MASONRY.
It has besn truly said that the dawning. Of
Masonry should be dated at the commence.
ment ot recorded time, when the All-wise and
Supreme Architect, in the beginning, created
the stupendous fabric Of the Universe, for the
mighty handiwork Of Nature, as spread out to
the gaze of man, at once suggested and llus-
trated the first principles taught by the Order;
the perfection aud harmony Of Nature, the fit
ness and symmetry Of all its parts are sought
t, be represented by this institution. But the
time Of the organization OF thu Order was
twenty. eight hundred and seventy-seven years
ago, when were laid the foundations Of the
Holy Temple, which was erected to God by
King Solomon at Jerusalem. In the erection
OF this building. which was foreshadowed by pro-
phecy, one hundred and eighty-three thousand
six hundred men were employed. Among such
number. there was great disorder and no
system whatever; to systemstlzs and regulate
1of Of al ~ r.,
infuse order and harmony and efficiency into
their work; to guard their lives against the
dangers and casualties incident thereto; to
prescribe system Of signs and tokens by
which the workmen might recognize and COM
munio1te with each other; to impose upon all
the builders common obligation to adminis-
ter to the wants Of each; to teach them the
art and science Of architecture, and to incul-
cate tho practice Of Fidelity, Brotherly Love,
Relief and Truth, was the present system Of
Freemasonry struck out by King Solomon,
Since then the Order has prospered, moving
rapidly and ever onward, despite the fluctuations
ofhumsn anans; and despite the black suraes
OF hatred and malice and calumny that once
swept around it. 1t stands like the venerable
City Of Corinth, which stand upon. an inde-
structible rock, between two oceans that hurl
their waters at her feet IN vain.
-aNany vanished yssr and age. ~
And tampess's DreAth and battle's rage, -
Have swept over Corinth; yet she stands
A fortress formed to Ereedom's hands
The whirlwind's wrath, the earthquakes shock,
Have left untouched her hoary rock;
The landmark to tho double tide,
The purpling rolls on either side,
As II thsiI waters chste to meet,
Yet Y,auaa and rrrfich henaath her fact -

curtailed, and when by the sad experiences OF
the late sectional strife We see all the finer
feelings OF life suborned, still the beaten star
OF its genius shone in the armament from out
OF the Clouds guide to Q common aud finally
dispensed Charity that knew no bounds; re-
naming tru, to the end, the only unbroken

Much remains for us to do. We hold in our

At the conclusion OF the orltion, there was
music by the band, after which General Con-
ner thanked the audience for their kind attsn-
ton, and stated that Brother Pickett would dis
miss them with the bonedic;ion, which was
done. The young people Immediately repaired
to house near by, where, with music and
dancing, with an interude for dinner, the re.
mainder OF The day was spent most happily.
There was not, 30 for as We are aware, any
formal dinner; most of the assembiage brought
their dinners with them. having delightful

exercises were concluded. The majority OF
the members of the Order and their friends re-
turned at six o'clock, but large number re-
named to dance the hours away until the last
trip of the Pocosin at II o'clock. Including
the Masonic fraternity, there participated In
the exercises here yesterday fully six hundred
persons, who seemedto enjoy the day amaz-
inely.
Messrs. F. Gregoris, Geo. F. Kinloch and
John G. DuPre. and others of the Committee
OF Arrangements, deserve great credit for the
success Of this affair, which was, in great
measure, due to their energy, courtesy and
foresight.
AT THE scHUETZENPLATz,
The La Candeur Lodge, No. So, and the Wal
halla Lodge, No. 66. had most delightful
picnic.
They arrived there on the cars shortly after
two O'Clock. A portion Of Muller's band was
here too, and discouised excellent muse, to
which merry hearts and tvinkling feet kept
time until dinner, and after it too.

Nor GENERALLY KNOwN.-It is
ot generally known that there is an
act of the Pennsylvania Legislature
providing that no estate shall be be-
queathed, devised, or conveyed to any
body polite, or to any person, in trust
for religious or charitable uses, except
the same be done by deed or will, at
least one month before the decease of
the testator or alienor. It's an impor-
tant provision and persons who con-
template charitable bequests, should
prepare their wills in due season. We
have recently noticed several instances
i'm which such bequests have failed be-
cause of the wills not being executed
a month prior to the deaths of the par
ties. Last week Mrs. Sophia Meylin
died in Lancaster, bequeathed 81 900 to
Trinity Lutheran Church, and $4,000
to Zion's Lutheran Church. Both be-
quests are void, because the will was
executed less than thirty days before
her death. Not long ago Henry Law
son, of Norristown died with a be-
quest of large amount of money to a
Phi iladelphia association which failed
for the same reason.

A YER'S SARSAPAR1LLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.

The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures, many of which are truly
marvellous InTeterate cases of Scrofulous dis
case, where the system seemed saturated with
corruption, nayo been parifed and cured by it.
Ser0fulous affections and disorders which were
aggravated by the serofuious contamination until
they were painfully affecting, have been radical
ly cured in such great numbers in almost every
section OF the country, that the public scarcely
need to be informed Of its virtues or uses.
Serofulods poison is zone OF the most destructive
enemies Of our race. Often, this unseen and un-
felt tenant Of the organism undermines the con-
sttutiOn, and Invites the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases without exciting a suspicion of its
presence Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, some favora-
Bile occasion, rapidly develops into one other of
its hideous forms, either on the surface or among
the vitals In the latter, tubercles may be sud-
denly deposited in the lungs or heart tumors
formed in the liver il shows is presence by e.
rdptions the ssin, or foul ulce erations on some
part OF the body. Hence the occasional use of a
bottle of this Sarsaparlla is advisable even when
no active SYMPTOMS of disease appear. Persons
afflicted with the following complaints generally
find immediate relief and, at length, cure. by the
of this Sarsaparilla st. Anthony Fire, Rose
or Erysipelas, letter, Salt Rheum, Seald Head i,
Bingworm, SoTe Eyes Sore Ears, and other erup-
tions or visible forms Of ScTofulous disease Also
in the more concealed FORMS as Dyspepsia, Drop
sy, Heart Disease, Fits Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and
the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular
and nervous systems
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are
cured by it, though n long time is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medi-
cine But long continued use of this medicine
will cure the complaint. LeucorrhOea or w nites,
Uterine Ulcerations. and Female Diseases. are
commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by
its purifying and invigorating effect Minute Di-
rectiOns for each case are found in our Almanac,
supplied gratis Rheumatism and Gout, when
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters in
Hood wal L 10 tn saTa
plants, TOrpidity, Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver, and Jaundee, when arising, as they Of
ten do, from the ranking poisons in the blood.
This SARSAPAKILLA IS a great restorer for the
strength and yigor Of the system. Those who are
Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and
troubled with Nervous Apprehensons or Fears,
any the affections symptomatic of Weakness,
will find immediate relief and convincing evil
dence ofits restorative power upon trial.

BUCKWHEAT CAKEs.-These are pc
culiarly adapted to cold weather. The
appetite Graves them, and they supply
the system with warmth, to enable
it to resist for long time the feeling
of hunger. But they must be made
just right, and here is prime recipe :
Make a thin batter with aquart of flour,
half a cup of yeast, warm water and a
little salt. Let it rise over night.
Bake on both sides on griddle. a
little of the batter left in the rising
dish will serve for yeast for the next
batch. 1t is better to add a teaspoon
full of salaratus before baking in the
morning, and it is very essential that
this is good and be strictly pure.
