TIME-OldI call you me? Ayl when the
Almighty spoke creation into birth, | was
there Then was born mid the bloom and
verdure, of Paradise. gazed upon the young
world, radiant with celestial smiles. | rose
upon the pinions of the first morn, and caught
the sweet dew drops as they fell and sparkled
on the bowers of the garden. Ere the foot
of man was heard sounding in this wilderness,
! gazed upon its thousand rivers, flashing in
light, and rejecting the broad sun, like thou
sand jewels upon their bosoms. The catar-
acts sent up their anthems in these solitudes.
and more was here to listen to the new born
melody but |! The fawns bounded over the
new born hills and drank at the limpid streams,
ages before an arm was raised to injure or
make them afraid. For thousands of years
the morning star rose in beauty upon these
unpeopled shores, and its twin sister OF the
eve famed in the forehead, of the sky, with
no eye to admire their rays but mine. Ay?
call me old? Babylon and Assyria, Palmyra
and Thebes, rose, fourished and fell, and be-
held them in their glory and their decline
Scarce melancholy ruin marks the place OF
their existence, but when their first stones
were laid in the earth was there? Mid all
the glory, splendor and wickedness, | was in
their busy streets and crumbling their magnif-
icent piles and their gorgeous palaces to the
earth. Ny book will show a long and fearful
account against them. | control the fate of
empires, give their period of glory and splen-
dor: but in their birth conceal in them the
seeds of decay, they must go down, be hum
bed in the dust, their proud heads be bowed
down before the rising gories, of young ma
tons to whose prosperity there will also come
a date and day of decline. | poise my wing
over the earth, and watch the course and do
ings of its inhabitants call upon the vo-
lets upon the hills, and crumbleth the grey
ruins TO the ground. | am the agent of a
higher power to give life and take it away
| spread siken tresses upon the bow of the
young, and plant grey hairs on the head of the
aged man. Dimples and smiles, at my bid
ding, Turk around the lips of the innocent child,
and furrow the brow of the aged with wrin-
kles. Old call We mel aye, but when will my
days be numbered! When will time and eter-
nifty begin! When will the earth and its wa.
universe be rolled up, and the new
world commence its revolutionsl Not till He,
who first bid me begin my flight SO orders it.
When His purposes, who called me into be-
ing, are accomplished; then, and not till then,
and no one can proclaim the hour, shall go
to the place of all the living.

ODD FELLows.-The Origin of the Order
of Odd Fellows, is of great antiquity. 1t was
first established by the Roman soldiers in the
camp, during the reign of Nero, in the year
SIS. At that time they were called Fellow
Citizens. The name was given by Titus Ce-
sar, in the year 70, from the sngularity OF
their notions, and from their knowing each
other by night or by day: and for their fidelity
to him and their country, he not only gave
them the name of Odd Fellows, but at the
same time, as pledge of friendship, presen-
ted them with dispensation, engraved on
a plate of gold. bearing different emblems, as
the sun, moon, stars, the lamb, the lion, the
dove, and the emblems of mortality The
first account o the Order being spread in other
counties is in the fifth century, when it was
established in the spanish dominions, and the
sixth century by King Henry in Portugal
and in the twelfth century it was established
in France, and afterwards by De Neville in
England, attended by five knights from France
who formed Loyal Grand Lodge of Honor
in London, which order remained until the
eighteenth centurysin the reign of George the
Third, when part of them began to form
themselves inlo union, and portion of them
remains up to this day. The Lodges which
now remain are very numerous throughout
the world, and call themselves the Loyal An
Gent ODD Fellows, being portion of the or
iginal body.

case of much Importance to us news
paper gentry was decided by Judge Johnson
on wednesday last, and in our humble opinion
it was just and correct decision-one who
merits for his Honor the encomium of the
press. The case was tbis:-The Sheriff oil
this Parish levied upon the printing press,
types, &c. g., of the Louisiana Democrat,
and was proceeding to sell the same under
an execution The defendant in execution
tenJolned the same, as being priviledged from
levy under article GA of the Code Of prac-
tlce, which exempts tools and instruments
necessary for the exercise of the trade or pro-
iesslon by which the debtor gains his living.
The honorable Judge sustained the injunction,
1t being in proof before him that the defendant
was practical printer, carrying on his bus
mess at the time of the levy, and on the ground
that the vocation of printer is a manual
trade, and the press. types, &C., are indispen-
sable to the exercise of his trade.

To KEEP OUT SHIPPERS FROM BAcoN.-A

this is about the time when our friends are be-
ginning to smoke their meat, it may do them
some good to inform them that small piece
of birthstone, about the size of chinquepin
dwarf chesnuD thrown into the fire once a
day, will effectually prevent shippers and bugs
from getting into bacon. This information
we have from friend whom we highly es-
TEEN, who assured us that he so fully tried the
efficiency of this plan, that he wished US to
make it generally known. He added that no
unpleasant smell or taste is impaired to the ba-
con. We deem this information of great i'm
portance to those who have bacon TO cure, and
to those who have to buy it, EXCHANGE Pa.

The unexpected demise of Gen. Harrison
has drawn from all parties and from all class
es, in the United States, fervent tributes of
respect TO his memory. All the American
Journals, of whatever shade of party politics,
admit the honor, the devoted patriotism and
the sterling integrity which marked the char
acter. That much of public virtue has depar.
ted with Gen. Harrison cannot be denied;
that mucn is left behind, for honor and the
safety of the American Union, we firmly be-
lieve. The political combat which resulted in
the election of General Harrison, was as siren.
uously fought as was the memorable conflict
| between Adams and Jefferson. Three millions
ofmen recorded their suffrages, yet there was
neither riot nor sacrifice of human life; and
when the result was made known, the unsuc-
cessful party in the contest-a party hardly
less numeous and powerful than their antago-
nits--fel back TRANQUILITY upon their various
avocatlOns in life and returned peaceable to
the performance of their duties as citizens and
as subjects. That struggle of this descrip-
ton should be Sc conducted, and so terminated
is alike honorable to American character and
American institutions. II augurs favorable
Tor the permanence of their present form OF
government.
