Our public professions have been in
stituted for many noble purposes. We
visit the house OF God in public to offer
up our prayers and praises for mercies
and blessings; we attend in q body to
the world our mutual attachment
as a band Of brothers; we are arranged
in a set form to exhibit the beauty OF
our system, constructed en- the most
harmonious proportions, and modelled
into a series Of impereeptible grades OF
rank which cement and unite usintbatn 9
dissolubiee chain Ofsincere affection which
is so well understood by Msster Masons,
and blend the attributes OF equality and
subordination in a balance so nice and
equable, that the concord between rulers
aud brethren is never subject to VIOLA
ton, while we meet on the level and
and part on the square.

MAsoNIc INTELLIaENcE
INTERVENE.

"SOlemn and appointed funerals for
the dead are used among all civilized
nations, and form a large part Of our
Masonic duty. We do not permit those
whom we loved while living, to pass
unhonored to the silent house, which Is
the final resting place Of all.
The firm Of which our Bro.'. JAMES b.
MCCAFFREY is one, is prepared to do, in
a fitting aud appropriate manner, these
last sad services Of love aud friendship.
No M better deserves the assistance in
b S profession ofhis Masonic brt thren and
Of the public generally, than our jealous
and good brother. Il is but fit and be-
coming that those who commend them
selves to public favor by close and prompt
attention to their business, by moderate
chargesand conscientious performance Of
duty, should be encouraged by a fan
portion Of the patronage of the public.

MOTIVES.


It is often easi~ question motives
than to reply to arguments. And it is
quite true, as has been said, that although
a man, scorning the jealousy which casts
q suspicion Of self-seeking on his public
career, may devote himself with all his
heart and mind and strength to what he
believes to be the welfare of his country,
his motives will be questioned, and he
viii not escape aspersiol. "Those who
believe that a private self interest is the
secret OF all human actions, viii believe
that he is personally selfish. But, still,
to question his motives is despicable, be-
cause, in his case, it is a confession that
argument is at an end, and that no re-
source remains but the appeal to preju-
dice for the aspersion Of motives, when
unattended by any evidence in the career
OF the individual, is smoothing but an effort
TO excite prejudice, which is always con-
temptible."

Every Mason must obey the law Of
whatever Grand Lodge he lives under,
and not pretend to reform the work, be-
u he comes from or goes to some
other Jurisdiction. Many men have q
natural tendency to introduce d" i'm
provements," and they are the origin of
nine-tenths Of the false work done in
Lodges and u advice would be to all
Lodges, in whatever State they may be
located, never to elect newly affiliated
members TO Office, or allow them to lee

IOHN a. RRECKINRIDGE.

1t is or was proposed, we have seen, to
make this true gentleman the Conserva
tive candidate for Governor in Kentucky.
We hope, at least, hat he will soon re-
turn to his native State. He is Of a fine
nature,-like that of the Marquis de
PIsANI, who was ambassador to Spain
under CHARLES *, and to the Pope
under HENRY III, and made by HENRY
", Governor of the Prince de CoNDE.
4" When ! wished the King said, "to
make a King of my nephew, l entrusted
him to the Marquis de PIsANI; when
to make him a subject, to the Comte de
BELIN.n And after the death of the
Marquis, he said, II placed him near
my cousin, the Prince de CoNpE, be-
cause he could learn, neither in the ex-
amples Of his life and manners, nor in
his precepts, any thing other than all
virtuous things, worthy of my
cousin" De Thou and others say of
him, "ca este 1m grave Ct crccheqt
StiOReuT tOBtcs SeS actions JieH
coaiposcos q Ph0anear ct a Ia pertU;
qrdnd seTritcur dH Reg ct dc Ia France
His name was as well known and as
much respected in foreign countries, as
i'm his own. Descended from one OF
the most ancient houses of the realm,
he added new lustre to the nobility of
his blood, by his piety, probity and
courtesy. THESE fine qualities were also
sustained by a grand courage. "All
the world loved him." says TALLEMENT
DIES REAUx, and the Italian inn-keep-
ers, mercenary as they are, on his
second journey into Italy, were not will
ing to be paid for entertaining him."
We can imagine Mr.. BRECEINRIDGE, if
he were a King, acting as nobly as
CHARLES X, who, having insulted a
person by a blow, in the heat OF the
chase, and, learning that he was q gen.
tlemen, said, "Je nc Su1S que ceza,'-I
am only ~that,'-snd made ample
apology or like CASTOR d ORLEANS,
who, when one morning, many cour-
tiers attending his Ieyee, 3 gold watch
which he valued highly, a repeater, was
stolen, and some one said, "the doors
should be closed, and every one
searched" said, " on the contrary, gen.
tlemen, retire, all Of you, lest the
watch should strike, and expose 'oclui
gti sen est accOmode :" and made ali
90 away. For his intellect, we hold him
second to none in the republic. Like
the Marquis de PIsANI, however he may
be employed in public affairs, his aptness
and fidelity viii be, as they have always
been, equally conspicuous and in what
ever capacity the country may avail
herself Of his services, he will acquit
himself with glory.

