HAD A CHOICE.

The fight at Blackburn's Ford, just to the left of
Bull Run, was opened by the Second Massachu-
sets Infantry. Supported by a New York and
two Michigan regiments, they advanced into the
woods until they heard something drop. The
regiment bumped up against intrenchments and
were subjected to a tremendous fire. Before going
into the woods the regiment was deessed as on
parade, and the Colonel rode out and exclaim
ed:
men of Massachusetts, the eyes Of your country
are upon you"
There was a grand yell, and they went in to
conquer or die. After fifteen minutes desperate
fighting they returned from the woods to re form
behind the supports. Among the last was an old
man. He had thrown away coat, hat, gun and
all Announcements, and was badly demoralized,
AS he passed the left flank Of a Michigan regi
ment in line Of battle, a wag called out;
"only eight hundred miles 10 Boston"
The old man halted for q moment and another
joker observed
1.-THE eyes of your country are upon yon."
"You blamed Wolverines, go to grsHsl' growled
the old warrior. 1--WE got q choice about this
thing and l 'druther stand the eyes OF my coun.
try all day long than the FIRE Of them cussed rebels
for five minutes"

ARE YOU A FREE MAsoN9

The Rev, Mr., McGll, rector of st, Pauls Church,
Peoria, ILL.,, having been asked the above question
replied as follows:
I am one Of the band who will faithfully stand
In the bonds Of affection and love-
1 have knocked at the door, once wretched and poor,
And there for admission 1 strove.
By the help of a friend, who assistance did lend,
1 succeeded an entrance to gain;
Was received in the west" by Omman from the
East"
But not without feeling some pain.
Here my conscience was taught, by a moral quite
fraught
With holy and true;
Then onward l travelled to see 1t unravelled
What Hiram intended to do.
Very soon In the East 1 made known my request
And Light by command did come;
When 10 1 perceived in due foim revealed,
A master" ~ Brother, - a Friend"
Thus far have stated and simply related,
What happened when 1 was made free;
But I've travelled since then, and was raised up
again
TO sublime and ancient degree.
Then onward I marched that I soon might be
~AsANA
And find out those treasures long lost,
When behold a bright flame, from the midst of
which came
A voice which my ears did accost.
Through the Wales" I then went and succeeded at
length
The "SanctDm SdnctOrum' to find;
By the signet l gained, and quickly obtained
Employment which suited my mind.
In the depths 1 then wrought and carefully sought,
For the treasures so long hidden there,
And by labor and toll l discovered rich spoil,
Which are kept by the craft with due care,
Having thus far arrived, I further contrived,
Among valiant knights to appear;
And as pilgrim and knight, 1 stood ready to fight,
Nor Saracen foe did | fear
For a widow distressed there's a chord In my breast,
For the helpless and orphan [ feel;
And my sword / could draw to maintain the true
law,
Which the duty of MasOns reveal.
Thus have I revealed, yet wisely concealed,
What the Free and Accepted" will know;
1 am one of the band who will faithfully stand
AS a brother wherever 1 go.

FARMING THAT DON'T PAY.

Whether there are many kinds of farming that
