A TATooED FREEMAsCN.-The first Masonic funer-
al that ever occurred in California, took place in
lS40, and performed over a brother found
drowned in the Bay of San Francisco. An account
of the ceremonies states that the body of the de-
ceased was found silver mark of Mason, upon
which were engraved the initials OF his name. lit
tie further investigation revealed to the beholder the
most singular exhibition of Masonic emblems that
was ever drawn by The ingenuity of man upon the
human skin. There is nothing in the history or
traditions OF Freemasonry equal to it. Beautifully
dotted upon his left arm, in red and blue ink which
time could not efface, appeared all the emblems of
the entire apprenticeship. There were the Holy
Bible, square and compass, the twenty-iour inch
gauge and common gavel. There were also the Mas
ouic pavement, representing the ground floor Of
King sUlomou's Temple, the Identical tessel which
surrounds it, and the blazing star in the centre On
his right arm, and artisicaly executed in the same
indelibe liquid, were the emblems pertaining to the
fellowcratts degree, viz, the square, the level and
the plumb. There were also the FIVE columns re-
presenting the five orders of architecture-the Tus
can, Doric, Ionic, CorinthiaD, and Composite. In
removing his garments from bis body, the trowe
presented ITSELF with all the other tools of operative
masonry Over his heart the pot of incense.

book of constitutions guarded by the Tyler's sword
pointing to the naked heart; the Allseting eye the
anchor and ark, the hourgass, the scytbe the forty
seventh problem OF Euclid, the sun, moon, stars,
and comets; three steps which are emblematical Of
youth, manhood, and age. Admirably executed was
the weeping virgin, reclining a broken column
upon which lay the book of constitutions. In her
left hand she held the pot of incense, the Masonic
emblem of pure heart, and in her upliiied hand a
sprig of aeasia, the emblem of the immortality Of
the soul. Immediately beneath her stood winged

Honesty Reward led,

\ touching story, the moral Of which Is
that honesty is the best policy, is told by
the New York Standard. Two honest
men, whose initials are respectively c. and
g., met in New York some time since.
They were afflicted with congestion of
pockct-book, and they didn't know how to
raise what Is popularity known as the wind.
But c. became possessed Of an idea, and it
was happy one. "Ihis is the plant he
said. I've found a man fool enough 10
lend me 500. The great race between
Longfellow and Uelmbold comes off next
week at Saratoga. Wen 90. Thcreli be

low, Of course. Ill bet Helmbold and
you'll be stakeholder. After the first bet
YOU give me the stakes and III bet the full
amount, make you holder again, take them
again, bet again, and 50 on Then we
suddenly leave and divide the pile See ?"
The proposition, which was highly origi-
nal one, we believe, was accepted. con
the day of the great contest" says the
Standard, "they were on the ground.
The plan worked. Soon G., as stakehold-
er, had $4,000 in his possession, then they
thought it convenient to leave before the
race came off. They went. During the
race they were coming to New York ut the
rate Of thirty miles an hour; planning to
rusticate until the affair blew over. " hen
they came out of the Hudson River Rail
road depot the first news they heard was
that lIelmbold had won They We're not
astonished, perhaps-at least not more so
than everybody else They had fairly won
their money! They were honest men and
need not run away. They didn't. Virtue
is its own reward Honesty is the best
policy"

which the services proceeded.
A certain beadle had fancied the manse

with thirty or forty different sauces, and as
he was afraid he might lose his magnificent
position if he did not comply with the
