Save the Blackberry Crop.
It would surprise people who have not
thought upon the ‘ subject, to learn the
large” income that might be easily realized
from the blactberry crop of this section.
Most people are in the habit of contenting
themselves with the enjoyment , of a few
messes of this delicious esculent, that no
where grows to a greater degree of perfec
tion than in this section; and their only al
lusion to ils value, is by derisirely calling
it the “poor man’s bread.” We do not
propose, at present, to descant upon the
healthfulness of this berry as an article of
diet, and the great propriety of every fern'
ly providing for their own use, a full supply
not only of the fresh berries, but also in
the dried state, and made into wine; but we
wish to call attention to them as an article
of merchandise. Dried blackberries are
now quoted in the New York market at
25 cents a pound. Now, suppose that in
Rome the merchants would pay but one-
half this price, just think what one-half
the families of this and the adjoining coun
ties might realize from the present abund
ant crop. Children from 10 to 15 years old
could pick enough to make 8 pounds of
dried berries per day. There i» a dollar, at
the supposed price. There might at least
one thousand women and children, in this
county, engage in this business for the
next 30 days. Here would be thirty thou
sand dollars saved that ordinarily goes en
tirely to waste, in Floyd county alone. But
suppose twenty counties all do as well, that
would save to this sectim the handsome
sum of 600,000 dollars—a snm which,
in addition to the present inoomes would,
in a few years, place our section in afflu
ent circumstances
. Another great advantage attendant up
on properly saving this important crop, is,
the fact that most of the beneficiaries
would probably he found among that class
who will not have large crops of cotton or
grain from which to realize an inoome.
The blackberry crop may net only be the
“poor man’s broad” for a few weeks, but.
it may also be made to pay for his su
gar and coffee, and most of his store goods,
for the rest of the year.
There will undoubtedly be a Market
this year for all that can be saved. They
should be thoroughly dried so as to prevent
the possibility of moulding. Col. J. R-
Towers & Son of this city wish to buy 10 000
lbs We hope our friends will suggest this
matter to their neighbors who do not take

Request of the lodge.
When men of distinction and of moral
worth, who have endeared themselves to us
bv their many amiable qualities, are sud
denly cut down, we love to embalm their
virtues as sacred relics, and entomb' them
in our hearts. _ .
It is gratifying to the feelings of friend
ship to Tecall to mind their noble deeds and
wonderful, achievements, and rehearse them
to others as paragons of virtue, worthy of
immitation Hence originated the prac
tice of eulogizing the dead.
Friends and Brethren: _
We are assembled on this anniversary
occasion not to celebrate^ the unparalled
achievements of some military chieftai •,
who has distinguished himself by the shed
ding of human blood; and in augmenting
human- misery; nor to laud the patriotism
distinguished for their sobriety and chasti
ty. They lived abstemiously, were very
conscientious, and chose seclusion from the
busy scenes of the world; but were dis
posed to cultivate peace, and to practice
charity towards all mankind.
As a sect, they were most rigidly moral
in their lives, and in this respect were
much superior to the other prevailing re-

