childhood and its
happiest hours ; and children were not
alone the recipients of favors, but the
young ladies for the most part received
souvenoira which-lio doubt they will
treasure a3 sacred mementoes of the
eventful occasion, and the donors—
j gifts prompted as they wore no don it by
j abiding esteem. —ofteut mas perchau te
| by a higher feeling, if they ever find
out who gave them, which they will be
j most likely to do. The young men too
! received a few toys, and occasionally a
! a rag doll. Such things at sucii a time
j will of course cause them to treasure
such favors as precious gifts.
There was a htryethrowj present, but
we are sorry indeed that sum: 1 Ullin girls
were kept away, because they were
either overlooked, or left out hun t col' i.
Below there was a sumptu its sniper
an t light gleamed on the ricaly carve i
I ware and costly glass that held rare
viands and delicacies as well as
l moats elegantly prepared. Airs. A. K. !
: Patterson was the presiding genius of I
this bountiful and well arrange 1 feast. |
j and to her much credit is due for kind- j
ness as well as her skill and tasij o.i ;
the inviting occasion.
Wo think the plan abpto 1 at tat
door ot cutting olf gentleman, an 1 i
huddling t iem up: here, while tho la lies i
passed in alone, obstructing the way of
other la lies, c m.sing gentlemen to stand
and step about on each other, and non
turning them in like lost sheep, was
nothing less than horrid and uuumcly.
And then a gentleman for an hour after
wards could not go a tywhere ah > it , he
guarded gateway of tins uallowe-l lid!,
without being collate l and jerked about i
lues he was au eioaped gaiicy-siave.

Tuere was a splendid sermon from Dr.
Phillips. lie entered into an elaborate
disour.se, and illustration of .vhat was
meant by oracles as given to the jews
in olden time, showing conclusively
taht they were favored—the favored of
(l od, and that they were responsible for
thn great privileges and promises that
had been showered upon them, inas
much as there has boon a way opened
up for them, “because unto you are
given the oracles. 1 ’ Ho showed hmv
that the heathen had never received the
oracles, or the plan and means of sal
vation, and consequently could not em
brace what had never been put in their
reach, and preseuten to us in a striking
light the importance of our not neglee-'
ting, what had been so beneftciontly
showeron on us by a gracious provi
dence. W'e have not space to follow
