HOPE.

HOPE is the continuing sunshine of the
heart, and while the breathing spirit holds fell
lowship with earth, the darkest clouds of adj
versity can never eclipse its brightness. II
the past hath been but a sorrow and weari-
ness, and the days OF happiness are to the soul
las visions, half hidden in the gloom which has
pointing to the dim, distant future, whose
darkness is ever gilded with its holy rays.
The power of memory has oftelIstsosnseo nsider-
led the greatest prompter of our happiness; but
when the soul, overwhelmed with bresnt sor-
rows, turns to the past, and sees in the mirror
| OF memory only reflection of its dreariness,
the retrospection could not sustain and enliven
ITS progress, were not the future illuminated
Iby Hopes unfading radiance.

MASONIC MURDER.

We have Just received letter from Alaba-
ma, detailing one of the grossest outragcs that
ever has elisgraced the country. Altho' bear
ing all the marks of authenticity, the transact
tions are too shocking for belief. We give place
Ito the account, but must at the same time wish
for further confirmation Of the statement, be-
fore we can place confidence in it, we scarcely
can believe that men would be SO infatuated,
so blind to their own destruction. lift be true
however, and if such fragrant acts as this;
does not seal the fate of masonry---if it
does not cause every man in the country to
rise up and crush this hell-born order, there is
then no more virtue in the people.
The particulars, which are as follows, are
given by an eyewitness, to thet transactions.
Two gentleman, named ROBERT r LIV-
|INGSTON, and ISAAC r THACKARA,
were appointed managers of the general cleo
ton in Autauga county. They were ant-ma
sons and the anti-masonic party were about to
carry the day, when the masons swore that
every one of the few anti-masons, who yet re-
manned on the ground should be slain with
knife or club. They Immediately commenced
their attack, and succeeded in numbering
Messrs. Livington and Thackara, monging
their bodies too in the most shocking manner.
About 10 o'clock, a number of anti-masons
collected and returned to the scene of outrage
to take the murderers. Before however they
got back, the murderers were furnished with
horses and money, and the three actually en-
Gagged in the murder were by their companions
guarded to place of safety. These individu-
ais were G. W licknzis, Garter B. Conner
and Zachariah CorerriM The others of the

RED LION~FAVERN,

below Wilmington. New Castle County, on
the 18th ofSeptember next, at 10 o'clock A. M.
for the purpose of dominating Delegate, to
attend the Baltimore Anti-Masonic Conven-
ton, on the Goth Of said month-And also, for
transacting any other business calculated to
promote the good cause. 1t was further re-
solved, That an earnest invitation be given to
all persons throughout the county (and else
where if convenient who are opposed to
cret associations, to attend said meeting and
assist in the business thereof.

masonic gang who did not actively assist in the
murder, but who interfered to prevent the
rescue Of the victims, by the anti-masons, were
Abram Sewell, Hartman Green, William Casey,
John Brindrige, John Young, VIM. Mitchell,
VIM. ]. Clarke. John ]. Clark and several
others whose names are not recolected.
Thus, if the above be true, have we new
and, alarming instance of the vindictive spirit
and bloody deeds of masonry. We see in
this example that it is not only political, but
that it will trample on the the laws Of God and
man to compass its ends. We see too, the
tragedy of Morgan, reacted, the lawless vii
lians projected, and their escape facilitated by
masonry. Eew long viii the people slunlber
liz imaginary sscurity-how lone will they re-
main blind 10 the dangers that surround them.
.et them awake from their letharsy and reeol-
lect that their rights and dearest privileges,
yea, their lives are at stake.--Let them rise
in their might and swear upon the alter of
patriotism, that the existence Of masonry is at
an end, and they are freed from its bloody
lyoke.

ANTI MASONIC.

From the 'Anti-masonic Herald, and Lancaster
Weekly Courier copy the following report, con-
corning recent murder of two citizens of Alabama,
named Robert r. Livington and Isaac r. Thackara.
IF the report be true, and the offending party persist
in setting at naught, the laws of land with mpun-

had long haunted her, and from which she
had turned away, as if it were sin TO look upon
it, now stood before her-a dreadful and nn-
eseapable vision Of reality, There was one
burst of passionate tears---the overflow OF that
fountain of affection which quenches the last
ray of hope in the desolate bosom, AND she
was calm-for the struggle was over, and she
gazed steadily and with the awful confidence
of one whose hopes are not Of earth, upon the
dark valley of death, whose shadow was al
ready around her.
1t was beautiful evening Of summer, that
saw her for the last time. The sun was just
setting BEND long line of blue and undulated
hills, touching their tall submits with radi-
ance like the halo which circles the dazzling
brow of an angel--and all nature had put or

Oh--no--I do not fear to die,
For Hope and Faith are bold;
And Life is but a weariness-
And Earth is strangely cold
In view of Deaths pale solitude
My spirit hath not mourncd---
IT'S kinder than forgotten love,
Or friendship unrctuined!
And could pass the Swallowed land
In rapture all tho whle---
II one who now is far away
Were near me with his smile.
1t seems drcary thing to die
Forgotten and alone---
Undecided by our dearst love"--
The smiles end tears of one!
Oh! plant my grave with pleasant flowers,
The farest Of the iar---
The very flowers he loved to twinc
Attwilight in my hair -
Perchance he yet may visit them,
And shed above my bier
The hottest dew of funeral flowers---
Affections kindly tear!'

1t was the voice Of Emily-it was her last
song She was leaning on the sofa as enter
ed the apartment--her thin white hand resting
on her forehead. She rose and welcomed me
with melancholy smile. It played over her
features for moment, flushing her cheek with
slight and sudden glow-and then passed
away, leaving in its stead, the wanness and
mournful beauty of the dying. 1t has been
said that Death is always terrible to look upon.
But to the stricken Emily, the presence of the
Destroyer was like the ministration of an angel
of light and holiness. She was passing off to
the land OF spirits like the melting Of sunset
cloud into the blue of demonstrating from
existence like the last strain of ocean music
when it dies away slowly upon the moonlight
waters.
A few days after, stood by the grave OF
Emily. The villagers had gathered together,
one and all, to pay the last tribute of respect
and affection to the lovely sleeper. They
mourned her loss with deep and sincere la
mentation-they marveled that ono so young
and so beloved should yield herself up to mel
ancholy, and perish in the spring time of her
existence. But they knew not the hidden
arrow which had ranked in her bosom-the
slow and secret whitening of her heart. She
had borne the calamity in silence--in the I'M
complaining quetude of ono, who felt that
there are woes which may not ask for sympa-
thy afflictions, which like the canker con-
cealed in the heart of some fair blossom, are
discovered only by the untimely decay of their
victim.
