No." said his mother, he bronI-

my leave, and hc ditCUyS Keeps his

But seven o'clock came. then eight,
and the mother Was still watching and
listening for the step of Alfred: but it
was halt-paSt eight before his merry
shouts and whistle were heard, when
he ran into the gate.
. Confess now" said the mrighbor,
. that you have been to the river with
the other boys, and 50 kept away till

How the boys eye flashed, and the
crimson mounted to his cheeks!

Impressive MasOsie Ceremony.

The most interesting and Impressive
Masonic funeral ever solemniZed in
Cincinnati, was that of the late How
ard Matthews, which took place on
Sunday, March 90. For the first time
on such an occasion the inner sanctua-
ny of the Masonic Temple of that city,
The finest in the world, was opened to
the public. From the account in the
Commercial we copy a portion, especi-
ally interesting to the brethren of the
Ancient and Accepted Rite:
In behalf of the Scottish rite, EnOch
T. Carson, Grand Commander of the
Grand ConsistOry of Ohio, holding in
his right hand q gold ring, advanced
to the front, and while Charles Mat
thews, son of the deceased brother,
arose, said:
" Charles Matthews, twelve years
ago your father took a most solemn de-
gree in Masonry, within these walls,
kneeIing at that sacred altar on which
was resting the open Holy Bible, the
foundation upon which the whole SUI
perstructure of Freemasonry Is reared.
The ceremonies were of the most SOL
emn and impressive character, and as
q VI lAtetA lAe-4
and as a continual reminder to him of
the ceremony and the lesson taught by
it, he was presented with this gold ring,
which he was instructed he should
ever wear upoh the third finger of his
left hand, and with which he should
neN er part until death, and then only
to his oldest son or his dearest friend.
You are his only son, and to YOU now
give up this ring"
Then, turning to the BIasons:
Brethren, Grand Elect, Perfect and
Sublime Masons, let the present Occa-
sion awaken in your memories the le-
gend of this ring. Remember that, 500
ner or later, we know not how soon, our
bodies, like our brothers. which now
lies before us, will be cold and inani-
mate in the embrace of death, and the
ring you now wear will have to be
transferred to your oldest son or dear
est friend. May we ever remember the
legend inscribed in this ring, which is
an emblem of eternity: Aors non
disj,ngit q,lOd yiytus cOnjt0lgt.'" "

KATIE LEE AND WILLIE GREY.

IA AAAkE LEE AND WILLIE UAsE
Two brown heads with tossing curls,
Red lips shutting over pearls,
Bare feet white and wet with dew,
Two eyes black and two eyes blue;
Little boy and little girl were they
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They where standing where q brook,
Bending like shepherds crook,
Flashed Its silver; and thick ranks
OF green willow fringed with banks
Half in thought and half in play,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They had cheeks like cherries red,
He was talleT-mOst head;
She, with arms like wreath5 OF snow,
Swung q basket to and fro,
As she iOitered half in play,
Chattering to Willie Grey.
Pretty Katie" !" Willie said,
And there came a flash OF red
Through the brownness OF his cheek
. Boys are strong and girls are weak
And Ill carry, so will,
katie'S basket up the hill"
Katie answered in q laugh,
- You shall carry only hair;
And then, tossing back her cuTl-,
Boys are weak as well as girls.
Do you think that Katie guessed
Half the wisdom she expressed
Men are only boys grown tall,
Hearts don't change much alter Rll,
And when, long years from that day
Katie Lee and Willie Grey
Stood again beside the book,
Bending like shepherds crook,
Is it strange that Willie said,
While again q daShing red
Crossed the BROWNIES of his cheek
- I am strong, but yOu are weak,
Life is but a slippery steep,
Hung with shadows cold and deep!
Will you trust me, Katie dear,
Walk beside me without fear?
May 1 carry if will,
All your burdens up the hIll2
And she answered with a laugh.
- No-but you may carry half"
Close beside the little brook,
Bending like the shepherds crook.
Washing with its silver hands,
Late and early at the sands,
Is the cottage, where to-day
Katie lives with Willie Grey.
In the porch she sits, and 10!
Swings n basket to and fro.
Vastly different from the one
That she swung in years agone-
This is long, and deep, and wide,
And has rockers on each side!

