A Cardinal Error.


4 From the address of Grand Hig
Priest r. B. Mayes, to the Grand ChaI
ter of Mississippi, in 1871, we quote th
following, which is worthy of the mos
thoughtful consideration:
The cardinal error of the age, great
yet natural in politics, but most unnat
ural in religion, consists in giving un
| due prominence to things which are ms
terial in kind and temporary in durs
tion. Even among those whose Office
is, under God, to bring the blind by
way they knew not, to make darkness
light before them, and crooked thing
straight, too many are "men of th
world, who have their portion in thi
body, and for feeting time. A fatuity
which seems like judicial blindness, suh y
stitutes license for liberty. and promote
Utopian schemes of freedom that dis
card the just subordination which is Il
true liberty as the soil to the fruit; AMI
like faulty regards poverty, which il
in truth, the lightest trial of this prd
bationary state, as an unmiXed evil.
want, the cord which binds us to th
great Giver seems so short that we ca
see His hand in every benefit; but
prosperity our t ther is so long that w
lose sight of the hand that holds it. Hi
gifts appear to be the mere secretions
our rents or loans, or the just reward d
our own vigilance, energy and shrewd
ness in speculation. 1t is great and int
portant lesson to be INSTRUCTED both tt
be full and to be hungry; both
abound and to suffer need" to enjOt
prosperity with gratitude, and endur
adversely with resignation; to view til
fortunate without envy, the indigen4
without contempt; to do good to al
and whatsoever we do, to do all to th
glory of God.
So close is the relation between TIL
duties of Masonry and the Temporal
duties of religion, that those who ar
most faithful to their religious profesi
ion are ever most true to their Masoni
obligations. The vicious tendencie
which close our hearts to God, hardeI
them to our fellow-men. Especially doe
'coyetousness, which is idolatry,"

Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1884-09-05

A prominent American statesman,
says the London Globe, was said to take
pride in always knocking at any door
within which he had an engagement
precisely with the first stroke Of the
clock or with the very tick of his watch.
Perhaps if that wondrous wise states
man had taken the trouble to "tot up"
oil the odds and ends of time he must
have wasted in securing that pettifog-
ging precision he would have found that,
whatever he might have done for other
peoples time, hehad really been as waste
full of his own rs tho Veriest sloven in
this way may be Supposed to be on the
showing of very exemplary people-.as
wasteful, for instance, as Lord Palmers'
ton. who was known to drop in to pub
lie dinner four hours after the appointed
time.
When Bosville gave his fashionable
dinners in Welbeck street the guests
were always given to understand that
time must be observed to the minute,
and that if they were not there dinner
must proceed without them. 1t was moi
often that folks came late, for most peo'
pie can be punctual when they know il
is expected OF them. On one occasion,
however, it happened to be the astrono'
mer royal who came in half minute Oh
80 behind the appointed dinner hour
and found the guests coming down the
staircase to the dining-room. 81 trust
Mr.. Friend" said the host in greeting
him, " that in future you will bear il
mind we don't reckon time here by the
meridian of Greenwich but by the me
ridian of Welbeck street." That sort O
thing may all be very well when it ii
clearly understood that, in auctioneers
phroseology, it is to be dinner time
prompt" but it is not every host who
can muster the hardihood for such rig
idity, even though their guests may no
be astronomers royal. Most people
would agree with DR.. Johnson in hi
well-known dictum on the point
"Ought six people to be kept waiting
for one ?" asked Boswell, who was him
self inclined to proceed without one lag
gard. "Why, yes" said johnson, 81
the one will suffer more by your sitting
down than the six will by waiting"

THE WOsDEN NAN.

The most interesting statue to US, aud
perhaps the oldest image in Egypt, and
if so, in the world, is the Wooden Man,
which was found at Memphis. This
image, one metre and ten centimeires
high, stands erect, holding staff. The
figure is full of life, the pose expresses
vigor, action, pride; the head, round in
form, indicates intellect. The eyes are
crystal, in setting of bronze, giving II
startling look Of life to the statue. Ii is
no doubt portrait.
"There is nothing more striking,
says its discoverer, ethan this image, il
a manner living, OF person who has
been dead six thousand years" He
must have been q man of mark, and u
citizen of state we'll civilized; this is
not portrait OF a barbarian, nor was il
carved by a rude artist. Few artists,
think, have lived since who could impart
more vitality to wood. And il the date
assigned to this statue is correct, sculp'
ture in Egypt attained its maximum Of
development six thousand years ago.
This conclusion will be resisted by
many, and on different grounds. heart
a clergyman OF the Church of England
say to his comrade, as they were looking
at this figure:
"It's all nonsense; SIX thousand years
, It couldn't be. That's before the crea.
ton of man."
"Well, said the other, irreverently
"perhaps this was the model. "-U.arle,
Dudley Warner.

