CHARLES CARROLL OF CARRoLLToN.
AN INCIDENT AT THR SIGNING OF TIE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
BIZ JOHN wEsTALL.


John Haneock's bold and vigorous hand
Has marked indelibly the page,
That told the sufferings of our land,
The strength of her heroic age.
And he who first from Heaven had drawn
The lghtning's forked and quivering fame,
On that, ir Freedoms birth day morn,
Appended there his generous name.
And there in bright succession rose,
Like stars upon the unfading sky,
The autographs of men who chose
To live ia freedom, or to die;
Who pledged life, fortune. honor, all,
Those sacred precepts to defend,
Whose light Humanity lets fall
On those who feel the name of friend.
When up rose Carroll he whose wealth
Was great. whose natural bounties large
Nor quaiisd he, neither sought by stealth
TIC escape the odious freedom charge.
Yet if he would he might have done,
For there were others named like him
Yet, stainless, Liberty's, trae son,
He could not on the foul tide swim.
And when men whispered. ssMillions go'f
As up he walked. he still walked on;
And when they added, ''None will know
Charles Carroll wrote, s'of Corrollton
That all might know whose name shone there,
Amidst that glorious patriot band
Might know the lions very lair.
When Freedom huntsman filed the land.

White Gloves.

In every Masonic Lodge in the world
Masons are expected to be clothed with
white gloves. In foreign rites they are
expressly presented to a candidate at his
making, and their symbolism explained.
In the French and German rite the candi-
date receives in addition pair of gloves
suitable for a lady, which he is enjoined
to present to the woman he most esteems.
In our Lodges 10 reference is made to the
gloves, and the candidate is left to guess
at the propriety Of wearing them. Or the
symbolic lesson conveyed by them. We
take this to be an oversight that we'll
might be remedicd, and we think that we
might with great propriety introduce into
our limitations the two pairs of gloves, as
is customary among our bretheren practic-
ing European forms Of initiation. Among
us the white apron is presented as the en-
blem of innocence and the badge of Ma
son. It's material reminds US that purity
of life and rectitude in all our acts are re-
quisite to those who seek admission to
better life hereafter This symbolism
comes to Us from the remotest ages, and is
found in all the ancient systems OF initia-
tivn Among the Essences the candidate
was clothed with a long white robe which
reached to the ground, and which was
bordered with blue fringe. Its teaching
was an Indictment to personal holiness,
while the girdle reminded the neophyte
that the mental powers were to be cultiva-
ted as superior to the ply zeal. In the
Grecian mysteries the candidate was in
vested with white robe and apron. In
Persia the investiture consisted Of the Cir
die on which the zodiacal signs were rep
resented, the white apron and tunic. In
all these the idea conveyed was the same.
as taught in the modern investlture-rec-
titude of life and conduct. In the French
rite the white gloves are the sign of can
dor, the symbol Of such conduct as shall
lead men to regard the wearer's word as
good as his bond-a pledge that he will
not disgrace himself by a resort to cbican-
cry and deception so common among men.
| Every Mason should seek SO to walk be-
fore his neighbors and friends as to prove
his trankness and sincerity, and ever be
able TO exhibit bis hands clothed as with
gloves in candor, honesty and sincerity;
and we submit that every apprentice would
be the better fer having this lesson pre-
scented to him at his initiation. Every
Mason knows that woman cannot be al
lowed to participate in our labors, but he
knows also thatit is impossible TO ineul-
cate more fully ideas Of respect and adj
miration for female virtue than We find in
the several lectures and charges of the ri
tual, or to enforce due regard for these
things under more solelnn sanctions than
are set forth in the several degrees. Az
a symbol of this appreciation, the white
gloves appear to US peculiarly appropriate,
and their introduction into our system
would, we imagine, be accepted, and APP
proved At all events, there should be
some official and distinct recognition of the
white gloves. -Notioaal Freenaason

CURIosITIgs OF EARTH At the city Of
Medina in Italy, and about four miles
around it, wherever the earth is dug,
when the workmen arrive at distance of
sixty three feet. they come to bed of
chalk, which they bore with an auger five
feet deep. They then withdraw from the
pit before the anger is removed, and upon
its extraction the water bursts up throagh
the aperture with great violence, and
quickly fills the newly made we'll, which
continues full and is affected by neither
rains nor drought. But what is the most
remarkable III this operation is the layers
of earth as we descend. At the depth Of
fourteen feet are found the ruins of an
ancient city, paved streets. house, doors,
and different pieces of mason work
Under this is found a soft, oozy earth,
made up of vegetables. and at twenty-six
feet large trees entire. such as walnut
trees, with the walnut still stuck to the
stem, and the leaves and branches in a
perfect state Of preserv stion. At twenty
eight feet deep soft chalk is found
mixed with vast quantity of shells, and
the he'd is eleven feet thick. Un!er this
vegetables are found again.
