Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and New

The question was discussed in Cali

success of the Republican ticket.

THE FIRST NEWSPAPER.

An ingenius physician of Paris
Renaudot by name more than two
hundred years ago hit upon a good
idea for cutting out" his more
learned brethren, which he was not
long in putting into execution, to
his own no small advantage, and the
great chagrin of his brother profes-
sionals. His plan was an extreme
ly simple one, for he obtained his
popularity by the very innocent ex-
pedient of collecting information,
and then circulating news sheets
among his patients, for their especi-
al delectation and amusement. But
inasmuch as the seasons were not
always sickly, and found he had
plenty of time on his hands, he was
encouraged by his success to de-
vote his attention more exclusively
to the business of journalism, by
providing the public at large with
news; and accordingly, in 1881, he
succeeded in obtaining for himself
and family the sole privilege of pub
fishing newspaper called the Ga
zette de France. Such, at least, is
the account of the origin of news
papers given by DeSaint Folk.

What Masonry Does.

The following incident illustrates,
in degree, some of the good effects
produced by the teachings of Ma
sonry if properly understood and
practiced, and shows how it con-
ciliates true friendship among those
who might have otherwise remained
at a perpetual distance:
"Two young men had been fast
friends. In an evil hour they quar-
relied. They did not speak, and
had not spoken for years. Mutual
friends tried the art of reconciliation
in vain. They were avowed enemies
for life. One of them became a
Mason after the estrangement, and
it happened that the other remained
ignorant of this fact. One evening
he too was admitted into Lodge.
Almost the first voice he heard, and
certainly the first face he saw, was
that OF his enemy, who presided
over the ceremonies of initiation,
and was obliged, according to usage,
to address him as Brother" This
was a most peculiar situation, and
a severe ordeal for both. After the
Lodge was closed the Entered Ap-
prentice sought the Mason, and
without any preliminaries, the fol-
lowing coloquy ensued, commenced
by the newly made Mason:
care you a member of this
Lodge?"
The answer was, '1 am"
"Were you present when I was
elected ?"
81 was"
"Nlay I ask if you voted"
81 did"
Now, will you tell me how many
votes it requires to reject candi-
date, on ballot for admission
The Master answered "one.'
There was nothing more to say
The initiated extended his hand,
which was warmly grasped by the
other, and uttered with thrilling ac-
cents, deep emotion mellowing his
voice, Friend! Brother! you have
taught me lesson I shall never
forget This is little ray of Ma
sonic light. No language is as elo-
quent as the silent troubling of a
heart full of tears. While this kind
of cement is used in our moral
edifice, should it not be enduring I?
Who can wonder that it is SO
strong ?-E;rchonge.

DISCOVERY OF TWO HUNDRED GIGANTIC
SKELETONS IN CANADA.
GAYUcA, August 81.

GAYUcA, August 81.
On Wednesday last Rev. Nathaniel
Wardell, NIessrs. Grin Wardell (of
Toronto) and Daniel Fredenburg
were digging on the farm of the
latter gentleman, which is on the
banks of the Grand river, in the
township of Cayuga. When they
got five OF six feet below the surface
a strange sight met them. Piled in
layers, one upon top of the other,
were some two hundred skeletons
of human beings, nearly perfect
around the neck of each one being
a string of beads. There were also
deposited in the pit q number of
axes and skimmers made of stone.
In the jaws of several of the slsele-
tons were large stone pipes, one of
which Mr.. o. Wardell took with
him to Toronto year or two after
this Golgotha Vas unearthed.
The skeletons are those of men
of gigantic stature, some of them
measuring nine feet, very few of
them being less than seven feet.
Some of the thigh bones are found
to be at least half a foot longer
than those at present known, and
one of the skulls being examined,
completely covered the head of an
ordinary person. These skeletons
are supposed to be those OF race
of people anterior to the Indians.
Some three years ago the bones Of
o mastadon were embedded in the
earth about six miles from this spot.
The pit and its ghastly occupants
are now open to the view of any
who may wish to make a visit there.

Sincerity.

Give me sincere friends, or none
This hollow glitter of smiles and
words-compliments that mean
neutrality-suspicious. of affection
as solid as the froth upon cham
representations that are pretty
sentences, uttered because such
things are customary-are worth
less to me. 1t is proper to be civil
and courteous to the most indiff-
erent stranger, but why assume
friendships outward show when no
reality underlies it ? When one feels
friendship, the object of that SEN
timent cannot suffer, and leave OF
hearts Acknowledgement be sland-
cred, leaving us unharmed. To see
our friend successful, even beyond
our own powers of success, is a
great Joy to us tohear that friends
applauded is a pleasure. Yet, every
day, men who fancy themselves
friends, show mean envy of each
others lucky hits (; and women,
who kiss on both cheeks when they
meet, whisper treacherous little
stories of each other-yes, and
whisper them to men. So that,
when most women say to me,
1--WE were talking of you just now y
I wonder only-for one is not sin
cere to say it out-whether it has
been possible to squeeze one drop
of scandal into the hundrum story
of my life ; or, failing that, how
many times they have been mul-
tiplying my age by ten, to prove me
older than I confess myself to be.
But it is not sincere to praise every
body. 1t sounds amiable ; but men
cannot all be charming" and
women all $50 sweet"
l like to know from speech of
man or woman that this one is
friend ; that, mere acquaintance.
l think warmhearted people are
never general admirers. All can
not be loved sincerely ; all can not
be really even pleasant. Constant
laudation of everybody may. be a
pleasant form of incincerity, after
all For me if ifheaven will help me,
1 will be sincere. will not abuse
my intimate friends when their
backs are turned ; I will not praise
any oneI do not like (; I will not

