Free MASONRY an France.-The cores
pondent of the Sunday Times says that
''there is just now what Sir Lucius O'Trig-
ger would call "a pretty quarrel as it stands,
between the Roman Catholic clergy and
the Order of Free Masons The clergy are
opposed, individually and as a body, to So
cieties in which secret oaths are taken.-
They consider, or affect to consider, Free
Masonry as inimical to religion. In this
opinion they are decidedly in error They
fancy, also, that the Free Masons are libe-
raj in politics, which is generally true, as
all enlightened minds soar above oppres-
sion and combat for Justice; but Free
Mason is not necessarily, as such, an ultra
liberal. George " and all his brothers
belonged to the order, and held various Of
fees in it. In France, Prince Napoleon,
Lucien Charles Murat, only surviving son
of Napaleon's General and Caroline Bona
parte, is Grand Master of Free Masons,
with the fullest sanction of Napoleon III,
his cousin. [ have sat with him in dodge
and can youch for his being "a good work
ing Mason Several of the Bonaparte fa-
mily, and nearly all the great officers of
State, are Masons. The whole BODY in
France number $4,000, and a subscription
of fifteen francs a head is now on foot
making capital of $24o,0Oo-which is
to be defense fund, to maintain the pri-
vileges of the Order, and to make public
through the press the proofs of its genuine
catholicity, as manifested BY its including
among Its members believers of all faiths
which recognize the Deity in his mighty
works"

whipping Children.

"A cllllu WHO IofSeIS 10 oDey It's parents
is often more than sufficiently punished by
Withholding kiss, or looking sorry; for
every child should be so accustomed to
caresses and terms of endearment that they
would be as necessary to its. happiness as
daily bread; when they are SO, parent
who does not govern too much will be able
to enforce all necessary commands by look
ing and refusing caresses until won by re-
|pentance: LII NO case should they be lon
ger withheld. Whenever a child is sor-
ny for doing wrong and asks to be forgiv-
en-, the reconciliation should be complete
and no after mention made Of the offence.
Never retail a child's faults and punish
ments to another, or call up the memory Of
past errors,
In extreme cases where a child purpose
ly and wilfully refuses to obey, or resists,
be sure you yourself are calm, and if not,
wait until you are, and then punish it uni
til it yields. The best plan is to take it
for granted that all naug htiness is sickness
and must be cured by abstinence or the
wet sheet bath; so, give refractory child
nothing but bread and water, or pack it a.
way in a wet sheet. Do this gravely and
firmly as in case Of bodily illness, not as
if you do it for vengeance or for punishment
but as discipline, necessary to restore it to
health. In this there is no deception, for
a child of violant or sullen temper has al
ways some impurity in its blood which may
be removed by these means. Treat all
mental impurities as physical diseases
treat them perseveringly on the hydropha-
tic principle, and you cannot fail to bring
up obedient, pleasant tempered children.
In case of great violence Of temper, there
may be occasion for immediate physical
force. Ms, Richards principal Of the Phil
s1asipnia scnsql for idiots, relates of one
iittie girl. tnat Sc was SO violant that she
would drive every one out of the room,
break and tear everything in her reach. and
scream frightfully. Ii One Of her naroy-
yms, after using commalss to no n,irnose
he placed a napkin across her mo,.a lnva y.
ding it firmly at the back of her head, leav-
ing hernostrils free but effectually stopping
all sound from her mouth. Taking both
her hands in his right, and holding the
napkin with his left he calmly held her,
waiting for her to yield and SO continued
to hold her for sac hours. By that time
she was calm, protested repentance and
promised obedience. Once again he APP.
| Piled the same remedy, but only for half an
hour, and she became pleasant child, par.
ticularly fond of him. Punishment fol-
children should consist,a most, in restrain
| and that no more than is necessary to O.
vercome their resistance and make them
feel the parent or guardian is stronger than
lthey-that they can restrain them and
will but only for their benefit. No pun
ishment should assume the appearance Of
revenge, and should always be administer
ed by a person in perfect command Of his
or her own temper. No one should at
tempt to govern child until he has ac-

"PIrrsr1ELp, July q, 1854.

lEesSrS. S. BO'oJes 6 Co., Gentlemen-I no.
tice in your daily of the 2lst, that in giving
the dolngs of the Mass Convention at Wor-
cester, on the goth, your reporter makes you
say, after naming the committee to report
resolutions, "This committee retired under
the marshalship of Gen. Wilson," sc.
1t is due to truth for me, as Wing mem
Der of that committee, to make this statement,
that the Chairman called for the committee
to meet at the Treasurer's office, in the City
Hall, and with as little delay as possible the
Committee were together. So far from the com
mittee being led by Gen. Wilson to and from
the Committee room, he was not seen by the
Chairman after the organization of the Con-
vention. The committee consisted, believe,
of three Wings, one Democrat, and two Free
Sellers.
The resolutions as reported, lin the absence
of the Free Soilers,) would have been the
same.
The resolutions, | think, will meet the
minds of three -fourths of the voters of this
State. Should the same feelings be carried
out at the convention of the Republican party
on the 10th of August, in the selection of can
didates for State officers, as was exhibited in
the Committee on Resolutions, l cannot but
hope it will secure party connected together
in principle that will not only ensure success
in this State, but encourage like movements
| in other States, so that the great mass at the
North can and will act together, to put a stop
| to the aggressive power of slavery.
The great mass care but little for party, and
much prefer to unite to carry out great prin-
ciple, rather than hold on to old party organ
izations. Truly yours,
WALTER LAFLIN."

Snow ARCH. One Of the greatest curiosities
ever witnessed at the White Mountains, is now
to be seen at ''Tuckerman's Ravine, about
three miles from the Glenn House. 1t con-
sists OF an arch Of pure snow, spanning the
brock that tumbles over the rocks, from the
summiIs of the mountains. The ravine is the
receptacle of all the snow that blows from the
top of Mount Washington, and there can be
no doubt that during the winter it accumu-
lates to the depth of several hundred feet. AS
the brook begins to run in the Spring, it wears
its way through under the snow, which grad
ually melts away at the approach of Summer,
making the cavity larger and larger.
On the 18th of July, this ravine was visited
by ID. 0. Macomber, ESQ.,, in company with
Mr., ]. II. Spaulding, of the Summit House,
and Mr.. Davis, the Engineer of the White
Mountain Carriage Road, by whom the arch
was measured. 1t was found to BE- $50 feet
long, "a wide, and 40 feet high, on the inside
and 266 feet long, and 40 feet wide on the
outside. The snow forming the arch is 20 it.
thick.
The gentlemen above named, walked thro'
the arch, in the bed of the brook, and ate
their dinner at the foot of the cataract which
falls thousand feet down the side of the
mountains
The arch is on the southeast side of the
mountain, and is exposed to the rays of the
sun during most Of the day. Last year it re-
manned until August 10th, when a warm rain
of several days continuance melted it away.
1t is possible that this year it may last through
the season.-PortlGnd State of Maine.
