"Great is Truth, and mighty above all
things" is a sentiment that has been verified
times unnumbered, since it was first spoken
BY the early patron Royal Arch Masonry.
Aud we are about to give another, exempli.
fication of the mighty power Of Truth which
will forever put to rest the unfounded clamor
raised against the members Of the Masonic
fraternity, by interested politicians, noisy
brawling demagogues, persons of bad char.

sion into the Order as well as some Of the
lukewarm among US, who joined in the hue
and cry that was raised, in the supposed alb.
duction of William Morgan, who it was said
carried forcibly away from lis family and
friends in the village of Batavia, in the State
of New York, the llth day of November
1926, by certain members Of the Masonic
Order, and who they first killed and then
threw into the Niagara. The persecution
that ensued in consequence Of this falsely
vile report will long be remembered by the
fraternity through out the world. The ag-
tators, and aiders and ahetturs in circulating
such an unfounded falsehood, will ever be
held in detestation, while those who concur
red in the persecution Of the members Of this
Institution, will always be denounced by the
good and virtuous OF every community, as
men Of the most atrocious and wicked char.

The truth is, William Morgan was never

tance soon placed US upon the platform OF
friendship, out Of which grew confidential
intercourse. He gave me his history. He
was born and reared in this city. Served
an apprenticeship to the tanning business in
the " Swamp" and while in that business
visited a bowling saloon. and in Il few years
after his first visit to that saloon he became
an expert ten.pin player. From this he took
one more step, that of visiting billiard sa.

was induced to play "Pool." He won.-
And had the evil consequence of that nights
play been summed up and spread before him
in unmstakable characters representing his
fate, he nor no other human being could
have with$tood immediate death, so great
and terrible would have been the shock; but
the interpositinn of Providence ordained it
otherwise, and his doom was sealed. Two
months after the success of that night he
made the fatal pledge, and became con-

+ The True Wife,

She is no true wife who sustains not her
husband in the day of calamity, who is not,
when the worlds great howu makes the
heart chill with anguish, his guardian angel,
growing brighter and more beautiful as mis-
fortunes crowd along his path. Then is
the time for trial Of her gentleness. then is
the time for,testing whether the sweetness
of her temper beams only with transient
light or like the steady glory Of the morn
ing star, shines as brightly under the clouds.
Has she then smiles just as charming! Does
she say, "Ailliction cannot touch our purity,
and should not quench our lovel" Does
she try, by happy little inventions, to lift
from his sensitive spirit the burden Of
thought!
There are wives-nay, there are beings
who, when dark hours come, fall to repining
and upbraiding-thus adding to outside anx-
ety the narrowing scenes Of domestic strife
as if all the blame in the world would
make one hair white or black, or change
the decree gone forth. Such know not that
our darkness is heavens light; our trials
are but steps in a golden ladder, by which,
if we rightly ascend, we may at last gain
that eternal light, and bathe forever in its
fullness and beauty.
"Is that all!' and the gentle face Of the
wife beamed with Joy. Her husband had
been on the verge Of distractiou-all his
earthly possessions were gone, and he feared
the result of her knowledge, she had been
so tenderly cared for all her life" But, says
lrving's beautiful story, "a friend advised
him to give not sleep TO his eyes nor slum.
Der to his eyelids until he had unfolded to
her all his hspless case.
"And that was her answer, with the smile
OF an angels that alis feared by your
sadness it was worse. Let these beautiful
things be taken--all this splendor let it go;
care not for it--I only care for my hus-
bands love and confidence. You shall for.
get in my affection that you were ever in
prosperity--only still love me, and | will
aid you to bear these little reverses with
cheeriulness." :"
Still love her! she man must reverence,
yea, and liken her to the very angels, for
such woman is revelation from Heaven.

institutions of our country. His wife was
Il member of D. C.--'s Church, in which he
purchased pew, and where she and her
infianliIe charge seated themselves for years,
Without ever having the husband and father
to accompany them. And let it with shame
and sorrow be remembered that the holy
Sabbath nights are the New York gambler S
harvest time, the time when he makes the
money which gives his family such an envia
Bile position in society.
AT the end of this period he had the sa-
gasity to discover The instability Of the gam
bIer's wealth His means were row over
twenty-five thousand dollars; his children,
excepting the two younger ones, were well
educated, and though gambler, no man
loved his family better nor took greater pride
in furnishing them with means to keep them
above any odium that mil ght revert to them
through their fathers unhallowed profession.
One day, while seated upon his gambling
chair, he came TO the conclusion that, that
night should close up his gambling career.
Twenty long years of dreadful excitement,
high living and broken rest, had diseased his
body, and his iron constitution began to
give way under it. He played during that
night, aud the next morning he sold out his
interest in the game aud fixtures of the room,
and left for his residence. Here he assem-
bled around him his wife and eldest children
male and female, and related to them his
intention to retire from profession which
he knew would end in sorrow, disease and
death, and bring shame and disgrace upon
his ofsprings. They were members of
Christian church, and he thought would be
delighted with such intelligence, although
they had never given vent to their displeas,
ure at his course Of obtaining them an envia-
bic pnsiton in society. He was a creduIous
man, and believed their silences significant
OF their tner feelings for him as their parent.
But OH! how great was his surprise when
he unbosomed his plans and declared his
future intentions to follow some more hon.
oraJe though less lucrative business.
Like unclaimed maniacs they rushed into
each others embrace, and declared that
they were utterly ruined, and would have
disgrace heaped upon them. They never

The Next Issue.

We publish in another column leadrngi
editorial Of the New York Courier and En.I
quirer, drawn out by the reelection of WI
Fl. Seward to. the United States Senate.
The Courier takes the occasion to recountl
the achievements of abolition in filling theI
Senate with its ,minions and, with an air of|
great sanctimony, it lays the whole resppn.
sibility of this growth OF anti.slavery oasthel
repeal of the Missouri Compromise itis'
the sacred regard for compacts that bas|
armed the North for this new crusade. The]
Courier does not recall, in this connections
that there is constitutional compact for the
delivery Of fugitive slaves, which the North
has always rendered practically a dead let
ter by the intervention OF mobs, screened
by the general willingness TO see the South
deprived OF the benefits OF the compact.
Again, the Courier forgets to remember that,
there was compact made in 1888, defn.a
ing the conditions of future tariff laws with
remarkable explicitness, and that the instant
the North had the power, they spurnrd the
conditions Of this compact, and forced upon
US tariff worse than that which had before
aroused the spirit Of just resistance. May.
the Courier forgels that this same Missouri,
Compromise, now paraded as a sacred
treaty, and which the South submitted TO
rather than provoke intestine strife, was de.
nounced and vilifed by the great majority
OF the Northern people, and that after they
had obtaued the concession of the prohibit
ton of slavery in the Northwest, they still
resisted, with might and main, tue admission
of Missouri into the Union.
Now all these things are very necessary
to be recalled, and to be weighed and pom.
dered, in making up Judgment or the SIM
cerity OF the North III this matter oil regard
to compacts; and the result will be, that the
North has strong desire for the fulhln,enty
of conditions by which she is TO be a mani,
fest gaiuer, and al utter contempt for those
which promise no advantage. We may,
therefore, dismiss the matter Of principle, as
an ilnpertinent intrusion in this question: and
take it up as naked issue of fact. =.
