Th- Grand Lodge of the United States I. O. O. F., representing the grfat Broth erhood of Odd Fellows of the United States, on the 20th day of September commenced the holding of their annual sessions at the Odd Fellows' Hall, Balti more. The body received the report of the Committee en Credentials; and, after this heard the report of the Grand Sec retary, which, after some preliminary matter, gives the condition of the Order throughout the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge. In We? Cauada the Order is prosper ous, there being now fifteen active Lod ges, with nearly 1,000 members. In East Canada, the Order has entirely died ! out, and no eli'ort appears to be making j to resMiscitate it. In th lower provinces j of Briti.-h North America there is an im ; provinir condition. Michigan shows the Order to be in as healthy condition as at the time of th- annual report, while in Wrmnnt it li mriii-hf'-j In Maine then? I II- ! is comparative prosperity, and also in Massachusetts. New Hampshire and Rhode Lland reports show a diminution of ? 1,ke ,s H" sented from Connecticut, i rom both sections of New York there are not fav orable reports, but New Jersey presents a healthy condition. Pennsylvania shows not its usual prosperous condition, though in Delaware the Order is prosperous, and in Maryland Odd Fellowship occupies an eminently prosperous condition, and is ever advancing. In the District of Col umbia there is prosperity, but in irginia there is a falling oil' of Lodges and mem bership, attributed, as in most other ins tances, to the financial panic. North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mis sissippi and Alabama, show no visible signs of prosperity, while in some of these jurisdictions the Order has reduced. In Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, there is a marked prosperity. In Kentucky there appears a general falling off in both branches of the Order, but the number of lodges and encampments is greater than lasi year and the Order is vigorous. From Tennessee, Arkan sas, Iowa, Texas, California, Minnesota. Oregon, Nebraska, Kansas, Sandwich Islands, New Mexico, and Washington Territories, the reports are flattering to the Order, showing health and visror in both branches. There is no report from Wisconsin. Incident in an Insane Asylum. The following narration exhibits some thing of the craftiness and cunning of the in.-ane. but especially the tact and pres ence of mind necessary on the part of the conductors, particularly in emergencies, when dealing with their patients, i he incident is related by the San Francisco Pacific. The former excellent matron, Mrs. Reid, with her attendant, generally call ed Elizie, had gone, as usual in the morn ing, into the apartments of the most rav ing females. They were all yet in their separate apartments, leading into one long hall. On some occasion Mrs. R. had gone forward to the farther end, and Eiizie, contrary to regulations, had open ed one of the apartments, where a very i jnfr a strong fort at Cairo, armed with a strong, insane woman slept. This woman! ch:iin-pump and one hundred of his Car was soni"tiines very furious, and would : niinative Balsam. not fear to commit any deed, even to take : Vnder these tremendous circumstances life, if provoked. She had formerly ; n0 wonder the men and woiuen of the drank excessively, and was ardently fond nineteenth century wore highly intellect- ot sherry wine; but there was r.o thtli culty in dealing with her when she knew that her managers were stronger than herself. On this occasion, as Elizie en tered, the bundle of keys were imprud ently left in the door, and arrangements were making to bathe the insane woman. Watching carefully her opportunity, the woman slipped by Elizie, shut the door and turned the key; then, with the bound of a wild beast, her eyes flashing with excitement, she sprang forward to Mr. Reid, and exclaimed: 'Oh! mother Reid! I've shut Elizie into my room, have got the keys, and you are in my power.' Mrs. Reid, being a person of only or dinary strength, knew she could do noth ing with her, but pleasantly replied : 'Well, and so what do you propose to do.' 'I'm going to shut you up too ; open the otl ler rooms, and let ail tne women out. 'Well,' said Mr. Reid, 'and what then ?' 'Then, I'm going to San Francisco,' was the reply. 'Why ! in those clothes you have got on?' said Mrs. Reid, 'surely every body will laugh at you.' 