A YOUNG COUPLE residing at Lexing-
ton, KY, determined to elope recently,
and accordingly started for Cincinatti on
the afternoon train, and in due timeaarri-
we'd at the Spencer House, the paradise Of
lovers. They were both young and ex-
ceedingly rural. and their conduct soon
convinced the initiated attendants that
they had been thwarted n.their hymenial
inclinations by hard-hearted parents or
guardians.
The emotions Of the fugitives were .vari-
GUS modest in the extreme, they were un-
able to control their fondness from the
guests in the drawing room, mingled with
a sort of triumph at their success, and fear
lest they might be overtaken. at once en-
listed the sympathies or all who observed
them.
At length the young man went up to
the Office and enquired for the proprietors,
alledging that he had some private busi-
ness which could be transacted with no
other parties. The clerk stated that nei-
ther Of them were in, but he would attend
to anything the ruralist might unfold.
OF this the young man appeared skep-
tical and commenced pacing the floor, ex-
hibiting the greatest restlessRess, and f.
nally entered the drawing room, from
which he again issued after short con-
sultation, and approaching the clerk said
Sir, there's a lady in the room; she
wants to marry me and want TO marry
her bad, can you do anything for us?"
The clerk replied that everything matri-
monial should be arranged in a short time,
and in less than an hour the happy couple
we're united by the firmest ties that the
law recognizes.
Soon after the bridegroom approached
the desk OF the Office, and commenced
looking over the register. The clerk in
quired what he desired, and received the
reply that he only wished to look at the
arrivals. But his manner betrayed the
fact that his mind was not easy-but what
his troubles were no one could conjecture.
After walking around the Office for about
twenty minutes, he returned again, and
said to the clerk in low tone:
Hadn't you better change the register
and give us this room now we're married."
"That is already changed" replied the
clerk; "you are marked for the same
room"
sWell.D replied the gratifed Kentuck-
ian surprised at such thoughtfuIness. " well
inst show me up. I'm awful sleepy !"

ABUSE OF Masonic EMBLEMs.-The wearing
of Masonic signs and symbols by men traver-
sing the country as solicitory agents is attract
ing the attention Of some Of the Grand Lodges
in the Atlantic States. The Grand Lodges Of
New York, as we learn from the New York
Courier, repeatedly denounced the custom as
an abuse of the objects for which Masonry was
instituted, and We see the Grand Master Of
Maine has taken up the subject and thus
speaks Of it al have to notice the advent to
our State of class Of men who faunt their
Masonic banners on the outer Walls--a class Of
men who make large exhibition of Masonic
jewelry, so called. ostentatiously displayed up
on their person or dress. In some cases have
seen the Square and Compass Of sufficiently
large dimensions to serve as part Of the fur
nitnre Of a lodge. These men are generally in
search Of custom / am also fully persuaded
that to such an extent has this 81 stem prevail

pointed by Mr. Lincoln as Consul In the important

sulate at time when disorder and even worse pro-
ceedng from the action OF his predecessors, made
his task most dlflcut one. Still his strict integ-
rty, aided by his well known executive ability soon
reduced order out OF chaos, and the Consulate, IN.
stead OF being burden TO the home government,
soon became source OF profit and revenue. In
thirty months Mr. McColley saved more than $4,000
In gold to the national finances, and one OF the
proudest moments OF his life was when he
received from Mr.. Seward letter eloquently
expressing the gratitude felt by the gov
nrm faith aud confidence OF the administration IN
their onicer. Mr.. McColley leaves q wife and an
only daughter, the vile OF Mr. A. q. Hyer, Jr, con-
sular clerk at Caao. The evidences Of grief and re-
spect for his memory shown both In this city and
Callao were truly touching. All the nags, foreign
and national, were at hafmast and In Callao the
authorities were among the first TO manifest their
sorrow for the deceased. II being the intention OF
the family TO remove the remains at an early day TO
