To the student of English history
no locality has clinging around it
such a mass of mysterious and gloomy
associations as the Tower of London.
1t has been celebrated in prose and

that have disgraced earth's history.

toTcible writer has been long estab-

incidents connected with its history.

0dors and Memories.

Wonderful Is the link between odors
and memories A sprig OF wild mint
or pcnnyroyal takes mo back to early
childhood and sunny fields bordercd
by old oaks and rhestnnts, and down
the fox-grape hollows, all now grown
visionary in the distance. A breeze
across a barn IN mid.wintcr will set
us in the summer-felds amid the new.
mown hay and the songs OF bobolinks
and the murmur Of the woods.
None the less are the odors linked
with the airy brood Of the Imagination
An orange-bud will carry us to Sor-
rento-a rose TO Persia and the Para
disc of the Houris. Even the scent
from city warehouse will send US
far out to sea, away to China and the
"wealth Of Ormus and Ind"
Every one with the least musical
car knows how subtle and powerful is
the link between certain tunes or pas
sages Of music and persons, places
scenes associated with them how
they set us musing on the past, and
unlock the mysteries Of memory.
Not less subtle and powerful are the
entertainments of odors There is as
mucn poetry in the'u as in oishts AND
sounds. A lady with a sandal wood
fan will ditfuso around the room deli
cate dreams of Araby the Blest The
rose in her hair or on her bosom, ,he
boquet she holds in her hand, the faint
perfume OF her dress, will carry ones
thoughts not only TO the hower.gar
den and the conservatory, but TO all
the amenities ofrcfncd female society.
She will move about among those OF
the coarser sex like the sweet south.
She will bring with her everywhere
suggestion of refined culture and
Christian civilization. As the dainty
Leigh Hunt sings, or as he makes the
flowers sing:

IL is not half as bad as either OF these.
and il the members Of your church are

means, dance-or, which is better,
stay at home. As for our church VIC
arc not obliged to DO either"

26th of April next. 1t will, probably,
be one OF the most imposing demon

superintend the preliminaries.
In 1880 the Order existed in six
States and the District of Columbia,
aud comprised over 5000 members.
In lS4O there were lodges in twenty.
one States and Territories, 1000
members, and in 1850 the reorganization
had augmented 10 l75,OOO members,

bers about 100000 contributing men,

located in every State and Territory
in the Union, in the Canadian Domin.
ion. British Columbia, in Australia
and the islands OF the ocean. Tho
various branches of the family of Odd
Fellows number in the aggregate at
least 100000 men. The total reve.
nue. in the New World during tho past
year apprcximated $500, GOO, and
disbursements in the same time for

admiration, for bis household Mrs.

never appeared in society in Washing
ton. Her very exisiencei Is a myth to
almost every one She was last seen
at party given to her grandchildren.
She was seated in one Of tho Repubi.
can Court chairs, dainty affair of
satin and ebony. She did not rise
when the children, or older guests,
were presented TO her, she simply
said "My dears, | am an invalid p
and her sad, pale face and sunken,
eyes, fully proved the expression.
Mrs Johnson looks much older than
the President, and her age does exceed
his by few swings Of the scythe OF
time She was never beautiful, but
an observer would say, contemplating
her-''a noble woman-God's first,
best gift to man" Perhaps it is we'll
to call to mind at this time that it
was this woman who taught the Presi.
dent to read after she became his
wife; and that in all theirearlier years
she was his counsellor, assistant and
guide. None but wise and good
mother could have reared such daugh-
ters as Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Slower.
When Mrs. Senator Patterson found
herself the "frst lady in the land" she
made this remark, which has been tho
keynote Of the feminine department
Of the White House from that eventful
day to the present time: ave arc
plain people. from the mountains OF
Tennessee, called here for short time
by National calamity. i trust too
much will not be expected OF us"
Isn't this the ring of the true metal !;
and have VIC not all lived to see IL car
ried out to the end? When Anna
Surratt threw herself PROSTATE upon
the floor of one of the ante-rooms of
the White House, begging piteously
to see Mrs. Patterson, she said "TelI
the girl she has my sympathy, my
tears, but / have no more right TO
speak than the servants Of the White
House" When the "paidon brokers'
trailed their slimy lengths everywhere
about the mansion, they never dared
TO cross a certain enchanted pathway,
and the face of any lobbyist set in this
has always brought up in
the end against a stone wall. 1t is
true, the fashionable world has smiled
at those two women for their plain
dress; for their shy, diffident manners;
for their filling so small space in the
public eye. These fashionable people
have also refused to compare these
women TO some of the first queens of
the country; who either used the
''East Room" for dyeing the Execu-
tive clothes, and who spent their spare
time knitting the Presidents stock
ings but it is not wisdom for the
to believe that the Creator
never makes anything in nature so
forsaken but that it has some redeem
ing qualiiyg And ii may be possible
that these noble women are set in
Andrew Johnson's administration Just
as the palm-crowned island is fang
upon The watery waste of the sea.