'Oh, well,' was the reply after a mo ment's survey of her clothes; 'I will go and buy me some new ones in San Fran cisco.' 'Bat,' said Mrs. Reid, 'you can't, be cause every one will know at once by those clothes that you come from the in sane asylum and they will tako you and bring you right back again.' Stopping for a moment for f fleet, as I the raving woman was looking at her dress, she added : 'nni1 .birtl! tletet-t vnti Vnn i1.r(- L-tni: room Ut coine wi'h me and I can! su,w ?U'' ! So together thev started alonrr the ' : L 1 Ual As they were going, the insane j Kcraan holdill tight the keys, Mrs. Reid ob served to her : 'Now do vou suppose that for a bottle of sherry wine you could pick out the key to Elizie's door ?' 'Yes,' was the reply, 'for a bottle of sherry wine I could.' 'I hardly think you can,' said Mrs. Reid. 'Yes, I can.' 'Well, now,' said Mrs. Reid, 'let us see.' The insane woman turned at once to the door whe re Elizie was locked in, and tried one key, and it would not answer; next, another was tried and failed, and the eagerness of the woman increased as each key failed, till a little while the right key was reached, turned with a wrench and the door was thrown back wide open. In a moment, Elizie sprang out, and Mrs. Reid grasped the insane woman around the waist, pinning her arms to her body, and Elizie in like man ner, seized her around the lower limbs, and she was quickly borne by the two in to her room, and the two, stepping out, turned the key, then first to breathe easy since the danger was perceived. It was an occasion of rejoicing at their escape, of severe and deserved reproach to Eli zie for her imprudence in entering alone, and leaving the keys in the door, and of earnest protestations by Elizie, that she vould be more careful again. BO II TAIL SI.REAT PRIZE STORY' . i The Doomed Monarch; Or. the Fiend CoIJhh. B Y BOBTAIL. CHAPTER I. It was night nowhere, and nowhere was as dark as a bottle of ink in a barrel of pitch at the bottom of a well, and forty four thousand times darker than the con centrated darkness of forty thousand mid nights, when upon a throne of petrified turtle soup, stood the mighty Gengulphus monarch of the Fe Fi Fo Fum Islands, eatimj a slic of buttered beeswax, occa sionally wetting his lips by drinking lluid ical wrought iron sheet anchors, fluke foremost. Around him stood ninety-two thousand nine hundred and eighty-seven and a half Courtiers! 'Bring forth the whangdoodle and place it on the hewgag !' exclaimed he in a ter rific voice, at the same time cutting a courtier's head with the sharp edge of an illuminated cotton bale. CHAPTER II. The whangdoodle was placed upon the hewgag but, before we go further, let us take a glance at the political state of America at the time our story opens. We were involved in a war with Mexico, and Gen. Scott was carrying our victori ous Hag through the halls of the Monte lo.-ers. General Washington, command ing the home army, had formed a junc tion with Christopher Columbus at Nau voo, and defeated the combined forces of England, France and Hindostan, in a sanguinary retreat on Bangtown heights. John C. Fremont, President of the Unit ed Suites, had appointed James Buchanan Governor of Cape Cod ; and Napoleon Bonaparte, as Mayor of Bunker Hill, as sisted by Lieutenant-General Barner O' Twigger, of Ireland, was preparing for a descent upon tories at Cerro Gordo, while Dr. Javne, U. S. Surgeon, was construct ual, and, genesally speaking, born when they were young. Turn we again to our story. f IIAPTF.R III. The whangdoodle was placed upon the hewgag. Dismay and terror sat upon the countenances of the nobility. Lord De Mona involuntary clutched the Prince Blowhusbb's coat tail, and the Countess of Fizfum disappeared hysterically with in her hoops, while the bold Count de Scratch, hitherto the bravest of the bra're, threw himself at the foul of the throne, and elevated one leg as signal of the distress. But the mighty Gengulphus was unmoved. Drawing a golden wire safety fuse from his bosom, he was in the act of attaching one end of it to the whangdoodle Oh! horror of horrors! he beheld in one corner of the room his be loved Selleh located in the arms of Fee tille Swash Bosky, Envoy Extraordinary from the Isle of Wight! CHATTER IV. To say Gengulphus was angry would be but an indifferent statement of the truth. He was in rage. He couldn't contain