Benevolent secret organizations

There may be, and in fact are, bad
churchmen, but religion is not shorn of
it's virtues ON this account. There may
be, and probably are, bad Masons or Odd
Fellows, but the essential virtues of these
organizations are in no wise affected or
impaired by any individual shortcomings.
No institution has yet been found to
make all men good or any one man per-
feet. Even Christianity has failed to
do so, not from any imperfections in it.
self, but by reason of, the very constltu-
ton of the elements it has to deal with.
That an immense amount of charity has
been exerted through the medium of Sc
cret benevolent orders, and thousands of
sick, suffering and destitute people nour-
ished and sustained by their kindly Off
ces is a fact which cannot be gainsaid.
A tree is judged by its fruit. That can
not be radically bad from which so much
sympathetic good flows in never ceas-
ing current. We speak as dispassion-
ate observer, not being identified with
any of these orders. We have repeat
edly heard that any attempt to use Ma
sonry as a business or political influence
is regarded by members of the order as
O6SDlCdDl6S anu UlSCOuuIGudHCcO dCCOIu-
ingly, and in our somewhat varied inter
course with the world, we never knew OF
any instance in which connection with
the order was advertised as a means OF
attracting profit or advancement. 1t is
intimated that some one who had be-
forged to the order proposes to expose its
secrets in this city. The man who vio-
lates the oath he has already taken will
scarcely be a witness whose testimony
will carry weight with outsiders. A
confession of perjury is not a good letter
of introduction. Why shall not these
societies minister to human necessities in
their own way? The field is large enough
for all forms of kindly effort. The il
lustrious names identified with the Or
ders are of themselves a guarantee OF
their character, and we come in daily con
tact with hundreds belonging to them
who are living witnesses to the purity and
benevolence OF their aims. The whole
sale denunciation of such humane insti
tutions seems to us at once unwise anC
unjust.

Extract from Private Letter.
DRESDEN, June 6.--Perhaps told yot
in my last letter something Of the vlsi
of the Gar of Russia to Berlin. Since
that time Berlin has been henored by &
visit from the King and Queen Of Sweden.
/ The King Is tall, rather slender, fine
looking, hair and beard dark, now be
coming little gray his carriage is free
and easy, and his manners polite and
courteous. The Queen of Sweden is, SC
far as can Judge, fine looking, and her
face attractive. l confess, however, not
to be capable of passing judgment on her
personal appearance. l saw her once IN
an open carriage at very short distance,
but the Crown-P rincess of Germany, a
daughter of the Queen of England, sat
by her side, and in looking at the prin-
cess 1 forgot the queen almost. This
was the first time l ever saw the crown
princess. Her picture l had never
thought handsome, but there was kind
ness, Ioveliness in her English features
which always attracted me. On the oc-
casion mentioned above | was surprised to
find her so handsome. As she passed
through the crowd of thousands, and bowed
right and left to her future subjects, who
barred their heads as she passed, she
looked very noble and handsome. | ad
mire the Crown-Princess more than any
of the royal family of Germany, because
she is an English woman, the daughter
of the Queen of Great Britain, believes
in liberal, constitutional monarchy, is a
devoted wife and fond mother. Her
husband, the Crown-P Prince, | admire
next to her, because he is liberal in his
views, inclines toward monarchy like
England, is patron of art and science,
a handsome gentleman and fine soldier,
and loves his English wife devotedly. 1t
is thought by some that his reign will be
the golden age of Germany. 1t is very
evident that his people love him devo-
teddy. "There comes our Crown-Prince,
shout the multitude when he passes, and
every hat is lifted, while the air rings with
hurrahs. | left Berlin without seeing
Bismarck. GAS bad as being in Rome
without seeing the Pope" could not
help it, though tried hard enough to see
him. At this season of the year he is
seldom in Berlin, and one has few oppor-
tunities of seeing him. 1t would do you
good to see the old Emperor. He is in
his seventy-ninth year, but looks so stout
and strong that one imagines he could
bear the cares of State for twenty years
longer, provided, at least, he had Bis
marck always with him. Ten years
more would, however, in all probability
send Bismarck to the grave. He is only
sixty, but is getting old fast.
