ODD FELLow's AsyLUM.-Some time
since, the Grand Lodge |. o. 0. f.,
for Southern New York, had under con-
sideration the eXpediency Of an Asylum
for INDECENT members of the Order.
The result Of their deliberations was an
appeal to the various Lodges, so as to OBJ
tain an expression OF sentiment from
the several Lodges upon the subject. A
meeting of delegates from 81 Lodges
has accordingly been held, and the re-
suit, we are told, is highly favorable to
the object in view. The Asylum is not
only for members Of the Order, but for
their widows and children also. Fur
Their action will be held on the subject
carly in May.

VISIT TO Mr.. CLay.-In the editorial
correspondence ofthe New Yorl; express
on Monday, is a long and beautifully
written letter descriptive OF a VISIT to the
chamber Of the dying Statesman and Pat
riot, Henry Clay. The letter concludes
as follows:
| met Mr.. Clay in his room with only
two New York friends and with melan-
choly pleasure. Ii was sud sigh. TO be-
hold the rayagcs OF time and Of disease
upon his tail and graceful person. II was
melancholy to realize that bis learning,
wisdom, experience, and all would soon
be buried with him in the cold earth.
1t was painful to feel that his melody Of
voice would soon be changed to The
whispers Of death and finally die away
IN the plaiutive breezns Of his departing
spilit. But it was privilege to hear
what must be among the last words Of
such man-to see his uniaiing hope as
the cmbrrs OF life spark hv spark are
burning oGt. It is not FOR Nlr. Clay, but
for his country, that regretted for a mo-
ment in his presence that he had not
reached the meridian Of place, as we'll
as glory in his countrvs history. But
reflection teaches me, that i, is not al
ways Compatible with genipg, greatness,
huth, honeHy "nd;oyrice to secure public
ipacc. Genius aud greatness often begrt

even though spoken in love gives Of
fence, honesty is mi&julscd, or out OF
fashion, and public srvcc3 are often for
cotton as soon as they are performed.
