THE AMERICAN ODD FELLOW.

.f TWENTIETH voLUME-PUBLIsHED IN BOSTON.
THE Oldest and certainly the best family paper for
Odd Fellows in the country. Its design has ever
been to present the principles Of the Independent Or
der Of OddFelows prominently before the public and
also such intelligence as to the progress Of the Insti
tuition as shall be Of general interest. The depart.
ment devoted to matters pertaining to the Order
though comprehensive and complete, occupies com
paratively small portion of the paper. =.
Various other journals of the Order having been
added to it during the past few years. and recently
the journals Of New York State namely the Banner
Of the Union the Golden Rule and the Mirror Of the
Times. Ff -. tlss.
Having had for years large and EXTENDED patron.
age, we appear before brethren Of the Order
with greatly enlarged circulation and shall do our
best to merit the confidence and esteem of the thou
sands Of readers added by our new arrangements.
For some years past, there have existed various
journals of the Order in different parts of the coun
ry has been considered necessary that the Brother
OF the Lodge who would be informed OF the progress
Of our principles should take than one newspa
per devoted the interests Of the Drer but this
ccssity of taking than weekly journal is
trely obviated by the arrangements now made as we
have at great expense secured not only the lists of
subscribers and the good will Of all these weekly
newspaper establishments, but the large and excellent
corps Of correspondents attached to the and it will
be endeavor to give not only the latest inelli-
gecc from every part Of the country, but to publish
every article of information which can be of interest
to any member Of the Order throughout the United
States. ...-. .- .---.... .. ...-
We have disposition, an ardent desire, to furnish
the Brothers of our widespread Order the best jour.
nal of the kind ever published and with their efforts,
we will do IT, We ask their assistance in sending us
communications for the paper.
We have long been aware that it was not for the
interests of the Order to have too many weekly news
papers. One journal Of this kind We have always
supposed would receive adequate support, while the
amount Of patronage divided among several
would afford to each meagre support indeed. We
have therefore, after great excrOn and expense con-
centrated the entire weekly press Of the Order in
journal, THO American Odd Fellow and Golden Rule,
and it shall be constant aim and effort to make it
the Jealous exponent Of the principles of beloved
Order. TERMS. l.
The price Of single subscription is 50 per annum,
in advance three copies for 81; five copies for So; ten
copies for SIS; twenty copies for s25; thirty copies

EYrRAvAGANcE.-A Philadelphia letter writer
says, of party which was given by Mrs. Rush,
millionaire Of that city, a fewdays ago: 5.r
"About two thousand invitations were issued
and the entire cost Of the entertainment, am in
formed, was in the vicinity of 100000, the bare
item of bequcsts alone costing 81 ,000 which were
distributed in elegant profilson around her splen-
did mansion. 1t was nothing but one inccssant
rcvcl'ing in luxury from beginning to end. At
half past four o'clock in the morning green tea
sweet bread and terrapins, at the closing feast
preparatory to the departure of the remaining
guests, were served up" f.i-.. ....--..... .-.
PRoGREss OF Know wNorHINGIsM-The Memphis
Enquirer, of the 27th ult., has the following:
We have had the assertion made in our pres
cncc, by reliable authority that out of the 97
members of the present Arkansas Legislature, 73
are Know-nothings! This too, is said to be q fact
notwithstanding the majority by which Mr. Macon's
resolutions condemnng the Order passed through
that body. The Know-Nothings the same author
ity says voted for these resolutions simply be-
cause they wish to ''keep dark" and "didnt care
much for Paper pallets Of the brain anyhow"

A Young Mans Character.

No young man who has a just sense of
his own value will sport with his own char
acter. A watchful regard to his character
in early youth will be of inconceivable value
to him in all the remaining years of his life.
When tempted to deviate from strict propri-
ETY. of department, he should ask himself
Can / afford this Can l endure hereafter
to look back upon this?
1t is of amazing worth to a young man to
have a pure mind for this is the foundation
Of a pure character. The mind, in order to
be kept pure, must be employed in topics of
thought which are themselves lovely, chast-
ened, and elevating. Thus the mind hath
in its own power the selection of it's themes
of meditation. If youth only knew how du-
rable and how dismal is the injury produced
by the indulgence of degraded thoughts-if
they only realized how frightful were the
moral depravities which a cherised habit of
loose imagination produces on the soul-thev
would shun them as the bite of a SERPENT
The power of books to excite the imagina-
ton is a fearful element of moral death when
employed in the service Of vice.
The cultivation of an amiable, elevated.
and glowing heart, alive to all the beauties
of nature and all the sublimities of truth.
invigorates the intellect, gives to the will in
dependence OF baser passions, and to the af-
~fections that power Of adhesion to whatever
is pure, and good, and grand, which is adap-
ted to lead out the whole nature of man into
those scenes of action and impression by
which its energies may be most appropriate
ly employed, and by which it's high destina-
ton may be most efectually reached.
h opportunities for exciting these facul
ties in benevolent and self-denying efforts for
the welfare of our fellow-men, are so many
and great that ~itreally is worth while to live
The heart which is truly eyangelically benev.
client, may luxuriate in an age like this
The promises of God are inexpressibly rich
the main tendencies of things SO manifestly
in accordance with them, the extent ofmora
influence is SO great, and the effects of it.
employment so visible, that whoever aspire:
after benevolent action and reaches forth fol
things that remain for us, to the true dignity
of his nature, can find free scope for his in
t~ellect, and a~ll-aspiring themes for the heart

