They find their account in throwing all pos
sible odium upon Seceders, for fear masons
should secede--iust as the Jews were said to
have custom of splitting upon the image OF
the Ma2arene, for fear Jews should become
Christians.
When Jews became Christians they were
Seceders-the Jews called them vile traitors
and made a mock funeral and buried them in
efigy.
These Hebrew Christians broke their obli-
cations to the religion of their fathers, but du-
ty required it. If promise could have bound
them, they would have been bound to Judaism
all their lives-in the language OF masonry
they were ''perjured wretches."
Every convert from Idolatry breaks his
promises to the Idol faith--but no moral or
religious obligation. Let us look abroad
through the world, the light from Bethlehem
| is spreading over the world-thousands are
turning from the worship of Devils to the true
faith--they are all seceders-they were bound
as firmly to their false worship as masons to
masonry-and in the language of Masonry are
lall Hperjured wretches."
When Washington drew his sword for his
country, he broke the oath of allegiance to the
king, he and all the Patriots of the Revolutions
lwere, in the language of Masonry, "perjured
lwretches."
The glorious Polanders now fighting for
liberty, are in masonic language, all ''perjured
wretches."
All, who from time immemorial have resist
led Tyranny, all who have burst the bonds OF
lsin-are just such 'perjured wretches." Com
mend us to these ''perjured wretches"-we
would live and die with them-When this is
perjury, truth is lie.
Masons hate these men, vice hates virtue
always; but if antimasons despise them, anti.
masons should be ashamed.
But where is the evidence that antimasons
ldespise them? Is it in fact that Seceders are
Iamong the most respectable of our fellow citi
zens? Because, Golden, Merck, Ward. Holly
Rush, and host of others are secedes;
The seceder Ward is one of the three mem
bers of the National Antimasonic COMMITTEES
this we Antimasons call high post of no
nor-there is no contempt here.
Merck was President of the Massachusetts
Antimasonic Convention Antimasons though
that an honorable situation.
The seceder Rush, is talked of for the An
timasonic candidate for the Presidency of tn,
United -States-We are not ashamed of him.
But there is one class of people we are asham
ed of-there is one class who if not ''periuret
wretches," have at least forfeited all claim t,
;. consistency and truth--We mean those masons
!. who pretend to disregard masonry, are thes'
ii perjured wretches pretend to be willing tc
give it up. and at the same time most bitterly
III denounce seceders.
n What shall we say of these men? Accor
ding to their own statement. thcv are s'periur
ed wretches." But in what light will anti
masons look upon them? In what light viii

SERENADE.

LADY! sleep for thy lovers sake,
Though Heaven is bright and the air is balm
The stars look down on the sleeping lake.
For the wind is hush'd in holy calm.
sleepI and the visions Of bliss attend,
That visit the couch of the pure and fair
The sportive legions of Fancy lend
Their soft enchantment to bless thee there.
Sleep! for the world has nought like this
In the weary circuit of busy day
No ioy like that of the dreamer's bliss,
No light like the Hastings of Fancy's ray.
Then sleep in safety, while stealing round,
The soften'd note of my light guitar
Shall charm thy slumber with gentle sound,
Till Phebus shall mount his golden car.
Sleep! till the fingers of rosy Morn
Shall draw the curtains that veil the sun,
Till the young day from the skies be born
Then wake in beauty, my fairest one! 5.

POETRY
From the New York American.
AND THOU VERT FALSE!

AND thou vert false so let it bel
If DER that shrine of beauty rare,
There bends unchecked strangers kee;
A strangers's heart may worship there!
Thy wizard wreath is changing fast,
As fades at eve the sunset sea;
And Memory, when it views the past,
Must skip the page that tells OF theei
I little thought when DER thy heart
NV Spirit poised her raptur'd wings;
And trembling tried, with guileless art,
To wake the music of its strings;
That every chord, where passion slept,
An echo gave of needless swell;
That every string the Angel swept,
Another's touch might wake as we'll;
That, like the Tyre, which hangs alone,
Where summer winds are wont to plays
-Twould Weld to every breeze its tone,
Which DER its bosom chanc'd to stray!
Forget'st thou, in that Silly bower,
Which dropping myrtles whispered o'er'
The pledge we gave of glowing power.
In token Of the VOW we swore!
When DER thy yielding form hung,
And crav'd it for my spirits shrine;
And gathered from thy trembling tongue,
The low response that seaPd thee NINE!
And thou vert false!--so let it be,
If DER that shrine of beauty rare,
There bend'st unchecked strangers Knee
A strangers heart may worship there!

Horscs.-The following remarks upon horses are copied from the publication of an eminent farrer in Europe; and we think them worth the perusal of the farmers generally.
 "The pulse of horse in health is from 36 to 40 beats in minute, and may be easily felt by prefix ing the finger gently upon the temporal artery, which is situated about an inch and half backwards from the corner of the eye.
 Horses have not the faculty of puking, or even belching wind out of their stomachs and therefore are peculiarly subject to wind cholic.
 When horse has been over-ridden, bloody spots may be seen in the whites of his eyes.
 A Timber dock is sure evidence of a Timber back that is a weak one.
 A horse that is hardy and good for business, has short back bone, which terminates forward of the hip bones.
 A decoction of white oak bark will kill botts by tanning them and they will become so shrvelled as scarcely to be discernable when discharged.
 The principal signs of good horse arc these:- The eyes are set apart in the head, and large and bright; the qurl high in the forehead; one or two in the neck is good sign; the neck well set on high; the shoulder blades pretty high, and converg- ing to pont the breast full and ladge, and so also behnd the body round for flat bodied, or sIab-sded horses are weak natured; the dock stff going wide behind for if the gambols knock together It shews that the horse is feeble; chemihg the bit when pro- voked is good sign.
