It stands in a sunny meadow, The house so mossy and brown With its cumbrous, old stone chimneys, And the grey roof sloping down. The trees fold their green arms around it, The trees, a century old; And the winds go chanting through then% And the sunbeams drop their gold, • The cowslips spring in the marshes, And the roses bloom on the bill; And beside the orook on the pastures, The herds go reeding at will The children have gone and left them, They sit in the sun alone! And the old wife's tears are falling, , As she harks to the well-known tone. That won her heart in her girlhood, That has soothed her in many a care, And praises her now for tLe brightness Het old lace used to wear. She thinks again of het bridal— How, dressed M her robe of white, ' She stood by hergay young lover, • In the morning's rosy light. Oh, the morning is rosy as ever, But the rose Item her cheek is fled; And the sunshine still is golden, But it falls on a silvered bead. And the girlhood dreams, once vanished, Come back in her winter time, Till her feeble pulses tremble With the thrill of spring-times prime. And looking forth from the window. She thinks how the trees have grown, Since, clad In her bridal whiteness She crossed the old door-stone. • Though dimmed her eye's bright enure, And dimmed her hair's young gold; The love in her girlhood plightei, kiss never grown dim nor old. They sat in peace in the seeable°, Till the day was almost done; And then, at its close, an angel Stole over the threshold stone. Be folded their bands together— He lunched their cy elide with balm ; And their last breath fleeted upward, Like the close of a solemn psalm. Like a bridal pair they traversed The unseen, mystical road. That leads to the beautiful city, "Whose builder and maker la God." Perhaps in that miracle country They will give her lost youth back; And the dowers of a vanished spring -time, Will bloom In the spirit's track. One draught from the living waters, Shad call back manhood's prime; And eternal years shall measure, The love that outlived time. But the shades that they left behind them, The wrinkles and silver hair, . Made holy to us by the kisses The angel had printed there. We will hide sway 'numb the willows, When the day is low in the west ; Where the sunbeams cannot rind them, Nor the winds disturb their rest. And we'll suffer no tell-tale Tombstone. With its age and date to rise; O'er the two who are old no longer In the Father's House in the skies. MISCELLANEOUS READING MARIAN'S FORTUNE -0- George Hallowell of Elmsbnrough, died at the age of 80, worth $lOO,OOO. People generally thought he had lived a very long time; but they could not deny the fact that he had improved the time, and got together a very respectable fortune. Earle in his young manhood he had married Estelle Cleaves,. the daughter of a poor actor; and some incongruity of taste or temper — nobody knew which, for Hallowell kept his own seecrets, and death long ago had sealed the lips of his wife—had separated them after about 10 months of married life. The wife had gone forth nobody knew whither, rod Hallowell had bred on his sour, crusty and monotonous life in the old home where he was born, and where before him was born his father and grand- father. He never went into society, he received no company, he had no friends and it was s great wonder to whom he would give his property when he was dead. And when the announcement came that the old man was gone, everybody pricked up his or her ears, and wonder grew. The old advents—nearly &sold as him self—a man and two womea, had always been with him, and constituted the only faintly he had. _ . The old male servant was named Gil bert, and in his hands Mr. Hallowell had left. his will. 6 The funeral was largely attended by the whole neighborhood ; and, at its close, Gilbert requested all those interest ed to remain and hear the will read. Of course, in a matter like this, every- body was interested, and old Gilbert had a good audience. Lawyer Seeores read the will. It seem ed he had drawn cit up a year before for the testator. Divested of its formalities, it bequeathed handsome life annuities to each of the three servants, two thou sand, to each of the two churches in the village; two hundred pounds for the sup port of JIM, a large stripped cat, which the old man held in high regard and all the rest of the property—bonses, lands, stoat', and money was bequeathed with oat reserve to Marian Esterly, the village school-mistress. The people were nil stricken dam with astesishment, and Miss Es:crly was, per haps, more surprised dual any of them.

