Scribe was full and very gratifying as to the condition of the Order, and gave general satisfaction to the Division. By it we learn that arrangements have been completed for the introduction of the Order into England, Ireland, Germany and Italy, and that there is every prospect of iu spreading over Europe. Votes of thanks (to be signed by the F. M. W. P-. and M. W. Scribe) were passed, and ordered to be transmitted to all the D. M. W. Patriarchs who have acted within the past two years, for ineir uiuiiul and devoted services. The following resolution reeardinz the amount of the National Fund paid into the Treasury of mo IN. Division passed: Resolved, That th M W. P., M. W. A- and M S h. an auditing committee to examine

into anl pass npon the several claims that have '

been presented, and if correct, pay the same; and that the amount of claims so declared be deducted from the g-oss amount of the fund contributed, and the balance then remaining be distributed pro rata, according to the contributions among the Grand Divisions, and that those Grand Divisions who have part of the funds contributed on hand, and have not paid the sum over, be required to contribute their proportion. The National Division voted to hold its next session in the city of Cincinnati, on the third Tuesday in May, 154:'. The following resolutions on the formation of a National Fund were passed, to be submitted to the Subordinate Divisions, through the G. D.'s, for their assent or dissent; returns of the vote to be sent in prior to the next session :ec. 1. Each member shall pay into the Treasury, by the usual course, on or before the first meeting in January, annually, a sum not less than two cents, which shall be paid into the 1 reasury of the Grand Division with the April returns, accompanied with a list of members who have contributed the annual instalment; and the sum thus collected shall constitute a general relief fund. Sec. 2 This fund shall be held in trust by the I .. Division for the relief of worthy sick and distressed Brothers, who, in the opinion cf the G. W. P., or his Deputy for the district where application ismade.shall have a claim on sid fund, under such regulations as the Grand Division may adopt. Sec. 3. Winn a Brother from another jurisdiction is assisted from the general relief fund, the Grand Division granting such assistance shall, through its G. W. P. anil G. S., forward to theG. D. under which said Brother holds membership, a correct statement of the case, when the former G. D. shall be reimbursed out of the general relief fund of the latter. The Committee on the state of the Order made a very lengthy and valuable report on the condition of the Oordor, as to the ability of the S. Divisions to pay the present benefits under the dues now assessed in the Constitutions, and offered a resolution to the following effect: That Subordinate Divisions canmt afford to pay 4 dollars r,r week benefits, aud funeral benefits of 30 and 15 dollars, uuless their dues are ten cents per week; that future returns he so altered that they shall show the incidental expenses of Divisions as well as benefits The memorial from Massachusetts in regard to an alteration in the number of representatives in the several Grand Divisions was rejected. Brothers Stone, of Connecticut, Stacy of Massachusetts, and Oliver, of New York, were appointed a committee to prepare a fu neral service. The committee on Constitutions reported a digest of all the existing decisions, with the rules. regulations, and formulas of tho Or.W A resolution was passed, that the alterations in the Constitution and the general laws passed at this session do not take effect until the next October session of the several Grand Divisions. It was decided that Subordinate Divisions may receive proposals for membership and initiatJ at special meetings. A resolution was passed to republish the jour nals of the two first sessions of the National Division, together with that part or the Journal of the Grand Division of New York, relating to the Fountain-Head of the Order. The right of appeal from members of Subortiinate Divisions against the action of G. D.s was i restored. Votes of thanks were unanimously passed to . the M. W. P. aud M. W. S., for their able and i efficient services the past two years. The provisions of the Constitution of the N.v ! tional Division, Part 12, Sees. 2, 3, 4, on voting by ."iVMI's, was repeated by a vote of 34 to T, ami ' in its place substituted: each G. IV shrill lie nllowed one vote for 1000 and less of subordinate members, and one vote for each thousand nn to VMM aud one additional vote for each 500 over 4000. It was resolved to bold a Grand National Jubilee at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the third Tuesday in May, and a committee appointed to carry the

Top Irs.ins Jlrnilow I.n.l. There are several reasons whv this month should be prefered for applying manure to meadow lands. One is, that ihere is more time for it immediately after haying than there is in early Spring. Auother reason is, that many of our meadows are too wet in the Spring for a wagon or cart to be driven over them until it is too late in the season. Turnips should be sown, any time from this till the middle of Ati"ust. Those sown now will give a greater yield, while thoss sown late will cive asouder root and longer preservation. Haifa pound of seed is sutlicient for an acre

I have laud is the best for them, though wherever com heard several persons bear witness to the cures will grow, turnips will also. Farmers should thus affected.

POETICAL.

