I'VE know not when we have witne ssed

Der Of the Order Of Odd Fellows, after a
long and weary illness, the last few months
OF which had given promise of recovery,
was summoned by mysterious Providence
10 her home in the better land The fond
husband, deceived by the faitery OF hope
into the belief that a few days would so far
complete her restoration as 10 enable her
soon to join him under the charge of a
friend, had yielded TO the imperious neces-
silies Of business, and departed for the
north. Oh, how like stunning thunder
stroke must be the intelligence OF his disap-
pointed expectations upon his heart! She
died-but the tears of warmly attached
friends believed her ber---but she died in
the land OF the stranger and far away from
the home Of her childhood and the fond
circle Of family kindred. OF kindred, did

hearts felt her demise as brothers. be-
reavement, and as The melancholy hearse
went its way TO mortality's resting place,
it was followed by long line Of sorrowing
ones TO whom she was a sister. We ARE
not member Of the Order-bm we could
not witness this scene without being deeply
impressed with the value Of The Order, the
excellence Of Its principles, the practical
good of its operations. To visit and
minister to the sick, pay the last Offices Of
humanity to the dead, are Of themselves
alone objects Of the noblest nature, and
might well command for the Order the re-
spect Of mankind. But when 10 those are
added the alienation il offers TO the sor-
rows and dstresses Of the brereaved and
broken hearted, il may well challenge a
sentiment of reverence.
