ODD FELLOWSHIP: An address delivered before Wyalusing Lodge, No. 503, 1.0. of 0.F., Saturday evening, Dec. 11, 1869. Published by request. N.G., Brothers and Sir•ters: In speaking to Odd Fellows, I can but speak of Odd Fellowship. I ad.' mire the institution ; 'I believe in its precepts, rejoice in its practice; glory in its success' yet am but an unwor thy worshiper at the shrine of Odd Fellowship. . In discussing Odd Fellowship, in its relations to humanity, I must first give a brief analysis of this animal that we call man, and when I Barman I mean woman also. . • Man, in his composition, bears some comparison to the steam engine. Both have a physicalerganiiii and a motive power. The locomotive, with its massive wheel , its polished cy li nder, its pis ton, its pipes, its ponderous boiler and huge furnace, is a superstructure of inert matter, and is as incapable of motion as the rocks imbedded in our everlasting hills. But put water into its boiler, fire into its furnace, and it becomes a thing of life and power. And why? You have en dowed it with physical elements of a higher nature ; you have given it a higher power. Man, also, has - a physical caper structure and• a' motive power. And here comes in another simile. The motive power of each is the all im portant part of their composition. And still another: the motive power of both is the unseen part of their composition. Steam is as invisible as the human mind. Steam proper is as transpar ent as the air we breathe, and only becomes visible when in contact with air and changed to vapor. And it 'seems to be the rule, that those ele ments in nature that are the farthest removed from our senses, or our com prehension, hold the more important offices in the economy of the universe. Inert matter, or solid earth, conies directly within ,the range of our senses. We can see it, feel it, mea sure it, and weigh it; yet it is but the loundation,‘the site on which is rear ed the orpnin superstriictures of the world. - And is not-the city of more importance than the location? Aid as we ascend the scale, and view the city, the first step from the solids is the liquids: - . We fiffilthera ceptible bf motion. The water me enders-along our beautiful "streams; like a thing of life, on their inclined beds to the, °ern. They rise in ira per, encom pass our earth in clouds; ',descend in' ram, and perform an lin- I portant part in the: building tip of earth's productions , . - And as we take another step, and contemplate the fluids, we find them less comprehensible and more impor tent. "I%e wind bloweth *here it : listeth, than hearest them:mind there- , 1 of ; but canst not tell' iirlieruxiiteem - -` etb, or whither it goeth." The air encircles our earth, find` is I constantly supplying from- her inex haustible storehouse the material for earth's great machine -shop. • We are dependent on this ehmient forlife•in every breath-we (haw. And as we goon, and enter there. gion of the muses, we find them hold ing offices still higher. Indeed; they seem to have! &Mind of. all.below! them. They imake common , carriers, 'or pack-horses of earth, air and wa ter, to.convey them, and their intim: ences, to any and every _place where their presence is needed. And if -we gonn beyond' ther, andint:recited ourselves to light, and caloric, e find ourselves in - company strange hosts—ten neither toFt vrt,igil edormeasared,-im v. 101 litsc —and yet, ain't vii;itia.

