POETRY.
TUE OLD COUPLE.
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.

MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1874.
!ace to surmise that old Hallowell might
have feelings of his own, and she has
never passed me by without; a kind good
day. 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

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

marriage service, the mime of the bride.

Surprise made her silent, and the stop

further conversation. 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 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?" The'school alarm answered meek
ly that she wasn't posted in the seed bu
siness," and the matter was allowed to
drop. .

JANETTE'S HAIR
Oh, loosen the snood that you wear, Janette,
Let me tangle a hand in your hair, my pet—
For the world to me had no daintier sight
Than your brown hair Yelling your shoulder
white,
As I tangled a band in your hair, my pet.
It was brown with a golden gloss; Janette,
It was finer than silk of the floss, my pet;
It was a beautiful mist falling down to your
wrist,
'Tarns a thing to be braided, and Jeweled and
kissed.
'Twas the lovelist ban in the world, my pet.
'My arm was the arm of a clown, Janette,
It was sinewy, bristled and brown, my pet,
But warmly and softly it loved to atross
Your round white neck and your wealth of
tress,
Your beautiful plenty of hair, my pet.
Your eyes bad a swimming gloss, Janette,
Revealing the dear old story my pet,
They were gray, with that chastened tinge of
the sky,
When the trout leaps quickest to snap the fly—
And they matched with your golden hair, my
pet.
Tom. lips but I have no words, Janette,
They were es fresh as the twitter of birds my
pet,
When the spring is young, mid the roses are
With dew-drops in each red boento set,
And they suited your gold-bro*n hair, my pet.
Oh, you tangled my life in your bah, Janette,
'Twee a silken and golden enure, my pet;
But so gentle the bandage, my soul did implore
The right to continue a slave evermore,
With my lingers enmeshed in your hair.my pet.
Thus ever I dream whet you were, Janette,
With your lips, and your eyes, and your hair;
my pet,
In the darkness of desolate years I moan,
=ZM'i=2l
That covers your golden hair, m> pet.

clety. 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.
Manufacture-3, physicians, lawyers and mer
chants have their organizations in which their
rules are as strong as their prices, and, in 18 . 07,
farmers alone, like single skirmishers remained
to heimught down by the first sharpshooter al
the enamy.
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. Mr. Saunders then, first rea
lized the isolated condition of the tanners all
over this vast Union, and bent his whole
gies to de -elope a plan by which the husband
men might be brought together and made pow
erful in united ellen.. In the autumn or early
winter or IStr7,.a small number of thinking men
assembled in, the office of the Superintendent of
the Agricultural Grounds in Washington. Dur
ing the progress of winter,orminization became
the watelword and during February, the infant
society VIItIn christened TIER PATZALTAS OP Hoe-
HAMMY, and was styled a grange.
The objections to a secret society were over
ruled by the necessity of coherracy ; beside as
it was designed that woman should be eligible
to the highest oflires, it was necessary to draw
a line of distinction and purity—soniewherr.—
at least, it was desirable that an incoming mem
ber should be a suitable sas,sdate Mr the wives
and daughters already there.
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?