them, to unite with others, in plans for tbe
relief of human misery?
Is it right for chnrch members to unite
with men of the world in accomplbhing
sonic political, party purpose, or in promot-
in" some personal pecuniary b“nefit; and
wrong for them to unite with others, in de-
vbing schemes for improving the public
morals, or in adminbtering substantial re
lief to those, who are in dbtressed circum
stances? ‘
I have not so learned the spirit of
Christianity—I had supposed it to be more
catholic in its views, more benevolent in its
feelings, and more philanthropic in its acts.
Christ himself, was busy in diffusing good;
He did not wait for ecclesiastical authority,
to direct him in hb benevolent plans—and
the Bible inculcates the imperitive duty
of doing good to all, as we have opportuni
ty: and it further adds, “he that kuoweth
do good, and doeth it not, to him, itb
sin.” .While masonry dbclaims tbe charge
of arrogating to herself all that is valuable
in spiritual religion, she does claim to be a
moral institution, and some theie are, who
object to it, on that account.
With more propriety, the Deciples of
our lord might have commenced a crusade
against John-the Baptist. He never pro
fessed to be the Christ, but only a messen
ger sent “to prepare the way before
lim.”
Like him inteligent, and genuine mason
ry has ever said, when interrogated upon
the subject, “I am not tbe Christ” (or spir
itual religion) but “I am the voico of one
crying prepare ye tbe way before him.
John, did not profess fully to elucidate
the plan of salvation but he preached the
doctrine of repentance, and reformation of
life. So masonry, like the fore-runner of
our Lord, inculcates the moral virtues; as
temperance, justice, brotherly love, and
charity—thus aiding in removing out
of tbe way some of tbe obstructions to the
spread of the gospel, and of the glorious
march of tbe Prince cf Peace.
But it stops not there—where John
stood, and pointed bb disciples to tbe
“Lamb of God, thattaketh away the sin off
tbe world”—masonry points her disciples,
to the volume of divine revelation, in which
dbplayed the glories of that Lamb, at
whom John pointed, and enjoins it upon
all of them, to study its truths, and obey
its precepts.
Masonry, so far from wbhing to super
sede! oppose, or to assume the place of spir
itual Teligion, would rather like John, ex
claim—“ye yourselves bear’me witness,
that I said, I an. not the Christ, but that I
am sent before him*” He that hat-h the Bride
is the Bridegroom; bet the friend of the
Bridegroom, which standeth and heareth
him, rejoices greatly, because ofthe Bride-
jroom’s voice; thb my joy therefore b ful
filled.” Like him masonry in the increas
ing prosperity of genuine religion—pf that
religion, which teaches us, “to visit the

True Christianity and genuine masonry
are equally opposed to ignorance and big-

My limits, and yogr patience, (already
perhSps neariv 'exfiausted,) will not allow
of » full refutation of all foe calumnies
ftequoutly heaped upon Masonry. I can
only, as a humble member of tbe craft,
bear mv personal testimony, to tbe truth of
the declaration, that fopr§ ?3 nothing in
Masonry from foe entered apprentice, up
to foe Royal and Select Masters degrees
incompatible witb any duty which wc owe
to God, to our country, or - to our
selves. J - '
As thb assembly ip graced with foe pro*.
*uce offfoauy laaies, who may foel disposed
to enquire, why they are debarred access to
tbe mysteries of the craft; it may not.be
inoportune for mo to answer this enquiry.
Masonry in its original organization, was
mostly opperative. None, but able-bodied
men, were employed a'sopperativcsupon the
Temple at Jerusalem whenand where the
fraternity- reccived'its preseit modus upper;
qu'dlj'
Modern, speculative Mason? have not
feJt themselves authorised to introduce iu-
innovations upon long established usages,
or to change ancient landmarks! Fema'e
influence, and female inteligence was not as
much appreciated in former days, as at tbe
present time ; it is not improbable there-
be widened for their special benefit. We
are prompted here to enquire, why are iu-
teligent females excludeed from offices of
honor, or profit in tbe civil, political, ffilb
tary and ccclelesbstipal world ?• Mfoy are
foe - considered ineligible, as Ministers
Plenopotentlary, or as members of Congress.
Why are not their acknowledged abilities
called into requisition in onr Hails of Leg
islation, or in our Civil Courts, in foe ?»’
parity Judges, Attorneys apd Jurors ?
ip'hen foese, and similar questions, aye
patisfariorUj answered, then we pledge onr-
seivos to offer aditmnal reasons for exclud
ing the fair from the ground floor of the
Masonic Edifice. Masonry b not however,
as exclusive, as many have supposed. There
are degrees, which may be, and often are,
conferred upeu females. It b true, tbat
focy ate P ot lijip gi#q, obbljged to pery? a

