WHICH SHALL IT BE i
"Which shall it be ? which shall it be ?
I looked at John?John looked at me.
(Dear, patient John, who loves me yet,
As well as though my locks were jet.)
And when I found that I must speak,
My oice seemed strangely low and weak;
"Tell me again what Robert Baid
And then I listening bent my head.
"This is his letter:"
"I will give
A boose anil land while you shall lite, n
W, in return, from out of your seven,
Doe child to me for aye is given."
I looked at John's old garments worn,
I thought of all that John had borne
Of poverty, and work and care,
Whioh I, though willing, could not share;
Of seven hungry mouths to feed.
Of seven little children's need,
And then of this.
"Come, John," said I,
"We'll choose among them as they lie
Asleepso walking hand in hand.
Dear John and I surveyed our hand.
First to the cradle lightly stepped,
Where Lillian, the baby, slept;
Her damp curls lay like gold, alight,
A glory 'gainst the pillow white:
Softly her father stooped to lay
Hia rough hand down in loving way,
When dream or whisper made her stir,
And huskily he said, "Not her."
We stooped beside the trundle bed,
And one long ray of lamp light sbed
Athwart the boyish faces there,
In sleeD bo nitiful and fair.
I nv on Jamie's rough, red cheek
A tear undried: ere John could speak,
He's but a baby, too," said I,
And kissed him as we hurried by.
Pale, patient Robbie's angel face
Still in his face bore suffering's trace;
No, not for a thousand crowns, not him,"
He whispered, while our eyes grew dim.
Poor Dick! Bad Dick! our wayward son,
Tnrbulent, reckless, idle one?
Could he be spared ! Nay, He who gave,
Bids as befriend him to the grave;
Only a mother's heart oan be
Patient enough for such as he;
"And so," said John, '-I would not dare
Tft flAnrl Him frnm hnr Korl.aitln nravor "
- ~ -v. r--j ?
Then stole we softly up above,
And knelt by Mary, child of love;
"Perhaps for her 'twould better be,"
I said to John. Quite silently
He liftedJup a curl that lay
Across her cheek in willful way,
And shook his head: "Nay, love, not thee,"
The while my heart beat audibly.
Only one more, our eldest lad,
Trusty and truthful, good and glad?
So like bis father; "ho, John, no;
I cannot, will not let him go."
And so we wrote^injcourteous way,
We could not give one child away
And afterward toil lighter seemed,
Thinking of that of which we dreamed;
Happy, in truth, that not one face
We missed from its accustomed place;
Thankful to work for all the seven,
Trusting them to One in Heaven.
A Disheartened Insurance Agent
A family named Kemper moved into
a house in our row last week, writes
Max Adler, and Benjamin P. Gunn,
the life insurance agent, who lives in
A! /? . 11 1 TT .1 .1
tne same row, nrst cauea. ne uroppeu
in to see if he could not take out a
policy .for Mr. Kemper. Mrs Keeper
came down to the parlor to see him.
"I suppose/' said Gunn, " that Mr.
Kemper has no insurance on his life."
"No," said Mrs Kemper.
"Well, I'd like to get him to take
* out a policy in our company. Its the
safest in the world: the largest capital,
smallest losses and biggest dividends."
"Mr. Kemper don't take much interest
in such things now," said Mrs.
Kemper.
" Well, madam, but he ought to,
in common justice to you. . No man
knows when he will die, and by paying
a" ridiculously small sum now, Mr. K.
can leave his family in affluence.?
I'd like to hand you, for him, a few
pamphlets containing statistics on the
subject; may I ?"
"Of course, if you wish to."
"Don't you think he can be induced
to insure?" asked Gunn.
"I hardlv think mo." rnnlied Mrs.
Kemper.
"lie is in good health, I suppose?
Hm he complained lately of' being
sick?"
"Not lately."
"May I ask if he has any considerable
wealth?"
"Not a cent."
"Then of course he must insure.?
No poor man can afford to neglect such
an opportunity. I suppose he travels
sometimes: goes about in railroad cars
and other dangerous places."
"No, he keeps very quiet."
"Man of steady habits, I s'posc ?"
"Very steady."
"He is just the very man I want,"
said Gunn; "1 know I can sell him a
policy."
"I don't think you can," replied
Mrs. Kemner.
"Why ? When will he be' home ?
I'll call on him. I don't know any
reason why I shouldn't insure him."
"I know," replied Mrt Kemper.
"Why r
"He has been dead twenty-seven
years !" said the widow. Then Gunn
left all of a sudden. He will not insure
any of the Kempers.
"Doctor," said a thick headed youth
to Agassiz, "You once said that fish
is the proper food for men to eat who
have brain work to perform. How
much ought I to eat to tone me up
properly?" "About two whale?," was
the reply.
Grange Secrets Revealed.
How Initiations are Conducted.
On being brought into the anteroom
of the lodge, (Greengrocer Temple,
No. 101,) I was told I had been
balloted for and accepted. My infor
mant, who was securely masked by
what I afterwards learned was a large
burdock leaf perforated with holes for
the eyes, told me that if I valued my
life it would be nececssary for me to
strip. As I did consider that of considerable
worth to me, and as he italicized
his wishes by carelessly playing
with a seven-shooter, I withdrew from
mv cmrments with eagerness. My
masked friend then furnished me "with
the regalia of the first degree, called
" The Festive Ploughboy," which
consisted merely of one large cabbage
leaf attached to a waist-band of potato
vines. In an airy costume I was
conducted to the door, where my companion
gave three distinct raps. (I
was securely blind-folded by binding
a slice of ruta-bagas over each eye.)