l do unto others, may they do unto
me, for I deserve 10 better.-Er

The Young Man and Life.

1t is a great thing for a young
man to find out that he is of the
minimum ofimportance in the world;
that while it demands of him every-
thing that he can do, it can get on
admirably without him. In all its
busy pressing forces, he is not
missed-bless you he has never
been recognized! Don't forget the
mistake made by the fly on the
coach wheel, or the disaster that
overlook the ambition of the frog.
Do all you can, sink all selfish
thought of self; and compel out of
you the best that is in you.
Without morbidness, without mo-
roseness, just this life has said to
me-I think it says it early-Trust
God, and your own right arm.
Look to no compensating charity
from man. Let your compensation
be in the reward of your own soul,
and the humble hoping for the ben
ediction of your God.
In nothing is the young man
more wont to be lax than the mat
ter of habit. Life says to him in
nothing does he more need constant
and anxious care. Habit makes us.
What we are in the habit of doing,
saying, thinking, decides the matter
of character and the success of life.
If life were only a series Of indie
pendent individual acts, were there
no moral continuity to it, no de-
pendence of part on part; if nothing
we're repeated, it would everywhere
be failure. 1t is repetition that
twists the fibre Of existence into
something permanent, coherent.
Otherwise it would only be rope
of sand. And so we ought to have
special care about our first doings
because they entail second doings,
and second doings insure third do
ings, and then heaps on heaps rise,
as Himalay and Andes grow. Vir-
tue is the habit of good; vice is the
habit of bad, that is all. Repeti-
tion make each. Their power, their
majesty, their mischief, are only be-
cause of that. Dogood, with Gods
help, and you can't help being good;
keep doing evil and you can't help
being evil. Honesty, integrity,
truth, avarice, sensuality, theft, are
only hahits-no way separate irre-
sistible acts, and are to be reached
or avoided by forming or avoiding
the habit. Life says to the young
man that its secret lies in the habit
formed and the habit avoided

PROSPECTUS
OF
The L0uisianian.

In the endeavor to establish another
Republican journal in New Orleans,
the proprietors of the LoUIsIANIAN,
propose to fill necessity which has
been long, and sometimes painfully
felt TO exist. In the transition state
ofour people, in their struggling efforts
to attain that position in the Body
Polite, which we conceive to be their
due, it is regarded that much infor-
nation, guidance, encouragement,
counsel and reproof have been lost, in
consequence of the lack of a medium,
through which these deficiencies might
he supplied. We shall strive to make
he LoUIsIANIAN deSiderdt,m in these

PO e T RY.
THE LABORERS.

You can not pay with money
The million sons of toll
The sailor on the ocean.
The peasant on the soil,
The laborer in the quarry,
The newer of the coal;
Your money pays the hand,
But it can not pay the soul.
You gaze on the cathedral
Whose turrets meet the sky:
Remember the foundations
That in earth and darkness lie:
For, were not those foundations
So darkly resting there,
Yon towers up could never soar
So proudly in the air.
The workshop must be crowded,
That the palace may be bright:
If the ploughman did not plough,
Then the poet could not write.
Then let every toll be hallow'd
That man performs for man,
And have its share of honor
AS part of one great plan.
See, light darts down from heaven,
And enters where it may;
The eyes of all earth's people
Are cheered with one bright day.
And let the minds true sunshine
Be spread DER earth as free,
And fill the souls of men,
As the waters fill the sea.
The man who turns the soil
Need not have an earthly mind;
The digger mid the coal
Need not be in spirit blind:
The mind can shed light
On each worthy labor done,
AS lowliest things are bright
In the radiance of the sun.
What cheers the musing student?
The poet, the divine?
The thought that, for his followers,
A brighter day will shine.
Let every human laborer
Enjoy the vision bright
Let the thought that comes from HEAVIER
Be spread like heavens own light!
Ye men who hold the pen,
Rise like band inspired;
And, poets, let your lyrics
With hope for man be fired;
Till the earth becomes temple,
And every human heart
Shall join in one great service,
Each happy in his part.
