GBAgnoprEit cons. On toward the village drove good farmer Brown, With bis young roan and old dapplo gray: With a "steady there Boan" or a "Dapple got-up." lie ebeorlly guided the way. Be had willingly worked with his toll hardened hands, All that frosty but bi Ight-winter morn, Bis wugon was heaped with the rich golden ears, Hut alas! It was grasshopper corn. Now the ooat that covered his big burly form Was a many pa'ohod. ooarse, homespun blue, But the heart that tbrobbod under, and lit the gray eyes Was affectionate, honest and truo.

He had tolled through discouragements early and late, By the christians faith always upborne; The harvest had oome, bo was reaping at last; Butohl It was grasshopper oorn. Bis good wlfo had told the evening before That tho eoal oil and coffee were low, That the sugar was out, as were little Tom's toes, And they needed some stocking-yam too; That Mary and Susie should have a new dress, Noddy's trousers were looking forlorn, "I'll get all I can," ho replied with a sigh, "But we've nothing but grasshopper oo "And papa," the youngest child coaxlngly said As she cllmbod to her place on his knee, To-morrow Is Christmas, and oh! can't you get Somo candy for brother and me?"

Joseph Null lost one of his fine hogs on Saturday last with the heat. Wheat is not jle'ding as much per acre as was expected when harvested. Messrs. Brown, Doan Pinneo, have pmchosed a now threshing machine and are doing splondid work with it. It is a Nichols Slicpari Vibrator, which machine is too well known to need comment.

Mr. Frunkliu Riffle, who has been oonuectod with a road surveying party in ihd wostcru part of tho State, has rett'i ned home to pay his relatives and friends a short visit. The gmders who aro working out the road tax for tho Rail Road Company in the different districts along the Jine aro now at work in this district and are doing splendid work. If reports bo true, we are soon to have another paper published in Miami county. We certainly become a wise nation soon, if nowspaper knowledge is worth anything.

There were overtu adpeop'e in atteudance at the Grange picnio held in Harrison's grove, near Aubrey Sat urday of last week, A Missouri band discoursed some excellent music, and addresses by their Worthy Lecturers Stevens, Sims, Col. Waugh, and others, were enthusiastically received, notwithstanding the extreme heat which was decidedly unfavorable to active manifes tations. One of the speakers urged upon the Grange the necessity of keeping political questions of eveiy kind outside of the organization. Tbe next speaker remarked that while he sanctioned all his brother bad said, it was bis opinion that men and measures should be discussed, and that within tho grange, in ordor to enable members to vote intelligently, and concluded by advising all parties to steer oloar of politics. We know that comparisons are said to be odious, but that Jittlo rowdy song about the mother, who gave her daughter permission to swim, but advised her not to go near the wator, would occur to us just then.

One of the orators of the day made rather a funny and novel application of the old proverb, "curses, like chickens, come home to roost," which caused con siderable mirth. There was a largo attendance from Spring Hill and vicinity. Sam Young and his gontlomanly clerks, wif a view to combine pleasure and profit, were busily employed all day in serving out the most delicious ice cream that ever gladdened the heart of a granger. Mr, Young is getting to bo the champion ice creamist of the county. There were several stands on the grounds, but his was excelled by none.

On the whole it was a very delightful affair and was a day long to be remembered by the put rons of Johnson county.

We hero btate for tho information of thoso not posted, that casto; beaus aro poisonous, aud cannot bo eatei with impunity. Tho boys improve a sharo of their time iu throwing aud catching baU in the street, and improve much less at pull'ng weeds in the garden.

The businecs men on tho east side of tho direct have for the pnst week on account of tho extreme heat of the sun, seen tbo utter necessity of a fiontsbade as a protector. The people have been somewhat dissatisfied with the moderator's management of the weather during the past week. A new man for tho place is taikod of. Bi. Stcphson bid in the Parker prop erty last Saturday at Olathe, which consisted of a houso and lot on the west side of Main in Spring Hill.

Mr. 8. is not going to occupy tbe houso himself as has been rumored. Tho examination of C. C.

Pratt, be fore Justice M. Cracken, upon a charge of embezzlement, closed on Monday evening. The Justice required him to enter into bond of $300 for bis appearance at the next term of tho District Court. Last week tho boiler of the Standard Flouring Mills sprang a leak, and consequently stopped the whole machine. Men to repair tbe boiler were immediately sent for and next week the mill will be again ready for business.

It is a rare circumstance that this misfortune caused no further injury to life or property. Men under the employ of the Mo. R. Ft. Scott Gulf, R.

have been very busy at work during tho past week in digging out the out at the south end of tho switch for the purpose of making the side track longer, which will be much mflre convenient for all. but as to tho rumor of a new depot being erected at that end of tbe snitch, soon, we are as yet unable to substantiate, although it is a matter not altogether improbable. Spring nill is becomng famous for the number of fine and carnages owed by piivate parties, aud seen almost every evening on our streets. Dr, Danner, 0. F.

Hopkins, H. Young, and John McGowen, favored themselves with a top cairiage each at the sale at Olathe last Saturday. We musk cer tainly pedict at least that two weddings will be the final result of this rival af fair. Well, go in boys, nothing suits us better than to see our townsmen make a good appearance.

No better man for the situation oould be chosen, and hit tleotion seerni Wo have tho finest FURNITURE Ever brought to the Spring Hill LATEST STYLES. And wo respectfully hivito nil purchasers in this vicinity to come and "We'd hang up our socks as we did long ago, Although they are very much worn, But mamma has told us 'twould be of no use, When we've nothing but grasshopper corn. "I thought Santa Claus came around in a With pretty white doers for a team, Tiny bells jingling and a lull load of tops, As I saw him last night In my dream.

"I thought he would euroly stop here and leave toys, As we'd find whon we 'rose Christmas morn; I'm sorry as can be be ovor found out That ours was grasshopper cop." Into the village drove good farmer Brown, With a serious look In his eye, As he thought of tho comforts so ute lod ar. home, He expected with that load to buy; Out came tho cleric with a glossy new suit, And a look of Ineffable scorn, And turned as he said "we have orders to buy No more of this grasshopper corn." No better success did he nnywhore meet, And never a purchaser And; And he thought, as he cautiously picked out his way That the streets were with corn wagons lined. Down to the stook pen drove good farmor Brown, With a countenance weary and worn, And ton oents per bushel was all he oould get For that load of grasshopper oorn. Oht think of the little ones waiting at home, Of the mother so hopeless and sad, With the oomlng of Ohrlstman, that bright happy day, That should make us so thinkfully glad. Oh, think of the wants in the homes of the poor, As yourselves and your homos you adorn; And give If you please, a little bit more Than ten cents for grasshopper oorn.

The above "Poem" no doubt the most of our readers remember. Like all other newspaper publishers we re peat tbo publication of an article of which we deem in every way worthy of spaco. This poem was written by Charlotte Simmons of this vicinity, in tho year of the grasshoppers' raid on tho people of the western states. Therefore by request of some of our readers and to the orodit of the poem, we feel justified in ghing, or allowing to bo published a second time, as it ranks among the best. Tbe reading of this poom, howovor wil1.
