Mr. MilU—'i'>ear I have always taken an interest in the Asylum. I have tried to earn some money for it. I hayo at last siuiceeded in earning- 50 cents for it which I enclose to you for th^ orpliaus, and I am sorry it is not more. My father spent several days at the Asylum last year and on his rctnrn to lialeigh told us all about the oiT)hans, and how hard it was to feed and tdothe them and yom- efforts to organize Orphan Aid Societies. His (lescrii>tion of the orphan work inter ested me so much that I tried to get up one, but I am sorry to say I did not succeed. Father also tried, but he failed. I think we ought to have many societies in Italeigh. Don’t you think so t Can’t you induce oiir people to form these societies. God bless you Mr. Mills. God bless the Orphans. God bless the masons and all who help the orphans, is the prayer of Kellie Rice. A great change lias taken place in this oflice. All nonsense has played out.”—Berea Gazette. Auieii ! ‘HOW TO SEND MONEY. 1. The Banks are very kind and do not charge the orphans for accommodations. Checks are, therefore, most desirable. 2. Post Office orders cost veiy little and ai'e very convenient. 3. When checks and Post Of fice orders are not in roach, let ters should be registered. 4. When you enclo.se a check, an order, or money, tell the names lit the contributors. If from a church, or Sunday Scliool, give the name, denomination, and Post Office. If from a Lodge or Societ)-, give the name, number and Post Office. Do not sav from “our church,” or “ our Lodge.” 5.

Then fill it with something which will not spoil on the w’av’, and which will be ivorth more tlian the cost of transportation. 2. Never put in the same box articles wdiicli will spoil eachother. Home-made soap isalways needed here ; but it should not be put in a box w'itli sugar. 3. Do not put in any candy, pi-ize boxes or fire crackers, or powdoi. 4. Before nailing on the top, put in a list of the contents with names of the contributors. 5. Mark on the box ; Orphan Asylum, Oxford, N. C. 6. If convenient, pay the Freight; but, w'hether you pay the freight or not, in sending b}’ rail-road or steamer, mail the cleik’s receipt that we mav know wliere to find the box, if lost. 7. 'Watch in tljo OjtPiiAx.s’ Friend for the rejiort on ever) box and help us correct aiiy error you may discover.

The children are assembled in the chapel every evening from 7 to 8 o’clock; and on Sunday afternoon from 3 to 4 oYlock. Visitors coming at other lionrs may see the children and hear tliem recite in their respective Form rooms. Spelling Matches every Friday evening at 7 o’ clock’ A great family name cannot be raised without a foundation of courage, enterprize, perseverance and common sense. Still we know that the soundest masonry in the world was wasted to build pyramids,—dark and dreary tombs whose uttermost treasure was a few bones and a little dust. High families have not necessarily grown towards God. Those who built Babel did not get nearer to heaven, but only farther from each other. There are some very stately staircases whereon angels never tiead NOTICE. 20 00 25 (K) 500 00 U. S. IXTEKKAL REVENUE SPECIAL TAXES MAY 1, 1877, TO APRIL 30, 1878. The Revised Statutes of the U.

From all the hard judgements of self-coniplaicent heneficence:— Good Loi'd deliver ns ! THE EEGISEATERE AND THE OKPMANS. Correspondents so often ask what the Legislature has done for the orjihans, that we find it neees sar\’ to keep a standing answer to the inquiry. The Constitution of Nortli Carolina says : ‘There shall also, as soon as practicable, be measures devised b)’ the State for the establishment of one or more Orphan Houses, where destitute orphans may he cai-ed for, educated and taught some business or trade.’ Every member of the Legisla ture, before taking his seat, sol emnly swears, “that he will sup port the Constitution and laws of the United States, and the Consti tution of tlie 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 aiipropriation made to the orphan work was the gift of the crape used at the funeral of Gov- enor Caldwell. 10-tf.
