The Masonic Goat.

Do I understand you to say, Sir, tina
YOU doubt my assertion, when l said tne1e
were goats in the Lodge. Then perhaps
Won will be convinced after l have related
a circumstance which happened before the
late war, in not far distant city, in one
of our Southern States. The Masonic
Lodge of that city were making extensive
prepsrations to entertain the fraternity OF
an adjoining State in an elaborate manner,
and as the Lodge room presented dirty,
dipgy appearance, the Lodge ordered the
TYLER to employ some female help to scrub,
scour. clean the furniture and carpets,
which hsd been neglected for many day, so
that everything would be neat IL order,
bv the time the reception would be held:
To rerform the necessary work required
the TYLER employed two women, but pre-
vious to admitting the women into the
Lodge room to begin their labOTs, the Ty-
Ter. assisted By some brethren, removed or
hid away all the effects and working tools
of the Lodge az best they could, Ior they
we'll knew that if the women who were en-
ployed 10 perform the work were like the
average cf their sex they would search
into every nook and corner Of the Lodge
room in order to find out any of the Ma
sons secrets, and in consequence the ~
Ter and brethren were very careful IN hid
ing everything. But alas in their haste
Tor hearing the women approaching up the
stairs). they forgot the goat, who they lett
in his quiet abode in the dark closet,
near the East, not even locking the door,
or even removing the key from the same.
On the enterance of the women to the
lodge room, the brethren retired in an IN,
concerned manner, which they supposed
would leave an impression on the minds OF
the women that there were no mysteries
