A WORD TO FRIENDS AND ENEMIES.
From the Masonic Monthly.
One would hardly have supposed it pos
sible, that, enlightened as the public in
genera! are in regard to the fruits of the
masonic institution, theie could he found
any so blindly ignorant, or wilfully per
verse, to ridicule those who beloug to it.
There are persons who will point to a
man who has lately become a mason, and
say he is no better than be used to be. We
do not pretend to make a man better, ex
cept by example ; we give the candidate
the tools to work w ith, instruct him in
the use of them, and leave him to build
bis spiritual temple agreeably to the de
signs marked out for him ou the trestle
board.
We do not pretend to build his temple
for him ; ami if lie does not attend the
workshop where character is formed, how
can he learn to form it? By the Plumb
he is taught to walk uprightly in the sight
of God and man ; by the Square he is
taught that all his actions must be squared
by tiie square of virtue ; by the Gavel, that
from tlie rougli ashler which lie now re
sembles, lie must knock off all excresceuces
which the vices and superfluities of life
have caused to grow around his heart ; by
the Level he is taught that all men are
equal in the sight of God—the rich aud
fioor, high and low, are equally objects of
lis kind care and attention—for the time
will come when all distinctions shall cease,
and death, the common leveller, will re
duce us all to tiie same state.
Thus do we instruct him, and present
him with the working tools. And if he
expects to be made a mason by instruc
tions hou> to become one, without auy ex
ertions ou liis own part, he will be disap
pointed, and will be no better than he was
before lie entered the institution. And
those who think they knowsomuch about
the order are certainly objects of pity,
being eugaged in the criminal act of en
deavoring to throw ridicule upon an insti
tution which is the very handmaid of re
ligion. whose subjects they would have
the public believe they are.
The Apostle James has given a very
truthful picture of this class of men. He
says: If any man among you seem to
be religious, and oridleth not his tongue,
that man’s religion is vain.” He also
says : “ Pure religion and undefiled before
God the Father is this, to visit the father
less and widows in their affliction, and to
keep himself unspotted from the world.”
Had the Apostle James been initiated
into the masonic order, be could not have
given a more perfect exposition of free
masonry than lie lias in the above defini
tion of pure religion.
Masonry does not consist in forms and
ceremonies, in professions of belief, but iu
acts of kiudness to suffering humanity,
thus doing the will of our Father in Heav
en. Anil the true mason may be kiiovn
by his carrying out these principles, with
out making a profession of his belief, as
easily as tiie imposter can be distinguished
whose religion consists in profession, but
whose acts are totally at variance with
the commands of our Divine Master.
Masonry inculcates the beautiful lessons
of love to Goii anil good-will to man in
every step of its progress, by exhortation
and by symbols whicli are constantly
before the candidate, reminding him that
his love to cannot be sincere without
acts of kindness to his fellow-man.
And this is the institution these mis
guided and feeble men would destroy if in
their power. Home of them assert they
once belonged to the order, but became
disgusted with its wickedness and leit it.
If these individuals have, as they say
they have, ever been connected with the
order, they know tneir statements con
cerning it are false ; aud if they never
have been, the inference is plain.
The institution, however, needs no de
fender in any individual. It is its own
defence. Its Godlike principles will live
and flourish when the memory of its de~
famers rests in oblivion.
Who shall attempt to limit its influence
for the welfare of mankind? With its
Christian ethics, to liow many has it not
given Christian hearts ? and how many
thousand more may it not draw thus in
directly*to the aitar of the Christian’s
Haviour ?
The great and good Washington, in his
letter to the Grand Lodge of Massachu
setts, said : “My attachment to the society
of which we are members, will dispose
me always to contribute my best endeav
ors to promote the honor and interest of
the craft,” And again he says: “If ma
sonry never accomplished anything else
but the protection it throws around the
female relations of masons it is worth all
it costs.”
