that can possibly exist Is with regard to the means
best adapted to the securement Of the end. We
understand that the plan Of circulars addressed on
the part Of the Managers Of the Monument to the

Our plan proposes TO commence with the high.

Council Of the United States will act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they in turn
will exert similar influence upon the subordinate
councils. The system will be thorough, and con.

effects. Nor Is this mere theory, INFESTED and

DoS'r DO IT.--Never make use of an honest wo-
mans name in an improper place, at any improper
time, or In a mixed company. Never make asser-
tons about her that you think untrue, illusions
that you feel she herself would blush to hear.
When you meet with men who do not scruple 10
make use Of u woman's name in most reckless
manner, shun them, for they are the very worst
members Of the communty-men lost to every
sense Of honor, every feeling Of humanity.

these are precious stones which can never be lost

A WORD TO BoYs.-Who is respected? II is
the boy who conducts himself well, who is honest,
diligent, and obedient in all things. 1t Is the boy
who Is making effort continually to respect his
father, and to obey him, whatever he may direct
to be done. 1t is the boy who leaves effort un-
tried to improve himself in knowledge and wisdom
every day. who is busy and active in endeayoring
TO do good acts toward others. Show me boy
who obeys his parents who is diligent, who re-
spects age, who always has friendly disposition,
aud who applies himself diligently to get wisdom,
and to do good towards others; and, If he is not
respected and beloved by everybody, then there
is no such thing as truth in this world. Remember
this, boys, and you viii be respected by others,
and grow up and become useful men.

An Angel OF Patience.


Beside the toilsome way,
Lowly and sad by fruits and flowers unblest
Which my worn feet tread sadly, day by day,
Longing in vain for rest
An angel softly walks,
With pale sweet face and eyes cast meekly down,
The while from wthered leaves and howerless stalks
She waves my fitting crown.
A sweet and patient grace
A lock of firm endurance, true and tried,
OF suffering meekly borne rests on her face,
30 pure--so glorifed.
And when my fainting heart
Desponds and murmurs at its adverse fate
Then quietly the angels bright lips part
Murmuring softly wait!"
"Patience" she sweetly saith
"The fathers mercies come too late;
Grid thee with patient strength and trusting faith,
And firm endurance --waitl"
Angel!-behold--I wait
Wearing the thorny crown through all lfe's hours
Wait till thy hand shall open the eternal gate,
And change the thorns to fowersi

the system for the change of seasons. An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action, and
restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood and by their stmuiant action on the circula-
tory system renovate the strength of the body, and
restore the wasted or diseased energies Of the whole
organism Hence an occasional dose is advantageous
even though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
necessary dosing should be carried too far
every purgatve medicine reduces the strength, when
taken to excess. The thousand cases in which q
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves 70 the reason of every body
