A LADY FREE MASON.

The Hon. Elizabeth St. Leger the only
female ever initiated into the ancient mystery
of ofFreemasoDry. How she obtained this honor
We shall lay before our readers. Lord Doner-
ale, Miss St. Leger's father, was very zeal
Gus Mason, held q warrant, and occasionally
opened Lodge at the Doneraile House, his
sons and some intimate friends assisting and
it is said that never were the Masonic duties
more rigidlv performed than by them. Pre-
vious to the initiation of gentleman to the
first steps Of Masonry, Miss st. Leger, who
was a young girl. happened to be in an apart
mcnt adjoining the room generally used as
lodge-room. This room, at the time, was I'M
dergoing some alterations-among other
things the wall was considerably reduced in
one part. The young lady having heard the
voices Of the Free Masons, and prompted by
the curiosity natural to all to see this mystery
SO long and SO secretly locked up from public
view, had the courage to pick brick from the
wall with her scissors and witnessed the cere-
mony through the first two steps. Curiosity
satisfied fear at once took possession of her
mind. There was no mode of escape, except
through the very room where the concluding
part of the second step was still Being SOL
emnized, and that being at the far end: and
the room very large one, she had resolution
sufficient to attempt to escape that way; and
with light and trembling siep glided along
unobserved, laid her hand on the door, and
gently opening it, before her stood grim
looking Tyler, with drawn sword.
A shrek that pierced through every apart
ment, alarmed the members of the Lodge who
all rushed to the door, and finding that Miss
ST. Leger had been in the room during the
ceremony, in the paroxism of their rage, re-
solved on her death but from the moving
| supplcation of her younger brother, her LIE
was saved on condition of hsr going through
the whole of the solemn ceremony she had un
| lawfully witnessed. This she consented to
and they conducted the beautiful and terrified
Young lady through those trials, which are
| sometimes more than enough for masculine
resolution little thinking that they were TAX
| ing into the bosom or their craft member tha
would afterwards reflect lustre on the annai
| OF Masonry. The lady was cousin to Gen. An
thony St. Leger, Governor of St. LuciL, VIII
| instituted the interesting race and the cele
brated Doncaster St. Leger stakes. When
ever benefit was given at the theatres il
| Dublin or Cork for the Masonic Female Or
| phan ASYLUM, she walked at the head of th
Free Masons with. her apron and her insigni'
of Free Masonry, and sat in the front row
the stage box. The house was always crowded
| on these occasions. Her portrait is in th
| lodge-room of every lodge in ireland.

OLD WINTER Is COMING.
BY HANNAH Z. COULD.

II As--'N-afi IObi-D.
Old Winter is coming again-alack
How icy and cold IS be
lie cares not a pin for 3 slIiycring back
He's saucy old chap to white and TO black
lie whistles his ehills with wonderful knack,
For he comes from a cold country,
a witty old fellow this Winter is
4 mighty old fellow for glce,
Tie cracks his jokes on the pretty sweet miss,
The wrinkled old maiden unfit to kiss,
And freezes the dew of their lips-for this
Is the way with such fellows as hcE
Old Winters frolicsome blade, 1 wot-
He is wild in his humor, and free!
He'd whistle along for the want of his thought
And set all the warmth of our furs at nOusht,
And ruffes the lace by pretty girls bought
For frolicsOnc old fellow Is he
Old Winter is blowing his gust along,
And merrily shaking the tree
From morning till night he will sing his song.
Now moaning and short--now bowling and long
Ills voice is loud. for his lungs are strong
merry old fellow is he
Old Winters wicked old chap, ween-
As wicked as ever you'd see
He withers the flowers so fresh and green,
And bites the pert nose of the miss OF sixteen,
As she triumphantIy walks in niaideniy sheen
y wicked old fellow is he.
Oid Winters tough old fellow fog blows,
As tough as ever you'd see
lie will trip UP our trotters, and rend our clothes
And stifTen our limbs from fingers to toes
lie minds not the cTy OF his friends or his foes
tough old fellow is be,
cunning old fellow is Winter, they say,
: cunning old fellow is he
He creeps in the creyices day by day,
To see how we re passing our time away.
and marks all our dongs from grave to gay
I'm afraid he is peeping at me

KANsAs.-The Special Session of the new
Territorial Legislature of Kansas, called by
acting Governor Stanton, has been held and
we believe it is hardly pretended that its acts
contravene the pledges made by the leading
Free-State men to Stanton to induce him to
call it. The Legislature has provided for
fair and full submission on the 9TH January OF
the Constitution lately framed at Lecompton-
such submission as Mr.. Buchanan says nc
would have preferred, and Mr.. Douglas says
must be had-cnacted stringent provisions a
gainst Illegal voting and fraudulent returns
provided for an organization OF the Mliitia'
which will render it difficult for the invading
Border Rufiians of Missouri hereafter to pre-
tend to be Militia of Kansas-and resolved in
favor of the Topeka as against the Lecompton
Constitution.
The vote at the election on the 2Ist was
meagrc, and the Lecompton Constitution fofth
Slavery was adopted by large majority.