Dumb animals sometimes -Ct us good

OF two horses.
In the town of indianapolis, there
WaS a blind horse, who, one day hast
SPINNER, wandered into the river, and
then did not know nOw To get back to
dry land.
Now, there was good horse whom
the boys called Dick, and who w;,~
grazing close by, when he saw She
blind horse swimming round i'm the
river, and trying in vain 1" find thc
solid shore.
Dick must have thought to himself.
" hat poor horse can't see, or lc
would not act in that strange way.
will call him; perhaps he will mind
my voice. ,"
So Dick began TO neigh a. loud "a he
could; but the blind horse still was at
Il loss to know which way to turn.
Perhaps he was deaf as we'll as blind
for, though Die -ould neigh quite
loud.the poe nd horse still could
mott ya'S~Out of the river.
; TheIi must have thought,
That I'OOT horse will get tired by and
by, and sink and drown if ] do not
help him"
Then Dick went down tu the river,
and swan out to where the blind horse
was, and touched noses, as much as ln
say, Follow me ;" and then guided
the blind horse safely tONthe shore.
This kind act was seen by Il great
many people on the shore: and they
chcered loudly as Dick came up on the
bank with the I,lind horse behind him.
hope you will be ready to help Il
friend in need as poor Dick was. We
must learn to be Kind to one another,
for kind acts and kind feelings will
make us happy.-NtJTse y.

Position in Sleeping.

1t is better to go to sleep on the right
side, for then the stomach is very much
in the position of bottle turned upside
down, and the contents of it are aided
in passing out by gravitatiOn. If one
goes to sleep on the left side, the opera
ton of cmptying the stomach of its
contents is more like drawing water
from a well. After going to sleep, let
the body take its own position. If you
sleep on your back, especially soon after
a hearty meal, the weight of the diges-
tive organs and that Of the food, rest
ing OH the great vein of the body near

the arrest is partial, the sleeps disturb

The Radical plot has been ventilated;
and rather too soon, in one respect. "A
brief delay might have enabled those
engaged in collecting facts and figures
to have presented more formidable and
startling statement; though enough is
now made known to warn the people Of
impending danger The Radical lead
ers have seen for some time that every
day was weakening their hold upon the
government of the country. The APP
pies of reconstruction have turned to
ashes on their lips. They know that
there is not one State in the South.

penalties of reconstruction, would vote

fear Democratic Legislature would be

They want some preteXt by which to
place the whole South under military

only hope for averting the election Of a

is now here for the purpose Of procuring

largely to his ill-gotten gains at the ex-
pensc of the State Of Georgia. A close
observer of the proceedings of the Sen
ate cannot tail to notice that what passes
for conservatism is simply q mere in
sdious way of undermining the rights
and liberties of the people. Drake,
Sumner, Wilson, and others, speak out
boldly and dehantly, and make no Sc
crct of their purposes, while those who
take issue with them merely sugar coat
the pills prepared for the people to
swallow, that they may go down more
easily. The effect. however, is the
same in the end, ana the predictions Of

olution is imminent seem III fair way
to be verified.

cHURcH AND STATE.

An undisguised and formidable move-
ment has been started in this Country for
the establishment of "Church of State"
In view of our political Tenderness to alb
soIutism it looks as if an alliance at once
fatal to religious and political liberty has
been formed. 1t seems too, as if the
American people, having been entrusted
with he custody of religious and politi-
cal liberty, and found incapable are to
be subjected to the tortnring ordeal
through which man learns their value.
The New York Jelcish Times says of
this movement:
1.-THE agitation on the part of those
pietists is assuming serious phase, and
it becomes the duty Of all good citizens,
who are not willing to surrender the lib.
critics which form the ground work of
this government, to take energetic steps
to counteract the willy Vaccinations OF
these men. 1t will not do to look on
calmly aud wait until the best interests
of the people are jcopardized, and then
raise hue ana cry this unhol y agita-
ton must be crushed in its inception
The people who prize freedom OF CON
science, liberty Of religion, must club
together, and demonstrate that they are
just as earnest in maintaining and pre-
serving our liberties, as the others are
in undermining and destroying them.
Yes, the people must be reused The
alarm bell must be rung in :irne, before
it is too late, before the Philistines have
MS fairly in their power
Let the people understand that if once
the satan Of religious intolerance aud
prescription is invoked and conjurcd up
from his dark abode, lie cannot be sent
back again without becoming stepped
into blood!
Oh F! the Spcctrcs and monsters that
vii, fill the atmosphere; that will poison
mems minds the prejudice and the pas
sions Of fanaticism, hate, and intolerance
that " i'll be reused, if our politics become
imp gnatcd with religious and sectaran
agitations
We see already enacted again the
horrors of Bartholomew's night, the ORA
goonades, the Sicilian vcspcr, aud kin
dred tragedies
Beware! beware ! before you trans
form again, men into ticnds, and human
beings into bIood-thirsty bruros, in the
name of God, in the name Of religion +!
Let no one remain Indifferent let no
one think that he eau afford to stand
aloof, because convinced that no pracii-
cal results will come out of it. We tell
