Pretty ThOughts,
DAKOTA,

What Is crime A wretched vagabond
travelling from place TO place in fruitless
endeayor TO escape from justice who is
engaged in hot pursuit; a foe to poor In
nocence which IS often made to suffer for
the guilty.
What is thought? A fountain from
which flows all good and evil intentions
a mental food, electrical in the force and
rapidity Of its movements, silently flow
ing unseen within its avenue-yet it is
the controlling power of animated nature,
and the chief handspring Of all our ac-
tionS.
What IS h1ppinessa A butterfly that
roves from flower TO flower In the vas,
garden of existence, ana which is eager
" pursued by the vain multitude In hope
Of obtaining the prize; yet it continually
evades their grasp.
What is fashion A beautiful enve-
lope for mortality, presenting a glittering
and polished exterior, the appearance Of
which gives no certain Indication Of the
real value of what is contained therein
What is witl A sparkling beverages
that is nightly exhilerating and agreeable
when partaken of at the expense of 9th,
ers; but when used at our cost it becomes
bitter and unpleasant.

EarII DAYS or FreemasaIllg.

About tWo years since, the Herald con-
tanned an account Of an old poem on the
early history Of FreemaS0nry, written
sometime in the fourteenth century, and
discovered few years since among The
ancient manuscripts In the Briiish Muse
nm. In looking over some Old volumes \
few days since. we Glanced On fitting
companion 10 the poem in Ia shape Of
certain euestS0ns and answers slative to
Masonry, written BY Henry VI rf Eng
land. and Published in the works 1f John
Leylands. 40. antianarY uho LIKED ~ he
reign Of Henry VII.
According to the manuscript, Freema-
sOnry IS the ''skill Of nature, the under
standing OF the might that is therein, and
It's sundry. teachings" Il is also the sim
of reCkonings, weights and measures Of
making houses, and sal odher thynges
that make guide tOmanne.
Masonry commenced in the east,
whence ii was brought BY the Venecians,
who spread It wherever they traded. One
Peter Cover, a Grecian, becoming ini-
tiated iniEgypt, formed lodge in Greece.
whence the arr spread into France and
England. Masons have from time to
time communicated to mankind such Of
their secrets as might be useful, reserv-
ing those that might do harm ia evil
hands, and those that were necessary to
keep the unworthy out Of the craft The
arts taught mankind by the Masors, were
Agriculture, Architecture, Astronomy,
Geometry, Numbers, Music, Poetry,
Chemistry, Government and Religion
The first Masons received direct from
God the power'of discovering new arts,
and the craft still retain that power. All
discoveries made BY those out Of the craft
were made by chance, whilst Masons find
out new arts when they please. The Sc
crets concealed by Masons are, the art of
finding new arts, and the art Of keeping
secrets, 50 that they conceal what they
choose from the world, but the world can
conceal nothing from them. They con-
ceal the art Of wOnder-working, the pow
er of wonder working, the power of pro-
phesying, "the arte of changes, the way
of wynnage, the facultye Of Abrae," the
skill of becoming good and perfect without
the help of fear or hope, and the univer-
sal language of Masons.
Several other points are treated on IL
this curious relic, but the most Interesting
portions are given in the above brief Sy,
nopsis, which may probably interest some

An Intelligent witness.

Not many years ago a criminal case
was tried in which one Ben - was a
material witness for the state. The
charge was that one Foster made an at
tempt to kill one S. with 4 four pound
weight. Ben was a stout strong man,
with huge lungs, and not in the habit of
refusing social drink with friend. He
was only tolerable good natured fellow
when he had ga brick in his hat,'' and
feasted on the details of fisticuff with a
good relish. Ben was called up by the
state, and politely requested to tell all he
knew about it, After squaring himself
round time or two, and adjusting his
quid, he began in his peculiar nasal
voice:
"Well, we all went in to the sale-thar
was big crowd thar-some was drinkin'
and some wasn't was, Judge, sortar so
myself. Well, Noel Hales was thar try
ing to buy an old spotted sow that run
close to him. Noel is good feller, Judge,
but he amt smart; he went to Jackson
orist, and his daddy got out of sight, and
he went about axing every man he met,
'whar's daddy o.
go On, Mr., tell US al about the
fight"
swell, as was sayin', Noel wanted
the sow, and was afeard he couldn't buy
her without getting some one to stand for
him, and told him if he would make
safe I'd do it or die; and he said he'd
pawn his gun, but IT was at Wingate's
shop to be fixed. / told him, 'all right,
Noel, ii shan't break squares with Us, no
how. Well, Noel he bid three dollars
and dime, or quarter, and can't say
which, IN tke POsifire.
$50 on, sir, if you please, about the
fight"
"Well, give me time 10 fetch Il round
right. Well, Noel didn't get the SOW
/ because John Wall bid MORN she wa.
wuth. Well, then the next thing a COW
was put up, and Foster bid ten dollar:
and quarter for her, and she was knock.
ed of to him, Foster said he only bid ter
dollars, and s. said he bid ten and Z
quarter. They got to disputin', and
thought enough had been said for a mar
to fight onst, but Foster took it. They
kept on jawerin', and at last S. IolC
Foster he'd be-ef he'd scrupluate.-
Foster said he'd be-ef he'd comboli
cate from what he said. Well, about thi
tine Ifelt dry, and went over to the dog
gerry With several. and we al tuck stii
drink. / tuck mine with sweetenin', Judge
Well Noel Hales seemed hurt about no
/. getting the sow, so / says, Noel, let
have some music to make Us feel better.
Sez he, Ben ] know you are . friend Z
me, and eff You'll get Abe Lard 10 plal
'Cotton-eyed JOe,' I'lltreat to half a pint.
Well, in this time we hearn the fuss owe
! the way, and went out, and who shoul
{ we see but S. lying down on tie piezzel
!, and Foster as pale as skinned milk. Sc

one said, Ben, they have already fit."
