shadows over the rock, leaving scarce :
trace behind. But what became OF Free
masonry? Did her enemies accomplish
her destruction? Nay, verify. she rose
triurnphaptlv above their crumbling dy-
uasties. fresh In beauty and In might
She has outlived the monumental marble
of her foes, laughing to scorn their IN
scriptions and the hands that wrote them.
She has celebrated the funeral Of kings
and kingdoms that plotted her destruction,
and with the inscription of their Intoler-
ant pride has transmitted to posterity the
record of their shame For the space of
three thousand years, the fercest light
nings of religious bigotry have been bla-
zing about her pinnacles, and the hottest
.hunderbolts of partisan hate have been
hurled against her majestic columns but,
divinely supported by wisdom, strength
and beauty, the venerable temple still
remains uncoAsumed by the lightning,
and undemolished by the thunderbolt, ar
rayed in all its beauteous proportions and
dazzling splendor
It is true that during these fierce storms
of persecution we have occasionally seen
our beloved institution glimmering, like
the pale star of morn, betwixt light and
darkness on the horizons verge, but when
the storm-cloud has passed away it has
left our sky more clear and bright and
beautiful than before, like those tempests
in the physical world which seem to walk
our skies only to give the rainbow birth
That Almighty Architect, who Gin the
beginning" assigned the star Of Masonry
its place in the moral heavens, and said,
''Let there be light, has never permitted
it to become as one of the "'Lost Plei-
ades," but throughout the long night OF
ages it has, under His all-seeing eye, con-
tinued to beam on the pathway of erring
humanity, and is to-day shedding abroad
over the earth a moral radiance brighter
far than when, at its early rising in the
esst, it first flashed its respondent light
around the brow of Mount Moriah

crane vines i'm Cities.

No householder has any good excuse
for not having grape vine or two on his
premises, however contracted his premi-
ses may be. If your ground extends but
two feet from your house, plant grape
vine and train it up to the side of your
house, and plant a good one. Many
people get wild vine to shade door or
a piazza-one which never fruits, and if
it does, its fruit is good for nothing, when
they might just as well have one that
would yield them from one to three or
four bushels of good wholesome grapes
every year.
In field culture, it is true, they expect
but few grapes from single vine, be-
cause they train them low and have a
great many of them. But really it is
single grape vine. A gentleman of We
racity once told US he had seen single
vine, black Hamburg, in European
city, which yielded two tons of grapes
annually. 1t is no uncommon thing in
New York city for a grape vine to be
trained to the top of a four-story mansion,
and to produce eight or ten bushels of
grapes We once saw a Clinton vine
growing up close beside kitchen and
spreading over a surface of near five
hundred square feet, and must had upon
it at least ten bushels of grapes.
If you have no room but the side OF
your house, or the roof of kitchen OF
shed, get a vine which will stand the
winter without taking down. The Gin
ton will do it, and probably the Concord,
as the house affords great protection
but get the best that will stand the winter
and it viii afford shade and ornament in
summer, and give crop of grapes every
year which is one form or another will
last you all winter and add dainty lux
ury to your table The labor of it will
be mere amusement You can put such
a vine where you can put nothing else,
and it will thank you many times and
repay you well for your hospitality

William Griffith, now awaiting trial
for murder in New York, must be a
pleasant sort of fellow. On Christmas
day he found his wi6e lying drunk on the
floor, and thereupon kicked her, ssbut
denies that he used unusual violence. I"
This leads to the inquiry whether, In the
society of which Mrs. Ann Griffith must
have been an ornament, it is usual for
husbands TO kick drunken wives: wheth-
or the practice, upon the whole. is reck-
oned beneficial; and what was the degree
OF violence s'usual'' on such occasions In
Mr.. Grif6th's family! We may add that
Mrs. @. did not get up when she was
kicked, and the nsxt time DIR. Griffith
came that way, he says he found her
dead.

Prosecutions of FreemasOnry.

The following extract is from the an
nual address of M. w. Bro. Elisha 5.
Fitch, g. Master, delivered before the
Grand Lodge of Kentucky, October 18th
last, and was caused by that spirit of anti
Masonry which, since the subsistence of
our national troubles, has been cropping
out in various localities:
The persecution of Freemasonry, by
religious zealots, has been too long our
portion, to our praise, for US to hope it
will ever be withdrawn. But while true
To ourselves, and the sublime principles of
the fraternity, we need fear no opposition
from without. This has ever been our
heritage. The entire history of the in
stituion only proves
sIIow sublime a thing It is
To suffer and be strong"
To blot out her memorial from under
heaven, the most furious efforts Of fanat-
icism, the most ingenious arts of states
men, and the concentrated strength of
empires have been employed. Her enc
mics have reioiced when she languished,
and erected monuments, as they vainly
imagined, of her perpetual overthrow.
She has been prescribed and prosecuted
''by spiritual wickedness in high places,
threatened and banished by the edicts of
ruling sovereigns, and boldly assaulted by
cruel and hlood-thirsty tyrants. But
where now are those tyrants, and where
now their empirusi They have long since
vanished from the earth their names

AN INCIDENT OF THE LATE
REBELLION.