For I was spialdng of the human mind in Com parison witttftheAttoun had:followed the simile as tar, as there is any similitude. For steam Swims act as almit on its machin ery, whit; fidinothe ptiwers ~df Huai are• divisible, and correspond in num ber, to.all the various faculties of the human mindl , any one of ;which can : command the action of the physical organism, unless counteracted by an ' other power in the same mind. To illustrate thii point, 1 that in your life experience you have often found your acquisilivenen hold ing fast to the, pi:metal:rine, while your benevolence would fain give alms to the needy. And this contwidic , tion, this discord in our natures, is an anomaly that cannot be found again in all animate matter. We find no other animals engaged in moitatcombakto-day, and to-mor row visiting their ni lased ana fallen foes, administering to their wants, trying too alleviate their sufferings, and expressimg sympathy and sorrow for their situation. This is the block on which many a student of man: has tloluidered..- :and fallen. The only solution of' this question is, man is an embryo, and yet to be developed. Beside these numerous minor di- visions of mind, man has two grand divisions of mental power. These are his moral,• or man na ture, and his animal nature ; these are the source of _conflict, and when ever two or.more of these faculties of mind come into collision, those giv ing the strongest, -the most intense feelings will control the action.. And It isjust as natural as _. it is for the weathervane to turn with the wind, or the heavier weight to raise the lighter one. Mental power is men tal feeling.. Man has also the faculties of vind that the lower animals possess, and their natural influence or tendency is the-same in one as the other. Above these, man possesses other powers of mind that the lower animals do.not, which distinguish him from them, and constitute him man. These are the reasoning and moral faculties. We possess the power to trace cause to effect, and effects to their cause. This •is reasoning by induction, and we call the faculty causality. We also have the power of com parison,-by which we compare this thing with that thing, this event with i:- that- event, and draw an inference, which. is reasoning by analogy. Our moral • faculties, are benevo-` lence,.consciousness, ideality, spirit nalityr or veneration. But among these benevolence towers abovethem all,—her only object is the good of her fellow beings ; she hai3 no regard for self, and can only be called into exercise by the needs, the wants, the stdferings of other beings'.; her only objeCt is,their prat:thew happine:w This .is an element of the DiVine mind, bestowed on us, His sentient beings, and constitutes those golden chains of sympathy that bind noi-all together, and all to Thin. This is the lending faculty in the minds of angels, for they .are continually on. messages of love and mercy. And if we would have the enjoyments of an :gels, we must live the lives of angels. These higher :faculties of our na ture, that distinguish us from the brute Creation and constitute us hu man, are the sources of all human ex cellence, the foundation of all good among men. You may call them the religions or the moral faculties ; they are one and the same "thing. The rose by any other name smells just as sweet. They produce good—they were bestowed upon us by. our Crea tor for good—they are of Divine ori-' . This -.-. This brings us all on a natural equality • we - have -all one Father ; we are all ushered into being by the same humble process.; we are all sustained through life by, the same natural laws ] and - the' to mb is the - coil:upon leveler of all. - Now if there are any that still doubt the natural and inherent _good ness of man, I would' ask inieli, - Do yon not respect and admire good ness? Now if you 'answer, •" I do, but I believe some of my neighbor's are 'so depraved, so wicked, that, in [ stead ofadmiring ' they , detest and hate all iiicidnese:".

Why this phe nomena?. Action, - and the want of action. This law holds good with every faculty of the hunian organism = physical or mental. We know that if we exercise our organ of tune,-we increase our musical powers.. If we .exercise our organ of Ideality, in the decoration of our persons, or our houses, in beautifying our grounds, in the cultivation of flowers, or what ever is beautifitl in nature or in art; we become more and more enamor ed with the love of the beautiful. If we exercise our reasoning powers, we become better reasonera. If- we ex ercise our moral faculties, we become better men—better women—better citizens—better Odd Fellows. - To cultivate these higher qualities of, our natures', by action and exero ciao, by precept and practice, is the true province of Odd Fellowship. And who that attends our lodges, participating. in our precepts and practices, but must' be improved Our opening charge by the N.G. is a conception of the highest morals. Our beautiful odes are all emanations from the same source. Our initia tory ceremonie." (Rebekah included) are not only beautiful, but sublimely moral. • And our degrees I The strength in unity .of sentiment, the close, constant and abiding friend ship that endures through good and evil report, the inculcations of chas tity and sobriety, the impOrtance of truth and candor among <men the disinterested benevolence that Leks the good of others, all breathe forth sentiments' that are worthy the con ception of angels. And last, though not least, the distribution of our funds to the needy, our donations of kind services in the hours of sickness and bereavement, all tend to culti 'ate, strengthen and build up „the good within us. Odd .Fellowship seeks the elevation of human character on these natural principles. And with its beautiful moral emblems (that constitute its unwritten language), its precepts and its practice, combines within itself one of those grand moral engines that are carrying man onward and upward to the goal of his highest-aa-: piratiou&-: Brothers - and'iiiseere Y HO* import ; tent and ennob li ng is our work!

A word upon' Uniim Sun* Schools. , With due difference to our active county Sun day School Worker, ' Rev. Air. Crit tenden, I must beg lief to say, that the sb called Union Sunday Schools are-failures; that is in • making the Sunday School a permanent institu tion. As far as I knqw, in this sec tion of the country, there is not S. single Union Sunday :School, alive and . working during these winter Sabbaths. However; 'there, may be some, but RS'a general thing they live but four months in the year.' . Since we have different Aenomiia- lions, and no doubt,always will hive, I believe in denominational Sun lay Schools. Not, however, for the pur pose of teaching a denominational dogma. F'or, I believe there is but one doctrine which should be`ear lastly insisted upon in the Sunday, School, viz, Salvation through' thit blood of Christ—in this we all agree. Then they have denominational schools? Simply for this reason, that there may me a head, or a denomi nation that feels responsible for the SchooL What is 'everybody's business is nobodys business, is just as true in regard to Sunday Schools as any thing else. Now I believe that the foresent plan might be improved, viz, when a Sunday School is organized the first question should be, what Denomina tion will take the school and become responsible for its success? Then whether it be Congregational, Bap tist, Presbyterian or Methodist, let thorn work it according to their own plans, not four months in • the year, but from year to year. Religion is the same, hence we need not talk union to unite chris tians. Their, are a unit, though they differ in opinion upon minor points, - - These being our honest oonvio. tions, then think it not atilt' nge.tbat we have two Sunday Schools in Mon roeton.

