Distribution of Plants.

The world is full of wonders to every
one who has not made up his mind to be
astonished at nothing he may see. To
the thoughtful mind there is much in
nature to inspire wonder and admira-
ton. The wise adaptation of means to
ends, and the beautiful harmony that
exists throughout all the realm of organic
nature, lead the mind, free from bias, to
the inference that some wise, intelligent
power orders and governs all these rela-
tions and harmonies. Perhaps nowhere
in nature is there q more manifest ex-
hibition of wisdom in the adaptation of
means to the accomplishment of q
worthy purpose, than is seen in the va
rious methods employed by nature for
the dissemination of plants by the dis
tribution of seeds.
Z In looking at this subject with an in
teligent eye, the mind can not shut out
the conviction that some intelligent de-
signer must have been employed in
planning this scheme that has so much
Of both excellence and variety to recon-
mend it to the judgment. To say that
all this is to be attributed to chance, Is
to endow chance with all the attributes
Of . Deity, which is the very reverse Of
the idea intended to be conveyed by the

Naturally enough, in view Of the discov-
cry of sO-called Masonic emblems under
our ''Cleopatra's needle" an, the con-
sequent discussion of the authority of
Masonry, this curious fact was investi-
gated, and the Chinese incorporators
said that they were Masons before they
came to America; that they had been
tried and proved IS such by American
and English Masons; that they have
evidence to prove the existence Of Ma
