On the Square"

Tho Masonic Fraternity now in session
at Columbus have passed tho following res
oiutions:
ResoIrsd. That it is peculiarly pertinent
and proper that this GRAND LODGE in this
extraordinary crisis of our country's history,
when treason and rank rebellion against
tho bos, Government on earth, stalk boldly
forward and threaten to subvcrt our liber-
ties. should again place upon record her u,-
ter condemnation Of tho infamous traitors
her complete and thorough determination
to-sustain the General Government in its Of
forls to restore tho Union Of The States at
every hazard.
! R,soirfd, That this GRAND LoSGE do now
re.nilirm as its unanimous sentiment the
following resolutions adopted at its Annual
Grand Communication, held in October,
1868. viz:
Rtsoircd, Tha. this GRAND LopaE Of Free
and Accepted Masons regard the doctrine
of Secession" as advocated by certain
class of Amorican politicians as n monstrous
absurdity, and if acQucsccd in, tho Coneti-
tuition of the United Stn.cs would become
'Jtto de Sc"
Sccond--That in this present unnatural
contest the institution of FREEMAsoNRY has
no attribute that can tako side with re.
hellion.
Third-That it is the duty Of every worthy
Mason, in this hour of his country's peril,
to stand by the General Government. even
at tho expense of fortune and life, that the
blessings of Constitutional Liberty and Un-
ion, as banded down to us by our Fathers,
may bo onjoyed by us in our day and gen.
GRAFTON, aud be transmitted unimpaired to
our posterity FOREVER.

The Home Mother.

We must draw line, ave, broad line
between her and tho frivolous butterfly of
tashiou who fits from ball to opera and
party. decked in rich robes and followed by
a train AS hollow aud heartless as herself--
she who. forgetful of the holy task assigned
her, neglocts those who have been given in
her charge, and leaves them to The care OF
hreliogs, while she pursues her giddy round
of amusements.
! Not so, our Home mother ! blessings be
on her head The heart WARNS to see her
in her daily routiie OF pleasant daties -
How patiently she waits day after dav.
shaping and sewing some article for usa or
adornment for her little flock And how
proud and pleased is each little recipient Of
hor kindness! How the little face dmples
with pleasure, and the bright eyes glow
still brighter, as mamma decks them with
her own hands in the new dress she had
made! How much warmer and moro COM
before they 90 to school No ono bat she
can warm tho mittons and overshoos, or ito
the comforters around their ,necks! There
is II peculiar charm about all sho does--thc
precious mother They could not sleep
any. for that matter, she could not, if she
failed to visit their chamber, and with hor
| soft hands arrange them comfortably before
she slept. Her heart thrills with gratitude
to her Creator as sho looks on those sweet,
blooming faces and when their prayers
are done, she imprints good night kiss on
zach rosy little mouth 1t may bo. 100, a
tear will start for one littlo nesting laid in
it's chill, narrow bed, for whom her maternal
care is no longer needed, 1t s|eeps, though
tho sleet and snow descend, and tho wild
winter winds howl around its head. II needs
no longer her tender care. mghtior arm
enfolds It. 1t is at rest. She feels and
knows that this is right. and bends moekly
to tho hand that sped the shaft. and tarns
with warmer lovo, If it bo possible, to
those little ones who are left her to love -
How tendery she guards them from any
danger, and with what strong untiring love,
she watches by their bedside when thoy arc
i'll ! Blessings be on the gentle. loving home
mother Angels must look with love upon
hor acts. Her children shall rise up and call
her blessed, aud tho memory of her kind
moss shall onfotd her as a garment.

The True Gentleman.