Old Bachelor. Old Bachelors are hateful things. And ought to be despised; With hearts like broken fiddle-strings, And just as little prized. Uutuned to love's soft thrilling touch, No pleasures do they know; They feel not, and they taste not much Of happiness below. The joys of wedlock, which they spurn, With all its numerous cares E'en for one year, should love's lamp burn, Are worth an age of theirs. Were all like them, the human race Would soon be swept away; And even earth to their disgrace, Would tumble to decay. The social bond the bond so sweet, Where hearts and souls unite; Where friendship, love, and union meet, Would sink in endless night. But 'tis vain for me to prate, I cannot make them clever; Old bachelors I always hate, And must and shall forever. Alone BV C. C. COX. Alone upon the wide, wide world: 'Tis hard to dwell atone. To catah no look of human love, To list no geutle tone; But wander through life's busy crowd, "Lone as the corpse within its shroud." Alone 'tis hard to sit and weep In some untrodden shade, O'er all the recks of life and joy A few brief years are made, To trace the links of that bright chain, Which time, will ne'er unite again. Alone 'tis deeper grief to dream Of those we loved in youth, And feel though time has changed us not, Their hearts are lost to truth, To wake, alas! too late to find, Their vows have passed us as the wind. Alone 'tis agony for one Of spirits proud and strong, To feel life's pulses ebbing fast, Before the world's cold wrong; And sternly hide each pang of fate, That leaves the heart so desolate. Alone 'tis sometimes sweet to mark The green and quiet spot, Where we may sleep when life is o'er, By all the world forgot With none to bless our churchyard hours, Bat leaves and birds and summer flowers. Mom n it. There is no breathing thing more fair, Xo brighter form and mien Amid admiring multitudes She moves! a sceptered queen; Beneath the spell of her proud glance. Rank, wealth and power bow down, For majesty upon her brow Sits like a regal crown. A thousond hearts in her bright smile Thrill with a music-tone, Like Memnon's lyre when o'er its chords Morn's railiest sunlight shone: And glorious, unspoken thoughts Deep in her blue eyes gleam, Like angel-shapes with folded wings Seen in an Eden dream. And worshippers, with sigh and tear, Are thronging round her now, And madly breathing at her feet Love's wild and burning vow; Ilich over broken hearts she holds Her way tike yonder star, Undimed by love, its tears and sighs Bright, beautiful and fair. A ImnH' AVhnl. A dan.h's what! A dickey and a quiz, A pair of goggles and a negroe's friz? A dainty coat and a tremendous collar, A greasy pocket aud a half a ditilar, A plaited bosom studded thick with glass. A forehead plaited with a coat of brass ; A scarlet nose, a long tone and a squirt, A flashy vest and may be hnlf a shirt; A pompons tone, a reverential bow, A snow-white hsnd, a straddle like a cow: A squeak ing'voice a teacup full of paint, A codfish's eye anil a visage of a saint; A pair of w hiskers stolen from a goat, A pewter watch and seal scarce worth a groat, A pocket comb, a pair of random hoes, A pair of eal-skin slippers blach as sloes, A peal ed hat with scarcely any brim, A spindle shank and body wondrous slim. A pair of cheeks tighter than the skin, A pewter broach and a watch chain made oft in; A servile ape, a pretty woman's tool, A stupid dunce, a despicable fool. The Itia Ilrml.

When the contest was, Texas to be incorporated, and slavery indefinitely extended or not; the whole whig party was against it; the locofocos were for it Polk was for it; the abolitionists leut every energy to defeat the whigs, to injure .Mr. Clay when the votes they cast in a single t-tate, would have elected Clay, kept out Texas, prevented the Mexican war, saved the effusion of noble and patriotic blood, and the country from a thousand evils that have resulted from the wretched war with Mexico, still they pursued the 'one Idea.' The blood, the treasure, the disgrace that has result-d from Texas annexation, Slavery extension, and the Mexican war, and all with the defeat of Henry Clay, the first, proudest, noblest statesman of the world, nil, all may be justly charged upon the abolition party. They elected Polk, they did it knowingly, intentionally, they assisted the democrats in a day of need, and they are endeavoring to do the same thing now; they might with some propriety call upon the locofocos to help them, when they want to make a show out. Bat, with what face can they ask a whig a friend of Clay, to unite with them? Will whigs fraternize and coalesce with the calumniators, the villifiers, the political murderers of Clay? Can any true Whig do it? XotoneJ And should their treacherous arts and specious pretenses mislead any who claimed to be whigs, should any such be found who will suffer the mark of the beast to be put upon them, they may expect to be marked by good and true whigs in future lime. Mark the recreant, we say, should there be auy who are willing to become me pliant toadies cf ubolitionists. Those who claim to be whigs and refuse to sustain the great whig cause iu a national contest, when every thing is at stake, but lend themselves to faction to work mischief and evil to our common cause and common country, deserve to be marked a6 fit objects for retributive justice in future time. e shall be disappointed if any whigs are found soft enough to be caught iu the gull traps of abolitionism and locofocoism united. Their trickery is too well known in this country to deceive any one.

