Churn lowly.
A little maid in the morning sun'
Stood merrily singing and churning -.
Oh, how I wish this butter was done,
Then off to the fields I'd be turning!" "
So Sjae hurried the dasher up and down
Till the farmer called, with a half -made frown
Churn slowly t
Don't ply the dasher so fast, my dear;
It's not so good for the butter,
And will make your arms ache, too, a far,
And put you all in a flutter -
For this is a rule, wherever -we turn,
Don't be in a haste Vqthenever you churn-
' -Churn slowly!
If you'd see your butter come nice and sweet,
Don't churn with ;a nervous jerking,
But ply the clasher slowly and neat -
You'll hardly know that you're working;
And when the butter has come you'll say;
'Yes, this is surely the very best way'-
, , Churn slowly!"
Now, little folks, do you think that you
A lesson can find in butter '2
Don't be in a haste, whatever you do,
Or get yourself in a flutter;
- And while-you-stand-at.life!s-greatchurn,----
Let the farmer's words to you return ,

IIISTORY OF FLNIANISIVI.
Where and by Whom ,the Brganization
was Inaugurated.
An ex -member of the Fenian Directory
hat, in " Blackwood's Magazine," what he
, evidently considera a very seasonable
article on Fenianism. The original body
known as Fenian was raised l;ly J'areteS
011ialionye and James Stephens. In Sep-
tember, 1848, the, former raised a little band
in Ireland, only to make a ludicrous failure
in his attempt to gain justice for his coun-
trymen. He and Stephens then met in
Paris and decided to make the United
States the base of their operations, and, if
possible, to engag,,e theNnien in it war with
Great Britain for the advancement of
their ends. Stephens went to work in
Ireland in 1857, but in less than
a twelvemonth his proposed nucleus
of the Republican Brotherhood had been
scattered, arrested and sentenced.
°Watery's work in this country was bet-
ter done, and by 1860 he had organized 130
circles with an average of 400 men each.
Among them were such metras Gen. Shields
and Col. Corcoran. In 1865 Stephens, then
in Dublin, assured the American party
that Ireland was ripe for revolt. This
period of boastfulness was also marked by
banquets, picnics and other reckless
expenditure of the vast sums so easily
raised. But the end of such gaiety came
quickly, when, in September of the same
year,the British Government struck its first
blow by seizing the Trish People newspaper,
ite staff and the staff of the Brotherhood.
Soon after the American Party, the, true
Fenian Brotherhood, deposed O'Mahony
from his office as chief. The body now
'split into tWo adtions,- one- clinging to
O'Mahony and Stephens, and the other,
called the senate party, electing William
Roberts their President. In June, 1866,
occurred the Fenian invasion of Canada,
when 1,100 of them under Gen.O'Neil met
..the_Queen's-Own Regiment, -of-Toronto:
This brought the crucial moment in the
history of the Order. Forbidden action on
American territory, there was nothing for
the " professional" portion of the con.
apiraoy but to fall in with Stephens' plan -
"A fight for Ireland on Irish soil.' But
immediately such bitter contentions arose
among themselves that there was not a
secret of tho-aociety that they did
not themselves parade for the information
of an amuaed and wondering world.
Stephens went se' far as to publicly fix the
day on which the "Sunburst," or Fenian
banner, was to be unfurled on the green
hills of Ireland. In January, 1867, they
began to latid at Queenstown, only to turn
on those of their own number whose activity
was too moderate. Later in the year
Americat Fenia,nism attempted to land on
Irish soil a small vessel with men and arms.
The whole expeditionary force of 45 anen
was captured, and drew of them tried •and
condemned to various tents of imprison-
ment. With the fall of Stephens, the &flare
of all attempts against Canada and the hope-
. less cruise of the Jackm el brig,terminated for
a time most of the visible manifestations of
Fenianistn. Since the commencement of_
the Irish land agitation American Fenian.
ism has vastly developed, having freed
itself from the jealousies and bickering'
which rent it to pieces after the failure of
1867. The organization may now be Said
to consist of but one solid body, in the
hands of the Chicago conventione--a dele-
gated assembly liable to be summoned to
meet together as occasion may arise or the
necessities of the party denaand. Last
year there were reported 913 eirclea, having
a nominal membership of nearly 250,060.

Rifles, Montreal, who has just returned

mouth, tells it reporter of the Witness the
following: "1 think they (the English
volunteers) are much the same in physique
as are some of our best corps; but they
are better equipped in every sense. Each
was provided with the new overcoat attach-
ment, water bottles, haversacksand it day's
rations -in fact with everythingfor a day's
work. There was only one field battery on
the ground, and among the finest sights of
the day was the opening of the affair by
the artists' Ceipel-conaposiid Of artista
who commenced the skirmish. The forces
were under ebremand" of Prince Edward Of
Saxe -Weimar. I think the finest regiment
of the whole lot was the London Scottish ;
their physique was magnificent. The Lon-
don Irish, 900 -strong, came next, I think.
They vs ere well acquainted with some of
the Canadians, having met them at Wim-
bledon. The force was uniformed in grey
and dark green -the infantry and rifles
were evenly divided. The London Irish
wore black, with green facings. Many
were dressed in grey, and I believe that
was the most serviceable uniform on the
field."
Accoannie to the New Remedies, a root is
found in the mountainous regions of Cali-
fornia, Oregon, -Utah and Montana which,
Rail that is stated of' it is true, bids fair to
become somewhat of a rival te quinine.
The miners, who callit"Oregon, Grape
Root " (lierberis Aquifoliuriz), use it in the
form of it decoction for " mountain fever."
It is reported by them to be effective in
this form of inalaria and to break up its
recurrences.

A report has been published by one or
two -newspapers with regard 40 the murder
of J. B. Sage that a caertain man niarcuid
Alfred -,Woode had ceufessed, previous to,
his own death from smallpox, that he was "
the murderer. A man named Barr was
repreaented as giving the deathbed Coates- -
Bion of Weeds in all its ,herrible detaile. It
,is a disgrace to journaliem that any news-
paper ehould Ei0 careleW.y deal with so
important a matter. The whole story as
told by this man. Barr is is Yankee notion.
Judging frorn the following there is no
truth whatever in the 'statements made.
The Brantford -Eaposi tor -sayli that the -
true story is as followa: Alfred Woods
was a brakeman on the. G. T. R., and he,
and his wife,- Mies Metier, took their meals
or boarded and lodged atEort Erie. Woods
and his wife lived unhappily together, and
the mother -in --law and Mrs. Woods' brother.
George assert that Woods was cruel to his,‘
_wife.---At-any-rate-it-iFe--asserted--that
Woods drew his money and -left, hastened
by the ! threat of his brother-in-law
that he would kill 'him • if he eirer_
returned. This separation , took place
after the murder of Sage, but we have
not the -exact date. Ttecezitly Mrs. Metier
went. to New York to get a certificate of
Woods' death, and,procutedat, but she ands
the family ridicule the idea that 'Woods
ever knew anything about the Sage ?murder,.
except what he read in the papers. To,
dispose of the story that Woods worked for _
Mr. Cockshutt, we applied there, and find •
that no such matt was in the •employ.
of any of these gentlemen at that time....__To
make the Matter absolutely certain that it
was impossible that Woods' story is true,
we telegraphed to Mr. Oolcleugh, the G.T.R.
agent at Fort Erie, ffncl he telegraphs us
that Alfred -Woods was on duty at the thrie
of the mur4or; and unlees he could be in
two Places at the same 'time there
is a difficulty 'that cannot be overcome. '
