e5 REWARD.

- REWARD.
TAKEN from my Store. on tho 9Th instant by
GEORGE WHEATON ALLEN, late publisher
of the Moral Envoy, in this village, one Black
LACE VEIL. Whoever will return the said Allen,
with the Veil shall receive the above reward,
PAUL COOK.
Fall River, Dec. 27, 1880.
NoTE. We take the liberty to draw
an inference from the above fact, accord
ing to the rules of Anti Masonic logic
Example. VIM. Morgan was killed; kill
ing under certain circumstances is muir
dcr--and murder ispunishable with death:
therefore the men who killed Morgan,
ought to hanged Morgan was killed by
Nlasons--thoso who killed him commit
ted murder: therefore, Masons are mur-
dcrcrs. Those who commit murder are
murdercrs--murderers ought to be
hanged: therefore, ,Masons deserve death
Example. A silk veil was stolen from
Paul Cook; stealing is felony; felony is
punishable by imprisonme mt therefore the
man who stole it ought to be imprisoned.
Paul Cooks veil was stolen by an Anti
Mason; the person who stole it was a
thief; therefore, Anti-Masons arc thieves.
A man who steals is a thief; thief is a
fclon; fclons ought to be imprisoned;
therefore, Anti-Masons ought to be i'm
prisoned.
Corollory.-Gcorge Wheaton Allen
was an Anti Mason, consequently, all
anti-masons are George Wheaton Allen.
George Wheaton Allen steals silk wells;
all anti-masons are George Wheaton AL
len; Therefore, ,all anti-masons steal lace
wells. Ed. Chron.
SYMPATHY WITH THE SEAMAN ADUTy.
The life and occupations of the Mari
ner are of such nature as forcibly to al
feet every feeling heart. There is not a
human being more worthy of our sympa-
thy and kind regard than the sailor. He
whose whole life is scene ofhurry, con-
fusion and distress-whose habitation is
the tempest tost vessel-whose home is
the broad ocean, he does indeed deserve
high place in our hearts. Far separa-
ted from us, as he is, by the wide extern
ded waters, we can indeed render him
no personal assistance; but the assurance
that there are those who think upon his
condition--who sympathise with him in
sorrow-affords infinite satisfaction, new
or failing consolation. This, it is our du-
ty to afford. 1t is the duty of every one
to reflect upon the condition ofthe sailor,
and to osympathise with him. When waves
arise and tempests beat, and winds rush
furiously, how much peace and comfort
does the "poor ship boy" derive, from
the belief that there are many hearts
sympathlsing with his;many prayers offer
cd for his safety, many tears shed for his
mislortunes. Othcre is mighty, a mag
ic power in sympathy, which sweetens
the bitter cup of disappointment, and
smooths the rough and rugged road of
distress, and by none can its power and
worth be so truly felt and so justly ap-
prcciated, as by the tcmpest-tosscd mar
incr
if then, such be the case how should
our hearts be affected by the condition
of the seaman. How ought our pity to
be excited by his distress. How desi-
rous ought we to be, that the poor sailor
should enjoy the consolation, that whilst
storms are raging, billows be ating ,surges
swelling all around him, there are kind
and feeling hearts, from which arc as
ccnding to the throne Of God, fervent
prayers for his safe deliverance. lie
must be destitute Of the feelings Of hui
mnnity who cannot sympathisc with tho
suffering seaman. Every storm, every