And once when I passed by her little garden she gave me a bunch of pan sies. Ono I loved in youth was fond of pansies, and I think of her always when I see them. And so, as Marian Esterly has treated me as if I had a soul, I be queath to her the property which it has tsken a life time to gather, and may Heaven bless her in its possession. All the villagers were jealous of Miss Esterly, and all thought she had been very well repaid for the few kind ‘vonls and a bunch of pansies. But hone could dispute old Hallowell's right to do as he pleased with his own ; and so the poor schoolmistress nassed peaceably into pos session. Miss Esterly was an orphan, tix enty three years of age, tall and tine looking, and with more character than is general ly given to one individual. Now that she had the power, she asserted herselfgrand ly. The Hallowell home-place was put un der A series of valuable improvements which soon changed its entire aspect. Decaying trees were cut down, fresh young oues were planted, a spacious flow er-garden, with extensive graperies'and green-houses, flourished where had been only a stretch of dismal heath, the stock in the stables were overhauled, Mid great changes made, and Hallowell house was rebuilt and remocelled, until it was the finest residence in the country round. Miss Esterly kept the old servants, who shortly learned to adore her, but she add ed new ones to the menage, and enter tained the visitors, who hastened to hon or her, in gracious and liberal style. As a mutter of course, the mistress of Hallowell house was not long wanting for lovers; they came thick and fast— some few, perhaps, by her beauty and grace, but most of"them keen on the scent after old Hallowell's golf_'. But Marian Esterley had sense as u ell as good looks, and she was nut deceived by their pretentious. She remembered the time when the poor schoUl mistress might liarr sat eve ning after evening at parties and siical gatherings, unnoticed and neglected by all these obsfnitions, fine gentlemen who now pruteesed to be so deeply in hire with her ; so she treated them with a enolress which drove them to the verge of die• tract She had jest been one year mistress of Hallowell, when one day old Gilbert came to her with a troubled face, and ask,•d an andienee. She bade him sit down, and speak with out constraint. but the old man made blundering work of it. Mariaii had io question and encourage him contiiir.ati, but at last hie story was told. 1u effect, it was this: When Estelle Hallowell had died. years and years before in an obscure Scottish village, ela had kfl a son—George Hallo well's child, born three monih 9 after her separation from hint. This son had hated his father for the wrongs be had felt inflicted upon Estella, and had 110'4 made himself known to him ; and Mr. Hallowell had lived and died unconscious of the fact that lie was a father. This son had died two months preci ous, leasing one sou behind him—George Hallowell's grandson, and heir at-law. Clementllowell—that was the yonzig man's name—was now a clerk in a hank in London, on a salary of one hundred and fifty pounds a year, and all uncon• animus of the fact that by right of 'Ain, he was the heir to one hundred thousand pounds. These facts old Gilbert had just learn hrongb a friend of Estelle's—an old wan who had strolled to the village, picking up a living strumming on un ancient harp and singing a few old ballads. Re had been a player in company with Es tella's father, and had always, so to speak, kept on track of the family. Some women would have doubted the old stroller's story; but Mies Esterley did not. She eaw him herself, and got out of him every minute particular. Old Gilbert was greatly troubled "I thought it was my duty td, tell you, ma'am," he said to Marian ; 'but I'd rather have cut my bead off. I said to Polly, said I; 'lt seems a wicked burning shame to go and disturb the dear young lady's peace, now that everything is a flowing so beautiful.' And said Polly to ue : 'Gilbert, always do your duty, man, and you'll be happy.'" "You did perfectly right to tell me, atlbert," said Miss Esterley, kindly. "I should have been very sorry if yon had cot. There has been a great wrong done. Thank heaven it is in my power to right "What wilt you Jo ma'am ?" asked the man, though from his knowledge of Miss Fsterley's e,haraeter,it is not difficult for him to guess. "firer you mind, Gilbert,!' said she ; "I will do what is right." So she made a confident of Lawyer &e -eons, and caused him to set on foot in, quiries relative to young Clement Hallo well, The information which he gather ea settled. the fact, beyond. the shadow of Devoted to the Interests of our Town and County. a doubt, that he was George Hallowell's grandson, and also that ho was a young man who had I< d a noble and irreproach able life, and, though very poor, he was respected and esteemed by all with whom he bad come iu contact. Then Miss Esterley caused a conveyance of the Hallowell estate to be drawn np, and by it she gave everything into the possession of ate heir-at-law. Her com mands. that lie should come at once and attend to his inheritance.were imperative ; but it was some time before Clement Hallowell could be induced to take advan tage of his fortune. It was not until after Miss Ester!) , had delivered everything into the hands of Lawyer Secures as agent, and had herself left for a distant town, where a school was offered her, that young Mr. Hallowell came down from London and took pos session of his own. Shortly Marian's school began in West lake she became acquainted with a young gentleman namrd Burke—a poor artist, handsome and cultivated, but without money, friends. or influence. He secured board at the house next to the one where Marian lodged, and he al. ways waited until her school was out be fore he took his walk aroma' the park by the beautiful lake; and she always went with hum. As a batural consequence they fell in love with each other, and Marian was as happy in her choice that it never occurred to her to lament the splendors she had lost in renouncing the Hallowell inheri tance, Young Burke was very eager for the wedding nut to he delayed; and one summer worming they were married quietly in the little church at Westlake, and then they set out together fur her husband's bonne. About this home lie had never told her anything—neither had she enquired; so you may understand she was very deeply in love with him—fur now-a-days the "establishment" is often of in6nitel3 more consequence to the young lady than the man who goes along with it, by way of moo mbrance. Alarian was a little puzzled by one thoig. As she had stood in the church and listened to the solemn words of the marriage service, the mime of the bride. groom, though uttered by the clergyman in a very lon . tone of voice, bad sounded tie w and sirauge to her. had not nudeisiotid ; lielerthelCSS, it had not bouudel hke plain John Burke. “S , u:•.J in Ow he her husband's E.ht: asked hirri about it. -Tie name is all right darling," he re plied ston.tzmg. her Land tinder the folds of her shawl--"new husband's will du :met, th'ngs. you know ; don't trotilde roar head about that."