the Cincinnati IommersiaL

From the Cincinnati { numerical
The Memphis APPEAL, now edited by
Gen. Albert Pike, takes the ground that
the Southern States are on parole, and
not bound 10 obey the lars 0f the United
States, and that when wanted and invi-
ted to return to the Union il will be time
enough to consider the propriety Of doing
it. In other words the conqueror is to
take of his hat and politely request the
conquered 10 be so good as to condescend
TO resume his ancient footing Of equality,
on his W terms. The APPEAL ought
to understand that the armies of the
Union did not march and fight for four
years to put down the rebellion with the
understanding that those whom they
fought were to dictate the terms of peace
and restoration.
The words Of the foregoing paragraph,
which we print in italics, embodya will
full and deliberate falsehood. We said
that we had given our parole Of honor to
obey the laws Of the United States, and
that we must keep it.

their country. When GEORGE the
Third reluctantly recognized the indie
pendence Of the revolted Colonies, and
treated with them as States, he said
that he was the last to agree to it, and
would be the last to violate the agree
ment. The great mass of the Southern
people acted on the same principle they
adhered to the fortunes of the losing
until the end, and at once returned
TO their old loyalty, becoming again, in
feeling, a part of the people of the United
States. They are as truly loyal to-day,
as they were when the Northern and
Southern regiments fought side by side
in Mexico. If in opposition, they do not
war against the constitution or the law
full government Of the Union; but
against the usurpations, the abuses, the
ungenerous tyranny and the fatal errors
Of Legislation and administration of those
who have the temporary possession of
power. They are not cruel enough to
their own people to desire to excite sedi-
ton or disturbance. They are not fac
I tious or treacherous. But they have
sworn to support the constitution, and
they will endeavor to so. II they speak
at all in regard TO public matters, they
must speak the truth. When it becomes
unlawful to do that, they will suffer and
eDdurei in silence.

Cloves.


Cloves are produced by tree which is a native
of the Molacca Islands, and were, like nutmegs,
a long time under the control Of the Dutch Gov
eminent, which, for many years. would not allow
the tree to grow upon any except the Island Of
Amboyha, whence the highest priced cloves still
come. The tree is from fifteen to thirty feet high
with large aromatic leaves, and punches of very
fragrant flowers. The spice is the unopeY ed
flower buds, which are beaten off by means of
rods, and then dried. The little bali at the end
Of the Glove is the uncxpanded petals by soften

from the French "clow," nail---that being the
name the French call them OH account of their
resemblance to little nail They contain a
good deal Of volatile oil, upon which their value
depends. This oil is sometimes extracted in
part and the cloves afterwards sold. These can
be told by their lighter color, and having the

nfbernnt,on of Swallows.

Mr.. +. A. Allen, writer in Hardwickes
Science Gossip, asserts that swallows not only
hibernate, but that some of them pass the winter
in very eccentric ways. He believes that some
times they take up their quarters on the banks
of lakes and rivers, and after becoming torpid
have the misfortune to tumble in.
The earliest authority is the Swede, CLAUS Mag
nus, who wrote in 1865 He was an archbishop,
as well as a naturalist, and writes: " From the
northern waters swallows are OTTER dragged up
by fisherman in the form of clustered masses,
mouth to mouth, wing to wing and foot to foot,
these having at the beginning of autumn collec-
ted amongst the reeds previous to subMersion.'
"When young and inexperienced fisherman find
such clusters of swallows they will by thawing
the birds at the fire bring indeed, to the use of
their wings, which will continue but very short
time, as it is premature and forced revival"
About a hundred years later we find a Leipsic
professor ready to assert that he himself found
more than a bushel measure of swallows closely
clustered under the reeds of fsh-pond, under
the ice, all Of them to appearance dead, but the
heart still pulsating"
In 17l3 one DR.. Colas appeared before meet
ing of the Royal Society, and recounted similar
discovery. Mr.. Allen adds that in at least three
modern instances the same phenomenon has been
noticed.
