Tfhi's bJeing the Sa bbath, at the stual hour Ned went to church, rnd se!ected for hiO morning 80er. ice otro of those churche5 in 'hiich the peows arc free, and in 'iih the hiymni is giveni out, anid ung bj the congregation, a half Ocita'tive. Ned entered the church in as tat, a'walk as lhe could possibly sumie; pr'eoededI about hi alif own the aisle, And popped him. elf (lown in his~ sent as quick as if o hadio been shot. The more hioughltloks of' the congi'ogation 'tgau ito, titi, anid the gra~vor cod up slyly, but solemnly at Th'le pastorL roso, ;nd;bef'oro giv ng out the hypnn,, observed that Linfig was~ i part, of the service u ibichie thought the whole ppg'egation ough t to join.

Nod took the hint and sang 10 moro ; but bis eutranco into the hymp had already dispersed tho solemnity of throo-fifths of the congregation. As soon as the pastor coRm menced his sormon, Nod opon3d his eyes, throw back his head, dropped his under jaw, and sur rendered himself to the most in. tenso interest. The proachor was an indifferent one ; and by as much as he became dull and insipid, by so much (lid Nod become absorbod in the discourse. And yet it was impossible l'or the nicest observer to dotect anything in his looks or manner short of the most solemn devotion. The effect which his conduct had upon the congrega tion, and their subsequent re ma.rk1s, inust be left to tle imagina Lion of the reader. I give but one remark :-"Bless that good 1111111 who came in the churcl so quicc," said a venerable matron as she left the church door, "how he was affected by tile sarment " Ned wont to churcl. 116 more on that day. About, four o'clock in tile afternoon, while lie was stand ing at the tavern door, a funeral procession passed by at the foot of which, and singly walkod one of tile smallest mon I over saw. As soon as he came opposito the door, Ned stopped cut and joined him with great solemnity. Thle contrast. botwoon tile two was ludicrously striking, and tile little man's looks and lniasinloss plaiily showed that 1h0 folt it. They pro ecoded buti a little wav before Nod inquired of' his companion who was dead. "IMr. Noah Bills," said the little man. "Nan ?" said Ned, raising his hand to his ear in token of deaf ness, and bonding his head to the speakor. "Mr. Noah Bills," repeated the little man, loud enough to dist.urb the two couples immiieldiately be fore him. "Mrs. Noel's Bill I" said Nod. with mortification and astonish mont. "Do the white persons pay such respect to niggers in Savan nah ? I shan't do it." So saying, he loft the procession. The little man WaLS alt first conI siderably nettled ; but, upon being left to his own reflections, he got into an uncon)trollable fit of laugh. tor', as dhid the Couple immtiediate 13' in advanico of him, who over hoeard Ned's remark. Tile proCos sion no0w exhiiteLd a most mnortify. ing spectacle; thle hlead of it in mourning and in tears, andl the foot of it convulsed wVithl laughter. On Monday, Ned empIloyed him self ill disposing of the business which brought him to Savannmah, and I saw but little of him ; but [ could not step into the stroet without hearinzg of' him. All talk ed about him, andl hardlly any twvo agl'eed about his character. On Tuesday, lie visitedl the mar' kot, and set it all iln astonishmI)ent or laughter. lie wanted to buy somethling of over'ybody, and some of overything ; but coulId riot agree upon the terms of' a trade, because heralways wvanted heis articles in such p)ortions and numbers as no0 one would sell, or upon cond(ition's to wh)ich no one would submit. To give a single example ; be beset an old negro wVoman to soll him the half of a living chicken. "Do, my good mauma, sell it to me," said he; "my wife is very sick, and is longing for chicken pie, and this is all tile money I hlave" (holding out twelve and a half cents in silver,) "and it's just whta; half' chIcen comes to at your own price." "Ki, maissal ho0w gwino cut live ehickon inl two ?" "I don't want you to cut it in two alive ; kill it, clean it, and theun divide it."

"Don't scald it at al ; just piCk it, "Stieh ochl Fodder fly all ober' do buckora-man meat, lhe come bang mue fo' true. No, mnassa, I mighty sorry for your wife, but I no outty chicken open."

