Too tender and fran Wandered astray.

Noble the conquest God to the merciful
Aided by love. Ever is Just.

LAZY people are always nursing either
the expectation or the hope that they
will in some way stumble upon q for
tune. The ways in which they expect
to realize this hopo are various. Ono
has a vague idea that a s~inecure of some
kind will be offered to him another
fondly expects that some relative, with
o strong monsy-chest and q weak phys
ical chest, will kindly let both 60 for
the benefit of the expectant j and others.
without any defined hope, vaguely be-
lieve that something will turn up to
their advantage. But of all the weak
grounds upon which to build the castle
of a fortune, the weakest is that Of bur-
rowing into the past a hundred years or
20, in search of claims to vast estates.
Yet, at this late day there are hundreds
of people foolish enough to be victim
lied by lawyers with the idea that the
said property car BIO had for q small ad-
vance of ready cash. Although Fortune
is represented to be a coquetish and
heartless maid, she is generally kind to
those who deserve her f~ayors. He who
by his hands and his brains persistently
tries to work his way to Fortune is sure
to succeed, while he who lazily waits
for her to approach him, may wait in
vain till doomsday.

A CEREMONY was performed in one OF
the Masonic Lodges Of New York city,
lately, which is but rarely known in
this country. 1t was the comforting of
what are known as the Degrees Of the
Eastern Star, or adaptive masonry upon
about two hundred ladies, who were the
wives, daughters, sisters, or widows of
Master Masons. Two past grand mas
tiers of New York State were present
and assisted at the ceremony, and the
master of the Lodge stated that "ho
would hereafter labor in the Grand
Lodge Of New York to have it use its
great influence with the Grand Lodges
of the world for the purpose Of having
some token brought into being, and
generally recognized, by which wives,
sisters, daughters, widows, and mothers
of Masons may make themselves known
all over the world. In this he intended
no infrsction Of Masonic law, but he
did mean that when such relatives of
Nasons were in distress, they should be
without carrying their relatives
diploma in their pocket"

GENERAL GRANT was recently visited
by a Kentucky delegation, and it is re-
corded that after much pleasant converse
upon the climate, crops and soil of Ken
lucky, the delegation withdrew in good
order. Grant is evidently too sharp to
permit the politicians to use him, and
it is also evident that he is as much at
homo upon those pleasing subjects of
converse so much used in good society
the weather and the crops-as he is
upon the horse question. The latter
has heretofore been regarded as his Pc
culiar conversational talent, and Of it,
the New York Nation says appreciative-
ly: eff there be anything in Grants
career since the war for which we in a
special manner honor him, it is for the
pertinacity with which he stalks horse"
to them when they come to pump him
on politics."

WHEN WOMEN VoTE.-An amusing
writer anticipates the time when women
Shall yota aS follouc

WHEN WOMEN VoTE.-An amusing
writer anticipates the time when women
shall vote, as follows:-
When women vote our stump speak
ers will have need of change in style
What is to be the salutation "FellOw
citizens is too cold; citizen has acquir
ed masculine limitation, so much so
that, prominent as women were in the
French revolution, the distinction of ci.
toyenne was never lost. We suggest
tellow-creatures," the sex being alrea-
dy used to creature as term Of endear-
ment. The closer the stump-orator can
bring himself to his audience the bet
ter; the formal ''ladies and gentlemen
for beginning would freeze his whole
speech TO the temperature Of lecture.
1t will be very nessary to learn, before
attempting u political campaign, how
women like to be talked to. Married
men, especially those who have kept
well the respect and affection of their
wives, will have the advantage. In
fact, the man who has never made love
will be good for nothing on the stump.
70 become master in the art OF stump
speaking will need more of an appren
ticeship than passing through the lee
ture room of II professor of rhetoric.
Teachers of elocution will have to re-
wise their rules. Demosthenes and Ci-
cero and Burke and Webster will cease
to be models for what is recorded of
their sayings was uttered to influence
men; if we could get at how these great
lights shone in their private homes,
what they said when seeking wives or
when soothing wives, that might be Of
some use to US. Cold logic must be
banishcd from the stump; we shall
have to impress that unnamed faculty,
higher than the reasoning powers,
Which jumps to conclusions. Appeals
to the spread-eagle and to the memo
ries OF our revolutionary grandsires will
no longer serve as staple material :; one
dash in speech of love for little child
rem will be worth more than any guam
tity Of veneration for great men, dead
or alive.

HISTORY OF JACK HoRNER.-Most
people have been made acquainted i'll
the nursery with
Little Jack Horner,
Vino sat in thG
Eating Christmas pie,
Put in his thumb
And pulled out plum,
And said, What brave bot am l" "
This individual was not myth but
real parsonage. Tradition furnishes the
following story of the fortunate tel-
low:
When Henry the VIII. suppressed
the monasteries and drove the poor old
monks from their nests, the title deeds
of the Abbey of Notwithstanding the
sumptuous grange built by Abbot Bel
wood-were demanded by the commits
sioners. The Abbot of Glastonbury
London, and as the documents were
very valuable, and the road infested by
thieves, it was difficult to get them to
the metropolis safely. To accomplish
this end, however, he devised the fol-
lowing plan:
He ordered pie to be made-as fine
as ever smoked on retectOry table !;
inside he put the documents-the finest
filling pie ever had since pies were
first made-he intrusted this dainty to
a lad named Horner to carry up to Lon
don, to deliver safely into the hands
for whom it was intended. But the
journey was so long, and the day cold :,
and the boy was hungry, and the pie
was tempting, and the chance of detec-
tion was small So the boy broke off a
piece of pie and -beheld Il parchment; !;
he pulled it forth innocently enough,
wondering how it could have reached
there, tied up the pastry and arrived in
town. The parcel was delivered, but
the title deeds of Mells Abby estate
were missing-Jack had them in his
pocket. These were the juciest plums
Of the pie. Great was the rage OF the
commissioners, heavy the vengeance
they dealt out to the monks. Jack
kept his secret, and when peaceable
times were restored, claimed the estates
and received them. Whether Mr.. Hor
ner deserves the title of 'good boy''
bestowed Oh him by the nursery lament,
is more than doubtful however, that's
the story.
