Free Masonry.
BIZ CON G. QuENCE.

It Is an undeniable fact that there
are more people in the world who
would like peep into Free Mason
ry, without joining, than a good
sized school boy could shake a lin
Der stick at in month. There ap-
pears TO be a universal desire to
see and learn something of the Or
der; still such people are seldom,
If ever, among the many who make
proper application for admission.
l was once on very intimate
terms with young man, whom
will call Billy, who was acting at
one time as janitor of a Masonic
Lodge, and at many times I en-
deavored to learn something from
him in regard to the order, but
without success. One day, howev-
er, after many entreaties, he prom
ised to let me see the goat, provid-
ing would keep the matter pro-
found secret. I gave him my word
that it should never be known to
any one but ourselves that 1 knew
aught of the institution.
So it happened that on a certain
occasion we proceeded to the room
where l was to see that mysterious
animal so much talked Of in the
social world,-the Masonic goat.
OF course, I congratulated myself
that was favored one, or this
great secrecy would not be entrust-
ed to my keeping.
The Lodge room was situated in
third story of handsome brick
block in the village of Krabville,
and was one of the most costly
furnished rooms / ever beheld.
Noislessly we entered, and again
promised secrecy, before Billy
would allow me to set my eager
eyes on that penned up goat. AT
last he marched me in front Of a
curtain, which was hung up for a
door to one of the closets. I fairly
trembled, I knew not why, as he
proceeded to draw the curtain
aside. But my restless nerves were
soon quieted, as ! beheld my own
"phiz" in mirror there hung upon
the door just back of that blasted
curtain, which had, no doubt, been
arranged for my special benefit.
Inever after that occasion asked
any questions in regard to Mason
ry, and l don't think ever shall.

Bad men or devils would not have
written the Bible, for it condemns
them and their works; good men
and angels could not have written 1t.
for in saying IL was from God when
it was but their own inventions,
they would have been guilty Of
falsehood, and thus could not have
been good. The only remaining
being who could have written 1t u
God, its real author.

Unending.
There is an end TO kisses and 10 sighs,
There Is an end TO laughter and tears;
An end to fair things that delight our eyes;
An end to pleasant sounds that charm our ears
An end to enmity's foul libeling,
And to the gracious praise Of tender friends;
There Is an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there Is no end.
That warrior carved an empire with his sword
The empire now is but like him-a name;
That statesman spoke. and by burning word
Kindled nations heart into fame;
Now naught is left but ashss, and we bring
Our homage to new men, { them We bend;
There Ia an end to oil but one sweet thing
To love there Il no emo.
All beauty fades away, or else alasi
Mems eyes grow dim and they no beauty see
The glorious shows Of Nature pass and pass,
Quickly they come, as quickly they Zee;
And he who hears the voice Of welcome
Hears the next slow, sad farewell Of his friends
There u an end to all but one sweet thing
To love there is no end.
And for oursslves-our father. where Il hsi
Gone, and memory alone rsmainst
There is no refuge on mothers knee
For US, brown, old, and sad with cares and pains
Brotherless, sistsrless, our way We wsnd
To deaths dark house, from which We ahall moi
rove;
And 90 we cease. yet one thing has no end
To love there is no end.

The Wagers.


Some years ago took my seat in
the diligence from Marseilles to
F.. The railway that now con-
meets those cities was not yet con.
templated.
There were Eve passengers in all.
or these one was q short, fat man,
with smooth cheeks and red face.
Though plainly dressed, his clothes
were very good; he had q great
many rings on his fingers, and
across his waistcoat he wore q
thick gold chain, which he was
careful 20 let me see was attached
to a handsome watch, on the back
of which was q crest in jewels.
There was no doubt but he was
a rich man, and that !, at all events
might have no doubt of 1t, he in
formed me that his income exceed
ed fifty thousand francs . year,
and that he bid fair to double it
before Ave years were gone, 90
prosperous was his business.
was partly amused and partly
disgusted by his loquacity. Why
he should have made q confident of
me in peticular I don't know, I'M
less it was that ! sat next to him.
Among other bits of information
he gave mo to know that this was
the first holiday he had INDUCED
bimsvf With for three years.

gar, turning to me, 81 believe
Master Jacques to be an honest
man, but though I can vouch fer
his wine, can't vouch for his
pistols. Before that gentleman
and make target Of one another,
be so good as to throw that five franc
piece in the air to see how my
pistol carries"
I did as he desired, and tossed
the money about seven yards high.
I heard the report of q pistol
and the peice Of money fell indent-
ed.
"Bet," said the man with the
moustache, "that I pierce that leaf
vibrating at the extremity Of yon-
der bough."
And before the other could ans.
wer, the trigger was pulled, and
that leaf was peirced.
"Bet," continued the man, with
the most ridiculous coolness, "that
I shoot you clean through the
pupil Of the left eye, and lay you
dead, and that you miss me-"
The other as white as ghost.
81 believe you," said he, trem-
bling from head to foot and throw
ing down his pistol. 81 guess
your motives, and admire your
stratagem, and. shall take my road
back to Marseill,s."
In fact we saw him deposite him
self in the inaperiale Of the dill
gence.
l turned to the moustached gen.
tleman for an explanation. he
invited me to take glass Of wine
with him in the travellers room,
and with great good-humour pro-
ceeded to solve the enigma.
He was friend of the young
lieutenant, and famous as the most
deadly shot in France. He had
received a letter only the day
before from his friend begging him
to come to p and help him to
carry out ruse, which he trusted
would enable him to marry the
girl he was passionately in lovo
with.
The moustached gentleman COM
piled, left Paris, and reached F.
in time to receive from his friends
lips particulars Of the stratagem be
and the yorng girl had concocted
between them.
That stratagem was perfectly
successful. The little red-faced
man, as I afterwards heard, on his
reaching Marseilles, wrote to the
father Of his intended bride, apollo.
gizing for not having been able to
keep his promise to go down 10
them. You may believe he took
good care not to inform the father
of the real reason that had pre-
vented him from paying his duties
to his ebtrothed.
The red-faced man, however, had
no intention Of breaking of the
marriage until accosted one MORN
ing in the streets Of Marseilles by
the moustached gen; Q asn, wko
asked him IL he still persisted in
his intentions to marry the young
lady.
Certainly" was his reply.
"Then," said the other, "if you
want to reach her hand, you will
have to mount, first, on my dead
body, and secondly on the dead
body Of the lieutenant. Are you
prepared to scale those fortresses !"
"Certainly not"
"Then go home; write to the la
dy's father that circumstances COM
pei you to abandon your promise to
wed her. / shall know by the day
after tomorrow IL that letter has
been written. II yes, I will be
your friend, and help you as ! have
helped the lieutenant, In any hon.
orable love scheme you may choose
to enter upon; If no, be prepared
to meet me in the evening"
The letter was written, and six
months after the young lady was
married to the lieutenant