A sepulchral voice from within asked,
"who comes ?"
My guide answered: "A youthful
agriculturist who desires to become a
granger." ~ I
Sepulchral Voice?Have you looked
him carefully over'(
Guide?I have, noble gate-geeper.
S. V,?Do you find any agricultural
marks about him ?
Guide?I do.
S- M.?What are they'(
Guide?The candidate has carroty
hatf, reddish whiskers and a turn-up
nose.
S. V.?'Tis well. Why do you desire
to become a granger ?
Guide (answering for candidate)?
That I may be thereby the better enabled
to harrow up the feelings of the
rascally politicians.
S. V.?You will bring in the candidate.
My worthy stripling, as you can
not see, I will cause you to feel that
you are received at the door on the
three points of a pitchfork, piercing
the region of the stomach, which is to
teach you the three^great virtues?
faith, hope and charity. Faith in yourself
hope for a cheaper farm and machinery,
and charity for the lightningrod
peddler. You will now be harnessed,
and in representation of the horse
Pegasus, will be tested as to enduranee
and winit.
The candidate is here attached to a
small imitation plow by means of a
hempen harness. A dried pumpkin
vine, is put in his mouth for a bit and
bridle; he is made to get down upon
all-fours, the guide seizes the bridle,
and urged on by a granger armed with
a Canada thistle, tho candidate is galloped
three times around the room.
While making the circuit, the members
arise and sing :
Get up and dust, you bully boy,
. Whft WAiil.lii't a itranaar "
If the thistle's prick don't cause you joy,
To feeling you must be estranged, eh!
After thia violent exercise, he is
rubbed with corn-cobs, bees-waxed
where thistled, and brought standing
up before the great chief?the Most
Worshipful Pumkin-kead.
M. W. P. II.?Why Jo you desire
to become a granger ?
Candidate; (answering for himself),
That I may learn to extinguish sewingmachine
agents.
M. W: P. II.?Have your hands
been hardened with toil.
Candidate?Not extensively, but
then I am not running for office.
M. W. P. II.?Tis well, for our
lodges contain several who are supposed
to be ready to sacrifice themselves
for the good of their constituents.
M. W. P. II. (Savagely)?Givcmca
chaw of tobacco!
Candidate, searching himself, but
as there i3 no place about him to strike
a pocket, tries to explain, but the Most
Worshipful Pumpkin-head interrupts
him with?
"Never mind, my young friend, I
am well aware that in your present
condition you can no more furnish
your friends with the weed than Adam
could be comfortable in a plughat and
tight boots. It is merely to teach you
the great lesson cf economy?doing to
others as you'd like to have them do to
you. You will now be conducted to the
Most Eminent Squash-producer, who
will teach you the grand hailing-sign
of distress. The sign, my worthy brother,
will insure you against mo3t of
the ills of the agriculturist?amongst
others, against droughts and being bit
oy the terocious grass-hopper.
The candidate is now conducted to
the Most Eminent Squash-producer,
who thus says; 4,My worthy brother,
I will now invest you with the order
of the Festive I'loughboy, which you
have well won by your heroic achievement
while jharaessed; may you ever
wear it with nleasure to Yourself, and
may it bo a means of terror to your
enemies."
(The M. E, C. P. then proceeds to
invest the candidate with the regalia
of the Festive Ploughboy, which consists
of a long tomato necklace.)
" The grand hailing-sign of distress
is made by gently closing the left eye,
laying the right fore-finger alongside
the nose, an<t violently wagging the
ears. It requires practice, but the advantages
are intense. It also has a
most impoi taut signification, which you
will do well to heed. The closing of
the eye signifies that in all your dealings
with mankind, you are bound to
have an eye to business. Laying the
finger alongside the nose is emblematical
of wisdom, and places you at once
among the "knowing ones.' This is
extremely handy in prognosticates
m *
new weather, and saves the wear and
tear of almanacs. Wagging the ears
signifies sublimity of purpose, and is
thought to be emblematical of childhood's
happy hours. It is also supposed
by some profound scholars to have
a distinct reference to apple dumplings,
but this fact is somewhat obscured
by the dust of ages. In token that
you are one of us, you willl now be
branded. When one granger desires
to ascertain for sure, if there is another
of the order in the room, he raises
himKplf orfMitlv bv the slack of his un
0 ^ -1/
mentionables, scratches his off thigh
with his nearer hoof, and remarks in a
voice of thunder: "Are there any
grangers about?" The answer is'Jeese- s
wax.'" ' 8
I was here interrupted, Mr. Editor,
by a volley fired into the open window,
evidently intended for me. Fortunately
I escaped without a scratch, and, j
which is of more consequence, succeeded
in fetching off my precious manuscript.
This is about all there is in
the ceremony of any importance. I <

Dr. J. Walker's California
Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from
the native herbs found on the lower
ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains
of California, the medicinal
properties of which ara extracted
therefrom without the use of Alcohol.
The question is almost daily asked,
" What is the cause of the unparalleled
success of Vinegar BitTims
f Our answer is. that they
removo the cause of disease, and
the patient recovers his health. They
are the great blood pariiier and a
life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator
and Invigorator of. the system.
Never before in the history of the world
