And jrraasea green. and young.

Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crow away.

The present seems to be en age of
improvement, entrrprise, and invention.
Philanthropy, humanity, and b: nevolence,
which are naturally implanted in the
heart oi man, eeetn to have been the prime
moving cause of the Older of the Sous
f Temperance. : Which order, "in its
principles, features and policy, isperftct
ly adapted to the genius of oar free insti
tuttoni, and so franked as to receive and
metit the approbation and cordial support
( the good and virtuous in every part of
this great republic; whilst from its beauti
ful simplicity, its exalted aims, and its
spirit of philanthropy, ia deserving the
attention of the popular mind of everv
nation and clime, j and it deal it ltd, we
fondly hope, to a apraad as universal as
that of the blighting curie oHntfrnpfi-
acre.

esss of our cause depended on the efTorta

means of temperance societiee, and the

their power.
But a dark cloud hrooded over it. Hu

and the! spirit of opposition wh raging
in a high degree, w lien a few noble spirits
conceiTcd the plan of our beloved Order.
Its benevolent tierign waa cherished by
the good and the yiriuois; and toon a
cry came up from the east and from the
.t from the north and. the south for

our number was multiplied 'till Sjubordi

ympathies which bind man to his feilo
man, to iiis family and hia friends; proa
t rating and rendering torpid ihoae lively
sensibilitiea which enable him to parfici
pate in the joy s of those around him. ,
The moral aspect of our community-is
not what it should be; and it remains fur
the Sons oV Temperance toeorrect, at
least, the great moral eril of ia temper
ance. y
Were rit notfor the baneful efleets of
alchohol, parents would not be weeping
over drunken children, wivea over drunk
en husband, "huybamls over drunken
wivea and angels over a drunken world.
. Be not dismayed brethren when ao
doleful a picture. is delineated. There ia
a foul atain upon our national character
that must be removed.
Come boldly to the work like good
soldiers, fighting till you have demolish
ed the battlements of the tyrant and
brought his subjects out into the light of
true liberty, j "
We hare much to encourage us. Our
Order is progreasing rapidly on to th
consummation of its great aim, the re
demption of man from the slavery of in
temperance. It is eneoiling in its ranks
men from every class of aocietv. and
from every profession, who meet togeth
er as brothers and co workers in this
great Work of redemption.
It is becoming, national question, and
is looked upon as sfftcting tha vital in
teresta of the Union.
The great and jruod man of the natioi.:
those high in authority are giving it their
countenance, and enrolling their names
among its supporters.
Ex-Preaident Polk was a worthy mem
ber of the Order till hia death.
John Q. Adams, whether a member of
this Order or n't, 1 cannot say, was a
t
firm champion in the cause of temper
ance. It is very evident that the most learn
ed, refined and best portion of the Atneri
can people are in favor of our cause.
Andia long aa we act upon the princi
ples of temperance, love, purity, and
fidelity, we shall have the approving
smiles not only of aach men but of. the
Great Patriarch above.
Ler'ua not suppose then that our or
ganization is perfected, or that our object
is accomplished. -
Our cause is one of the great pmgres
ive steps of the day a vaat moral stride
to the amelioration of human evils and t-.
the protection and advancement of human
happiness. y
If we become negligent, the cause will
reUograde. Let ua then be faithful in
this work. Let us remember that our
cause is progressive in its character. That
we must advance to accomplish our aim.
And in order to advance its interests we
mutt develope the great internal re
sources of the Order.
To the eye of the philoaophic Son of
Tempetauce,, aay. one, ..our Order is
yet in its incipieucy." Then he goes on
to make the following beautiful and strik
ing comparison, saying; "it is true," that,
I he Order -has a head, body and extre
mities; but that; it wantsmore hands and
fingers whcrewilh it may take hold of th
entire community and gather up all ages,
sexes and condition.- into the great tem
perance fold.
The time u ill come when it will be
the policy of the Order to embrace and
move all oT societyi in - order the more
victoriously to grapple with intemper
ance in each, strong hold nand to antici-

The present it the . time ; for the Son of
Temperanceto -exerciae bitinfloence

NowJthe time my brothere forjou to
introduce your friends and acquaintance
into. this great and growing order rising
up in our land; to say to them, we are
ready to take yotrby the hand and lead
you in pleasant places will you go w itli
u or will you reject out friendly call and
drink from the intoxicating:bowl the bit
ter dregs of disappointment, misery and
woe; consigning your body to a drunk
ards doom. '
There is anawful day of reckoning
coming not only to. the intemperate man,
but to us if we neglect to use those meana
of doing good which are within our
reach.
v. .
I have no doubt but you all desire to
seethe time when temperance shall be
universal, and the whole nation present
that happy aspect which our Order is
calculated to produce.
Brothersthe woik is before vou. Will
you suffer the cause to languish, misery
and degradation to multiply, your prisons
and poor houses to be filled with victims
whose support must arise from your
mm m-m- ! 1
taxes! a his is a question worthy your
candid consideration. Is it not worthy
the consideration olthose who are at
the head of the government, and hold in
their handa the destiny of the nation!
la it not desirable that intoxicating
drink ahould be removed Irom our Nin
and Army, and from all our public work
throughout the land?
If aw how is it to be accomplished?
I know of no other way than by a
change of public opinion on the subject,
brought about by the moral, religious
and temperate purtiou of the. people.
And aurely the Sons of Temperance
hold in their handa a lever by which they
may exert a mighty power for the good
of the nation.
Guided by prudence and zal, what
good may there not be occompiished by
the united efforts of the Order.
Its power and influence are daily multi
plying, and its already extended borders
are widening to embrace in. its folds thr
whole human race.
It has already crossed the borders of
the States, and raised its warning voice
in the British Provinces of the Canada,
New-Brunswick and Nova Scotia; and it
I mistake not the National Division foes
appointed D. M. W. Patriarch's for the
Kingdoms of Great Britain, City of Home
in Italy, Prince Edwards Island, Mexico
and Chippewa Indians. Thus you ate
that our principles know no boundry, our
field of labor is the world, and the harvest
we contemplate gathering is the whole
human race. ' .
What an interesting picture would it
be, to contemplate' the Sons evelh of our
own Republic laboring harmoniously un
der the principles of the Older, and enjoy
ing all the benefits that it is calculated to
produce. How many wive?, and whole
families would rise up and bless the day

About eight months since eight indi
viduals having applied for a charter met
in the Odd Fellows Hall aiid instituted
lhe Pasquotank Division No. 21.
At that time many were predicting ita
speedy downfall. But nearly one year
has rolled over our heads and we are still
permitted to meet iu peace and harmony
and to greet one another in Love, Purify
and Fidelity. 'And whatever passing
cloud may at any time have ahaded yonr
minds, it is hoped that like its shadow, no
trace is If It on vour hearts.'
And 1-ani happy to congratulate you
to night, on the prosperity of the Order,
and hope that in the hands of its officers
it may continue to flourish and grow till
the whole community shall be brought
under its influence and not a drunkard
remaiu to be saved. I trust that there is
no member of this division who will ever
give its opposers the. opportunity of
branding him With the name of apos-ate.

A young lady of Indiana, of whose pro

two portraits painted by Mis Laura M.
Brown, of this city, which manifest an
unusual degree of talent on the part of
the artist. Miss Brown is from Akron,
Ohio, and is a pupil of the distinguished
western artist, John Frankenstein, of Cin

intention to engage in the business of,
portrait and landscape painting this win
ter, if our citizes will extend to hex a rea

That they will do this, their well-known
liberality in raatters.of art and science is

herself, but also upon those who are so