At the recent nw-eoting of the National Grange in St. Louis the following declaration of purposes, (said to have boon written by Mr. W r i g h t, master of the Stato Grigo of aliforniia,) was submit tou by the committeo on rosolit Lions, through Mr. Wardlaw, of Plorida, its clirman, and inlanli m1ously adoptod : Pr-ofoundly iupressed With the truth that the National Grango of thu United States should dofilnite. 3l' proclaii to thu world its gen 01ra1l objects, we hereby u11nani mously malco this declaration of purposos of the Patrons of 1111i bandry: 1. United by the strong and faithful tio of agriculture, we mu tually resolve to labor for the good of our order, our country ainI mankind. 2. We heartily endorse the mot to, "In essentials, Unity; in all things, charity." We shall on deavor to advince our cause by labor-ing to accomplish the follow ing objects: To develop a better and high. or manhood anii d womanhood among ourselves. To onlihanco the comforts and attractions of our homes, and strengthen our attachments to our pursuits. To foster miutual understanding and co-operation. To maintain invio lato our laws, and to emulate each other in labor. To haston the good timo comimg. To reduce our expenscs, both individual and cor porato. To buy less and produco more, in order to make our farms self-sustaining. To diversify our crops, atkd crop no more than we can cultivate. To condenie the weight of our exports, selling less in the bushol, and moro on hoof and in fleece. To systematizo ourl work, and calculato intelligently oi prtobabilitios. To discounto nanoo the credit system, the moert. gage system, the fashion system, and every' other system tendcing to prodigality and bankruptcy. Woe )poposo meeting together, talking together, working togeth er, buying together, selling to. gether, and in general acting to gether for our mutual protection anld advacement as oCcasion may require. WVe shall avoid litigation so much as possible by arbitration in tIhe Grange. We shall constant ly str-ive to secure en tire harmony, good will, vital- br o theor h ood among ourselveB, and to makeoOur ordeor por'potuall. We shall earn estly endecavor to suppress pierson al, local, secticinal and national pr1ejuldiCes, all un healthy r'ivalry, all selfish ambition. Faithful ad heurence to those pr'inciples will ins u our moital, moral, social antd material advancement. 3. For our business interests we desire to bring producers afld Coil. siumer01s, falrmelrsand man ufacturos, int o the most direct friendly rola tionsA possible. Hence we must dispense with a surplus of mid dlomen ; not that we are unf'riend ly to tIhim, biut we do inot need thomll. Their surplus and their exactions diminish 'our profits. We wage no aggressive wvarfatro against any other interests what ever.. On the con trary, all our acts and all our' eff'orts,,so far as busi. noess is concernmed, are not only for tile benefIt of' the producer and consumer, but also for all other interests, anld tend to bring these parties into speedy and economi cal contact. Hence we hold that tr'anIsporationl companies of every~ kind are necessary to our success : that thir initerests are inltimate'ly conntectedl with our interests, and harmonious action is mdtually advantageous. Keepimg in view thle first sunteneo in our doolara tion of pr1iniiCples of action that "individual happineoss depends up. onl gener-al pr1osperty," we shall, therefore, advocato for overy Sitate the increase in every practicable way of all f'aeilities for transport. lng pheaply to the seaboard, or betwoeen home producers and con sumers, all the productions of' our' connttf Wo add jt I6 a%our fixed pupose to openi %ou the cIannels Ia 'ature's great'sarteries, that the lifaeLblood of' doin1eo mg~y 'fibgrfr'ly.

We especially advocate for our agfricultural and industrial colleges that practical ag"ricilturo, domestic science, and all the arts which adorn1 the home be taught in their courses of study. 5. We especially and sincerely assort the o I't - r o p o a t a d trutLi taught in our organic law that the Grange, National, State, or subordinato, is nota political par. ty organization. No G'rango, if true to ils obligations can discuss their merits in its ineotings. Yetthe principles wo teach tudorlio all tLru politics, all true t,satomanship, and if properly carried out will ten( to puriry the whole political at Inosphore 01 our country. l?or .vo seek the greatest good to the greatest number, but we must always bear in mind that 1o o1o1 by becoming a Patron of Husbandry gives tpl that inalien able right and duty which belongs to every American citizon, to take a proper intorest in the politics of his country. On the contrary, it is right, for every member to do all in his power legitimately to ill fluenco for good tile action of' any political party to which he belongs. It is his duty to do all he can in his own party to put down bribo ry, corruption and trickory ; to see that none but compotit, faithful and honest men, who will unflinch ingly stand by our industrial inter ests, are nominated for all posi tions. It should always chlaracter ize every patron of husbandry that t.he offices should sook the, man and not1 the man the office. We ac0 knowledge the broad principle that difference of opinion is no crime, and, hold thtat progress to wards truth is mtado by differ eces of opinion, while the fault lies in bitterness of controversy. WVo desire a propor equality, equi ty, and fairness, protection for the weak, restraint upon the strong; in short,justly distributed burdons and justly distributed p)ower. These are A merican idleas, tho vory essencee of' American inldepenldence and to advocate the contrary is unworthy of' tho sons and daugh ters of an A merican republic. WVo chIerishI the belief' that sectional. ism is, and of' right should be, d'ead and buried with tihe past. Our' work is for the pr'esentt and the future. In our agricultural brotherhood and1( its purposes we 8113l1 recognize no North, on South, ro East, nto West. It is received by overy patron.,as the right of a freeman, to affBliate with any par' ty that will best carry out his prin ciples. 6. Our's being peculiarly a far morts' institution, we cannot admit all to our ranks. Manty ar'e elu dod by tihe nlaturte of' our organaiz altioni, not because they are prio fossional men, or' atisans, or Ia borers, bitt because they have ntot a sufficient dlirect interest in tilling or pasturing tihe soil, or may have Home interest in conflict with our1 pur11posOs. But we ap)peal to all good citizens for thoir cordial Co. operation to assist in our efforts toward ref'ornm, that we may even tually romflOVO from our mid1(st thle last vestige of ty:'an ny and corrulp~ tionl.
