There was considerable activity at the Board to-
day in Railroad shares but for both Baltimore and
Ohio, and Northern Central the market weaker,
and in the latter stock there was heavy decline,
the sales showing falling ofin tsince the close yes
crday of S14 per share. 1t is supposed that of
the parties who have been contending for the control
Of this road has retired from the contest, and also
from the market, and that the stock has dropped off
in consequence. The sales of Northern Central to-
day add up 400 shares at from S23 down to S22

fell off to-day half dollar per share. There is no
speculative movement going on IN this stock, and
there is but little demand for it except for delivery
on contracts made time since. There were

The New Orleans Bulletin remarks
concerning the masonic fraternity of the
United States
Here is body OF men, composed of
all classes and professions. entertaining
every kind Of opinions upon religion and
politics, and existing iu every State Of the
Union. who come together and exhibit
among themselves the utmost harmony
Of feeling and action. No word of oppro-
brium escapes from any one to. insult and
wound the feelings Of another. No fierce
anathema Of sections is heard. No ex
travagance is indulged in. Everything
is done decently and in order. Every.
thing is quiet. gentlemanly. respectful,
digni6ed. The bitterest political enemies
meet face to face. and you shall never
know by their actions or word that they
do not belong to the same party. ReIig-
iOnists the most opposite embrace each

up the foundation Of order. and send the
tornado over the fair face of society,""
1t then asks why the Christian churches
do not profit by the example afforded
them by this philanthropic fraternity
Quoth the Bulletin
"But what is the secret of their unan-
unity. of their harmony. Of their brorherly
love, of the conservative front which,
without tremnr. they maintain. and the
general commotion: hatred and fanata-
cism existing around them? &? 1t is found.
it seems to strike US. in one wOrd-tolsra>

BETTER THAN LAw.-After the war
which proved so disastrous to Logan, that
he could say, There runs not a drop Of
my blood in the veins of any living crea-
ture." he lived in Mrflin county, Pennsyl-
vania. and supported himself by killing
deer and dressing their skins, which he
sold to the whites. He sold a quantity
to one DeYong, a tailor, who dealt
extensively in buckskin breeches. Logan
received his pay in wheat by agreement.
The wheat on being taken to mill was
found to be so worthless, that the mil
ler refused to grind it. After trying in
vain to obtain redress, the case was taken
before a magistrate and on the Judges
questioning him as to the quality Of the
article. Logan sought in vain for words
TO express the name Of the article with
which the wheat was adIlteraIed, but
said that it resembled wheat itself. 1T
must have been cheat," said the Judge.
Yuh' said Logan, "that very good
name for him." A decision was given 10
Logau's favor. and a writ given him to

would bring the money for the SKINS
But the untutored Indian-too uncivilized
to be diSAOneSt-could not comprehend by
what magic the little paper would force
the tailor against his will to pay for the
>kins. The jldge took down his own
commission, with the arms OF the king Of
England upon it. and exclaimed to him
the first principles of civil law.

STANZA AS.


When I was playing on the shore
+ or life's upheaving sea, "
Before the waves beg un to roar
!. Or storms begun their glee, ...'
How beautiful the visions that
Came smiling INTO me aHE
The waves were dashing at my feet
AlIinnocent OF strife,
The fragrant breeze that kissed my cheek
With melody was rife,
Anon, heard mournful blast '
Upon my sinless life.
Behind me one by one cast
The golden grains Of sand,
But each grew darker than the last
That dropped from out my hand;
Anon, heard a nournful blast
Come signing DER the strand.
I see these golden grains ofsand
That lay upon the shore,
Which was so beautiful ere that
The waves begun to roar
o! would to God that could grasp
Such golden grains once more!
'Tis all in vain stretch my hand
To pluck them up again
How fair thew smile upon the shore
Where they so long have lain
How black the sand noD run ming out
BY life's tempestuous main
The sky that was above me then
Was of the fairest blue.
The sea that lay heneath my feet
Reflected back its hue;
Enchanted isunds down the bay
Uprose before my view.
The witching cadence of the wind
Was music to my ear,
Its melody ran through nv soul
And claimed happy tear
Alas that flow, rs which bIossomed then
Should be 10 deck a bicr.
What boots it thct the stream still flows
When every thing is gone
The grass, the violet, the rose
That hloomed its banks upon
To cheer no life, but pass away
In vapors to the sum-
And who can bide to look upon
The oceans grassy tide,
And see it smiling over those
Who lived, and laughed, and died,
While naught of life is on its waves
That roll so far and wide
LIES ocean changes every hour,
Now desGlate, now gay;
The storm now darkens DER the flood,
The sun now lights the buy,
Yet ne'er dreamed that morn so fair
Could bsing so dark day.
AS now wandered by the main
Where loud tho wild waves roar
turn my longing vision back
To youths enchanted chain;
Alas! those days OF happiness
Can como to me no more.
