A Grange Essay.
The Grange was formed for mutual
education, elevation, assistance and
sympathy among farmers ; for an in
terchange of thought, observation
and experience, so that each may bo
benefltted by the thought, observa
tion and experienoo of all. Every
one might bring something to read or
to bo read, ask some questions, give
some item of his own experience new
to tho others if not to himself, and
this at every meeting. I each mem
ber considered himself or herself re
sponsible for the interest of every
meeting, what a centre of attraction
our society would be, and what a vim
it would add to our gatherings !
Farming is not such a finished,
dead and buried science that there is
nothing new to be said about it.
There have been wonderfnl improve
ments made within the last few
yenr8, and who can say tho future
will not bring out still more wonder
ful things? Furniers, many of them,
have been behind the times, attending
to their own business, raising their
crops, while sharpers made it tiieir
business to watch the markets, buy
at the lowest price and sell al au ad
vance, thus making money by their
brain labor, often without lifting a
linger, while the farmer perhaps loses
or is barely paid for his hard labor,
when, bad he been be'.tcr informed,
ho might have had the whole profit
himself.
We are instructed to adorn our
homes, to make them attractive to
our children, to buy more books,
take more newspapers and magazines,
so that we may compare favorably as
a class with other classes. Now this
cannot be done without money, and
if our means are limited I see no way
of inflating the currency in a safe
and perfectlj' legitimate way except
by purchasing our supplies at whole
sale prices. Wc arc assured we can
do this at fifty per cent, discount: if I
so, and I have no doubt of it, it
would have the same effect as mak
ing fifty cents worth a dollar to us
As to quality, the purchasers having
a direct interest in the articles for
their own use, would certainly aim
'""to" obtaiir*tho .best. It is merely a
question of putting fifty per cent,
profit in the dealers' pocket or our
own. If we can save from ten to
twenty dollars each family per year,
which is, I think, within reasonable
bounds, that would be from two to
four hundred dollars per year for a
Grange, which is certainly worth a
little exertion. If any of jou are in
each easy circumstances thut you
do not feel the need of co-operation,
you could obtain an article of as
good a quality through the Grange,
and have half your money to bestow
on charitable objects, whicli abound
on every side. I do hope all will
feel it their duty and pleasure to
unite in this work, which is intended
equally for the benefit of each and
every member of tho Grange and for
the exclusive benefit of none. A
Grange without discussion of sub
jects, without the reading of selected
pieces 01 essays, without the inter
change of ideas, experience and ob
servation, and without co-operation
in financial affairs, is like the frame
work of a house?useless unless fin
ished and furnished. Our Grange
will be just what wc make it; let us
make it a decided success.
Lost Things.
There arc a great many things lost
that arc found again, and a great
many things that are Jost and never
found. There arc reputations lost
which cannot be regained ; there arc
hopes lost, whioh cornp not back
again ; there are joys and friendships
lost 1 there are thoughts and talents
? lost which arc never fouud. Every
man has at some time lost something,
which he would give the world, if it
were his, to recover. It may have
been hut a single pearl# from the
thread of friendship, or a mere hope
of his soul, but it was preciously
dear to him, and lifo is sad and dark
without it. The smallest things are
oftentimes the dearest to the heart of
a man, as for instance a little wife, a
little home, etc. What wonder then
that when they are possessed nothing
could induce him to give them up.
A Democratic gin in Burke county,
Ga., killed a negro the other day.

Revenge Is Sweet.
A strange and terrible revenge was
recently taken by a discarded lover
I in Indiana. He was about thirty
years of nge, and had been industri
ously courting a girl of fifteen, but
when he came to pop the question he
I was contemptuously rejected, the girl
saying that be was old enough to be
J her father. Upon that bint he acted,
for the girl's mother was a buxom
widow of only thirty-five, and he
I speedily transferred bis court to her.
