PeriiOus and Daring Feat.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution de-
tails the following perilous feat On
the 18th ult. two fox dogs, belonging to
a Mr.. Knit, of Gwinnett county, ran a
fox to Stone Mountain. While near
the site of the old tower, they disap-
peared from sight. Later in the day
parties living near what is termed the
q steep side" were startled at heariDg g
dogs barking and howl1ng, and after
looking closely could see them, about
two-thirds of the way up, apparently
or a crag iuttiDg out from the perpen-
dicular wall One of them, which
was considerably below the other, was
seen to fall and roll over, but succeed
ed in regaining foot-hold. The dogs
staid there until Wednesday noon.
Several gentlemen went to the top OF
the mountain to see if means could be
provided to rescue the d. gs. By
means of {, rope tied to strong cedar,
the party reached a point nearly 500
feet from the site of the old tower a
point never reached before, we believe.
Here the rope was fastened to another
cedar, and Fernando p. Julian Jr., de-
clared his willingness to make the per
ilous descent. He pulled off his boots
and walked down, holding on to the
rope, several hundred feet.
At the distance Of about six hundred
feet he found the first dog, and soon
had him safely landed. At point
100 feet from the tree, on q bench in
the rock wall, several feet in length and
one or two in width, he fonnd the other
dog. This one resisted at first, but
when he reached place where he
could walk, he went cautiously and
steadily until he got to the top. AS
soon as Mr.. Julian go mp. the dogs
fawned on him, and jumped in his lap,
and exhibited their gratitude III an un-
mistakable manner. The wind was
blowing very strong at the time. Mr..
Julian acted with perfect GOODNESS.
His socks were cut by friction against
the rocks, and he stopped and pulled
them off. The dogs had worn Oft the
claws from thei1 hind feet. 1t IS sup
posed that they reached the spot from
which they we're rescued by gong
through a crevice in the rock.

The Use nf StOrms

The widest storms Of winter do great
good by thoroughly removing any nox-
ious gases that may lurk about our great
cities, and carrying them out to the
deep, there to suffer a sea change,
and replacing them with purer air, Air
and oceans are two great physical puri-
fiers Of the world. So, while we fasten
our garments more tightly around us,
and hurry along in the pelting shower
flung at us by a boisterous wind, let us
think of the health-giving oxygen that
comes on the tempest; and while en-
joying the shelter of our roof, think of
the good work going on above us IN
the sky, alike whether we wake or
sleep. We love to think of the mighty
operation of the hand of God going on
ceaselessly for the good Of man and
the mass of living things on earth,
when we are passive and powerless :;
and this wind movement is one OF
these. Dublin University Magazine

4 MASONIC JOKE.
HOW the Brethren OF the Mystic Ord ey.
Were sold.

how the Brethren OF the Mystic orde,
Were sold.
The New York Mail is responsible
for the following: Ever since the davf
of Morgan every good and loyal Mason
has felt it even more than ever incum
bent on him to guard the secrets of the
order, and to help bring up with a
"roEnd turn anyone found recreant
enough to betray them. Nearly year
ago d good natured genius in the
journalistic world of New York, who re
Jolces IN the sObriQahet of "Bricktop y
and the editorship of Wild Oats, teal
IL into his head to write q burlesoue
erpose of Free Masonry. The pam
phlet was fttingly Illustrated by rhom-
as Worth, and has enjoyed a most un-
precedented sale. To make the Joke
even greater the publishers aver
pose, and for time it ere
ated considerable comment in this city.
which soon gave way to series of
broad grins, however, when the book
came to be read. But it appears that
many Of the country lodges took the
expose greatly toheart, and, after child
ing the indifference of New York lodg-
es, they at last resolved to take action
themselves, and work for the suppress
| sion Of the book, and to stop any fur
ther edition of it. Especially was there
hot Indignation manifested among Ma.
sons at Troy and Cohoes, and one night
last week King Solomon lodge, of Troy
and the Cohoes lodge Of Cohoes, held
special meetings to take action regard
ing it. Each lodge voted $500 toward tht
cost of buying up the expose, and in
vested Worshipfui Master j. G. Fitz-
patrick, of Cohoes lodge, with full
powers, and started him for this CITY.
Burning with Indignation, he sought
the publication office whence these
startling advertisements were issued,
regarding book which he naturally
abhorred, but which he had as vet
never seen, and demanded to see the
author and the publishers In a few
words made his business known. A
copy of the terrible expose was placed
III his hands, and he was left
alone for a few minutes that he
might peruse it. He studied it.,
and broad grin gradually took the
place of the expression of indignation
which the good-natured master had
worn before. He inquired If that was
really the -talked-of erDose, and
learning that it was, be honestly joined
In the laugh, and took both author and
publisher over to the Astor for refresh
ments. He says he is the worst-sold
Mason in the country, and on return
ing, his greatest anxiety appeared to be
as to how he should frame his report to
the lodge without again making himself
liable for even a more expensive
treat with the members.