tax them with laborious parts of mssonry,
we delight in conferring upon them, some
of the ornamental degrees, which are better
adapted to their refined taste, and their ap
propriate sphere of action.
Thb privilege may be rightly claimed by
the wives, widows, sisters and daughters of
Master Masons. Upon them may be con
ferred the degrees of the Eastern Star, which
aie based upon certain female characters,
found in the Sacred Oracles, whose bbtory
strikingly illustrated many Masonic virtues.
There b not in tbo ceremonies of thb
Rite, a single point, witb which tbe moat
ascetic moralist could find fault. Oa th*
contrary, all b pare, all is beautiful ; it b
among the brightest jewels whieh
spangle the records of Masonry.
1 There are other degrees, which may be
conferred on females occupying tbe same
relationship to Royal Arch Masons-the
“Good Samaritan” b one, uhibh b both
interesting, impressive and useful.
It b assumed tbat female delicacy would
never penetrate beyond tbe veil, unless con
ducted by one, on whom they might rely
witn implicit confidence, as a guide, and
protection.
On whom could they thus repose so con
fidingly as upon a faithful husband, an affec
tionate father, or a beloved - brother ?
One who has made himself familiar with
tbe degree, and consequently is prepared
to impart all reqnbite information, and .to
remove eveiy rbing scruple.
Ladies believe me, when I declare.
“We’re true, and sincere
And just to foe fair,
They’ll trust us on any occasion;
No mortal can more
The Ladies adore,
Than a free, and accepted Mason.”
Brethren, we have not occupied your
time, on tbb occasion, in exhibiting the
evidences of the antiquity of Masonry; nei
ther have we attempted a complete refuta
tion of tbe many slanderous objections, fre
quently preferred, witb more zeal- than * in
tellect against the craft, nor have we alia’
ded to the tenets of the Fraternity, only
so far as they are necessarily associated in
tbe mind, with a contemplation of tbe char
acter of that dbtingnbhed individual,
whose birth’ we tbb day celebrate, and
whose character every Mason b taught to
revere.
The prominent tenets of Masonry are
tbe fundamental principles of sound Scrip
tural morality.
At our first initiation into tbe mysteries
of Masonry, three great and important du
ties were solemnly inculcated, viz : to God,
to our neighbor and to ourselves. We were
there taught to reverence, obey and adore
the great Author of Light, to adt ever up
on the square with our neighbor, and al
ways to deal with him, as we would have
him, in return, to deal with us; and to keep
ourselves free from all irregularities and
intemperance of any and every kind.
Thus foe foundation was laid in good
morals, or in foo cultivation of foe heart.
In passing from an entered apprentice
to foe seooni step in Masonry, we are
taught the necessity of uniting intellectual
and moral culture, and of disseminating the
light of useful kaowled-e. Masons have
always been emphatically the patrons of
education. They are often styled foo Sons
of Light.
Th§ materials having been thus previ
ously prepared at the quarry, the walls of
the Masonic edifice are ready 6)r raiVfifl--
foese must be cemented, together ly brotherly
love. Here, th&n, upon the third step in
Masonry, wc are taught to cultivate that
“charity which is the bpnfl qf parfcctnfits.”
Civil societies, based upon such princi
ples, must needs he peaceful, irJellectual and
happy. They teqd to reform tbe vicious
to ealigkic# die ignorant, and by the con
stant application of the Masomc cement of
brotherly love, sm-ofo foe asperities of V‘fe.
These principles productive of such results,
should be stuflied\y every Mason, dissemi
nated by every philanthropbt, and prac
ticed by every Christian.
Masons are esnccblly bound to regard
foe necessities, and to manifest fou spirit
of sympathetic: hsnevolenae towards foe
bereaved families of deceased brethren.—
This principle of Masonic charity, which b
dear to the heart of every genuine broth
er, b not a mere speculative tenet of our
osdir; but its practical utility b manifested
in the organization of the “Cheiokee Ma
sonic Life Insurance Company/’- Ti;ay fob
day hold their annual mtqting in tkb city,
and in Gfiariudfog foese * remarks, permit
mea humble member of thqt Company, to
present brieify its claims upon tbe atten
tion of tbo fraternity.
It b ompbatioaliy a corporation based
nponthe principle of niutualavl. • i Brotherly
lore, relief sod truth,” is the alpliabet of
Masinry. • There b nothing complicated in
its operations, but it is so plain and sin.p’,2
that a child can easily eojuptehcr.d it- As
brethren, rpj agree to pay a small sum (on
ly one cmntie) on the death of a brother
bolonglng to the Company, and fob sum is
immediately transmitted to the bereaved
fam : ly of the deceased.
The sum contributed by each q\wubcr,
though small, yet in the aggregate, may
amount to. a sum sufficient to alleviate tbe
sorrows of foo hoart-stricken widow, and
snpply the pressing wants of the fatherless
children. The larger tbe Company, the
greater tbe pecuniary relief thus afforded-
it b not a debt dur. to a Co.mpqny eugaged
in specnlaftc.q but it is emphatically tbat
inufuai aid, that relief, which as true Ma
sons, we sbould ever feel bound to render
to a brother of foo mystic tie. May every
Mason present, feel it to be his tojUi as
well as hb jdcasiiyj drj^y to contribute hb
mite toqrirq.. the aUevwtiou of foe sorrows
of a bereaved family. Who would not be
willing to deny self of some temporary in
dulgence for the privilege of drying nn the
widow’s tears, and for the luxury of aamin-
btcriug foo halm of' oousokitiou, to heal the
woos oihin afflicted family- QJi, w ho. would
forego foe privilege of thus communicating
Death b the common lot of humanity—
none can escape hb mortal dart*. Let im,
for a moment, anticipate hb approach, mad
consider bow we should feel at the sew
prospect ef leaving the “ dear ones ot home
dependent upon the cold charities of an ««-
feeling morUl Would fifty, or even nhun-
dretl dollars, be considered then too much to
be paid, to relieve the mind from tbe pain
ful anxiety ?
But we have here, iu the •Cherokee Ma
sonic Life Insurance Company" presented to
ns a cheap method of relief, by tbe aimple
payment, not of a hundred, nor even of fif
ty dollars. but only of one dollar, occasional
ly—that is, on the death of a brother, who
b associated with os in fob league, or cov
enant. wVile enjoying foe luxury of af
fording relief to others, we thereby secure
for our own families the same valuable
benefits.
While the mind b thus happily relieved
from the painful anxiety and corroding
care, we cau live upon, and enjoy whatever
we make, without the painful necessity of
investing aU our hard-earned profits in
property to secure for our families tbb de
sirable end. In these times of universal
desolat on, it b difficult to supply them
with present comforts, much more difficult
to lay by iu store for foe future wants; but
here b presented to us, a plan cheap, safe
and sure, for nuking that provision. The
sacrifice required b small—an occasional
assessment of one dollar. Masonic faith is
pledged for its support—it b sure— being
controlled by men of intelligence, of acknowl
edged integrity and moral worth
It is foe imperative duly of every man
whatever position he may occupy in society
toprovide sustenance for those dependent
upon him. Be it not forgotten that in tbe
‘.‘great light of Masonry,” it is declared that
“if any provide not for hb own, and espe
cially those of hb own house, be hath de