Their marriage soon followed, and
now the younger lady finds that her
j ex-lover is her step-father. She
thought it was funny until the couple
returned from their wedding tour,
and then the newly-made stepfather
said to her: "My daughter, you ate
too fond of beaux. Nice young men,
ice-cream and buggy rides arc not
proper luxuries for a little girl like
you. I am old enough to bo your
father, and, what's more, I am. Go
up stairs, take off that there silk
dress, get ready for school, and don't
let me hear beax or buggy, ice
cream or nice young man from you
for at least three years." And now
I that young lady is retired in calico
and study, vainly repenting her rash
ness, and finding out by dire experi
ence that a lover scorned can be one's
worst enemy, especially when he be
comes a step father.
Faithful.
In the list of deaths from yellow
fever at Memphis, arc the names of
E. E. Marshall and Mrs. Jane Marsh
all, his wife. The circumstances at
tending their death form one of the
most singular incidents of the epidem
ic. They were both taken down about
the same time, and died within a
half hour of each other. During their
illness they refused admission to the
doctors and nurses scut them, and
took no medicine at all. They were
prepared for burial at the same time,
and borne to their last resting place
together. The funeral presented a
spectacle that would have touched
the most callous observer. The pro
cession consisted of the two hearses
and an empty carriage following.
There was not a sipgle mourner?no
one to shed a tear over the two who
had loved each other su well that
death had no terrors for them if they
could die together. Hand in hand
they had trod the pathway of wedded
life ; and then passed "Through the
dark gate to that beyond which no
man knows."
Stop My Paper.
Some people think that the way to
make an editor view matters as they
do, and foicc him into measures when
things don't suit him, is to order him
in a most peremptory manner to
"stop my paper!" It invariably fol
lows also, that such men, after dis
continuing their subscription, go
about the streets and predict all
sorts of calamities to befall the pa
per. "It can't live," and such like
expressions. Hut we have a conso
lation. In a case of this kind?and
we can call upon the fraternity for
corroboration of what we assert--the
editor, no matter how much he may
be abused, almost always lives to at
tend the funeral and writes the obitu
ary of all Buch people. Those who |
think they can control newspapers for
only a few dollars a year, take warn
ing.
In the neighborhood where I once
lived a man and his wife were almost
constantly quarreling. During their
quarrels an only child was generally
present, and of course had got many
of his father's expressions. One day
when the boy bad been doing some
thing wrong, the mother, intending to
chastise him called him and said:
"Come here, sir ; what did you do that
for?" The boy complacently folding
uisarrps and imitating his father's
manner replied : "Sec Ijcre, madam,
I don't wish to bavo any word* with

A bold, bad burglar recently broke
into the house of an editor in the
watches of the night. The editor
awakened and questioned the intrud
er : "What do you want here? What
look you for?" Said the burglar,
grullly, "Money." "Hold on a min
ute," quoth the editor, "and I fill
help you ; I've been looking myself
for ten years, but perhaps the two of
ua may hayp bettor luck." Then was
the burglar much disgusted, but the
editor called it a joke and insisted
j that the burglar ought to sot 'em up.
Our Jury System.
The grand jury of Fairfield County,
in its report to the Circuit Court, lias
this to say about the present system
of trial by jury: ''Wo honestly be
lieve that a new law is now needed.
Under the present system one villian
upon a jury is equal to eleven honest
men, and may in all cases even of
the most flagrant naturo, defeat the
ends of justice and run the county to
endless cxponsc by making mistrials
from term to term. If sixteen jurors
were drawn, With twelve to agree,
the difficulty might bo remedied, and
without some change we fear that
trial by jury, as at prosent practiced,
although the boasted bulwark of civ
ilization, will be brought into ridi
cule." This relates to a matter of
very great concern to the people at
large, and the change herein suggest
ed is of no small importance. It
would completely revolutionize the
old method of trial by jury, which we
have been taught to believe from
time out of mind is the gicat bulwark
of civilization, and the question arises,
would the defect of the present sys
tem be remedied b}f the contemplrtcd
change? This is a question which
we will refer to the culm judgment
and careful consideration ol our Leg
islature.?Georgetown Times and Co

The Courtship of Blanqui,
The courtship and marriage of M.