A handsome car riage and pair awaited them, and in a very brief.space of time Ififrian and her husband were driven,"llowell House. And there, drawn up in array on the lawn, were old Gilbert and Polly, and all the rest of them, waiting to welcome back their old mistress. Marian turned to her husband, who with a biniliug face, was presenting his wife to the aeriauts. "What does it all mean r she asked, in a puzzled tone. "Nothing—except that my whole name is Clemmeut 11,orke Hallowell, and you are my wife. Pardon my deception Marian, but I fell in love with you before I saw you. I knew that no ordinary woman would have eacrifieed what you did from a sense of honor, and I resolved to know you. I felt sure you would not prosper my suit if I was known to you as the heir, co I was a poor artist instead; and, darling, I sin a very poor artist, fur I never drew a thing in all my life. You know you used to tax me last summer with my miserable laziness, but I was on an entirely different kind of business from picture making. And you say you forgive me l" She could do no batter, she said, seeing that he had already settled everything his own way; and she glided gracefully into her old plate as a mistress, and Hallowell House had all its own again. A !Silesian astounded a grocer by enter ing his shop with this request: McGray, would 3 - on lind me an empty barrel of flour to make a hen-coop far me dog ?" . "Angelina, eau you tell why your eyes are like friends separated by distant climes?" "Augusta, f can't. Tell me, oh ! oh tell me why." "Because they cor respond but never meet." An embryo poet, who is certainly a close observer of human nature,. remarks: "Time marches on with the slow, maes nred.tread of a maa. working, by the day." A Lawyer Flooded —o— A correspondent at Fredonia, N. Y., writes: "Being in attendance at the Circuit Court in Albany in the year 1870 I happened to hear the trial of a breech of promise case. The plaintiff was a young lady of rather delicate nerves, and although, through the aid of her counsel her case was looking well, but when ebe came to be cross-examined by the oppo site attorney, she quailed before his searching examination, and finally fell down in a swoon. The sympathies of every one were aroused, and the defen dant's counsel saw that he must do some thing. The young lady's face was of a pure purple-red during her swoon, and so when the next witness was called a middle aged lady said : "Witness you Saw the plaintiff faint a abort time ago ?" "Yee, sir," said the witness. "-Well people turd pale when they faint, do they not ?" The witness hesitated a moment, then said, "No not always." "Did you ever hear of a case of faint ing where the party did not turn pale ?" "Yes, sir." "Did you ever see such a case ?" "Yes, sir." "When ?" "About a year ago." Where was it ?" "In this cit 7." "Who was it'" “It was a colored indvidual.” The plaintiff won the case.

