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 be
benefitted by the thought, observa
tion and experience of all. Every
one might bring something to read or
to be read, ask some questions, give
Borne item of his own experience new
to the 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 b*, and what a vim
it wouid add to our gatherings 1
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 lust few
yenrs, and who can sa}' the future
will not bring out still more wonder
ful things? Farmers, many of them,
have been behind the times, attending
to their own business, raising their
crops, while sharpers made it their
business to watch the markets, buy
at the lowest price and sell at au ad
vance, thus making money by their
brain labor, often without lifting a
linger, while tho farmer perhaps loses
or is barely paid for his hard labor,
when, had he been better informed,
he might have had the whole profit
himself.
Wc are instructed to adorn our
homes, to make them attractive to
our children, to buy more books,
take more newspapers and magazines,
so that wc 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 perfectly legitimate way except
by purchasing our supplies at whole
sale prices. We arc assured we can
do this at fifty per cent, discount: if
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"'obtain^the .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 arc in
such easy circumstances that 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, which abound
on every side. I do hope all will
feel it their duty and pleasure to
unite in Ibis work, which is intended
equally for the benefit of each and
evory member of the 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 liko the frame
work of a house?useless unless fin
ished and furnished. Our Grange
will be just what we make it; let us
make it a decided success.
Lost Things.
There are a great many things lost
that are found again, and a great
many things that are Jost and never
found. There arc reputations lost
which cannot be regained ; there are
hopes lost, which corn? 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 tho world, if it
were his, to recover. It may have
been hut a single pearl, fro in the
thread of friendship, or a mere hope
of his soul, but it was preciously
dear to him, nnd lifo is sad and dark
without it. The smallest things arc
oftentimes the dearest to the heart of
a man, as for instance a little wife, a
littlo home, etc. What wonder then
that when they arc possessed nothing
could induce hi in to give them up.

Revenge Is Sweet.
A strange nnd terrible revenge was
recently taken by a discarded lover
in Indiana. He was about thirty
years of age, and had been industri
ously courting a girl of fifteen, but
when he came to pop tho question be
was contemptuously rejected, the girl
Baying that ho was old enough to bo
her father. Upon that hint he acted,
for the girl's mother was a buxom
widow of only thirty-five, nnd he
speedily transferred his court to her.
Their marriage Boon followed, and
now the younger lady finds that her
ex-iovor is her step-father. She
thought it was funny until the couple
returned from their wedding tour,
nnd then tho newly-made stepfather
said to her: "My daughter, you ate]
too foud of beaux. Nice young men,
ice-cream and buggy rides are 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 oh" 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
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, are tho 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 lu the
doctors and nurses scut them, and
took no medicine at all. They were
prepared Tor 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 so 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 gute 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. But we have a conso
lation. In a case of this kind?and
we can call upon tho fraternity for
corroborntion of what we assert--the
editor, no matter how ranch he may
be abused, almost always lives to at
tend the funeral and writes tho obitu
ary of all such 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 und 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 had been doing some
thing wrong, the mother, intending to
chastise him called him and laid:
"Come here, sir ; what did you do that
for?" The boy complacently folding
his arms and imitating Iiis father's
manner replied : "See liere, madam,
I don't wish to havo any words with
you !"
A bold, bad burglar recently broke
into the house of an editor in the
vetches of the night. Tho editor |
awakened and questioned the intrud
er : "What do you want here? What
look you for?" Said the burglar,
gruffly, "Money." "Hold on a min
ute," quoth the editor, "npd, I will
help you ; I've been looking myself
for ten years, but perhaps the two of
us may hayp bettor luck." Then was
the burglar much disgusted, Imt the
editor called it a joke and insisted
that the burglar ought to set 'cm up.
Our Jury System.
The grand jury of Fairlleld County,
in its report to the Circuit Court, has
Uiis to say about the prcscut system
of trial by jury : "Wo honestly be
lieve that a new law is now needed.
Under tho present system ouo villian
upon a jury is equal to eleven honest
men, and may in all cases eveu of
tlio most flagrant naturo, defeat the
ends of justice and run the county to
endless expense by ranking mistrials
from term to term. If sixteen jurors
were drawn, With twelve to agree,
the difficulty might bo romedicd, and
without some change we fear that
trial by jury, as at prosent practiced,
although the boasted bulwark of civ
ilization, will bo brought into ridi
cule." This relates to a matter of
very great concern to the peoplo at
large, and the change herein suggest
ed is of in small importance. It
would completely revolutionize the
old method of trial by jury, which we
have becu 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 by the contcmplrted
change? This is a question whicli
we will refer to the calm judgment
and careful consideration of our Lcg
i iaiature.?Georgetown Times and Co

