A short ScYHl,oll.

Here is bit of philosophy worth read
iag. 1t is an exposure of a very common
delusion. 1t is a good rendering of an
old idea:
1.-TWO things ought to be strongly im-
pressed upon young people of our coun-
try. The Insecurity of riches, even when
acuuired ,andtheir unsatisfying character.
There is.no fallacy so universally cherish
ed as the notion that wealth is surely a
means of happiness. The care of large
property is one of the most burdensome
of earth trusts. The only mate rial good
that comes from any estate is to be made
out of a moderate income far more easily
than large one, and with fewer atten-
dant disadvantages Few thoughtful
men would undergo the entire steward
ship of large estate on a positive bar
gain that they should receive no more for
taking care of it than ordinarily falls into
the lap of the owner. The scramble after
wealth is due to wrong estimate of good

that he was possessed of a dear and good

plan for reclaiming her husband, and one
day while he was sober she warned him
that lfe eteed ia great danger OF lncuiiDg,

that soonor or later, a dire affiiction

AS tne train was passing under a road

three striped kangaroos, and several other
ANIMALS were crushed and instantly kill

was valuable collection, flew away, as
also did several of the smaller birds.
Inc train was promptly stopped, and it
was ascertained that four of THE. circus
drivers had sustained severe injuries. Mr..
G.=N- Robinson, the treasurerof the COM

asleep in the ticket wagon, which was

Brothers, come and let us ponder
What we Masons vowed to do,
When, prepared, at yonder altar,
We assumed the solemn VOW;
Foot and knee, breast and cheek
Let them now our duties speak

When we hear a brothers cry,
Hungry; thirsty, barefoot, naked,
With Gods mercy, let us fly;
This of all our thoughts the chief,
How we best may bring rehef:
Knee to knee. IN earnest praying,
None but God to hear or heed,
All our woes and sins confessing,
Let us for each other plead;
Let the spirit of our call
Be to pray for brothers all.
Breast to breast in sacred casket,
At life's centre let us seal ar-
Every truth to us entrusting,
Nor one holy thing reveal
What a Mason vowed to shield
Let him die but never yield
Hand to back, a brothers falling
See, his burdens are too great
Stretch the generous hand and hold him
Up before it is too late \;
Each right hand is n Mason's prop,
Made to hold another up .-a5-.
Cheek to cheek in timely warning,
When the tempter strives TO win,
Urge a brothers bounden duty,
Warn him of approaching sim
Warn him of the deadly snare,
Win him with a brothers care.

What we Masons vowed to do,
When prepared at yonder altar;
We assumed the solemn VOW;
Foot and knee, breast, hand and cheek,
Let them oft their duties speak.

Why Douglass Opposes Greeley.

In leading article i'm this weeks Ner
National Era Frederick Douglass speaks
of his personal regard for Horace Greeley.
and then proceeds to explain why he can
not aid and encourage him i'll his eager
pursuit of the Presidency. He says:
ale has united his fortune with a party
based upon personal grievances, and not
upon broad grounds of national good.
Personal disappointments, personal envy.
personal rcseIrtments. personal ambitions
have united in personal opposition to
Grant and in personal favor OF Horace
Greeley. Now we are utterly opposed
10 this sort of personal politics. A man
who abaudons party because his party
has not the same sense of hIs personal
merits that he has himself, and who joins
another, hoping for better luck with the
new than with the old. may be courage
