Masonic.
The Relation between Masonry and
Christianity.
By REV. ". u. WILLIAMS.

Let none be deceived, while recommend
so earnestly the principles of morality and
virtue, and rejoice in the good to be accom-
plished by masonry. | must in candor say
to the fraternity that It's Christianity alone
that can disperse the gloom of death, and
shed halo of glory around the tomb. Mo-
rality and the principles Of masonry may
shed their benign influence upon us through
life and down to the gates ofdeath but then
n stronger power is needed Religion can
span cold Jordan's stream, ride its stormy
pillows in triumph and conduct us safely to
the port of eternal rest, where the wicked
cease to trouble and the weary soul finds
sweet rcpose. Let Inc eXhort you my brcth-
rem not only to be moral men, and Masons
good and true, but to be Christians in expe-
iience and Christians in practice, servants of
Christ and children of God. Let the solemn
impression made on your mind when you
first bowed at the masonic altar toinvoke the
blessing of Deity upon the step you were a.
bout to take, continue to grow and strength
en- and bring forth fruit to the honor and glo-
ry Of God. Then shall you be permitted to
''eat of the hidden mania, and white stone
shall be given you, and in the stone u new
name, which no man EEoweth, save him that

virulcnce along the coast from Kinsale to
Clonakity The crop in that district this
year was about the same average breadth as it
had been for the last three years, but in yield
and quantity it had been greatly superior
tnlol tunately, however, in no year has the
tuher been so rapidly des'" ,Jed. The potato
melts away almost when attacked. Whole
fields have been abandoned as not being worth
the cost of digging. With regard to the 9TH
er crops in that district, the same correspon-
dent states that wheat has been found not
nearly so productive as in 1858, oats on the
other hand much more prolific, and barley
less in produce, but far better in quality and

The ASHES or CoLUMBus.-A Cathedral
in Havana claims the honor of shcltcring the
remains of the navigator. a recent Traveller
thus describes the place:
"a mural tabled in the choir, on which is
bust Of the llustrious Genocse in altp-rcief
informs the public that all that is mortal of
him reposcs there that whilst he has left the
country he discovered, to be the home of
prosperous millions, he has made a voyage to
still more distant land, from whence no
traveller returns. One Of the officials, who
had an eye to business during the services,
presented me with card telling the story of
the hcgira of these illustliols bones. Though
Columbus died a, Nalladolid in Spain, lis re-
mains were not permitted to rest there
They were first transported to a Cathnsian
monastery, at Seville next they were moved
across the seas to st. Domingo, and finally
they were discnterred and brought to lla-
vana. Here in the Antilles, with which the
discovery has rendered his lame immortal,
and had so intimate connection, it is fitting
his dust should repose. The land which his
hcrosm revealed to an astonished and admi-
ring world may well afford him enough
wherein to sleep his long sleep"

RoBrrSG A BnIpE OF HER BEp.-The S

RoBEISG BRIDE OF HER BED.-The st.
Louis Democrat is responsible for the follow
ing:
At Mayors boarding house in St. Louis, an
unusually merry wedding came off on Tues
day night, and the dance was prolonged till
past one in the morning. The bride and groom
then repaired to their Apartment, but-horri-
bill vissue!-thc bed and bedding had been
sacrilceiously stolen from the nuptial bedstead
Some vindictive wretch had gained felonious
ingress at the rear, and effected robbery un-
para!leled in the history Of matrimony. Itis
cenjeetured that so fell vengeance could only
have been devised and executed by some dis
appointed lover of the bride.
Lives there man with soul so dead
Who never TO himself hath said"
The scamp who stole the bridal bed
Deserves to live and die unwed.
With maidens old to punch his head.

