BEAUTY.-There is something in beau.
ty, whether it dwells in the human face,
in the penciled leaves Of flowers, the
sparkling surface Of a fountain, or thai
aspect which genius breathes over ita
statue, that makes US mourn its ruin.-
I should not envy that man his feelings,
who could see leaf wlther, or a flower
fall without some sentiment of regret
This tender interes. in the beauty and
frailty Of things around US, is only a
slight tribute Of becoming grief and af
fection, for nature, in our adversities,
never deserts US. She even comes more
nearly to us in our sorrows, and leading
US away from the paths Of disappointment
and pain, into her soothing recesses,
allays the anguish ofour bleeding hearts,
binds up the wounds that have been in.
flicted; whispers the meek pledges of q
better hope, and in harmony with the
spirit of still hvlier birth, points to that
home where decay and death can never
come.

union, the relics Of which remain to this
day, having increased to vast numbers
thIough hout the world and are known as
the Loyal Ancient Odd Fellows,
The present Order of Odd Fellows,
was Instituted in Manchester, England
about the year 1910. The members had
belonged to the Ancient Order, but be.
coming dissatisfied, they seeded, and
formed themselves ints body under the
title Of independent Odd Fellows" to
distinguish themselves from the other
fraternity, and which title is still preserv-
ed by them. Soon after their formation
in Manchester the Order began to spread,
and in the course Of q very brief period,
reached this country. Here, we believe
the first organization took place at Phil
adelphia, or Baltimore, and now almost
every town of any size in the Union has
to acknowledge the existence Of a Society
Of Odd Fellows. ...
The primary object which led to the
formation Of the first institution has ever
been preserved, and now marks the
character Of the order. 1t consists in
acts Of bsnevolence mutually exercised
towards each other when either party il
in distress. in sickness. suffering, or i!
cases Of death. The only secrets which
the society enjoins is that Of mutual re-
cognizance under any circumstances ono
in any part of the World and which il
highly proper and right that they shoult
preserve. y.
Thus we have given. 30 far as we ar
able, a general outline Of the history
character and purposes Of the society Q
= Odd Fellows, and we trust they viii
ever cherish the sacred object whicI
:. unites them together in a band Of Love
q Friendship and Charity, and like thsi
Roman Fathers, prove an honor to them
selves, their cause and their country.

HOME AFFEcrIoNs-By DR.. Hawkss.
The heart has memories that never
die. The rough rubb ofthe world can.
not obliterate them. They are memories
of home, early hsme. There is magic in
the very ground. There is the old tree
under which the light-hear:ed boy swung
many sumner day yonder the river in
which he learned TO swim, there the
house in which he knew parents love,
and found parents protedtion-and
there is the room in which he romped
with brother and sister, long since, alas!
laid in the yard in which he must soon be
gathered, over-shadowed by yon old
church, whittier joyous troop like him
self he has often followed his parents to
worship with, and hear the good old man
who gave him to God in baptism. Why
even the very schoolhouse associated in
youthful days with thoughts Of ferule, and
tasks, now comes back to bring pleasant
rememberances Of many an occasion that
called forth some generous exhibition Of
the noblest traits Of human nature.
There he learned TO feel some Of his
best emotions. There perchance, he
met the first being who by her love and
tenderness in after life has made home
for himself, happier even than that which
bis childhood knew. There are certain
feelings of humanity. and those too
among the best that can find an appro.
pirate place for their exercise only by
ones own freside. There is sacredness
in the privacy of that spot which it were
q species Of desecration to violate. He
who seeks wantonly to invade it, is neith-
er more nor less than villain: and hence
there exists no sursr test Of the debase-
ment of morals in community, than the
disposition to tolerate in any mode the
man who disregards the sanctities Of
private life. In the turmoil fthe world,
let there be at least one spot where the
poor man may find affection that is dis>
interested, where he may indulge con.
fidence which is not likely tn be abused.

