Our Order—once a little band— In weakness, and in fear, Besought the guidance of thy hand: Its thorny path to cheer. The few—through thy preserving care — Are now a mighty host: And thou, who heard'st our feeble prayer, Shalt be our constant boast. 4. Oft mid despondency and tears. Our foot Imw £<y Mo - But thou, through long, eventful years, Hast safely lea us on. 5.

Address by District Deputy Grand Master, C. N. Hickok. [This was one of the finest efforts that we have ever heard the Doctor make, though we have frequently heard him before. The Doc tor has made the subject a study, and he han dles it with such skill that he has but few, if any equals. The man who can listen to one of his orations and go away without having his prejudices against Odd fellowship soften ed. must have a heart of flint. Mey his life i e spared for many years, and may we have the pleasure of hearing him at least once a year.] Prayer, by P. G., A. J. Middleton. HTMX.— Air, Harwell. 1.

Riches come of thee, and honor: Power and might to thee belong; Thine it is to make us prosper, Only thine to make us strong. Lord our God, for these, thy bounties, Hymns of gratitude we raise: To thy Name, for ever glorious, Ever we address our praise. DOXOLOOY. — Air, Old Hundred. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

INTERNAL REVENUE DECISIONS. — As a mat ter of interest we give the following decisions on questions-of daily business transactions condensed from'the rulings of [the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue : IVho shall affix Stamps to lastrummts of Writing t —The law does not designate which of the parties to an instrument of writing shall furnish the necessary stamps, nordoesthe gov ernment assume to determine that it shall be supplied by one party rather than another. — The affixing of a stamp may be the subject of agreement between the parties thereto: but if an instrument subject to stamp duty is issued without having the necessary stamps affixed thereto, it cannot be recorded, or admitted or used as evidence in any court, until a legal stamp has been affixed, and the person who thus issues it is liable to a penalty, if he omit the stamps with the intent to evade the pro provisions of the law. Executors and Administrators. —The offi cial bonds of Executors, Administrators and Guardians, are subject to a stamp tax of one dollar each. Receipts taken by Administra tors, Executors, Guardians, Trustees, Ac., to be used as vouchers in the settlement of their accounts, are subject to the same stamps as other receipts. Receipts of Attorney. —No stamp is re quired upon the receipt of an Attorney for a note or other claim left with him for collec tion. tual "consideration of value," and not the mere nominal consideration, determines the amount of stamp tax upon a conveyance oi realty sold. Marriage Certificates. —A marriage certifi cate issued by the officiating clergyman or magistrate, to be returned to any officer of a State, County, Town. Ac.. to constitute part of a public record, requires no stamp: but if it is to be retained by the parties, a five cent stamped must be affixed. Landlord and Tenant.—A notice from a landlord to his tenant to quit possession of premises, requires no stamp. According to a recent revenue decision a bond to convey real estate requires stamps to the amount of twenty-live cents. A mortgage given to secure a surety from* loss, or given for. any purpose whatever, other tiian as se curity for the payment of a definite and cer tain sum of money, is taxable only as an agreement or contract. Upon every assign ment or tiansfer of a mortgage, a stamp tax is required equal to that imposed upon a mort gage for the amount remaining unpaid; this tax is required upon every such transfer in writing, whether there is a sale of the mort gage or not; but no stamp is necessary upon the endorsement of a negotiable instrument, even though the legal effect of such endorse ment, is to transfer a mortgage by which the instrument is secured. The official bonds of administrators, executors, and guardians, are subject to a stamp tax of $1 each, as bonds fr the due execution or performance of the duties of an office. Receipts taken by ad ministrators, executors, guardians, trustees, Ac., to be used as vouchers upon the settle merit of their accounts, are subject to the same stamp taxes as other receipts. Parti tion deeds between tenants in common need not be stamped as conveyances, inasmuch as there is no case of realty, but merely a mark ing out, or a defining of the boundaries of the part belonging to each; but where money Or otLcr vo.lvAo.LL© ooncirlomlinn ic pftirl liy one co-tenant to another for equality of par tition, there is a sale to the extent of such consideration, and the conveyance by the party receiving it should be stamped accor dingly.—Exchange.

