MoDEsTY.-Modesty adorns virtue as
bashtulness ornaments beauty: it harmoni-
zes with a Just sense Of character, as simplici-
ty enhances greatness. It adds to merit the
same charm which candor adds to goodness
OF heart. What is modesty? Is It not a
sense Of excellence so deep and true, that
the observance of duty appears a natural
thingg Is it not so sincere a desire for what
is excellent that what is wanting is much
more perceptible than what is already OBJ

good, that it forgets the reward reserved for
merit in the appreciation Of OthersP

says Frederick Bremen, the importance which
certain people set upon outward beauty or
plainness. | am of opinion that all true ed
n%cation, such at least as has a religious foun-
dation, must infGse a noble calm, 4 whole
some GOODNESS, an indifference, or whatever
people may call it, towards such-like outward
gifts, or the want Of them. And who has
not experienced of how little consequence
they are, il Sct, for the veal OF woe Of life
Who has not experienced how, on nearer ac-
quaintance, plainess becomes beaati6ed, and
beauty loses its charm, exactly according to
the quality Of the heart and mind? And
from this cause ] am also of opinion that the
want of outward beauty never disquiets a
noble nature, or viii be regarded as a misfor-
tune. hneverc can prevent people from being
amiable and beloved in the highest degree,
and we have daily proof Of this.
e. To be a woman Of fashion is one of
the easiest things in the world. A late wri-

SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.
The Vicksburg Wing gives the following
extract from al English paper, illustrative Of
the artiquity Of Free Masonry
Stree Masonry, we are informed, was re-
dueed to rules at the building of solomon's
Temple, and there IS every reason to believe
that some bond Of union was necessary in such
a eongregated mass of workmen.

ing the temple was one hundred and thirteen
thousand SIX hundred, besides the men of
burner, not Free Masons, who amounted to.
