: One word to Masons. Yeu who have
7 stood upon the checkered payment and
? learned to bear, as becomes nen, the
/, burdens OF this life; you who hayeelimb-
ed the winding stairway and been aught
how to reverence and keep sacred the
/ Sabbath day; YOU who have passed ito
the Holy of Holes and witnessed an Ell.
|, emplifcation of all that is honorable il
conduct and glorious in character-you
: / trust, have seen more in this than
series of unmeaning rites.
If the spirit of truth has not apple Il
your lives the morals of these ceremenie
then, indeed, have you labored i'm vail
and spent your strength for naught.
Let me believe better things of you
Let me hope that you have fully entere,
into the spirit of these solemn ceremonie
and understand the full import of the 81
interesting symbols, for then, and not til
then, can you justly claim the noble nam
of Mason.
Then and then only can you peacefully
await the dread summons of death. Then
my brother, SO live that when that sum

travel into that f%ar-country whence yo1
shall never return, you may receive tn,
reward of a w~ell-spent life-the wages O
the faithful craftsman.

A MalAV VILLAGE.

Within fifty miles of New Orleans, in
a bee line southwest, says the Times
Democrat, there has existed, for nearly,
two generations, a real Malay village
the existence of which has been almost
wholly unknown within the city. 1t is
IA lake village constructed in true ori-
entail style, and is known as Saint Malo.
The settlement is Il peculiarly chaotic
part of the world, where definition be-
tween earth and water ceases, an amphi
bious land tull of quivering and quag-
mires. suited rather to reptile life than
to human "Xistence--a region wan and
Doubtful and mutahle. A reporter who
visited il says" /, is an easy sail from
the great city: yet the place is as dead
to the civilized world us the heart Of
alnbohia there are no newspapers or
relegraphs, no courts, no laws, no police,
no hotels, no blr-rooms, no spirits, no
churches, no missionaries, no women!
There are shotguns, however, and
spiked clubs for crushing the skulls Of
alligatorS; there are canoes, boats, nets
and moss mattresses and myriads of
frogs"
