The public sometimes asks of US,
What are those ceremonies which
Freemasons prize so greatly and preserve
so sacredly among themselves? We
reply, "These would be of no use to you
even if we could communicate them
They have a special meaning to those
wko are first prepared in heart. The cry
of the little one in its cradle, which to
you, its mother, is so fraught with mean
ing has little meaning to others. The
love look of the maiden, which to her
lover is expressive of such world of
tenderness, conveys but little meaning
to me. And SO it is with those signs
and other methods Of Masonic recogni-
tion they only serve purpose to those
who are prepared to understand and to
respond to them, but would convey no
meaning to you.
Yet we will communicate to you some
signs and passwords and ceremonial
form full OF Freemasonry, and equally as
binding upon you as they are upon us.
Ist. When from the lips of parent or
Christian friend you hear the words OF
solemn counsel, warning, rebuke or ex-
hortation. answer those words, we charge
you in the name of God. by refraining
from evil practices and drawing nearer
to the cross of Him whose spirit has put
III into the neartS OF loving friends thus
To do you good. Those words of coun-
sci are the true words of Freemason-
ry, ancient as the warning words which
God addressed to our erring parents in
Eden.
2d. When upon the convulsed face of
suffering humanity you perceive the
tears slowly trickling down-when you
see the hands painfully clenched under
the agonizings of human sorrow, and
hear the choking sob and heavy sigh.
answer those signs, we charge you in
the name of God, answer them quickly
and give such sympathy and aid as it
are the grand hailing signs of Masonry
ancient. as the day that RachaA sorrowed
in her death-pangs, and universally bind
ing upon MasOns and anti-Masons, man
and woman, ito the last syllable of re-
corded time. Nat. FF'C6nds0R

when the following ten delegates were

AGE OF MAsONRY-From recent
statement in Moscow paper. it seems
that St. Johns Lodge No. 3, of that city,
has recently celebrated the S09th ami
versary of it's existence, it having been
erected by charter from King Malcolm,
in 1867. We should like TO see the
muster roll of that lodge, beginning more
than eight centuries ago. and running
along with the ages to the present time.
What kings and Kingdoms have risen
sounded in its East. How the world has
changed. and what progress has been
made in science and art. Eight hundred
years is the lifetime of lodge.

HE CATERERS THEM IN.

1t is rumored that Secretary Seward is
on the look out for other additions to
our national farm, and has an enyious
eve on the British Possessions. The
claims against the British Government
for the depredations committed by the
Alabama have never been adjusted. The
English Government proposed to submit
the whole affair to arbitrators, but ours
refused. The matter remains in abey-
ance for the present, and it is said that
when the British Minister again brings
it before the Cabinet that Seward will
introduce the acquisition subject. With

per acre, Mexico going to destruction be
