Ye help the helpless with a cheerful zeal , Ye feel for Want as man should ever feel ; Ye shed the essence of your God around , For Gocl is seen where Charity is found . Fear not to die , for freely clo ye spare Some of the " talents" trusted to your care ;
Well may ye hope to gain the highest flight Toward the portal of celestial light , For if that portal Mercy ' s plume can win , Ye bear the pinions that shall let ye in .

ODD FELLOWS' IiODGES . Although totally unconnected with the brethren known as " Odd Fellows , " we understand that in the work of charity , they are more than emulous of the Masonic Craft . It appears that last year , Vice-Chancellor Bruce , in the case of the exclusion of a member from the " Loyal Highland Laddie Lodge , " declined giving any opinion of the society as a moral instrumentas he could not decide whether the association wasor
, , was not unlawful at common-law , or was rendered criminal , or unlawful by statute . In the House of Lords , LORD BEAUMONT moved , on the 9 th of May last , the second reading of the bill for legalizing " Odd Fellows Societies , " ancl argued that as the associations were purely of a charitable character , they ought to be brought within the provision of the Benefit Societies '
Act . One Lodge , the " Manchester Unity , " consisted of 350 , 000 members , and 4000 lodges were scattered over the country . The MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE , in giving his consent to the second reading , would go no further than was consistent with a desire to see these societies provided with a remedy , which would be found safe and practicable . LORD BEAUMONT , would meet the noble marquis ' s views in committee . The bill was then read a second time . The Odd Fellows Society has made a rapid advance in public opinion ; and this movement has cemented that advance , by the approbation of Parliament .
