Lines Written on Parting with an
Only Brother for the First Time.
The following beautiful lines were
published in a neighboring State
some years since. We reproduce
them as their beautiful sentiments
will meet with a sympathetic re
sponse within the breast of many
ol our readers:
O! farewell brother, ere you go upon the
rugged way,
To stem the tide of human strife—to struggle
day by day ;
A long, perhaps a last, adieu—O bitter, part
ing knell,
But late has so decreed k i 80 brother fare
tbe well.
You launch yon 1 bark upon the wave where
storms and tempests sweep,
And close beneath the sparkling waves, the
dark aud treacherous deep,
And though, perchance, you press the cup of
pleasure to your lips,
Yet anguish, following in iia train, may reach
you ere you eip.
The luring world to thee looks bright—no
cloud it now reveals—
But, oh, remember, many a thorn the fragrant
rose conceals ;
And should you find the toilsome path of life
deny you rest,
Be not desponding--life is but a troubled
scene at best.
Would that we coil’d recall the hours we
spent in childhood’s day,
While gamboling through the wild green
wood, or sporting at our play ;
But, idle dreams, away, away, ’tis past, for
ever past—
Thus everything we love in life, is torn from
us at last.
But. often as the sun shall sink, behind the
purple hill.
So oft the cherished absent one my every
thought shall fill ;
And when I hear the huntsmans gun re-echo
o’er tbe lea.
Or list his mellow, winding horn, ’twill bring
thee back to me.
Oft wilt thou be remembered, too, at evening,
when we meet
Around the cheerful fireside, and view the
vacant seat ;
A shade will steal o’er every brow—each
eye gleam with a tear.
To know that thou art with strangers now—
to know thou art not here.
Farewell, then brother, since you go to min
gle with the tide,
Wherein grim disappointment lurks, and
blighted hopes abide ;
You go, yon go. mid vain regrets, in other
lands to dwell ;
May roses ever 6t:ew thy path— O, brother,
fare-thee-well ! Irene.
One of tbe largest factories in the
world for the manufacture of artifi
cial butter is situated at Hamilton,
Ontario. This factory has a capaci
ty for making eight or ten thousand
pounds a day. All the appoint
ments, says a New York paper, are
convenient, nothing could be sweet
er or cleaner than the rooms, the
walls being well made and painted
with shellac varnish. Tanks, churns
and presses are in separate rooms.
Great care is exercised in the selec
tion of fat. The difficulties of se
lecting good color and “ grain ” re
main to be overcome. The propri
etors use about fifty pounds of the
very best milk to every two hun
dred pounds of suet oil, and churn
it in an hour by steam power; it is
afterwards cooled in vats, and then
worknd by a single lever until all
the milk is removed and the salt is
worked in, when it is packed with
ladles in tubs. The butter thus
made sells at from sixteen to twenty
eight cents a pound wholesale.

MABEL CLIFTON’S REWARD.
A Yew Year’s Story.
BY FRANCIS HKXSHAW BADEN.
Mabel Clifton sat before one of
the windows of her father’s magnif
icent mansion. A servant stood in
wailing. She was making out a
list of articles wanted for the next
day. Coming footsteps arrested
her attention. She raised her eyes
from the paper and looked out.—
The crimson flush deepened on her
bright young face, as “ Oh !” in a
tone of deep regret, escaped her
lips.
“ John lam not ready to finish
this list and shall not send for an
hour yet. If you have anything
else to attend to go and do it.”
Mr. Clifton had been reading in a
distant part of the room. Hearing
the door close after John’s
ure, he asked :
“ You have not forgotten to send
for those wines I spoke of, my
dear?”
“ He has not gone yet, papa.”
“ Ah, well, do not make it too
late. They will be very busy to
night,” her father said, turning
again to his paper.
“ Papa !”
“ Well, my dear ?”
“A boon, papa. Promise to
grant me, this last day of the year,
my boon.”
“ What is it, love ?”
“ Promise to grant it first.”
“Not in ignorance, my child.”
“ Trust me, father.”
She had an earnest, eager, noble
look in her eyes that her father did
trust in, and he promised her.
“ Well, well; you shall have your
way.”
“ Father, let us have no wine to*-
morrow.”
“ What! No, no ; I cannot grant
you that. No wines! why, child,
have you gone crazy ? For twenty
five years past I have offered my
friends wines on New Year’s day,
and never have felt that I was do.
ing anything wrong. What has
come over you ?”