Blanqui, the French revolutiouist, are
said to have been very romantic.
When only nineteen ho became a tu
tor in an aristocratic family living
near Toulouse. He fell in love with
a young lady also residing in the cha
teau, but she was wealthy and he did
not venture to disclose his devotion.
For six years he remained silent,
when at last she discovered his feel
ing, and, returning it, became his
wife. Six 3Tcars afterwards she died,
lilanqui still wears mourning lor her.
In 1818, at the Radical club he pre
sided over, be never took off the
black gloves he habitually wore.
These produced a curious eflect when"
he used gestures to emphasize any
remarks he made in his somewhat
shrill voice. These gloves are of a
peculiar make, and come high up the
wrist like those of a lad}'. The rea
son for this singularity is that the de"
teimlned conspirator still wears on
his wriRt the bracelet of her he loved
and still mourns.
Joining Her Betrothed in Death.
Cincinnati, Oct. q.?Miss Lillic
George, a pupil of the Cincinnati
College of Music, 18 years of age,
whose home is at Ronapartc, Iowa,
was engaged to be married to Mr.
Fred. M. Fcrriman. At 1 a. in. on
Sunday he was taken with congestive
chills, and died at lOp^m. Miss
George attended him faithfully during
his illness, and before he died she
said: "Good-bye, wc will not be
separated long." Yesterday fore
noon, at her boarding house, 311
West Fourth street, she placed the
muzzle of a pistol over her left breast
and fired. There is very little hope
of her recovery.?N. Y. Sun.

Items of Thought.
Poplar, S. C, Oct.-'S, 1879.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat :
How iuactivo and unonthusiastie
everything seems without change!
Earth itself, witli all her grandeur
nnd beauty of seasons, nil her varied
aspects of land and water, would
without change lose many passionate
admirers. While music, that angelic
soul enchauting art, would become
one long, dull, routine of exercise.
Our lives need ohanges ?we are not
contented with the same monotonous
existence, and unsatisfied natures
long for something?and often not
knowing what that something is?on
ly a change,
The youths of our day are not
contented to be always the same;
they look forward to manhood und
womanhood. Tho middle-aged are
consoling memory witty reminis
cences of their past lives, but looking
forward to that change of years,
which is fast approuching. Tho old
look back on their past existence as
a vast scene spread out before thciri,
und themselves the chief actors on
the stage of life. Arc they content
ed? Ask them individually. Here's
the father, who hns been supporting
a family for years, ploughing the
same fields, sowing the same cerials,
and been using the same prayer in
his family since lie felt it his lainily,
since he felt it his conscientious
duty ; if he needs a change? Turn to
the mother, who has been faithful
and considerate to a fault, whose
careworn countenance, expressionless
eyes, and with slow, soft, tread, if
she too, needs a change? Ask the
physician, who knows time as bcr
longing to him exclusively, if he
wants a change. Why do editors cm
ploy their precious moments in look
ing over various exchanges? Because
they wish to Belcct such articles, as
will best suit their subscrib
ers?and also, to permanently
secure that interest, which only a
change of sentiment can obtain. If
wc had only perpetual| moonlight
nights, poets nud authors,- belles and
beaux, would not rav*o so much
about he soft and beaat'??l radiance.
Truly, life may be riglJRy compared
to the tide. Every one has atoms of
pleusme and happiness, bat there is
an ebb and a How of all earthly joys
and griefs. How unutterably sad
must be the life of the unloved ! and
how cheerless is life, without sympa
thy ! 1 quote a few lines, which are
so simple, though so beautiful, '.hat
they cannot fail to be admired and
appreciated :
'?Life! we have been long together.
