Odd Fellows’ Celebration.
PRESENTATION OF A FLAO y ORATIONS, ETC.
Tho Macon Brotherhood of Odd Fellowship cele
brated their semi-centennial anniversary yesterday,
in a most imposing and brilliant manner. At 10
o’clock a. xi., tho Order turned out about ono hun
dred strong in their beautiful regalia, and marched
in doable file, from their Hall on the comer of Mul
berry street and Cotton Avenue, to Ralston’s tt.h
where a l&ige crowd of ladies andgentlemen awaited
their coming, and to witness the morning exercises.
Tho Brotherhood was seated in the paiquette, the
officers on the stage, and the audience in the dress
circle and gallery. When order and quiet had been
obtained, the Italian Band opened the exercises with
a grand overture, at the conclusion of which Grand
Representative John G. Deitz introduced Mr. Girar-
dy, who read the proclamation of the Grand Sire of
the Order in the United-States, in a veiy dear, dis
tinct and impressive manner. Prayer was then

In accordance with this commendable custom, and
JB^to to tee request of the Supremo Gram!
Lodge of the Order, we have assembled ten
“5 «™tefnl hearts, to celebrate, in a proper
I “ ,,mer . tee semi-centennial anniver
sary of Odd Fellowship in America. To one entirely
unaccustomed to public speaking has been allotted
the responaible task of standing up aa the champion
of the assembled Brotherhood, to proclaim Itanin-
ples, its inns, and its objects, /would that the
duty had been assigned to abler hands. But. re-
membenng it is a holy cause I have essayed to ad-
vocate, I indulge the fond hope that its tranaceudant
merits will so take captive and win aU hearts teat
the errors and shortcomings of your humble speaker
may be forgotten. It gives me pleasure, however,
inasmuch as I am favored with another opportunity
of testifying my devotion to the great andgkmoua
principles of our Order. Hallowod by active
tion for nearly a quarter of a century, I cherish its
teachings as among the most treasured recollections
of the past; and I would not, for the material wealth
of a thousand worlds, dispossess myself of the glori
ous reminiscences of Odd Fellowship.
I make no pretensions to oratory—can promise no
display of rhetoric or flight of fancy; bnt, in hum
ble, earnest phrase, present a few practical thoughts
for your attentive Consideration, upon the character
and genius of Odd Fellowship, and rehearsing its
t features, present some of the induce
ments which it holds out to us to “ learn to *«Nt
and to wait.”
Odd Fellowship is one of the noblest ornaments,
one of tee most attractive features, one of the
crowning excellencies of tee age in which we live.
Its wonderful rise and rapid growth are on paralleled
in the history of our race.
Its immortal principles, its euhUmo troths, its
precious precepts, its holy aims, its nmmlfisli pur
poses, its splendid achievements, and its stainless
history, must command the admiration of tee pV.il-
anthropic historian down to the latest period of re
corded time.
Odd Fellowship ia becoming a power on earth foV-
midable in numbers and mighty m deeds.
In the comparatively brief span of its existenor. it
has outgrown this Continent, extending from the
Atlantic to tee Pacific shore; and expanding and
progressing on its holy mission of peace and good
will In mnn if lolnn a’o. tlin /l»*b nralava I1,st
nor does it assume a hostile attitude towards any
moral, benevolent, or religious association. We

the Brotherhood of our sincere sympathy and cor

We now commit it to your hands, with our prayers,

temple—the emblem of peace and good will to men,
and may overy brother who gazes upon its symbolic

