Nor yet is it a part of the languages of Syria, Tyre, or Chal dea; nor is it Hebrew. More ancient than all, it comes from a nation that bad organiza tion, architecture, and literature before Abi ham first beheld the stars glitter on the plains of Shinar. It is from the language of ancient Egypt. That wonderful laud where all auti- deluvian science and art was preserved and extended; where a system of priestlj and kingly government was carried out, which has ever been the wonder of the world.

The people follow the visitor howling for bread “two men lio upon the ground quite dead, mid a third is laid upon one side of the bazar, covered with a piece of dirty cotton. A naked woman lies in the agony of death, surrounded by a crowd of beings almost as badly off as herself. The rext form is that of a woman who scrapes from the ground a handful of melon seed and filth, which she divides be tween her two children.” This is one morn ing’s ride. There is no hope for any of them, though the Shah has- as Mr. Murray testi fies— bucketsful 1 of jewels in the private treas ury, aud the famine cannot en.l until Julv. Napoleonic Brevities. The great Napoleon had a quick insight iuto systems and theories made up of shams and fallacies. On lookiug over Say’s work on Po litical Economy, he remarked that “if an em pire were made of adamant, these free trade systems would grind it to powder.” Its pub lication was forbidden in France for twelve years. Among his many terse, incisive, epi grammatic expressions was this: “Formerly there was only one kind of property, land: au- other has since arisen, industryand he held it to he quite as necessary to protect one as the other. Napoleon recognized the great power of industry and the immense superiority cf com merce over battalions wbeu he made tho remark at St Helena that he had been “sub dued. not so much by English arms as by English spindles.” In regard to a National Bank, instead of spinning out a long essay, he said: “It is necessary to enable the people at all times to obtain money at moderate rates of interest.” Governor Hoffman suggests that the Federal Constitution be so amended as to previde for the election of United States Senators by the people instead of the State Legislatures. That amendment and the one term principle might be waxed together, and thus two birds hit with one stone. The Maryland Legislature, which met in Annapolis yesterday in biennial session, will, on January 16, elect a successor to Senator Vickers, whose term expires in March, 1873. Tbo Governor elect, Pinkney White, will be installed next Wednesday. An effort will be made to repeal the law compelling a Senator from the eastern aud western shores, in order to make certain favored gentlemen elligible for the placo. George Alfred Townsend, in a late letter says of tho Democracy: “The Democratic party is showing how perfectly dead it is by the difficulty of making anything ont of its ruins. I have seen about a dozen Democratic members of Congress here, and they all look upon any new party affiliation with that sort of apprehension that an old poor house va grant does when you begin to suggest any new opinion of pauper reform. Many of these Democrats fear to break up their grog caucus- ses at home, of which they now pull the strings by a sort of automatic genius, while any change might result in their replacement by better men under the now coalition. This makes them all stand off.” And here we see where we get the observance of the two days of St. John’s. The Egyp tians, the Chaldeans, and all the aucient philosophers, Pythagoras especially, observed as sacred those two days iu the year on which tho sun shone for the longest and shortest time upon the earth. They were the 21st of Jane and tho 21st of December. Iu the dark ages, as the festivals of St Johns occurred near these days, aud were generally observed by the mass of men, they came to take the place of the other two, in the observance of the craft. And thus it was gradually that they wero considered patrons of the craft, and that Lodges, formerly dedicated to King Solo mon, came to be dedicated to them. And afterwards the two parallel lines were made to refer to them; although originally they referred to Moses and Solomon. In the lapse of time, and daring the pro gress ai an order whose ritual cannot be writ ten, errors have crept into our working, think that most of them are due to the herd of Masonic lecturers, who have generally combined zeal and ignorance in equal propor tions. I may have spoken sharply in this article, but not unkindly. I feel a great respect for Comp. D., for his zeal, knowledge, and Indus try; but I think him wrong, and I have said so. If I have hart his feelings, I ask his par don; but his often expressed opinions have certainly outraged mine. Carry out his views, and you destroy all Masonic reverence for law. In such a quarrel, I would strike my own father. Let thee* ba peace between us. Comp. Drummond, and, if possible, agreement Again I say that I hare no objection to a so ciety for mutual admiration or debate, and still less to a meeting for consultation in regard to work. I will meet Comp. D. half way, and if the G. G. C. will only lay aside its arrogant and absurd title aud call itself what it really should be, a general committee of of