CONSTITUTION & BY-LAWS Of Hu Order of Patrons of Husbandry OF THE NATIONAL GRANGE, Adopted at the Sixth Annual Session of the National Orange, and In- corporaudj January, 187J. PREAMBLE. TTnmnn Ti a nn!npa in fhA Jfm a nf earthly ambition. . Individual hap - piness depends upon general pros- pen tj. The prosperity of a nation is in proportion to the value of its pro duction. The soil is " the source from whence we derive all that consti tutes wealth : without it we would have no agriculture, no manufac tures, no commerce. Of all the material gifts of the Creator, the various productions of the vegetable world are of the first importance. The art of agriculture is the pa rent and precursor of all arts, and its products the foundation of all wealth. The productions of the earth are subject to the influence of natural laws, invariable aud indisputable; the amount produced will conse quent! y be in proportion to the in telligence of the producer, and suc cess will depend nion his knowl edge of the action of these laws.and the proper application of their prin ciples. Hence, knowledge is the founda tion of happiness. The ultimate object oi this organ ization is for mutual instruction and protection, to lighten labor by diffusing a knowledge of -its aims' and purposes, expand the mind by tracing the beautiful laws the Great Creator has established in the Uni verse, and to enlarge our views of Creative wisdom and power. To those who read aright, history proves that in all ages society is fragmentary, and successful results of general welfare can be secured only by general effort Unity of action cannot be acquired without discipline, and discipline cannot be j enforced without significant organ ization ; hence we have a ceremony ' of initiation which binds ns in mu tual fraternity as with a band ot iron ; out aitnougn its influence is so powerful, its application is as gentle as that of the silken thread that binds a wreath of flowers. ThePatrons of Husbandry consist of the following : ORGANIZATION. Subordinate Granges. First Degree : -Laborer, (man,) Maid, (woman.) Second Degree : Cnltivator,(man,) Shepherdess, (woman.)

Thomas Starr King, then unknowingly near the end of his short but noble and glow- ing lire, was guiding an acquain tance through thedihgy,gold-8trewn recesses of the Government 'Mine building in San Francisco. Paus ing before entering the Secretary's little office, he said : " Now I want you to meet a young man who will be heard of far . and wide some of these days. The visi tor went in and was introduced to Francis Bret Harte, then Secretary of the Branch Mint We all know how the later career ot the young writer has more than justified the affectionate prediction of Starr King; for, since" that day, Bret Harte's ame has, to borrow the language of his admiring German translator, "extended from the coasts of the Pa cific Ocean to the English coast of the North Sea." His works have drawn hearts to him wherever the anguage of Shakespeare, of Milton, and Byron is spoken." From Scrib ner3s for June. ! Thrilling Accident. . A telegram from Bedford Ga., to the Atlanta Constitui ion, says : " This afternoon, near this town, he engineer of the down freight train discovered a little child, about wo years- old, on the railroad track. The faces of the engineer and fire man blanched with terror as they whistled "down brakes, and saw that it was impossible to check the train in time to save the merry prattler, who stood astride tne rail, ooking at the approaching tram, unconscious of danger, and a pleas ing light gleaming from his blue eyes. : The suspense seemed terri ble, and it is said that the hair hair of the engineer is now streaked with gray rrom the intensity of his dread. The fireman, however, at the risk of his own life ran for ward on the engine, and leaping rom the cow catcher, grasped the child and saved it from a ! terrible death." - How a Batchelor Bought a Wife.- Mrs. Galhner, a widow.? of Detroit, told an auctioneer one day last week that she had no flour or wood and must go to the poor-house He told her she must : get a husband, and broposed to sell her to the highest bidder.

Should yon have all of your tobacco joisted and hung regular on sticks in the barn, I think, if this wet spell continues it would be well to try to dry it out a ; -: little. Say get the beat from 80 to -100 degrees I would not advise a ( greater ; heat and that; for only an hOur or two : if yon have it in bulk i you had best cover it up to keep out the dampness, and -when the i weather is clear ancTdry ing, uncov- er and let the damp, foul air, blow ' oft, which,! think, would help a lit. . tie to keep the tobacco in nice, sweet condition.

Rockingham tobacco v has been for many . years the chief ( staple, andnexclusively relied ppon , to bring money into those sections, it is really surprising that we, the - f armers of Southern Guilford, have i been so slow to discover that it. is ;, equally available for us. Truly we nave nan a "xup i v au ; v lnnie sleep." and I regard it as a brooer ' occasion for mutual congratulation v that at last our eyes are open : j ; , "To see oorselres as others see us. . , ; I am not one of those who favor , innovation simply for the 1 sake of , novelty; who are disposed to! risk much labor and capital upon schemes of doubtful utility r boast i that the mountain I is , in travail iv when the probabilities are that she will bring forth nothing but a con- temptible mouse : but when ji i , clearly see the golden prize in the ; distance, I am willing, if needful, to forsake the path of my fathers, rush . through the tangled wilderness, Did defiance to every obstacle,and grasp : , tne sparitijng treasure i 4 j v . 1 believe, Mr. Editor, that the day . . is not far distant when this new v product tobacco, new 'atf least to most of us will telL not only upon , the prosperity of the surrounding; . country, but also upon that ot the city of Greensboro. .Let the farm ers of this community no longer be caught napping opoa this: subject but be up aud doing.
