EXPERIENCE AsAH EDITon

In the Ortum OF 49,, my friend, the
editor of the BaldinSville Bugle, was
obleegod to leave perteshOrnal dooties

to edit fer him doorin his abs.nts. At.
cordingly ground up his Shears and
commeuccd. 1t did mt take me CRATE
while TO slash out copy enutf from the
xchanges fer one ssOo, an | thawt Id
ride up to the next town on a little
Jant, to rest my Brancs which had
been severely rakt by mental efforts.
(Thiss sorter Ironical.) So | went over
TO the Rale Rode Orts and axed the

A COOP NEwsPApER.-The San Jose
Cal, Mercury, an excellent paper
gives the following as it's idea OF what
it takes to constitute a good newspa
per.
"Wo receive at this Office thirteen
daily newspapers, and from sixty to
eighty wccklies, all of which we make
it point TO read. From this mass
and labyrinth of matter we carefully
select such articles, items, gems and
tit.bits as comprise the miscellany of
our columns. Each editor acts upon
this principle; hence, each individual
paper is an epitome of the whole, and
in proportion to tho extent of the cd
itor judgement contains the quintos-
sense of the whole, 1t requires more
talent to make good selections than
il does to write good leader; hence,
We imagine that the popularity Of n
paper depends to great extent on itS
selections. That editor is a fool who
imagincs ho can write better on all
subjects than ary of his contempora-
ries. We all have our specialties-
some peculiar gift-in which perhaps
wo may excel many others. 1t is the
art of combining these gifts, and cul-
ling their choicest gems, that makes
the readable, eagerly soughtfor splon-
did journal. Such is our idea of what
a good paper shouldibe but bless us,
how few of us all the bill"

ants in this city, while busiIy writing
at desk heard a knock at his door.
On an invitation being given to como

four finely formed young fellows Of
about IS or 10 years Of age, and quiet
y 'eatcd themselves near the stove.--
One inquired Of the officer ith want

preparing the papers, wondering all
The while ut his good luck, and the

and having some doubt about the re-

slender around the chest, he was going

With, keep your hands off Of me; no

the same time blushing considerably.
The Lieutenant was taken aback with
surprise, and before he fairly compro
hended the situation Of affairs, his re-
cruits all skedadled, with the remark;
"neyer mind we'll go yet" The Lieu.
tenant says he is confident that they
were young women, and that this,
their first effort to enter the military
service Of Uncle Sam, was q failure, no
doubt, owing to their ignorance as to
how matters were conducted in the re-
cruiting business. None Of the parties
are known.

lacked in individual ability, learning,
experience or statcsmanship, no has
sought it, and found it in the ablest

uhhesltatingly accepts, whose powers
lie applies to the advancement of the

Origin Of Masonry.
DY REV. BRO. CONE.

1t is to the establishment Of this Grand
Lodge that We owe the union of specua-
tive and operative Masonry union
which has been productive of the grand
est and most beneficial results. Its first
production was the magnificent temple OF
Solomon. The whole history of Masonry
acknowledges the advantages of this
union, in the permanence. beauty and
order of the institution, in the systematic
adjustment of all the machinery Of its
government, and in the beautiful SYM
bolical representation of truth, and in
culcation of morality, which gave it a
charm to captivate the Heart, aud a power
to Withstand the shock of ages. Specula-
tive Masonry was represented by wisdom,
in the person of King Solomon,and opera
tive Masonry by strength, in the person
of King Hiram, whi,s Hiram Abitf, or
beauty, was the pcrsonihcation of both
united. From this beautiful union OF
three of the greatest men of antiquity,
personatins tho three great elements Of a
true, manly life, proceeded the harmoni-
Gus organization, the splendid symbolism
and sublime prccepts OF Frce-masonry.-
To the moral teachings, the wisdom, and
the piety Of these men does Masonry owe
its greatest beauty, its incuication Ci
virtue, its principles of bro;herly love-
in a word. all that makes it the beautiful
the benevolent, and the permanent sys-
tenn that it is. For whatever other
claims the Order may have to esteem and
Immortality, it owes its existance to-day
and must for all ages, to the religious
teachings that are inwoven with all its
ceremonies, inculcated in all its lectures
and shadowed forth in its sublime and
impressive symbols This is its great
recommendation to the world, this is its
true title to Immortality.
"Yirtue alone outbuills the pyramids;
Her monuments shall last, when Esypts fall
And we arc reminded of the pcrman
ence and indestructibility of our Qtder
when We look back to find traces in his
tory of the gorgeous temple and Of tho
magnificent people that worshippcd II
its courts. We ask, where is this splen
did edifice now? Whclc are the affairs
and golden vessels, the priests in gorgeous
robes, the musicians and the Vast con
gregation Where are the kings an,
their palaces glittering With fabulou
wealth. Where is all the bcau;iln
garden Of Palestine, with its cities an,
merchants, its commerce and its gold
All gone-swept from the face Of tn
earth: Tho land of milk and honey is
land of deselation and bitter water -
desert unfit for the abode Of man. An