Through pluasant and through cloudy
weatbeJ;
'Tis hard to part when friends arc dear,
Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear;
Then steal away; give little warning;
Choose thine own time,
Say not goodnight! but in some brighter
dime,
Bid me, good morning !"
John Joel.
Live for Something.
Thousands of men breathe, move
and live?pass off Hie stage of life
aid are heard of no more. Why?
They did not a particlo of good in
this world, and none were blessed by
them ; none could point to them us the
instrument of their redemption ; not
a line they wrote, not a word they
spoke could be recalled ; and so tl?ey
perished, their light went out in dark
ness, they were not remembered more
than the insects of yesterday. Will
you livo and die, O men immortal?
Live for something. Do good, and
leave behind you a monument of vir
tue that the storms of time can never
destro}'. Write your name by kind
ness, love and mercy, upon the hearts
of the thousands you come in contact
with year by year, anil you will never
be forgotten. No! your name, your
deeds, will be as legible on the hearts
you leave behind, as tlio stars on the
brow of evening. Good deeds will
shine as brightly on the earth as the
stars of heaven.
Gukat Mistakks.?To set up our
standard of right and wrong, and
judgo ppople accordingly.
To expect utr'fortuity of opinion in
this world.
To worry otl us and oiir0elvc.s with
what cannot be remedied.
Ifot to make allowances for the in
firmities of others.
To consider every thing impossible
which we cannot perform.
What this great and glorious coun
try of ours needs most just at tlio
present time is a dcuf and dumb poli
tician.
The Old Folks.
Do young people ever think they
will ho old ; they will soon feel that
the grasshopper is a burden and foar
is in the way ? Only a few short
years ago that aged man and feeble
woman were young, strong and
full of life ; their loving hearts were
gushing with tenderness and caro for
the little ones who now stand in their
places. Do not jostle that aged
couple out of your pathway, but. rath
or lift them with tender care over the
rough, declining road. You may
have forgotten bow they kept 3'our
tender feet from stumbling, and with
care they watched your advancing
steps. But they have not forgotten,
and the time will come when you will
be foieibly reminded of it, by the
love you have for your own little ones.
Will they hand you the same bitter
cup to drink that you put out for that
aged father and sltickcn mother?
Verily, "with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you again."
Think of the anxious days and nights
your mother has watched by your
sick bed ; remember her loving care ;
her patience and long-suffering will?
your fretfulncss, and thou let the
blush of shame dye your brow, that!
yon should be impatient or unkind to'
her now that she is'old. Old folks
arc such a trial! Yes, they know it;
they feel it! and so will you bo such
a trial to your children in the days
that will surely come ; aye, and you
j will remember, too!
A Modol Rat Killer.
One day a tramp walked into a
barroom out West, and, representing
himself as the champion rat-killer of
the States, told the proprietress that,
it: considciation of a good dinner, he
would destroy every rat upon the
premises. To tins she readily con
sented, as the house was indeed ter
ribly infested with the vermin. The
tramp was marshaled into the dining
room and enough eatables were set
before him for three ordinary men,
which he went through in double
quick time ; he then smacked his lips
and called for something to drink to
wash the food down. The landlady
gave him a flask of "old rye," and by
the lime that was gone he declared
himself satisfied and said: "Now,
then, clear the room of everything,
get me a club, and I am ready for
business," Curious to know how be
was going to proceed, and chuckling
Iq herself as she thought how cheaply
she was getting rid of the rats, she
; soon placed a club in his hands. He
rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his
hands together, and, holding tho club
aloft, yelled : "Now, then, old wo
man, trot out your rats; 1 feel like
annihilating a couple of thousand of
them 1"
Loveliness.
What constitutes true loveliness?
Not tho polished brow, the gaudy
dress, nor the show and parade of
fashionable life. A woman may have
all the outward marks of beauty, and
yet not possess a lovely character.