Odd Fellowship makes no pretentions to hoary
antiquity, but stands confessedly the perfected
work of tee philanthropists of the nineteenth cen
tury. It rises up over snd shove the wrecks snd
ruins, the monld and mist of the past, and stands
forth fresh and fair, winning the"
tion of the good and trust!
world.
Odd Fellowship is an Institution formed by good
men for the advancement of the principles of Be
nevolence snd Troth, snd has for Its aim snd ob
ject tho amelioration of human suffering, and the
elevation of human character. It is a vast mutual
aid society, founded npon the principles of the
purest philanthropy. Tno foundation of the snper-
6tincture is laid in the acknowledgment of universal
fraternity.
We recognize bnt ono country, the world, but one
family, tbo human race. From tins principle we
learn that all are children of one common Father;
aa brethren of one universal family; and as fellow
travelers through this dark world of sin and Borrow,
we are bound to sympathize with, to aid and pro
tect our brother man.
Upon this foundation is erected a system of prac
tical benevolence, that sends its influence through
all society, and that this may not degenerate into
an indiscriminate system of alma giving, which con
verts tee earnings of honest industry into a reward
for pauperism snd idleness, it has established cer
tain checks and balances, by which its active good
ness is restrained within proper limits. Its first
duty is to its own household, but its influence ia felt
beyond; uniting good men in the practice of so*
knowledged duties, requiring no surrender of re
ligious or political creed, leaving speculation for
practice, it has gone forte among the homes of men
nke some missioned spirit of good with its words of
kindness, its deeds of comfort: wherever it baa
moved it was tor the healing of disease, the allevia
tion of pain; the tear of sorrow has been wiped
away, and tee face of anguish fllamined with a smile;
it has no marble altar, no wreathed statue, no of
fering of inccnao; but hearts of affection build up
ti,?g ^randehip cannot stay the hand of Death,
teeinnveiBal conqueror; and another sacred dutyW
imposedupon ns, to taidtrly bear tee body of om

Uniting men under the influence of the social
principle, Odd Fellowship demands tee practice of
benevolence snd charity; and in order to impress
these duties on the mind, and famish incentives to
action in those moment of relaxation to white all
lore subject, it has instituted solemn ceremonies,
ordained frequent meetings, and formed a language
of signs—all designed to produce a habit of bene
volence, and by educating the moral faculties, pso-
moto tho well-being of society. The pimaples
emblazoned upon our banner and inscribed upon
our own altars, are Friendship, love and TYuth—
and it is the constant and unvarying mculcation of
these principles that causes Odd Followship to be

tee excellencies of human nature and human asso

the fact, that it brings together men of tee most
discordant opinions, snd unites them m the. bonds
of brotherly love. We claim that it m eminently
calculated to develop those fine snd social feelings, j
which are an honor to onr nature.
We set forth Odd Fellowship as a means of doing

Can any doubt the necessity of labor in such a
use ? Behold tbs vast sea of human agony! A
world of sin and sickness, of sorrow and death 1 A
race of mortals straggling for immortality, and all
needing the sympathy and support of each other!
On the key stone of the great Arch of Christianity
is emblazoned in lettem of gold the command that
man “should love his neighbor as himself,” and
should “do unto them as ho would that they Bhould
do unto him.” Yet, under this benign and blessed
rale, with all its healing for the diseased spirit,
with all its heaven-bora to taco for tee ills and trials
of life, with all its precious promises, wite tho aid
of its sublime and stupendous model, soperadded
to atatote and example, “man’s inhumanity to
still makes countless millions mohrn." This in
humanity, if not positive, is negative; it not acted
directly and ovortly, is displayed by stolid apathy
and unconcern.
The tenant of the palace sit* securely from the
storm which nots outside, snd amid the terrific snd
commanding wail of the elements, as they startle
his nerves and disturb his composure, he may
shrink at the guilt which conscience summons; bnt
when the clouds disperse, the winds slumber, and
the clear blue sky smues again, he little thinks, lit
tle knows, perhaps little cares for the toiling mil
lion—their wants, their woes, their Borrows or their
sufferings disturb bis equanimity no more than if
they were not of tee same race or family.
This picture, io a thousand varied forms, is daily
seen in every city, town and village the world over.
Just here, as an hnmble offering in the Master’s
cause, doth Odd Fellowship intervene. What a
glorious sight I To behold this vastarmy of three
hundred thousand troe, heroic men, not with fire and
sword spreading death and desolation throughout
tee land, but nobly battling in behalf of suffering
humanity, and bravely straggling to roll back tbo
mighty tide of sorrow and woe that ever threatens
to engulf so many of our race. _
In this sacred work, true, heroic woman bears a
faithful part. Oh, bow firm is woman in tee cause
of sorrow and humanity. How often has she trod
den tee wine-press of bitterness, to share the woes
and sorrows of him who with her toils through tee
ragged pathway of life, and fqr whom she has given
up all else this side of heaven. Wherever she hear*
the sigh of sorrow, the moan of the heart-broken,
tee appeal of tee destitute, or the wail of the mis
erable, she is quick in her ministrations of mercy,
not passing by on tee other side, but flying to re
lieve.
And it is not strange, therefore, that when Sus
picion and Bigotry; Selfishness snd Contempt,
leagued together to stifle onr existence and crash
onr Order, the bright eye of woman cheered ns on
beings who have lived and moved upon this earth as

