The Masonic Fraternity and the War.

In the early part Of May the Masonic
Grand Lodge Of Tennessee sent circular
letter to all the other Grand Lodges Of the
United States, treating of the dep|orab!e
condition of the country. The Grand Lodge
Of Pennsylvania has published the following
extracts:
Masonry is a sovereignty and law unto
Itself. Wherever existing it is occupied with
the permanence, universally and integrity of
lis own organic laws and usages, 1t has eX-
cIuled all bat its own members from part
cipalon IN its atfails. 1t knows nothing but
the principles and teachings of its faith.
Masonry has relations only With such as are
bound together by the lies of its brother
hood. II regards the rise and fall Of em
pres, the Disturbances in States, the war of
contendny nations, and rebellions and revo-
Iutions in comlnouwealths or among peoples,
as calamitles arising from causes to which
Masonry is stranger. The proud position
Of the brotherhood is to stand aloof from
such evils without parIiaIity and without
participation
The mission of Masonry is no. either i'm
peted or hnlered bv surh conditions OF So
ciety. The claims of brother are not dis
solved by war, pestience or famine the tie,
once formed, is only sundered by death. In
gloom and despair, in want, distress and
peril the life Of Masonic principles is nelh
er endangered nor attacked The roar of
the whrIwind can not render the cry of
brother inaubbe, nor the darkness OF civil
war prevent the destitution of brother
from being seen.
SArelv your God is our God; your faith
our faith; your landmarks our landmarks;
your joy our joy your prosperity our saisI
faotou. Then let us untedy work together
for the preservation and perpetuity of a
common Inheritance. 1t may be thereby
we will aid in maintaining unity, peace and
concord among the brethren. and citizens Of
united sovereign States in our glorious Union.
If all bonds should be broken, all ties rent
assunder; if discord, dissenson and dsrup
ton shall mark the decline and fall of the
most wise and wonderful of the govern
ments of mankind, let the Masonic temple,
in all States, Kingdoms lands peoples or
confederaces, be the common refuge Of an
indistructible Masonic fraternity.

excellent bargain. "Now," said he
to himself, "if I only have a piece of
bread-and that l can surely get at
any tine-I shall always have but
ter and cheese to eat to it; and then
when am thirsty 1 have only to
milk my COW; what more would you
wish to have, Hans?'' SO when he
came to an inn, he halted, eat up&ll
his bread and gave. away his last
piece Of money for half-a-pint of beer,
after which he proceeded with his
COW towards the village where his
mother dwelt. But as he went along
the heat Of the day increased and
at noon Hans found himself alone on
a wide moore where there was no
shelter from the overpo.vering rays
of the sun. He was now parched
with thirst; but, thought Hans, 81
can help this presently; I will milk
my COW, and soon get the better of
my thirst" SO I will milk my cow,
SO he tied her to the stump of a de-
cayed tree, and tried to milk her in
to hisleathern cap; but could not OBJ
tain a single drop of milk. Long he
toiled to no purpose; and at last the
restive animal gave him a hearty
kick which upset him into ditch.
1t Glanced, however, that butcher
came past that way, with pig in a
barrow. "What has laid you there 2"
said the butcher to Hans, as he gave
him hand out of the ditch. Hans
told him all that had befallen HIM
whereupon the butcher handed him
his bottle and exhorted him to take
good pull at it, for as to getting
milk from his COW it was ridiculous
to attempt it; the beast was old and
fit only for the slaughter-house. -
"Aye, aye" said Hans in tone of
despair, 81 never thoug hit of that
But what could make of her though
l were to kin her? l hate COW flesh !;
had it been nice little porker, like
that you have got there. one might
have made something of it," ''Well,
Hans" replied the butcher, ''it you
wish it, you can have my pig for
! your cow" "Heaven reward your
kindness !" exclaimed Hans, giving
the butcher his COW, and driving off
the barrow and the pig.
| Hans was once more at ease, and
logged. on right contentedly. But
ere he had gone much farther he met
a fellow carrying a fine white goose
under his arm. Hans stopped and
talked with him, and told him all his
adventures and in return was told
that the goose was intended for a
christening feast "Only feel how
heavy it is" said the man land yet
it is not above eight weeks old
he who has the carving Of her may
ate and come again, l trow." YES -
said Hans, weighing the goose in his
hand, cit is fine bird but my pig
is no small matter either" To this
the man replied with Very knowing

And his master said: Thou hast been

gave him piece of gold that was as

it over his shoulder, logged away

But as he went along, not over has

said Hans to himself, ''what nice

There my gentleman sits, just as if
he were on chair; there is no break

aloud: "Ah, don't you see what a

from the saddle, took the gold, gave
Hans a foot up, and put the bride
into his hands, saying, "When you
want to travel fast, you have only
to smack your lips and call out 'hopp,

Hans was quite delighted to find
himself so nicely seated on his fine
horse, and rode gaily and briskly
along. At last he thought he would
like to go little faster, so he smack
ed his lips, and called out hopp,
hopp! as the horseman had directed
him. At the well-known sound the
mettlesome steed bolted forth like an
arrow; and before Hans knew what
he was about, he found himself lay.
