THE NATIONAL DIVISION.

The Editors of the N. Y. Organ say-We
have several times heard gentlemen, who hap
pened to be in Toronto at the late meeting of
the National Division, remark upon the appear
ance of that body as eminently adapted to
make a strong impression in favor of their in
telligence, benevolence and earnestness in the |
cause of humanity. A friend who has seen
most of our State Legislatures and recent
Congresses, says he never saw a body of men
whose appearance was so much in their favor
in all these respects, and subsequent free inter-
course with the members only deepened these
impressions. We can readily believe our friend
saw things as they were, for why should not
a great and magnanimous enterprise stamp
some of its features upon the countenanees and
bearing Of those associated for its advance
ment? At the Toronto convocation, especial
ly, there were circumstances which might well
make their mark, and cause the faces of those
assembled to shine and their hearts to glow
They were there ffommany States, Territories
and Provinces. They were the representatives
of a body of men three hundred thousand
strong, whose principles embodied in the words
Humanity, Fraternity, ennobled and exalted
them. There were men who had never seen
each other before, and perhaps will never meet
again on earth, yet
Their hopes, their aims, their joys were one,
Their wishes and their fears.
They were brothers and they felt it, and they
blessed the tie that bound them, and exulted
with a living, bounding joy in being permitted
to counsel and work together for the deliver
ance of the nations from the curse of black In.
temperance.
And now that the representatives of the Or
der have met, counseIled together in relation
to its welfare and separated, to rejoin their re
, spective constituencies, let us hope that some
portion of the glow and fervor which were en-
kindled at Toronto may penetrate the whole
fraternity and impart vigor to future move
ments of our redeeming enterprise.
!, To the moral, quickening influence of GU
National Division Sessions, more than to an,
! particular legislation, do we look with hope
! fulness of spirit. We expect our delegates t
return to us not bearing scrolls of dumb, dea'
edicts, but overiowing with love to the caus
we are pledged to promote. We send them t
this body not so much in expectation that the
3 will legislate shrewdly and well, as that Will
l. communing with the bright particular stars {
e the Order they will catch some portion of the
II fervor and brilliance, and come back s~catterin
n the rays and diffusing the warmth through a
n the subordinate departments Of our fraternity
This is what we need. This we hope to rea
ize. We hear Of the spirit of devotion at To
onto as something loftier and more 'earne
than is often seen. We have rejoiced in Il
assurance. And now let that lofty, burnir
&c zeal flow forth, electrifying in its progress IL
fainting and the lukewarm, and arousing Il
whole temperance camp to high and hallow,
endeavor, and causing the history of the We
to resound with well fought battles and glor
i Gus triumphs.

The R. S. of Mecklenburg Division, writes
"You will see by our report, that we are on the
increase here, and the grog shops viii have to
come down. Our motto is enward-onward
still, and will not stop until we will have every
family in Mecklenburg county, converted into a
temperance family. A great change has come
over this place since the LIST of April. Mecklen-
burg county will be the banner county of this
State. Mark that!"

RIGHT KIND OF A WIFE The Panama
Herald relates the following case o%felopement:
"a lady at San Francisco, on the morning
Of the sailing of the Tennessee, was quietly
seated reading over the passengers who had
engaged passage for Panama, when to her
astonished sightthere appeared the name of
her husband in The list! Could she believe

bands trunks were packed, and that he had
informed her he was obliged to go to Sacra-
amento on business, which would detain him
q few days. Startled and convinced by the
truth thus manifested to her, she concluded to
open his trunks where she found eight thou
sand dollars in hard cash. This she divided,
taking three thousand dollars and leaving
five thousand dollars-the : lions share
which was exceedingly generous on her part
In due time the affectionate husband bade
her goodbye telling her he would be back il
three or four days, and litts suspecting tina

TIE CROPS.

From all quarters we hear most fattering re-
ports of the Wheat crops. Many of the farmers
in this section are done cutting, and they state
they have not had such crops, for abundance
and quality of the wheat, for many years. IN
the counties above this, the crops of wheat are
said to be bette. by far, than for many years
past. So far as we have observed or been able
to learn, the corn crops bid fair at present for a
god harvest

A friend tells us that some dozen or fifteen
years ago, when he had the melancholy
duty to stand behind the counterin a coun
ty store, dealing out the "best well selected
assortment West of Albany" he was once
brought very suddenly to a state o~funuttera-
BILE wonderment. A youthful and pretty wo-
man robed in "lead black" approached him
and wished to look at his "Gleam of Com
fort"
"At what, madam 2" said he, puzzled and
confused at what appeared to him a most
singular request.
SGleam of Comfort, young man havn't
you any, or don't you know what it is 7" re-
piled the lady.
"Yes ma'am, most likely we have it
what is it lke-is it dry goods or groceries,
ma'amY'
"Dry goods or groceries " echoed the la
DIV, looking at our troubled friend in a way
that made him decidedly uncomfortable
E'sir it IS mourning calico, of the second
grade, for a widow Of three weeks. 1t is wei
Known, sir, with US in the city. I'm aston
shed at your ignorance"
The frightened young man could only
stammer out that they hadn't any Of tina
kind Of calico.