inducements which this subject bolds ou* to us to

One of these is the ever present, all-pervading
consciousness that this is but a life of probation!
Ia but the beginning of what will nover end, and
that every thought, word, and doed, makes or man
onr characters forever. Everything here is transi
tory and incomplete. Every lesson taught here
pouts to another life. We cannot solve the great
problem of Ufe; we cannot reconcile its manifold
contr-dictiona and perplexities, without the admis
sion of another sphere of existence.
Here vice is luxuriously arrayed in parole and
fine linen, faring sumptuously, while virtue ia
shivering and starving in rags! Here wrong tri

Grateful for her thus becoming s shield to ward
of all attacks, we have established a Degree admit
ting her to our councils, snd sharing in onr labors
of love, as a testimonial that the confidence thus
reposed in us is most cordially and heartily recipro
cated.
While conferring it upon her, we not only honor
and confide in the sex aa we ehoold, but we also
realize a long-cherished plan of an organized enume

Such, too. is woman’s noblest work! By the
couch of Buffering she stands peerless and unri
valled. To the wounded patriot who, borne from
tho immortal battle-fields of life, lingers upon his
comfortless bed, overshadowed by the dark wings
of Death's Angel, she comes like an angel of light:
and under the soothing and hallowing influence of
her divine ministrations, the soul of the dying war
rior rises superior to the pangs of dissolution, and
catches a glimpse and foretaste of that HeaTen of
rest, and peace and love, into which be ia ao soon to
enter.
Nor does her care and affection end wite the ad
vent of Death, bat true “as the needle to the pole,”
her loving heart clings to the memory of her fallen
heroes, and her tender hands guard with reverent
care their Bleeping dust. Yea, on this very day. ere
yon golden snn shall set, true, loving, heroic woman,
wite wreaths and bright flowers and evergreens,
will crown an these deathless heroes with the sym
bols of immortal Hope and undying Love.
In this sphere, her resplendent virtues brightest
shine; andin this sphere has she gathered her most
unfading laurels. The Daughters of Bebekah give
to our Order its brightest ornament and its crown-
woman for an ally and co worker, we must
and wm succeed! Always, and everywhere, mors
sinned against than sinning, we crown her Queen of
our hearts, star of our hopes and light of our life.
With woman's approving smile and theDiriue bless

Order shall never faff.

and there it will ever stand
As some tall cliff that lifts its mighty form.
Swells from the vale and midway leaves the storm;
Though round its breast the rolling clouds may
spread.
Eternal sunshine settles on its head.
And now having heard so much of tee principles
of onr organization, you have the right to inquire :
What of its practice ? Where is the evidence that
it has fulfilled its high mission ?
To answer thia question satisfactorily, we have
compiled from the official records, the following
statistics of the Order in this city.
Franklin Lodge No. 2, was instituted, September
^United Brothers No. 5, was instituted, November
Since that time there has been expended in round
numbers the following sums:

