the ORPHANS’ FRIEND Wesliicsilay, July 20, 1876. No report from the Asheville Asylum this week. KO OBI.HiATIOaf. If the Lord has done nothing for you, then you ai'e under no obligation to help his creatures. But if the Lord has been good to you, be good, and do good to his needy and suffering poor. It freely you have received, then freely give. THAT ailAHTlSSS. J. A. Harrell has sent twenty- five cents for some poor little girl. We gave the money to a little girl who has no father, no uiothcr, only one little brother to love her, and he is a poor little boy, and intends to help her when he learns his trade. hakd'times. Yes, times are hard upon the Orphans, as well as others. Per haps the Lord is not doing so much foi- you as he did in other days, and He may be trying to divert your attention from your self to ills poor. ye 'lid it unto those Ye have done it unto me.’* The usual conflcting rumors are current at this season in the West concerning the crops. The wheat crop in Minnesota, Wiscon sin and Iowa is reported to have sufiered very severely, whilst other reports represent it as first- rate in sonre portions of those States, and attribute the unfovor- able reports to a concerted plan of the holders of wheat to enable them to unload. The man who lives in vain, lives worse than in vain. He who lives to no purpose, lives to a bad purpose. A. T. Stewart was saving in little tilings. lie always picked up everv pin he saw, especially if it was a bent one which was plac ed in his chair. We feel it a duty to preach to the world ; To travel f«»r Christ in some nation afar, Where darkness and gloom, like a hanner unfurled, Lio fold upon fold in the sin-hurdened air. We go, and witli zeal, to that far distant shore, And labor the whole of the morning away, And think of those dear old places no more. But Oh! at the end, at the end of the day, When the stars shine above with their silvery i-dy, How our hearts turn us back to our homes away! We count it a joy to he found in the yilace Where science disjiciises her bountiful store, To fit us with strength, and with skill for the race That reaches far on tti eternity’s shore, Intent on oiir {nirp so of gathering loro, We study with vim all the moriiiiig away, And think of those dear old places no more. But Oh ! at the end, at the end of the day, When the stars shine above witii their silvery ray, How our hearts turn us back to our homos away! We work the Siime fields in which others have wrought, Wv find the same treasures that others have found: We delve in the realms of abstraction and thought. And gather the treasures which therein abound, And label and lay them all up with our store. We labor with zeal all the morning away, And think of tliose dear old places no more But, Oh ! at the end, at the end of the day. When the stars shine above with their silvery ray, How our hearts turn us back to our bomes away! We read in the records, of things that are pass ed, The motives and actions of nations and men ; And study the future and lights that arc cast From headlands and peaks, in the busy life then, As they stand in relief on that earlier shore. We grow all enthused as we labor away, And think of those dear old places no more. But Oh ! at the end, at the end of the day, When the stars shine above with their silvery ray, How our liearts turn us back to our homes Oh ! bright be the day on memory’s page That led us from home to our fields away j As bright as our youth, may the joys of our age Go on and increase to the end of the day— Point onward and upward, but backward no more. And tlieu, at the end, when our eyes turn away From works to rewards, on that other bright shore— Oh then ! at the end, at the end of the day, j\Iav th« light shine above with a glorious ray, And our souls pass beyond to our homes away! NOW KEADY. The Charters, Seal, Secretary’s Books, Treasurer’s Books, the books of the Constitution and Ritual, TU'epared for subordinate Orphan Aid Societies, are now ready for delivery. Wherever the people think the orphan work can be promoted by such an organi zation, let them send $5 and the books will he promptly furnished; but do not organize such a Soci ety unless it is needed and has the prospect of a successful ca reer. HOW Cim.0KE.f« AltE ABMIT- TE5>. OlED. Webster s.'id “11 we worl upon marble it w.ll perish ; il up on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples they will crum ble in dust: but if we work upon our immortal minds—if vve imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love to our fol low men—we engrave on these tablets, something which will brighten through all eteruitj^.” That every day has its pains and sorrows is universally expe rienced, and almost universally confessed ; but let us not attend only to mournful truths ; if. we look impartially about us, we shall find that every day has like wise its pleasures and its joys. WE TUUnt BACK. TO HOME. Full often we wander from homo amt our frioncls; Forsake all the scenes of our earlier days, And strike a bold cold course for some glori ous end That lies just ahead in the world’s broader ways.' Intent on our purpose, and looking before. We labor the whole of the movuing away, And think of tliose dear old places uo more. But Oh ! at the end, at the end of the_ day, W^heu the stars shine above with their silvery ray, How our hearts turn, us back to our bomes away ! We deem it a pleasure to travel abroad. To view the magniheent wonders ot earth— The wonders of man and the wonders of God, The beauties which sprang at creation’s own birth. Intent on our purpose the world to exphn-e, Wo wander, and wauderthe morning away And think of those dear old places no more. But Oh 1 at the end, at the end of the day, Wheu the stars shine above with their silvery ray. How our hearts turn us back to our homes At the Oxford Orpiian House last Thursday evening at 9 p. m. little Hezekiah Strickland of Dup lin. He had been in declining health for several weeks, though was confined to his bed onh’ a tew days. On Friday afternoon the funeral services were performed by Rev. R. 11. Marsh. He was ullivers illy beloved by teachers and children, and his death a gloom of sadness is cast over the whole household, but we know it is his infinite gain and can say, “He doeth all thingswell.” All his tears are wiped away, His night of sorrow ended ; ^ His a glorious perfect da,', His voice witli angels blended. loaati'Bl>aitioals to tlac Oa-phaal Asy- [aim at Oxford for tlac week eaad- latg Jialy 2Sth 1876.

