RIDAY. APRIL 8, /
An IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
The afternoon of the last day Of Il
meeting Of the National Grange, VIZ
devoted almost exclusively to lea,
taking. Mr.. Wardlaw of Florida Wa
the first to spook, and the impressiy
scene introduced by him gave tone /
, au tho after speeches, and afford
most interesting evidence of the clos
brotherly union that exists in Il,
Order; union that effectually bridge
all chasms-all differences whethe
sectional, political or religions. Al
the speeches made on that day wer
marked like the one we here give. b
a spirit of high fraternal regard an,
devotion to the Order; but this mos
pre- emnently. Mr.. Warllaw offcre,
Q resolution of thanks to the Worth,
Master and Overseer Of the Nationa
Grange, for the patient and faithful
manner in which they had performed
their duty. After the resolution wa
read, he arose and spoke as follows:
"Whcn Florida is called upon t,
place beautiful wreath upon the still
more beautiful brow of some local sis
ter, she not only responds with alac
rity, but esteems it rs a pleasure, q
high and honored privilege. But, to
day, formally to bid adicu, brothers
and sisters, to the pleasurable emo
tions with which we have been sur
rounded during this convocation, is
truly unpleasant, is terribly embarras-
ing, touching q tender corly l have
always appreciated the noble senti-
ment-
The heart feels most when the lips move not
But the eye speaks gentle goodbye
2" Very soon, Worthy Master, the
sound of your gavel will be heard, and
the question asked our Worthy Over
seer, Are the lab0rs of the day COM
pletedf' and the response come back,
They are, Worthy MASTER Then
will the solemn significance Of these
words, reverberating through this hall,
for the last time, be felt by many Of
us as never before,
"HOw it should remind us of the i'm
portant necessity of preparing to meet
where parting is no more.'
"When Virgil babe adieu to his be-
loved Dulcinea in those beautiful,
touching and prophetic words:
Yale. vale, !ongam vale
We repeat to admire.
"When Napoleon Bonaparte looked
upon his lovely Josephine, and turned
from her in the consummation of the
darkes; deed of his life, afterwards to
be bmished to lonely exile, the
only tends to give us
pain.
rBut, Worthy Master, many practi.
cal illustIati0ns are afforded us of q
band Of brothers and sisters being to-
yether for days in the most harmoni
ous, social and friendly accord; gath
red together as they have been in
his hall from all quarters of the
Union. We rejoice but to sorrow at
he necessity of separation.
"Sad though the thought, it is SOL
mn truth that some of us Will never |
meet again. ltis gratifying, however,
Worthy Master, to know, as l honests
y believe, that this meeting, by it's
widespread influence from north to
0uth, from east to west, caps the last
lrch that spans the bridge of the nm
ortunate Bloody Chasm.' As it was
ny sad pleasure, as the representative
+ Florida, fourteen years ago, in the
charleston Convention, to deliver q
hort eul0gy upon one Of the h0nored
Ons Of the Green Mountain State, ex-
a0veEnr Robinson, who was sudden
stricken down by death on the Sec
nd morning Of our session, if my
rOther from Vermnnt will meet me

Hero the representative from Yer
lont stepped forward and extended
is hand, which was held in q fratern-
clasp by the gentleman from Flori-
a for some time, amid the wild and
applause Of these present.
or Q few moments deep silence reign
in the convention, indicative of the I
rong feelings awakened by this sig
ificant scene.
Mr.. Wardlaw resamed his remarks ,
, follows: "Worthy Master, one
