Tlio first of the charges referred to, Is thnt “masonic associations are dangerous to republican governments, ’ * Nothing can be more untruo than this. I Monarchy Is a hereditary, Freemasonry I an electivo institution. In tho one the sovereign, claiming to rule by an inherited right divine, is regarded ns the fountain of all honor and power, in the other, the peoplo are acknowledged to be tho only source of control.

In reply to this, suflicc It to say thnt every mason la strict ly enjoined "to bo a peaceful and quiet citisen, (vue to /ns porcnimoit and just to his country; not'to couutcnnco disloyalty or rebellion, but patiently to submit to le gal authority, and conform with cheerful ness, to tho government of the country in which I10 lives.” The charge of Inciting to rebellion, Ac., is, therefore, as Aviso as that of “perverting the nation, and for bidding to give tribute to Crcsar,” which was brought against the founder of Chris tianity. Who docs not know thnt tho essential characteristic of Masonry, when not ncr- verted, Is charity, and that Brotherly tore, Bqlft f and Truth, are the corner stones of the Masonic Temple? Ilow then can that he a |iro-.,/ai«ry institution, which tenches its members to aid In tho erection of that universal and eternal temple, which will one day, enclose alt humanity within its pivelnots?” Th-» petitionem say that Freemasons are "hound by barbarous onths. j-epttgnaitt to law, human.divine.” This is another infamous Atlscbood.— The solemn obligations which masons vol untarily assume have been entered Into by some of thcoviscst and most virtuous umt) of all ages nner countries since the days of King Solomon. Would they havo bound thomselvcs by “barbarous and un lawful oaths?” Again, it is charged by tho petitioners thnt the youth of the country are taughtin masonic lodges "tho pernicious practices of conspiracy,” and that these institutions, withes D. Sllnglotr * Son, through the use of vague signs and sym bols, mslduously calculated todecuive “ha bituate the younu and innocent to tho ways of duplicity and demoralisation,” The allusion to tlio young niid innocent is easi ly disposed of as no ono not 0/ lawful tujc can he ntndo a mason. As to tho rest, wo havo the blest author ity for stating that a desire of knowledge and a sincere wish of being serviceable to his fellow creatures in thc M ‘opcn sesame" for every man to every masonic lodge on the face of tho globe, and if any evil thing bo discountenanced by Freemasonry, more than another, it is disloyalty, or conspira cy against, lawful government. J Its signs aud symbols, constitute a universal lan guage understood by all Masons. Truo, they are secret and Inevitable; This,how ever, Is a manifest necessity, for were it otherwise, how could ono mason know an other with whom ho was previously unac quainted, with certainty. The signs and symbols are only vague to tho uninitiated, hut to masons instructed in those duties towards God anti man which masonry in culcates, they are foil of meaning, truth and power. Wherevortho light of knowl edge hns dispelled tho mists of ignorance, or the torch of science revealed the hidden wonders of creation, or an alter been erect ed to the great Architect of tho Universe, tlicro masonry exerts its benign influence uniting men in nn adamantine hond of "brotherly lore." That snerurt tio which virtuous spirits bind. That golden chain wbioh llnkw Immortaluilmlft. “Vague signs and symbols" do thoy call them! “Honco,”—says a well informed masonio author—“many advantages are derived; tho distant Chhloso, the wild Arab, and the American snvngc, will em brace a Brother Briton, and know thnt, besides the common ties of humanity, thoro is still n stronger obligation to induce him to perform kind and friendly olllccs. In flnit, the sacred tenets of the order arc so entirely incompatible with impiety and immorality thnt nono but a truly good man can bo n good mason.

The Chicago Tribune snysi “Cleveland is proud of a citizen woman who has had seven husbands within eight years. One was killed iii the army and another ip a street light. Tho other live survive, she having been divorced from four of them. Her daughter bids fair to rival her moth er’s connubial exploits, having been al ready twice married and divorced, nnd is now ready to snap up a third man. though but in her seventeenth year.” These cit izen women should found a colony on the Brigoam Young plan—with the sexes re versed—nnd locate it midway between Chicago and Cleveland. A Valuable Invention, Tho Augusta Chronicle has been shown a railroad indicator which will prove a great convenience to tho traveling public. It consists of a dial of tho ordinary size of a clock, and is furnished with the move ments and the hands of a first rata time keeper. On the centre clrlc of the dial is placed the names of tho different States on tho road opposite to tho time marked on the dial for the arrival of the train at the several points. So that passengers can, by looking nt tho clock (which keeps tho correct railroad time), at aay hour of the day ascertain precisely whoro the train is. Hope Dcfcrrctl. A singular case is reported In ono of our exchanges. Forty years ago a bloom ing young girl of sixteon married an old mnn of sixty for Ills money, expecting that he would soon die nnd leave her n wenthy young widow. “Hope deferred mnkeB tho heart sick,” and last week tho lady died at tho respectable ago of fifty-six, leaving a husband aged one hundred, and four children to mourn her loss. Funinlo Lobbyist*. Speaking of female lobbyists, the Wash ington correspondent of tho Boston Her ald says: “They have advanced on tho Capitol of late in greater force than over, and have even commenced to lay seigo to members nnd Senators nt their boarding-house.— Tho other day I asked tho doorkeeper of the House, who Is opposite tho ladies’ re ception room, how many women had sent their cards in ono day to members, and he replied, ‘tlireo hundred nnd eleven!’ The notorious Sirs.