Correspondence Of the London Times.
DUBLIN, Tuesday Morning,-Thc Irish
war journals are making spasmodic efforts to
impress their readers, including the scattered
members of the Phoenix Cubs, with the idea
that something portentous looms in the visit
to Europe of Mr.. John Mitchell, the great
champion of vitriol bottles ut home aud of
slavery in the southern states Of the Union
1t appears to he settled matter that the in

THE POTATO DISEASE.
The Cork papers will have it that the blith

actual appearance there has been several times
noticed in the local journals, but this morn

than usual, and is no longer set down as fly
ing rumor. The Examiner of last night says:

tricts, for many miles around the city, pota-

How RAILS Is FORMED. TO understand the
philosophy of this phenomenon, essential to
the very existence of plants and animals, a
few facts, derived from observation, and a
long train Of experiments, must he remcnl-
bcrcd Were the atmosphere everywhere at
all times, at uniform temperature. we should
never have rain, hail or snow. The wafer
absorbed by evaporation from the sea and the
eurth's surfsce would descend in an mpercep-
thle vapor, or cease to be rated. The alb
sorhing power of the atmosphere, and conse-
qdently its capability to retain humidity, is
proportionahly greater in warm than in cold
air. The air near the surface of the earth is
warmer than it is in the region of the clouds.
The higher VIC ascend from the earth the cold
er we find the atmosphere. Hence, the per-
p"tual snow on very high mountains in the
hottest climates. Now when from contin-
ucd evaporation, the air is highly saturated
with vapor, though it he invisible if its tenn
pcrature is suddenly reduced by cold currents
descending from above, or rushing from u
higher to lover latitude. its capacity to re-
tain moisture is diminished, clouds arc form
ed, and the result is rain. Air condcnses as
it cools, and like sponge filled with water
which its diminished capacity cannot hold.
How singular, yet how simple is such an ar
rangemeut for watering the earth.

THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

Ifiuhscribers order the discon,inuance o'
leir newspapers, the publisher may conhnne
0 send them until all arrearages are paid.
lfsubscribers neglect or refuse to take t'elr
newspapers from the Office to which they are
directed, they are held responsible until they
nave settled the bills and ordered them dlscon-
tinued.
If subscribers move to other places without
informing the publisher, and the newspapers are
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
sponsble.
The courts have decided that refusing to
tkat newspapers from the office, or removing,
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia
ayidence of intentional fraud.

Young Mcn Pay Your Debts.

As one of the priveleged ones of which the
great public is made up, we sometimes feel it
our duty to give to the rising generation a
few words of advice, and none better could
we give than the heading of this article
Keep out Of debt. If you have an income,
circumscribc your wants so as to keep within
the limits of that income. What use have
YOU for that fine scarf, those kids, that rattan,
that immense seal ring, gold fob chain, aud
diamond pin? Your income does not justify
such Xpenditnrcs-you are not Just to your
self or the merchant who is willing for the
sake of your family to let these things go ON
his books against you. Know before you
bny and have charged that champagne, BRAN
dy and cigars, how are you to pay for it, do
not run up an account of ten, twenty or fif-
ty dollars without you are certain that when
pay day CONES, You will not be ashamed to
| show your face to the person who is gencr-
Gus enough to you and mgcnerous enough
to himself to let you have these articles ION
the faith that you would pay when called on
because you cannot face the music. How do
J YOU feel after having been reminded several
times that there is little charge on the books
against you, to meet your creditor at every
corner with little bundle of papers in his
! hand? Does not the sight of constable
give you chill? Are you not constantlyin
fear that your parents or guardian will call
you aside some fine morning and ask you to
explain how it is that such an account has
been presented to him? Reflect on this
young man, ponder it well, and our word foi
| it you will one day thank us for this advice

COUnseIs to the Young.