Firemen of Old.
The Newbrlryport Herald saws:

The Newburyport Herald says:
"Mr Anthony Davenport has IN his
possession a printed copy of the ar
ticles of the first fire society in New
buryport, which appears to have been
form ed i'll 1746, as that date was to be
inscribed on the buckets of the COM
pany. Mr.. Davenport will present the
copy to the public library. The COM
pany is limited to twenty-five members,
and the offices did not seem to be much
sought for, as there were fines imposed
on those who were chosen, and did not
accept. Each member was to have two
strong leather buckets, and a strong
ee-bushel leather bag. This was a
secret society, and had q watchword,
which each member must be able to
whisper to the moderator of the quar-
terly meeting under penalty OF eight
pence.
The seventh article reads: Upon
notice of fire (Which may God IN his
mercy prevent every member shall
Immediately repair, with his buckets
and bags, to the dwelling-house, ware
house or shop Of any member OF this
society most in danger, and use then
utmost endeayors to extinguish the fire
there, or by the owners directions II
present, to remove and secure all his
goods and movabIes, under the penalty
of thirteen shillings and fourpelce.
These articles are signed by twenty
seven persons, most of whom were
grandfathers or great grandfathers OF
persons now living in the city.

il Soap Mime.
From the Pueblo On. NJ Chieftain.


The other day one OF our prominent
citizens rode out up the mountain three
or four miles on prospecting tour, and
at certain point near the banks of the
stream noticed some rocks of peculiar
formation. Instigated by that curiosi-
tY SO fatal on a certain mOmentous oc
casion to old mother Eve, he broke off
a piece, and taking it to the creek,
plunged it into the water for the pur-
pose of ascertaining it's consistency and
gram Upon taking it out of his hands,
what was his surprise to see lather
formed, and with vigorous rubbing
the stone proved to have a saDonaceous
qualty-ln fact, possessing ali the
cleansing virtues of the most excellent
soap. Being greatly surprised, not
little mystltied with the p1o-
found conviction withal, that
he had found big thing, our discover
er hastil y gathered up few specimens
and brought the same to the drug store
of Dr.. ? r. Thumbs. where it is now
on exhibition and can be inspected and
tested by the curious. The stone is of
a dun color, about the hardness of
chalk, and forms a perfect iather, while
it effectually removes all stains and
grease spots from clothing. We have
tried the soap personally, and must
pronounce 1t success. After bathing,
it leaves the skin as soft and pure as
that of a newborn babe, while the odor
is quite pleasant. It is certainly a re-
markable discovery, and the only query
now is, "What next?" A country that
can produce mountains of gold and
silver, narrowgauge mules, tarantulas,
flea bitten dogs, and mines of soap to
wash the whole with, must be capable
OF producing almost any wonder.

Goodnight.


Goodnight, dear friendI I say goodnight to thee
Across the moon-beams, tremuous and white,
Bridging all space between us 1t may be
Lean low, sweet friend lit is the last goodnight
For, lying mute upon my couch and still,
The fever-fush evanshed from my face
heard them whisper softly, ''Tis His viii
Angels viii give her happier resting place!"
And so, from sight of tears that fell like rain.
And sound OF sobbing snothered close and low
turned my white face to the window-pane,
TO say goodnight to thee before L go.
Good night, goodnight do not fear the end.
The conflict with the billows dark and high;
And yet, if could touch thy hand, my friend
think it would be easier to die.
If I could feel through all the quiet waves
Of my deep hair thy tender breath athriH,
could go downward to the place of graves
With eyes ashine, and pale lips smiling still.
Or it may be that if, through all the strife
And pain of parting, should hear thy call,
should come singing back to sweet, sweet life,
And know no mystery of death at all.
1t may not be. Goodnight, dear friend, goodnight
And when you see the violets again,
And hear, through boughs with swollen buds awhile
The gentle falling of the April rain,
Remember her whose young life held thy name
With all things holy, in its outward flight,
And turn sometimes from haunts of Love and Fame
To hear again her low goodnight, goodnight!
