Those who try to argue that there is
any necessary antagonism between cap
ital and labor are wide of the mark. A
recent writer well says that in this free
country every man who labors, may, un
less overtaken by sickness or some in
evi;able calamity, if he has thrift and
self-denial, accumulate a surplus, and
thus becomes a capitalist. It is gener
ally by self-denial that the great for
such attentive interest that ere long the
meeting of the Grange would be what
all good Patrons and Matrons most de
sire them to be. There would be no
lack of interest ; co-operation would be
there as a safeguard against a return to
dormancy or Iukowarmness. For the
want of some such substantial feast
many subordinate Granges have died ;
have folded their mantels about them
and laid dowu in the silent tumb of for
getfulness. To such might be dedicated
the appropriate epitaph, Died of noth
ing to do.' jFarmeis Friend.

We are pleased to uote the continued
progress of the Grange in Northern and
Eastern States. Large accessions are
being mkde to the old Granges and new
ones rgknized. GoJ speed the good
work.
The best Granges are those that meet
promptly and regularly, and whenever
we are unable to see. In the earlv davs
of its history when professional men as
well as farmers were admitted irgo ti-f
Grange, it required but little argument
from a lawyer, doctor, or merchant to
convince the farmer, that the Grange
Was an organization lor his special ben
efit, and that it wa his duty to join his
fellow farmers in their efforts to protect,
elevate and advance the cause of agri
culture. Put somehow the professional
