The members or "he fraternity individually pledge their honor ihitthey will assist a brother ia distress. There is no obligation exi-ting among them to trade exclusivly with one another in preference to their fellow citizens generally, but each one is perfectly at liberty to deal in the manner and with the persons best suited in his opinion to pro there the slightest testriction imposed on ' his political freedom.

To become an Odd Fellow, the following qualifications aie Jindispensible. A belief i;i One Supreme Ueing, the Governor and Preserver of the Universe a fair moral character, the legal ai;e of majority, and some known reputable means of support. Any one thus qualified can apply for membership. His petition is referred to a committee whose duty is to ascertain whether these things be so, & report thereon. The candidate is balloted for, and ii ths issue be favorable, he is ini'Uted. The mode of iuitation cannot be set forth in a public address, because the injunction ofsecrecv has nev;r been moved. This topic is not prohibited, however, on account of any mystery that need fear the light. There have been pretended exposures of these secrets oflate years- Wheth er thev be authentic or fictitious, 1 have never cared to ascertain by actual perusal. If they be false, they wilt of course come to nongh; if they he true, no detriment can ensue to the Order; for not a single sentence in our ritual would dishonor the tongue of a man, or offend the ear of a woman. There are, in all. fourteen degree of the Order. They are conferred by certain cermonies. instructive and pleasing, impressive and sublime. The candidate pledges his honor never to divulge them. In no instance is an oath required, nor is there any penalty invoked by, or prescribed against the unfaithful confident. If he prove recreant to his pledge of honor, his own want of principle will eventually bring upon his head appropriate retribution. Should such a mn avow his social perjury in print, he would strike no panic into the Older. N t a .single member of the fraternity wonld molest his constitutional rights of spe-ch.but he would be allowed to remain, where he had placed himself, before the tribunil of public opinion, whose degrees can inflict a living torture, Inrder to be borne than any punishment at the hands of a betrayed brotherhood. I lure said l ist we were bound by a pledge of honor lo assist a distressed brother. Dy a distressed brother we mean strictly a member of our Society who is sick and destitute. To enable ourselves promptly and efficiently to extend this aiJ, we ech pay into the general fand weekly "dues" making in the aggregate about five dollars a year. Out of this Treasury, an allowance of, generally, four dollars, is paid weekly to a brother, so long as h is incapacitated lo pursue ihe avoraiiiiu by which he obtains a livelihood. This sum is, in most caes, amply sufficient. Should peculiar circumstances, however, in any instance render inadequate U relieve ihe "distress,'"this Lodge, by a special vote: may increase the appropriation, or a voluntary subscription among the members supplies such am unt as the emergency may d.Tiand. The aid thus furnished is tech nicaly called the ''benefits." These benefits, however, are not piid indiscriminate ly. Three inquiries are first m.tJe by the Lcidge, which must all be satisfactory answered before the invalid can receive them. They are 1st. Whether the dis tressed bfother is ill gold standing in his! ,,a Lodge; 21, Whether he has punctually paid hi dues up to the lima of hi sickness; 3d. Whether his sickness is involuntary, and not superinduced by any imm ra'itr. If those interrogatories be affirm Uively rP-mnnnW h . , cvorr.UM h.np. t-..

The advantages of Odd Fellowship must not be supposed to be exclusively physical. The institution exerls great moral power. It brings men together, and by their intercourse mutual prejudices are re moved and capricious antipathies relinquished. Many strong friendships have been formed in the Lodge between men who, otherwise, might never have been conciliated. Every Odd Fellow knows the truth of this remark, and can refer to his own experience for confirmation. Man in active business life have little sympathy with any except such as co-op erate m the great enterprise of a self interest. They bjcome accustomed to this indifference, and from the mere effect of circuinstances.jbecome unpopular. They are denounced as proud and unfeeling, while their hearts are swelling with the warmest emotions of good will towards ail ! mandkind. Odd jFeilowship appears and they breathe a new atmosphere. They frequently meet those with whom they have had for years but a causual acquaintance. Mutual misaprehensiens are corrected and attachments are founded on reciprocal confidence and affection between neghbors who have for years, perhaps pas sed one another with a reluctant sign of resignation. The moral influence of Odd Fellowship is, in this view, lo be estimated far above its mere ability to minister to Ihe bodily necessities of its members. That the community acknowledge the good fruits of our Institution is evident from the vast increase of ihe fraternity. Twenty-seven years ago five men organi

General Worth. We have eldora heard an old soldier re-

count the history of his life and ' fight his bailies o'er again" with greater sincerity or more honest enthusia3m than a friend exhibited in our sanctum, on Saturday, independent ' as a lord."

