Secret Societies In Furone.

The secret societies Of Europe have
assumed new importance within the
last five years. The Masonsof France
number 50G,00G, and are acknowledged
to he a great agitating force. No Ro-
man catholic can be q member of that
order in England or any continental
country, and in even the United States
the most solemn Of all the sacraments,
that of extreme JUNCTION, will not be
administered until the diving man re-
nouncc his connection with Freema-
sonry. The result is that that popular
organization has become, certainly in
France, a vigilant enemy Of the church
Of Rome. 1t must be confessed, how
ever, at least in Latin countries. that
the MaSons, in what they call ii II
war upon the Jesuits, do not console
themselves with any other special form
Of religion, and 50 the charge Is freely
made that when they attack the Roman
catholics they find in those countries a
refuge in what Is known as infdeiitv.
The Odd Fellows Of England, accord
ing to Mr.. William f. Foster, NJ. p,
in his last speech at Bradford, numbers
close upon half million members
10000 in England, and the rest in
colonies, Scotland and Ireland. with a
money capital of eAO0O,O0O. The
cooperative element among the Odd
Fellows of Great Britain Is its strong
point, and might beproftably initiated
among the working classes Of the
United States.

BY JAMES G. CLARK.

competent literary critics have pronouncedr tn,
following poem unsurpassed by other production
of its class III our language 1t is perfect III rhyme
beautiful in figure and expressiof:l
Leona, the hotir dave tiisb.
The hour we've waited so long,
For the angel to open a door throu.h the skv
That my spirit may break from its prison and try
Its voice III an infinite song,
Just now, as the siumberS OF night
Came DER me with peace-gving breath,
The curtain, half-lifted, revealed to NV sight
Those windows which look on the kingdom of light
That borders the river of death.
And vision fell solemn and sweet,
Bringing gleanis of a IhoTning-it land
saw the white shore which the pale waters beat,
And heard the low lull rs they broke at heir feet
Who walked on the beautiful strand.
And wondered why spirits could cling
To their clay with a struggle and sigh,
When life's purple autumn is better than spring,
And the soul flies away, like a sparrow, to sing
III climate where leaves never die.
Leoria COME close to my bed,
And lay your dear hand on MY brow;
The same touch that thrilled me in days that are
And raised the lost roses of youth from the dead
Can brighten the brief moments now.
We have lived fr,m the cold world apart,
And your trust was too generous and true
For their hate to Oerthrow; when the slanderers
Was ranking deep in My desoiate Heart,
was deater than ever to you.
1 thank the Great Father for this,
That our love is not lavished in vain;
Each germ i'll the future will blossom to bliss,
And the FORMS that we love- and The lips that we
kiss
3ever shrink at the shadow Of pain
BY the light of this faith am I taught
That my labor is only begun
In the strength Fl this hope have l struggled and
fought
With the legions of wrong, my armor has caught
The geam of Etefnity's sun
Leond, look forth and behold
From leadland. from hillside and deep,
The day-king suTrendeTs his banners of gold,
The twilight advances through woodland and void,
And the deVs are beginning TO weep.
The moons silver hair lies uncrirIed
Down the broad-breasted mountains away;
The sunsets red glory again shall be furled
On the walls OF the West DER the plains OF the
And shall rise in a lmitIess way.
Oh! come not in tears to my tolnt,
Nor plant with frail flowers the sod;
There Is rest among roses too sweet for its gloom,
And life where the lilies eternally bloom,
In the Misunderstanding gardens OF God
Yet deeply those memories burn
Which bind me to you and to earth,
And sometimes have thought that my being
would yeaTn
In the bowers of the beautiful home, to return
And visit the home OF its birth.
'Twould even be pleasant to stay
And walk Ey your side to the last;
But the land breeze OF heaven is begnrng 10 play
Lifc-shadOws are meeting Eternitys day,
And its tufhult is flushed in the past.

That is gathering now, ever be
Too dark for your faith, you will long for relief,

The Earth's Danger.

I'm the preface to his recent excellent
book, The Abode Of Snow Mr.. An
drew Wilson, well known as the author
of one of the most interesting works on
the Chinese empire, rcvivcs the old
theory of Adhcmar that the earth will
topplc over one of these DAYS, and
send the oceans sweeping over the CON
tinents. The theory is that owing to
the greater preponderance Of water in
the southern hemisphere, the greatest
accumulation Of water is round the
south pole when the accumulation
has reached q certain point the balance
Of the earth must be suddenly dc,
stroycd-thc center Of -phcricity alb
ruptlv change far from the center of
gravity, and the whole earth almost
instantaneously must turn transvcrscly
on it. axis, move the great oceans, and
so produce one Of those grand cata-
clvsms which have before now altered
the whole face Of the globe. Some very
good physicians and mathcmaticians
have believed in this theory, which is
not easily controvcrted, even if it be
false one.