Forbearing the use Of power is n sure
attribute OF true gentleman--indeed, ,
we may say that power, moral, social or
political. is one Of the ,ouchs,oues of gen
uine craftsmanship. The power of the
husband over the wife, which includes the
impuniy with which he may be unlind
to her; the father over his children, the
teacher over his pupils, the old over the
Young, and the young over the aged,
the strong over the weak, the officer over
his men, the master of vessel over his
hands, the magistrate over the citizen, tie
employer over the employed, the rich
over the poor, the educated over the uu.
eltered, the experienced over the con-
fiding, tie keeper OF secret over whom
it touches, the gifted over the ordinary
man-lhe forbearing use Of all this power
or authority, or a total abstinence from it,,
where the case admits it, will show the
gentleman in plain light.
Every traveller knows at once whether
gentlemanly or rude officer is searching
his trunk. But the use power not only
forms a touchstone; even the manner in
which the individual enjoys certain nd
vanlages over others is a test. No gen
tleman can boas, of tho delight OF superior
health in the presence OF languid patient,
or speak of good luck within hearing OF n
man bent by habitual misfortune. Let a
man who happily enjoys life speak it TO a
fallen criminal fellow being, and YOU will
soon see whether he be a gentleman OF
not.
The gentleman does no! needlessly re-
mind an offender OF wrong he may have
committed against him: he can not only
forglve-he can forget; and he strives 70,
that nobleness of character which DIparts
sufficient strength TO let the past be truly
the past. He will never use the powe.
which the knowledge of an offense. a false
step. or an unfortunate exposure of weak
ness gives him, merel y to enjoy lie power
of humiIiating his neighbor. A true mar
of honor feels BUNDLED himself when he
cannot help humbIing others.

Money Changers in China.

The money of the Chinese consist entire
ly of small round copper coins, of tho size
of halfpenny, with a square hole in the
centre through which the people string
them. go that they may be more convenient
" carried These coins the Chinese call
tsien; the Tartars, dehos |; and the Euro
poans, sapeks.
Gold and silver arc not coined at all ;
they are melted into ingots of various sizes.
and thus put into circulation. Gold dust
and gold leaf are also current in commerce
and they also possess bank notes. Tho or
binary value of the ounce of silver is l,70O
or 800 sapeks, according to the scarcity OF
abundance of silver in the country. The
money changers have two irregular modes
OF making profit by their traffic; il they
state the fair price of silver to the customer
they cheat him in the weight; if their scales
and their method of Weighing are accurate
they diminish the prico Of silver according
| ". But when they have to do with Tartars
they employ neither of these methods o
fraud: on the contrary they weigh the sill
yer scrupulously and sometimes little owe
weight, and even they pay thcm above ,h'
market price; in fact, they appear to b.
quite losers by the transaction, and the.
would be. if the weight and price Of the sil
vor alone were considered their advantog,
is derived. in these cases. from the mann o
of calculating tho amount.
When they come to reduce the silver in
to sapeks, they do, indeed, reduce it, maxim
the most vagrant mscalcuIatings, which tn
lTartars, who can count nothing beyon
their beads are quite incapable OF detecting
and which they accordingly adopt implicit
ly. and even with satisfaction, always cor
sidering they have sold their bullion vel
since they know the full market price bt
been given.

NATIONAL DEBr,--Our national deb;

This sum ia far below that which some OF
our less hopeful citizens had anticipated
as the result of two years struggle for
national unity and the perpe'uity of our
free institutions. And it is among the
most gratifying illustrations both of the
wisdom OF Mr., Chase's financial plans and
OF the amazing recuperative power of this
country. that, notwithstanding the vasl
Increase Of our national burdens, internal
trade and external commerce are flourish

Cloves arc unopened flowers of small

ance the laurel of tho bay. 1t is native of
the Molucca. or Spice Islands, but has been
carried to allthe warmest parts of tho world
and is largely cultivated in tho tropical ra'

size and grow in largo numbers in clusters
at the very end oft tho branches. The cloves
we use arc flowers gathered before they are
opened, and while they arc green. After
they are gathered they are smoked by
wood fire, and then dried in the SUM- Each

A Shareholder Diving his Slaves to the
Recruiting Office.

A Baltimore correspondent writes:
"a STAKEHOLDER in Dorchester county, In
this State, recently said to his slaves that
they had bis permission to volunteer in the
army, but requested them, when they bad
made up their minds to 60, to inform him,
and as they bad driven him many time to
Cambridge, he would himself drive them in
his carriage thither on this important mis-
sion. Surely enough, they needed his re-
quest, and he drove them to town in bis
carriage on their way to Baltimore, after
fitting them out quito literally. Last Fri
day be came to the city and went out to
Camp Birney TO got his certificates for the
three hundred dollars substitute money for
each slave, and to grant his obligation to
free them when the State laws would allow
him to do so. They met him as Affection
ately and as demonstratively as some would
meet father. But this is an Isolated case
in the dark field of slavery"
