PATHOS AND BATHOS.
(Modeled upon an approved pattern,)
It stands in the oorner, alone and forlorn,
The old parlor sofa so threadbare and
worn.
The chintz that bedecks it might cause
the mathete
To shudder and flee with a yell to the
street,
For there are arranged, on a background
of green,
Enormous ahrysantbelnums ultramarine,
But ever by me atoll be fondly adored
The old parlor sofa when grandfather
snared.

But sit not upon it whatever you do,

Its springs may be bruken, uncertain its
legs,
But mourning affection affectingly begs
A tribute of tears, each as grief may

For the old parlor sofa where grandfather
snored.
How often, recumbent, he lingered there
long,
(His lege being weak, though bis language
was strong,)
Aye, oall me unmanly and weak if you
will I
I oling to the sofa devotedly still,
And many a jugfal of tears have I shed
On the antimacassar that covers its bead.
(And haven't you ever encountered be-

A ballad like this one of grandfather's
snore ?)
TIM GAIN OF GIVING.
"He that flndeth hie life shall lose ft,"

And Fleenor seamed to listen, though her
thoughts were far away ;
In a week it would bo a variation, and she
longed for the time to three
That would take her away from the city
to her beautiful seaside home.

They had none for the child who heard

But the sermon at lest was ended, and
the preacher slowly said !
"Our contributions 11118 morning will be

IFlearor's heart beat faster, her face wore
a troubled look
As her hand closed softly over her little
pookeb•hoolt,
Where she carried a birthday present, a
bright new piece of gold,
And tate look of trouble deepened while
her hand took a firmer hold.
"I0011'1 give this," elm was thinking,
"though it's all I have to give,
And I wish the ohildren all meld go to a
pleasant place to live."
Bub eke saw, with a little trembling ebb,
that the basket wag on its way,
And when it passed her tlio gold piece in

ODD FELLOWS' GRAND LODGE.
Belleville, Aug. 11.—The Rebekah As.
sembly held a session last night and
another this morning which just about
concluded their work. This evening the
officers were installed and Aberdeen
Lodge, of Deseronto, exemplified the Re.
bekah Degree.
The I. 0. 0. F. Grand Lodge repro.
sentatives and the local brethren, headed
by canton of Belleville and the I. 0. 0. F.
silver bend, paraded the principal streets
to the Opera House, where the Grand
Lodge proceedings were held, Mayor J. A.
Johnston, on behalf of the city, and W.
13. Northrup, M. A., on behalf of the
local lodges, presented addresses to the
grand lodge, to which suitable replies
were made by Grand Master White.
BRAND MASTER'S REMIT.
Grand Master Henry White delivered
his annual report, complimenting the
order upon the success of the year's
work, and recounting the iuoidonts at.
tending his official visite. "Although.
the year jest closed has not been in any
sense a record year," 81r. White said,
"71 le with a sense of psouliar eatisfao.
tion that I am able to report a oontinued
advanos in our numbers and usefulness.
"Financially this great organization
has made distinct and satisfactory pro
groes.
AGED ODD O'OLLOwa.
"Legislation of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge enabling Grand Jurisdictions in
their clisaretion to create, maintain and
dispense an aged Odd Fellows' fund wag
instituted at the last 058510n 01 that body.
Where a member is over 60 years of age
and has been affiliated with nue, institu-
tion for 26 years or over and hie lodge
has for any reason surrendered its ohm -
ter, he is surely entitled to the benefit of
his membership in some way or other.
LODGE PIISSI0.IANS.
"By the action of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge at its last melon it lima been do-
elarod contrary to the law of the Order
for subordinate lodges to pay out of their
funds to a pbysioian hired by the year,
unless authorized by the constitutions
laid down by Grand Lodges foe their sub.
ordinates. This decision affeobing, as it
does, a very large number of lodges in our
jnrisdiotion, is very far•eeeing and serious
THE BRUSSELS POST
in its possible effects on onr membership.
It is very difficult to say what might IX)
the ultimate elloot of abolishing these
oflicoro, and itis for this Grand Lodge to
take such action ee they :nay be advised
in the promisee. I would strongly re.
commend, in view 0f our present position,
that an amendment to leo oonstitution of
our subordinates be ietroduesd, giving the
neoeseary powers for the appointment of
lodge phyeiciane ; and I so reaonlmend
despite the doubts that have been ex.
pressed as to ourpnwere in this retard,"
TITS ORDER'S 100001)58,
Grand Secretary J. B. King, in hie ae.
noel report, called attention to the Or-
der's advance io membership of 12,172.
Daring the previous year 1,015 situ
brothers received 912,082.40, the total re-
lief of aIle Seo be( - „ l,1 0 .1 w:.1 total
funds 9240,734.70. Today our roster has
22,825 members, During 1890 3,118
members wore aiok, receiving 240,000.00
—total relief 982, 480.76, and total funds
9025,773,01: a truly noble record
of advance for such a short period. It
should till the heart of every Odd Fellow
in Ontario with pride and satisfaction
and confirm and biomes, if it need be,
his faith in the future of the Order.
"Tho large and increasing rate of sick-
ness and death in the older lodges warns
every thinking member that the amount
of benefits of all ]finds has too long been
made more largely oat of a generous Sym.
path), than from the fact of the ability of
the lodge to meet and ootttieue to meet
these growing demands. While the ob-
ject in joining our Order may not and
should not be for what benefits one may
get from it, at the satnetime the benefits
to be derived from membership in the
Order form a very important factor in
deciding the average man to join it.
Therefore there should be no doubt as to
the soundness and solvency of the bene-
ficial 5ys1em, so that confidence may not
be felt by every member, that as others
have received their benefits hie will be
forthcoming when required.
"A number of our older lodges have
lately experienced the foot that they can-
not om"
it,u4 t., p y .lu l:r,r;;a .I1n1 they
y
have boon paying on the death of a meld•
bar, and have every assurance that their
funds will hold oat till the last obligation
is met—and there is no doubt but to a
greater extent than ie generally known
this doubtless is the amuse of many'of the
suspensions for nos -payment of dues.
"The payment on the deasase of a
brother of any sum, unless the lodge ool-
Ieet5 the proper cost for such insurance,
should, and really must, be disoontinued
if disaster is to be averted.
"In view of all this it appears evident
that now is the time to make a obange.
There should be absolute uniformity as
to fees and dues paid into sash lodge, and
io the amount of benefits to be paid by
each lodge for eiok or funeral benefits.
The many, we are tangbt, are stronger
than the fete, so, therefore, all lodges
joining bands contra with positive safety,
promido to pay contiguous sick benefits,
and not be oompelled when a brother has
loot his health and become a confirmed
invalid to reduce his benefits to the pit.

not bo provided far.
"If, •ho it ;y ns+d, the seworehln Lo'l,rs
laws will not permit the adoption by a
provivaial jurisdiction of laws to enable
lodges to do as here suggested, then it is
high time tbat that body should better
commit its own and the order's interests
by making legislation by which it can bo
done."
The report of the Grand Treasurer
showed the fineness of the Grand Lodge
to be in a satisfactory condition,
All the reports, including the auditor's,
were referred to committees.
The special committees seleoted to look
into matters of au Odd Fellows' home
and matters relating to financial affairs
presented abort reports.
