IN MEMORIAM.

Died, Of measles, in Jackson Mississippi,
Nav 24th, 1870, HALLE, son of Henry H. and
Lula Hines, aged two years, two months and
nine days.
Many hearts were crushed and many hopes
were blighted when little HALLE died He
was an unusually bright and promising child
His sweet appearance and winning ways, at
tracted every one, even strangers, 10 him. To
his own family, he was every thing their fond
expectations could wish, handsome, sprightlv
and affectionate; he was the center of their
affections, the object OF their fondest hopes
They had dedicated hum TO the christian minis
try and all his little tastes and habits seemed
to indicate that the good Lord had accepted
the offering. He loved to talk about the church
and Sunday School, and learned very readily
passages Of Scripture, his prayers, and the
catechism. When asked, where is God he
would invariably walk to the door or window.
where he could see the clear sky, and pointing
ing too, as If he had caught a CLEAN from the
glory land, he lifted his hand, and exclaimed
distinctly, up yonderi up yonderl
The ways of Providence are mysterious in
deed, in casting this deep shadow over hap
py, christian home, and in removing young
life which bid fair TO promote the glory of his
kingdom; but we viii not Judge the Lord by
feeble sense. The memory of this precious
child may prove to his parents, h0lier bene-
fit greater comfort, even n purer pleasure,
than would have been his life while a minis
try for good, may have been inaugurated from
his brief soj0urn, more potent than mitered
dignitaries, more eloquent than the tongues of
men and of angels,
ct see by faith little crown
OF gold upon thy brow
/ hear the rustling of thy wings
Thou art an angel now.
"And shall we mourn thy early doom,
Or wish thee back again

THE MT. AUBURN

THE VII. n u B1 AkN
YOUNG LADIES' INSTITUTE
Has beautiful and convenient location
upon the eminence from which it takes its
name. Its history has been a record of I'M
interrupted prosperity.
Its course of instruction runs through
three departments of four years each. Spe-
cial or elective courses of study may be pur-
sued as far as students may wish. Peculiar
advantages are thus offered young ladies
who have already taken the ordinary En-
glish studies. The best of instruction is
given in music, drawing and painting, mod
ern languages and other extras. None but
the most competent teachers are employed.
Apparatus is furnished for every depart
ment. Libraries containing several thou
sand volumes of standard books are always
accessible. Physical culture is carefully at
tended to.

The following, concerning the .initia-
ton of the Father of his Country in Ma
sonry, is from the records of Fredericks-
burg Lodge, No. 4, F. q A. NJ. of Fred
ericksburg, Va, and will no doubt be in
teresting to our readers. 1t was copied
by Pomeroy, and published in the n. I.
Democrat, from which we copy:

The Bible of this old and venerable
Lodge, on which George Washington
was covenanted, was, during the invasion
of the State during the late war nearly
DESTROYED. The hall was visited by men
in the barb of soldiers, the properties of
the Lodge scattered, and the Bible torn
nearly to pieces. Scrap by scrap the
same was recovered, taken to Richmond,
and there received the careful attention
of Masonic bookbinder, who restored it
somewhat to its original shape; and thus
has a Masonic relic, valuable to the
American people, whether Masons or
otherwise, been placed in an exhibitable
shape to such as make visit to Freder
icksburg Lodge, their Masonic Mecca.
On the fy-leaf of the Bible is the fol-
lowing beautiful opening prayer:
Oh, God, Divine Architect of the Uni
verse, we bow with gratitude of Thy
Omnipotence. We acknowledge Thee as
the Creator and Preserver of all things.
We thank Thee for the daily blessings
conferred on us, and humbly pray Thou
mayest assist us in all our undertakings.
More Particularly, oh God, we crave Thy
presence at this meeting. Do Thou
preside over us in the spirit of Peace,
Love, and charity, and to Thy Holy
name be power and dominion forever.
| Amen.