It is the bonevolent disposition, the
kind acts, and the Christain depart
ment. It is in the heart, where mock
ncss, truth, affection, humanity arc
found, whore we look for loveliness ;
nor do we look in vain. The wo
mau who can smooth the aching heart,
smooth'the wrinkled brow, alleviate
the anguish of the mind, nnd pour
the balm of consolation in the wound
ed breast, possosscs, in an eminent
degree, true liveliness of character.
It is such a character that blesses with
warmth and sunshine, and makes
earth to resemble paradise,
An instance of hereditary in crimo
is furnished by Elias Phillips, of Free
town, Mass., who recently appeared
as a witness in a burglary trial, hav
ing turned State's evidence. He is a
great-grandson of Maibone Briggs, a
notorious criminal, who was in prison
with seven of his sons at one time.
Briggs' ancestry is traced back to a
noted pirate in the time of Earl Bcil
amont, nnd his branch of the family
has, for over n century, furnished
noted criminals in every generation.

Fear Not.
littst night, while Hailing on the sea.
The tender moon looked down on me,
And seemed to write upon the tide
Tide legend strange, in letters wide:
'?Tho' storms be rude, fear not. tear not,
For God hath never yet forgot."
A storm came down, and reckless bore
Our groaning bark from shore to shore.
Ere long, upon tho inky main.
That samo sweet legend shone again :
"Tho' storms ho rude, fear not. tear not.
For God hath never yet forgot."
So tho' my soul be troubled now,
And tempest bid my courage bow,
Still will I chant the sky-born hymn
I read upon the waters dim :
?'Tho' storms be rude, fear not. fear not,
For God hath never }-et forgot."
Second Marriages.
The subject of step-mothers having
provoked many effusions from the
members of the "Household" in the
Detroit Free. Press, one of the writers
sums up the questions as follows:
"As a rule, second marriages arc as
happy as first. As a rule, second
wives are far better than first wives,
and in suppott of my views, give the
following reasons : Second marriages
arc made with more care for the po
sition and relation to be occupied
than the first; aud although the love
may not be so ardent, the tenderness,
care and consideration aro greater.
Many a young man, for his wife,marri
ed a pretty face, beautiful dancer, antl
found to his sorrow that that was all
he had married, except, pet haps, an
invalid; or worse, incompetent, or
worse still, a vain, insolent creature
for a wife. But in second marriage
these things are looked after, conse
quently are more suitable, more har
monious, nnd fewer divorces or fami
lj' quarrels. Second wives fare bct
l ler than first. A man who has lost
a good wife will be altogether more
careful and considerate of p second.
The time spent in caring for the
sick ; the death ; the sorrow ; the time
for reflection, all have a tendency to
make the heart more tender and con
siderate for a second wife.
The Family Circle.
If there is any bond in life that
ought to be sacredly guarded from
everything that can put it in peril, it
is that which unites the members of
a family. If there be a spot upon
earth from which strife should be
banished, it is the fireside. There
contre the fondest hopes and the ten
derest affections.
How lovely the spectacle presented
by that family which is governed by
tlio right spirit! Knob strives io
avoid giving ofTence, and is studious
ly considerate of the other's happi
ness. Sweet, loving dispositions are
cultivated by all and each tries to
surpass the other in his efforts for
the common harmony. Each heart
glows with love ; aud the benediction
of heavenly peace seems to abide
upon that dwelling with such power
that no black fieud of passion can
rear his head within it
Who would not realize this lovely
picture? It may be realized by all
who will employ the appointed means.
Let the precepts of the Gospel be ap
plied as they are designed to be, and
they will be found to shed a holy
charm upon the family circle, and
make it what God designed it should
be, the most heaven-like scene on
earth.
A Fly Story.
The Anderson, S. C, Journal)
says : Wc arc informed on the most
reliable authority of the following re
markable incident: Last week a little
white girl, living with Mrs. Joe. Ne
ville, of Walhalla, felt a disagreeable
buzzing in her car, when Mrs. Neville
undertook to relieve it by pouring in
a few drops of sweet oil. When this
was done a common house fly made its
appearance from the orifice of the car
antl it was followed by others until
sixty-four came out by actual count.
