"What has become Of all the like girls
now-a-daysa One sees plenty Of minataro
young ladies, with basque waists and houn-
ces, dress hats, and tiny watches. proulena-
ding the streets or att ndiag Juvenile parties;
but, alas LITTLE o!aL is a rarity--one
who win play baly-ho Sc, and live life
time IN few hours, making day aud night
succeed each other with astonishing raridily,
fifteen minutes recess at school affording
plenty Of time for weeks Of playhouse life
one to whom neat plain gingham dress and
sun-bonuet is the perfection Of school dress
--sun-bonnets that will not be injured ifthey
are wet in river or brook, and aprons strong
enough 70 bring home any quantity of nu 5
from the woods, in lieu Of baskets good
strong shoes ,h4 t will come Of with ease On
warm summer day, when the eogl brock
/ tempss the warm little feet to lave ihem-
selves IN its waite S, lnstead Of delicate gait
crs which shrink from such rude treatment.
sWell! it is to be hoped the race Of little
girls viii not become utterly extinct. There
mus. be soma wasting their sweetness upon
the desert air. for surely they bloom not in
our cities, and but rarely in cur villages.
4 Sat an age when little girls used TO be
dressing dolls, we now see them decked IN
all their fincry, parading - street, and
flirting with young students. Where on
earth are the mothers of these precious flirts2
Are they willing to allow such folly
aThen as to dress why. little miss must
now be dressed as richly as mamma and the
wonder is, how will she be able to outyic her
present splendor whea she comes OUT -
But in this go-ahcad age, some now insen-
tons will enable her TO accomplish her de-
sire.
. Gas there are no little girls, so there will
be no young ladies for when miss leaves
school she is engaged, soon marrles and takes
her place in the ranks Of American matrons.
How will she FIJI her place ? for how or whom
has she found time to prepare for HES du-
ties Wonder if it would not be good
plan to tura over new leaf, begin with
them in season, and sec if it is not possible
to have again darling little creatures, full OF
life aud glee, who can run and jump without
fear Of tearing founces, and finally have q
set Of healthy young ladies, upon whom the
sun has been allowed TO shine, and active
ozereise iu the opsa a;s bcsto@ea 40 aband~
ant supply Of life and energy.
"Uuite healthy body to the highly cul-
tiyated minds of our american wives ana
mothers, and they would be the admiration
Of the world. instead Of being Iited for their
fraeility. - Home journal.

ORIGIN OF ODD FELLOWS.

The origin Of the Order Of Odd Fellows is
Of an ancient date II was established BY
tho Roman soldiers in caup after the order
Of Israelitcs, during the reign Of Nero, the
Roman Emperor, who commenced bis reign
4. d So, at which time they were called
Fellow Citizens The name o. Odd Fellows
was given to this order Of men a. D. 70,
ty Titus Cesar, Emperor Of Rome, from Their
singularity Of notions, and from their know
ing each other BY night as well az BY day
and for their fidelity to him and their coun-
try. He not Gully gave them the name Of
Odd Fellows, but at the same time, as
pledge CT friendship, presented them with
Disponsation, engraved on the Arch of Titps
Caesar, tho Ark of the Covenant, the Golden
Candlestick, The Golden Table, weighing
one great talent, the Sun for N. c., the
Noon and Stars for Y. g.. 4 Lamp for Sec
rotary, the Lion for Guardian, the Dove for
I Warden, aud tho Emblems Of Morality for
the G NJ.
1t is very probable that the FIRST Odd Fel-
lows made their appearance in North Wales
abou; that time, as an invasion was made BY
one Of Titus Caesars Generals tAgricola) on
North Wales, and shortly afterwards on the
Island Of Mono now called Anglesea.
The first account we have Of the order
spreading into other countries is in She Gfth
century, whenit was established in the Span
ish Dominions under the Roman Dispensaiion
and in the siSlh century by King Henry in
/ Portugal, and ia the twelfth century il was
established in France, and afterwards II
England BY John D'Eeyille, attended BY five
knights from France, who formed a Loyal
Grand Lodge Of Honor in Loudcn, which
, Order remained until the reign of6ieorgc III,
when part Of thesn began TO form them
selves into an Union, aud portion Of them
remain until this day on tins account the
4 Lodges which remain, and are very numcr-
Gus ihrouehout tho world, call themselves
Loyal Ancient Independent 0dl Fellows,
being portion Of the original body.