Save the Little Ones.

a few years ago a steamer was coming
from California. The cry of Fire !
Firei" suddenly thrilled every heart.
Every effort was made to stay raging
flames; but in vain. 1t soon became ev-
ident that the ship must be lost, and the
only thought now was self-preservation
The burning ship was headed for the
shore, which was not far off. A passen-
ger was seen buckling his belt of gold
around his waist, ready to plunge into the
wave. when just at that moment a voice
arrested his attention. ''Please, sir, can
you swim?" A childs pleading blue eyes
were piercing into his deepest soul as he
looked down upon her. Eyes, child,
can swim" "Well, sir, won't you please
to save me?"
l cannot do both he thought; I must
save the child and lose the gold. But a
moment ago | was anxious for all the
ships company; now l am doubling

for paltry gold. Unbuckling the belt, he
quickly cast it from him, and said, "Y es,
little girl, | will try to save you"

land" The child bowed herself on his
broad shoulders, and chung to her deliv-
erer.
With heart thrice strengthened and
an arm thrice nerved, he struck out bold
ly for the shore. Wave after wave wash
ed over them; still the brave man held
out, and the dear child held on, until a
mountain billow swept the sweet treasure
from his embrace, and cast him sense
less on the bleak rocks. But ready and
willing hands were there to grasp him,
and kind hearts ministered to him.
Recovering his consciousness, the slight
form of the dear child met his earliest
gaze, bending over him and blessing with
mute but eloquent benedictions.
So, dear fellow-workers, and lovers of
the little ones, let us bend our hearts to
the burden of the precious souls of the
children. Let US take them in the strong
arms of our faith and our prayers, and
bear them up through the storms of life /;
and though the rude waves of sin may
tear them from our grasp, yet who knows,
but by and by, when we get on the other
shore, we may be welcomed by the little
ones we have tried to save Halls Jour-

The Grand Secretary takes occasion to
say that while he will readily give his
opinion on all questions of Masonic Law
or Usage that may be submitted to him,
he wishes it to be understood that such
opinions are simply those of an individual,
and should not be considered as official.
We advise our brethren to address all
such questions TO the Committee on Ma
sonic Law and jurisprudence, which is
composed Of Bros. Geo. II. Gray, ST.,
Chairman, Clinton, Giles NJ. Hillyer,
Vicksburg, and Jas. NJ. Howry, Oxford.
A prompt reply will always be given.
This committee usually report their decis-
ions to the Grand Lodge, and thus a
record Is made for the benefit of others
seeking light on the subjects considered.
We would be glad, too, if that committee
would avail itself Of our Masonic Depart
ment for the discrimination of their views
on disputed points among the Craft.

EXAMBLE.-Many brethren, by the
time they have been eight or ten years in
the Order, become wearied with work,
and gradually retire from active labors
Have too much to do"-stam getting
old, and do not 60 out at night-let the
younger men do the work, etc.
We wish to point all such brethren to
an example:-we have just received a
letter from Arkansas, ordering the Histo-
ry of the Knights Templars. The writer
seems to be deeply interested in Masonic
literature, and anxious to acquire Masonic
knowledge. He is High Priest of Mon
tieello Chapter, No. Is, and T. Ill. of
Cephas Council, No. 8, both at Monticel-
10, Ark. He does not say so, but we
should not be surprised to learn that he
was Senior Deacon of his Lodge. He
adds this significant sentence, however.
at the close Of his letter,-s1 am in my
eighty-frst year.
Only eighty-one, presiding in two Ma
sonic bodies, and sending for Masonic
works to read Shame ON you young
men of thirty or forty, who cant find
time to read Masonic paper, nor even
attend the Lodge. OF what use are such
Masons as Masons Masonic Review.

Finding ont a Masonic secret.

An anecdote is related of a brother
who was noted for his acts of charity, and
who YVES man of good presence and a
favorite among the ladies-so much so as
to cause some degree of jealousy on the
part of his worthy spouse. One evening
a bundle came to his house for him label
ed "private" OF course, this was suf-
fcient for female curiosity, and therefore
size INDUCED in an inspection. Horror of
horrors Blankets, baby linen, dc. +,
greeted her astonished vision, and dreams
of two families foated through her brain.
The husband soon came in, and after tea
he took the bundle and went out-but
not alone-for the jealous wife was ON his
track. He halted before a small tene-
ment, which he entered. Here she paus-
ed to hold council of war. She deter
mined to storm the citadel; she knocked,
and hastily brushed past the little child
who answered the summons. She stood
in an instant before her astonished hus-
band, the embodiment of injured inno-
cence. Her feeling were about to find
expression, when the scene before her
caused her to pause. A pale and care
worn man, shivering over the expiring
embers of scanty fire, poor woman on
sick bed, a babe not old enough for
christening, and two little girls slowed
away on some straw in corner, met her
ferocious gaze. She read the story at
glance, and returned home with her hus-
band, better and wiser woman, satisfied
that she had discovered the great secret
of Masonry.
