The Banks are very kind and do not charge the orphans for accommodations. Checks are, therefore, most desirable. 2. Post Office orders cost very little and are very convenient. 3. When checks and Post Of fice orders are not in reach, let ters should be registered. 4. When you enclose a check, an order, or money, tell the names of the contributors. If from a church, or Sunday School, give the name, denomination, and Post Office. If from a Lodge or Society, give the name, number and Post Office. Do not say from “ our cliurcli,” or “ our Lodge.” 5. If tlie Orph.vns’ Friexd fail to repoi't tlie arrival of a letter, be sure to write again. 6. Direct vour letters to OIIPIUN ASYLUM, 4-tf Oxford, N. C. HOW TO SE!V» A BOX. 1. Be sure tlie box is strong. Tiien fill it witli sometliing wliicli will not spoil on the way, and which will be worth more than the cost of transportation. 2. Never put in the same box articles which will spoil eachother. Home-made soap is always needed here ; but it should not be put in a box with sugai’. 3. Do not put in any candy, prize boxes or fire crackers, or powder. 4. Before nailing on the top, put in a list of tlie contents with names of the contributors. 5. Mark on tiie box : Orplian Asylum, Oxford, N. C. 6. If convenient, pay the freiglit; but, whetlier you pay tiie freight or not, in sending by rail-road or steamer, mail tlie clerk’s receipt that we may know where to find the box, if lost. 7. Watoli in tlie Orfiians’ Friend for tlie report on every box and lielp us correct any error you maj" discover. now TO SE.\D A BAU. 1. AVe will furnisli bags at any time for valuable contributions. 2. Let tlie bags be strong and put in tlieiii sncli articles as will not be injured b\' rongli liaiidlirig, or by boxes piled upon tliem. 3. With the clerk’s receipt for tiie bag, mail a list of contents and the naiiies of tlie contributors. 4. Markon the bag: Orplian Asyl nni, Oxford. N. C. 5. If tlie Orphans’ Friend fail to report tlie arrival of the bag, in a reasonable time, send a letter of inquiry. G. If you wish the bags re turned, say so in your letter. TO VISITOIIS. Tlis cliildren are assembled in the chapel every evening from 7 to 8 o’clock; and on Sunday afternoon from 3 to 4 o’clock. Visitors coining at other hours may see the cliildren and hear tliem recite in tlieir respective Form rooms. Spelling Matclies every Friday evening at 7 o’ clock' The sack of fionr and side of leather credited in last weeks issue were eoiitributed by Oaks Lodge No. 255. How easy it would be to attaeli a tag to articles sent that we miglit give credit to whom credit was due. England is very naturally proud of tlie title given her queen in India. Tlie fact that tlie little kingdom of the Britisli I.sles is mistress of the gigan tic one of India is a . tine illustration of the triumpli of mind over matter. The well-known “ Old Hun dred” was first published in Geneva in 1543, in the French Psalter. The author, Guillanme Franc, is little known in the musical world, yet we are indebted to him for some of our sweetest melodies. At exactly 7.35 o’clock, Wash ington meantime, simultaneons weather observations are taken from 106 sta tions in tlie United States, and from tbe deck of every United States Xaval vessel no matter in what part of the world she may be. STOKY OF A PKIACELY BOY. Charles X, of France, when a child, was one day playing in an apartment of the palace; while a peasant of Auvergne was busily emplo3’-ed in scrubbing the floor. The latter, encouraged by the gayety and playfulness of the young Count, entered familiarh' into conversation witli him, and to aiinise him, told him a num ber of diverting stories aud anecdotes of the province. Tlie prince, with all the ingenuous ness of cliildhood, expressed his commiseration for tlie narrator’s evident povert}', and for tlie labor which he was obliged to undergo in order to obtain a scanty livelihood. “Ah!” said tlie man, “my poor wife and five cliildren often go supperless to bed.” ‘Well, then,’ replied the nrince, with tears in ids eyes, “you must let me manage for you. M\’ governor every month gives me some pocket mone}', for wliioli I have no occasion, since I want for nothing. You sluJl take tliis money and give it to jmur wife and cliildren; but be sure not to mention a word of of tlie matter to a living soul, or you will be finely' scolded.” On leaving tlie apartment, tlie lionest dependent acquainted the govenor of tlie young Prince witli the conversation that had taken place. The latter, after praising the servant liighly for liis scrupulous integrity, de.sired liim to accept the money, and keep tlie affair a profound secret, adding that lie .sliould have no cause to repent of ids discretion. At the end of tlie niontli, the Count d’Artois received ids allow ance as usual, and watching tlie moment wlien lie was unobserved, hastily slipped the whole sum in to the hands of the protegd. On the same evening acldld’.s lotery' was propo.sed for the amusement of the young princes h\' tlie govenor, wlio had purposely distributed among the jirizes such objects as were most likelj’ to tempt a boy of the Count’.s age. Each of his broiliers ea gerly liazarded ids little store ; but the Count d’Artois kept a- loof from his favorite amuse ment. The governor, feigning aston- ishment, at last demanded tlie reason for his unusual prudence ; still no answer came from tlie Count. One of tlie princes, his brother, next testified his surprise, and at length pressed tlie }'oung Count so hard tliat in a moment of cliil- disli impatience he exclaimed : “Tlds may be very well for. you ; but what would you do if, like me, you liad a wife and five children to support?” Contributions to the Orphan Asy lum at Oxford for the week end ing February d^tli, 1877.

THE EEGISEATEUE AXB THE OKPIIAX!^. Correspondents so often ask wliat the Legislature lias done for the orpliatis, tliat yve find it neces sary to keep a standing answer to the inquiry. Tlie Constitution of North Carolina saj’s : ‘Tliere shall also, as soon as practicable, be measures devised by the State for the establisliment of one or more Orplian Houses, vvliere destitute orphans may be cared for, educated and taught some business or trade.’ Every member of tlie Legisla ture, before taking ids seat, sol emnly syvears, “that he will sup port the Constitution and layvs of tlie United States, and the Consti tution of tlie State of Nortli Caro lina, and will faitlifullv discliarge ids duty as a member of the Sen ate, or House of Representatives.” Both political parties liave been in poyver since the present Con stitution yvas adopted, and tlie only appropriation made to tiie orplian work yvas tlie gift of tlie crape used at tlie funeral of Gov enor Caldyvell. 10-tf.
