A Masonic Movement.
We find the following announcement in the

We find the following announcement in the
Richmond Dipatch:
We understand that one or more Of the Mason
c Lodges of this city have originated plan for
the purchase Of Mount Vernon, which, il taken
hold Of in earnest by the brothers of the mystic
tie throughout the Union. cannot fail Of success.
The plan proposed is to get the subordinate
lodges to contribute one dollar for each member.
The price asked for the Mount Vernon estate is
$500 600, and the Masonic statistics show the or
der numbers three hundred thousand so that if
all the Lodges in the Union accede to the prupo-
siton-and the probability is that they wlll-the
purchase of Mount Vernon may he looked upon
as fixed fact. But the suggestion, as given out,
does not stop here.
When the land which contains the last mortal
remains OF the immortal Washington is possessed
by the MasOns they propose to present 1t to the
State of Virginia, only rescrqng TO their order
the right to meet around the tomb of their de-
ceased brother once every year. tocelebrate his l-
peTlshabie deeds and Okecp alive his great name.
We have strong faith in this patriotic plan for the
purchase Of Mount Vernon, knowing, as we do,
that the order from which it emenates are ever
ready for good deeds, aud never look back when
they put their hands to the plough. Let "veGy
true Mason feel that the tomb Of Washington eau
only be preserved from decay by his efforts, and
but few short months will roll by ere it Will be
the property Of That State which gave him birth,
and to whose keeping alone his ashes should be
entrusted.

The Grave of the beautiful.
PART srcoxp.-BY GEO, d. PRENTICE

PART SECONn,--Bn tEu' u INhNllNE'
Alas 'tis hard oh. very hard to feel
That she is dead Drear months have wandered by
Since on this spot we heard the solemn words
OF dust to dust, and slowly turned away,
With breaking hearts and streaming eyes TO seek
Our darkcned homes, but yet her living thought
Still dWells within cur breasts, and will not leave
Our hearts all desolate. Oft when we muse,
At this calm hour Of evening, by the dim
And mourniul llre-light, silent and alone,
Her form comes stealing thro' the shadowy gloom
lIolier and loveier even than in life,
Like 4 soft star cleaning through silver mists,
Or like some beautiful and lovely thing
Seen in a sad, sweet dream And often when
The pale and solemn glory Of the moon
Comes az a gentle guest at midnight deep
Within the lonely chamber, she is there
silent, but oh, how passing beautiful,
A thing on earth, but not of earth, her brow
llallowed by Gods own signct
Der this mound
Where all that's mortal of our lost one lies,
The light winds lmger in the locusttops,
And in their low 4Eolian melodies
We seem to hear the same sweet music tone
That perished long ago. And as we guze
Up where that tone is born of breeze and bough
A holy shadow falls on eye and heart,
As 'twere the passing of an angels wing
Across the twilight sky. All. Ills not well
That we should mourn with bitter tears her 1lght
Thus early from the earth, for she is now
A lovely blossom on the tree Of life,
Blooming forever in Gods paradise.

placed very conveniently for peepiag, To seize

his captors and the offender received many a

a WAAnINdroN correspondent of the Charleston
Mrctny thus describes the personal appearance
Of Mr. Buchanan, formerly and at present:
! remember the appearance Of Mr., buchanan
in the OIdcn times. when jackson was President.
when he was broad, firm, strong. and energetic
in appearance, and quick in motion He is now
quiet in his movements. gentle in his manner, and
seemingly conscious Of the necessity Of constant
care Of himself az well as Of every thing else. His
fcatares are longer, and his skin has that soft
white appearance which we only see in elderly
persons of temperate life aud abstinence from
outdoor exposure. The pictures represent him
as having a crooked neck but this proceeds on-
y from difference in the foci of his eyes which
he ought to have had remcdled by the optcian in
carly life. The eye Of lesser power he advances
toward the object he looks upon, and of course
deprcsses the opposite side Of the head. often
pass him in the evening hours, within or near the
Presidential gardens His honors rest so easily
upon him that those who talk with him, like him-
self forget that he is President, and they think
only OF the urbane gentleman.

Give Him u Trade,

IF education Il the great buckler and shield of

give your son, equally with good education, a
good honest trade. Better any trade than none,
though there is ample field for the adaptation Of
every inclination in this respect. Learned pro-
fessons ind speculative empioyments may fail

never--if its pOSScssor chooses TO exercise it.
Let him feel, too that honest labor crafts are
honorable and noble. The men of trades. the
real creators of whatever is most essential to the
necessities and welfare of mankind, cannot he
dispensed with; they, above all Others, in what.
ever repute they may be held by their more fas-
tidious felows must work at the oar OF human
progress. or all is lost But few wn-handed
trade workers think Of this, or appreciate the
real position and power they encompass.
Give your son q trade no matter what fortune

him trade and educational any rate trade,
With this he can always battle with temporal

Independence with moderate education than all

IHE JAPANEsE.-In personal appearance
the japanese are fair. and have a pIeasine
expression Of countenance and their urbapi
y and kindness TO strangers, as well as to
each other, are very remarkable. During the
time we were in the ports, although our decks
were daily crowded with them, [ never saw
the smallest expression of annoy snce or bad
temper; and whenever any thing that was
likely to be curious or interesting to them was
pointed out to their notice, instead Of pushing
and crowding to get sight of it, es the Eng
lish would do under similar circumstance,
each man seemed most anxious to occupy as
small space Of room, and to impede his
nelghbor's view of the object, whatever 1t
might be, as little as possible. In short, they
appear to be naturally a kind hearted and
polite people -H0tiOran'S Jzpan.