The Town of Charlotte.

During our recent visit to this hourishinp
Town we were unable to visit many of the va
rous pointsof interest to be found there, but we
were much pleased to notice the business
activity and enterprise every where visible.
The Stores are very large and filled to reple-
ton with every variety of articles for trade
the humof business and life was all around-
a very large numbered buildings for business
houses and residences were going up-and
every thing we saw justify us in pronouncing
Charlotte as perhaps the most thrifty, pub
lie spirited Town in the State.
We have elsewhere spoken of the gener-
Gus hospitality of it's citizens, but we should
do violence to our feelings were we not to
make special reference to the kindness and
hberality extended to the members of the
Grand Division by J. A. Sadler, Esq. Pro
prietor of "Sadler's Hotel" Mr.. S. is a
bland, urbane gentleman, and his Hotel is
all that can be desired by the way-worn
traveller, as well as a luxurious. place at
which to take up a permanent residence. II
is not to be wondered at that such a House.
kept by such a Host, should be crowded.
May thrift and prosperity attend him throup [
life.
We went through the large FIGURING Mills
of y Lero Springs, Esq. 1t is an establish.
ment Of which any City in the country might
be proud.
We have not time to make further remarks
to-day.

ANOTHER WARNING-WHY WILL YE DIE
We again caution our absentees on the au-
thority of the visiting and resident physicians,
against returning home till after the first of
November.
There is now quite a number of new cases
of fever in the city, chiefly among returned
citizens, perhaps twenty in all-and there
have been several deaths from the disease
since our last issue Mr.. b. Mulholland,
Miss Clemmitt, daughter of Mr.. Robt. Glenn
mitt,) and others. We say again, urgently,
to our hapless people abroad /" Do not come
back till you shall be certified that it is per-
fectly safe to do So" The physicians have
fixed the earliest possible period at which
you can venture to hope for safety in retur-
ming. If poverty with its attendant evils OPP
presses you, it is yet better to suffer awhile
longer abroad, than to suffer and die athome.

Smiles and Frowns.

Why is it that some men always wear a
beaming, cheerful, smiling face, whileothers,
born and raised in. the same climate, always
look like a picked crab apple? There must
be some direct cause for this difference in
disposition and apparent enjoyment of life.
1t cannot be the food they eat, hewater they
drink or the air they breathe that makes this
difference. We have seen many of both elas-
SEES and when we are with a man that seems
to enjoy everything with a smile, I'VE feel
happy ourself, while, on the other hand when
with a crab apple mortal, we feel acid and
puckery. DIR. Franklin once knew a mechan-
ic who was always happy and smiling. The
old Philosopher asked him for the secret OF
his every day cheerfulness.
No secret, DOCTOR" said the mechanic
81 nave got oneof the best wives, and when ]
90 to work, she always has a kind word Of
encouragement for me and when l go home,
she meets me with a smile and a kiss, and
the tea Is sure to be ready and she has done
SO many things through the day to please
me, that l cannot find it in my heart to speak
an unkind word to anybody"
That is the secret! To all whom it ma,

Cars Smashed-NobodY Hurt

On the night of the 18th inst, there was a
considerable jar on the track at Mebanes'
Station on the North Carolina Railroad
The express train from Raleigh arrived some
time after night and stopped at the station
for water. On sounding the pump it was
found that the water was too low, and, there
fore, all hands left the train on the track,
hung out no signal light and vent to sleep
waiting for the water to rise. Some time
after, the freight train come up on is regu-
lar trip intending to stop at the same station
for wood and water, Stacked speed according

into it with much incivility and informality (!