and finally, overwhelmed wite sfWisHus and sor

and unsung!
All this ia inharmonious and contradictory. This
cannot be the end. Our own humblo reason pro
tests against it; and, above all. Divine Revelation
proclaims the reality and certainty of another sphere
of existence, where vice will be punished and virtue
rewarded; where the wrongs of earth shall be made
right.
I know that there are some who pronounce tbo
sacred volumo a fable, and Would with fl'npant
sneer consign it to oblivion, affecting to believe that
all of life ia confined to this present state. But I
sincerely trust and believe that no Odd Fellow ran
be guilty of such folly. Withont the Bible, Odd
Fellowship would be a lifeless spectre, an airy
phantom, a baseless fabric, and would soon become
aa the sounding brass, and as tee tinkling cymbaL
From that sacred volume, the pure fountain of wia-
dom, truth, light, life and love, has our Order de-
rived everything that is lovely and of good report
From thence has it drawn the most of those great
symbols which embody the snblimeet truths. From
thence has it derived its pure, chaste and expressive
ntnai—and there is not a degree from the Initiatory
i“* owc * i*» origin to teat
blessed book! And from thence wa receive this
most cheering truth, teat
Beyond this vile of tears
There is alifo above;
Unmeasured by the flight of Tears
And all teat life ialSve!
Behold the inducement to labor and to wait!
Now we would superadd to all this another great
truth. Our influence never dies. Every thought
we breathe, every word we utter, every deed we
getforaxbe they good or evil, bear the impress of
We see not in this life tee end of human ksIm,
They sweep along down through the ages, in ever
widening cireles, and leaping across the dark valley
white divides tiro worida, swell on and on through
out the endless cycles of eternity!
Every morning when we go forth, we lay the
moulding hand npon our destiny; and every even
ing when we havo done, we have left a deathless
impress upon our characters and lives, and upon
the age in white we live.
We touch not a wire but vibrates in eternity, we
speak not a voice, but reports at the Trane ot Uod!
The past, the present, snd the fntnre. are indis
solubly linked together in an unbroken chain of
events.
No circumstance so minute, no event so humble,
no voice ao feeble, but it tends to swell the grand
total for good or evil. All the sublime purposes
of the Divine mind,far-reaching and comprehensive,
are progressing from age to age, widening and deep
ing and approximating tee final consummation.
In view of these great troths, how infinitely im
portant becomes every word and action. How care
fully ahcsild we avoid all evil and zealously the good
pursue! What absorbing interest attaches to tho
great lesson we would strive to learn and teach:
"Learn to labor and to wait.” To labor for the
right and wait for tee reward, white most sorely
come. The Supreme Architect of tho Universe has
forever consecrated and hallowed the sphere of la
bor. it is the foil and conudete realization of life's
mission. Everything that is grand and enduring is
the fruit of patient, earnest, continuous, persever
ing labor. Ages elapse from the inception to tee
consummation of those great designs white prodnoe
works of beauty that are a joy forever il
Bnt, while God is alow, men are fast I Does He
wish to accomplish anything an hundred years
hence. He is working for it now. Man, fitful snd
impatient, despairs if his work is not accomplished
in a day. If tee traits of his labor are not suddenly
visible, he mourns and complains. Hence tee im
portance of onr theme: hence the necessity of hav
ing this lesson engraved on onr hearts.
Conscious of our integrity in pursuing s course of
right, consecrating onr lives to the sacred principles
we confess, we should never despair of their final
success. Our laboss, however brief, cannot be in
vain. We may pass away, but the good work will
goon, and if we have patiently done what we could,
we shall sorely receive our reward, and the good in
fluence we have put in motion win never cease.
Learn to labor snd to wait; it is the key-note in
life’s grandest bjrmn; it ia the sure foundation of
all good actions: it is tee never faffing prompter of
no%deede; itistteenconragerofhighresolves; it
is a firm support against all discouragement, a
certain assurance of ultimate triumph. Lst ns,
then, my brethren, learn to labor; always and ev
erywhere, at home and abroad, by the wayside and
in the workshop, by night and by day, unceasingly
labor for the amelioration of human suffering and
the elevation of human character.
As Odd Fellows, “ learn to labor.” for our cause
I is holy, our aim sincere, our purpose pure, and to
wait for the reward white is certain. Above all, be
not weary in well-doing.
For why? The answer embodies a sublime pro
mise that should awaken the careless and cheer the
desponding. For in due season ve shall reap if ye
faint not. And superadd to all this that the pro.
mise of the Grown of Life ia not to him that put-
fete his band to the plough and turncth bate, but
to him that endures to the and. - -
Let us then learn to labor faithfully in our allotted
spheres, performing with fidelity our respective du
ties, and patiently wait for the gradual unfolding of
tepee great plana of Him who is over all and aboTe
all. Labor for Heaven-born friendship, tnd wait
for the coming of that period when hatred and
mahoe, and envy and strife shall bo heard and
known no more" forever. Labor far sacred love, j
and patiently wait for the perfect consummation of
its glorious work. Labor for truth divine, “a gem I

