New Y u-k, a il; to tr.i 1 , tr.i:u ; an I ;
gamble with gold, why all the middle
men who handle oar produce must be
governed so sensitively by the rise and j
fall of gold.
For instance, yon go to
town toilav with a load of produce to
se.l, and the price yoli are offered is impudence and scorn, and black-ball j , . 1 1 i i j i i 1 1 which I h;id tigivi'd to set
vtrv much lower than it was yesterd ay, them so black that they would be ; lt JinJ othpr ihlY i the list
for the s ime article; of course you are
somewhat astonished, and a little
blandly inquire what is the cause of j
,J,t . iT..in..;i,.M in t..- mice of !
pro luce, in so short a time. Mr. grain- :
b.iyer, before whom you stand and al-
moot shudder, verv pertinently replies, !
why, my dear sir, gold fell in .New
York, yesterday. Well, now, that is a
stunner; and what if it did! way in
the name of common sense the value
of the products of our hard labor are
to be so seriously affected because a
verv small number of men in New
York city trade and tr.nlic with gold, !
and thereby destroy the law of de- j
maud and supplv, is in re than 1 cm !
clearlv understand. And, in my opin- i
ion, the farmers of our land should, in
some manner, deatrov this thieving,
swindling : nl rascally operation, an I .
give these men, wno buy oar products,
to cleariy understand, tu.it we will
raise them grain mid produce at fair
and reasonable figures,- witliytit any re
gard to the gold gamblers of New York
City.
But, Brother Patrons, there are bet-
ter Java coming for the agriculturist! !
of this lau I, and tha city jieople begin i
to see it, and now and then drop words ;
of fear. Here is one taken from a re- j
..ut. .....eher f the New York Tribune.
andreads as follows:
"ICis said that the co-operative so- ;
ciety of dinners in Iowa control one-'
i third the grain warehouses and t ieva
i tors in that .State. If this is thus. ;
j woere are the tesultsV" j
This is short, but there is a shaking
and rattling of fear in every word of
that sentence, and they plainl see that
the "handwriting is upon the wall,"
and that farmers of this country are
botind to have a fair remuneration for
the products of their toil.
Who are eligible to become members '
t of a Orange? Tnis is a question sus-
cejililae of a great deal of unnecessary
t.dk, and liable to cause some hard
feeling on the pari of those who are
iet eligible to become iir rnveis of our
(ri iiige. The instructions, howvver,
ffi.in the "National Orange to the leiu-
s, in regard to tne oi(,..tnuaii.n o.
O ranges, i; very plain, una re,ds is fol- . tiary to the interest of tiiose non-pro-I'.ws:
"Wiieifver a Deputy ha d.:er- j dain r tn.-m'r.. whea.ver t!i"V should
mini I thet tho iifi.ercsts of t!.- ortter I see ii to oppose u.s ; an I we would

ids iirst duty is to expi:::u the ing our gates properly gti irde.l.
objoets of tie' order, whenever require I A passing note and I am done; and
so to do; but in any event tiiose desir- 1 that is the singular manifestations of
ing to organize a Orange should be in- ; the three dispositions of human nature
formed of the imiortance of the work as drawn out by the organization of
they proiH'Se to undertake so that the our Order: The agreeable disposition
responsibility may ut be assumed
without due delib"i"iti;n ; that it i is verv reluetantiv shown out bv the

would be better no Orange should be ; merchants; but a few are wise enough
organize 1, if they "do not propo.se to j to keep their mouths shut; and endeav
c.irry out the objects in full faith to ! or to retain their old customers with
themselves and the mendiers of the
order generally; that in union there is ;
H o. ...! ..-: !.....- ;t .-. r.i.i , ... . . I !
ZMit-uiij. ur.i w iiiii'tii 11 u v-'i 1 1 u oi o i , inn
perhaps dissolution. These points and
others ofhnected therewith cannot be
too carefully and strongly urged, so
that none may enter the order ignorant
of the high duties they take Upon
themselves. This being done, to his
own satisfaction at least, the Deputy
will require si list of the names of
those proposing to enter the Orange,
and the charter fee for each; he will
satisfy himself that none are on it who
are not engaged in farming pursuits,
liecause it is not safe to open a Orange
to a:iv otiiers. as it is erijt.'i di-ally a
farmers' institution, and the base mutt
rest upon farmers id one."
The above quotation is very plain
and decisive, but just so long sis the
disposition of hum in nature is of three
kinds, one sigreesible, one mulish, sind
the other selfish, just so long men will
persist in calling white, black, and
black, white; and this i3 very natural,
indeed it is human nature to perfec
tion, for lu in to advocate that which
he conceives to lie for his pecu.iiary
inteTcst. " For instance, the grain-buyer
will tell yon that his interest is with
the farmers, because he buys grain of
them, sind he; will mike supplication to
become si member of our order, he
city m fli mies sin 1 laborers will say
their interest is with the farmers, be
cause they are opposed to Hie profits
those middle men make between the
pr.iducer and - consumer. Well, now,
this is all very nice flattery, and suits
them and their interests very well, if
thev can succeed in making you be-
Have iti Iefc us look at the facts in
Plattsmoutfc, Nebraska,
the case and see if the intoreit of one ;
i nut exactly the reverse of the other, j
The farmer is a producer; it is for his 1
tetest to buy his farming tools, and all
th.it he purchases of mechanics and j
manufacturers as cheaply as he can. j
V,iw look- at tlie other side. The ;
! grain-buyer, the merchant, and the trie- j
chanie swe consumers of but not pro- j
ducers of farm products. It is for
Uieir interest to buy everything of the '

were the Farmers to make an applica- j
tion to become members of their or- ;
unitizations they would laugh them to

it is so with all the organizations that
aw organized to sap

nd leech the

into the creek, which lias a grade of
490 feet per mile, with many falls froiii
fifteen to twenty feet in height. Down
this creek they went at si terrible rate,
avoiding the boulders and stones sind
going over the falls right side up, as by
a miracle. Six miles below they were

As'to the week's board, there was no

made out things which wer

to be so:
New boots. Handkerchiefs,
New slippers. Cults,
A new bonnet, Collars,
New gloves, Neckties,
New morning dress. Hose,
A new black mohair.
Jack had looked over the list with
was tl)0r,.f he C(,nci.1(i(,ti with me
that 1 was economical, and had given
me the money to buy them, for, as I
bad said to myself repeatedly, T can
not afford to have any one handsome
thing, so I will have an abundant sup
ply of plainer things."
But now my money was all gone.
So all I could do was to cry softly,
lest Miss Triggs, who 1 knew was lis
tening, should hear me, and, in conse
quence, my tears dried up so much the
sooner.
Bv this time it was late in the after
noon, and dinner coining on,' and fear
ing lest my ileal" husband would dis
cover that something had gone wrong,
and. perhaps, finding out the truth,
would scold unmercifully (for we had
been married more than a year), I
washed my face, prepared to right up
the room and dress.
There lay the hated cause of all my
distress. But as much a I hated, it I
thought to myself that I would take
just one look before hiding it away.
So, undoing the brown cover, I did
look, and looking, was tempted to feel
the texture, ahd having done that, to
unroll it a little way ami gather it up
in m.iki'-believe folds, :is the clerks do.
Certainly, il was a very nice silk, and
farther more, it would wear well. The
p iltte clerk h id assured mo of that
fact, and I had always understood that
the clerks of that establishment did
not dare to mislead confiding custom
ers. Aitd tltr re was no doubt, whatever,
that the two silks I had when I was
in irried, were now becoming shabby,
and that it was time to have a new
one;
So with something like an affection
for my injudicious purchase. I hid it
away, concluded to put a good face on
matters as the only means of avoiding
discovery, and set mvself in earnest to
j the task of preparing in the" best possi
I ble m inner to receive iny darling Jack,
i by whom I was so apprehensive of be
j ing S"oided. should he discover the
, truth.
i In eiip-jcquenee, on the entrance of
1 that iVoithy three-quarters of an hour
' later, I was .seated apparently all mild
; composure i i the little blue rocking
i chair, with its m tie, t lie rid loeking-
chair elose beside me.
in oroer i- erase ;tu traces oi mv
tears, I had dressed myself with partic
ular c ue, so I doubt not looked well,
at least in his eye.
"I fixed this chair close beside me all
ready for you, my dear," I said affec
tionately. "Did you. my darling? That I might
admire the fresh roses on your cheeks.
Your eyes are bright, nnd you look so
pretty. I am more in love with you
than ever," was the answer.
"How easily men are fooied," thought
I, but I said:
"My darling Jack."
- i . .ii . . - e .
And he said
"Mv darling little wife, Idc love vou
," sind he kissed me. "
"All verv fine!" I thought, but it

