Tho Pennsylvania Patrons of Hus bandry, more familiarly known ns the Grantors, held tLeir annual meeting last week in Centre county. The Grange is one of the most im portant societies in tho county. When it wrh organized the aim was to effect some revolutions in trade methods, to dispense with the middleman, who bought and sold, but was not a producer, and other impossible hopes were Cutetfatbed. Gradually the Granger learned that the man who distributes is as nec essary as the man who produces, and that the railroads that carry are not the foe but tho absolute neces sity of tho funner. Perceiving that there is no room for uuy great revo lutions the Grangers turned their attention to adapting themselves more to the conditions they found. The fanner was brought into closer contact with his neighbor. Better methods were discussed ut Grange meetings. A new interest was awakened among the older popula tion of the I'm m iiinl tlio younger members of tlio fanners' families were tinned from tho loneliness of isolated farm life to the more social atmosphere of the Grange. As a factor in changing commer cial practices the Grange was power less, but it had an effect just as good as the most hopeful Granger could have asked when it set men to thiuking about how to mako the ' farm yield more and better returns turough better and more intelligent attention to detail as well as to en eral principles of farming. The Grange brought to every communi ty where one was located a new en thusiasm which has never been wholly lost. It stimulated a demand for Grange and farm literature nud tho Grange literature became ulti mately farm literature. Why Not Print the Bond. Attorney General McCormick con cluded his crushing rejoinder to Mr, John P. I'Ukiu's defence of tho fa mous indemnity bond with these words : "It is not very material whether tho bond was intended to indemni fy the Treasurer against Legislative action or Executive veto ; but, since a question ot fact has arisen us to tho conditions of tho bond or agree ment of indemnity, it can readily be Bottled by giving a copy thereof to tho public." That suggestion goes to tbo heart of tho issue. Why not publish the bond ? Tho signers contend that it was perfectly right and proper. They insist that thcro was nothing wrong about it aud no reason for concealment. They assert that un der tho samo circumstances they would do tho same thins again. What possiblo objection, then, to giving the bond, or agreement, as they prefer to call it, to the public t That rou!d settle thodisp it Mr. Elkln says the Governor had assert ed to the extra appropriation, aud that the bond intended to indemni fy the Treasurer against possible legislative default rather thau ap prehended Executive veto. The term of the document will doubtless decide that Question. Let us have the bond. I'hilmhl- phia l'rttB. Some Rambling Thoughts. BY "NEMO." I'opj routed by Dawe t Tuber." To tue Religious: The great sin of the good and tho weakuess of the strong is this: that having a glimpse of truth they demand that others shall see eye to eye with them. Houce some disputings and warrings betweeu those whose en ergies instead of being directed against each other, should be unit edly propelled forward into the real , battle against indolence and selfish ness in human hearts. ... What absolute nomense it is for any subject, or to announce that we have at lust discovered a subject that has only oue side to it. And mark you this: tho chief sinuors in iiitolleiance are those who ultimate ly are found to have tho narrowest conception of a subject. These are they who dwelling iu grimy coal uiiucH, deny tho existence of sun shine and trees ; or who rattling in their narrow cells of thought like empty milk cans in a wagon, by their noisy protesting drive from them those whom quiet thought would reach. Their view of life and of God is narrowed down to the range of their own short-sightedness, and they live and die content to be ignorautof tho infinite breadth of an iulinite Creator whoso works do justify him and whoso vastness is only comprehended in tiny frag ments by the best of us. How dare any one of us stand up to utter the whole of Gods truth and then place little human limita tions on it? We dare it because we are so small and bo narrow that wo scarce can seo ourselves. Great men welcome to the great army of world-betterers, all who from pro found purpose and a realization of their own importance as created parts oftho universe, throw out all the powers they have if by any means they canimpro e some. It is the narrow, and shrunken men, who as s'ulf-constituted toll-gate keepers along the high-ways of life demand of us the surrender of this and that coin of thought if we would traverse their section of the road. Theie will of necessity, by thecon stitution of men's minds, always be those who, holding certain views, will Hock, settle, or fly together like swallows in autumn. But even granting this there is no more need of antagonism between them aud their neighbors than between dif ferent regiments of tho same army. If you want some really pitiful read ing, take up Sir Walter Scott's "Old Mortality," and seo how the Con veuauters harassed by their oppres sors, snarled and snapped at the hands that would have aided them, so that, at the last, whatever advant age might have hecn gained from armed resistance to Claveihouse and others, was absolutely disre garded aud lost to them forever. If you need further proof of the horrid stupidity of bqunbblcrs who, blind to a common danger, insist on tri umphs ovjpr .0110 another, read Josephus and his account of the fall of Jerusalem. You will concede it to be, iu all likelihood ono ot the most frightful stories in human his tory, where, in sight of a danger that threatened to engulf all iu ruin, the sects llow at each other iu unex- amplod fury auU slew ot tneir own people until resistance to the foe outside the walls was no longer pos slllo. Tho abuses of all human rights, tho torrents of human blood, the wrenching asunder of ail human ties by those who insist on agieeinent with themselves makes dreary read ing ; but it is ono of tho chapters of tho human record and must be read if. in order to appreciate the heights possible iu our nature, vro must comprehend the depths to which it it can sink. It irt bo frightfully human to flee persecution and then lay the iron hand on those in turn who do not agree with ua (our New England history sadly confirms this) that even though we concede that days of more liberality have corup, yet each of us must look within to watch for Bimptoms of illiberality. It is easily nutured, and its -influences spring at once into vigor, if we criticise tliis or this or that worker for good. The world is a great harvest-field, and therein grow by different methods of work the voried crops that keep life in the body of roan. The world of thought is equally wide, and its crops even more diversified. The world of moral effort no one can measure in its influence, aud over it and its multifarious activities sits the Lord of the Harvest who, being able to further the efforts of the negro in his corn, the South Sea Island in his cassava, the Hiudoo in his rice, has not His power shortenod bo that he cannot reap from diversified methods in the d ing of good. Do 1 urge an age of loose be lief? Not by any nieaus. Grow more and more iutenre 'in what you believe, if vou will, but leave other workers alone, for they are watched by a wiser than thou. Let your test of a good man be by his energy in living out his beliefs, and having found iu him the ring of the true metal of good purpose that has brought us onward hitherto. turn that Hiiper-abunduut euergy hat might iu other days have been wasted in convincing him by force, into exertion's to awaken those who sleep, to aucrgizo the weak who do not believe anything aud therefore have nothing to woik for. First tight tho enemy outside tho gates of wholesome useful life, and then not till then will you need to settle the trilling questions with in. Make your life a protest against Hellish sloth, and you will in some decree show just how high human nature can rise if wo do but "hitch our chariots to the stars."