A Farmer's Iltstake When "boarding round" was the fash ion with school teachers, farmer A., on coming to the house at tea-time, was in troduced to the school-ma'am. In a mo• meat he perceived a strong odor of musk which came from the shoohma'am's cloth ing. He, entirely ignorant of .the cause, charguo it upon P,uto, who had a strong propensity for muskrats, and at once rep rimanded him. "Ponto, you scamp, you have been kill ing muskrats ; go out doors, sir, and get sweetened oft' But Tonto did not stir, and farmer A. spoke again more sharply: -Get out! you'll scent the whole house 1" The school-'ma'am by this time was blushing red as crimson, while the boys and girls could scarcely keep from burst ing into laughter. One of them, uuuo• ticed,at last made their father understand how the matter stood, and he, of course dropped the subject. The evening passed away rather awkardly with all, and the teacher failed to return the next day. On her account the affair was kept quiet un til atter she left the neighborhood, when many were the hearty laughs over farmer A.'s errors, and school-ma'am's discoin titnre. She omitted musk thereafter. A Connecticut school • committee re cently asked a school nvarm "What was the seed from whence sprung good and evil?"

Wherever there is desire fur improve ment, there effort will prevail proportionately. Desire and earnest effort are the twin-sisters of nrogress, the Matz of human action, the watch word of success. To secure complete success, combinations or societies have been instituted at frequent Intervals for the past centurira : and schools of Philosophy, dogmas and isms have marked the pathway of united effort through all Ancient History, Church and thaw have had their organiza tions ; and to secure a more complete union their combinations, individuals formed - secret societies for the social and intellectual interests of their legions of numbers.

Tears ago, a wealthy gentleman's son in Philadelphia, while pursuing his stuuies, discov ered the intimate relations which exist between the etiltivation of the soil and Chemistry ; and hi his Don Quixote euthunasm, determined to go on a lecturing tour to the farmers out West. He applied to William Saunders, Esq., then editor of a horticultural paper, the present founder of the Patrons of Husbandry, to ascer. tasn by what means lie could cull au audience of agricultuiists.

The objections to women's entrance to the Grange wrre repealed by one or the hightes-t of ficers; when he salt—"We must have women with us everywhere; suffrage ter woman Is coming; we brve the certain Incites or knowing-1 that which even the pre:el-cannot ftndout. We have taken trbrond step in the world's pnigress; we have given woman her tore place. We not only make her eligible to our highest office, but tee have three I, lAMB which only a Woman can fill; ter no person can become a member until they have been consecrated end Glutted by her, hands." With these objections over-rubid and facts taken in consideratin, It appears to he little less than a miracle to-learn that nearly 1800 granges already flourish in lowa, and their blows have fallen heaviest upon speculators and monopo hos. In 1872, they saved $450,000 in purchas ing their agricultural implements direct front the manufacturers allowing in the meantime, their "middlemen" to go to work or starve. All over the broad w estern prairies, the PM eons are taking the Inuit seats and calling the roll of 'progress and self-improvement. And why not? Why should the poor wlilmr pay *65.00 for a sewing machine, that costs the manufacturer only fifteen r Why should dairymen receive but 25 cts. for a pound of butter, when the same article costs the consumer from 45 to GO me. per pound? Or, why should farmers receive but 20 cm. per doz en for•eggs, when the consumer but forty or fif ty miles alsUtut, must pay 40 cents per dozen for Abe same? Ono speculator recently referring to the far mer's movement remarked, "All this trouble arises from farmer's wives having learned to wear silkllresses during the war,' and now they maw thing ta-give them up." Who Weasel them?

In each other's' society, a charm of sympathy and mutual de penitence will bind a community Urge, ltd. hi bonds ol brotherly unity which, we trust, wilP never be broken. Our motto is "Onward," one desire is improvement. Let us disabuse' world of the opinion that farmer§ are a set . . of . idiots ; but by the standard of mutual and mor- - al science let all combine for justice, for mutual'. protection and nactstance.
