/ HNHE undersigned proposes to publish immedi-
| Il diately, in the city Of Washington, a new
literary and miscellaneous periodical under the above
title, to be devoted to the sublime and hallowed
principles of the Independent Order of Odd Eel
lows. The want of an organ at this great central
pont-ths heart of mighty empire-has long
been felt by the numerous body TO whose highest
interests the publication will be faithfully devoted.
The blessed principles of our order-which are the
cardinal virtues of the Christian Religion-will be
advocated with unfatering fidelity and zeal. The
social and friendly relations which exist demand at
our hands corresponding duties and obligations
they constantly call upon us to exercise Benevo.
ence ,Charity-Temperance and Fidelity
FRIESDsBIP, LOVE, and TRUTH. These distin-
gushing virtues and excellencies, il will be the pri-
mary object of the proposed publication to incucate
upon the minds and hearts Of its readers. In its
pages the Order will ever find their great objects
and interests faithfully advocated and zealously
supported While its conductor will most carefully
abstain from all those subjects which produce angry
and violent dsputaons he will ever be found ready
10 defend the institution to which it is his pleasure
and privilege to belong from all the unjust attacks
Of its opposers this will ever be done in the spirit
of kindness and charity.
nc Ouu 4 elbows magazine Will contain great
variety Of interesting and useful matter such as
moral tales, poetry, essays, &C. and it will endcav-
or TO disseminate the true principles of Odd Eel
lowship with energy and ZEAL No pains or ex-
pense will be spared to make it worthy of the pat
ronage, not only Of the members of the .order, but
Of the reading public generally. Contributions
have already been secured from many of the ablest
pens in the country, and numerous others have
given us leave to hope that our pages will be en-
belshed and adorned with the productions of their
gifted minds. The conductor will endeavor to make
II all its most sanguine friends could possibly desire.
The Ladies' will ever, we trust, find it welcome
companion in the parlor or boudoir. No article
will ever find place in its pages which can tend,
in the remotest degree, to raise blush upon the
cheek Of the most fastidious.