The testimony of that eminent Mason
and philosopher, Benjamin Franklin, who
was foe pioneer of life insurance in tbb
country is, “A policy of life irsurance is
tbe cheapest and safest mode of making
certain a provbioufor one’s family.”

of the ccars of tbe widow may be wiped

less be hushed.”
The widow's tear, tho orphan's cry;

As far as power b given;
The naked clothe, the prisoner free,
These are thy works, sweet charity!
Revealed to us from Heaven
The character and respectability of our
order depends not only upon a thorough
acquaintance with its forms, tenets and prin
ciples, but also upon their practical ehwida-
tum. Let me, then, beseech yon, beloved
brethren, rest not satisfied with an acqnain
tancc with foo oeremouies of Masonry, or
with an explanation of her numerous sym.
bob, but with care and dilligcnce cultivate
those virtues so beautifully typified by foe
numerous emblems employed by the craft.
While we habitually exerebe faith in foe
bountifol dispenser of all our blessings, and
patiently hope for a glorious immortality,
let us practice that charity whiah, like the
good Samaritan, goos forth to pour wine
and oil into foe wounds of the bereaved,
apd administer foe balm of consola'ioa to
the afflicted. Though despised by- many,
we may still enjoy the bliss of ab approv
ing conscience, and experience pare delight
in ameliorating foe condition, and in pro
moting the happiness of others.
Let Masons be happy whenever tbey meet;
And always each other most lovingly greet;
As we lovingly meet, so we lovingly part,
No Mason should ever bear malice at heart.
Let envy and"dbcord b* sunk in foe deep;
By those who are able our secrets to keep.