If things long ns thoy are at present going. 11 will toko quite a fat office to compensate a poor fellow for the misfortuno of being his rela tion. Gen. Butler says that the peoplo of tho South “must come into tho Union, if at all, with clean hands. ” But they can get no “hands” except negroes, and how urn der heaven are they to do kept cloan? A Mississippi paper inquires anxiously, “How are tho crops to be raised during tho coming season?” The negroes think that the best wa v to raise them is by a sys tem of “masterly inactivity.” More chances in tho cabinet are spokon of.

Instead of cleaning tho Augean stable, he sets up n rival establishment, . - , the birth of two daughters gave additional life to tho little household and the Baron rejoiced in his little garden, which lie too confidently imagined was froo from the trail of tho serpent. Coming home, however, ono night, very unexpect edly, ho found a young student In his room, and In an access of wild jealousy and rage, seized upon a sword, which was hanging against the wail of the chamber, and ran him through.

On one of tho many bridges In Ghent stand two largo brazen Images of Ihthor and son, who obtained this distinguished mark of the admiration of their fellow- citizens by tho following Incidents: Both tho ihthor and tho son wero, for some offense against tho State, condemned to die. Somo favorable circumstance ap pearing on tho sldo of tho son, ho was I {ranted a remission of his sentence, under certain provisions; in short ho was offered a pardon, on a most cruel and barbarous condition—namely, that he would becomo tho executioner of his fhthert He nt first resolutely refuted to preserve his ltfo by means so fatal and dotcstlblc. This fs not to be wondered at; for let us hope, for tho honor of our nature, thnt thoro aro very few sons who would not lmvo spum ed with abhorcnco life sustained on a con dition so horrid nnd unnatural. Tho son, though long inflexible, was at length over come by tho tears and entreaties of a fond Ihthor, who represented to him that, at all ovonts, his (tho father’s) life was forfeited, and that it would ba the greatest consola tion for him in his last moments to think thnt in Ills death ho was an Instrument of his son's preservation. Tho youth con sented to adopt the horrible means of ro- covering his life and liberty; he lifted tho nxo. but, ns It was about to 1UU, his arm sunk nerveless, nnd the axe dropped IVom his lmndt. Had he ns many lives as hnlrs, he would have yielded them all, One alter another, rather than again eonecivo, much less perpetrate, such nn act. Life, liberty, everything, vanished before tho dearer in terest of filial nficctlon; ha fell upon his father’s neck, embracing him, triumphant ly exclaiming, “My fhtherl my father! we die togethorl” and thentrnllca for another Hard'must their hearts indeed borehc- reft of every sentiment of virtue, ever’ sensation of humanity—who could stand insensible spectators of such n scene.

This friend, knowing that there was daughter of this Doctor mnrried in Balt more, determined, naturally, to apply to hor for information. Going to tho music shop to find her, he met her husband, nnd announced to him thnt ho had somo Im portant papers for Ills sister-in-law. But before ho got further on ids expla nation, tlio wife rushed from nn ndloinlnt room, told him that sho knew all npout-i, and that she would call and sec him next day at his houso. Ho bad hardly returned there, howevor. before sho followed him, entering breathless, without bonnet or shawl; eager to know what had happened. The papers wero handed over, and all ne cessity, she thought, for sccrcsy being re moved, the two girls were informed of tho facts of their birth and of thoir title to distinction. Sothoy immediately disclaim ed their reputed lather, and announced themselves as Baronesses; nnd the ono lit tle girl who was for a long time known ai a barefooted little saucy-box, who trotted about the streets earning pennies by her musical performances, and her elder sistor who has not always,boon so refined in her tastes, are suddenly become what the Ger mans call Hof-fahig; and are capable, in some parts of Germany, of being admitted into society into which many lending mer chants and rich bankers are not permitted to enter.—Baltimore Qedetle.
