We do not, indeed, claim for our Order that it is a substitute for religion, or that it will stand you in the Jast bour of life in the stead of God's appointed way, but we claim that besides being an institution of benevolence, ministering to the temporal wants and infirmities of men. it has other influences tending to make them better in all their relations to each other, and inspiring them with sentiments of gratitude and love to the Father of them all. “* The thirty-nine years’ history of this order exbibits an infant association s: ugg ling into vir orous life, against powerfal o ition and strong Prejudices. The thunders of the press and the alpit, of the religionist and the patriot, have n hurled against it. Malevolence, vitupera- tion slander, and ridicule have opened the sluies of their noisome poison on it; yet, agai all these, weak in number, enfeebled in its treasur: ' humble in its pretension and in the social pest tion of its founders, it kept on ‘in the even tenor of it« way,’ and, like gold tried seven times in the fire, it came forth purer and better and stronger. By its own good works it gave answer to its ene. mies; its unostentatious charities drew toward it more favorabie eyes; and anon its living prin- Pa any of friendship, love, and truth, won the ad- miration of good men everywhere. "It has lived 3 it has acted a refutation to the accusations made against it, and the frown of the world has been withdrawn ; the clond of rejudice and bigotry which overcast it has been dispelled by the gental influence of the light of truth, and its own bright claraeter of love and charity shines resplendent fiom its loved and loving face. From a little handful assembled in an cbseure corner, behold its thousands and tens of thousands throughout the country, and its temples hoiding forth its sig- nificant symbols to God's sunsbine in every city, and on every hiil-top, and in every valley of the land. From the Canadas our brother halis his brother from the Gulf of Mexico; through the golden gates of Catifornia glad tidings come ; and Oregon, our new sister, stretches forth her arms to the old thirteen, aud they greet each other in es of the Rocky Monataies, Lo! the simple story of our Order is its best eulo: yy, and inthe jearts tt has gladdened, and the smiles that have replaced the tearful eye, are the proudest monu- ments of its glory.”? * * * € [Mr. Young then proceeded to iliustrate the benign influences of Odd Feliowship, to which alone is ascribabte its success in winning friends and members, aud gaining the approval and blessings of the fairer portion of cieation. He urged bis hearers to the necessity of complying with the principles of the Order, that it may ap- year in its true character before the world, aud ¢ invited scrutiny the most rizid and discrimi- nating. The social qualities of mankind, and the necessities of companionahip with which we are all imbued, were next alluded to, in a style at o earnest and beautifu pd well calenlated to win for the orator the praise of having studied well bis theme, and acquired power ove which enabled Lim to diaplay, in most charming atti- tades, its happiest features] He said: “* Secluded devotion to theoretical purity, how- ever honest and earnest, and the severest practice of merely formal religious duties, under what- ever iniluences, are not the purposes of our crea- tion.

PuBtte Scnoors.—We continue to.day our notices of the annual examinations, which have thus far been peculiarly gratifying tothe Trus- tees, as well as to all friends of education : In the Second District Primary, No.3, in charge of Miss Kate McCarty, was examined by FS Walsh, of the Broad of Trustees. This school went into operation in January last, and Las been receiving occassional accessions up to the piesent period. Many of the children nt have been under the charge of the teacher but a few weeks. and but littieevidence therefore could beexpectd of the competency and energy of the teacher. With all these disadvatages, Miss McCarty has succeeded in reducing her charge to a state of order and discipline seldom expected under moie favorable circumstances. The classes in orthog- raphy, reading. writing, and geographp, were good, and fully met the expectation of the exam- iner. Tne classes in arithmetic were prompt and correct in their replies, and herschool, asa whole, will doubtless compare weil with any of the same grade to succeed her. Number of pupils in the hall, 5s ; number Present atexamination, 50. The examination of Primary No. 3, Second Dis- trict, Miss Randoly h, teacher, was conducted by Mr. Wilson, teacher ot the male department of the Second District school. The examination was thorough, and proved the pupils proficient in all the branches taught; especiaily so in read- ing, writing and orthography. Indeed, they ac- ultted themselves to the entire satisfaction of the examiners. The exercises were enlivened by vocal music, which was adimirably executed con- sidering the extreme youth of the children. The school is weil-disciplined, the school hou-e ligbt, airy and comfortable. The examination was, however, much ioterfered with by a num- ber cf nnraly boys, not belonying to the school, who crowded the doors and windows. Tue Orzxa.—Notwithstanding tue numerous other attractions last night, the theatre was well filled bya fashionable and attentive audience Bellini’s La Sonnambula, a favorite opera here, Was exceedingly well represented by the com- pauy ; and the sweet tones of Miss Miluer’s voice electrified all who were so luc ky as to hear her as “Amina,” the orphan somaambulist. Gailmette gathered fresh laurels as Count Rodolpho. Mr. Frazer personated Elvino very creditably, and Holman, ax Allessio, kept the audience in flue humor by his personation of the jealous lover of Liza (Mrs. Holman.) Teresa was creditably done by Mrs. Rosenthal. The chorusses needed more rehearsal, but performed in a very effectual imanner, and with more practice will do keners fe Mr. Cooper directed the performance very ably and successfully. ‘The Troupe is gaining favor rapidly, as is evi- dent by the nightly increase in the audience, and their success is well merited. To-night we have tne Bohemian Girl for the last time. and on Friday an operatic Matinee. Next Sunday even- ing Haydn’s great oratorio of the Creation will be Poiormed with an augmented chorus. Will not Mr. Cooper give us Fra Diavolo du- ring the season? This question is put to us by hundreds who heard Mr. Guilmette in it during the engagement of the Pyne & Harrison Troupe at the National ‘Theatr year ago. “ONE OF INE OUTKaGES WE READ oF .-—We published a few days ayo. an acconnt of a young lady being stopped on Louisiana avenue, by a dressed man, who took her porte-monnaie, and finding it only contained 10 cents, gave it back with the remark that she was not worth robbing.