PARAGRAPHS OF THE PERIOD.

IN olden times it was the fashion for
a suitor to 90 down on his knees 20
lady when he asked her 10 become his
wife, which, with very stout gentlemen
was an uncomfortable proceeding.
The way in which Daniel Webster
proposed to Miss Fletcher was more
modern. being at the same time neat
polite. Like many other lovers, he
was caught holding a skein of thread
or wool which the lady had been un-
ravelling. Grace said he, eve have

In the matter of perseverance the
world must learn the lesson from boys.
A boy does not sink into despair if the
first burr he throws at another boy
fails to stick; he keeps on with steady
aim and a stoical indifference to i'll
fortune, and though he may have
missed his mark a dozen times, he fl
nalIy succeeds in decorating a pair of
trowsers in the most satisfactory man
ner.

Ir would be a little funny to see
the Russians fooled about Alaska. For
some time after the purchase Of that
territory by the United States govern
ment, they used slyly to nudge each
other and hint that they had got much
the better of that bargain; but now,
the finding of extensive silver mines is
reported there, and if Alaska should

the fun would not be quite all on the
Russian side.-S. L0,i5 Giobc-DcWo-

Not q Pioneer.

will tell you what happened to one
of the pioneers of Wisconsin. When
the state was first settled, eats were
scarce and mice plenty, and people
would take a great deal Of trouble to
obtain a cat. One family which was
moving into the state, while on the
way, procured an old cat and two Kit
tens. The family Travelled twenty
miles from the place where they got
the cat and kittens, and camped for the
night, for there were no railroads or
hotels; when they arose in the morn
ing they found pussy had deserted with
her two babies Great was the sur
prise of her former owner to find that
on the second day after their departure
ptlss and her babies were safe in their
old quarters. As puss could carry but
one kitten at a time, she must have
Travelled the entire twenty miles three
times over, besides hunting her food;
she doubtless carried one for some dis
tance, and leaving it in a safe place,
returned and brought up the other
one, and by thus going back and fourth,
they at last reached their old home.
That cat had noidea of beingapioneer.
A TEXAS Judge is credited with the
following neat decision: ''Ihe fact Is,

THROUGH his impotence and cnthu-
siasm, Michael Angelo ruined block
after block Of marble by working with
too great vehemcncc near the surface.
He had a wonderful faculty rs a mere
workman in marble, but his genius and
impetuosity OF temperament would not
brook the opposition Of so stubborn a
material. and untitled him for those
first processes of roughing out into
shape the block, which requires patience
and precision. Too eager to arrive at
a point where his true genius would
find play, he assailed the marble with
such violence that he often struck of
piece. which often trcnched into the
lust limits of the surface; and n they
could not be replaced, he was forced to
finish as he could--not as he would.
Had he confined himself more TO clab-
Grating his work in clay, and then IN
trusting the blocking ont in marble TO
a mechanical workman, We should have
had not only a much larger number Of
grand works by him, but they would
have been freer Of great defects. For
instance, the back Of the head of Moses
has been chiseled away until it Is an
impossible head. Again, the David Is
sacrificed to the exigencies Of the mar
bic. And the head of his famous Day
was probably left unfinished because he
perceived it was turned beyond the
limit permitted to nature without break
ing the neck.-Biock7coods Haga-uic.

The water Is so low in some Of the

but short time after the passage Of
the secession ordinance of. Louisiana,
and these conversations were had, if
my memory serves me Alright, at least
q month or siixzwceks before the COM
mencemcnt Of actual hostilities.
What causes may have operated to
change his views, us understood by
me, have no means Of know ing.
Since the surrender l have seen Gen.
Sherman but once, and then our inter.
view was casual aud our conversation
cursory. My antibellum relations
with him have not been renewed.
His military course aud political
views are before the people of the
country for. their judgment, and how
ever may differ with hira politically,
aud condemn his conduct of'the war
in the high position which he occu.
pied, in justice TO history, to myself,
and to him, / do not hesitate to cor.
rect statement which, am sure, has
arisen from misconception and mis-.
apprehension Of my meaning.
Very truly yours,
