SECRETS OF MAsoNRY.-Old Zach Wheeler
was quite a character in his time, being a
clever, easy-going, confding man, who man
aged to let everybody cheat him out of his in
herited estates. just as his last farm was
about to slip out of his ha:is, he succeeded
in raising the money to hil the mortgage.
Aaron Remer, prominent Mason, accompa-
MED him to the town. AS they were riding
along on horseback, Zach says to Aaron, in a
eonhding tone:
''Now, Aaron, we are here, all alone, and I
want yon TO tell me the secrets of Masonry. -
~ can't, Zach, they would kill me- -
why, no they won't; they'll never find it
out. '4r- y--rg $4,000. -.---.
YES they will; you'll speak of it,
mo, swear i won't" .....
"Well, if you'll ride close alongside of me,
and put your hand on my thigh, and take he
oath III administer, I'll tell you the secrets
Of Masonry"
Zach was not slow TO comply; and a most
powerful ''iron-clad oath" was administered
and taken.
Now for the secrets" exclaimed the impa-
tent and unsuspecting victim. ..f
well" said Aaron, with mock solemnity
and secresy, Tin the first place, we Masons
combine together to cheat everybody as much
rs we can. This is the first grand secret.
The second is like unto it. When We can't
md anybody else to cheat, We cheat each 9TH
er, but as little as we can"
well" exclaimed Zach, with evident sur
prise, IL swear I'll join. l wish had done

A Funeral discourse.


The readers Of the Drawer have, within
the past year or two, been edited with the pc
rusal Of sermon on the ''harp of a thousand
strings, and the farewell discourse Of Broth
er Watkins 2 The tone4 of these discourses
might, IL general way, be called pleasing.
Not SO. however. the following BRIEF allusion
from the pulpit TO young man OF different
position in fths social circles of B.. New
Hampshire, who came 10 an early decease by
vigorous but absurdly unequal contest with
party Of the Otard family, The preacher
who dictated at the final solemnifies i'm
proved the occasion by making the following
remarks:
hev bin requested, not tn say importoon-
ed, to deliver funeral discourse on this &C.
casion, and hey reluctantly consented to do
50. never hesTed any good Of the decease
yit; and if the friends hey made up their
minds that am about to begin sech a course
now they are very much mistaken. / esti-
mate, in fact. that this young man, now a lyin
before you, was about the wust man ever per
mitted, in The onscrutable WAYS of the divine
peppusses, to locate in this vicinity. He was
one who might say alters fell when tempted;
and he sertingly appeared 10 me TO seek rather
than to avoid, occasions for such foundations
Why, my fellers Christians, he KEEP bosses
and run EN-; he KEEP cocks and fit tem; and
rs toe wimmin, let his wilder (who see
settin' IN a front pew, testify. (Here the
widow arose, as was the custom when the
family OF the deceased was alluded to, and,
deeming II complimentary remark. cOurte-
sled TO the preacher.) In short, after dill
gent inquiry into the FERTILIZERS of his kerrik-
ter and conduct while he has resided in this
village, 1 hev come to the konklusion that
about the only good thing that kin be said
Of him at all is that he was an active member
of the engine company, and occasionally good
at fires.
The pail bearers will now proceed to bear
out the corpse, while the choir will sing. as
an appropriate hymn, the 33d hymn, I'd book,

their house; but Katie would contrive
to change the subject as soon as pos
sible.
Daily and almost hourly they, were
! thrown into one another's society and
Katie experienced a new feeling of
rest and confidence as she rambled,
day after day, among the beautiful
| scenery.
The summer was far advanced and
still our friends fingered, 10th to leave
their quiet retreat for the noise of the
metropolis; but Mr.. Lee finally decided
to return home, as business required his
attention. H
| The last day on the mountain Katie
and Mr.. Norton started to take fare
we'll look at their favorite valley.
| While looking down at it admiringly,
she said, "This has been such pleas
ant summer, and | have been so happy
| here !"
1T is the happiest summer OF my
| life,' Mr.. Norton exclaimed; and only
for one thing ! should be the happiest
man in the world. Dear Katie, forgive
me, but l have not forgotten that the
prize covet more than any other in the
thought adds bitter drop to my cup of
happiness.
Katies heart throbbed tumultuously
as she listened to the impassioned
words. Here was her happiness almost
within her reach. Should she put down
her timidity, and make herself and this
man sunshine for life?
Forgive me-" he said, after silence
of some moments; would not offend
you, even at the cost of my life's hap
piness. Tell me you forgive me, Ka-
tie"
have nothing to forgive, Mr.. Nor
ton," Katie answered, he neart throb-
bing painfully and added, with great
| effort: You are mistaken in your
surmise. | have been free from any en-
gagement for year. IF you want me, /
am yours" And she hid her face upon
his shoulder.
"Do you mean what you say, my dar
ling?" he exclaimed. "My Katie at
lastw And he covered her face with
kisses.
Then Katie told him all the history of
| the past year, and he listened to it all
his brow growing dark at Mr.. Grey's in
sulting words, but becoming bright
again at her expressions of faith in him.
The sun was sinking low when they
returned to the house. Mr.. Lee was
alone when they entered and walking
up to him, Mr.. Norton said, "I love
your daughter, Mr.. Lee, and we have
come for your consent to our union"
"You are the only man in the world
who should have her." he answered !;
"but believe you are worthy of her.
May you both be very happy. Katie
has been good daughter, and will
prove good wife. God bless you, my
KATIE and he kissed her affection
ately.
The wedding came off in due time,
and a happier fireside is not to be found
in all England than the home of our
friend Katie, who reigns supreme in the
hearts of husband and father.
