At the anniversary of Odd Fellowship
held at Odd Fellows Hall last Monday
evening, it was my pleasure to listen to
one of the most interesting and instruc

townsman-C. H. Covell-on the bene-
fit derived from benevolent secret asso-
Citations, that I ever heard. Too much
cannot be said in its praise. The Ian.
guage, style of delivery, illustrations
voice, etc, were perfect, and it is my
desire to hear it again and I hope he
may be requested to repeat it-not on
ly for the benefit of those he seems to
have at heart, but also for his own ben.
eft, he having great need of the means.
I am sure that the community at large
would be benefited in no small degree
from his exposition Of the grand prin-
ciples which govern these organiza-
tions.

OUR DUTIES.

While we honor the names of our
departed fathers, and lightly tread
upon their graves, let us not forget
that we will be remembered for our
good or evil deeds, when our children's
children occupy our places here. We
must be careful, then how we shall
conduct ourselves, and whom we shall
select to fill our places. We must avoid
the evil and the dissolute, and place
the mantle of authority on our best
and safest men. Stand forever aloof
from all jarring contest around you
Remember that we occupy platform
so far above the worlds cold conflicts,
that all the flags and banners of the
earth commingle in one common hue.
Companions, as citizens, discharge
your duties to your country do it
faithfully-do it manfully and bravely
for no true Mason is q coward. No
craven heart should ever enter here.
He who is Ease in family. to kindred or
to friends, would be as false to all fra
ternalties. Trust not such, nor even
let him cross your threshold. In all
your varied relations of life, political,
religious, social, domestic or fraternal
act freely, open, manfully, and indie
pendently. But beware of the insidi-
GUS danger of one of these relations
commingling with another.
Think not that every man must be
dishonest whose faith, whose thoughts
and feelings differ from your own. Ii
all men thought alike on every subject,
no emulation would exist, and men
would sink down to the level of the
common brute. However much in all
the walks OF life, you may revere. a
home or kindred, friends or country,
principles or falkland cursed be he
who feels not all this reverence-yet,
as Masons, in the separate associations,
you know no land, no kindred, no
country; you know no ties but those
which bind you to each other, and
cement the world wide brotherhood in
one community. 1t was beautifully
said by the poet Wordsworth -
"Dust, as we are, the immortal spirit
grows
Like harmony in music there is dark,
Inscrutable workmanship that recon.
Giles
Discordant elements, and makes them
cling together
In one society"
Bound together by this tie, we freely
grasp the hand of our country's foe,
though fresh from the ensanguined
field-of Christian, of Jew, of him who
falls beneath the wheels of ignorance,
martyr to his faith-we ask not
whence he came, or what his kindred
or his faith ; enough to know that he
was formed by God Almighty's hand,
and meets us with the grip of brother
hood. lis this, and this alone, that
has sustained our Order through tumul-
tuous ages. Monthly.

SALEM, N. j., april 20.

SALEM, N. j., april 20.
The Grand Division o; Sons of Tenn
perance of this State held its quarterly
session at Salem, Salem county, yester-
day. About ninety representatives were
present, and very interesting and en-
couraging session was had. From the
very interesting and full report OF Grand
Worthy Patriarch Rev. A. NJ Palmer,
we learn that fourteen new Divisions
have been instituted during the la, .
quarter, and one Section of Cadets Of
Temperance and three Bands of Hope
have been organized, and that the in
crease of membership will not fall far
short of one thousand. The reports
from the different Deputies are very
cheering from all parts of the State,
and majority of the Divisions are out
spoken in favor of prohibitory law,
and electing to offices of honor and
trust Temperance men, and Temper
ance men only, without regard to poll
tics. The resolutions which were pass
ed at the meeting of the Temperance
State Alliance, which met in Trenton
last January. embodying the views
above mentioned, were unanimously
adopted. Twenty three representatives
we're initiated. The Treasurer reports
cash on hand, of the regular and pro
pagation funds, 1858. &C. Five out OF
the fourteen new Divisions instituted
are in Ocean county, owing to the Ia
bors of NJ. H. Pogson, the Temperance
lecturer, and the efficient Deputy of
that district, David Merrill. Three
charters of extinct Divisions have been
surrendered. Several new Divisions
are about being formed in different
parts OF the State, and the friends Of
the cause have reason to rejoice that
the Order is 40 rapidly gaining ground.
A pleasing feature of the proceedings
was an appropriation of twenty-five dol
lars made from the funds of the Grand
Division, to purchase one hundred CO.
pies of Temperance Chimes" for the
children of the Soldiers Orphans
Home" NJ. H. Pogson, who made the
motion, addressed them some time
since, when one hundred and sixty
three of them, boys and girls, signed
| the total abstinence pledge. God bless
those little orphans, made so by the
sacrifice of their fathers on the altar OF
their country. May they, at least, grow
up to be Temperance men and women.
The Members of Salem Division No. II
had ample provision made for the &C
commodstion of the visiting represen-
tatives. G. w. P. Palmer, G. s. How
ell, P. G. W. P. Hick, and the Deputy
Of Elizabeth district, were qualSsre with
the hospitable family of Col. VIM. B.
Robertson, and we can assure our read
ers that the Col 8 family know how to
keep house. In the evening, after the
adjournment of the Grand Division. a
large and very interesting Temperance
meeting was held in Rumsey's Hall,
and was addressed by George Ii. Hick,
Rev. r. V. Lawrence, and NJ. H. Pog-
son. The speech Of the latter was de-
cidedly the most eloquent and finished
lecture that the good people of Salem
have listened to in long time. Rev.
A. M. Palmer, G. W. P, presided, and
Rev. G. r. Sny der offered prayer. The
next quarterly session of the Grand Di-
vision will be held at Belvidere, Warren
county, on Wednesday, July rs.
