RESCUE THE FALL1SG.-One of
the Offices Of Frccmasonry, is the
preservation of the morals of it's
members. Good will to man, and
a sincere desire to be useful to his
fcllow-crcatures, are, and should be,
among the prominent motives that
should actuate one in seeking to be
initiated into the mysteries Of our
beloved Order. A membership in
an institution having such noble and
glorious purposes in view, opens, a
wide field of usefulness for the
practice of the principles of philan-
thropy and bcnevolence. And never
was there more pressing demand
for labor in the direction named
than at the present. Widows and
orphans have been made by hundreds
and thousands within the last few
years, and let them not reach out
their hands in vain for succor. But
while the poor are aided, and the
wants of the distressed are being
relieved, let not the hayward ane
delinquent Of the Order be neglected
We fear that the last named dut,
is too much overlooked. Efforts q,
reformation should be made in tim,
to save and reclaim the wanderer
or else the disease will become to,
deep-scated for cure. -The Square
and Compass,

GRAMMAR, the science which has
for its object the laws which regulate
the human language; one Of the
seven liberal arts and sciences.
1t is grammar which reveals the
admirable art of language, and un-
folds its various constituent parts
its names, definitions and respective
Offices. "God created man," says
Sanctins, 1.-THE participant ofrcason;
and as he willed him to be a social
being, he bestowed upon him the
gift of language, in the perecting
of which there are three aids. The
first is grammar, which rejects from
language all solccisms, and barbar-
Gus expressions; the second is logic,
which is occupied with the truthful
ness of language and the third is
rhetoric, whice seeks only the adcrn.
ment Of language. Masonic Eclec-
tic.

4 Coon MASoN.-"A Good Ma
son is an honest man. one who duly
pays his duty to his Great Creator;
one who strives by honest industry
to excel in that trade, profession or
science he is called to ; one who is
just in all his dealings and depend
encies. cultivating his mind and be-
havior with social adopts and broth
crly benignity in all the duties of
life : one who would willingly do to
all men as he would have them to
do to him." This definition en-
braces the golden rule. Obedience
to it will do to live by, it will do to
die by. 1t is Masonry in its purest,
unadulterated form, it is the Mason
ry taught in our Lodges, and it
ought to be practiced by all. Grand
Master Of Indiana.

THREE YEARs.-Thrce years
bring many changes. Three sun
circuits through the vast orbit of
the heavenly Lodge, witness many
fall and many an uprising. Dis
appointments come and are over
come. Hearts are depressed and
hearts are buoyed up again. The
Masonic Lodge receives new mater
ial for it's spiritual walls, new wis
dom to it's wisdom, new strength to
its strength, beauty to it's beauty
Likewise the brothers bear many a
polished block to. lamentcd graves.
At the sacred portals, trembling
hands are still knocking. Within
the guarded and secluded chambers,
very mig to heaven, the hallowed
fire is yet burning. The call from
labor to rcfreshment, and from re-
freshmcnt to labor is still heard re-
sounding; while the field of graves
has always some freshly upturncd
earth that marks new tenant who
sleeps beneath the sprigs Of ever
green with which his comrades de-
fed the power of death.
Three years-tbe mutability of
timc-affccts us all. Those who
formed the rear guard, called to be
last, become the first while many
who were the first, exchange places
with the outstripped in the race Of
knowledge. Lights and Shadows Of
FrccmaSOnry.

Why Women Cannot Enter
Masonic LOdges.

When King Solomon was still a
young man he had married his seven
tn wife. She was a beautiful young
Amonitess, With locks as black as
the ravens wing and eyes as bright
as eagles. 1t was believed that
she was the favored fair one among
all the sultanas of the Great King;
for his affections were not divided
as they afterwards became. She
knew her dover and used it unspar-
ingly. In addition to her other
qualities, she was as inquisitive as
ever was q woman on this earth
One evening King Solomon at
tended the lodge on some grand oc-
casion, and stayed out somewhat
late. When he returned home, he
found the fair Amonitcss in the
dumps, and pouting just like the
dear wives Of Masons do sometimes
now when their lords stay out too
late at the lodge. She upbraided
him with negleeting her, insinuated
that he hadn't been to the lodge as
he pretended, and insisted that in
future he should give proof that he
went there by having herself initia-
ted, so that she might 60 there and
watch him.
Daughter of Ammon, replied
the King, "thou hast behaved thy
self as one of the foolish women, in
presuming to question thy lord and
master. Thou art not so angry
with me as thou pretendest to be
for the true reason of this behavior
is thy Unsuitable curiosity, in which
thou excellest Eve herself. Know
then that here ordain that neither
thou, nor any Of thy inquisitive sex
after thee, shall ever enter the por-
tails Of Masonic Lodge but l
shall enjoin the Tyler to pierce
through with drawn sword any wo-
man that shall attempt to enter a
lodge aye, even thee, Queen of Is
rael though you be - And that
ordinance of this wisest of monarchs
has continued in force till this day.