Never be cast down by trifcs. If spdc
breaks his web twenty times, twenty time
will hc mend it again. Make up your mind'
to to thing, and you will do it. Fear moi
if trouble comes upon you keep up youl
spirits though the day may be dark one:
"Troublcs navcr last forever,
The darkest day will pass away y
If the sun is going down, look up to the
stars if the earth is dark, keep your eyes on
heaven. With Gods presence aud Gods
promise, a man or child may be cheerful:
Never despair when fog's in the air,
A sunshiny morning will come without
warning"
Mind what you run after! Never be con-
tent Will, bubble that will burst; or Il fire.
wood that will end in smoke and darkness
but that which you can keep, and which is
worth keeping:
"Somcthng stirling, that will stay
When gold and silver fly away!'
Fight hard against n hasty temper. An
ger will come, but resist it strongly. A spark
may SET a house on fire. A fit of passion may
give you cause to mourn all the days Of yonr
life. Never revenge an injury
"IIe that rcvenseth knows no vest,
TIE meek possess peaceful breast"
IF you have an enemy, act kindly to him,
and make him your friend. You may not
win him over at once, but try again. Let
one kindness be followed by another, till you
have compassed your end. BY little and by
little great things are completed
"Water falling day by DAY
Wears the hardest rock away
And so repeated kindness will soften heart
of stone.
Whatever you do. do it willingly. A boy
that is whipped at school mover learns hislcs-
sons well. A man that is compelled to work,
cares not how badly it tisperlormcd. lie that
pulls OF his coat checrfully, strips mp his
clothes in earnest, and sings while he works,
is the man for me-
"A cheerful spirit goes on quick:
A grumbler in the mud will stick"
Evil thoughts are worse enemies than lions
and tigers for we can get out Of the way of
wild beasts, but bad thoughts win their way
everywhere. Keep your heads and hearts
full Of good thoughts, that bad thoughts may
not find room-
"Be on your guard, aud strive and pray,
To drive all evil thoughts away"

A FACT For NATuRALIsrs.-A gentleman
Of candor and responsibility has furnished us
with the following strange story, for the truth
of which he vouchcs -
"lIappcning to dine last week, says our in
formant, at the house of a celebrated fox
hunter in the North Riding of this county
lTippcrary.l the conversation at dinner, as
usually happens, WAS of a very diversified
character. The company, which was numer-
ous, included two or three sportsmcn, and
when other subjects were exhausted, sporting
topics were introduced. Instances of the sa-
gacity of the fox were related and our host
rs climacteric, said that he had fox which,
nothing could exceed in cunning, and which,
he offered to wager e5, would "put down"
any gentleman at the table drinking whis-
ey-punch. A young gentleman accepted
the wager, and in few minutes Rcynard,
perfectly tame, and almost amiable was
brought in by servant and placed on the
table. Two still tuInblcrs were mixed, and
Rsynard's being poured into Il saucer helap-
ped it up, rs was remarked, sin less than no
time" A simultaneous consumption of the
hot he ;cragc was affected by his competitor
Five tumblrrs followed with similar effect
As the seventh was about to he concoctcd the
gentleman declared be would have no more,
aud was satisfied to yield the palm of intem-
perance to his long nosed friend. The latter
was then placed on the carpet, and, with his
tail hanging in anything but game fashion,
he stumbled across the room and proceeded
to his kennel Our host refused to accept the
winning, Icing thoroughly satisfied with hav-
ing vindicated the peculiar abilities Of his
fox. ."-Lim9ick Examiner

EQuine Memory.

A venerable friend, whose memory runs
back to nearly four score years and ten, told
US story the other day, illustrative of tho
retentiveness of horses memory, which
struck US as too good not to be told again.
Tho occurrence dated back to the year of
his boyhood, and was related with all the
particulars of collateral verification. We
give it in brief
tavorite horse that had been stolen from
his stall. after an interval of two or throe
years was driven by his unsuspocting pur.
chaser to tho door of his formor owner
Tho latter asserting his right of property
and offering to submit the validity Of hi
claim to the borse's decision, the purchase
cheerfully accepted the proposal. The tes
was to be tho horse's removal of the woodel
! pin which fastened the barn door, his opon
ing the door and taking his accustomed po
sition in tho stall. On being Embarrassed
and allowed the liberty of the yard, he al
first began TO nibblo about tho borders OF
the enclosure. Presently bis eyo (be had
but one) caught sight of the stable door; re-
collections of oats and other choice proven
der seemed TO be awakened, and, without
tho slightest spparent misgiving. he pro-
ceeded TO demonstrato, much to the smuse-
mont. if not satisfaction of both plaintiff and
defendant in this novel case Of reference,
in which party the right of ownership was
vcstcd. 1t is hardly necessary to add that
tho supposed owner was allowed 10 return
home minus his nag.-a wiser, if not richer
man than when he came--Salem Reg.
