There is One greet truth written on the

and that truth is that this life of ours, with
ail its happiness and its hopes, is i.continued
'struggle. I see it written on the brawny
arms and bronzed theca before me. They
tell of "ceaseless toil and endeavor•, ' of days
and nights 3 :11:- labor and sweat. They pro
claim that the decree which in the begin
ning doomed man to labor its,his,lot, is still
remorselessly enforced. Those, same faces
tell me that man must suffer as well as work.
They bear 'traces of sorrow and disappoint
ment. They tell of hours of anxious solid
tude, or perchance of r putationa clouded, of
health impaired, of ruined fortunes and of
prospects blighted. I venture the assertion
that there is scarcely II heart in this large as
semblage which has not, at sonic time in its
history, been wrung with anguish until it
seemed almost ready to burst: there is scarce
ly a life here which has not Maths night of
clouds; lid thick darkness—lA darkness which
might almost be felt: We hear sounds of
sorrow ud lamentation ail around us; and ,
them there sorrows too sacred for the ear of
the world, •'there ore killing, griefs which
dare not speak." ➢lan must not only liih,or

There is another truth in God's Providence
which it is well to consider hero: that truth
is that there is no ill in life which in reality
does not come to us with its hands full of
blessings. The used undo• of this truth hero ,
is to prove that this very labor and suffering
of life and certainty of dell h is a blessing,
in that it teaches man that he needs help and
sympathy. it forms the great bond of hu
man brotherhood. If it were otherwhe—il
life were not a seeme of toil 1111(1 suffering
there would be not tie which co old be called
common among men—no chord which when
touched would vibrate in one sympathetic
..train from heart to heart no gnat d stage
upon which men 'could meet, and forgetting
minor differences, remern her only that they
were men. Not only man's necessities, but
his inclinations also impel him to seek the
society of others. He feels that without good
con many even the dainties of life lose their
reli-h. We do not like to lie left alone. Sod
ride has few charms for any of us. Alan is
gregari us animal. and companion-hipseems
mhe o oof the Incas of his being. In con
firm:lo,m of these truths, history tells u- dint,

and inclinations, and recognizing this com

And we conid.anily inculcate the lesson
that he who coves a single fel.ow being
from suffering, ruin and death. and starts

of our oitler,,above and beyond all selfish
or mercepary considerations ; and yet, in
this respect, our influence is scarcely visible
to the-world, for the world looks for dollars
and cents in eve, y thing. You must become
as Odd Fellow and take your Wave in din
inner sanctuary, to know and feel what it is.
you can readily see the power of the roiling
river end the seething ()even. and yet the
mist that rises in the morning's sun along
your mountains, to fall again in Lb dews of
night, covering - the earth with verdure and,
tiling it with fruitage, is a greater power
than either of them. It works noislessly
nod ceaselessly, and till nature feels its bene
ficent influence. So this silent, secret, elite
trio influence of Odd Fellowship pervades
ell classes and cond.tions of 111C11. It is pro
gressive, and likewise retroactive, for no
mite is happier or better 11//111 when he is
doing good. The very ell'tirt to ennoble
others is ehnobling in itself, and, like mercy,
"it blesses him. that gives as well as hint that
takes."
There aie some people" who think the
name of our society is singular and inap.
propriate. They desire to k; ow in what
respect we are udder fellows than other fel
lows. To such I reply that the nit is not
ct* our own choice, nor is it of modern coi
nage. It cimies to us wnerable with an-
tiquity and sanctified by the glorious deeds
of benevolence and philanthropy done un
der it. It is a good enough came for us,
and we woold , noechange it if we could. But
a few centuries ago the name of Christian
was a by word and a reproach, and yet what
mithlul follower of the Cross would new
exchange it, with all its holy memories, for
the proudest title given among men. A
Itttau reflection will convince you that our
name may not be so inappropriate after all.
for to be an Odd Fellow in spirit and in
tru li, you must be an honest man,
,and this
requisite, if nut an oddity, is at least a rari
ty in the world. But what is there in a
name? We judge of a man by what he is
and' what he if) cooing • for the mee t and it
Makes' no" differenee Whether - this' • nen' bei

at the Grand Lodge of the Sot e ,
representatives kV re present front need.%
every tote in the Uniop: and this at a time
when churches have been rudely sundered,
f,nilhles hove been broke, up, and the ten
de est ties of earth have been severed by
the war. This would seem to demonstrate
th 11 the cohesive pow -r or Odd Fellowship
is stronger than that of ei her the church
or the family. True-for a while our inter
error e was interrupted, but it was only the
interruption which on island molies in this
corProt of the stream. Toe waters have ol
reorly come 'ogether, and are rol ing nn in
their old majesty and power. As o'd Fel
liVwship did much to soften the rigors of
war so it has done even more to hasten the
day of peace and reconciliation to our yet
„bleeding country, When the crash and
shuck of brittle had died awoy, and' when
America stood before ns pole from the loss
of blood on her hundred crimson field ,
some neutral ground was needed on which
men could stand and hold not the ""and of
fellowship to each other That grounri , was
ruraish, o by 0 d-Fellowship. It was the
first associ..tion wino% had the courage t,,
face the altered condition of affairs. Presi
dent Johnson, in -his letter t the recent
.Baltimo o celebration, slid: 1 .1 rejoice in
the reunion of your order throughout the
United States, as an auspicious presage 0T
restoration of order and. complete . pnlitical
harmony throardMat the Union." May it
noronly prove to be so, hut may our I labors
nut cease til we shall have Inaugurated
that' bless d epoch when men shull "heat
their swords in'o ploughshares and their
spears into pruning hooks, neither shall
they learn war any more." . -
If Odd-Fellowship he such an misociation
as 1 have represented it to be, a solemn re
sponsibitity devolves upon the members of
the order. We must everywhere assert nor
great purpose of human benefaction by deed
as well as by word. If we would convince'
men of the sincerity of our motives, our en
tire lives .must bear wit ides to the trnrli of
our professions. A Oreeinn maid, on being
asked what fortune sha'wodlri. bring •Iter

that there are Odd-Fellows who are no'
what they should be—men who remain ex
clusive and penurous 4midst all its liberal
ity, revengeful and sensual though snrrunn•
d,d by its atmosphere of purity and loving
kindness. There always will be men who
"s'eal the livery of dleav?n to serve the Devil
in." 'that Snell 111141 should ft ;t1 their way
into Odd-Fellowship is no more the fault of
its teachings a d practices than it is the
fault of the church that some professing
Christians as hypoesites. Bnt that there are
such men only makes it more imperative on
the e who are NON] to stand by the faith.
Stand up for humanity. Let the world he
better and not worse because we have lived
in it. I had rather a an were guilty of
posi ive crime than t 'see him goring through
the world, with his har•ls folded bellied his
back, as if there was nothing for him to do.
His station and talents call upon him to be
a to en and not a mouse, to he e hero in the
strife" and not a drone tied a coward. Life
is real; lite is earnest; life is shot' ; and
there is plenty of work for all ofn . •'Brave•

"We can make our lives sublime,

CIRCULATION OF NATION AL NOTES.—TI;
A r liShiligtoll Citron cle, of a late date, says :
It is frequently alleged that the issue of

not been the case, but their Issue hats caused,
the State bank notes to be retired to such an
extent, that on the Ist inst.•the whole hank
note currency of the country—State and Na ,

amount of State Bank notes in circulation
on the Ist of January, 1863. From the time
that the national currency system went into
operation in 1868 ) the State Bank note cir
