Why, you'd think to hear Aunt
Zeruah talk, that we were all like
bulls in china shop, ready to toss
and tear and rend, if we are not kept
down cellar and chaned; and she wor-
ries Sophie, and Sophie's mother comes
and worries, and if try to get any
thing done differently, Sophie cries,
and says she don't know what to do,
and so give it up. Now, if / want
to ask a few Of our set in socially to
dinner, / can't have them eat down
cellar, r,--oh that would never do -
Aunt Zeruah and Sophie's mother
and the whole family would think tho
family honor was forever ruined and
undone. We must not ask them, un-
less we open the dining-room, and
have out all the best china, and get
the silvers home from the bank and
if we do that, Aunt Zeruah dosen't
sleep for week after, getting things
put away; and then she tells me, that
in SopLie's delecate state it really is
for me to increase her
cares, so i invite fellows to dine with
me at Delmonic's, and then Sophie
cries, and her mother says it don't
look respectable for family-man to

The Archbishop of st. Louis Pro.
nounces Against the Fenians.

From the Missouri Republican, Aug. 30
TO THE ROMAN CATHOLICS OF ST. LOUIS.
The undersigned has read in the
Republican, of this morning, an an
nouncement Of funeral to take place
Sunday from ST. Patrick's Church,
in this city, Of deceased member of
the Fenian brotherhood, who died at
st. Paul, Minnesota, on the 9th inst.
The occasion is evidently made for q
display on the part of those in st.
Louis who are members Of that asso-
citation. Hence the deferred interment
and the pageant which is to accompa-
ny the burial. The connection Of st.
Patrick's Church, where the religious
service is announced to take place, and
where, without any authority from
the Pastor of that church, it would
appear, an Grafton by gentleman Of
this city is to be delivered, imposes on
me the obligation of forbidding-asI
have done-the Pastor of that church
TO permit any funeral service, or other
religious ceremony, to take place on
this occasion. | have furthermore
the Superintendent of the
Calvary Cemetery not to admit any
procession of men or women bearing
insignia of Fenianism within the gate
to state publicly, what have uni
formly stated in private conversation,
that the members of the Fenian
Brotherhood, men or women, are not
to the sacrament of the
Church as long as they are united
with that association, which l have
always regarded as immoral in its
exciting of rebellion in
Ireland, and unlawful and illegal in
its means, quasi military organiza-
ton in this country while at peace
with England, to be made effective in
the event Of war with that power.

How AND WHAT TO READ. Read
much, but not many works. For what
purpose. with what intent do we read2
We read not for the sake of reading,
but we read to the end that we may
think. Reading is valuable only as
it may supply the materials which the
mind itself elaborates. AS it is not
the largest quantity of any kind of
food taken into the stomach that con-
duces to health, but such a quantity
of such a kind as can be digested 50
it is not the greatest complement of
any kind Of information that improves
the mind, but such quality of such
a kind as determines the intellect to
the most vigorous energy. The only
profitable kind of reading is that in
which we are compelled to think, and
think intensely; whereas that reading
which serves only to dissipate and
divert our thoughts is either positively
hurtful, or usely only as an occasional
relaxation from severe exertion. But
the amount of vigorous thinking is
usually in the inverse ratio of multi
farious reading. Multifarious reading
is agreeable, but, as habit it is, in
its way, as destructive to the mental
as dram-drinking is to the bodily
health. "Our age" says Herder, ais
the reading age;" and he adds, 1t
would have been better, in my opinion,
for the world and for science, If, in
stead of the multitude of books which
now overlay us, we possessed but
few works, good and sterling, and
which, as few, would be therefore
more diligently and profoundly stud

How TO GOVERN COUNTY, First
steal a theater and shut itup in mom-
ory of Booth next, rent it to the
owner at $4,000 year Then buy it
for 100000, if Congress will agree
to it, which they will do, if properly
Schencked Tor skunked.) Then tear
it to pieces as if you had paid for it.,
and proceed to expend $4,000 to
make it fire-proof, to hold the docu-
ments and records of the rebel Gov
ornment, which isno government, and
not to be recognized among Christians
and patriots in want of q. place. Be
bold and insolent; it makes a people

WHAT MASON SHOULD BE.-Those
who are Masons in the true spirit Of
Masonry, must put away from them
all malice and hatred, revenge, and
evil speaking, and put on as the elect
of God, bowels of compassion, tender
ness, long-sulIering, mercy. They eat
not their morsel alone, while the wild
ow mourns her widowhood, or the
helpless orphan cries for food; they
blast not with the pcstilential tongue
of SANDER their neighbours good name,
and all their wish and all their aim is
to initiate him to whom it was thus
most honorably spoken, "Hc weat about
doing gOOd," Not only, then, let not
this your Masonic good be evil spoken
of, but be jealous, that it may be
abundantly and richly we'll spoken of
1t is the leading principle, and the
great end of Masonry, TO propagate
the exercise of charity in these its
threefold operations and he who does
it not is yet destitute of the true Ma
sonic heart, which is the heart of
charity, of 5enevolence, and of love.
BY the exercise of the dunes Of
Masonry, the rich may add abund-
antly to the fund of their eternal in
heritance. The wise may increase
their knowledge of the nature of God,
in all his best perfections, and thereby
daily grow still more wise unto eternal
salvation. The pure in heart may be
always advancing in the divine like
ness and they who walk in this path
of the just with zeal and activity, will
find as the shining light which shineth
more and more unto the perfect day.
