MASONRY.

From the N. o. Sunday Times.l
Three thousand years have rolled away
Upon the tide of time,
Since Masonry began her march
OF noble deeds sublime.
And though the angry storms of war
Have swept the earth with fire,
Her temple stands. unscathed, unhurt,
With sunlight on its spire.
Old empires, long the praise of men,
Have faded from the earth
Kings, with their thrones, have passed away,
Since Masonry had birth.
The sceptred monarch in his pride,
Has long since met his doom,
And naught is left of his domain,
Save solitude and gloom.
Proud Egypt, with her wondrous arts,
Her mysteries of old,
Has slept beneath the tide of time,
As swift his current rolled.
And Greece, with all her ancient wealth
Of genius and of fame,
Scarce holds amid the nations now
The h NOR of a name.
The glittering to wers of Troy, to which
The foes of Priam came,
To meet a welcome for their deeds
From lips of Spartan dame
Have long since toppled from their base,
And mouldered to decay
The glory Of that mighty race
With them has passed away.
Amid the ravages that..swept
The cities of the plain
Mid crumbling OF imperial thrones
The fall of tower and fame
Fair Masonry has still survived
The nations horrid doom
A beacon, mid the night of years,
To gid the clouds Of gloom.
Through every age stern bigotry
Has sought to crush her form,
But, unsubdned, she brayely met
The tempest and the storm.
The clouds of persecution fed
Before her steady ray,
As shades of deepest night before
The rising orb of day.
From Oriental climes she came,
To bless this Western world,
And rear her temple meath the flag
That Liberty unfurled.
Fair Freedom welcomed to our shores
This maid of heavenly birth
While thons1 nds of our humble poor
Now own her generous worth.
Ten thousand widows, in their weeds,
Have blest her advent here,

in these duels were never heard of during the

Southern editors to, keep cool, and take pat

never duel. In some cases the political
editors go so far as to call each other liars
and cheats and forgers, which is in very bad
taste; but in the end they all manage to get
along easily and quietly without burning pow

From ule World
The country is ON the edge of the great
quadrennial maelstrom of the Presidential elec-
tion, and our politics will presently be drawn
into the whirl which sweeps everything
towards that vortex. 1t bids fair to be very
different canvass from that in 1864. For many
reasons, the activity of the Republican party
win be soonest developed; and the Democratic
party if wise, viii await the action of its oppo-
nents before disclosing its plans or deploying
its forces. We have, as yet, no Presidential
candidates in training; the Republicans have
several. We do not, as yet, know whether
the Southern States will be permitted to take
part in the election; it is in the power Of the
Republicans to allow or to prohibit them,

Poor Old Spain.

from Ate HeTdtd,
We have an ominous whisper through the
Atlantic Cable that there has been a rising
among the republicans at Catalonia, in poor
old Spain. We are disposed to believe the
report, and that it means something much
more serious than is conveyed in the cloudy
illusions to these rising republicans. No
Government in Europe, not even that of ''the
sick man of Turkey" has so completely gone
to seed and dried up as the effete monarchy
OF Spain. During the last half century, and
for longer period, but especially since her
American colonies, from Peru to Mexico,
began to set up for themselves, Spain
has experienced all the changes, from
the magnificent De Soto, equipping fleets
and armies under her standard, to the
gallant, proud, reckless, vagabondizing Don
Cesar de Bazan, Haunting in his rags, and
astonishing friends and enemies with his rash
adventures and his narrow escapes. A re-
publican conspiracy in Spain Oh, how can
such thing exist in that country, where the
spies, soldiers, inquisitors, jailors, and execu-
TONERS OF Church and State have watched the
footsteps OF man, woman, and child day and
night, for hundreds of years The question is
suggestive; but that "poor old Spain" is on
the verge OF radical revolution, Church and
state, we have abundant evidence. Unless
specially provided for in the approaching
London Conference of the great powers, the
revolutionary elements of Spain, in some ter
rible and contagious outbreak, will be apt
before the end OF the year, to render another
conference necessary to avert the disasters
and dangers OF Continental war.

parliamentary triumph OF the English
RefOrmers.
From the Herald.
The Atlantic cable reports that division
took place in the English House of Commons
on the Reform bill last Thursday night, on the
question of an amendment proposed by the
Liberals, when the Government was defeated
by a majority of eighty-One votes. This result,
encouraging as it is to the advocates of the
popular cause, is not vital as involving the
official existence of the Derby Cabinets and the
Premier has exhibited his usual official tact in
accepting the amendment, and thus avoiding
an embarrassment perhaps unforeseen and,
consequently, unprovided for. The test vote
on the measure was taken on the occasion of
the second reading, when Mr.. Disraeli's pro-
positions were sustained against the argu-
ments of the Gladstone Bright phalanx by
twenty-One votes,
The effect of the Liberal triumph in the
! House has induced movement on the part of
| the Government towards compromise with
| the people; for we learn by another telegram
that the outdoor demonstration of the leaguers
which is to take, place in London to-day
will not be interfered with, although the
