r the ORPHANS’ FRIEND WcUncsdsiy) Aui;^iist £6) 1§76. COMiTIJKiVD THCIK EXALPt-E. Messrs. Gr. W. Pittard, G. W. Watkins, and H. F. Winston, 'Committee of Adoniram Lodge, No. 149, have been making col lections of provisions in their own and other neighborhoods for the orphans. We commend their ex ample, not only to Lodge Uom- niitt'ees, hut to ali persons who are friends of the orj)lian enter prise. To theta we owe a debt ■of gratitude for otir support for a few months past. A little extra ■effort on the part of any person who has the work at lieart may, ;bv gathering a little here and a little there, seon have a valuable ■collection. -A word to tlie wise is sufficient. The farmer’s land of Goshen was a land of plenty. At our Crphan House, in Oxford, the summer has been exceedingly dr3', and vegetables were burned bodily up. The ground was not really wet for three months, and our bill of fare was a very short ■one. Rut Mr. McFarland came down from the land of Goshen, wliere there had been an abun dance of rain, and where all kinds ol vegetables were luxuriant. He saw our need, and after his re turn, with the help of his neigh- bers, loaded our two-horse wagon with that which so often takes the place of bread and meat. Who else will serve us so I There are at present 94 or phans at Oxford, 38 at Asheville, and 10 at Mars Hill. The Matron, Mrs. Robards, left last week for a visit to her old home and friends in Catawba. Ma}^ she have a pleasant time and .soon return to her arduous task, for which, she possesses amateur qualifications. IlALEioii, N. C., August i2tli, 1870. Mr, J. Jl.

The Stiite of New York has now near ly 1,000 cheese manufactories, which use tlie milk of more than 250,000 cows, making- therefrom 80,000,000 pounds of cheese, which is 1,000 pounds for everj^ three cows. The cheese produc tion of the whole United States is now over 250,000,000 pounds, of which 86,500,000 are exported. England scarcely exports 25,000,- OOQ pounds, while little Holland, which used to be the principal cheese producing country of the world, exports at present 60,000,- 000 pounds The receipts of the American Board of Commissioners of For eign Missions for the first ten months of the current year have been $348,000, leaving $171,000 to be raised in tw-o months. An appeal is made by the secretaries for increased oontrbutions.—N. Y. Witness. Within five years 4,600 out of 6,000 square miles of Palestine have been surveyed by British surveyors; nearly 4,000 lieights liave been measured ; the position of three-foi'ths of the Biblical towns have been set at rest; and the true sites of the cave of Ab- dullam, and the ford of baptism of the Jordan, have been ascer tained.

The Golden Rule finds the fol- lo\ving among the numerous float ing legends of the groat Daniel that make up the hero-worship pers’ Websteriana : The stream that Daniel Webster loved was famous for trout, and he was famous for catching them. Often he would sit for hours on a moss-covered stone in a retired nook, his line dangling in and above the w-ater, but never a bite, and if there had been, the fish was safe, for he was entirolv' unconscious of all around and about him. One warm and sul try^ morning in July, while thus ab.sorbed, he was aroused by hearing over the stream : ‘Hullo, there! Hullo, I say! How are ye I Nice morning this ! Got any fish ? Have any bites f How d’ye get over there ? I’ve been fishing two hours ; nary bite. I see you have long- boots on. What’ll you take to carry^ me over ? Don’t want to get my teet wet. I'll pay you well; what’ll you take Here he paused long enough for Mr. Webster, who had all this time been surveying the speaker (a slight-built, dandified youth) to ask,— “What will you give ?” “Well, a quarter; that’s ’nough, aiiit it V’ “Well, yes, I suppose it is.” So, quietly lay-iiig down his rod, he took his way to our Bos ton boy, Joe D., who, by the way, was as good a fellow as ev er sold tape. He vvas now on a three day's’ furlough, and bound to crown all tlie fishing, sea-bath ing and sight-seeing seasons into the allotted three days’ time, and one was rapidly passing away. Mr. Webster seated himself on the bank, Joe mounted his shoul ders, and, like Caesar, whom Cas sius from the raging Tiber bore, so Joe upon the godlike shoiildors safely crossed the stream. The quarler quickly' changed hands. -Mr. Webster quietly settled into his accustomed seat, while Joe, on further ])leasiire bent, hasten ed up the stream. Tired and hungry he returned rather late for dinner, and passed into the dining room, where the guests were engaged in the last act of the drama. Onr Bostonian, however, fell to with an appetite sharpened by his morning exer cise, and with a full determina tion to make up with speed wliat he had lost in time. So intent upon his own affairs was he that he took no notice of those around the table, until some one reques ted Mr. 'Webster to relate his morning adventures. Joe looked up, and following with his own the direction of all other ey'es, he beheld liis morning Hlneas. Turning to his nearest neigh bor, he asked, “Who is that ?” “That! why', that’s Daniel Webster.” He found no further use for his knife and fork, and was silently leaving the table, when Mr. Web ster recognized him with a look or nod (Joe could not tell which.) He detained him in conversa tion a moment, and, with a look of earnest entreaty, begged Mr. Webster not to relate the circum stances which occured in the morning. Mr. Webster replied, “You should not be ashamed of the ad venture, since there is no y'oung man in the country', however lof ty his aspirations, that will be likely to attain the position y'ou this morning occupied.”—Youth’s Comjoanion, Eoiiti’ibisiions to the Oi-piian Asy- liiaa^a at Oxford for the week end ing: Aagu$>t t5th 1S70.
