ANOTHER SECRET ORDER IN Boston

ANOTHER SECRET ORDER IN BOSTON,
The order of " United Sons of America
is now organizing in every ward of tn
CITY. This order, we believe, is regular
ly chartered by proper authorities, SINH
lar TO the Masonic institution. 1t date
back to 1928, having been consolidate,
with the " Sons of Liberty" in Cincin
natl, Ohio. Its object is reported to b
both patriotic and benevolent. In poll
tics this " order" is said to be in favor {
the principles advocated by the Nationa
Native American party, which assemble.
in old independence Hall, at PhiladeI
phia, in 1915, and join their brothers il
the South in keeping out all other ism
from their ranks in national point {
view. One camp of the "order" ha
been instituted in Boston some six year,
We hear that they have now camps il
the first, second and third wards, an,
members enough to hold the balance {
power on plurality election. None bu
- true blue" Americans can get into thi
secret political order, as it is said mem
bers proposed are we'll looked after

The sHOEMAKRR.


Tbs shoemaker Sat amid wax and leeths.
With lapstone over his knee.
Where, snug IN his shop he defied all weather,
Drawing his quarters and sole together;
happy old man was he.
This happy old man was so wise and knowing,
The worth of his time he knew;
He bristcd his ends, and he hept them going,
And felt to each moment stitch was owing,
Until he got round the shoe.
of every deed that his wax was sealing,
The closing was firm and fast,
The prick OF his awl never caused a feeling
OF pain 20 the toe; and his skill in heeling
Was perfect, and true to the last.
Whenever you gave him a foot to measure,
With gentle and skiltul hand
lie took Its proportions with looks Of pleasure
As if you Were giving the costliest treasure,
Or clubbing him lord Of the land.
And many one did he save from getting
A fever, or cold, or cough;
For many a foot did he save from wetting,
When. whether in water snow twas setting,
His shoeing would keep them off.
When he had done with his making and mending
With hope and PEACEFUL breast,
Resgning his awl, rs his thread was ending,
He passed from his bench 10 the grave descending
As high as the king 10 rest.

A TEMPERANCE STORY.-One evenin,
last week we took our place at the sup
per table of Cincinnati and Louisville
packet. Supper and conversation had
progressed some before we were seated
An animated discourse was going on
'twixt an exceedingly sober-faced lady
NO less than thirty years old, on the sub.
ject of temperance.
"Oh" exclaimed she, with horror de-
picted on her thin lips, 81 do despise the
whiskey drinker.
The gentleman dropped his knife and
fork, seized her hand and giving it a
hearty shake, we thought tears were 90.
ing to drop from his twinkling eyes.
Madam" said he, q respect you,
sentiments and the heart that dictated it
I permit no person to go beyond me il
despising the whiskey drinker. l have
been disguised on this very boat, and ]
say it now before our worthy captain
face. What, [ ask you, can be more dis
gushing than to see well-dressed, respec
table, aye, yirtuous looking young men
whose mothers are probably even now
praying that the tender instruction b
which their youth was illuminated, may
bring forth precious fruit in their matu
rity. say, to see such young men stel
up to the bar of this boat, and withou
fear of observing eyes, or the condemna
ton of enlightened opinion, brazenly ask
for old Bourbon or Rye, or Monongahels
whiskey, when in that bar they know
there is the very best of Old Cogniae
Brandy"
