sen. A lady correspondent Of the
Savannah (Ga.) Nc'rS, writing from
San Augustine, Florida, has been ram
bling into history, and gives the fol-
lowing account of a tragic event which
happened there many years ago, IN the
early settlement Of that place, the
oldest town in the United States:
Since the settlement of st. Augustine
this spot has been the scene OF II tragic
event. In 1867, Father Corpa, inlu-
cnced by desire to rescue the souls
Of the forest sons from the lurid flames
which linger around the delinqucnts
in purgatory, rebuhed them for their
poIvganic and warlike customs. His
pearls were east before swine. The
uutamcd red men had no prescribed
rules of conduct from the Great Spirit
They could not adopt the regimen, and
the propagator must be silenced. \
council was held, the sanhedrIm of thel
savage, and yell Of triumph which
entered the portals of prayer, rang
out upon the stiffness of midnight.
The clIct went forth irrevocabIe as the
laws Of the MedcS and PerSians. Fa-
their Corpa must die Who should
strike the fatal blow? Whose I'M
tinrhing arm can rid us of this our
peace destroyer? The athletic of his
tribe replied at is ~ StealthiIv

A certain lawyer, who, whjlom,
dWelt iii one OF our New England

shortcomings during a revival came
under conviction. His appeals was
responded to by one Of the saints, an

who has appropriated worldly goods
to himself mlaWtuIly and dishonest-
~, that he shall make restitution
four fold; but we do beSeoch thee to

as it would be impossible for him to
do this, and let him off for the best
he can do without Dcggarlng himself

Clothed in sorrows dark array;
DAYS of absence, am weary,
When my love is far away;
Hour, of bliss, We quickly vanish,
When will aught like thee return;
When shall signing truly vanish,
When this bosom cease to mourn.
Not till that loved vow can greet me,
Which 80 Oft has cherrcd my ear,
Not till those sweet eyes can meet me,

The people Of Holland have Just
been celebrating the three hundredth
anniversary Of their Independence.
They date il from the second of April,
l5712, when the NethcrIand "begSars
Of the sea, captured the town of Brill
from the Spanish invaders The ex-
plot was the beginning Of that har-
rowing struggle between the brave
NetheranderS and their doteSted enc
mics, OF, which, SAYS Motley, the his
torian, no living mnn was to see the
end. but which finally resulted in the
establishment of the Dutch Republic
and the supremacy throughout 1t of
the Protestant religion. The record
of those times forms one of the most
thrilling chapters in history, and to
Mr.. Motley is due the credit and honor
of presenting it in all its details. The
lIollanders have fully appreciated
his lubors, and during this anniversary
he was made Il Doctor Of Laws by the
| University Of Loydcu and was honor |
ed with special attentions by the King
and the people. The occasion was
celebrated with professions, reviews
and general festivities.

Masonry and the Church.

At a Masonic celebration in Nor
folk, Va, u few evenings since one of
the members in responding to the
toast of Masonry and Church, said:
The secrets of FreemaSonry are not
antagonistic to the interests of the
Church. They are only the signs and
symbols, conveying that unwrlttcn
language which gives a Mason access
to every nation, home and Il sympa-
timing heart in every cline, and Il
medium of communication with a
brother Mason in every tribe and
tongue of the babbling millions OF
earth, for everywhere Mason may
be found. These are indispensable
and imperishable. In this is found
the superiority Of speculative over
operative Masonry. The works Of the
former may all perish, but still the
attentive ear receives the sound from
the instructive tongues, and the myS-
terles Of Freemasonry are safely
lodged in the depository of faithful
breasts.
Masonry, then, is an important
auxiliary force standing tirlnl y 1t the
Ihermopvlm of the moral world to
hold >utans legions in check until
Christianity shall have accomplished
its heaven designed work. Ihenwh
all is completed, Masonry will willing
ly brings its granueSt and brightest
trophies and lay tAun at the feet Of
her radiant form

Concerning Kisses.

g The kiss" says an ancient woman
Halter. is the Aurora of love, but the
sunset of charity"
After the first kiss there follows a
second, then a third, and so upwards
on the many rugged ladder of love to
the uttimathule One kiss is very little
and vet very much. 1t is the wordless
interpreter of two hearts, which by this
one breath tell each other more than
bv mvriads of words. The kiss is the
high priest who initiates the hearts into
the Elusiniaon mysteries OF love.
The ancients counted three kinds OF
kisses
Bacia, that between friends and re-
latives.
Osculo, the kiss of veneratlon.
SuaUiu0, the kiss proper that be
tween lovers. The monks of the mid
die ages-great theorists-divided the
kiss into fifteen distinct and separate
orders
l. The decorous or modest kiss.
>. The diplomatic, or kiss of policy
3. The spying kiss, to ascertain If a
woman had drunk wine.
4. The slave kiss.
5. The kiss infamous Church
penance.
6. The slipper kiss practiced towards
tyrants.
7. The judicial kiss.
s. The feudal kiss.
9. The religious kiss kissing the
CROSSE
10. The academical kiss Ton joining
a solemn brotherhood)
IL. The hand kiss.
u. The Judas kiss.
13. The medical kiss-for the pur-
pose of healing some sickness.
II. The kiss of etiquette.
10. The kiss of loye-the only real
kiss. But this was also to be various
" considered, viz given by ardent
enthusiasm, as by lovers by matri-
monial affection: or, lastly between Two
men-an awful kiss, tasting like sand
wiches without butter or meat.