From lhsse facts, and many others bear
ing upon The same subject, which am
no. able 10 incorporate IN this letter,
have arrived at the following conclusions:
lst. Iha. the British whea. market has
not required more than fourteen millions
Of bushels of whea, from abroad, upon an
average Of any long series Of years.
ID. That reduction Of The duties will
not materially diminish The amour, pro-
duced by their own agriculture.
81. That the quantity consumed will
not be largely Increased.
Ain. Tina, the market both as TO guam
lily and price. mus, be an unsteady, and
therefore poor one.
sub. That q reduction OF the duty des-
,roys the monopoly which we have njoy-
ed, in cense quenee Of The trade through
Canada.
9Th. Iha, the reduction of duties gives
great advantage 10 the wheat growing
countries on the Mediterranean and in The
north Of Europe, beyond what they have
previously enjoyed in competition with
US.
7sh. That as, notwithstanding the ad
vantages in our favor, these countries
have supplied Grea, Britain with the larg-
er portion Of the wheat imported, so they
will furnish still larger proportion when
the duties are reduced.
Slh. That the market created by our
own domestic consumption is steadier,
broader, and in every sense more profita-
BILE. than any other.
repeat, i'll order not 10 be misunder-
stood, tina, the statements of this letter
are moi intended TO apply to this par.ieu-
lar year, because the scarcity all over Eu.
rope may constitute an exception tC the
general rule. Nor do design these views
70 apply TO any other Of our productions
than wheat. II may possibly be true that
the proposed change in the rate of duties
in England may increase the demand for
Indian corn, pork and beef. | have not
been able to examine the facts as 10 these
articles, and therefore express opinion.
tina. remark | shall close this letter: The
English ministry have been driven by
necessity to the course which they pro
pose; it is measure which is prompted
by all exclusive regard for their own in
leres's, and no, by any consideration for
ours.
|. is not the result Of our policy, either
past or proposed, and whoever shall hold
up their practice as a guide for US to FOL
low, will prove tina. he forge,s The differ.
ence in the age, the circumstances, the
resources of the two countries; in short,
TIA. he 10 regardless Of all the reasons
which should induce US wisely 10 avail
ourselves of the change, without either
feeling the necessity or following the ex-
ample.

Average prices Of Wheat Acreage p1lc
per b1lsiei in Russia Of Wheat p,


There is no doubt that very conslde-
rabe expense is necessary 10 get this
gtain to market; but, with every al
owance for that expenditure, ii will be
seen that the competition IN price will
proven, US from becoming large exporters
Of whea. TO England. The average price
of whea. a, Dantzie, for series of years,
may be stated at eighty eight cents for the
finest " heat, and that free on board the
vessel; while at the came time OF year the
average al New York was certainly over
dollar. The average price al Archangel,
Riga and ST. Petersburg, may be stated
TO be l0wer-say seventy seven cents; but
it is possible the price of transportation
may be semewha, higher. Amsterdam,
Rotterdam, Hamburg, are also large de.
pots for wheat. | entertain little doubt
that the reduction or repeal of the English
duties will give spur to the industry OF
the grain growers of the north Of Europe,
and that both in quantity and price they
will command the English market.
| desire 10 say here, however, that
The remarks | have made upon this
subjec, do not refer TO the present season.
which, on account of the failure Of the
crops and shortness OF The harvest. may
constitute an exception: but while admit
this. | wish also TO say, that this is itself
an evidence Of the uncertainty of the Eng
slsh market. In lS43 for instance, the
importation was % 900 900 Of bushels;
in 1896. it was only $40 600 bushels.
II depends upon The season and the har.
vest; and while have stated the average
importation at fourteen millions Of bush
els, desire i, TO be understood that this
il large estimate, and that it embraces
series Of years. The uncertainty of the
English market mus. render ii poor one,
if the other causes to which | have allud
ed had no existence. Ii has been shown
thai our export in 1914, was abon, 1900
600 bushels TO all countries. and only
bos, 1900 900 to Great Britain. l, i.
proper to sugges. here, tina, the New Eng
land States alone consume al least 1000.
900 Of bushels more than they produce =
an amount equal to our whole export
| Nor should it be forgotten, that while tn
English prices are fluctuating in the ex
IRENE, the home prices are comparativel,
regular. In 1917 and 1915, more thai
81 100000 Of bushels of wheat were i'm
ported into England. In 1920 they ha
a surplus of %, 900, 600 Of bushels abov
the home demand.
10 December, 1885. the price Of whea
was ninety seven cents bushel, and
January, 1899, il was two dollars an
twensy-six cents; being difference OF
bou, one hundred and twentynine pc
cent
Burlington hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1845-185?, 1846-03-26