You will not consider me rude-for prudery,

said or done something which. in company,
they fcigned had shocked their extremely sen
SitiYe nerves and supcr-eXalted ideas OF re-
fincmcnt and proprety. Ard yet these same
lassieS will indulge in all the frivolous contri-
vances of fashion, no matter how unbecoming
and indelicate they may be. Whenever l see

with each other in their efforts to initiate the
monkey, or some other representative OF the
ape tribe. Whenever | see one of these hairy

Why was Gen. William Walker sent to New
York, to be transported at public expense to
New Orleans, instead Of being forwarded di-
rect to the place of his final destination Was
it to allow him the opportunity Of consulting
with his friends in this region and at Washing
ton before going through the comedy of tri-
al for the violation of the neutrality laws, in
which he is to take a part at New Orleans
And how long is it likely he will be allowed to
remain in Washington in charge of United
States Marshal, all at the cos. of the Federal
Treasury There are some curious things in
this world, which are not SO well understood
by outsiders as by those who arc within the

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

CALVES AND YoUSG CATTLE.-Calves must
have good keeping through the first winter or
they will prove small and inferior cattle. The
best of hay should be fed to them and in the
fore part of the winter, they should have fine
rowen. In the latter part they will be older
and more able to manage common merchanta-
BILE hay They require less warmth than COWS
and old cattle, and they are frequently kept in
open sheds. But they need something in our
long winters in addition to good hay. They
are more often costive than older cattle, and
they need something to counteract this ten
dency. A little meal given daily will do
them no harm-oats and Indian are the best.
But roots Of all kinds are good. Apples are
good for them, but apples should be crushed.
1t is not a good idea to tie the calves by the
head in stalls. Three or four of them may be
Kept in pen loose without risk, as they can
not use their horns with much effect. When
kept in pens they require great deal of care
to keep them clean and dry. 1t is surprising
to see what quantity of good manure may
be made in winter from few calves. In
many places leaves may be gathered rapidly
at this season by the roadside. and we see no
better way to dispose of them than to put them
in the calf pen. If you have no calves put
the leaves into the hog pen for nests.
Yearling cattle wintered at less expense,
and our farmers here prefer to buy such in
preference to calves. But calves must be
wintered somewhere, and farmers in the far
interior are unwilling to sell very low after the
first winter. Young cattle more than year
old will live on straw and poor hay,-but they
look better in the spring when they have had
roots and hay. Water in abundance should
always be supplied, and the water should be
brought to the cow yard.-lMass. Plo,cmaa.

The RIGHT TALK.-A plain spoken writer
gives the following advice to those young men
who .sdcpcnd on father for their support,
and take no interest whatever in business, but
are regular drones in the hive, subsisting on
that which is earned by others:
ssCome, off with your coats, clinch the saw,
the plow handles, the axe, the pick-axe, spade
ANYTHING that will enable you to stir your
bloodl Fly around and tear your jacket, rath-
er than be passive recipients of the old mans
bounty, Sooner than play the dandy at dads
expense, hire yourself out to some potatoe
patch-let yourself to stop hog holes, or watch
the bars; and when you think yourself enti-
tied to resting spell, do it on your own hook.
Get up in the morning-turn round at least
twice before brcakfast-help the old gentle
man-give him now and then generous lift
in business-learn how to take the lead, and
not depend forever on being led and you
have no idea how the discipline will benefit
YOU. Do this, and our word for it, You will
seem to breathe a new atmosphere, possess a
new frame, tread new earth, wake to new
destiny-and you may then begin to aspire to
manhood. Take off, then, that ring from your
little finger, brake your cane, shave Your up
per lip, wipe your nose, hold up your head,
and by all means never again eat the bread oi
idleness, nor depend on father

CHINESE RELIGIoS.-S missionary, long res
idcnt in China, says The priests of both
these sects (Bndhists and Tairfsts) shave their
heads, wear peculiar garb, and are forbidden
to marry. Both sects have monks who shut
themselves up in cells to exclude worldly OBJ
jects; and nuns who take VOWS OF cDasti'y,
and shut themselves up like the monks In
their worship. they haze the same mummeries
and man@uvres, bowling and genufiexions,
marching and countermarching.
