A VENERABLE FREEMAsoN.-The venera-
BILE appearance of a Hiram Inas, Sen., in
the Masonic procession at the funeral Of DR..
Rawson, attracted general attention. Mr..
Imas is now 10 the 9lst year Of bis age, and
has been Mason for sixty.eight years.
He is undoubtedly the oldest Mason in the
State. and probably in the United States.
He refused a carriage which was proffered
him on the occasion. and took his place in
the ranks of the Fraternity, where he walk
ed from the Lodge TO the cemetery and
back, distance of about two miles. The
old gentleman also retains his mental fac
ultes remarkably. He crossed the plains
in lS49, when be was over 10 years of age,
and has resided In Santa Cruz ever since,
where he is surrounded by large family
of children, grand and great-grand children.
May the old pioneer live many years yet

WONDERFUL CALCULATIoN.-A writer thus
undertakes to convey some idea of the
greatness of the population of China;
"The mind can not grasp the real import
of so vast number. Four hundred mil
lions What does II mean? Count it |!
Night and day, without rest, or food or
sleep, you continue the weary work yet
eleven days has passed before you have
counted the first million. and more than as
many years before the end of the tedious
task is reached
He also supposes this mighty multitude
to take up its line of march, in grand pro-
cessiOn, placed in single file at six feet
apart, aud marching at the rate of thirty
miles per dry. except on the Sabbath, which
is given to rest:
"Day after day the moving column ad-
vances, the head pushing on far toward the
rising sun, now bridges the Pacific, now
bridges the Atlantic. And now the Pacific
is crossed, but still the long procession
marches on, stretching across high noun
tains, and sunny plains, and broad rivers,
through China and India, and the European
Kingdoms, and on again over the stormy
bosom OF the Atlantic. But the circuit Of
the world itself affords not standing room.
The enless column will double upon itself,
and double again and again, and shall gr-
die the earth eighteen times before the res
ervoir which furnishes these numberess
multitudes is exhausted. Weeks, months,
and years roll away, and still they come,
men, women aud children. Since the march
began the little child has become man, and
yet on they come, in unfailing numbers.
Not till the eud of forty.one years will the
last of the long procession have passed.
Such is China in its population ; and if
Homer could preach eloquently on the van
ity of man as mortal, with equal eloquence
had he seen or contemplated the millions of
China, could he have preached on the van
ity Of man as an individual?

In strength there ever dwells OF right
Some quality of noble name,
Which through base uses keeps aiight
A remnant Of celestial fame,
And cannot leave him wholly vile
Within whose breast IL takes abode,
Since this one spot, this little isle,
Must still retain the stamp Of God.
In him, who not Of kings the heir,
Caryes out n crown by kngly work,
Must needs be that some virtue rare,
Some god-like moral grace doth lurk.
This shining forth, shall color lend
To wrong, or questionable act,
Till the world dreams righteous end
Where only sophists can defend
And Faith becomes the slave of Fact.
Yet II Is an effeminste thing,
woman-weakness sti to crave
For works that made the world to ring,
Or setting up some idle king,
For violence pronounce him brave.
For stronger far, and in their strength,
More hOnorably due to fame,
Are they who through the stormy length
OF combat kept fRwless name;
Who, reddened to the brows with strife,
Have nourished hearts not cruel still:
Men who. though widely taking life.
Shed blood for conscience sake, not viii;
Who sheathed the sword when peace might be,
And brayely glad, confessed IL gain;
in whose severe sublimity
Envy detects no fatal stain;
Men Of perfect mould and such,
Who knew themselves and knew their time,
We cannot honor over much
In story or in rhyme.
Strong is the Statesman who can WELD
A nation to his single will,
Teach its blind nussiOns how To Weld
And lordly destnes to fulfill
Who, to one point. wbate'er beiall
Makes every shapeless purpose bend,
Becoming all things unto all,
So he may gain an end.
Yet greater oft is III success
Later in time they reap applause
Waom factions could not ban nor bless;
Found brave enough to lose cause;
Who, mid groveling race and prone,
Walked honestly, erect and proud;
Who dared not lie to gain throne.
Nor struck their cOlOrs to the crowd,
Such shall not lack renown till when
Cometh an iron age at last
SneeriDg at all that makes US men,
Cursed with cOntemnings of the past;
Who, reaping where they have not sOwn,
Wax selfish In their base degree;
And slur the light by which they see.
This Is the noblest strength to seek,
And tadeess still the crown remains,
Which once He wore, who, strongly weak,
On Calvary was wrung with pains.
To suffer, and without complaint
Makes grandeur more divine than ALL
This, TO high places lifts the faint;
This is the hero's coronal
To wither in dark disgrace,
Which half world might wipe away,
And clothed with calumny, to face
Contempt and hatred day by day,
Because the half-word that would change
Our destiny, were best unsaid-
o wide and elevated range
OF hearts 10 worthy interests wed
So blest the iame-regardless thought,
Which 10 divine attractions true,
Feel that the life which hath been taught
TO suffer, hath been taught to do.