The Courtship of Blanqui,
The courtship and marriage of M.
Blanqui, the French revoluliouist, are
J said to have been very romantic.
When only nineteen he 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 years afterwards she died.
Blanqui still wears mourning lor her.
In 1848, at the Radical club he pre
sided over, he never look off the
black gloves he habitually wore.
These produced a curious effect 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"
terniined conspirator still wears on
his wrist the bracelet of her he loved
and still mourns.

Items of Thought.
Poplar, S. C, Oct'.^, 1879.
Editor Orangeburg Democrat:
How inactive and unonthusiaslic
overylhing sccnis witliout change!
Earth itself, with all her grandeur
and beauty of sensons? all her varied
aspects of land and water, would
without change lose many passionate
admirers. While music, thai angelic
soul enchanting art, would become
one long, dull, routine of exercise.
Our lives need changes?wo arc 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 life sumo;
tlicy look forward to manhood and
womanhood. Tho middlo-ugcd are
consoling memory with reminis
cences of their past lives, but looking
forward to that change of years,
which is fast approaching. Tho old
look back on their past existence as
a vast scene spread out before them,
and themselves the chief actors on
the stage of life. Arc th?y content
ed? Ask them individually. Here's
the father, who has 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 bis conscientious
duty ; if he needs a change? Turn to
the mother, who baa 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 be?
longing to him exclusively, if be
wants a change. Why do editors cm
ploy their precious moments in look
ing over various exchanges? Because
thoy wish to select 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
we had only perpetual" moonlight
nights, poets aud authors* belles and
beaux, would not ra\?o so much
about ho soft und benutzt radiance.
Truly, life may be rigkwy compared
to the tide. Every one has atoms of
pleasuio and happiness, but there is
an ebb and a How of all earthly joys
and griofs. How unutterably sad
must be the life of the unloved ! and
how cheerless is life, without sympa

so simple, though so beautiful, that
they cannot fail to be admired and
appreciated :
'?Life! we have been long together.
Through ploasant and through cloudy
weathe.t:
'Tis hard to part when friends are dear,
Perhaps 'twill cost a .si^h. a tear;
Then steal away; give little warning;
Choose thine own time,
Say not goodnight! but in some brighter
clime,
Bid me, good morning!11

Live for Something.
Thousands of men breathe, move
and live?pass off the stage of life
ard are heard of no more. Why?
They did not n particlo of good in
this world, and none were blessed by
them ; none could point to them as the
instrument of their redemption ; not
a line they wrote, not a word they
spoke could be recalled ; und so they
perished, their light went out in dark
ness, they were not remembered more
than the insects of yesterday. Will
you livo and die, 0 men immortal?
Live for something. Do good, nnd
leave behind you a monument of vir
tue that the storms of time can never
destroy. Write your name by kind
noss, 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 tho stars on the
brow of evening. Good deeds will
shine as brightly on the earth as the
stara of heaven.
Great Mistakes.?To set up our
standard of right and wrong, and
judgo people accordingly.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To worry others and our0elves with
what cannot bo remedied.
N, ot to make allowances for the in
flrmitics of others.
To consider everything impossible
which we cannot perform.
What this great and glorious coun
try of ours needs most just at tho
present time is a deuf and dumb poli

The Old Folks.
Do young people ever 111 ink they

years ago that aged man and feeble
woman wero young, strong and

couple out of your pathway, but. rath

tender feet from stumbling, and wilii

be foieibly reminded of it, by the
love you have for your own little ones.
Will they band you the same hitter.

aged father and stiicken 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 witli
your fretfulness, and then let tho
blush of shame dye your brow, that
you 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 be such
a trial to your children in the days

