THE SONG OF THE MASONS.

We meet upon the level and we part upon the
square
What words of precious meaning those words Ma
sonic are
Come let us contemplate them-they are worthy
of a thought
With the highest and the lowest and the rasest
they are fraught.
We meet upon the level, tho from every station
come,
The King from out his palace, and the poor man
from his home;
For the one must leave his diadem outside the
Mason's door,
And the other get his true respect upon the check
er'd floor.
We part upon the square, for tho world must
have its due;
We mingle with the multitude, cold, unfriend-
ly crew
But the influence of our gatherings In memory is
green,
And we long upon the level to renew the happy
scene.
There's world where all are equal-we are hur-
rying t'ward it fast;
We shall meet upon the level there when the
gates of death are past
We shall stand before the Orient, and our Master
will be there
To try the blocks we offer with his own unerring
squares
We shall meet upon the level thcfe, but never
thence depart
There's mansion ever ready for each trusting
faithful heart
There's a mansion ana home, and multitude
is thete
Who have met upon The leve! and been tried up
on the square.
Let rs meet upon the level then, while laboring
patient here
Let US meet and let us labor, tho the labor be Sc
we're
Already in the western sky the signs bid us pre-
pare
To gather up our working tools and be triea up
on the square.
Hands round, ye faithful Masons all, the bright
traternal chain
Yc part upon the square below to meet in hea-
again,
Oh what words of precious meaning those words
Masonic are
We meet upou the level, and we part upon the

POKER PLAYN0.--John Green, the Reformed
Gambler" used 10 tell some pretty tough yarns
about the Western gamblers, but the folowin &
anecdote takes the rag clean or bis parsimmon
bush. We find the article " bobbng around "
among our exchanges but don't know who is re-
sponsbe for its verifcation
"The poker-players on the Mississippi River
are, from all accounts, bad customers and many
are the dreadful stories that are told about them.
A party on board of one Of the Mississippi boats,
while earnestly engaged in this famous game,
were much annoyed by tall gentleman, who,
with sanetmonious visage and hollow tone,
preached against the wickedness Of their ways,
as be walked to and fro beside them.
Ever and anon, in the earnestness OF his dis
course, he stopped behind one of the players,
and, as if to render his words more impressive,
brought his hand down heavily on the table. A
rough backwoodsman observed that this action
was attended with popularity, inasmu6h as the
preacher sometimes placed ono sometimes three,
and sometimes four fingers on the table. with
out saying n word, he quietly drew bis Bowie
knife, and placed it by his side. Watching his
opportunity when his clerical friend again placed
his hand on the table, quick as fash ho chopped
off three fingers at a single blow. The pretended
clergyman started back with panic and alright.
"' Sir said the baekwoodsman, cooly wipng
his knife, you may consider yourself deVillsh
lucky that l did not hold fours, or you would
have lost all your fingers

Dirt and Bcnutyt

Such is the title of All article we find in an ex-
change, and as it contains some good sense and
some intensely interesting theoretical consdera-
tions says the Buffalo Advertiser, we introduce
it to our roaaets And first upon the subjC ct of
LEGS.
The handsome, well-devclopod legs oil the Pa
risian women, so boldly displayed to the admira-
tion of the traveller, have been attributed to the
dirty streets Ly Dr. Atnttt, Vito is an excellent
authority on female and male anatomy. lie tells
us that the efforts of the pretty little French feet
to pick their way through the mud and the hab.
itual poising of the weight of the whole body
upon the toes, cause powerful Itihstular strain
and q CONSEQUENT large development of the fe-
male calf
Now this is interesting. if true. The present
style Of skirts, and the universal prevalence of
muddy pavements, afford large opportunities for
the study of the subject ; and it Would be we'll
to watch the gradual developments of muscular
extremties, under the present favorable circum-
stances.
We close with the following comparative
statement" of the two methods of crossing d
dirty street:
|. Ho,o then do il in Paris.-Mark how with
one hand she gathers up her drapery fairly lift
ing it from the ground, but still allowing 1t to
hang with d graceful negligence, so as to show,
with an artistic lrregularity OF rcVeiaUoh, her
well-turned feet and ankles. You might sup
pose that she had borrowed living grace from
lie famous Venus of Milo, in the Gallery of the
Louvre.
2. Hd,o thsy do ii in Nsto York.-Now look at
the New York belle, clutching her gown with
her two hands, as If she we're afraid of sudden
trundlng away of her hoop, and crossing the
dirty street like blowsy country woman fording
creek. The newly adapted female boot is not
favorable, we fear, 10 either feminine grace or
the picturesque in woman's steps. 1t Justifies a
upon a pair of female boots plodding through
the mud of New York, we are reminded Of negro
Pompey's legs in pursuit of woodcock in the
swamp The exercise is good and healthful, but
it must be confessed to be rather trying to the
taste for the beautiful.

KENTUCKY Jus1IcE.-Mayor Foley, of Coving-
ton, KY, dispcnses justice after fashion of his
own, and in a way we would recommend to our
own magistrates in cases where husbands are
brought before them for ill-treating their wives.
The following anecdote is related of him:
Some months since a man was arrested and
hyought before him for whipping his wife The
Mayor fined him and let him 60, but within few
weeks the chap was again arrested for the same
offence this time his honor imprisoned him, and
after serving out his time he went home and
anain abused his bettcrhnf, and notwithstanding
the Mayor fined and imprisoned the fellow for
each offence, he would persist in his vile behavior
The Mayor, after trying for months to reform
him. had we'll nigh given up the task until one
morning this hero Of hundred fights " (wlth
his wife) was arraigned on the old charge.
Well, said his honor" suppose you think /
am going 10 fine your"
II dunno % said the cuprit
Perhaps you imagine will imprison you y
continued the Mayor.
~ expect So" was the answer.
II shall do neither said the Mayor. dis

The fellows countenance began to brighten
nm when his honor adjourned the court, and after
steppnr to the door invited him outside.
q Now. YOU mean devil !" said Mayor Foley,

tired of H. and yet you persist in il-treating your
wife. will now tell you that If ever hear oi
vonr abusing that woman again, III whip you

Now, travels"
The Mayor has never heard from that fellow
since.

HE'S COMING.

He's coming the blushing roses
Whisper it low to me,
And the starlight hastens with it,
Over the twilight sea.
All trembling the zephyrs tell me.
On light wings hurrying past.
Aud my own heart quickly beating,
Coming, coming, at last.
The soft-lipped waves of the ocean,
Gathering at my feet,
Breeze borne from the coral Islands;
Murmur the secret sweet
There's not q dew-steeped blossoms
Or glistening orange tree,
But turneth its leaves glee- laden;
To breathe this joy to me.
List that is the sound of rowing
Stealing along the air,
| must gather round my temples
This weight of braided hair;
And trust to the growing darkness.
And evening shadows dim,
To hide with their wings the traces
OF tears Pve shed for him.

EFFECT or EDWARD EyERETr's ELooUENcE.-
A letter from st. Louis, speaking Of the effect Of
Mr.. Everett's Literary Address, at the inaugura-
tion of the University, says :-.' During the day
of Inauguration, one gentleman, who had before
given $l2, 900. added $40, 900; and another, who
had given us $50 900, added s27 900, to our en-
dowment. When Mr.. Everett closed, st. Louis
millionaire, who had listened almost entranced
by the spell thrown around him, declared that
he must be permitted to build an observatory for
us, and asked to do IL at his own expense, with