Being covered with oil, the flies were
assisted out with a feather, but how
came them there is the question.
The Hood Orphans.
The Columbus Enquirer sees it
stated that the children of Gen.. Jo
seph Wheeler, in North Alabama, are
preparing an extra fine bale of cotton,
which will be sent to New York to
be sold for the benefit of General
Hood's orphans. Brass tics and
heavy cotton duck have been ordered
from Nashville to put it up with.
This is a generous expression of sym
pathy, and just such a one as might
have been expected from children
whose father was as true and brave
as thcir's, and who was a friend aud
comrade of tho gallant Hood.
An Enquiry Answered.
Editor Oranyebury Democrat:
I see in the Times of hist week
an inquiry from "A Forker," want
ing to know why it is that the Barn
well and Colleton boys all come to
Ornngeburg for wives, while none of
tho Orangeburg boys ever go to
Barn well or Colleton in search of
better halves. In reply I will state,
for the benefit of "A Forker," that
he is not posted nnd knows nothing
of that which he writes. I know one
family of seven sons, four of whom
got wives in Barnwell County, and
one more of the same family that will
soon do-likewise. Now, "Forker," I
can tell you WI13' tho boys in Barn
well come to Orangeburg for wives.
They know that a prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country.
It is not because Barnwell has no
pretty girls in her territory. I tliinfc
"Forker" had better got the position
of census-taker nnd in that way he
could investigate the matter, and li2
will find to his surprise that ten times
as many boys go to Barnwell lor
wives as come toOiangcburg from
Barnwell, nnd the reason i3 simply
this, the Ornngeburg boys are so<
good looking that the Barnwell boys
don't stand any chance when we put
in an appearance, but we can go any
where and "hold the fort." Don't bo
alarmed, "Forker," if you.are-a.true
son of old Orangcburg's soiliyou are
safe at home and the Barnweliibov?
won't hurt you. If one of thorn'.has*
taken your sweetheart, it is your-own.

Origin of Dixie.
The Baltimore Gazette says r. Some
years ago, long before the war a-iVeryi
musical family by the name of' Dixie.,
lived in Worcester, Mass. Ooo of
the brothers, Walston Dixie, we be-,
lieve, decided to appl}' hi3 tnlento-in.
the negro minstrelsy line, and aeon,
the famous Dixie minstrels were^
known from one end of the corsntny.
to the other. This same f?undertoft:
the troupe wrote the celeoriHwh,
song, "Dixie's Laud," which attain
ed such great popularity. It wov
verily the land for him, as he found '
in the Southern* States the germs of
the quaint negro songs, which ho
brushed up nnd placed in his pro
gramme. The South adopted the
song nnd hence allowed this gifted
minstrel of Massachusetts to give
that section of U12 country a new
name, which will always stick.
Many songs were adopted and sec
tionalized in this way. Our own
"Yankee Doodle" was written by an
Englishman as a satire, but our an
esctors picked it up and gave it a
home.
Crimes at the North.
One of the most absurd charges
brought against the South is the vio
lence and lawlessness that are said to
prevail. It is absurd when we con
sider the source aud in view or what
is daily occurring at the North. For
the last few days we have partially
scanned the record of Northern crime,
nnd wc do not hesitate to affirm that,
population considered, there is double
the crime in the Northern States that
there is in the Southern States. We
do not say this by way of revenge or
rejoicing, but because the "records
will sustain the charge. It requires
a vast deal of check in any people to
bo burling accusations at their neigh
bors when greater cause for com
plaint lies at their own doors. There
is a refinement and ingenuity of sav
agery and diabolism in the crimes of
the North of which our scoundrels as
yet know nothing.?* Wilmington Star.