by the heartiest applause. At its conclusion the

Brotherhood returned to their h*ii a ft., unfurl
ing their banner to the breezo from tee roof of
their building, they dismissed until the hour for tho
evening festivals.
The celebration dosed at a lato boor last night,
with a splendid supper in tho Teutonia Hail, at
which the beauty and fashion of tea city ware as
sembled,, snd where a general re-union of the
brotherhood of tee city ami visiting brethren waa
had. Wit, muaic and hilarity were the order of the
evening.
Tbs Dxoosanox or tbs Gsatis The ladies of
te** e*ty, generally, cast their annual-Aoral tributes
yesterday upon the graves of the men who gave
their lives in def enoe of a cause they eooM not sus
tain. Both cemeteries were visited hf Urge num
bers of ladies and gentlemen, and all the graves
were beautifully decorated or strewn with flowers.
Wa coold only find time to visit tho Bose Hffi Cem
etery. Arriving at the grounds whero lie the Con
federate dead, wa found more thin ono hundred la
dies and misses busily engaged in their mournful
yet beautiful labor of love and respect. We have
not tee space to writo an extended notice of tho
scene which greeted our eyes on all -id— as wo
walked through tee sanctuary of the SeoA- but sev
eral beautiful objects; which attracted mute atten
tion, we must allude to. The first was what might
be termed a floral monument. It consisted of a
column about ten foot high, wreathed with
snd evergreens, on the top of white was a floral flag
of the Confederacy, ingeniously wrought in red snd
white rosea. The column stood upon a beautifully
decorated doable pedestal, and near the top of the
column, encircled by a wreath, were the words:
“For lore of those who vainly breve
Died for a cause they oould not save.”
The next object of beauty and attraction waa •
large floral arte white stands near the centre of tbs
first row of graves on tho nppor side of the grounds.
In the centre of the arte snd beautifully wreathed
are the following lines:
“Oh! happy in their homes, the noble dead!
The seal is set on their majestic fame!
Earth has drank deep the generous blood they shad;
Fate has no power to dim their stainless name.
They may not, in one little moment shame
Long glorious years: From many s lofty stem.
Fait graceful flowers, eagle-hearts grow tame,
And stars drop, falling from the disdain;
But thebripht partis their’s—there is no change for
Another exqiaitely beautiful object in the form of
s double floral arte, stands in the centre of the
grounds and amid the graves. From the centre of
the bright floral arches above, hangs a crown com
posed of pure white pinks, forming, altogether, one
of the most radiantly beautiful and tasteful objects
white attracts the visitor’s eye.
AH the graves bad been prepared for their deoore-
tion days before, and they looked aa fresh as if they
had just received their mortal remains. And all
were wreathed or strewn with the fairest and sweet
est flowers.
In our walk among them we found the following
beautiful original lines white we oould not pass un
noticed. They are, it we mistake not, from the pen
of a well known poetical contributor to
columns, and wite them we dose our hastily writ-
ton sketch of a scene white would require columns
to appropriately and worthily describe:
