TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
ALEXANDRIA, La, !
Dec. Is. 1873.

At a special meeting of Rebecca
Lodge No. $40 /. O. B. b., held the
10th inst, It was OH motion ~,
RESOLVED, That committee Of seven
lie appointed to draw up resolutions to
express the grief and sorrow caused by
the death of Brothers Solomon Mayer,
Daniel Gehr and Henri Levy.
The committee respectfully submit
the following:
Resolved, That in the sudden and
untinely death of our beloved breth-
rem, Daniel Gehr. Solomon Mayer and
Henri Levy, this Lodge has sustained
an irrepalable loss, the community its
best and most enterprising citizens,
their social circle the most genial of
companions and it's bril- htest orna-
ments. Attached to this Order, they
were among its chief supporters;-
with unfinching fidelity they adhered
to its principles and teachings; prompt,
intelligent and faithful in the discharge
of every duty, they were among its
most trusted members, and greatly
added to its efficiency and prosperity.
Kind, generous, sympathetic and in all
things charitable, the principles and
teachings of our Order touched always
a responsive chord in the hearts of our
deceased brethren. Their lives were
exemplary, worthy of the imitation of
all members of the Order. And while
there is profound sorrow in the hearts
of all at this dispensation of All Wise
Providence, to whom we bow 10 ham
ble submission, aud while from their
earthly sphere of usefulness our de-
ceased brethren were untimely taken,
yet they leave to US rich legacy, "the
memory of their noble virtues and their
manly deeds"
Resolped, That the we'll known hon
asty, sobriety and business qualifica-
tions of our deceased brethren, their
enterprise, liberality and good jndg-
ment has caused to this community
great loss, which is recognized and
felt by all.
Resotped, That in the social circle,
the death of our beloved brethren has
cansed an aching void, and there the
loss is more deeply felt. Daniel, the
kind, generous and open hearted
friend; Solomon, the polite and genial
gentleman Henri, the quiet, modest
and unobtrusive man, each with his
distinguishing characteristic, but al
alike in virtue and manliness, they
were beloved by tteir friends and
worshipped by their grief stricken
families. Il
Resolved, That to the bereayed wives
and children of our deceased brethren,
Rebecca Lodge extends it's heartfelt
sympathy, aud we humbly pray to the
Divine Dispenser Of all good that He
will sustain them in their grief and
sorrow, and in His Divine mercy give
consolation to their wounded hearts,
such as He alone can give.
ReSoIued, That the Lodge be draped
in mourning, and the members wear
the usual badge for thirty days. 4
Res0IUed, That copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the family of each Of
the deceased, copy spread upon our
minutes and the same published in the

Resolued, That q Committee Of Five
he appointed to draft resolutions ex-
pressing our feelings on the death of
Messrs. Dan Gehr, Solomon Mayer and
Heart Leuy.
The Committee beg leave to submit
the following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Him who
doeth all things best, to remove
from our midst Dan Gehr, Salomon
Mayer and Herr; Leey, the, efore
Be II ResoIved, That while we hum
bly, bow to the DEGREES of an all-wise
Providence, and deeply deplore their
untimely end, we feel that this society
has sustained an irreparabie loss
Among the members of this society,
their merits were, perhaps, best appre-
ciated, and their real worth fully rec
ognized.
Ever active, jealous, conscientious
and faithful In the discharge of every
duty aud trust, always ready to re-
lieve the necessities of the needy, and
who never tired in the performance of
acts of charity. This community roc
Ognizes, but can give but poor express
sion to the grief and sorrow which
they feel, bnt may take some comfort
from that priceless legacy they leave
US, an unstained and spotless character.
Resolped, That as they took rank
among the most enterprising of our
citizens, and as their business qualifi-
cations had marked them as represen-
tative men, the community at large
has suffered a loss which will long be
felt. ia
RssoIUed, That to the stricken wives
and children of our beloved Brethren,
we do hereby tender our siucerest sym
pathy, and that our heartfelt condo
lence is offered them, in this, their
hour of bereavement and sorrow.
ResoIped, That these proceedings be
spread upon our minutes, aud copy
sent to the family of each of the de-
ceased, and the same be publishedin

other is impracticable for all but men
of wealth except by series of years

him to consider what he wants and

will not find any very considerable
difference In the cost of accomplish

of moderate means who own their

Truthful Statements for
Immigrants.
Editor Florida Agricultelrist !:

Editor Florida Agricultatrist
1t is often said that Florida is no
home for a poor man. This is true
so far that there seems to be no home
for poor man anywhere, but as for
it's being worse place than the west
OF other parts of the country, for
that class to emigrate to, it is not.
In the plan of nature, certainly in
social economy, there seems to be no
place for the poor; but if there is a
place for those who are destitute, it
is here. If there is no such place,
this is the nearest approach to 1t.
There are thousands of people in
the great cities north who are both
hungry and cold and this Winter and
every succeeding one VIII occur suci1
scenes as the papers have heretofore
reported for Winters now past there
will be crowds gathered about the
doors of charitable institutions and
about the offices of the overseers of
the Door, begging for food and cloth
ING. Mothers will hold up their ema-
ciated babes and beg poor crust to
supply the nouqshment their own
breasts refuse; men will shoot them
selves because there is no work and
women will prostitute themselves be-
cause thev connot see e'their little ones
starve. These things have been in
the past and will be in the future and
that too among families that are indus
trious when there is work and always
economical. Such families had bet
ter be penniless here than north. for
here, at The worst, it can only be a
question of hunger, while there it is
one of both hunger and biting cold.
A family that is on the road to penu-
ry, north, that each month sees hung
er and cold drawing a little nearer
had better come and take the chance
of the open sky by the sea side, and
fish cooked by a fire of pine knots,
than await the hunger that will come
to the children and the ignorance and
crime that follow in the train of hung
er. But there is no such, long con-
tinued, extreme poverty in Florida,
and no need of it, unless sickness and
disaster wait on every move Of fam
lily and that may occur north as well
as south.
These remarks apply only to the
extremely poor who have nothing
more than the means to get here,
very few such families migrate to any
place, but if they are to 60, manifest
ly they had best seek mild climate.
It is urged that such settlers are Of no
benefit to the country. A willing
heart and strong hands will create
wealth, and the modest improve
ments of many poor families will add
to the wealth Of the State as pcrcept-
IDLY as the more pretentious works
of the few people of means but if
this were not so it would be hard to
show why it is a valid reason for dis
couraging such immigration unless
men base their actions upon more
selfish motives than most are willing
to admit. The cry that poor people
should notcome to Florida, is usually
raised by those who are not familiar
byactual experience with the priva'
tions attending such emigrants to
the west. 1t is bad logic to reason
that the west is better than the south
merely because the Prospeeti is snot
brilliant here. The west is no Edo.