I " 1

to tell him sibout the siik dress.

so suppose we go to tiie theatre to
night, it will be onlv a couple of dol
lars." "A coupl of dollars," thought T, 'T
will trv sind get hold of that for my
self." "
So I said:
"Suppose you give me the two dol
lars, ;md I will read si story to you this
evening instead."
"Head a stoiy instead! "Why this is
the first time 1 ever knew you to de
cline an invitation to the thesitre. I
can guess the reason : you hsive not or
dered yrur new bonnet, and you will
not go until you do. I see through you,
you little minx. So order your bonnet
this week, and we will go the next;"
"Order mv bonnet," thought I in
affright. "Ah, if he did but know I
had spent the money!"
But I ssiid:.
"Yes," and my dear Jsick in the be
lief that he had divined my inmost
thoughts was ssitistied.
"Here," said he fumbling in his pock
et, "here, you Jew, take your two dol
lars smd resid me the story after din
ner." For, just then, the bell rang. Down
we went, and the evening p isse I olt
successfully:
But while Jack slept tranquilly, I
was awstke, my brain devising a hun
dred different schemes.
Here were' two dollors, but how w;W
that to buy sill. the lists of articles I
absolutely needed?
My mind recoiled from the effort of
attempting to grsisp the whole subject,
so in very wesikness I was driven -to
tsike one thing at a time; and this one
thing now, was the bonnet. J ack had

with anathemas of the black silk.
"Couldn't vou be like Mrs. Nichols?
i whispered an inspirat ion.
"Oh, never, never, I wish I could,
and in despair, I would have begun to
cry again, but for fear of waking my
slumbering spouse, so tired with think

How T wisjR.d j wm, Mrs. Nichols, but
I was not.
After much thought, I determined
to go out and see the styles, and in a
vague and despondent mood emerged
on Broadwav. where, indeed, there was
no lack of bonnets to be seen: high, !
low, broad, narrow, anything and every
thing; so maybe, 1 might Jiit on some
thing. "Where shall I begin?" I asked mv
self. "With the frame: that is the found
ation the proper beginning," was my
answer to myself.
After much attentive 'observation, I
concluded that last year's bonnet-frame
would answer. Then rose the question
of materials. How about last year's
velvet? Would it not answer again ?
And the lace, brushed and put on dif
ferently. "Well, I would try." ,
S 1 went home and devoted the af
ternoon to trying, and concluded that
velvet and lace were !oth good, and
might be used once more;

she was not in town, and meanwhile,
something must be done, fo'r but two
days more of the week remained, and
on Sunday I must appear in si new Imui
net, or run the risk of a discovery.
On Friday morning, bright and early,
I sat down with everything in th" wav
of bonnet material around lie- that I
could muster, and began my task.
And si dread'"ul one it was. Noth

