On the Death Of Little Alex.


Little Alex. far away,
In the realms OF boundless day,
Look down on thy babless home,
On the lonely ones that mourn
Often in the Silly night,
From thy starry home so bright,
Look upon the loved that weep
Come and bless them while they sleep.
Tell them In love-lit land,
with white robed angel band,
Little Alex sporting gay
God cares for him day by day
Naught can weary, naught can harm,
Shielded by the savior's arm;
Tell them all Is gladness there,
All Is pure, bright and fair.
Tell them there is naught but love.
10 thy happy home above;
Tell them up teyond the star
Little Alex dwells afar.
with crown upon his brow,
He Is sporting even now.
Little Alex while they sleep,
Come and bless thy loved that weep.

Eulogy.

At a regular Communication OF
Beetown Lodge of A. f. 4 A. NJ, at
their ball in Beetown, Jan. 9th, A.
l.. 1872, the following eulogy and
resolutions were reported by the
committee and approved by the
Lodge:
The sudden news which spread so rapidly
that our Brother, Albert Francis, W as dead,
startled and saddened all and to those who
knew him best the news came with appalling
force. We had so lately met him in this
Lodge and grssped his friendly hand, that il
was difficult to realize that we should hear
his voice no more this side of the grave
Ours is no common sorrow, for never was
man more beloved by all who knew him, an
affection which he returned with all the
warmth of his kindly heart. Awed and hush
ed as we are by this great calamity, we can
recall many kindly word and friendly deed.
he was ardently attached TO Free Masonry,
feeling the weight Of its dut les, and earnestly
lmpressng upon others a faithful adherence
TO ITS unchanging laws. The weight of our
sorrow, though UNNECESSARILY less than that
bearing uron his bereaved family, enables us
to recognize their need of sympathy in this
the hour of their deep atlliction, and that
sympathy to its fullest extent we do hereby
tender them most heartily and sine erely.

DON'T DEPEND on FATHER.-Stand
up here, young man, and let us talk TO
you. You have trusted alone to the
contents of your fathers purse or his
fair fame for your influence or success
in business. Think you that 'father'
has attained eminence in his profession
but by unwearied industry? or that he
has amassed n fortune honestly without
energy and activity? You should know
that the faculty requisite for the acquir-
ing of fame or fortune is essential TO,
nay, inseparable from the attaining Of
either of these. Suppose 'father' has
the "rocks'' in abundance if you never
earned anything for him, you have no
more business with these ''rocks" than
the gosling has with n tortoise And II
he allows you to meddle with them un-
til you have gained by your industry,
he perpetrates untold mischief. And II
the old gentleman is lavish of his cash
toward you, while he is allowing you to
while away your time, you had better
leave him, yes, run away, sooner than
| be an imbecile, or something worse,
through so corrupt an influence! Sooner
or later you must learn to rely on your
own resources, or you will not be any
/ body.-Erch0Hgc

An old farmer was out one fine day
looking ut his broad acres, with an axe
on his shoulder and a small dog at bis
heels. They espied a woodchuck. The
dog gave chase and drove him into
stone wall, where action Immediately
commenced. The dog would draw the
woOdchuck partly out of the wall, and
the woodchuck would take the dog
back. The old farmers sympathy get
ting high on the part of the dog, he
thought he would help him. So, put
ting himself in position, with the axe
above the dog, he waited for the eXtrac-
tion of the wOOdchuck, when ne would
cut him down. An opportunity offered,
and the old man struck, but the wood
chuck gathered up at the same time and
took the dog in far enough to receive
the blow, and the dog was killed on the
spot. Forty years after, the old man in
relating the story would always add:
"Aud that dog don't know to this day
but what the woodchuck killed him."
