"D0ne For"

In speaking OF the Burney &
DeElwood's Minstrels last week, we
gave theIa credit for rare merit.
and now insist on it, that We have
rarel y ever seen Il set of scoundrels
who more richly merited term in
the penitentiary.
This festive company made It's
advent IN our midst one Thursday
midnight, gave concert FRIDAY
night, and intended to give another
Saturday night, but being prevent
ed by rain, remained over I'll Mon
day. In the meantime, Barney, tie
ostepsible head or leader, gave the
clearinghouse madam and saloon
keepers generally to understand
that he was responsible for nj! tie
little expenses the SIX men might
incur. And right lively did they
guzzle whisky and wade into hash
But the end came, and last Tues
day morning at sunrise saw THEM
well on the way to Alexandra, the
clearinghouse and saloons none
the better off. 4 warrant was pit
III the hands of the sheriff, and
that officer went nown on the Bart
Able Tuesday night to catch Bur
ney at Alexandria. An entertain
ment was to be given in that place
Wednesday night, SO the sheriff
concluded TO wait until it's close
and take in Burney while he was
full-handed, in which case it was
thought he would settle up, and so
save himself the trouble of accom-
panying the sheriff back to this |
place. Bnrney showed up with u
countenance until dark, |
md then, oh where was he?

Gordy, has been the caterer and

self, much as was expected from
him. With eloquence and unusual
pathos he made the sacred en-
blems of the order living messen-
gers of the most important truths
that man ever received, and it is
not his fault if Masons do not learn
that they are called to a higher
manhood and a better life. To
the eyes Of the uninitiated their
emblems may only be an outward
adornment to please the eyes, bat
to worthy weareYs inspired voices
that speak living truths that never
Gle! he taught that Masonry is
not to be judged by the character
OF one or many members, but what
it always has and will be to those
who heed its couusels and obey its
mandates. As Masonry is not con-
fined in its benefits to the order
we are glad its orator proposes
TO entertain others.
On Sunday, 10Th inst, at ten
o'clock, he will give those who de-
sire 1t am opportunity to hear him. |
All who can are advised to avail |
themselves of the privilege, for
