IN HASTE.

The St. Louis Republican vouches
for an exciting but somewhat ludicrous
matrimonial venture that recently took
place in Cannelton, Ind. A pretty
Kentucky girl was loved by two broth
ers, but was Unable to decide between
them and left them to settle the matter,
which they proceeded to do as in all
cases in Kentucky duly provided.
While the contest was going forward, u
third young suitor, with no embarras-
sing fraternal relations, brought the
news to the young lady, and persuaded
her to bridge her difficulty by clipping
with him, and TO this she consented.
They crossed over to Cannelton and on
their way engaged a minister to come
over and marry them. Then the license
was procured in double quick time, but
to reach the appointed spot they were
obliged to cross a stream too wide to
jump and too deep to wade, and the
bridge was undergoing repairs. Just
at that moment they espied a boat-load
of men pushing of from the Kentucky
side. They saw they were pursued,
and in a moment ii would have been
Pyramus and Thisbe again, for the
young couple were preparing to die for
each 9th r. But the squire of the vii
iage on the other side of the stream
checked their mad design. Hope bub-
bled afresh. They told him of their
strait and he promised to marry them.
The license was tied to a stone and
dung across and the squire said, 81
pronounce you man and wife. Goand
tell 'em what God hath joined together
let no man burst asunder. Young nal
tie a dollar to another dornick and
heave it over" Then they turned in
proud defiance to their pursuers to find
them the minister with his party en-
gagged to earn this very dollar that the
squire had taken out of his hands.

THE DEFENSE OF MASONRY.

The Craftsman uses the following
language in reference to useless waste
of time and words in defense of Mason
ry: 1--WE cannot help thinking that a
great deal of time is wasted in defend
ing Masonry from the attacks of misin-
formed and prejudiced assailants. As to
those who misrepresent and slander Ma
sonry because they hate it, argument is
wasted upon them. 1t pleases them to
be controverted it is evidence to them
that their shots are taking effect. If
they were let severely alone they would
soon tire of the one-sided contest. and
give it up. But, even if they find cred
ulous persons to listen to them and pay
for their anti Masonic publications, they
can do us no real harm. Masonry does
not depend upon them for either exis-
tonov 1u0ccss. And as W Une uUner
class, they will not ne convinced by
words, but by deeds. If they see that
our accusers, on the one hand, are ma
lignant, envious, uncharitable, untruth-
full and that Masonry is the reverse,
all the clap-trap that the Father of Lies
himself can invent will not set them
against us. The life and conduct of Ma
sons must be the defense of Masonry. II
Masons conform to the spirit of our no.
bic Institution ; if they are charitable,
peaceable-abiding in love, doing good
that will be the notiest and most eff.
fective defense possible against the slan-
derers and evil wishers. But if Masons
forget their Masonic obligations-if they
are no more sober, peaceable, charitable
or upright than other men, mere paper
defenses will do them little good. Ev-
cry known scoundrel who walks ouI
streets wearing Masonic jewel, is an
argument against Masonry infinitely
more damaging than all the phillIppics
the Rev. Blanchard ever wrote. The
Lodge which undertakes to form per.
feet ashlar out of defective material, not
only attempts an impossible task and
wastes its time, but inficts a serious in.
jury upon the craft These are argu.
ments which injure Masonry Its foe;
are they of its own household. The best
defense of Masonry is its ballot box; it
best recommendation is the life of it

A GEORGIA HEROINE.

The following graphic description of
the real jewels of the fair South is given
by paper printed in the State of Geor-
gia:
"Among the many visitors who came
to our city to sell their country produce,
was young lady from an adjoining
county who had chickens, eggs and but
ter for sale. Her beauty was of trans
cendent excellence Bright, flashing,
intellectual eyes, and face round and ro-
sy, while her calico dress was plain and
neatly made. and fitted beautifully. Her
rich black hair flowed in luxuriant rich
ness. Highly educated. she converscd
fiuently, and deported herself with be-
coming modesty. She wore no false bus
tie Or purchased complexion had no
top knot ON her head, or false fxings to
present, but stood in the majestic beau
ty Of a created intelligence that would
not yield to the despotic dictates Of friy-
olous fashion. 1t has been long time
since VIC gazed upon such a sight. The
young men crowded around her wagon
with curiosity in their eyes and admira-
ton in their hearts. The old men wept
for Joy that there was one who had not
bowed to Baal. She sold her country
produce. went home and milked the
COWS. cooked supper for ten farm labor
ers, and went TO church that night with
her sweetheart"

A SERIOUS INDICTMENT AGAINST THE
COMMON SoHooLs.-This is an awful IL
lustration of the want Of thoroughness
in our American education, of the want
of accurate knowledge. We do not wish
to appear to pronounce a TRADE about
this, but we are certainly as nation
open to the charge Of superfciality; and
this is attributed by many foreign writ
ers to our common school system. 1t
is the lament of most young men and
women when they quit school that they
know so little accurately. either in liter
ature or in science. The young man
out Of college in six cases out of ten has
only vague literary knowledge, thin
and inaccurate he does not know how
to do anything; nor how definitely to
set TO work to learn. We see the same
thing in all the trades and the unpro-
fessional employment among the boys
who have had probably a common school
education. Sham work and inaccurate
work are common. We are told that
large proportion Of the locomotive en-
gineers on the railways do not under
stand the mechanism Of their engines,
or how the power of steam is applied,
and cannot repair single break or dis
placement, for want Of this knowledge.
Now the common schools are good deal
responsible for this state Of things, be-
cause they are educating the entire COM
munity specifically and inaccurately.
1t could not have happened. otherwise,
that Of all the men who had to do with
the williamsburg dam not one should
have known how inadequate it vas