MEANNKSS OVERLAPPING ITSELF.

MEANNRSS OVERLAPPING ITSELF.
Meanness not infrequently resembles
the
Vauling ambition which o'erleaps itself,
And falls on the other.
An excellent illustration of this "o'er-
leaping is furnished by certain trans
action of John Jacob Astor with one of
his Captains. The story is told by q
writer in the Boston Transcript:
"The Captain had sailed six voyages
to China without a chronometer, de-
pending on dead reckoning and 'lu-
mars just starting on his seventh voy-
age he suggested to Mr., Astor that it
would be safer to have chronometer.
Well, get one, said the merchant.
"The Captain did so, and entered its
cost in his account current. When AS
tors eye fell upon the item, he drew his
pencil through it. The Captain expos
tulated. Said Aston, L told you to get
one l didn't say I'd pay for it..
"The Captain severed his connection
with Astor then and there, and went into
Wall street. engaged with other owners,
and before night was in command of as
fine ship as ever tloatcd in New York $
beautiful bay.
In three days she was ready for sea,
and set sail. At the same time Astor's
ship, under the command of new Cap
tain, set sail also. They had race for
Hong Kong, but the Captain who, as he
used to put it, had discharged John Ja-
cob Astor, by keeping the men at the
braces, took advantage OF every puff OF
wind, and won by three days.
"Then there was lively work. The
ship was loaded in the shortest time pos
sible, and before AStor's vessel, which
had arrived meantime, was half loaded,
our Captain weighed anchor, and, with u
full cargo OF ten, set sail for Sandy
Hook, arrived in good time, got his ship
alongside the wharf, and began hosting
out his cargo, which was sold by auction
on the spot.
"This glutted the market, for the con-
sumption was comparatively small in
those days, and when Astor's ship came
in prices had fallen.
"Two days later, as the Captain was
sauntering down Broadway, he met his
former employer.
"'How much did dat chronometer
cost you? asked the latter.
"'Six hundred dollars
"Vell, said Aston, dat vas sheap.
It cost me sixty tousand dollar |
"The merchant and the Captain have
long since paid the long reckoning, but
that chronometer is still good time
keeper, and treasured relic as well"

A CUP OF TEL.

In lecture by Mr.. G, r. Twcedie, r.
G. s., London, on "a Cup of Tea," the
speaker divided his subject into four
sections-the ten, the water, the milk,
the sugar. The lecturer first drew
attention to tea drinking with everyday
life. and showed that the principal COM
ponents of tea were theme and the es-
sential oil of tannin, which latter pos
sessed astringent properties. He in
formed the audience that the best time
TO take tea was about three hours after
dinner or any other heavy meal, and
deprecated in the strongest terms the
excess to which tea drinking is carried
by some people, asserting that such a
practice induced nervous disorganiza-
ton and impeded digestion. He showed
that the sole difference between black
and green tea was one OF preparation,
and that both kinds could be obtained
from the leaves of the same plant After
asserting that the adnlteration of ten had
very much decreased OF late years, which
the tea-drinking public will be glad to
know, the lecturer proceeding to treat Of
the various kinds OF shrubs grown in
different parts OF the world and the
countries where the different kinds Of
teas were consumed, the lecturer came
to the consideration of the milk, its
value as a nutrit!ve agent, and, referring
to its adulteration, he made the astound'
ing assertion that in London alone every
year no less than 970,00 was spent Oh
water which was sold as milk. Passing
on to regard the sugar, the lecturer de-
MED the common error that sugar wa
injurious to the teeth, bringing forward
as an example the negroes Of Jamaica,
who, he said, though they were the
greatest eaters of sugar in the world
were proverbial for their beautiful teeth
