Pilot II Mi AND HisTi.ua: It ha hi en deemed fitting that woman should speak on the great, grand and far-reaching benefits that result from tho uilliience of Od Fellowship upon tho family, Thii seem especially appropriate since by experimentation in daily life, she is qnalitiod to give rational nd tin controvertible testimony concern ing it. As tho brain is tho centra! organ of tho body, and receives im pressiors, cither of pleasure or ain from every part, so woman is tho central figure in the household, to whom are transmitted all the im prcaaioni mado upon its individual inernlH'M, whether for weal or woe, This duty hat Ix cn assigned to inc and I shall endeavor to perform it to tho bt of my ability Language ia powerless to describe the extent of the Inlltieneo our Order exerts uiam its members and indirectly, upon others with whom they come in contact. As it take all men to know all truth, so it wil require the aggregated experience of all Odd Fellows' families, and to each one of tho family of every Odd fellow, (who lias an adequate con ception of tho nature and principles of tho Order), to furnish anything like a comprehensive summary ol its influence for good in tho bound aries of homo life. The evidonco to bo conclusive, must bo obtainei from those who aro undur tho influ enco of its teachings, directly or in directly. Every man who has a family do pendent npon him, feels not only the responsibility of supplying their immediate wants, but of providing for their future. He realizes fully the possible dangers that lurk alout lum, and lie contemplates them with anxiety and dread. The wife abates in this feeling. Py dint of strict economy and deprivation, they suc ceed in laying aside a little money for that indefinite period ot timo known is "a rainy day." The first accident or iiiinforttino that befalls them, not only necessitates the ex penditureof theirsav ngs, but leaves them burdened with obligations that will require months to liqm date. Discouraging prospect ! but it goes to prove that man is always at a disadvantage when, single handed and alone, he strives to tight the batt.o of life. We need tho aid and sympathy of our fellow creatures, and they, in turn, need ours. Realizing this, ho becomes a member of the Inde pendent Order of Odd Fellows. As ie takes upon himself tho obliga tions of the Order, "to visit the sick, relieve tho distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan," he recognizes the fact, that all tho members are bound by the same compact and, instead of apprehen sion and dread, a feeling of happi ness pervades bis mind and gives him comfort and peaco. Round to gether ly tho silken ties of friend ship, love and truth, ho feels that wherever he may go, brothers will be near to cheer and assist him in distress and minister to his needs This affords consolation to the wife, and thu., much anxiety is averted and happiness and harmony pro moted. lhe material aid furnished a brother in t me of adversity, is very gratifying olten essential to the well being ot a family ; but it is not to bo compared to the kindly spoken words of sympathy and brotherly interest, manifested in the perma nent prosperity and comfort of an afflicted household. They feel that they have friends and brothers who are interested in them, and who are using every available means to alle viate their condition. They regard Odd Fellows as benefactors and hail their approach with delight. To have eyes that were dimmed with tears grow bright at our coming, lips to forget their grief and become wreathed in smiles, to receive the confiding trust and sincere friend ship of ihoso whom we have been in some way able to assist and re lieve; ti is is worth living for. Greater than tho influence of brotherly care and interest, previ ously referred to, and which is so cheering to the atllicted, is that per manent benefit, accruing to the in dividual members of our Order, which nag a corresponding influ ence on the family, by which they ate developed to a point where they can checrltilly extend their fraternal love and sympathy to a brother and his fail: ly, whom they have the power to aid and bless. The teachings of Odd Fellowship tend to iibeiulize the mind, broaden the liver, deepen the springs of ac tion and give ns atleaier concep tion of our duty to ourselves, to our follow creatures, to our conntry and to cur God; for the fundamental lesion oi" the Order is the universal brotherhood of man. Associated together tor a common purpose, pledging to each other undying friendship, fiaU-rual love and invio late tru'h; there is promoted a spirit of charity and t deration. Widely as our i pinions may ditler on van oui siibjecU, we rect gnue the rights ot others to differ from ns, and jet believe them to be conscientious. This tolerant view of individn 1 rights extends to the family. The husband, who is an Odd Fellow, no longer deieanda that hi lte' opinior shall m the echo of Lit own. Ilia speech and actions are alway kind, temperate and thooght- Ilighest of all to Leavening LLr Ire An&omTmw pore ful. His decisions on all questions considerate and just. He comes to regprd her as vested with rights equal with himself, and he Im comes less dominant in tho family; not only recognizing her as the mistress thereof, but at all times be will be her voluntary assistant. This con dition of freedom and equality in the household ia productive of greater happiness than could other wise bo enjoyed, insures future moral and iotolloctnal growth, and guarantees that all will be benefitted who come within its influonco. This change in tho attitude of a man toward his family is due to tho teachings of Odd Fellowship. Un selfishness Is one of the virtues all tro urged to attain, and is essential in the practico ot its principles. Imbued with tho spirit of fraternal love, and unselfishness a predomin ate trait of our character, it will Ihj easy and natural lor us to mako sacrifices for tho happiness or bene fit of others. 1 bis is tho ethics of Odd Fellowship, to bo but in prac tico in our daily lives. It is the summary of the various codes of moral philosophy, and has been taught for centuries by the most proficient thinkers of every age. The prine'plo of our Ordor is one divine in oiigin, universal in appli cation and elevating to all who em brace it. (XNTINl Krt NKXT WELK. p - A Cloie Shave. Down on the Ashevillo & Spar tanburg Railroad there is, for a few miles, a stretch ot mountain road as steep, as wild and as grand as any thing that the Switzerland of America holds out to the tourist. The particular part of the line re ferred to is that commonly termed the Saluda mountain, where the descent from tho hills of North Carolina towards tho plains of South Carolina is so rapid as to make the timid passenger hopo for a quick, and yet not too speedy, trip. The trusty engineer, no matter how many times this run lias been mado by bim, keeps closer watch upon the huge machine under him and grasps with firmer hand the lever that con trols tho air brakes. For in de scending this unusual grado the slightest mistako might bring dis astrous results to crew and passen gers ; onco beyond control of the :iand of theengincman there would bo a wild race down the mountain, to end at tho bottom ol somo gorge or when the train reached the level, if it should be so lucky as to stick tg the rails. It was on this short section of road an incident occurred recently that would havo made t:io passjt:- gers catch their breath had they known it. A pasocngcr train was descending the mountain at the ordinary speed. At a point where the mountain's aide makes an almost sheer descent for hundreds of feet before tho track is reached, a huge og, being cut for the mill, became dislodged and began a flying, liound- mg, crashing trip down the monn tain. The slow moving passenger train was in its path and it seemed certain that it would be struck. But when near the track tho log ran against an obstruction, turned end wise aud darted nnder tho baggage car between the rear and forward trucks, and tearing off and taking with it the box under the car (called "the 'possum belly" ty railroad men) kept on its way down the mountain. The train was not interfered with, here was no perceptible shock, and as yet there are only a few who are aware of the occurrence of the inci dent. Ashevillo Citizen.
