The editors OF Terre Haute and Lafayette, In
diana, indulge themselves in occasional pleas.
sntries like the following:
THE reason why Lafayette doesn't build a
rink is this The ladies Of that city have such
big feet that no more than four or five could
skate in rink at one time; therefore the con-
Germ wouldn't pay.-7erre Mue Journal

A SAD ROMANCE. New Orleans
Picayune says.
Some years since the daughter of Prince
Henry of Reuss Greiz, small German
principality in the middle Of Germany,
| became deeply attached to young sub
altern who commanded the annual con-
tingent furnished the army of the King
of Prussia. Of course, all thought of
marrying him with the consent of the
Prince was out of the question but it
was arranged that the young lieutenant
should resign his position in the army,
and together they would escape to the
United States. Bmbarking at Antwerp,
they came to New York and were mar
ried there. But being young and with
out experience in the ways OF the world,
their little means were soon exhausted,
and they found themselves in q strange
land, friendless and in poverty.
They were afraid to communicate with
any of their countrymen, lest the circum-
stances of their fight should become
known, and themselves arrested. Unac-
quainted with our laws, and supposing
that the authority of their petty prince
was as potent here as among the grain
fields of their native land, they sought
obseurity and shrunk from their names
and station being blazoned abroad. At
last, pushed to the extreme Of poverty,
the husband, who was an excellent musi-
clan, obtained situation in the orchestra
at Niblo's Garden, but, learning that in.
quiries had been made by the Prussian
Consul of their presence in the city, he
threw up his engagement and came South,
and in the summer of 1867 fell victim
to the yellow fever. His wife was now
left alone, and, reduced to the extreme
verge of poverty, applied and obtained
situation in beer saloon in this city,
where she now is.
Lt is strange episode i'll real life, but o
true one, and exhibits, as no moralist
could describe, the vicissitudes of fortune.
She is now, perhaps, twenty-five years OF
age; small In stature, with an elegant
symmetrical figure, and face decidedly
pretty. Her face is shaded with light
brown curls, and her manners and con.
versation evince one accustomed to good
society. She displays good deal of reluc-
tance in talking to strangers, but once
interested in conversation she becomes
animated and engaging. She seems to
feel her questionable position very sensi-
bly,, and the slightest allusion as to what
she was, and is now, is sufficient to pro-
woke her to tears

The UNITY OF THE BRoTuERHooD.-The
following incident, illustrating the Mason
ic Brotherhood, we extract from an ora
tion delivered by Brother Thomas b. Gar
ret, at the recent opening of the new hall
in St. Louis:
Much is said and sHrmised about the
peculiar nature of our ties of brother
hood, which, to the world, appear so mys-
terious, so enduring and SO strong. 10
many their universalty and bidning force
are inconceivable. They cannot be fully
explained except within the secret recess.
es of the lodge but 1 may be permitted
to give simple illustration of the true
spirit of Masonic Brotherhood, which
came under my personal notice not very
long ago. Two men had been fast friends.
In an evil hour they quarrelled, and from
violent words they came to- daggers'
points, but used no daggers. They did
not speak, and had not spoken together
for years. Mutual friends had tried the
arts of reconstruction in vain. They were
avowed enemies for life.
The whole difficulty was purely person
al, and the honor of neither was impeach-
ed either by the origin of the quarrel, or
subsequent circumstances. Probably
they were equally to blame; possibly not
No matter. One of them became Ma
son after the estrangement, and it hap
pened the other remained ignorant of this
fact. One evening, he, too, was admitted
into lodge. Almost the first voice he
heard, and certainly the first face he saw,
was that of his enemy, who presided over
the ceremonies of initiation, and was
obliged, according to usage, to address
him by the title OF "brother." This was
most peculiar situation, and severe Or
deal for both.
After the lodge was closed, the appren-
tice sought the master, and without any
preliminaries, the following colloquy en-
sued, commenced by the newly'made
mason:
care you member of this lodge Z"
The reply was, 81 am"
"Were You present when 1 was elec-
ted ?"
/ II was"
"May ask if you voted"
81 did"
"Now, will you tell me how many votes
it requires to reject, in ballot for admis-
sion?"
The Master answered, cone"
There was no more to say. The initi-
ate extended his hand, which was warm
ly grasped by the other, and uttered with
thrilling accents, deep emotion thrilling
in his voice:
"Friend! Brother! Yol have taught
me lesson I shall never forget"
This is little ray of Masonic light.
No language is so eloquent as the silent
throbbing of heart full ot joyful tears.
Where this kind of cement is used in our
moral edifce, should it not be enduring ?
Who can wonder that it is 80 strong?

they have any knowledge; and if sugar
can be successfully manufactured from
the sorghum cano, then the cultivation of
the cane, and tic manufacture of sugar
by this process, will prove highly remu-
nerative to the Southern planter. Even
should it be found impracticablo to manu-
facture sugar from sorghum, still this
process will be highly valuable for the
purpose of refining syrups.

mittee, thoy have no hesitation in recon-
mending the Southern process for rein

The FLAW HUNTERs.-There are peo-

detecting evil, or the appearance OF evil,
in every mans character. They have a
fatal scent for carrion. Their memory is