But. toward afternoon, matters went
better. I had the frame all nicely cov-

trace of davlight, and bv the next
morning, so far had I progressed that
I ventured out to purchase the flower.
For, had I not two dollars?
And I bought it; put it on, and my
new bonnet was finished.
All this time, knowing I stoxlon

night he was in the best humor possi

Sunday morning was clear, and,
therefore, as I had anticipated. Jack
was inclined to go to Church.
So he said to rne:

and have everything fixed." I ?aid.

t last, when all was ready. I took
the bonnet from my trunk and put it
on.
"Lovely", cried Jacfcj "better even

"Like iny last winter's bonnet ! Why,
I sun astonished ; thsit issilout sis much

"Well, well," said my discomfited
lord, "I observed it w;is lilac, sis the
other wsis, but it liecomes you, and
thsit is the main thing. It must have
cost at lesist fifteen dollars, and thsit
makes quite a hole in the sixty I g;ive

You ought, indeed, to have had six

ssicrificed a great deal in marrying a
poor man. You ought to have :i hsmd
some silk to wear with that lxmnct,
but it will le si long, longtime before I
will be able to give you si silk.
"There are other tilings more import

wisdom of an owl.
"OIu yes. my desir. Some women
would insist on my giving them si silk
whether I could alford it or no, but you
are not one of thsit kind ; you hare more
sense."
"But I'll tell you wh.it," he contin
ued; sifter si pause, "you seem to spend
your nloney so judiciously thsit I will
give you ten more. I will give it to
you at once, for fesir I Should spend it."
And he banded it over 011 the sot.
All this while I had been putting oil
my gloves, which were a little too
small, but which inside my hands look
all the smaller. Jack wan hunting up
his prayer book, and and both of these
tasks being accomplished, we started
off.

On Monday morning, encouraged by
the success of the day previous 1 dived
into the bottom of my trunk, and took
out the silk. Certainly- it was an ex

morning uit-ss, a new lii'ju.iii, a u-
bonnet.
I began a review from the Nit loin of
the list. The fifteen! lollars allotted 1 1 ;
the purchase of a new bonnet had leen
saved. A new mohair. Suppose I re- !
made last vear's, as 1 had done the bon
net. Inflamed with the idea, I seized it,
turned it up anil down. I would, in
deed, I .would.
This year I would wear it wrong
side out, and, carefully smoothed, no
one would know the difference.
Then came up the wrapper question.
T had tho.uglit it would be niee to
have a new wrapter, but on examina
tion, found that tiie one I already had
would look well for at least a season
longer.
So here were the three principal arti-
cles disposed of: bonnet, dress and
wrapper.
Finally, ami to make a long story
short, I thought on consideration that
each minor article might be dispelled
with by a longer and more careful
wear of what 1 already had, and en
couraged by my first success, 1 said:
"1 will try."
And I did.
No one knows, no one ever can know,
the amount of toil and patient labor
which I underwent. How gradually 1
accomplished all.
To re ulake that mohair, and in the
making, save a dressmaker's bill.
It cost me two headache and one
crying spell, which was nearly over
heard by Miss Triggs, who listened at
my door half her time.
But then it was doiu, and Jack was
as completely lakcn.in as he was on the
bonnet question.
That was my reward. . .
Mind: I did not say it was new.
He, like a silly man, said:
"Oh, what a nice new mohair!"
And I said:
"Do vou like it? Then I am satis
fied." Finally, I made the silk. After su
perhuman struggles it was done.

for lining, buttons, and the like, 1

"You are the smartest, prettiest wo

"Smart enough to cheat you," I an

you have scolded, if I had told you at
the time?"
"Of course. I should," but he added,
thought fully." vou didn't spend any

"precisely. I didn't sisk you for any

"No."
"If 1 had. vou would have been cross,
i wouldn't you?
"Yes
After this. I had a new silk every
Spring and Fall.
Miss Triggs was shocked, aiitl said.
"I would ruin my husband, tmd that
we quarrelled dreadfully."
But. then, I did not care for Miss
Triggs.
