our trip to Bethany, where you will be compelled
to acknowledge, Imay always find friends, to lub

of hfe-in his social and moral dominion over the
dispositions and habits of his family and depen-
fdentsin discharge of the duties of religion, hos
ptalty and benevolence-in the care and control
Of his locks, his herds, and his vast estates; but
we must also go prepared to encounter in him, the
sage, the scholar and the man of the world, We
must brush up our acquaintance with books, man
ners, and with men, and be ready TO soar into met
aphysics to discuss the practical and tuscful--to
speculate on arts and sciences--naY, erento trifle

and sober philosophy; rather, i imagine, the en-

and yet we shall find him al home on his farm, IA

with industry, in its management. We will look,
from his balcony, on the lovely valleys, or more
properly, basin beneath, and around us; of consid

from which We appear to be excluded. IN short

give establishment and interest TO rural lc,l that
we have found the happy valley OF Rasseas, with
this advantage in our power, that, instead OF the
wnyvard and capricous prince, and the msipid

Antiquity OF THE Opp- FELLows.-The origin
of the order of Odd-Felows is of an ancient date.

after the order of the sraeltes during the reign OF
Nero, the Roman Emperor, who commenced his
reign A. d. 90, at which time they Were called Eel
| low Citizens. The name of Odd-Fellows was giy-
en- to this order Of men (a. D. 79) by Titus Caesar,

from their knowing each other by night as well as
by day, and for their fidelity TO him and then coun
