The following circular letter which has joat been received, ex plsius itself: "The State Grange of South Car oliua will bold its auuual meeting in the City of Columbia ou the 0th of February at 11 o’clock A. M^ a full meeting of which is desired. ‘ You are most earnestly request ed to see that your Gr. uge is rep resented, aud to use your efforts iu the reorganization of dojmant Granges in your section. The Na tional Grange at Topeka, Kansas, waa folly represented at its last meeting, the proceed in as of which will provi nf great interest to the Order throughout theconntiy . The Grange organizatiou commend* itself to the interest of the faimera throughout ihe country By order W. K. Thompson, Master. Thos. W. Holloway, Secretary ” Farmer Boys When boys le.ivs the farm with the impression that they can live easier and better lives at some other buauiesa than farming, no one can blame them tor selling their labor to the b *st advantage. The few busiuesi meu who make a tor- tune and live in splendor are enough to turu their hoprtul young Heads away from bant work and slow re turns ou the old farm home. Every «uccesstul business man is talked about from Vamleibdt down to the tin peddler, when be has plenty ot of tiu. But very little is said about the ubiety iu every huudred of busiuess meu who go insliiugdowu through bankrupty like white beaus through a hole iu a rotten b*g. When boys aud youug meu go into debt ami lUto business they do uot understand the chances are against ’hem. A good, moral char acter is a far higher attainment (.ban grea riches, gamed by doutit ful expedients, that sooner <.r later will have to be iefi behind, as they form no part i f the life that exists forever. Borne good writers, who do not seem to be conversant with what they aie writing mIkht, tell us the boys leave the farm because they are overworked aud harshly used by their parents It is uukiu I aud unjust to blame farmers lor causing the boys to leave the tarm. when almost every oue of them provides better tood am raimeut aud a more comforta ble home, aud give* the rising generation a tar i>e:ter educatiou than they ever receiv d tlienihelv*-*. It our city trieuds have any tear* to shell do not waste th: m on the faimera’ boys, but rattier lament for the boys who uev< r plowed the green field* when the balmy breeze of mom came sweet through ti e orchard bloom. Oue of the reasons the boys leave the farm is because the pub'ic speakers do not Ml them to buckle down bravely to houest work aud have a clean commence sud s clean re.-oid, sud never beg for office or criuge for lavors, nr be a pauper ou any private individual or public iiistituiiou. They like better to cajole the boys and tell them this is a ir e country,’ and all the great men an- needed at the top, and there is a ti ie chance for every boy in America to b.* chosen President; and the young Presi dents begin’o think they are too smart to hoe |H>tatoes aud com ou the old farm. Now tarnuug is wouderiiillv well adaptt d for great, a* Well a* small men. A mau with only one, or even halt a Ul nt, bau live a vir tuous, happy life ou a* farm. If oue has uncommon abilities, hi-cau farm uucom - only well aud do au uncommon amount of good. And there is no mau too g<K>d or too great to be a farmer, and as no one is suffering tor the want of a Presi dent, it is well to keep on plowing; and oh that some plowman wen so good that the mantle of inspira tion might fall on his shoulders.— Evchange. *■ O.AO.TEA A* ChdMt T» Xnr OML PERFECTLY PURE.