The Marquis de Lafayette said : “A
double halo of glory is thrown around the
heed of freemasonry —one by its friends,
tile great and good of all ages ; the other
by its enemies, great and small ”
How feeble aud insipid appear the re
marks of autichristiau aud antimasonic
scribblers, when weighed with such testi
mony as t his.
“Speed on, ye f.iittiful Brothers, speed,
Anil blessings with you go ;
Still aid the widow in her need,
And soothe the orphan's woe.
Still by the heart sick stranger’s side.
With words of kindness stay;
And bid the deep and troubled tide
Os sorrow puss away.
Ye generous band, long mar you stand,
The graybeard and the youth ;
Shoulder to shoulder, hand to hand,
In iiouor, Virtue, Truth.”
MASII.MI' CHARITY
Masonry is a charitable institution. .Not
in the sense that the society of odd fellows
is suid to he a charitable society. Odd
fellowship may he called the Methodism
of Frateruity, and few institutions, if any,
deserve better of mankind. The amount
of physical good that body accomplishes
is so immense as to surprise when its sta
tistics are presented. But freemasonry
could not adopt the system of odd fellow
ship. Freemasonry is, aud must he, of
necessity, spontaneous rather than syste
matic iu its workings. Odd Fellowship,
ou tiie other baud, by virtue of its consti
tution and origin in the needs of the
artisan cla-s in England, goes by rule, by
dock work as it were. The weekly sum
in lime of sickness, the stipend paid at the
death of a member or of a member’s wife,
goes out from the funds of the lodge to the
rich aud the poor alike ou the muster-roll,
as a matter of right and not of beneficence
or lodge liberality. There is there not ne
cessarily any feeling or sentiment. It is
simple insurance. But the good accom
plished is none the less real, aud the wide
diffusion of such good effects so produced
is the peculiar praise of that society.
With freemasoury, however, the case is
different. The foundation of masonry is
fraternity. The chief stone of the corner
is charity , brotherly love. VV bat we iu the
narrow sense ca l chirity, is, aud should
be, the natural aud spontaneous outflow of
masonic feeling. Should we meet with a
brother in distress, we hasten to relieve
him, by sharing with him of our abund
ance. Does his widow need the helping
and sustaining hand, masonry is present
with its ready services. Does his orphan
children need our watchful care, due and
trusty guardianship is never wanting.
But masonry is poor in statistics. Indi
vidual brethren know more about this
matter than organizations, and private
lodges do much more of this work tliau
Grand Lodges, and trumpet it not at I lie
street-corners, nor in annual reports. Still
whenjwe read of those magnificent orphan
schools and other institutions maintained
out of the general fund of the odd fellows
of the United States, we cannot but wish
that in masonry there was much more of
what we have called the methodum of fra
ternity.
Not, in rearing magnificent pilesof stone,
misnamed temples; not in furnishing lux
urious Hulls; not in wearing glittering
and expensive paraphernalia; not in the
laying on of tinsel and gimcracks, is the
mission of masonry to be performed, but
in tending the sick, in relieving the dis
tressed, iu seeking to render light the bur
dens of the heavily laden, in soothing the
feelings of wounded hearts, iu helpingand
aiding and comforting each oilier in life
in all the innumerable ways iu which help
and aid aud comfort may be needed rr ex
tended. This Is masonry. And when
this idea finds deeper root among us, the
results of our professions will be more
practical than they have been; and big
temples will be sold off* to discharge debts,
and none others built ; aud lodges will
content themselves with less gorgeous
apartments, and Grand Lodges will not
foolishly squander aud dissipate the ac
cumulated funds of their subordinates;
but in the place of all tills, true masonic
temples will arise, aud in neat suburban
villages travelers over our land will take
pride iu pointing out those noblest of
monuments to masonic charity— masonic
orphan schools and asylums, and homes
foraged, iufirm, aud distressed members
of the fraternity.
The Odd Fellows’ Festival.
