The Lady Free Mason

The Hon. Elizabeth St. Leger was the
only female who was ever initiated into the
ancient and honorable mystery OF Free
Masonry. How she obtained this honor we
lay before our readers, promising that our
information is derived from the best sources.
Lord Doneralle, Miss ST. Legers father,
very jealous Mason, held "A warrant aud oc-

THE yACKDAw.

There is bird who, by his coat,
And by the hoarseness of his note,
Might be supposed crow
A great frequenter of the church.
Where, bishop like, he finds perch,
And domitory too.
Above the steeple shines plate,
That turns and turns, to indicate
From what point blows the weather,
Look up--your brains begin to swim,
IT'S in the clouds that pleases him,
He chooses it the rather.
Fond of the speculative height,
Thither he wings his airy tight,
And thence securely sees
The hustle and the razee show,
That occupy mankind below,
Secure and at his ease.
You think, no doubt, he sits and muses.
On future broken bones and bruises
If he should chance to fall
No; not single thought like that
Employs his phllosophic pate,
Or troubles it at all.
He sees that his great round about,
The world with al its motley rout,
Church army physc law,
lis custom and its businesses,
Is no concer at all of his,
And says-what says he cav!
Thrice happy bird too have seen
Much of the vanites of men;
And sick of having seen 'em,
Would cheerfully these limbs resign
For such pair of wings as thine,
And such head batWeen em.

A Singular Phase of Insanity.

Some thirty years ago, young lady, the
only daughter of a noble house, in the
north of Germany, from having been one
of the most cheerful girls, became subject
to fits OF the deepest melancholy. All the
enlreatles of her parents were insufficient
to draw from her the reason of it, Totheir
affection she was cold, to their 5aresses
rude; and though society failed to enliven
her, she bore her part in it with a power
and venom of sarcasm that we're as strange
to her former character as they were unbe.
coming her sex and youth. The parents
conrved, during her temporary absence
from home, 10 Investigate the contents of
her writing desk; but no indications Of
concealed or Disappointed passion were to

papers had been removed.
The first news they heard of her was,
that the house in winch she was visiting had
been burned to the ground that she had
been with difficulty saved, though hei room
was not in that part of the building where
the fire had commenced: that her escape
had at first been taken for granted and
tina, when her door was burst open, she was
found still dressed, and seated in her usual
melancholy attitude, with her eyes fixed on
the ground She returned home, neither
altered in manner or changed in demean r,
and as painfully brilliant in conversation
when forced into it. Within two months
of her return, the house was burnt TO the
ground, and her mother persisted in the
flames. She was again found in the same
state as on the former occasion, suffered
herself to be led away without eagerness OF
resistance. did not alter her department up.

A shrek that pierced through the apart

Mr.. Webster died, and after his recovery was
despaired of, one of his physicians approached
his bedside and asked how he found himself. e |
feel like the Jackdaw in the Church Steple," was
the strange reply. The physician withdrew sad
ly from the bedside to another part of the room,
where some members of the family were stand
ing together. and, shaking his head, confessed
his apprehensions that the brain OF the dying
statesman was affected, that the stately oak was
perishing at the top. He could see no method
in the answer which his question had received.
One of the ladies present, who knew Mr.. Web
ster better, did not believe his mind was wander

him wha; he meant by saying he felt like the
jackdaw in the church seeple. "Why, Cow

did not remember Cowpers delightful translation
OF one OF Vincent Bourne's little poems. entitled