Very often the S-uporinteudent Inmts up poor and promising or phans and informs them of the advantages offered at the Orphan Houses, and induces them to re turn with him. Generally it is best that he should see them be fore they start. When this is im practicable, a formal application should be made by some friend. Here is one in proper form : Edenton, N. C., ) June 2d, 1876. j This is to certify that Susan N. Uradshaiv is an orphan, without es tate, sound in body and mind, and ten years of age. Her father died in 1873 ; her mother in 1867. I be ing her Aunt, hereby make applica tion for her admission into the Asy lum at Oxford. I also relinquish and convey to the officers of the Asy lum the management and control of the said orphan for four years, in order that she may be trained and educated according to the regulations prescribed by the Grand Lodge oj North Carolina. Martha Scott. Apiproved by John Thompson, W. M. of Unanimity Lodge, No. 7. The application should be sent to the Superintendent and he will either go for the children, or pro vide for their transportation. In no case should a community take up a collection to send a man with the children, nor send the children before the Superintend ent has been consulted. THE EEGISEATEKE AKD THE OKFHANS. Correspondents so often ask what the Legislature has done for the orphans, tiuit we find it neces- sarje to keep a standing answer to the inquiry. The Constitution of North Carolina sa5’s : ‘There shall also, as soon as practicable, be measures devised by the State for the establishment of one or more Orphan Houses, where destitute orphans may be cared for, educated and taught some business or trade.’ Every member of the Legisla ture, before taking bis seat, sol- einnl}' swears, “that he will sup port the Constitution and laws of the United States, and the Consti-'' tutiou of the State of North Caro lina, and will faithfully discharge his duty as a member of the Sen ate, or House of Representatives.” Both political parties have been in power since the present Con stitution was adopted, and the only appropriation made to tiie orphan work was the gift of the crape used at the funeral of Gov- enor Caldwell. 10-tf. Kcsolntiosis of tlie Grand Eodge- will not assume any additional pecuniary responsibility. 3. That this Grand Lodge elect a Superintendent who shall control the institution and solicit contri butions for its support from all classes of our people. 4. That orphan children in the said Asylum shall receive such preparatory training and educa tion as will prepare them for use ful occupations and for the usual business transactions of life. Adopted Dec. 5th 1875 : Resolved, That the Superinten dent of the said Orphan Asylum shall report at each Annual Com munication an account of his offi cial acts, receipts, disbursement, number of [mpils, &o. together with such suggestions as he may see fit to offer. ^''Resolved, That the Master of each subordinate Lodge appoint a Standing Committee upon raising funds for the Orphan Asylum, and require said committee to re port in writing each month, - and that said reports and the funds received be fowarded monthly to the Superintendent of the Asy lum and that the support of tlie Orphan Asylnm be a regular or der of business in each subordi nate Lodge at each communica tion. 4. All churches and benevolent organizations are requested to cooperate with us in the orjiban 'work and to collect and forward contributions through their own proper officers. Here are the res olutions : Resolved, That the sincere thanks of this Grand Lodge are hereby tendered to many benev olent ladies and gentlemen, to the ministers of the gospel, to church es of various denominations, to Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Good Templars* Friends of Tem perance, and other benevolent so cieties, whose heai-ty cooperation and liberal contributions have ren dered timely and valuable assis tance in the great work of ameli orating the condition of the or phan children of the State. Resolved, That all benevolent societies and individuals are here by cordially invited and request- oil to cooperate with us in provi ding funds and supplies for feed ing clothing, and educating indi gent and promising orphan cbil dren, at the Asvlum in Oxford.
