The Reiier Thought.

The Better Thought! how oft in days
When youthful passion fired my breast,
And drove me into devious ways,
Ddst thou my wandering steps arrest,
And, whispering gently iu mine ear
Thine angel message, fraught with love,
Check for the time my mad career,
And melt the heart naught else could NOV,
Thine was no stern and harsh rebuke,
No " friends advice" so true, SO cold,
No message wise, such as in book,
Or by the teacher oft is told
Which, like the pointless arrow, falls
And rings perhaps with hollow sound,
But ne'er the wanderer recalls,
And ne'er inhicts the healing wound.
Thy voice was gentle, winning, mild;
Thy words told thou vert from above,
Like those with which the hayward child
Is wooed by fond mothers love:
Or like strain of music stealing
Across the calm aud moonlt seas,
Which moves the heart of sternest feeling
Aud wakes its deeper harmonies.
Sweet was thy presence, welcomed guest;
And |, responsive to thy call
Arose, and felt within my breast
A power that made the ietters fall
From off my long enthralled soul,
Aud woke as with magic spell
Grieis which yet owned the soft control
OF hopes that all might still be we'll
But ah thou vast an injured guest,
How soon departed, soon forgot
Were all the hopes of coming rest
That clustered round the Better Thought
The tender griels, the firm resolves,
The yearnings after better days,
Like transient sunlight which dissolves
And leaves no traces of its raysl
Yet despair not-through the night
That long has reigned with tyrant sway,
E'en now see the opening light,
The harbinger of coming day;
To heaven | now direct my prayer
O, God of love, forsake me not
Grant that my waywardness may neer
Quench the returning Better Thought!

WHERE STAND THE MAsoNs THE following
extract from an address by j. S. Kinney, before
the Grand Lodge of f. and A. Masons, at Plat ts
mouth, NebIaska on the 5th of June, pretty con
clusively shows how the Masons stand on the
national crisis :
ain this hour of our country's peril, what is
the duty of the entire Masonic fraternity Of the
country? Every true Mason has no difficulty in
answering this question. On entering the very
threshold of Masonry, you promise to be quiet
peaceful subject, true to your government and
just to your country You promise not to coun-
tenance disloyalty or rebellion, but patiently to
legal authority and conform with cheefulness to
the government of the country in which you live.
This obligation you cannot throw off loyalty to
your government is next in Importance to fdeli-
ty to your God. Both are taught aud should be
rigidly enforced by our Order. No Mason can
conscientiousy take up arms against his Govern
ment if he does, he forfets the friendship and
protection OF all good Masons. do not hesitate
to hazard the remark the large conservative ele-
ment of the Southern States is composed chiefly
of Masons, and OF the three hundred and fifty
thousand brethren in the Northern States, far
more than their proportion, according to their
population, have rushed to the defense OF our
glorious republic"
