From the National Free Mason's Magazine.
If Good Men all were Masons.

The influence Of the Masonic Institution, could
1t once gather into its folds all worthy subjects
and none other, is ioreshadowed in the following
verses Of an esteemed brother:-.
There's never tear that fell,
But some kind hand would steal it;
There's never sigh would swell,
But some kind heart would feellt
There's never a widow sad,
There's never an orphan lonely,
But some one would make glad,
With smiles OF joy, il only
The good men were all masons!
There's never q word profane,
Would be by mortal spoken;
There's nevera plan would fail,
And never u law be broken;
There's never man would DIE
Away from loved ones, lonely,
There's never a shuldering cry
Would mount to heaven. If only
The good men were all Masons!
But every heart would smile.
And tongues break forth with singing,
And stores Of corn, wine, oil,
The generous would be hinging,
And each would strive to make
The path of life now lonely,
A green and fowery way,
Like Elfns walks, if only
The good men were all Masons!
But as the good men all
Are NOT in our connection,
Let's try what few we are,
To be Of one compilations;
Let's try though frail and weak,
And Oft times poor and lonely,
To show what life would BE,
And man would DO, if only
The good men all were Masons

A Trick on PARTRIDGE.-The popularity
of particular brand of cigars called the
Golden Crown" manufactured by John C.
Partridge Il Co., 48 Dearborn street, Chica-
go, has become so great that certain saloon
keepers buy up all the empty boxes they
can find, which originally contained Par
tridge's Golden Crown cigar, and fill them
with an inferior article which they palm off
upon their customers for 10 and 20 cents
each, as the real Partridge cigar. This
trick may do, on a greenhorn, but practiced
smoker can't be fooled twice, that way. To
man having delicate olfactories there is
no meaner stencil than the stencil of poor to-
bacco, while the fragrant Havana" has been
a soothing balm to the most delicate nerves
ever since Sir Walter Raleigh smoked the
calumet before the admiring gaze of Queen
Bess.' Men IN no one thing are so much
humbugged, at this writing, as in CIGARS
for there is any auantity-of -.musty~ rolls,
which cost less than four dollars per hun
dred, retailed to them at ten and fifteen cents

A Coon BET, IF HE LesT.-A man, round
at Dimick's stable, yesterday, wagered an.
other that he had seen horse galloping at
great speed and dog sitting on his tail. 1t
seemed an improbable feat for dog to &C.
complish; but the man was right, and won
the money. The dog was sitting on his o,oa
tail. sta
This man was distant relative of the late
Rev. Zeb Twitchell, who was once preacher
of the gospel in our town, up in Vermont,
and who, to wake up his sleepy audience,
one hot Sunday afternoon, contrived to inject
story into his sermon about mosquitoes he
had seen get up on the logs and bark. The
parson was called to account for telling such
whopper. and he overwhelmed the commit
tee by showing them how stupid they were.
He didn't say the mosquitoes barked but
they got ON the bark of the logs.

The SCHOOL DEBT.-By the report of the
Board of Education, as published in the
ARGUS, it will be noticed that the school
debt has been reduced during the last year
from $4,000 to 000-nearly one-third.
Much of the credit, for this gratifying result,
is due to P. L. Mitchell, Esq, whose superior
financial ability and rigid economy in public
matters are qualities well known and appre-
ciated by our citizens. He has been mem
Der of the Board of Education for the last
hree years and has rendered the people es-
sential service. 1t is mstter of regrett that
he cannot be persuaded to accept re-elec-
tion.. 4a ssT
IF the new board can make as good a re-
port, next year, the school debt viii cease to
be q source of anxiety to our taxpayers.
Retrehchment and economy in public affairs
are marked characteristics of democrats,
and there is no place where these virtues can
be exercised to better advantage than in the
reduction of our school system to its proper
limits. Such system as is in existence in
this city is wrong and unjust to the tax pay
ers! Let the new board reduce it to a COM
mon school education, and let those who pur-
sue the higher branches pay for them. zfs