His industry and perseverance were re. warded with success, and after a time, he removed for more lucretive practice to the city of Montreal. Prosperity and good fortune still attended him, and he soon became a delegate and was elected to the Canadian Parliament, where hisphi'.ity and good judgment secured to him a respectible position and influence. While a member of the Parliament, he received a letter, purporting to be written by an old lady in Englaud, also of the name cf K., stating in substance, that she had not a single relative, and was alone in the world; that, seeing his name in the papers, as a member of the Canadian Parliament, and it being the tame as hers, she thought he might be cf the some family. She further stated, that she was possessed of considerable property, and knew of no kindred to w hom to leave it, aud that if he would come to see her she would pay his expenses, and mako him heir to her property. Mr. K. supuosing this to be a hoax, made no answer, and paid no attention to it. Two or three months after, he received another letter trom tlie Same Person. Urmnty in still Ktrnnirr .. . ' terms his visit to her, aud with so much apparent' sincerity and earnestness, that he resolved to go to Lngland and see what truth there was iu it. He did go, and found his correspondent as she had described herself. She was living iuan elegant mansion, in the country, and in handsome style. She was delighted with the visit of Mr. lv., and spared no pains to make it agreeable to him. After spending some time there he prepared to return home. The old lady defrayed all expenses, and made him many presents, and before his departure she renewed to him her promise to leave to him all her property, and related to him the incident which led to the correspondence. he informed him that in early life she was betrothed to a young man of the uame of Taul Holland, who was an officer in the British army. That he had fallen in battle before the consummation of their nuptials, and'that she had since remained unmarried and true to his memory. That seeing his name uniting the name of her lover and her own, she was struck with the singular coincidence, and thought she could not better show her devotion to the memory of her betrothed, than to bestow her property on him who seemed by his name to be the representative of both. He left her and returned to Montreal, and within a year afterwards, received intelligence of her deaih, and that by her will he was made sole heir so her estate. He set out immediately for Fnglan.l, and found 011 his arrival every thing prepared for him. His claim was recogj now, or recently has been, a member of the Canadian I arliament. 1 his is a true sketch of the History of one Vermont boy. Tho regions of fiction and the highest flight of the imagination do not furnish more romanti.- adventure.

Another most memorable pestilence was Drought nuout by the commerce of the Levant io turope, mine middle ol the fourteenth century. In the imperfect narrative of those days of uuiversal distress, the place of its origin and the degree of iU havoc iu the east remain un known. Bat its first mortality in Europe was felt along the borders of the Mediterranean. iromuiose siowiy, out witn irresisuuue progress, and boundless waste of life, it ascended towards Germany, and continued advancing i ..... .... to the north, until it ceased through want of victims. From its first appearance in the Levant to its close, it ravaged Furope for nearly three years. It was calculated to have destroyed a third part of the whole population. In those general devastations London frequently suffered. But the plague of KiCi has made the deepest impression on the national memory. Though scarcely passing beyond the limits of tho capital (then perhaps not a third of its present extent) its mortality was vast and almost exterminating. A large part of the population had fled into the country; yet, from the beginning of June, the deaths exclusively by the plague were calculated at f,f00. A large portion of this mortality mi-lit probably have beeu prevented by dus precaution, nnd the esrlv mplymMit of m-vhi-nl ?--

Do you seek for fame at home, and let your applause be that of your servant.-, your children, your husband, your God. I.vin;. This is one of the earlies-t developments of human depravity. All children are templed to commit Ibis sin and the propensity to it is very strong. Too many parents e!ieoiini"-e their children ia this by their own ex imp -o "they go astray, speaking lies." They deceive their children lie to them to make them obedient, but children at length find out ths deception. The effect upon the character of children is exceedingly pernicious. They lie to their parents to each other to their school fellows to their teaehers. As they grow up, they commit this sin iu tlie streets, on the wharves, behind the counter, in the counting room, when they buy and when they sell. The ti ls perpetrated, iu one form or another, almost every day in the year. We Would not affirm it of even, body but it is so common, so universal, that but little is thought of it. Dr. Pomeroy.
