I have sent in my document and to-night am to be initiated.'Airs. Jenks opened her handsome eyes in amazement, and for a moment was lost in wonder.‘And so you are actually going to be initiated?’‘Yes my dear.’‘Well, will you tell me all about it whenyou come home?’‘Perhaps so.’Comlorted with this assurance the lady offered no further opposition, and our hero took his departure.

I work hard in my store every day. But women who an educatedan occasional volley of small arms the midst of the tumult, I heard a low, sweet, sweet voice, chaunting a hymn of peace. ‘Man shall love his fellow,’ aang the angel—‘Cruel war shall be waged no more—peace shall reign—slavery shall perish—industry shall meet his reward— charity fill the hearts of men. , When this happy singer had ceaeed, a loud cry for cheap postage rent the air.’‘How very odd.’‘Yes; but just like those Odd Fellows, they are real reformers,’ replied our friend. .‘Well, my dear?’Why then, lights were procured, and I signed the constitution.’‘Well, what of the cat of which you were speaking?’O! nothing, my dear, only they let her out, and fora minute or two ahe appeared quite bewildered. It was the first time I had ever seen the cat let out of the bag. But what struck me with the greatest awe, was the appearance of the patriarch of the lost trioes and his double-jointed bashaw, who in a loud voice, continually aaid—‘Life is abort—prepare for that which is to come. Let all men have charity, and love their neighbors as themselves whereupon the grand patriarch armed with the tail end of his great grandfather's authority, arose and impressively adjourned the meeting ’Well, I declare,’ejaculated Mrs. Jenks, ‘and this is joining the Odd Fellows?’‘Yea, but remember to keep all I have told you a profound secret,’ said Jenks, with a half smothered chuckle, as he buried his head in the bed clothes to keep from laughing outright.In a precious little stoneWhat splendor meets the eyes! lit a little lump of sugarII u much of j.weemess lies! .So in a little womanLove grows hihI mn.tiplies;\ uu ri collert the provcib says,••A word unto the wise.erathrlt;bav miri thn wa: tn ei a hi into six i oun the dam city by c not whit ken.AwithriflecairiincitservNdonecertiwithA pepper co n is very small,And seasons every dinner More than all other condiments, Although ’tis sprinkled thinner: lust so a little unman is,If love will let you win her— There’s not a joy in all (lie world Vou cannot find within her.Then for .cnts, provision, fuel, clothing, mid all etceteras for my own familylisten il you love me sacrifice I am about to make is great; and you must seal your lips forever on this subject.'Well my denr,’ said the lady with amiist not put their hands to house hold !‘^n heard of the cat beingemployment; that is all the task wc as , .. . ..sign to our females.

The leader of the Squatters (for whose liberation from prison the first forcible demonstration was made) is Mr. James McClatchy formerly of this city, and well known among our earlier Land Reformers.
