formed by four heads of animals,

He is a most disagreeable, un-
welcomed person. His works are
the works of the devil, and will
often keep whole community in
turmoil. He can sever the ties
that bind one to another in friend
ship or love; can ruin ones charac-
ter and forever expunge his happi-
ness on earth can cause neighbors
to rise up against neighbor, friend
against friend, lover against lover,
parent against child and child
against parent. He is a tattler Of
the most degrading nature, an un-
avoidable parsonage, an evil-doer,
and a most lamentable cuss TO a
community, Like death, he picks
a shining mark, and often leaves a
black line Of disgrace. With his
argus eye he sees every one, but all
oftentimes through his own glasses
His hearing is remarkably accurate
and his eyesight never deceiyes
him. He has proof to corroborate
his assertions, and witnesses, il
they were present, to substantiate
his slanderous and nefarious re-
marks about your friend, your lover
or even Yourself. Your interest is
his interest; and by some myste.
rious and prophetic way he can in
terpret the slanderous remarks and
advise you the better course to pur.
sue. He is a very important friend
friend in need, you will remark
yet he is your worst enemy-much
worse than he who meets you face
to face on the battlefield, or on the
field of honor-more than this, he
is worse than the midnight assas
sin. Know thou thy friend.

The cure for Gossip.
Pictorial worla.l


What is the cure for gossip? Sim
ply culture. There is a great deal
of gossip that has no maignity in
it. Good-natured people talk about
their neighbors because, and only
because, they have nothing else to
talk about. The confirmed gossip
is always either malicious or igno-
rant. The one variety needs a
change of heart, and the other a
change of pasture. Gossip is al
ways a personal confession either
Of malice or imbecility, and the
young should not only shun it, but,
by the most thorough culture, re-
lieve themselves from all tempta-
ton to indulge in it. 1t is low,
frivolous, and too often dirty
business. There are country neigh
borhoods where it RACES like a pest.
Churches are split in pieces by it.
Neighbors are made enemies by il
for life. In many persons it de-
generates into a chronic disease
which is practically incurable. Let

Publisher and Proprietor
General LOring in Abyssinia.


New York Evening Post.l
The war between Abyssinia and
Egypt appears to be a sleepy sort Of
struggle notwithstanding the pres
ence of American and European
officers in both armies. There is
an Oriental languor about the mill
tary operations reported which is
only emphasized by the occasional
sharp fighting, and the whole con-
duct of the campaign is in strong
contrast with modern military op-
erations in western countries.
General Loring, who is the real
commander Of the Egyptian forces,
is an American of unusual activity
and vigor, a restless, ard-fghting,
hard-marehing officer, whose theory
of war is that the enemy should
never be allowed to sleep within a
days march Of his guns; but Gen
Loring has just now to submit to
circumstances by no means favor
able to the system in which he was
educated, and his ability to adapt
himself to such conditions is strong
proof Of his fitness for command
He is at the head of about fifteer
thousand troops, with but three
batteries of artillery. He has pushed
his column into the enemy's coun
try, and is confronted by an army
Of eighty thousand men, in lant
whose topography is both difficult
and imperfectly known. No MAJ
has ever been made of it, and it
geographical problems are yet un
solved. His troops are not goot
ones in any respect, and they arr
made worse by the fact that
little while ago a body of then
were surrounded and cut to piece
by the very force which they ar,
now confronting.
On the whole then, there is n,
reason to wonder that General Lo
ring does not advance rapidly
Having taken position in the en-
emy's country, he has wisely forti
| fed his camp and awaited the enc
my's attack, which he has repulse
handsomely. Having succeeded i
defending himself, he threw out
column against the enemy and d,
feated them badly in an ofensiY
movement. He has thus taugh
his men confidence in himself an
in themselves, and at the same tim
taught the Abyssinians to fear hin
With anything like an adequal
force he could now afford to az
> vance, and without reinforcement
he can doubtless protect the Egyl
tian frontier effectually, which
! seemingly the chief task cOmmitte
to him.

mother shlpton,s Propheey.

Penn Monthly for FebruAry.l
The famous prophecy of Mother
Shipton, in England, has at last
been accomplished in many res
poets. Steamboats,, telegraphs' iron
clads, tunnels, the gold discoveries,
the admission Of the Jews into
England have been accomplished
in our century, as the fire Of Lon
don, the execution of Charles l.,
the death of Cardinal Wolsey and
the reigns of Elizabeth and James,
prophesied long before, came to
pass each in their own time. Her
doggerel verses which, are a power
ful influence in parts of Yorkshire
to this day, are as follows:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents ill the world with woe;
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye;
Water shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange but yet they shall be true.
The world up side down shall be,
And gold be found at the root ofa tree.
Through the hills man shalt ride,
And horse nor ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk:
In the air shall men be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as wooden boat.
Gold shall be found and shown
In land that's now not known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit jew,
The world to an end thall come
In eighteen hundred eighty-one.

Freemasonry IN the East.

The following extracts are taken
from an account of a lecture by
Robert Morris in the Rosita (Col-
orado) Index:
After the "Level and theSquare,"
in reference to his poem, the zap
peal of a Visiting Brother" he told
of his visit to a lodge in the heart
of Turkey, 400 miles from any
other lodge, and told of his warm
greeting there, and then related
several laughable incidents of WIS.,
iting brethren in this and other
countries.
= + 4
He then showed to us his Ma
sonic flag, which he had carried all
around the world, and, though
nothing remarkable in itself, it was
an object of curiosity to all when
he told us it had waved from the
bough of cedar of Lebanon-had
waved in Smyrna, Jerusalem, Jop-
pa, over the river Jordan, and other
places dear to Masons, and familiar
in Masonic history.
4 = =
After taking another short rest,
Brother Morris delivered his leo
ture on his trip to Jerusalem and
the Holy Land in search of " More
Light in Masonry" He told us
of the quarry under the city, from
which there was no question that
the marble was taken for building
Solomon'S Temple. He then told
us, how in that quarry he gathered
the Masons of Jerusalem together
and the preliminary steps were
taken for organizing lodge. How
he returned to America to obtain
the necessary funds and charter
for the lodge, and then Of the or
ganization and work of Royal Sol
omon "Mother Lodge Of Jerusa
lem" the first Masonic lodge evel
organized in the city from which
Masonry sprang.
