will clear her lands and improve

source and foundation of all pros

who come merely for the purpose
of speculation or for lOaterS, idlers,
gamblers, dandies and the like,
who consume but never make
anything. We want workers,
men who realize that labor is the
destiny of their kind and has
been since the fall, and who are
willing to bravely meet that des-
tiny and accept its consequences.
Such men are the salt of the earth,
and of dignity and value any
where. We care not where they
come from, they ought to be vel
come among us. This class of
people have turned the swamps
of Holland, and the barren rocks
of New England into fertile farms
capable of enriching thousand
and sustaining millions. If we
can get them here they will cover
our fields with cotton, vineyards
and golden corn. From their la,
Dor will spring wealth, education
and refinement. Give us a work,

no need to fear want. Therefore
we should encourage the settle

70 There is not a healthy,
able bodied man in this State but
has it in his power to place him
self in Independent circumstances
by a few years Of patient industry
and ordinary economy. There
are fortunes to be made here in
many ways without rushing off to
far distant gold lands, or to I'M
seen utopias. No branch of in
dustry has hitherto been Thorough
ly developed in this State, audit
is in the reach Of any man, no
matter how humble his circum-
stances, to raise himself to wealth
and position by well-directed in
dustry and perseverance. 1t is
only necessary he possess ambi-
ton enough to aspire, and will
enough to rise above the mere
drudgery of life, and the battle is
more than half won. Agriculture
and manufactures are yet in their
infancy in Texas; and success in
the former awaits every man who
with strong hands, willing heart
and average judgement makes the
venture while the latter will be
stimulated by the production of
products and crops which our soil
will yield abundantly. We have
only to watch the experience of
other people in other less favored
lands and study the true course
of Nature.

Cnere Will De Masonic process
sion and dinner given at this place
by Bellevue Lodge, No. 50, F. and

will also be delivered an Masonic
address, by Col. J. Adrian Snider.
By reference to a notice published
elsewhere, it will be seen that the
Brotherhood, in good standing,
are respectfully and fraternally
invited to join in the ceremonies
of the occasion.
AS the Masonic celebrations of
the oath of June-the anniversary
of st. John the Baptist; and the
9th of December, the anniversa-
ry of st. John the Evangelist
may not be understood by many
of our readers, we propose to give
a brief collation. of masonic his
tory on the subject, as the reason
why Masons celebrate these ami
versaries:
Masonic lodges in ancient time
were dedicated to King Solomon.
Tradition informs us that they
were thus dedicated from the
building of the first temple at Je-
rusalem, to the Babylonish cap
tivity. From that time to the
coming of the Messiah, they were
dedicated to Zerubbabel, the
builder Of the second temple; and
from that to the final destruction
of the temple by Titus in the reign
of the Emperor Vespasian, they
were dedicated to st. John the
Baptist.
Owing to the many massacres
and disorders which attended that
memorable event, Freemasonry
fell much into decay. Many of
the lodges were broken up, and
but few could meet with sufficient
members to constitute their legal
ity. Under these circumstances a
general meeting of the craft was
held in the city of Benjamin, when
it was observed that the principal
reason for the decline of Masonry
was the want of a Grand Master
to direct its affairs. They there
fore deputed seven of their most
eminent members to wait upon st.
John, the Evangelist, who was at
that time Bishop of Ephesus, to
request him to take the office OF
Grand Master. He returned fo1
answer that, Though well strick.
en- in years (being upwards OF
ninety,) yet having been in the
early part of his life initiated into
Masonry, he would take upon
himself that Office" He did So
and completed by his learning
what st. John the Baptist had &C
complished by his zeal. After his
decease, all Masonic Lodges
were dedicated to him and St
John the Baptist, both of them
being regarded as eminent Chris
tian patrons of Masonry. Since
then Masons have ever celebrated
the 24th of June in commemora
ton of st. John the Baptist, anG
the 9th of December in com
memoratiOn of st. John the Evan
gelist.
