Brother Dement,, of the Enterprise,
shall speak for himself this time, and il
any one can see pith, point, wit, wis
dom, or purpose in his remark, we shall
be glad. Persevering effort, however
futile, is praiseworthy:
When we consider the harsh treatment OF
the press, the utter hopelessness of the wom-
ans movement and the unnecessary extrava-
gance into which Mrs. Duniway plunged when
she copyrighted her alliterative tale, we feel
constrained to commend the spirit of economy
which prompted her to say that we cannot get
Off anything at her expense.

1t needs no fashion; it is Washington;
But if you chisel, let your strokes be rude,
And on his breast engrave INGRATITUDE"
The Theological Works." so-called,
of Thomas Paine were the natural
product of such mind and character as
his, when impregnated and fructified by
contact with the horrible doctrines that
produced the mad and impious excesses
graded as he became toward the close of
his life through abandonment to drink
and other habits of excess and debauch-
cry, regretted the publication of the
Gage of Reason" and wished he were
able to recall it. A book produced by
such a man in that atmosphere of stu
pendous crime which surrounded the
Revolution in France, where the
agency of God as moral governor of the
universe was presumptuously and deris-
lively denied, where religious worship
was suppressed, where impious and the
atric rites were instituted in honor OF
their vitiated and perverted reason, and
where the maxims of this impiety were
delivered to the children and youth in
the schools as the sublimation of wis
dom-such book, so produced, certain
ly has small claims upon the moral
sense of the world, and quite as certain
ly has it failed to establish them. Fol-
it is fact that among the more culti-
waited class even of free-thinkers this
work of Paine's is looked upon as q
product of coarse and ignorant mind.

is, 1 think, entitled to more than
mere passing notice.
The hour designated for the entertain
ment was 8 o'clock, but as two candi-
dates presented themselves for initiation
the same evening, it was found impos-
sible to get through the work before 8:l5
P. NJ, at which time the doors were
opened to the public, when a rush took
place for seats, and in ten minutes after
it was almost impossible to obtain
standing room in the hall.
The performance commenced with
an organ solo by Companion w. H.
Roberts, after which a pleasing decla-
nation was given by Miss Ada Wood
ruff, followed by an excellent guitar
solo by Mr.. John Yantis. The play OF
the "Kritsingles," in four acts, was
next in order, the respective characters
being well personated by Messrs. ].
Yautis, H. Saunders, and w. II. Rob-
erts, and the Misses Nettie Horton,
| Ella Clark, Ada Woodruff, Amelia
| Abbott, Lille Horton and Mrs. Treen.
The gem of the evening was a vocal
duet by Glover, entitled Let US Gather
Bright Flowers" which was admirably
rendered by the Misses Ella and Rosa
Clark, and was received with unbounded
applause; after which the programme
was closed with very pleasing recita-
tiou by Miss n. Horton.
Occasional entertainments like the
foregoing are generally calculated as
beneficial to the Order, and at least
serve to show that Champions are not
so prejudiced against outsiders as to
prevent them from passing pleasant
evening in their Society, and perhaps
| in the end, outsiders may begin to look
on the Order with more favorable con-
sideration than they have heretofore
given it. Z. II. =,

she would see him no more. She did not be-

search for him. She ascertained that he had

seems that under the statutes of Massachu-

them. VI course 1t Is hardly likely that q
man having enjoyed the salutary and proft.

the tender years of his minority would need
q continuance Of 1t through the rest Of his

have the grace to know his need and the

telling what man may do when love catches
him, and the wise legislators took special
pains TO protect . man from himself In

FASHIONED words of the orator of the new
south, as, in stirring phrase he apostro-
phlZed the Union. But, OF the listeners ali,
none wore an air OF such peculiar interest as
did the trio pointed out TO me. One of them
stood against desk and occasionally leaned
over to exchange hurried comment with the
others on the speech. He was man of great
muscular fame, with heavy swart features
half concealed by his thick, black beard. on
his right was seated a little, sniveIed-up old
gentleman, with thin, gray hair, weazened
lace, and q nerveless AIR, who seemed lost as
1t were, in the inner depth of his own clothes.
al MS SIDE was the third-corpulent, sleek,
well-fed, and wearing all over the air of cor
pulent, sleek, well fed millions. His mas
sive head, firmly set on his herculean breadth
or shoulders, was covered with a thick
growth OF long, snow white hair, giving him
somewhat OF a patriarchal aspect. Features
large, coarse, and strong; sharp eyes; an
aquellne nose; heavy under jaws and firmly
set lips; and ruddy complexion that told
OF high living, detracted, however, no little