A Modol Rat Killer.
One day a tramp walked into a
barroom out West, and, representing
himself as the champion rat-killer of
the Stales, told the proprietress that,
in considciation of a good dinner, he
would destroy every rat upon the
premises. To this she readily con
sented, as tho 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 ; lie then smacked his lips
and called for something to drink to
wash the food down. The landlady
gave him a llask of "old rye," and by
tho time thnt was gone he declared
himself satisfied and said: "Now,
then, clear the room of everything,
get me a club, and I nin ready for
business," Curious to know how he
was going to proceed, ami chuckling
to herself as she thought how cheaply
Jsho was getting rid of the rats, she
soon placed a club in Iiis hands. He
rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his
hands together, and, holding the 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 bonevolcnt disposition, the
kind acts, and the Christain depart
ment. It is in the heart, where meek
ness, truth, affection, humanity arc
found, whore we look for loveliness ;
nor do we look in vain. The wo
mau whp can smooth the aching heart,
smooth'the wrinkled brow, alleviate
the anguish of the mind, and pour
the balm of consolation in the wound
icd breast, possosscs, in an eminent
! degree, true liveliness of character.
It is such a character that blesses witli
warmth and sunshine, and makes
earth to rc6einble paradise.
An instance of hereditary in crime
is furnished by Elias Phillips, of Free
town, Mass., who recently appeared
as a witness in a burglary trial, hav

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 Beil
amont, and his branch of the family
has, for over a century, furnished
J noted criminals in every generation.

Fear Not.
Last night, while .sailing on the sea,
The tender moon looked down on me,
And seemed to write upon the tide
This legend strange, in letters wide:
"Tho' storms be rude, fear not. tear not,
For Clod hath never yet forgot."
A storm came down, and reckless bore
Our groaning bark from shore to shore.

That same sweet legend shouo again :
"Tho' storms bo roue, fear not. fear not,
For God hath never yet forgot."
So tho' my soul bo troubled now.

For God hath never yet forgot."
Second Marriages.
The subject of ster)-molhers 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 arc far better than first wives,
and in BUppoit of my views, give the
following reasons : Second marriages
are 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, and
found to his sorrow that that was all
he had married, except, perhaps, 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, and fewer divorces or fami
ly quarrels. Second wives fare bet
ter than first. A man who lias lost
a good wife will be altogether more
careful and considerate of a second.
The time spent in caring for the
sick ; the death ; the sorrow ; the time
for reflection, all have a tendency to
mako 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
the right spirit! Each strives to
avoid giving offence, 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 ; and the benediction
of heavenly peace seems to abide
upon that dwelling with such power
that no black fiend 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 : We arc informed on the most
reliable authority of the tollowing re*
mnrkable incident: Last week a little
white girl, living with Mrs. Joe. Ne
ville, of Walhalla, felt a disagreeable
buzzing in her ear, 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
and it was followed by others until
sixty-four came out by actual count.
Being covered with oil, the ||ies were
assisted out with a feather, but how
came them there is the question.

The Columbus Enquirer sees it
slated that the children of Gen. Jo
seph Wheeler, in North Alabama, are
preparing an extra fine bale of cotton,
which will be sont 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

for the benefit of "A Forker," that
he is not posted and knows nothing

family of seven sons, four of whom
got wives in Barnwcll County, and
one more of the same family that will
soon do-likewise. Now, "Forker," I
can tell you why the boys in Barn
well Gome to Orangcburg 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 think
"Forker" had better got the position
of census-taker and in that way lie
could investigate the matter, and he
will find to his surprise that ten times
as many boys go to Barnwell lor

this, the Orangcburg boys are so?

Origin of Dixie.
The Baltimore Gazette snysr.Somo
years ago, long before the war a.-iveryv i
musical family by the name of Dixie.,
lived in Worcester, Mass. One of
the brothers, Walston Dixie, we be-,
lieve, decided to apply his talenls-in.
the negro minstrelsy line, and soon,
the famous Dixie minstrels were?,,
known from one end of the con-ntny.
to the other. This same foundeE-oft?
the troupe wrote the celebrirJwK
song, "Dixie's Laud," which attain-,
ed such great popularity. It Vlftafe
verily the land lor him, as he found fi
in the Southern9 States the germs of
the quaint negro songs, which he
brushed up and placed in his pro
gramme. The South adopted the
song and hence allowed this gifted
minstrel of Massachusetts to give
that section of tli3 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
csctors 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 of what
is daily occurring at the North. For
the last few days we have partially
scanned the record of Northern crime,
and we do not hesitate to affirm that,
population considered, there is double
the crime in the Northern States that
there is in the Southern States. Wo
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
be hurling accusatious at their noigh
bors when greater cause for com?
plaint lies at their own doors. There
is a refinement and ingenuity of sav