himseif, and consequently boiled over in torrents that formed puddles of wrath at his feet. He foamed, raved, ripped and tore, stamped, rolled, kicked, and roared. At last, seizing a battering ram by the horns, he made a furious push at the guilty pair. CHAPTER V. "Die!"' shrieked Gengulphus as he twirled the fearful instrument above their heads; but alas, in its swift descent it came in contact with Baron de Bousey's pipe, and glancing at right angles, clove asunder the massive door leading to the Royal Menagerie ! Brimstone and tor- ' tVia Vinoria n-iinrwin fiorro flamimi.rtnl howl ran through the rooms, and the mo- ment an infuriated grizzly codfish ran madly forth from the demolished door. and buried its deadly fangs in the seat of , the mighty Gengiilphus1 inexpressibles! jlle uttered a sharp cry of pain made one desperate efiort to shake off the monster and then fell to the floor as I dead as a June bug in January. ! CHAPTER VI. But little more remains to be told. Sel leh soon after the death of Gengulphus, stabbed herself with a bed wrench, and her paramour, Fee tille Swash Bosky, be coming stricken with remorse, buried himself in a pot of porter heels up. The Countess JFiz Fum eloped with an Egyptian mummy in a good state of pre servation, and the Count de Scratch, having lost the whole of his fortune in playing 'Simon says wig wag' with Lord de Monze, he was forced to emigrate West, where he enlisted as orderly ser geant to a lime kiln, and was shortly af terwards killed by the bursting of a cab bage head. Happ) Idle? Impossible! Or so agues Carlyle, in an eloquent passage : "There is perennial nobleness, and even sacred ness in work. Were he j 1 he loss of the cost of the seed is coin never so benighted, forgetful of his high i paratively nothing to the loss of time, la calling, there is always hope in a man that j bor and the season gone. Y'et how often actually and earnestly work ; in idleness ' does this occur ? The grower is entirely alone there is perpetual despair. Work, j at the mercy of the seed-raiser, and he never so Mammonish, mean, is in rom- ! should, first of all, make it a point to ob- munication with Nature; the real desire to get work will itself lead one more and more to truth, to Nature's appointments and regulations, which are truth. "Consider how, even in the meanest sorts of labor, the whole soul of a man is composed into a kind of real harmony, the instant he sets himself to work. Doubt, desire, sorrow, remorse, indigna tion, despair itself, all these, like hell dogs, lie beleaguering the soul of the poor day-worker, as of every man; but he bends himself with free valor against his task, and all these are stilled, all these shrink murmuring far oil into their caves. "Blessed is he who has found his work and let him ask no other blessedness." But Ruskin varies this a little: "It is no less fatal error to despise la bor when regulated by intellect, than to value it for its own sake. We are always trying to separate the two; we want one man to be always thinking, and another to be always working, and we call one gentleman and the other an operative; whereas the workman ought often to be thinking, and the thinker often to be working; and both should be gentlemen in the best sense. As it is, we make both ungentle, the one envying, the other despising his brother; and the mass of so ciety is made up of morbid thinkers and miserable workers. Now it is only by labor that thought can be made healthy, and only by thought that labor cm be made happy, and the two cannot be sep arated with impunity. All professions should Illiberal, and there should be less pride felt in peculiarity of employment, and more in excellence of achievement." A Rhymester In Limbo. A practical genius was hauled up be fore the Mayor, the other day, for kiss ing a handsome girl, and kicking up a dust and the following examination took place : Mayor. Is your name John Ray ? Pris. Yes, your honor, so the people say. Mayor. Was it you that kissed the girl and raised the alarm ? Pris. Yes, your honor, but I thought it was no harm. Mayor. You. rascal, did you come hero to make rhymes ? Pris. No, your honor, but it will hap pen sometimes. Mayor. Be off, you scamp, g t out of my sight. Pris. Thank'ee, your honor, then I'll bid you good night. An E(iuorTight. We believe it is rare that editors in dulge in a drop, but when they do, their readers are sure to find them out.

