A SECRET OF ODD-FELLOwsHIP DISCOVERED
We get from the Boston Gazette very good story
of a wife, whose husband was a very worthy prac-
teal member of the order of Odd Fellows. It
seems that one evening bundle came to the house,
marked for him, and labelled private" Of
course this was sufficient for female curiosity, and
and therefore she INDUCED in an inspection. Hor-
ror of horrors! Blankets, babys linen, &C., CREST
ed her astonished eyesight and dreams Of =" two
families foated through her brain. The husband
soon came in, and after tea when his wife discover
ed in his eye the treachery of his condact, she
supposed, he took the bundle and went out-but
not alone. for the jealous wife was on his track.
The faithless husband little imagined that she who
supposed herself SO foully wronged was lowering
after him. He stopped at the house Of friend,
who also joined him, carrying a similar bundle.
The wife became doubly excited for the prospect
Of having companion in misery did not impress
her with the idea of division Of her grief, but
only an addition to it. She followed closely and
soon they halted before small tenement which
they entered. Here she paused to hold council
of war. What tactics to follow she was in doubt,
but determined at length to storm the citadel; she
Knocked and hastily brushed by little child, and
in second burst upon the astonished husband, the
embodiment of injured innocence. Her feelings
were about to express themselves when the scene
before her caused her to reflect. A poor woman
on sick bed, babe not old enough for christen-
ing, child in crib, and two little girls in bed
met her eye. She read the story at a glance, and
returned home under escort Of her husband and
his friend who assured her that she had discovered
the great secret Of Odd Fellowship.

THE EXPRESS EUGEN1E.-In the Paris cores
pondence of the PRECURSOR dAuvers, under date
of the 25th ult., we find the following:
The Empress is enchanted at the idea Of her
visit to the East and she is proud to find that the
Emperor has ended by gaining every one over to
his side. The journey to England ftigued her
greatly; but she always endeavored to conceal its
effects, from an apprehension that the Emperor
would not consent to take her with him to the East
Whenever the sense of fatigue overpowered her,
she FASTENED to say that which tired her most was
the continual efforts in public to which she was
condemned. Yesterday evening, as she was speak
ing with enthusiasm of her approaching departure
for the East, she added that there was only one
thing that troubled her, in connection with this
journey, and that was the idea of her stopping at
Constantnopople. what would you do at sebas-
topol?" inquired the Emperor, would you ac-
company me about on horseback" "No," re-
piled the Empress, "but wherever there is suffer-
ing to assuage, has not woman a sublime duty to
fulfil? Whilst you would be at the head of your
soldiers would be the leader of those meritorous
women who visit the battle field to attend upon and
console the wounded.

EXTREME PovERrY.-Utter poverty often kills
the affections; but deep, constant, and common
feeling Of this worlds hardships and an equal par.
ticipaton in all those struggles BY which they may
be softened, unite husband wife, parents and
children, brothers and sisters in thoughtful and
subdued tenderness, making them happy, indeed,
while the circle round the FIRE is unbroken, and yet
preparing them every day to bear the separation,
when some one or the other is taken slowly o.
suddenly away. Their souls are not moved by fits
and starts although, indeed, nature sometimes wiz
wrestle with necessity; and there is wise moder.
ation both in the joy and the grief Of the INDECENT
poor, which keeps lasting trouble away from this
earthly lot, and prepares them silently and uncon.
scaousy for heaven WILSON.

CHANGES IN THE EARTH.-In deepening vel
the other day, on Dauphin-wap, for one Of his
tenants, Mr.. F. G. Kimball found at the depth Of
eighteen feet below the surface, the stump Of q
large cypress tree in state of pretty good preser
walton. 1t was not to be sure, sound wood bu,
sufficiently so to show that it cypress and that
the tree had been cut down with an axe. The fac,
Of finding, at considerable depths under the sur.
face remains Of trees and other vegetation of the
kinds now existing in our forests, is not by any
means strange or unusual but when it is asserted
by highly respectable gentleman that these marks
of the axe are plainly to be seen, one is little
startled to account for the phenomenon. 1t is
we'll known throughout this region that at the
depth of sixteen to eighteen feet regular stratum
is found, usually denominated ''swamp mud" in
which are found leaves portions of tress, etc. All
above generally consist Of strata of sand and clay
alternating From this, we argue, that while this
swamp existed and was covered with heavy
growth of timber the whole sank in some convul-
sion of nature, and remain submerged while the
superintendent mass was being deposited, when
