Antiquity Of Masonry.

LIEUTENANr-C Commander Gorringe
Of the u. S. Navy, who is supcrin,end-
ing the removal of the Obelisll of AL
exandria, which wa2 given TO the City
Of New York by the ex-Khedive of
Egypt, for shipment to this country,
has discovered under its pedestal rep
rcsentations Of a perfect masonic al
tar and apron, 9esidns other equally
significant emblems. The obelisk
has stood in its present location for
over 1900 years and the discovery of
these cmblems will solve one Of the
most difficult problem that has ever
bothered searchers after tho origin Of
Masonry. Heretofore it's history has
never been traced back farther than
the 18th century, but these emblems
furnish q connecting link which will
enable savants to trace the existence
of the order back until they will find
that it had its origin in the East thous-
ands OF years before the Choistian
era. Thereby they will have proof
conclusive that King Solomon was
one Of the matters Of the order, and
the legend Of Hiram AbiT will be
verified.

Evils OF Gossip.

CAN the evil wraught by gossip be
estimated? We think not. A wise
woman can scarcely say too little in
company if the conversation trenches
in the least upon scandal. Many q
social noble minded woman has been
obliged 10 withdraw herself from Il
rcighborhood intimacy, which would
have been pleasant otherwise because
her remarks were returned Ivy some
idle ale-bearer, SO perverted az TO
make her doubt the existence of gcnu-
inc friendship; and ccccpt loneliness
sor the sake Of the safety it brought.
You say we must talk "about some
thing" Yes and through that very
fact we see n remedy for the evil, to
so thoroughly interest ourselves in
other and better things that we find
no space TO spare for our ncighbors'
affairs. Let us talk of our work, our
homes, our household our books, or
our babies. Let US teach our eyes 10
find beauty every where, while we
blind them by constant watchfulacss
to blemish. Never, under any cir
cumstances, cast the first stone.
Then, if an erring ncighbor goes
down, you cannot '';lame yourself for
assisting the downfall.