NORTH TOWANDA Frurim Arson) : I have been not a little interested in reading the local columns of the lispourra;, and have been looking, for some time, to see our little. town represented; but alas ! I have looked in vain. Perhaps, Mr. Editor, you have began to conclude, since the borough has taken such a big - slice . from ns, that there is not enough left worth a representation in your local; and "consequently we have got to " stay out in the " .eold all alone by ourselves. But allow me, Mr. Editor, to correct some of' the above false, notions, if indeed such are entertained. We have yet left over a hundred voters, the- majority of whom aide. good - Republicans. We have agood grist-mill, two saw-milli and a shingle-machine, -two good• blacksmith-shops and • smithies to match. These are all very important local items that ought to be known ; and also that there is a glove and mitten factory, where are made to or der all kinds of gloves and mittens from the "real" genuine buckskin. I am pleased to learn that our friend, and neighbor, W. A. Sluyter, after meeting with the mielortune of break ing his leg,. has gone into the above business. I had like to fdrgot to say that North Towanda has three go od schools in a flourishing condition, and t also a singing school, which promises to beta success. ' • Yours truly, • . NERO.

He was poor, without connections.— Still he atudied,living in great pover ty, but keeping a cheerful heart, and trying to look at the future _which looked so grim at 'him. His good humor and excellent qualitiei made him hawed by 'his comrades. One day he was standing on the square frith some of them, prattling away an hour of leisure, when the attention of the young man became arrested by a 7onfig and elegent lady, who, by the sidtt j hf an older one, was slowly walking over the place. It was' the daligliUr of the Governor of. Upsala, living in the city, and the. lady was her governess. She was generally known for her goodness and gentle ness of character; and looked at with admirathm by Ail . the- students. As the young man stood gazing at horse she passed on like 'a graceful vision, one of them suddenly exclaimecl.— " Well, it would be worth something to have a kiss from such a mouth : The poor student, the hero. of 'onr; story, who looked on that pure, angel ic face; exclaimed, as if by inspiration, " Welt, I think I could have it." "Well!" . cried his friends chorus, "axe you .crazy? Do 1 yon know her ? " "Not at all;" he answered- "liwat I think she would kiss xrie if I asked her." . . " What, in this, place, before all our eyes? " r " Yes!' Freely ? 7, Tee, " Well, if she would give yowa kiss in t h at manner I will give you a thoumnd dollars! " exclaimed one of the - party. - • " nd I," " and I," exclaimed three or four others, for it happened that several rich men Were in the group; and The bets ran high - on so improba ble an event., . ~ The chal l eng e trig made, and re ceived-in less time than are take to tell it • . Our hem (our authority tells not whether he 'was plain or handsome— I have niy peenhar reasons for believ ing that he was rather plain, but eingnlarly good looking at the same time) immediately walked hp to the yolnig lady and said, " iteine fraulein, my fortune is'now in your hands." She looked at him with astonish ment, but arrested her steps.. He proceeded to state his name and con dition, his, aspirations, and related simply what had just now passed be tween him and his comrades. The-young lady l4tened attentively, and at his ce_as ing to speak she said, blushingly, but with great sweetness, "If by so little a thing so much can be effected it would be:foolish for me to refuse your request ;" and publicly in the open aqitare, 'she kissed hiui. Next day the student - was sent for by the Governor. He wanted to see the man who dared to seek a kiss from his daughter in that way, and whom she consented to kiss. He received 10m with a scrutinizing look, but aftelan'hour's conversation was, so pleased with him that ha or dered hun to dine at-his table during his studies in Upside. Our young friend pursued r his ( studies in such a manner that it s oon made him regluded as the , nost prom ising student in the University. Three years were now passed si ce the first kiss, when this young MAD was allowed to give a second kiss to the daughter of the Governor as his wife. • He became, later, one of the most noted scholars in Sweden, and was much respected for his character.— His works will endure 'while time lasts among the " works of science and from this happy union !prang - a family whose wealth and high posi tion in society 'are regarded as trifles in comparison with its goodness and love.—Happy Hours. .
