MASONIC HYMN.

Written By B. Kent
ETERNAL Light DER all Supreme,
Circling with beauty every Sphere
Lend from its fount holy beam,
To consecrate thy Temple here.
Based on that living Corner stone,
Which from the Rock or Ages came,
When lifes blest star DER Bethlehem shone,
And shepherds hailed Sayour's name
Guard its mosaic from the stain
OF error in Devotion's guse,
Nor let frail ornaments profane
The altar whence pure off'rings rise.
Give wisdom from the radiant East,
Where Faith and mild Obedience meet,
And in the shrouded border best,
Let Truth defend the mercy seat.
And while the suppIiant here shall bow,
Or lean on Strength and Grace divine;
If pure within, that light bestow,
Which issues from no throne but thines
We extract the following beautiful lines OF Poetry
from the Baltimore Morning Chronicle. Who that
has ever wandered TO that late and lone hour of the
night and heard amidst the silence and solitude OF
nature the bell tolling one, but must have experen-
ced emotions of peculiar excitement and melancholy
blended alike with sort Of indescribabe exaltaton
downward course, and the "vanes of the palace tow
ers shrieking shriily and dscordanty," borne away
upon the lonely breeze of night--at moment like
that to hear the bell toling one, and not feel thrill
ing every fibre of the heartwe hazard little in say
ing, that genius bears affinity to such cold and
ploddDg spirit-Ed. Hand. Pat.
THE BELL TOLLlNG ONE.
Now hushed is the noise of the song and the Jest,
Now each drowsy topper has sunk TO his rest,
To dream but of frolc and fun;
While the wild tales oil horror we've heard in ou
youth,
Now helped by the gloom, take the clothing oftruth
| AS we hear the dull bell tolng one.
| It strikes--and we list for another loud sound,
But echo alone breaks the silence around
The sands Of that lone hour have run
And when next it returns in the hustle Of day,
Ii causes no thought as we haste on our way,
/ To hear the dull bell tolling one.
But when heard in the silence and gloom of tn
night,
In those hours which belong to the fairy & sprite
i When sunk to bis rest is the sun;
\ Fen the murderer's hand for moment is stayed,
The drunkard's coarse oath is moment delayed,
f Both, unknowing for why, are moment afraid
i AS they hear the dull bell tolling one.

sent this tale Of fact--ihat ne examined,
as you VIII see, 10 Offices, viz. at Jeffer-
sonvllle, Brookyille, Cincinnati, and all
the other Ohio Offices, in S4 days; that
is, from the goth of October to the gath
oil November. While in this part of the
service he travelled about as far as it
was necessary to travel in examining all
the land otticks west of Jeffersonyil.e.
But to allow him 20 days to have cxa-
mined the other eight, would make "a
days; and to divide SboIo by that num-
Der OF days, would give him Sis 81 per
day. But bill ofexpensss is ridiculous ;
his compensation was to nave been the
amount paid heretofore, Sc day when
at the Offices, and SIS for every twenty
miles in going to them. But it is well
known that he Dragged at home that he
was making fine summers work--that
ne was 70 get we'll paid--this is well
known, You and every body else know
that he was long time at home; that he
went to JACKSON in Missouri--was gone
two weeks that he was some time at
Vandalia; many days at Shawneetown,
&c. sc. Abill of expenses, therefore,
is ridiculous IT'S mere trick. But
where is the difference between, say 81 SO
to pay expenses, and the same sum to be
pocketed. He might have lived on one
dollar and fifty, and have pocketed the
remainder. He no doubt did SO live,
on thereabout."

Sir, The statement hereto annexed
shews the amount of money which Ire
ccived in virtue of your letter of credit
to the receivers of public moneys whose
Offices ! examined, the names of the re-
ceivers., from whom received the same,
and, also, the places where, and the
times when, the several sums were
drawn. Having given duplicate receipts
to the receivers for those sums, deem
ed it unnecessary to make any memo
randum Of the particular days onswhich
they were advanced. Therefore, can
not vouch for the accuracy Of that part
of the statement, it being made from re-
collection only. commenced the exa-
mination of the land offices about the
25th Of April, 1921, and finished on the
oath of November, in the same year.
Within that period I was several weeks
engaged in securing the debt due from
the Vincennes bank to the United States.
Not intending to charge the government
any thing more than a full indemnity for
my ordinary expenses whilst engaged in
this service, and believing that the sum
received as stated, is not more than sufh-
cient for that object, l should do injus-
tice to myself were I not to retain it. /
cannot, however, exhibit an accurate ac-
count Of those expenses, nor do | consi-
oder it important. But inasmuch as |
examined eighteen land Offices, dispers-
ed through an immense region Of coun-
try, and was considerable time serious
ly indisposed, it will be readily conceived,
that the expenses and losses incident to
such an undertaking, could not fall short
of the sum stated. VI

Your obcdient servant,
JESSE B. THOMAS.