Enough Worth's ancestry, our friend informed us, were from Martha's Vineyard, Mjs;ajdiusetts, a proud bold stock, of high and (aborigines & of the pri.nitve settlers of the Old Day State. W, all the energetic and ort:i, when young, to free-born nature of me Anglo-American, added the roaming, Worth had been ganisoned for some . where the misconduct ; months at of a fellow soldier, sei him upon the first round of the ladder. Worth was a btolher, then as now, lo a soldier in distress, and encouraged his fellow, after he had been made know n the penalty of his conduct, to make to the commanding officer a representaiion of the affair in writing, lie pleaded his ignorance and want of skill in writing, and the probab.lity of failure. 'Here, give me a pen," said Worth; and in a few minutes, dashed off, in a clear bold hand and unassuming manner, a few lines vindicating the soldier in strona terms, and presenting his case in a view not entertained before. The soldier presented it to his officer: ' Did you write this?" was quickly asked, and answered in the negative. "Who did?" ' Private Worth sir." ' Send Private Worth lo me," In a few minutes Worth presented himself with the same rather blustering and consequential air that usually marked his bearing, and whh a prompt "At your service sir." "Did you write this?" "I did. sir," short and quick. Sundry questions were asked as to his former occupation, object in entering the army, &c, which were answered in the same positive and reckless tone, a:iJ Worth was dismissed with "Come to my marquee in the morning." There was so little thai was encouraging in the Commander's tine, lhat Worth was totally unconscious of the good fortune in store for him, when he appeared on next morning, and the officer observed ' I want you for my private secretary." This was enough fur Worth. His ac live, resolute and deiermined manner, and commanding appearance, struck the scru tinizing eye of General Scott, wh-n they first met, who forthwith selected him as his Aid. Opprtunity soon occurred, and in the early part of the battle of Lundy's iwo of his soldiers attempted lo bear him j from the field, w hen a ball struck one of jihem, scattering his brains over Worth and his companion. The other seized him in his arms, and carried him from the : reach of the enemy. His friends mourn- . ed him as dead, and months elapsed be- ( through his various successes and promolions, and his gallant and conduct in the Florida war. distinguished The part he i acted in thecaptuie of Monterey was bold , my on the memorable Sih and 9. h of May would urge him headstrong into ihe fight, heedless'of his own life or the lives of his 1 men. Worth was always bold, inlerpid, sometimes i tiMtss oi const 7 ijii elites ucn i i I I 1 1 duty prompted; but calm and collected when he knew success hnng upon cool. deHherate and decisive action. His Government has rewarded his irorfiby steady promotion, and his countrymen, wiih one voice, besto a ed ''honor upon whom honor u due."

'Oh, how good you are, James!" "But let us see, my boy," said the magistrate; "the Couit is disposed to do all ii can for your sister. However, you must give us someexplaniition." "About a fortnight ago, sir,'' continued the boy, "my poor mother died of a bad cough, fur it was very cold at home. We were in great trouble. Then I said to myself, I wiil become an arlizin, and when 1 know a good trade I will support my sister. I went apprentice to a brush maker. Every day I used to carry her half my dinner, and al night I took her secretly to my room, and she blept on my bed while 1 slept on the floor, wrapped in my blouse. Dul it appears the poor little th ng had not enough to eat, for, unfortunately, one day s'te begged on the boulevard. When 1 heard she was taken up, 1 said to myself,' 'come, my boy, things cannot last s ; you must find somathing belter. I very much wished to become an artizan, but al last decided to look for a place. I have found a very good one, w here I am lodged, fed, and clothed, and have twenty I ranees a month. I have also found a good woman, who, for these twenty frames, will lake care of Lucille and teach her ncedle-vork. I claim my sister." "My boy," said the magistrate, ' your conduct is very honourable. The Coutt encourages you lo persevere in this course and you will prosper." The Court ihen decided to render up Lucille to James, and she was going from the bat to join her brother, when the mag istrate smilingly said, "You cannot be set al liberty till to-morrow." "Never mind, Lucille. I will come and fetch you early to-morrow. (To the magistrate) I may kiss her, may 1 not, sir?" He then threw himself into the arms of his sister, and both wept warm tears of affection. Notes from Ily Knapsnck. nVG. H. TlBlN, LATE CAP. OF LA. VOL.
