ANTI-MAsoNRY TEN YEARS AGO.

The synod of Pittsburg, Pa. took up the
subject OF Freemasonry in the years 182o-21,
and declared it TO be their mosecandid and So
lemn opinion, that it was unfit for protesting
Christians they admonished the members of
the church, in connection with that institution,
to 'come out and be seperate,' and to shave no
communion with the works of darkness They
based their objections to it, upon its secrecy
its want of charity, its exclusion of females,
and the danger of secret societies to the politi-
cal welfare of the country. The masons snap
ped them as short as pye.crust, and shut up
their mouths. They replied that the synod was
passing Judgment upon matter of which they
were entirely iguorant-they pointed to the
destitute widows and orphans of the neigh
borhood as living monuments of their unboun-
ded eharity,--and held up Rev. James Minor,
and Rev. Doct. Feltus of New-York, Rev,
James Muir, of Alexandria, and Rev. Robt.
Steele, of Pittsburg, as christian patrons and
supporters of the order.
The three lodges of Pittsburg, published a
protest against the report of the synod. in
which they denied all the charges and insinua-
ltions contained therein. They then whistled
the old tune, benevolent, charitable, ancient
and honorable &c. and thus the controversy
iclosed.
But in the Providence of God, the sacrifice
of human victim on the altar of masonry
was necessary to open the eyes of men and UNI
prejudice their minds to the full measure of
the evils of the institution. That victim has
been inundated. 1t was William Morgan.
| Through bis instrumentality, an investigation
is now in progress, which will satisfy every
man that Freemasonry is not guiltless of the
lcharges and insinuations contained in the re-
port of the synod of pittsburg.
| We do not say that Morgan is the only hui
man being whose life masonry has taken for a
violation of her laws, but the abduction and
murder of Morgan the craft and iniquity OF
the order have not been competent to conceal.

Or, the Maid turned Mistress.

A farmer of Somersetshire being engaged
to marry young lady, residing some ten or
twelve miles distant from his estate, and said
to be worth four or FIVE thousand pounds, had
so far concluded arrangements for the consume
nation of their hopes, that the intended bride,

being very susceptible of the tender passion,

and need not trouble herself further on the
matrimonial subject.-Exeter alfred.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE FEMALE HEART.

There is nothing under heaven SO delicious
as the passions of pure, fresh, immutable aft
fections. The most felicious moment of
mans life, the most ecstatic OF all his emo
tons and sympathes, is that in which he re-
ceives an avowal of affection from the idol of
his heart. The springs of feeling, which in
their youthful purity, are fountains OF unsealed
and gushing tenderness--the spell that once
draws them forth is the mystic light of future
years and undying memory. Nothing in life
is so pure and devoted, as woman's love. 1t
matters not whether it be for a husband or
child, or sister, or brother, it is the same pure
and unquenchable flame, the same constant
and immaculate glow Of feeling. whose upde-
niable touchstone is trial. Do but give her
one token of love, one kind word, or one gen.
tie look. even if it be amid desolation and
death-the feelings of that faithful heart will
gush forth as a torrent, in despite of earthly
bond or mercenary tie. More priceless than
the gems of Golconda, is the female hearts and
more devoted than the idolatry of Mecca is
woman's love. There is no sordid view, quail
flying self interest in the feeling. 1t is prin-
ciple and characteristic of her nature-a fa-
Guilty and infatuation which absorbs and con-
centrates all the fervor of her soul. and all the
depths of her bosom. l would rather be the
idol Of one unsullid and unpractised heart than
the monarch of empires. / would rather pos
sess the immaculate and imprisoned devotion
of one high soued and enthusiastic female,
than the sycophantic fawnings of millions.

We extract the following pithy remarks from the
sc Lancaster Anti-Masonic Herald.''
oFOOIJSH FXCITEMENTD

This is the language of Mr.. Frick, mason,
in the legislature of Pennsylvania. We are
astonished at the recklessness of the assertion,
though coming from one in whom defamation
is system, andvehgeance sworn obligation,
for we could not have believed that whatever
opinion he might entertain towards those who
are not initiated into the cutthroat secrets, and
vengeance pursuing obligations of masonry, he
should suffer his masonic spirit to obtain SO
much the mastery of his judgment, as to call a
large majority of the people of Pennsylvania
fools, the followers Of q bubble, and operated