Of all the anecdotes told of Gen. Lee, we
have not read or heard any that tells of the
quiet humor OF his character, and this want
we can supply: While the army were
camped around Hagerstown in tho first
Maryland campaign, we were serving with
the rear guard, commanded by an officer
Of the LIST Georgia regulars. For three DAYS
the guard and soma 60 prisoners had sub
sisted on apples, green corn, ETC., and no
ratiOns lad been issued to US in that time
In approaching Hagerstown, We passed by
the tent of Gen. Lee, and be was walking
up and down before it, apparently in deep
thought
The Georgia officer said; al will go to
Gen. Lee and complain that l have no
rations, and ask for an order some" 'Do not
disturb him, he has enough of care" We
advised. Yes, | will, said the officer, and
he halted the command and approached the
general, who looked mp as he came near,
and said: "Well, captain, what is it9'
General" said the officer, "for three days
and nights have been here with a guard

ounce of food whatever"
Rapidly General Lee replied, "My dear
sir, is it possible. You are the man that
have been searching for. Walk into my
tent at once, and impart to me the secret
by which you subsist men without food.
1t is problem that has given me more
concern than all others With your knowl.
edge we can dispense with these long supply
trains, and ali the trouble we are at to OBJ
tain food. Walk in and let me hear so
valuable q fact which is sure to obtain our
success"
The officer of the Georgia regulars looked
at Lee in amazement and made no reply.
lie lifted his hat and turned to his COM
mand the word Forward rang with sturdy
emphasis from his lips. From that timo
f,rward until his anDihilated regiment left
the Army of Northern Virginia for Macon
TO recuperate, he was never known to com.
plain or grumble, and radical defect in his
character was completely cured by the
quiet bumor of Gen. Lee-Er.

A Thrilling Incident.

The Americus (GL) Republican reports
the following incident at a fire which des-
croyed the dwelling house of Col. w. A.
Maxwell, Of this places:
Miss Sallie Maxwell in her efforts to save
everything of value in the house, that she
conld, was delayed in the second story of the
building until the @ had destroyed the
.ower story, so much that there was danger
oC the walls falling in every minute. See
ing her danger, she gathered few articles
for the purpose of taking final leave Of the
house. On entering the hall from the room
she was in to her horror and dismay she
saw that the stairway was in solid sheet
of flames There was only one way of es-
..ape now, and that was through the front
window of the second story, where the fiery
clement had not communicated itself Go
ing out on the top Of the colOnnade her
.E ful situation was Immediately realized by
he crowd below, and the anxiety depicted
N every countenance showed the deep feel
20 that stirred the soul of every one. A
,dder Was brought, but it was to short to
reach the roof. and was Of nc avail. With
ne cracking flames behind and around,
a ID making the most rapid headway imagin-
able. every mument was precious beyond
c ,nputation. The only chance for life now

SAFE DEBTORS.

The following fro q the Liverpool Mail,
disclOses an important fact, and no person
can deuy that this new test of willingness
in debtors to pay is bassed upon common
sense
We were not aware until recently that
many newspaper publishers are consulted, to
large extent, by people in order to ascer.
tain the peculiar standing of persons. Debts
'or newspapers become due once a yeal,
aud persons who pay up regularly once .
a year for tEeI, PAPER, are considered
'romPt m N and worthy Of confidence. We
had pers come into our ofsce the other
day and say
"DO you send yonr paper to Mr. Nj"
We replied that we did
"Well," said the man, "he owes me IS,
and can't get It, / don't think he's good"
We looked secretly at his account and
found him paid up. We then replied to tn e
enquirer:
ii'at man is good Your debt is safe.
He may have forgotten it, or something
sc may nave prevented his paying, but he
good"
The mans eyes frightened. He said:
81 have written to several printers, and
"uld not find where ho took a paper;
aonght of you, and said l would come
rrre"
This is the way to find out whether people
IRE good. We ascertain what papers they
AXE, and cOntrive some way to peep into
their accounts. Men who are good are
very sure to pay for their newspapers; and
if they don't pay for these, We don't think
Them good. We were forcibly struck By
the idea.
well, said he. 81 will send my bill by
the posi-"
In few days the person came in again.
Said he, 81 sent my bill
"Well, did he pay your"
Yes sill" and opening his hand he
showed US the draft There" said be,

whether mans good, there's a complete
