At this. the annual meeting, it
is proper that l should report the
condition Of the Association, and
trust that it will not be considered
improper for me to make q few
suggestions as to the needs Of this
Association.
On Jan, 22d, 1870, when elected
your President, we had 1S4 mem
bers. At the commencement Of the
year we numbered All members;
the pumber is now 544. showing
net increase in the year Of 73, and
during my term Of Office 800.
No one admitted during the past
year has iie;i. The families of
those who have died, have received
benefits as follows:

These statistics do not furnish
evidence Of wonderful success in
the operation Of our Association,
but it does show that it enjoys a
healthy degree Of prosperity, and
it is with some degree of pride that
we point to our record Tits is u
new enterprise, and like all other
projects, must show its merit be.

The statistics show that since
our organization we have dropped
al members for non-payment OF
assessments. This ought not to
have occurred. The Odd Fellows

for four years--one year longer
than ours has had membership
Of 1000, and has lost but 90 mem

be that our Ohio brethren are more

Order, and the principles that ae

but rather that they have examined
more carefully the intimate con-
nection between this Association
and the fundamental principles oil
our beloved Order.

going on, demands and necessities
are not stayed. To avoid this pos
sible difficulty, it is suggested that
q resolution be passed at this ses-
sion to permit tie trustees. in case
OF . future death Of a member, to
make double assessment-this
only TO be done in case the Trus-
tees thought it advisable Another
advantage would attend this. aud
that is, i. would save the trouble
and expense of one assessment, as
the double one could be made and
collected with as little expense as
q single assessment. I think the
change, with this restriction, safe
and desirable, and recommend its
adoption.
We are convinced that our or
ganization is good and worthy
one, and we desire it success. not
o2ly for our own good, but because
we want others to enjoy its bene-
| fits. We desire to make it perma-
nent, and to accomplish this end,
must earnestly and actively engage
in extending its operations, and in
ducing Odd Fellows throughout
our territory to unite with US. To
accomplish this. we must make its
plans and workings known l
therefore suggest the prop rlety Of
having proper person visit the
various lodges throughout our ter
ritory, for the purpose OF bringing
the Association to their attention
in proper way, and that the laws
and reports Of our proceedings,
from time to time, be printed tor

Stronger far than cable chain,
That doth bind our spirits still,
Though between US fows the main.
Though our paths lie far apart,
As it were from pole to pole,
Nousht can break the golden chain
Binding kindred soul 10 soul.
There AIe those with whom we walk
In our daily joy or care,
Who are yet so far away
That they do not hear our prayer.
When thy waiting feet shall press
Other shores, meath other skies,
Would that were with thee then
To enjoy the sweet surprise.
When some glorious work of art
Thrills thee with its magic power,
Think OF one whose lifelong dream
Fer hath been Of such an hour.
And if thou should'st idly stray
Where the Avon winds along,
With thy soul enwrspped in thought
OF the glorious King of Song,
Send some sweet remembrance back,
Though it be withered flower;
shall know tha. memory turned,
Homeward in that thoughtful hour
And promise thee, sweet friend,
Wheresoe'er thy feet may stray,
For their swift and sure return
shall ever hope and pray.

DON'T LET MOTHER 20 IT.

BY CARRIE ALTON.
Daughter, don't let mother do it!
Do not let her slave and toll
While you sit, a useless idler,
Fearing your soft hands to soil.
Don't you see the heavy bnrthens
Daily she is wont to bear
Bring the lines upon her forehead
Sprinkle silver in her hair
Daughter, don't let mother do it!
Do not let her bake and broil
Through the long, bright summer hours
Share with her the heavy toll
See, her eye ms lost its brightness,
Faded from her check the glow,
And the step that once was buoyant
Now 10 feeble, weak and slow.
Daughters, don't let mother do it
She has cared for you so long,
Is il right the weak and feeble
Should be toilInm for the strong
Waken from your listless lan.uo
Seek her side to cheer and bless;
And you, grief will be less bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughters, don't let mother do i'll
You will never never know
What were homo without mother,
Till that mother lieth low
Low beneath the budding daises,
Free from earthly care or pain
To the home, so sad without her,
Never to return again.

THE STOLEN NOTE.
BY A RETIRED ATTORNEY

Except that be indulged too
freely in the use of the Intoxicating
cup, John Wallace was an honest,
high minded man. His one great
fault hung like dark shadow over
his many virtues. He meant we'll,
and when he was sober he did
we'll.
He was halter by trade, and by
industry and thrift, he had secured
money sufficient to buy house in
which he resided.
He had purchased it several
years before, for three thousand
dollars, paving one thousand down
and securing the balance by mort
gage to the seller.
The mortgage note was almost
due at the time circumstances
made me acquainted with the af-
fairs of the family But Wallace
was ready for the day; he had
saved up the mouey; there seemed
to be no possibility Of any acci
dent. was we'll acquainted with
Wallace, having done some little
collecting, and drawn up some le-
gal documents for him. One day
his daughter, Annie, came to my
Office in great distress, declaring
that her father was ruined, and
that they should be turned out OF
the house in which they lived.
Perhaps not, Miss Wallace,
