WiIberforce's Speech on Potatoes.

The following amusing sketch of a
joke of a Parliamentary reporter, is
taken from the Great Metropolis, a
London work -
About thirty-five years ago, when
only one sentence of a speech was
given on an average, every five or six
minutes, and when ike reporters had
to sit for many hours at time, they
were often at loss what to do with
themselves. On one occasion, when
laboring under an attack of ennui, and
also under the effects, Jack Finnarty,
a we'll known reporter of that period,
yawned out,
"Mr. Speaker, will you favor US with
a songw
A roar of laughter Immediately fol-
lowed from all parts of the house. One

ODD-FELLowsHIP-Hs Teachings
The teachings of Odd-Fellowship tend
to the advancement and elevation of
man it aims to better his condition,
and incites him 10 the pursuit of nobler
actions. Let US follow its injunctions,
obey its laws, and practice it teachings.
If we are Odd-Fellows in truth, and IN
the true meaning of the word, let US
not be found wanting in our attach
ment and devotion to the cause we have
espoused. If we love and admire the
Institution of Fellowship, and de-
sire its prosperity, let US endeavor to
disseminate its principles, and the doc
trine it teaches. Let US faithfully per-
form our duties as men and Odd-Fel-
lows, and we need not fear the result.
Our cause must triumph; the advance
ment of our glorious Order will be Sc
cure; let US Danish strifes and dissen-
sions, and act in unison-let US remem-
Der that in union there is strength
united we stand, divided we fall.
Odd-FelIowship imposes upon IFS
members the task of looking after the
welfare of each other; it teaches US to
aid and encourage one another in the
performance of exalted actions; it en-
joins US to visit the sick, and admi-
mister to their wants-to relieve the
distressed, and not have them 10 the
cold hand of pnblic charity; it teaches
US to aid and protect the widow, and
educate the orphan. The disolate and
friendless may claim our protection
with a certainty of obtaining relief-it
is our duty to look not only to the living
our care is extended to the remains
of our departed brethren. Would that
every Odd-Fellow would cherish the
true principles of our beloved Order,
then would we be Odd-Fellows, not
only in name, but in the acceptatlon Of
the term. Then our friendship would
extend to the whole human race; we
would then loUe our enemies as our
friends we then would not only preach
but practice truth = our friendship
would be lasting, our loUe unbounded,
and truth must prevail. Then would
Heaven smile on the impressive en-
blems of our Order; then will the or
phan be promoted, and no tear shall
bedeck the widows cheek. The i'm
pure, the selfish, and the ignorant re-
viler of our time-honored Institution,
will sink into insigniicance, with a
painful sense, of humiliation and self
reproacb