“ Oh, father, I have never felt
just right when offering young men
wine; and just now when I was
making out the order for John, I
chanced to raise my eyes just as Ed
gar Livingston was passing. I
needed but a glance to see that he
was very much under the influence
of wine. Father, his mother is a
widow ; he her only child. Ail her
earthly hopes are in him. Will
they not be wrecked, think you, if
he indulges in the wine cup ?” To
morrow he will make many calls.—
Beautiful women will offer him
wine. He will not have the courage,
possibly the wish to decline.
morrow night most likely then, he
will return home to fill his mothei’s
heart with sorrow. I wish not to
contribute one drop to that bitter
CUD.”
“My dear, whether we have
wines or not, with him, it will be
all the same, as you say he will
make many calls.”
“ Father, if you had a son, you
would feel differently. Think how
many youug men of the brightest
promise have tailed, nay, worse,
won truly disgrace and early graves
from the love of wine.
“ I feel as if Edgar Livingston
stood on the brink of a fearful prec
ipice. Father, stretch forth your
strong arm and draw him back—if
only one step, and for a moment.—
If we do not save him, it will be a
comfort to think we urged him not
forward on his fatal course.”
“Mabel, you are deeply interested
in the youDg man. Am I to con
clude —”
“ Nothing more than tor his own
and his mother’s sake. I would en
deavor to save him,'or any other
young man in his danger, father.
Here will be one of his first calls.—
Probably I can detain him long
enough to prevent bis visiting other
places where he would be exposed
to great temptations. Oh, father,
grant me this ?”
“ Really dear, I feel disposed to
do as you wish, but so many will be
very much disappointed. Besides,
I have not the courage to make this
great change, and set five hundred
tongues to work speculating about
the cause of it. Some will declare
I’m about to fail; others that I have
grown penurious. Ah, what is it,
John ?”
Just then tho servant entered and
handed him an envelope, saying :
“ A telegram, sir.”
Mr. Clifford tore it quickly open,
read it and exclaimed :
“ Really, this is too bad ! But I
must go. here !” And hasti
ly writing a few words for a return
dispatch, he handed it to the ser
vant, and turning to Mabel said :
“ My old friend Hartwell is dying
and begs that I will hasten to him.
I cannot deny him. So you will have
to entertain my friends to-morrow,
and explain the reason of my fail
ing to see them, the first time for so
many years. And—well, dear, you
can do as you choose about the bill
of fare. As I shall not be at home
the folks will not hold me responsi
ble for what happens iu my absence.”
“ Oh thank you, papa, for permis
sion to do as I choose. I will wil
lingly take any unkind remarks, if
auy one feels like making them.—
But I feel confident that all who
have sons will give me their kindest
wishes for withholding temptation
from their boys. And as to the
young men, I shall try to make my
self so agreeable, and have our cook
to make the coffee so very fine, that
they will go away quite as well
pleased, and with their brains a
good deal clearer, than if I had en
tertained them with wines.”
Au hour after, Mr. Clifton was on
his way to his dyiDg friend.
Mabel sat down and wrote :
My Dear Flory : Come and
help me receive our friends to mors
row. Papa has been called away.
I must l\ave you with me, as lam
paiticularly anxious to have my re
ception a success. Lovingly,
Mabel.
“ Edgar likes Flory, I can plains
ly see, and I think she is not whol
ly iudifferent toward him. Togeth
er I think we can manage to keep
him here to-morrow, and thus save
his mother a great sorrow, most
likely,” said Mabel.
Mabel Clifton was one of the lov
liest girls in P . Friends won
dered that her heart had not yield
ed to someone of her many suitors.
They did not know she had no heart
to yield to any of those who sought
it.
The first season she appeared in
the select circle her father’s wealth
and position placed her, she met Er
nest Addison. He was a noble
looking man, talented, with mind
and heart alike filled with good,true
resolves. To Mabel he had been
very attentive, and she grew to love
him, feeling sure the time was not
far distant when he would come to
tell her of his** love. But months
rolled by, and he spoke not. Grad
ually his visits grew less frequent,
until they ceased. What it was
that had come between his love and
hers she could not think ; but she
felt perfectly sure he did lovo her,
and so, hoping that time would solve
the mystery and bring a balm to
her wounded spirit, she watched
and waited for the coming.
New year's day came beautiful
and bright. Mabel and her friend
Flory never looked lovlier. Mabel
had explained her wishes and fully
infused her own spirit into her fair
friend.
It was impossible for an indiffer
ent person not to feel their powers
of fascination. To Edgar Living
ston, who was one of their first
guests, they were quite irresistible,
lie lingered on, notwithstanding
the many efforts of a young friend
who accompanied him to draw him
away.