Fifty years ago, yesterday, in au obscure room
ill the citv of Baltimore, at the suggestion of
Thomas Wildey, a young Englishman, four others
met with him and organized the first lodge of Odd
Fellows that ever existed in this country. They
were all members of what was and is still
known as the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows,
an English organization,but as Wildey and his friends
had no charter from that order, they organized
a uew society and called it the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows. A few years ago, the venerable
founder of this new organization died in the city
of Baltimore, full of years and honors, having at
tended every meeting of tiie Grand Lodge of the
United Slates, from the date of its organization to
the last which met prior to his death, but he lived
to see the feeble handful with which he began
swelled into a mighty host of more than 300,(100,
with ils Lodges and Graud Lodges in every State
of the Union, and in Canada, iu the Saudwieh
Islands and in Austria.
Yesterday the Semi-Centenial Anniversary of the
Order was celebrated with becoming houors all
over the land. Iu Philadelphia it was expected
that nearly 50,000 Odd Fellows would join in the
procession, aud that the demonstration would be
ihe grandest ever witnessed ou this Continent As
Macon is the scat.of the Grand Lodge of Geor,
gia, it was right and proper that the great anniver
sary of the Order should be properly celebrated,
and we are glad to be able to say that tiie demon
stration here was a perfect success. In the morn
ing at 9 o’clock, the members of the two Lodges,
and of Macon Union Encampment, with a number
of visiting brethren, met at Odd Fellows’ Hall,
where at ten o’clock the procession was formed.
Bast Grand Secretary George it Barker, of United
Brothers, and Past Grand C. J. Stroberg, of Frank
lin Lodge, acting as Marshals. The procession
parsed from the Hall down Mulberry to Third
street, and up third to Ralston’s Hall, where the
following order of exercises was gone through
with, P. G. .\l.,and P. G. Kep., J. G. Deitz, acting
as Master of Ceremonies :
Overture by the Band.
Readingof tiie Proclamation of the Grand Sire—By
Bro. B. St. P. Uuerardie, of Franklin Lodge.
Prayer by the Chaplain—Rev. J. W. Burke, Past
Grand Master.
Anniversary Ode—“ Fifty Years.” —Tune: “Green
ville.”
i.
Fifty years, both bless’d and blessing,
Stands the Order in our land ;
Twig and tree and flowing branches,
Planted by our Wildey’s hand.
Sailing safe—our land, her ocean—
Our good ship is on the wave;
Freighted with her gifts of mercy,
Free to flud aud quick to save.
li.
Fifty years of joys aud sorrows,
Many fallen by the way ;
Wildey, Hersey, Hopkins, Boylston,
Now beneath the cassia lay.
Forget them not, early pilgrims,
For their deeds of love were seen ;
Engrave euch name ou mem'ry’s tablet,
Weave for them the evergreen.
ill.
Fifty years again preserve them.
Is the widow's nightly prayer;
Orphan children smile in plenty,
God has blest our labors there.
Ruler of the great Creation.
Master of tiie Lodge ou High,
Guard us from self-immolation.
Keep us ’neath Thy watchful Eye.
IV.
Fifty years in full regalin,
Proud our owu lov'd land we trod,
Panoplied for work and duty.
Bowed we meekly to the rod.
On our Flag the three links strengthen
All our Order in the land ;
Three cheers for our glorious Union,
Firmly may we ever stuud.
After tiie singing of this ode by the brethren and
others, Brother D. B. Woodruff, of United Broth
el’s’ Lodge, on behalf of the Daughters of Kebekah,
presented a beautiful flag to the members of the
Order in Macon. The flag was received by P. G.
M. R. Rogers, ot Franklin Lodge. Both gentle
men made neat and appropriate speeches.
P. G. Representative Deitz then presented the
orator of the day—Past Graud U. L. Woodruff, of
United Brothers’ Lodge.
