DEVOTION TO DUTY.

l This generally requires many a costly | sacrifice of ease and pleasure. Anyone who has visited Mt Vernon can appreci- ate the sacrifice required to exchange the elegant life of the gentleman planter 1 for the priVatiOns and dangers of the cannon. LincOIn's farewell to his neigh bors and friends when he left Spring 1 field revealed the burden of his heart as l he assumed the cares of state. Yet neither shrank from the call of duty, but acknowledging their dependence upon Him who sustained Joshua, they went out to their great work strong and of good courage. They determined to have the love OfsGOd and to ''turn pot from the right hand or the left, that thou
 mayest prosper whithersOever thou
 goest." They evinced their dependence
 on the Divine power at many critical
 periods Behold, Washington praying in
 the midnight of the revolution 'at Valley
 Forge. See him again asking the priyi-
 Iege of the communion with church not
 of his own order, when his fortunes were
 ebbing so low at Morristown. And when
 success was assured note his gratitude
 to God who giveth us the victory. What
 more pathetic words were ever uttered than Lincoln's farewell to his western nome friends, and how clearly the character of the man is revealed when he osShs oHOu UO pray IUE HUI dS ho leaves them to face difficulties such as few men were ever called upon to encounter. And again when the time seemed ripe for the great proclamation of freedom, how natural it seems that he should spend that night in seeking the divine fayors before the announcement was made to the world, for whatever may have been Lincoln's peculiar religious views, his 1 whole public career testified to his strong faith in God, Was not this the source of that sterling good sense that made the nation confide in him when armies were defeated, and statesmen were wrangline over questions of governmental policy? ! When the war for independence was over there was still to be no rest for the lead I CT of the victorious armies. He wIio had | led so well through the storms of war, must guide the ship of state past many . { perilous coast into the haven of peace. Having twice filled the office Of chief magistrate he will not permit his name to 1e considered for Q third term.

But now all the world can see | how well it was that, not 8 man If | GhOughtless impulse, but one of cool, clear head, and with the highest c0ncep- tion of duty, guided the affairs of state in that critical tune.

 how great would be the relief to cast off the awful burden that nearly crushed l him. But the people would commit this
 vast, bur delicate trust, to no one else, and healing in the voice of the people
 the call of God, he accepted the trust again, in tho belief as he Quaintly ex-
 pressed it that "it is unwjse to swap

 But for his Uutimely death it is hard to tell what would have been his experience

 been true to his conception of duty. In

Address Of NON. James II. HOpkins.

When I was requested, week ago, to de-
liver an address, upon this occasion, re-
piled that the time was too short within
which l could prepare anything worthy of
the event or creditable to myself; but, that
being always willing to respond to a Mason
ic appeal, l would accept the invitation
and although "silyer and gold have l none,

ing to you with this understanding, we are

ton of the relative value of the two metals;

As the Israeites of old were accustomed
to set up memorial stones to mark their rec
ognition of Jehovah's guidance through cer-
tain epochs in their history; so Malta Lodge
has lust dedicated its Hall as monument
of its progress and should inscrbe over its
portals 'hitherto hath the Lord helped us"

Of this Lodge but can well imagine the
anxiety with which the faithful Brethren
saw it launched upon an uncertain sea-
And now, after a successful and memorable
cruise. she rides at anchor for a day, that we
NAV revise her log, and with just pride read
over its historic incidents, before she again
sets sail into the unknown future. But the
coming cruise arouses no fear. A trusty
and experienced Captain will be on the
bridge; faithful Pilot will be at the helm;
she will be fully manned by a yigilant and
courageous crew; her priceless cargo of ex-
periences, aud noble principles, aud lofty
aspirations, and earnest hopes will be insur-
ed by an Underwater who neither slum-
bers nor sleeps who holds the sea in the
hollow of his hand" who rides upon the
whirlwind and oyerrues the storm"

Ny heart, my dear girl, has many string
Which Love, with kindness, failed to ring,
When he sang of thee;
The song was sweet. and the chords he drew
Were deep and thrilled me through and through
With their intensity;
But fainter and fainter grows the strain,
Some of the strings are still again,
And the player is resting and soon shall sleep,
While aimlessly now his fingers creep
Back and forth DER a string or two,
Striking one low note where he drew,
A short time since such stirring song
And strive not to rouse him to play again,
He is tired, for the song he sung was long,
And, although his fingers still remain
On the harp, no music now swells my soul,
They are weary and wander without control ;
While Love. all tired mods DER the strings
And soon shall sleep when he wakes again
He will seize his harp, and a glad new strain
Shall Danish the old from my heart and brain
With the happy notes it brings
All OF sorrow, all of pain
All the hopes that have been vain.
All the memories that remain
OF the old songs dying strain,
All the pangs of heart and brain
Shall betalSe themselves TO wings.
When Love strikes again tie strings,
When another song he sings
Love is nodding, soon he sleeps,
Silence DER the harp-strings creeps,-
Sleeps, but soon shall wake again,
With a newer, gladder strain

LOVE, THE HARPER!


Like harp, with many strings,
And Love, each day, plays different way,
And different song he sings:
Each song seems more sweet than the on
before;
We forget the old, as we list to the new,
And trust it will last, but it soon is DER,
And q new strain thrills us through ant
through
Love plays fast but we cannot complain,
Carried away by each new strain.
After playing lay on lay,
Suddenly some summer day,
Love, the harper strikes the strings
With a sweeping stroke that brings
Wond'rous music such as we
Never dreamed that he could play.
And our soul, in ecstacy,
Listens to the melody
To the notes so sweetly swelling,
To the song so sweetly telling
OF the player in US DWELLING
Playing of maiden fair,
Singing of her wavy hair,
OF her eyes of tend rest blue
OF her heart so fond and true,
Msiden she beyond compare
Singing of maiden fair
Love, we think, can never sing
Such a song as this again;
He is sweeping every string,
Every note and chord to ring,
Never played he such a strain.
Ne'er shall play the like again
Suddenly the music dies,
And, when Love begins again,
On new and sweeter strain,
Notice we, with glad surprise,
That the song that thrilled us so,
That our soul seemed taking wings,
Came from meath Love gentle blow,
While untouched were half the strings,
While with Joy we could have wept
Half our heart-strings were unswept.
Love has many songs he sings,
And our hearts have many strings.