“ Do stay and help us,” said Ma
bel, and when Flory’s beautiful eyes
repeated the wish, Edgar yielded.
Few-, if any, went from Clifton
house dissatisfied. Everything
that heart, could desire or mind sug
gest in the way of delicacies and
luxuries of the season, Mabel offered
her guests. But as her father had
said, many tongues were busy spec
ulating about it, and in a few hours
it was widely known that Miss Clif
ton was having a “ temperance re
ceptiou.”
Eagerly Mabel’s eyes sought the
door on every new arrival! of guests.
She had hoped for tho coming of
one. But the hours passed, aud
when it grew late in the day the
hope faded and almost died out. She
had seated herself wearily in an
arm chair, when the same greeting
that had fallen on her ears many
times that day, “ Happy New Year,
Miss Clifton,” caused the bright
light to return to her eyes, the beau
tiful flush to her face, as she rose to
receive Ernest Addison. There
was an expression in his fine eyes,
when he recevied from her the fra
grant cup of coffee that relieved the
suspense of years. Her heart was
bounding with new hope.
Edgar Livingston had drawn
Flory to the window. They were
looking out on the passers-by. A
few moments, and reeliug along the
sidewalk, shouting and singing a
drinking song, came Edgar’s com
panion of tbe morning.
Flory turned from the sickening
sight. Edgar followed, saying:
“ But for you and Miss Clifton I
might have been of that party.”
And going up to Mabel, he said :
“ Miss Clifton, your slumbers to
night should be peaceful. You
have not helped to cloud either the
brain or the heart of any of your
friends to-day. Accept my warm
est thanks for having saved me
from feeling both.”
Edgar saw an expression in Er
nest’s eyes that made him think it
would be quite as agreeable to all
parties if he would' take Flory back
to the recess of the window, to the
piano or anywhere else out of hear
ing just then.
A few moments after, his voice
was blended with hers in a well
chosen duet.
Then Ernest told Mabel of the
love which had been hers since first
he knew her.
“ I came one night to lay my
heart before you. You had many
guests, and offered them wine. You
noticed not that I placed my glass
untouched on the table. I left ear
ly. I dared not woo the heart of
one who held such a fearful tempta
tion before me; why you will know
when I tell you the horrible truth.
My only brother went down to a
drunkard’s grave, the woman he
loved urging him on.
“ For a time mother and I had
won him from his fatal passion, lie
was doing well. We believed he
would fulfill the bright promise of
early youth. He grew to love a
beautiful girl. She was wild aud
thoughtless ; and one night, at a
party in her father’s house, she
urged him to drink.
“ One glass. Every one but you
takes wine,” she said.
“He resisted. She taunted him
about having to abstain entirely be
cause he had not tho self-control to
use wine in moderation. Ho yield
accepted the latal glass from her
hand, aud drank, first moderately,
then on and on in the old way, until
the end came—a ruined life, and a
mother’s broken heart.
“ Do you wonder that I fled from
you ? Every hour since yearning to
return, yet daring not.”
To day I heard what you were
doing, Eainsstly thanking God
that light had dawned upon you, I
hastened here to lay my heart be
fore the only woman I ever loved.
Will you be my w’ife, Mabel ?”
Her heart was too full of joy—
she could not tell him in words how
happy she was ; but her little hand
lay still in his. She raised her eyes
a moment, and he saw the love of
years beaming there. He needed
no other answer.
Judging from the low tone in
which the voices in the other room
had fallen, I think some other hearts
had found their mates. But the
pair had separated, or rather rejoin
ed again, by the return of Mr. Clif
ton, who entered, calling out :
“ Mabel, my dear, to me these
rooms look rather dark. Let’s havo
the gas turned on, if you please.”
“ Certainly, papa.”
And when there was light enough
for Mr. Clifton to look into his
daughter’s eyes, he saw a brighter
light shining there. Another mo
ment, when Flory came to greet
him, he said, with a sly smile.
“ Ah, I see why you young folks
knew nothing of the surrounding
darkness guided by the light
within. Well, haYe you had a pleas
ant day ?”
“ A happy day, father ; there are
no regrets to steal in and mar it.”
Mabel said, with a bright smile.
“ I am glad of it—glad of your
resolve, Mabel. How glad you will
be I know when I tell you that this
morning I closed the eyes of a lather
whose son was away in some driuk
ing saloon. How my fceart ached
for that dying father ! And what a
balm it was to think at that time
my daughter was not holding the
fatal glass to any young man,”
said Mr. Clifton, his voice trembling
with emotion.