In the next place, although we have
actually enjoyed decided and great adj
vantage in furnishing wheat aud -four 10
England over all other nations, we have
no. been able TO compete with the north
of Europe.
II will be observed that. in 1874, while
we have exported abou. 100000 bushels
of whea! directly to England, we have
exported to the British American Colonies
twenty one hundred thousand. The rea-
son of this may be worth attention. BY
Sir Robert Peers sliding scale, it will be
seen that the duty on whea, or flour sent
from The United States to England would
be nearly three dollars barrel. at the
price at this time: while a, lhe same pr.
ces, barrel of -four from Canada would
only pay seventy Eve cents.
The effect Of this has been 10 cause us
to send our grain and -four to England by
the way of Canada. al which place it was
in 1914, allowed 10 enter at nominal
duty. We had then, in 1874. "A monopo-
" Of the English market, or at least we
had ihes opportunity of supplying the
amount required al mucn Io"er Fale Oh
duty than any ohef nation. Now. in
the first place, of the fourteen millions Of
bushels imported into England. we fur.
nished but little over three millions, and
the rest, or about eleven millions, was
supplied by The Baltic and the Mediter-
ranean. Let me give one or two facts;
In 1898. England received from Prussia
1906 bushels Of wheat, in 1889,
5,s37.4l6 bushels; in 1910. 6,l58.356
bushels. She received from Germany ia
1898, 2,455. 675 bushels; in 1899 and in
1910, still more than in 1898. have no
means of knowing the exact amount in
1874; bu, we may know the extern. of the
supply from those and other countries in
the north of Europe, by remembering that
our own expert was emily about three
millions of bushels ---eilher TO Canada or
England. If. then, with all the advantage
arising from the course Of trade through
Canada, and the low colonial duty upon
wheat sent from thence to England, we
have only sent three millions out of the
fourteen millions which Great Britain
imports what will be the state Of the trade
Burlington hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1845-185?, 1846-03-26

In addition TO the above, the same places
can export 7.29S.O72 bushels of rye,
1920, 532 bushels Of barley, and $780,
7l6 bushels of oats, annually, over and
above what 10 requisite for their own con-
sumption.
There can be ne doubt entertained thai,
these ports, nearer to England than our
own. can afford an abundant supply of
wheat and -four TO meet her average
consumption; and, as have shown, they
have actually supplied mos. Of the de-
mand ever since her production has moi,
been sufficien. for the population.
In the third place, the average price Of
whea, in the countries 10 which | have
referred is lower than in our own; it is a
fac, which arises from the cheapness Of
labor. quote passage from Lord
A.hbur,on's speech, delivered in Parlia
ment, January. 1916, as follows:
"Bu, the supply mus. not be expected
from America; and we could no. have a
better proof Of this than the fact, that, al.
this moment American " heat could come
here. through Canada, at duty of feur
shiHings; and vet. if the returns were
examined, it wouid be found that nine
tenths oft Foreign ,cheat IN England
wus from the Baltic. though the duty
on ,0ieat from lis shores was FIFTEEN
sHILLINes quarter This was entirely
owing 10 the low price Of labor in the
north Of Europe
also present comparison Of the
prices in the north of Eurape and in
England, By which the cheapness of the
article a, the ports TO which have relerr
ed will be clearly understood.

A late lecturer on the life of Oliver
Cromwell declares in spite Of the stern
ness Of character. tina, he had an inherent
love Of fun, which he was prone mischiev-
ously to indulge at the expense of those a.
round him. This was a peculiarly of
his disposition. and one which exhibited
itself ever according to the impulse Of Tho
mement. An anecdoe to the point is relat.
ed, which runs to The effeci,that Cromwell
had very beautiful daughter, a. tho time
he became Protector, TO whom one of his
attendants took great liking. One day
he went into his caughIer's apartments,
and was not a little surprised to see his
page very humbly Frustrated upon the
knee, before his daughter, and extending
his hand toward her inshe most supplical-
ing manner possible.
"What means ihisv sternly exclaimed
Cromwell.
''May il please your worship replied
The sffrighled page. 81 am in love with
yonder waiting maid,"s pointing to her as
he spoke-"snd have been beseeching
your daughter to exert her influence in my
behalf"
"Are you wiling" said Cromwell to
the waiting maid,"lo have hi. fellow Tor
your husband'"
Yes replied she.
"Well them says Cromwell, "we'll
have prizes, called in forthwith, and you
twain shall be one flesh" which was no,
much sooner said than done.
