RETURNS.

There q large number of Divisions that have
not yet forwarded their Returns for the past
Quarter, to the Grand Scribe. All DELINQUENT
Divisions are earnestly requested to transmit the
same without delay. That officer has soon to
make his Returns TO the National Division. and
it is all important that as full and correct a re-
port be forwarded as possible. All are reques-
ted, therefore, to be prompt in attending to this
matter.
We had intended laying before our readers
to-day a synopsis Of the Returns already sent in,
but have concluded to wait until all the Returns
are in, 50 that we may be able to make a full
representation of the condition of the Order in
the State up to the 1st instant. We may re-
mark, however, that while many Divisions COM
plain of the want of accessions during the past
Quarter, all are of the opinion that interest in
the cause has not abated, but as soon as the state
OF the weather shall be such as to enable the Di-
visions to make active demonstrations, the sue
cess of our principles will be ever more trium-
plant for the future than they have been in the
past.

CONSCIOUS RECTITUDE.

Ha mar has correct principles he can never
be laughed out of them. The shrug of the shout
der, the biting remark, the contemptuous look
and the scoTning air, may cause a slight pain
in bis bosom, but the pain is produced by q
consciousness Of his own virtue. 1t is from those
who err. He sees the tendency of unbridled
passion, and this knowledge oftentimes causes 9
tear to fiji his eye. The principles he has EN-
braeed, to govern his whole life, he knows are
founded on truth. and though cast out from the
pale Of society, turned away from as the of:
securing of the earth, he feels a calmness, a Sc.
renity within, a consciousness of doing right, that
buoys him up under every trial. Such are the
principles which are based on Bible truth. Let
these principles be yours, young man, as you
commence your career in life. Be not seduced
byevil counsel, or unprineipled associates. With
~virtuous desires, with a deep anxiety to know
what is right and a jealous watch over the nat
ural heart, you cannot but overcome any IN,
hallowed propensity, and finally triumph owe,
every sinful desire.

ALCOHOLIC AND VOLCANIC FIRES,

The liquid fire of the d%istillery has rolled owe
the surface of this bright planet, wherever civil
~l'zation has opened the way, whelming in it
burning wave every thing that was lovely, ever,
thing that was of good report. Not more stead
lily or surely does the mighty lava torrent
belched forth from the bowels of an angry Etna
pursue its destroying path to the sea, consuming
every green thing and swallowing mp every
fDlr temple in its wasting progresA han has
she frightful alcoholic wave swept over eve
ry country, every continent, every island, IN
habited by civilized man.
This striking similitude may be pursued still
further-let us hope with equal truth.
The lava torrents encounter the ocean at last.
The fiery and the watery wave meet in fierce
and angry contention. The pillows, driven
back by their terrible antagonist, return again
and again to the charge. Vast volumes of vapo-
rous cloud roll up above the scene of the con-
fiict and all the heavens are black with the
smoke of the furious battle. But the tide of fire.
though like a raging beast Of prey, it resists the
first efforts to arrest its sullen and formidable pro-
gress, answers, by degrees, moro and more feebly
to the continually renewed assaults of its perse-
vering adversary. By degrees the wild commo-
ton dies away and silence reigns where the
elements were contending. The heavy cloud
floats along the breeze and disappears reveal
ing the sparkling water proudly reposing upon
the field Of victory.
And thus to the lava of alcoholic fire, now de-
vastating every fairest spot that the sun ever
smiled upon, has been opposed, in our own time,
a similar ocean-an ocean as exhaustless. as per-
severing, as u~nconquerable, as ever quenched a
river ofvolcanie FIRE. It's waves are overspread-
ing all our land. and gathering force and vol.
ume with each succeeding day. That ocean is our
glorious Order-those waves its countless Subor-
dinate Divisions. The contest is here likewise be-
tween the water and the fire; and, we firmly be-
lieve, that if there is one thing written in the
book of destiny more surely than any other. it
is that water shall here likewise be triumphant

Aoot, united their hands upon the sacred altar
and pledged their VOWS of love-that day had
they become one, that day had earthly witness
rs heard them speak the holy VOW, that day
had the Mighty One pencilcd it deep in the
tablets of the Eternal, that day had the prayer
OF the man of God been echoed by the hearts
of the friends, the parents-the mother. A
true hearts prayer for the couple-a prayer for
~happiness-a prayer for prosperity. That day
had two young beings commenced life in
earnest, with hearts leaping with the young
gush of delight,-they had leaped together in
to the etern arena to fill their stations. They
were happy no pail of gloom shaded the
bright landscape of JOY that seemed to be
spread before them IN one unruff1ed green.
they little thought that life's path was hedged
in ny bleeding thorns, they little thought that
pitfalls and snares were hidden beneath the
ffoweyy beds of pleasure, or that aught but
JOY could strew the path that they saw open
ing its way before them. They looked only up
on the bright star of promise that shot its dan.
cling beams away before them. They heard
not the muttering thunder-voiee of sad trouble
away ahead, they turned their back to the
clouds and the mountains of sorrow, the toss.
ing ocean of grief-all this was forgotten In
the merry song of the marriage. Alas how
little they know of life How little do the,
think in she midst of pleasure that they may
yet be tormented with the thousand stings 0
sorrow. How little-how hntle they know o
life! Pleasure in an unbroken stream has beer
theirs thus far-the bitter cup has been spared
and upon sorrow they look as an unfrequent
ing evil.
would that no sorrow cFoad might eve
dim their sun of happiness! Their fortune;
and fates it is, courteous reader, we are TO trace

with intense heat. and every blast death; the
sky vaulted with gloom, the earth a furnace.
But with me, the mountain. in tempest or
