Everybody of course understands that a grange is an association of formers to promote their mutual interests by bringing them into closer commercial relations with wholesalers and manufacturers, and do away, as far as possible, with the profits of middle men. The Hamadryads were wood-nymphs, and among them, according to Grecian mythology, was Pomona, most beautiful of all. She did not love the wild forests and rocky glens, where clear streams fell over precipices, as was natural with woodnymphs, but was particularly enamored of the cultivated fields, the orchard and the garden. In short Pomona was a genuine agricultural girl. She was courted by Satyrs and Fauns, by old Sylvnnus, the Roman wood deity, and the goat-footed Pan, who presided over the forests of Greece. But she only laughed at them and ran away. Vertumnus loved her best of all, yet he sped no better than the rest. Dressed in all sorts of disguises to make himself appear like a farmer boy, he visited her and tried to woo the coy and gentle Pomona. Sometimes he would go to her disguised as a reaper, then as a vine dresser, and again as an apple gatherer or an ox driver. But she wax obdurate. Finally he went to her disguised as an old woman and told her how Vertumnus loved her, and advised her to marry him. And to make her more reflective he told her the story of Iphis and Anaxarete, how Iphishanged himself to the garden gate because of unrequited love, and how Anaxarete then proceeded to be transformed into a marble statute, which at that moment stood in the temple of Venus at Salamis. Then, throwing off his disguise, Vertumnus stood before Pomona in all his youthful beauty. She wilted, and they fell upon each others' neckB and confessed a mutual love. They were married, and forever after lead a life of serene joy amid the scent of new mown hay and the perfume of apple blossoms. Miserable People. Rev. L. E.

Eberhart. your patronage. will be able to care for most of the trade in a fairly satisfactory manner until such time as Mr. Johnson gets the Main street building ready to occupy, which he will push to completion as fast as possible. We take this, our first opportunity, to publicly thank all who so cheerfully helped»at the tire, and have since by word and act showed the deepest sympathy in our loss. Through the papers and by posters we will keep you fully informed as to our plans. We will try to save you money while you patiently await our new opening. Again-thanking you for Our rooms on Findley street are not much damaged and will be fitted up at once with shelves and counters. One room will be used for groceries and the other for dry goods, etc. Thusjwe your wants. To my mind the old day school problem, " Which is the Most Destructive Element—FIRE or WATER." is not fully settled. For a few days, or a week at niost, we ask , the indulgence of our many patrons whilelwe get our recent loss adjusted and our stock replenished that we may as nearly as possible again supply This is an unappreciati ve world. We are oaten up by our own selfishness. We sigh and whine about what we have not, when we should thank Heaven for what we have. How common it is to hear people complain because they cannot dress as well as some other people they know, or live in as line houses, or travel abroad, or indulge in all the luxuries of the rich. What a hardship to be compelled to work for a living, and to be circumscribed in our desires and balked in our wishes. People brood upon their imaginary misfortunes unti they make themselves absolutely miserable, who have all the essentials of happiness. If, instead of "looking the gift horse in the mouth" they were possessed of a sense of gratitude and appreciation forthe good things at their command they would enjoy life muoh better. "How ranch worse off I might be" is a more consoling thought than "How I would like to be rich !" We should occasionally think of the miserable people—the halt, the lame and the blind, the sick and afflicted, and the millions of people there are in the world compared witli whom we are rich, and who would esteem themselves thrice happy and "blessed by all the gods" if they were in our situation.

EBERHART, There can be little doubt that the spot on the outside of the arm, where vaccination is usually performed, has been chosen from motives of convenience rather than lusthetics, and with but small reference to the feelings of the little patients in after life. So far as convenience is concerned nothing could be better; and when the good time comes when to be unvaccinated will be considered a disgrace, no doubt every young lady will be proud to carry her scars open to public view. In the meantime they don't like it, and many attempts have been made to find a better place. On the whole, the moat popular substitute seems to be the leg. The objeotlon to using the leg as a site for vaccination arises chiefly from the difficulty which is found by some mothers in keeping the part diy and clean ; but with modern methods of protected vaccination this may not prove so important as it was when all vaccinations 'were left bare. Take It altogether, however, the most convenient place will probably be found to be on the left flank, over the lower ribs; in feet, just above where the child's napkin comes. If babies were reasonably dressed, that would be a spot on wnich bnt little friction need ever foil, on which it would be easv to apply a protective dressing, and on which the necessary area of cicatrix would not become a deformity. Moreover, much of the trouble which sometimes follows vaccination arises from the area of vesication required, and its being crowded on the small extent of sorfooe offered by the arm. But with a larger area to work upon the vesicles might be farther apart, and it is not Impossible that mnch secondary Inflammation might be saved. AlLhowever, depends upon how the baby la dressed. So long as the attempt is made to make an Infant's olothes nt, it is no use vaccinating Just where they are rare to rub, and toe choloe probably lies between arm and lag—arms tor and legs tor girls.
