the ''clcister's pale'':
TIN tired Of courts and courtiers,
She sought the cloisteT's pale
And calmly had her hair cut Oft.
And calmly took the veil -
But after She had done this she felt deep regret,
ana sue found the reception Of biHet-doHr was
not oisagreea5le after all She missed them so
nuch mat Sue was SorelV distressed and en-
Ployed lasting and PRAYER to mortify the flesh and
was all in vain
Her hastings and fagellations at length became
the admiration OF the country, and she was even
tually raised to the position of an abbess. The
siuggle, however, was too much, and she slowly
pinned away. until
One night, unto her pallet side

EDITOR SrAR:-While the military and various
other organizations are making arrangements to
appear in procession on the 22d inst we desire to
ask why it is that the Odd Fellows are not brush
ing up their trappings, Is it because they have
been invited to do SO, If they have not then
certainly some one is to blame We should like
II see them outfit they have not been invited
we would suggest the prcprety of doing 5 at
once 1t should be remembered that they number
II this District about 400, ard under the iars-
dicton Of the 6 l.. U. :. about two hundred and
TIN thousand, which alone should enti;le them TO
some consideration. Yours &C. AFU