THE HISTORY OF THE SECRET SERVICE DUR- I sc. THE REBELLION. —Br General L. C. Baker, late Provost Marshal and Chief De tective of the War Department. Philadel phia: P. Garrett & Co. 702 Chestnut Street. The name of Lafayette C. Baker became a household word during the late war, a terror to the traitorous enemies of the Union, ami a talisman of safety, and security to the loyal and true. From the inception of the Rebel lion until the days wnen Rebel rule was re established in Washington under the patron age and protection of Andrew Johnson, Gen eral Baker was tn active, efficient, and-useful servant to the country. What he saw and did during the eventful five years of the war, forms the sterling and engrossing themes of this remarkable book. From the nature of the service in which the General was constantly engaged, his deeds and methods of action were but vaguely hin ted at in the chronicles ol the day. But now that the necessity for secrecy no longer exists General Baker deems it fit and proper that his countrymen should learn the full details ol lii g career, and they are to be found in this the most romantic volume which the war has produced. The author has made a clean breast of it; there is "nothing extenuated, nor aught set down in malice." That these reve lations will cause a great fluttering in the high official circles at Washington there is no douDt; more strange things have transpired in the National Capital since the surrender of Lee, and General Baker has full knowledge of them all, —and the present publication will no doubt produce a rich crop of Congressional Investigating Committees. The details of the conspiracy which culmi nated in the assassination of the lamented Lincoln, are here for the first time fblly di- vulged; the great crime is traced from its in ception until the guilty conspirators dangled between heaven and earth. During the time of actual war General Baker saw much service, all of it of a myste rious, novel and highly interesting character. The manner in which he circumvented the disloyal schemes of contraband traitors, who despite military lines, furnished the Rebels with necessary supplies, is fully explained; the determination to extirpate this nefarious traffic gave rise to many exciting and startling adventures, which read like legends of the feudal ages, but are literally true. The ro mance of the war has not yet been written, but General Baker's work gives us the real and vivid pictures of the hitherto unknown phases in the great struggle tor National unity. The work is printed from new and beautiful type, on stout white paper, hand somely and substantially bound in black cloth is embellished with a fine sfte! portrait of General Baker, and sixteen well executed wood cuts, representing scenes of interest; among the rest is a view of the burial place of J. Wilkes Booth. Sold only by subscription by the Publishers authorized agents. THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW. —ApriI. The American public owes a debt of grati tude to Messrs. Ticknor 4 Fields for this elegaut quarterly. The English quarterlies are indispensable to any otic who wishes to be informed in regard to current English literature: But with all their stateiiness and with a full knowledge of their intrinsic value, it is with pleasure that we turn from them to taKO up fire . URN; .IIMLIUH ... ........ ... always find more of the fire and vigor of our own newer life, with neither less learning nor less chaste correct and elegant English. A large portion of the present number is devoted to the discussion of important industrial and financial questions. The chief-literary arti cles are a review of the Modern Italian Poets," and an article on Longfellow by Howells, "Leasing" by James Russell Lowell, Charles Lamb and his Biographers,, "Relig ious Liberty and "Deaf Mute Education." In "The New Jersey monopolies" is presented a remarkable exhibition of the frauds and in trigues by which a powerful moneyed com bination have succeeded in cheating not only the stockholders oi the Jersey railroads but the state itself and the public large. "The Railroad System" discusses pertinently the [ development and tendency of railroad building and rai'road management and states facts and principles in railroad administration which have an importent bearing upon the railroad contest now going on in Pennsylvania. It says; "Railroads cannot and must not be regar ded simply, or even principally, as the pro perty of individuals, —as an investment of so much capital which in its invested form be longs exclusively to the owners, and should be made to return to them the highest possible remuneration. In the early days of the sys tem, before its immense importance was reali zed, such a vww might have been excusable, however shortsighted. It certainly prevailed to a very great degree, and led to the grant ing of many foolish charters, and to much future embarrassment. It is a view of the matter, however, which is no longer tolerable. It is only after many limitations and restric tions that railroads can be said to be private corporations at all. In common with banks, they hold relations to the community different from other corporations; for they possess many extraordinary powers, which in law are sometimes called prerogative franchises, and which partake of the quality of sovereignty, for "both currency and internal communica tion between different portions of a state are exclusively the prerogatives of sovereignty. Even more than banks they have a debt to tul lil to the community, as well ae to their stock- UotJcrs: they receive greater privileges, for which they are bound, in return, to a heavlo. consideration.

This medicine, invented by Dr. J. 11. Schenck of Philadelphia, is intended to dissolve tho food and make it into chyme, the first process of diges tion. By cleansing the stomach with Schenck's Mandrake Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appe tite, and food that could pot be eaten before using it will be easily digested Consumption cannot be cured by Behenck's Pulmonic Syrnp unless the stomach and liver is made healthy and the appetite restored, hence the Tonic and Pills are required in nearly every case of consumption. A half dozen bottles of the SEAWEED TONIC and three or fonr boxes of the MANDRAKE PILLS will cure any ordinary case of dyspepsia. Dr.-Schcnck makes professional yi-its in New Y'erk, Boston, and at his principal -office in Phila delphia every week. See daily papers of each place, or his pamphlet on consumption for his days for visitation. Sold by all Druggirts aud Dealers' prico 81.30 per bottle, or $7.50 the half dozen.

Thousands die, as it were, inch by inch, of bodi- j ly weakness: for debility will kill as certainly, I though not so quickly, as a raging fever. Is it asked how the weak shall be made etfong; the debilitated sustained and restored; the exhausted refilled with vital energy? We aver that of all invigorating preparations given by science to man, from the institution of tho art of healing to the present hour, not one has wrought such wonders in the way of restoration as JIOSTETTER'S CEL EBRATED STOMACH BITTEKS. This is in deed the touic of tonics. As a revitalising, strength-supporting, life-prolonging agent, the like of it is not to be found in the catalogue of medicines. Among the various articles used to arouse the dormant powers of nature, it stands alone—the great awnkener of tht paralysed phys ique. It not only awakens the physical powers from a state of collapse and inaa tion, but it im parts permanent vigor to the muscular and ner vous systems—reinforcing, as it wero, both the stronghold and the outworks of vitality. The aged, the decrepid, the nervous, the broken down of both sexes, are recommended to try it. They will assuredly find it a present help in time of trouble. April 1:1 m.
