Tn Observation-Disclosures we have not
devoted that attention to the proposed Rail-
road which its Importance demands, in con-
sequence Of our time being almost entirely
engrossed with the recent election. We in
tend to make amends in the future.
We regret to say that, from some cause,
our men of means in this community, mani
fest an apathy, or stOieal indifference to the
road which, to Us, is ~unaocountable in view
of surrounding facts and circumstances
Some object that the contractors will mako
too much in the operation. They agree to
build the road, and pat it in complete run
ming order for $35 900 per mile. We do
not think this ~exorbitant, considering all
things. The Illinois Central Railroad,
much of which runs over a fine, level prai.
RE country, cost 10000 per mile; and it
was constructed before the war, when labor
railroad iron, and everything entering into
the construction Of RAILROAD was about as
cheap again as at present. 1t is undOubt-
edIy true that the contractors will make
money when the road shall be completed.
They admit this through their accredited
agents. Mr.. Mitchell, in his address in
Albany on the Railroad question, frankly
stated, again and again, that the contractors
expected to make money by the enterprise.
Capitalists will not engage in such under
takings unless they can be quite we'll assur-
ed that they will make money thereby. We
are of The opinion that the contract for the
building of the O.. Central Railroad, east
side, is as fair and liberal on the part of the
capitalists, as will eyer be obtained by the
people of Oregon.
We cannot notice, at this time, all the OBJ
sections urged by some of our Rip Van
Wrinkle property-hOlders, to TIE contract.
Our view Of the matter may be expressed
very briefly. It is this The road will be
built whether you take stock or not. The
contractors have already spent too much
money, and have become too deeply involved
to go backwards. If the real estate owners
of Albany and vicinity do not manifest prop
interest In the success of the enterprise,
the road will not run through nor near this
city. 1t is a mistake to suppose that the
route is unalterably located. It is not but
it will be in a few weeks under the engineer
and Mr.. Douthitt. IF the monied men of
Albany do not encourage the undertaking,
il will run ten or fifteen miles east Of AL
bany, thus taking a nearly direct line, and
materially reducing the cost of its construc-
ton, and running through the richest and
most fertile section of country in Oregon.
A depot will be built, and a rival town will
spring up there; and if it do not kill, it
will surely very seriously cripple the city Of
Albany. This Is not a mere idle threat.
There are plenty of able farmers along on
che line of such a route who will gladly sub
scribe all the stock, and even more, which
the contractors require.
Let the capitalists of Albany attend to
this thing Immediately.
There is . tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the food, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the balance of their lives
Il bound In shadows and in miseries."

Like tho belief in Deity, the be-
lief in souls immortality is rather
q natural feeling. an adjunct of self
consciousness, than dogma belong
ing to any particular age or country.
It gives eternity of mans nature,
and reconciles its seeming anoma-
lies and contradictions; it makes him
strong in weakness, and perfcctable
in imperfections, and it alone gives
an adequate object for his hopes and
energies, and value and dignity to
his pursuits. It is concurrent with
the belief in an infinite Spirit, since
it is chiefly through conscienc ious-
ness of the dignity ofthc mind with
in US that we learn to appreciate its
evidences in the universe. To for
tify, and. as far as possible. to i'm
part this hopo. was the great aim
Of ancient wisdom, whether express
cd in forms Of poetry or philosophy.
Is it was Of the mysteries. and it is
If Masonry. Life rising out of death
was the great mystery which symbol
ism delighted to represent under q
thousand ingenious FERNS.

SECRET or Succ Ess.-It is not by
regretting what is irreparable that
true work is to be done, but by ma
kingsthe best Of what We are. It is
not by complaining that We have not
the right tools. but by using we'll
the tools we have. Where We are,
and what We are, is God g providcn-
tial arrangement; and the wise and
manly is to look our disadvantages
in the face and see what can be
made of Thorn. Life, like war, is :
series Of mistakes. and he is not the
best Christian nor tho best general
who makes the fewest false steps.
Poor mediocrity may do that; but
no Is the best who wins the most
splendid victories by the retrieval
of mistakes. Forget mistakes; or
ganise victory out Of mistakes.

'.Remove not the old Landmarks.
- Solomon.
The Landmark defined the bound
aries Of landed rights, and beyond
these even the prince dared not tres
pass. The Landmarks Of Masonry
are tho metes and bounds Of Mason
ie law, and beyond these no power
dare impose its dictum. The fields
Of Masonic rights were carefully sur
veyed by our forefathers, and al.
though We think we might be able
here and there to probably extend
our domain, still We must remember
that by removing one corner stone VIC
disturb the whole ''base line upon
which our estate was given rs rs an
Inheritance. Everything in Mason
~ must move within well defined
limits. "
The Landmarks of Masonry arc
few and easily comprehcnded. The
first duty Of a ncophite should be to
become familiar with them, and the
second should be never to violate
them. They constitute the Masonic
limits beyond which one may not 60,
no matter how charming the land

Golden Extract.

The pillars by which all grand ed
ifces are supported, remind US ofthe
ability Of the Great Author Of all
things; the vaulted root, the univer-
salty Of bis providences; the square,
without which tho building could
not be duly formed, is characteris-
tic of the symmetry which prevades
His works, and also Of his justice
and equity toward Us, which we are
ever to initiate with respect to each
other; the compass is necessary to
avoid erring from the prescribed
line. and by which he has uudcvia-
tingly observed, and by which We
must regulate our actions, nor ever
allowing ourselves Intentionally to
transgrcss the excellent laws he has
given Us for our government. The
level eyinccs the equality Of man
kind, and enjoins our kind and aaec.
tionate treatment of each other,
without preference to any, merely
on account of their external rank,
attending alike to the just claims Of
al according to their ability. The
white aprons and gloves We wear are
symbolical Of the innocent lives We
make profession of. on our initiation;
and our professions are public
avowal Of the harmony and frater-
nal affection by which We are united.
In short, the whole Of our proceed
ings, from the foundation stone to
the completion Of the fabric-'every
implement employed in erecting it,
and every part Of the edificc when
constructed, serve as mementos to
keep alive in our remembrance tie
stupendous works ofnature and their
Supreme Author; the relation we
bear to him; the relations Of His
will, by which He has so condescend-
inply made himself known to us; the
obligations we arc under to love one
another as the children Of the same
common Father; and the imperious
necessity of our obeying, reverence
ing and adoring Him. if We have any
regard to the favor of our Supreme
Judge, whose unerring wisdom can.
not permit the guilty to escape con-
domination.
