A Beautiful Sentiment,

The following exquisite extract by a
distinguished Mason commends itself
to the whole fraternity. We esteem it
SO highly that we would gladly see it
incorporated into our monitorial instruc-
TONS Our bfethern ought to commit
to memory, fof It vibrates through the
soul like the sweetest harmonies of
heavenly music.
The name of '.brotherr" has every

watchword Of affection in the Church

brotherlys welcome. In this one title,
the one most familiar, most loved and
must honored among men, We find one
OF the Mason's ston gholds. With the,
Mason it is never forgotten; in the fam

WOMEN SEARCHED FOR SMUGGLED
GooDs.-1t is fact probably, better
known to customhouse officials than to
outsiders, that at least every tenth
woman who crosses the Detroit river
carries struggled goods. The goods
may be tea; coffee, socks, thread,
ribbons, or something else ofg great value,
but the intent to smuggle is there, and
the success in bringing over small lot
is nearly always an inducement for the
smuggler to try the game on larger
scale. Men may and do smuggle cloth
ing now and then, but it is the female
sex which carries the blifden Of guilt
The custoli-house officials at the ferry
dock in this city are as vigilant as Off
GERS can be, but what chance have they
against monster hoop-skirts and gigan-
tic bustles? They cannot stoop to peep
under shawls, examine pockets, look in
to baby-carts, and hold crowd on the
boat, and so they must continue their
work with the knowledge that goods
are being smuggled d, and that only one
grand and certain haul of their nets can
trap the guilty and frighteh The limo
cent SO that they shall never dare to
pursue the business
The net was drawn yesterday The
officers commenced about 2 O'Clock,
walking fifteen or twenty women up
stairs into the custom-rooms, and hand
ing them over to woman to be search
ed. Every boat-load which landed for
about three hours was treated in the
same faanner-that is, all the female
portion. Some were indignant, and APP
pealed to their husbands, who vainly
appealed to the custom officers. Others
wanted to faint AWAY; but, after looking
at the planks and The dust, concluded
not to. Others wept, laughed, or turn
ed pale, but none of them were permit
ed to escape. During the, afternoon
about one hundred and fifty women

Spotted Tai is now forty-seven years
of age. He is plain in his dress, pos
sesses mild and expressive features, and
black hair descending to his shoulders.
A scar on his nose was caused by a
slash from a sword, received in broil,
in which he cleaved the skull of his an
tagonist with tomahawk. Although
an infidel in belief, he asserts that a
portion of his band, a long time ago
while crossing the Platte, were
saved from drowning by sudden and
miraculous fall of the river.

MARRIED MEN.-There is an expires
sion in the face of good married man
who has good wife, that a bachelor
can not have. 1t is indescrible. He !,
a little nearer the angels than the pref
test young man living. You can s,e
that his broad breast is a pillow f6r
somebody's head, and that little fingers
pull his whiskers. No one ever mis-
takes the good married man. 1t is only
the cratic one who leaves you in doubt.
The good one can protect all the I'M
protected females, and make himself
generally agreeable to the ladies.

a PICTURE.


Through heather. moss, and golden-rod;
We wandered in the summer weather;
And, needing scarce the way we trod,
We're glad, because we were together.
And, when the MONDAY sun Was high,
purple rock gave shelder cool,
Where, hidden from the summer sky,
And fecked with shadows, lay pool.
1t seemed Jewel, bright yet dim,
Wet ferns half stroye to cover 1t;
Enticed by thyme, about the brim
The wild bees murmured over it,
"Aud this the wishine-we'l," she cried,
"where they who drink boon may crave;"
And, kneeling there, the spell she tried;
And though she smiled, her eyes was grave.
Small hands together lightly pressed
From the cool spring she lifted up,
And half in earnest, half in jest.
She offered me the rosy cup.
And In the pool her shadow came,-
Apieture ne'er to be forgot
Sweet eyes and falling hair, in frame
OF fo1-glove and }ogsstzps;not, 70,

WERE FIoATINa DowNTHE RIVER.


We are floating down the river
The noiseless stream of time
Its voyagers of all ages,
They'll nail from every cline;
It has it's light and shadows,
It's fraught with hopes and fears,
Some cross it in moment.
Ia Some only cross in years.
We're floating down the river;
IS. At first it seems so WIDE
That our frail bark can never
Land on the other side;
The trip seems one OF pleasure, a
We've nothing now to fear, ''f'
No tempest can beset us
While skies are fair and clear.
We're floating down the river;
As further on we go
The stream appears more narrow,
The waters faster foT;
We're looking out for dangers
That lie on every side f
our WatcnWOru IL Ii OnWbIu,
As down the stream We glide.
We're floating down the river:
When we're been on it for years;
And cast our glances backward,
It but step appears.
The waters now are deeper,
The bottom lost from view,
Where once the boats were many,
They are scattered now, and few.
We're floating down the river;
Az others have before,
Oft times a boat will leave us
And strike out for the shore.
And then our journey onward,
More lone and sad is found,
One comrade less to cheer U.s..
As we are homeward Bound,
We're floating down the river;
Sometime our turn will come
To lannch out from the other,
Aud set our sails for home,
And when shall come that summons
From shores beyond our view,
o. may our boats be ready
To dash the breakers through!

was not made public, but it is understood that
New Castle will make its share of the appropria-

decided to hold another conference with the New