conference on chapter work, I will urge the G. C. of Virginia, to send up a stout, able bodied delegate, of strong lungs and capacious stomach, to take part in its deliberations, pro vided that nothing he may eat, drink, hear, oi say shall bo consider of binding force on the G. C. of Virginia. TLe Due Gnanl. There is a symbolical due guard in Masonry the benefits of which belong to the Craft. Every Mason must know how, where, and when it is lawful to observe it. But wheu he places himself as a citizen in society, there is a due guard attached to our fraternal institu tion in the watch that every member is in duty bound to set over himself. He is to be to himself, if he understands the precepts of Masonry, prudent, circumspect, and should be governed by the principle of love. And to keep duly guarded, it becomes absolutely nec essar^to prudently observe the meaning of all ha says; take strict cognizance of what he does—how it will affect others and himself. A careful and cautious due guard over all of his meditations, the chain of thoughts into which the mind may run, should constantly remind us, as Masons, of all our obligations; to those which pertain to humanity, univer sal, and more especially to our worthy broth erhood. The due guard of Masonry, binds us with a cord that cannot be broken. We are to keep in sacred remembrance the fearful penalties of the wear and tear of conscience; to keep in mind the knowledge of broken vows and violated trust. We are not only to hold invi olate what Masons has entrusted to our care, but that which our worthy brother confidently places in our keeping. Every Mason obli gates himself to present a true life, and his whole aim should be to fulfill such n life. This constitutes the symbolical interpretation of a due guard. And whenever a brother, as he mingles among the profanes and becomes reckless in relation to his own reputation, prodigal in his habits of life, forgetful of the principles taught, we readily discover that he is^ neglecting the due guard of Masonry.— llyslic Star. died at 10:45 a. m., at the Grand Central Ho- tel, in the presence of his wile, his father iu- Jaw, Mr. Morse, Jay Gould, aud a large num ber of intimate friends. There was a change in tho syptoms at C a # u., aud at 7 it was evident that death was ap proaching, and he commenced rapidly to de cline. His agony was mitigated by injections t>f morphine, and he retained partial con sciousness until 10 o’clock, when he re cognized his friends, und thanked several visitors. Stokes’ weapon was a four barreled Colt s revolver, carrying a rifle ball. At midnight Fisk s&id he thought ho would get over it S;okes and his attorney had talked about the suit, and the attorney assured Stoke3 they had broken down the case, and it would, be dismissed. Stokes said, in an excited tone, •' Is there no way to beat this man. ” Stokes (hen went to Miss Mansfield’s, thence to the icene of the tragedy. At midnight Fisk slept tranquilly. The Joctors considered his sympton3 favorable. The ball has been found but not extracted. Fisk gave a lucid account of the event to the jury. «^Mtss Mansfield, who visited Stokes in jail, told the reporter that he (Ned Stokes) must have been crazy. Fisk died at 11 o’clock this morning. The employees of the Erie Railroad, of all grades, have crowded the corridors since morning. Jay Gould was in constant attendance. While Fisk lived Gould’s face wore its usual calm expression, but when Fisk expired his forttitude gave way. Gould’s grief found vent in tears.

The inner man as well as the outer surface of the body, mat be protected. The raw, moist, chilly winds which prevail at this sea son transpierce tho warmest clothing, and are apt to affect the health unfavorably, both through the pores and respiratory organs. The surest way to avert the evil is to strengthen the internal machine, and thus enable it to repel the devitalizing influence of un wholesome weather. Enrich the blood, gently stimu late the circulation, regulate tho bowels, invigorate the stomach, tone the liver, and brace the nerves with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, and no condition of the atmosphere, however inclement, no variation of the barometer or thermometer, however sudden, will have power to disorder the system thus fortified in ad vance, and put in perfect working order. Damp and cold, acting upon a sensitive or feeble organization, •7 produce consumption, diptheria, neuralgia, rheu matism, dyspepsia, liver complaint, low nervous fe- cr intermittent lever; the importance of render ing the system impervious to these two destructive elements is therefore obvious. Persons in delicate health, or who are at all liable to be injuriously af- fec ed by atmospheric influences, should take the Bitters daily throughout tho winter and spring. In this way dangerous diseases may be warded off, and a condition of perfect health preserved by individual* of comparatively feeble physique, while thoee more robust, who scoff at precautions, are suffering the pen alty of their recklessness in hospitals and flick rooms, jau 0-dkwlw Reanimxtiso the Hair.—When the hair ceases to draw from the scalp the natural lu bricant whicl its sustenance, its vitality is, as it were, nded, and if not promptly attended, b.v.ci.css will he the certain result.