The inquest of the verdict returned a jury that the dec eased came to the facts in accordance with his death. He lives a child and six small wives to lament the end of his un timely loss. In death we are in the midst of life." An Enthusiastic Compliment. The enthusiastic Kelmer thus discour ses upon the fair sex : "Woman is indeed a bright and beau tiful creature.

Her sweet and ten der heart gives life and soul to dead and senseless things. She is the ladder hv which we climb from earth up to heaven. She is the practical teacher of mankind, and the world would be void without her.

Farm and Garden. A Chapter on Seed-Sail nsr. We do not believe, as a general rule, that it is advisable for the market gar dener, the private gardener, or the ama teur, to save all his own seed. We are not going to recommend this. Seed growing is a business of itself and so it ought to be for when conducted honest ly, systematically and scientifically, it can be cheaper done, and better done, than in saving by mere driblets in a small or large garden where other objects are primary and this only secondary. Seed-raising, too, is one of the most important branches of Horticultural pur suits, and requires to be conducted with care, skill and honesty; for what is more provoking and annoying, and worse still, the positive awl irreparable loss it invol ves, to find, after much labor and time bestowed, that you have b-en cultivating ! a spurious, perhaps worthless variety. turn nits seeu 11 uiu iiiu iiiusi 1 eiiaoic auuice that can be had, even if it be at a higher cost than can somewhere else be found, and the next is the exception to the rule above hinted at. He should endeavor to save such kinds of seed as are apt to prove uncertain, and which it is of the first importance to have true, and then he may save such kinds as are easily sav l:, 1 r... ... .1 i:M- ed, and take but little of his valuable time during the busy season. There are some kinds which it does not pay the trouble of saving, as the salsify, for instance, which if not gone over every day and collected, will blow away and be lost, but this is less liable to be inferior than ma ny others, as there is nothing commonly grown that will mix with it. It may however be set doyn as an axiom, that if you really possess a superior vr.riety of anything, it is worth a little extra trouble to save it, (and we have known persons possessing varieties, the espial of which could not be purchased in any of the seed stores.) If you have such, save with iealous care. Select out plants, and let them be the. best for seed, and they will go on improving under your hands. Another point is, as all plants are liable to sport or vary, you may often find improvement in an individual plant, in its edible qualities, whether vegetable or fruit, and, as like produces like, by sav ing the seed from it, you may retain and fix that improvement, though possibly you may lose it again, but you should al ways proceed on that principle, to select for seed the most mature and perfect of its kind. But we did not set out to dwell on gen eralities, but intended to particularize some varieties which we consider the most desirable to save. All kinds that can be hung up or otherwise stored away, to be threshed and cleaned out in winter, and that includes quite a number may be saved, but never save two varieties of the same species that ripen at the same time, as they will be sure to mix and cross at quite a long distance. This may be obviated with lettuce, radish and sev eral other things, by saving one at a time and so on in succession, if you have seve ral varieties. Turnip blood beet is very oft"n found improved by being crossed with light col ored varieties. A good colored variety once possessed may easily Le retained by saving your own seed. But we think the most troublesome to get pure, and at the same time the most important, is the cabbage family. There are so many varieties and they cross aud hybridise so easily that they are oftener found impure and spurious than any oth ers, and when they are thus crossed, they are often so spoiled as to be utterly worthless. The cabbage will mix with and so destroy the cauliflower and brocoli that they will not produce a head, and vice I'crta, so that 111 saving callage seed you should not by any means allow any other plant of that family to be in flower at the same time. Pumpkins and squash cross very freely and also the different varieties of the mush and watermelon, and it i impossible to presume any given variety true, if there are others m proximity to it. Thesi facts are pretty well known, but are too often neglected when they should not be. It is not so much for a want of knowledge of these matters we believe, as it is a sort of carelessness, and a want of reflection in the after consequences, and whether it be the proiessional seed-grower, or the gardener growing for his own use, no one can be too particular on the subject of hybridizing, and thus injuring the va riety, nor in selecting the first and best of every kind for seed.

Men may blush to hear what they were not ashamed to act. Men take less care of their couscienco than their reputation. Never do that in prosperity whereof you may repent in adversity.
