The exercises consisted of vocal and in
strumental music; an Grafton upon Flores
tiers and Forestry" by DR.. G. II. GETzEK-
BANNER; an address of presentation of a
beautiful banner heretofore described in
these columns) by Mrs. MARX WINELAND,
and the recital Of poem by Miss SUE A.
GROVE.
A large audience was present and mani
tested delighted approval of the exercises.
The following extracts from DR., GETz-
ENDANNER's Grafton will serve to show the
merit of his effort and the benevolent OBJ
jects of the Order:
The objects of our Society are the cult
vation of friendly feeling, to enjoy the bic s.
ings of reciprocal friendship, to give perma-
nent value to love and charity, SO there
may be harmonious intercommingling of
those beauties of character which can alone
be developed by secret Societies.
We are placed in this world for action and
development, not for the mere purpose of
revolving around our ownselves as pivot,
but that every revolution may bring us in
closer contact with fellow man, knocking
from him his rough poipts-and in turn lc-
ceiving that true pleasure and happiness
which alone comes from contact.

Now, a few words in reference to our
beautiful banner, upon one side we behold
the man, perfect in physique, able to do
duty, willing and ready to meet the respon-
sibilitics of life. Here all ispeace and calm
e. f,r ran,iplal of
the necessity of duty, SO when lifes fitting
scene is over we can reap our reward the
poise of which is so steady and unchanged
BILE that the thermometer would fail to reg
lister variation Who can behold the wild
ow, who should ever be the object of our
solicitude and tender care as she silently
kneels at the tomb--who can, without ex-
pressing sympathy" witness the silent
tear, the very dew drop of her nearly broken
heart as it trickles down her pale and anX-
iOus cheek-pale from care at the bedside of
the diving Neutrality-suspicious. because she
knows not what the morrow has in reserva-
ton for her, when once her protector is TIA
ken from her, and she is less able to meet
the requirements of every day life? Alas
how often does man withdraw his support,
become importunate for money, and adds
gall to the already embittered cup
Then is the time-the time of all others
that she needs advisory council and protect
ing care Then is the time when the bea
con hight of Forestry sheds her genial lustre
over the desolate hearth, seizes the dagger
that is held to her heart and proclaims it
self her protector.
We also append the presentation address
by Mrs WINELAND:
80
to the Court for the honor conferred by
calling it after that name which, of all 9th
ers, is the most dear to me, and as your OBJ
ject is Bencvolence and Charity, | hope
your noble institut ion will thrive and pros
per and that the coming generations will
bless the efforts that you, their fathers, have
put forth for their elevation.
May this tribute not only meet with your
respect who now constitute the Officers AMI
Members of the Court, but of all such VIII
may hereafter fill your places.
