[Published by Request ] COME TQ THE LODGE. Nothing contributes so much to clog the wheels of our Order as indifference on the part of its members, and that Ledge whose membership is mainly made up of the class of indifferent ones, though possessed of a largo sinking fund, is poor indeed. There is a Lodge that 1 wet of, with a membership of one hundred and twenty five brothers ; it also has a sinking fund of five thousand dol lars, yet the average attendance of the mem bers at the regular weekly meetings is but fifteen. Bow discouraging is the lot of these few faithful ones, who, through evil report and good report, stand steadily , at their posts, ready and willing to discharge every duty devolving upon them, as consist eut Odd Fellows But where are the hund red and ten who profess, yet practice not ? Who do they suppose visits the sick, re lieves the distressed, buries the dead and educates the orphan ? Who attends to the Lodge business, initiates the new members, confers the degrees, looks after the fibances and the thousand and one things necessary to the health and existence of the Lodge ? Oh if these idlers in the vineyard would but come up to the work, how changed would be the aspect of thingS in this one Lodge ? Suppose the:snipe course were pursued in matters pertaining to every day life as is practiced towards our Order by two-thirds of its members. What would be the result? Is it to be wondered at that Odd Fellowship languishes, when those who have it under their charge fail to give it their time and at tention ? No organizatioe can flourish with out the active co-operatiop of those who com pose its numerical strength, and this truism is peculiarly applicable to oar Order Oue, of these stay-away-fcrm-l i odge-meev iog Odd Fellows remarked a few days since, when called i.ipon for the payment of arrear ages, "I don't think I'll pay any thing more ; I believe I shall let the thing slide; I have lost - my interest in it.' This man was oree an active working Odd Fellow, bqt by acoa• tinned habit of absenting himself from the Lodge-room, and a consequent want of thought for the Order, confesses that he bits lost his interest in an institution whose end and aim is to.administer to the wants of suf fering humapity.

WIIAT CQNSTITUTES ITEM —Dr. Nor man 'Macleod is accredited, in one of our es• changes, will) the following: Let the fairest star be selected, like a beauteous island in the vast and shoreless sea of the azure heavens, as the future home of criminals from ttre - earth, and let them _possess whatever_ they_ most love, and all that it is possible for God to bestow ; let them be endowed with undying bodies,. and with minds which shall ever retain their intel lectual powers ; let no Saviour ever press his claims upon them, no Ghd reveal himself to them, no Sabbath ever dawn upon them, no saint ever live among them, no prayer ever be beard within their borders , but let socie ty exist there forever, smitten only by the le- prosy of hatred to God, and with utter sel fighness as its all pervading and eternal pur pose—then, he sure as the law of righteous ness exists, on which rests the throne of God and the government of the universe, a so ciety so constituted must work out for itself a hell of solitary and bitter suffering, to which there is no limit except the capacity of a finite nature I Alas ! the spirit that 18 without love to its 'Gud 'dr its neighbor, is already possessed by a power which must at last creole for its own self torment 'a worm that will never die, and a fire that can never be quenched !

I directed her never to dry it by the fire, but in the sun and open air if the wea ther permitted.

Relieving that if she saw her practice as others saw it, she would do. sist, he so directed their afternoon walk as to bring the nursery window in' full view froth a central part of the town.

That great circle cutting the continents, mountains, ocean and islands of the world asunder. now threw its steep plane between us arid the thousand .objects which-rnemory clings with dice , . tion and pride. • The sunset clouds on which we bad gazed, the towering crags where morn first broke, and the brilliant constellations which our faith had almost peopled With the spirits of the pure and good, gone before, all went down with dying pomp, over the dim lrori son. •We were in another hemisphere. What'now to us Niagara's thunder, or the murmur of the Mississippi , ? Even the po lar star that had poured its steady light for ages on the ruins of pyramids, the wrecks of temples, and the• graves of empires, had left its watch tower in darkness—all were ost in the shoreless ocean of night. . Old , Neptune formerly saluted every ship that crossed the line. Let me tell you how be did it. lie appeared -in the shape of some tall study old tar, who dressed himself up unseen by any who never crossed the line before, in ox-hide mail, with a long, • beard cf yarn falling far below his chin. and looks of the same fowing in drenched ringlets down • • to-alders. Ilia trident-vvas-a-Ituge h. poen, his pipe the coil hose of a fire engine; taus accoutred he hailed the ship over the bows and mounting a gun carriage, was drawn aft to the quarter-deck. Here he •sumwoned the greeu•horns to his presence and after lathering from a tub of grease and tar, shaved - them - with a ship's - scraper. /lav ing thus introduced the novice he returned in triumph to his watery realm. This cere mony was found such an infraction of dis cipline that -it has been discontinued on board our national ships. Shortly after crossing the equator we had the satisfaction of seeing a water-spout-- something new to most of us. It rose tint more than a thousand yards, from our vessel, and towered through several strata Tof clouds, preserving through each its eolum not form, till its summit was lost in the sky. We attempted to near it sufficiently to bring it within range of one of our cannon, but it seemed to elude our approach as the rainbow the flying footsteps of childhood Its apparent nearness was undoubtedly one of 'those opticaldelusions so common to the phenomena of' the sea. The wonders of the deep belong to their maker. Man may sur vey them es a worshiper, but When be at• tempts to appropriate hem they fly his profane grasp, disarm him with their terror; or overpower him with their magnificence.

Once a month each sailor is requtred to exhibit his clothing to the officer wbo has charge Of the division to which he belongs.
