rhe uoc,rInes of Freemasonry.

There is no human institution in exist
ence whose doctrines have been more grossly |
yilified and misrepresented than those of our |
time honored institution. Anathemas have
been pronounced by iDtolerant bigots, ignor-
ance and superstition have combined in un-
holy alliance aud have sought by repeated
efforts to overthrow the solid foundation OF
truth upon which the beautiful superstruc-
ture of Freemasonry is erected. Political
parties have sprung into existence who by
yituperation and abuse of that which they
understood not have attracted passing at
tenton by their silly pratings demonstra-
ting thereby their utter Ignorance OF the
cardinal principles underlying the Masonic
| System and proving themselves falsitiers un-
worthy of notice.
Ignorance unfortunately is not confined
to those whom Masonry styles the 'profane,
opinions are sometimes advanced by masons
who if to judge by their titles aud the mys-
tical numbers with which they love to adorn
their signatures should possess at least the
wisdom of Solomon and who II subjected
to an examination such as an entered arpren-
tice should readily pass, manifest their ut
ter Ignorance of the symbolism, laws, and
ethics of Freemasonry, by endeayoring to
represent that Masonry is a religion or q
substitute therefor, when it is neither.
''By Davids lips these words were spoken
. The truth is living yet
No man can save his brothers soul
Or pay his brothers debt.
e The doctrines OF Masonry are three fold,
g philosophical, moral and religious. The
a philosophical doctrines are brought to light
in the search after divine truth; this con
summation can only be effected by close at
10 tontion to and the profound study of thu
e symbolism of the craft presenting to tn
t. earnest investigator the most profound
thoughts of antiquity as well as the vas
field of the sciences that have been the sub
- ject of enquiry by the Intelligent in til
a past as in the present.
D. The moral doctrines are epitomized iu th
a. charge delivered to the entered apprentic
a., when he is informed of the duties he owes I
God, his neighbour, and himself. When h
is taught that mankind is one uniyersi
brotherhood. That he should practice IL
golden rule, relieve the distressed, be ten
perate in all things. Practice justice,
al prudent in all things and bear the ills of Ii
with becoming fortitude, that fervency al
- zeal should characterize his actions, th
Ia faith, hope and charity should be to hi
living actual realities These are not ide
DC. of modern invention but are doctrines
10 Freemasonry dating back at least to the +
teenth century when Masonry was an oper
- tive guS lunis in existence ample e.

Sunhowers for Fuel.

1t will probably curdle the blood Of
the aesthetic reader to learn that the
superb and leonine suniower is grown
out West for fuel. They have been
raised in Russia and Tartary for centu'
ries for that purpose, but their intro
duction with US is of recent origin. Out
in Dakota they are planted like corn.
They are harvested in two parts. the
seed heads being cut off and put away
in a corn crib, and the stalks piled in a
shed. When cut in the right tint, the
stalks when dry are hard as oak, and
make good hot fire. while the seed
heads, with the seed in, make better
fire than the best hard coal. The seed,
being very rich in oil. will burn better
and longer, bushel for bushel. than
hard coal. The sunfower is also ex.
tensively cultivated in certain sections
for the seeds, which are used to feed

CHAPTER IL

Twill here pause to describe the ship,
which, being the thcater of much that
befell me which is related III this story,
l should place before your eyes i'll as
true a picture as l can draw.
The GrosvcnOr, then, was small,
full-rIgged ship of five hundred tons,
painted black with asingle white streak
below her hulwarks She was a soft
wood vessel. built in Halifax, n. S.
Her lines were very perfect. Indeed,
the beauty of her hull, her lofty maStS.
stayed with as great perfection as 4
man-of-war's her graceful tigure-head,
sharp yacht-like bows. and round stern
had filled me with admiration when /
first beheld her. Her decks were white
and well kept She had poop and a
top-gallant forecastle, both of which |
think the builder might have spared,
as she was scarcely big enough for
them. Her richly carved wheel, brass
Delaying pins, brass capstan, brass bin
nacle, handsome skylightS and other
such details, made her look like a gay
pleasurc-veSSel rather than a sober
trader. Her cuddy, however. was
plain enough, containing six cabins.
including the pantry. The woodwork
was cheaply vanished mahogany; a
fixed table ran from the mizzen-m3st TO
within few feet of the cudGy front,
and on either side this table was i
stout hair-covered bench. Abaft the
mizzen-mast were the two cabins re-
spectively occupied by Captain Coxon
and Mr. Duckling. Ny own cabin was
just under the break of the poop, so
that from the window init could look
out upon the main-deck. A couple of
broad skylights, well protected with
brass wire-fenders, let plenty of light
into the cuddy; and swinging trays
and lamps, and red curtains to draw
across the skylights when the sun beat
upon them, completed the furniture of
| this part of the vessel. H
We could very well have carried a
few passengers, and I never learned
why we did not; but it may, perhaps,
have happened that nobody was going
our way at the time we were advertised
| to sail.

New Industry in Dahl.

a new industry has sprung up il
Delhi. Some enterprising natives are
taking advantage of the Government
offer of two annas for every snake
killed to trade on the old tradi tionary
tree-and-serpent worship. The 4th o.
August is the great serpent-worshiping
day, and every Tuesday the pipal tree
is worshiped by Hindoo women.
Taking advantage of the reverence
paid to snakes, a large number of men
have set to work catching these reptiles.
Then, taking them into the streets
where pious Hindoos most abound, they
announce that they are on their way
to claim the reward but are quite
willing. for pice or two more, to re-
lease the reptiles and TO save them
selves from the sin of snake murder,
which their poverty would otherwise
drive them to commit. The appeal is
invariably successfully Y. Star.
