MASONIC SPIRIT.

The ambition OF the truo Mason is to raise a
smile on the check of sorrow, his highest gratifica-
ton to find himself the cause. The situation OF
every one however wretched he makes his own
he weeps with those who weep and rejoicos with
those who rejoice Poverty never raises It's sup
plicang hand in vain. He bids not the NAKED go
and be clothed. the hungry be filled. but
the same impulse that moves his heart In the un-
happy orphans favor directs his loving hand to
relief The most inexorable hatred dies when It's
object Is in distress. At that moment every
stronger passion, every colder feeling yieGs to the
unassuming goodness of charity soeiai syinParny ny
foreota that IL was foe. Revenge smooths It's
kindling ardor and the cruel enemy dies in the
needy friend.
There ls no society on earth whose laws and
maxims more energetcally enforce the practice OF
this gospel virtue whose actions breathe a more
loved fraternity Unlike other establishments or
human wisdom, it has derived no aid from popular
preudices and at no period In It's history mas

THE IIYNCEING IN THIS CIT1.-A

negroes alleged to have been lynched
throughout the U alted States during
the past year. A paper about the size
of An eight.by-ten pane OF glass, pub.

OF this literature has been sent here.
The circular states that colored man
named John Smith, charged with 0
misdemeanor, was lynched IN this city
on the 18th OF March. All Of this, Of
course, is myth. A negro named Mo-
Coy, it will be remembered, was strung
up on the 22d Of April, after having
confessed to the commission of q helm.

Tins were imperilled. The paper re-
ferred to in its comments on the Alex
andria lynching has this sage sugges-
ton:
SIT is now high time for q decisive
step to be taken toward 9 final settle
ment of the lynching question in the
United States. Congress should be
asked to make laws to meet the emer.
gency The only substantial remedy
that appears worthy of adaptation is
the making of law by Congress which