Before another New Years day
Mabel and her friend each presided
over an establishment of their own.
The happy remembrance of their
receptions is never clouded by the
thought that they have added one
drop to the cup of bitterness which
so many wives, mothers aud sisters
have to drink—that cup of sorrow
which is often prepared for them by
sister women.
One of the saddest things about
human nature is, that a man may
guide others in the path of life
without walking iu it himself ; that
he may be a pilot, and yet a cast,

Tlie Grange—lts Objects
and Its Benefits.
At 3 recent installation of the of
fleers of the New Hampshire state
grange, an excellent address was
delivered by Col. D. Wyatt Aiken,
from which we extract tho follow
ing paragraphs concerning the ob
jects and benefits of the grange :
The founders, seeing how much
cooperation and concentration
were doing for every other associa
tion, conceived the idea that the
same co-operative principle might
be employed lor the benefit of tbe
farming class; and the people for
whose benefit it was conceived saw
that it was good, aud took hold of
it in earnest.
One great object of the grange is
to elevate tlie farmers. From the
nature of their calling they are
much isolated, and this isolation
tends to make them unsocial and
selfish. Tho farmer’s wife never
goes anywhere, because her husband
cannot find time or disposition to go
with her and she becomes unsocial
and selfish also. This is character
istic of the farming community
from Maine to Texas. Iu the
grange they are brought together,
and their sqcial natures are develop
ed and elevated. He had beon in
ruauy states, but he had found none
where the farmer and his wife did
not find time to go to the grange
after they bad once entered.
Theu the grange is an educating
power. He believed it required
more mind, thought, energy, to
make a successful farmer, than any
other evocation in life. This is an
age of progress, and tho man who
stands still and don’t study to im
prove, will go backward. Farm
ing must be studied. Agriculture is
large science, and the more we
study it the larger the field spreads
out before us. To boa true farm
er, a mau should study to prepare
himself as much as for any of the
professions. In the grange the lat
ent intelligence of the farmer is
brought out, and each can learn of
the other some new idea or method.
Two heads are better than one.
Not only does the grange improve
him educationally and socially, but
morally. The farmer ought above
all others, to be a Christian. His
avocation should peculiarly lead
him to look through nature up to
nature’s God. The granger makes
him charitable.
Retelling to the secrecy of the
order, he said it was that which
‘gave it cohesion and permanency.
In all trades and professions there
is a degree of secrecy, and the most
successful man is who keeps his
plaus to himself. In the grange
there is just enough secret to make
it attractive.
The grange also does what no par
ty or organization has done, unites
the people of all parts of the coun
try. It says to every man m the
union : “Come in, and I’ll give you
the hand of friendship.” It knows
no north, no south, no east, no west.
It bridges the bloody chasm which
has divided the different sections.
Tlie constitution of the grange
prohibits the discussion of religion
and politics, and neither political
nor religious tests for membership
are allowed. Y r et this means to ex
clude only sectarianism aud partis
anship, for religion in its true sense
is always taught here, and there is
no fitter subject than politics in its
real meauiug—science of govern
ment—for our consideration.
Ready Money. —Ready money
is an excellent thing to have on hand
no matter if it is only a small sum.
If it is only sufficient to meet the
current expenses, it is a great con
venience, to say the least. Any
one who has tried and compared the
credit with the cash system will
readily admit the correctness of the
above remark.—When you buy for
cash you generally get thingsc heap
•r —get better weight and measure,
and all the favors the dealers can
extend to his patrons. On the
chronic credit system, the matter is
usually reversed. If you try to
dvoid credit by borrowing, you im
prove matters very little, if any.
Hence we give this advice : ‘Turn
an honest penny’ whenever you
can, and always have sufficient
money on hand to meet your small
engagements.

II W e Would.
If we would but check the speaker,
When be spoils bis neighbor’sfaoie.
If we would but help tbe erring.
Ere we utter words of blame ;
If we would, bow many might we
Turn from paths of sin and shame.
Ah ! tbe wrongs that might be righted
If we would but see the way ;
Ah, the paths that might be lightened
Every hour and every day,
If we would but hear tbe pleadings
Of the hearts that go estraj.
Let us step outside tbe stronghold
Of our selfishness and pride.
Let us lift our fainting brothers,
Let ns strsnghteu ere we chide,
Let ns, ere we blame the fallen,
Hold a light to cheer aud guide.
Ah, how blessed —all, how blessed
Earth would be if we‘d but try
Thus to aid and right tbe weaker.
Thus to cheer each brother’s sigh ;