It is not our purpose to speak at length of this
effort of tSro. Woodruff' Suffice it to sav, that his
speech of about one hour’s duration was one of the
best, if not the very best speech we ever heard ou a
similar occasion. It was eloquent, argumentative,
logical, and to the point The Odd Fellows of
Macon need never be at a loss for a speaker when
they have so good a one in their own midst
The closing ode was then sung by the brethren :
CLOSING HYMN. TUNE—“AMERICA.”
I.
Odd Fellowship ! of thee,
Mighty fraternity,
Ot thee we sing !
Loud let our voices raise,
Os thee, iu songs of praise,
Ou this, the best of days
* The year can bring !
il.
Honor and Truth are found—
Frendship and Love übouud
In every breast;
Blessings thou dost bestow,
Soothed is the widow’s woe,
Orphans tby care well know :
All hearts are blest.
ill.
Here we renew our vow,
And evermore, as now,
We live for thee!
Spread thou on every hand,
Leave wrong no place to stand,
Then men in every land
Stall brothers he.
iv.
Almighty God ! to Thee
All praise and honor be
For this great band !
Thou hast most graciously
Blessed our fraternity,
Aud may we ever be
Kept by thy band !
A benediction having been pronounced by the
Chaplain, the procession then returned to the Odd
Fellows' Hall, where the flag of the order was
raised aud allowed to kiss the breeze. The Hag—a
very beautiful one—was adopted at the last meet
ing us theGraud Lodge of the United States, for
universal use. It is a white ground, with the three
links iu crimson in the ce'ntre, surmounted by the
letters “I. O. O. F.,” and the single word “GEOR
GIA” underneath.
At 7% o’clock p. m., the members with their
families assemble 1 in the ante room of the Lodge.
A Lodge of the Daughters of Rebekah was organ
ized in the Lodge room, and that degree conferred
on quite a number of Scarlet members and their
wives. At a later hour an elegant supper was set
in an adjoining room, to which all hands did ample
justice.
Altogether, yesterday was a great day for Odd
Fellowship in Macon, and we have rea-on to hope
and believe that the demon-tration made will at
tract attention to this most excellent Order, which
cannot be too highly commended for what it has
doueand is still doing in our mid t.
Iu yiemuriam.
The martyred dead who sleep in our beautiful
cemetery, were well remembered yesterday by tiie
true men and women of Macon. Upon their
graves, hallowed by so mauy tears, and the object
of the tender solicitude of so many noble hearts,
woman’s fair lingers wrote, with the alphabet of
flowers, the record of her devotion and their de
serving. A wealth of garlands aud crosses, rich
and rare, crowned each honored mound, and upon
the evening breeze that sighed with such sweit
pathos through the sentinel trees, was wafted the
aspirations of the mouruiug throng for the eterual
repose of the souls of the dead.
The ceremonies were simple, yet very impres
sive. There were no speeches—no cut and dried
formulas to be gone through with by rule and
measure. Men, women and children, came laden
with flowers, which acre placed upon the graves
silently and with reverence, until the whole space
was a parterre of fragrant loveliness, and then all
walked about or sat down, as they listed, und the
ceremony was over.
There was no apparent diminution in the inter
est felt—as we were inexpressibly gratified to see.
There have been so many and such insidious efforts,
of late, to drive from the hearts and memories oi
our people all recollection aud respect for the
past, that we have sometimes feared the result.
Our doubts, however, have all been dispelled,
and we feel that the Southern heart is still true.
We trust and believe it will always be so. As loug as
memory is spared to auy man, woman, or child in
all this broad South, so long ought they to treasure
the memory and honor the dust of those who died
In the South’s defence.
Let the Twenty Sixth of April take its place in
the calendar of the South’s couseerated days, to be
welcomed and observed as an epoch which, while
it will forever mark our defeat upon the battlefield,
has also canonized it in our hearts as an occasion
for the pouring out of the rich libatioua of a peo
ple's love and reverence.

Washington, April 23 —Sprague's words which
offended Abbot, were as follows :
Mr. President —“In unswtrto tiie tirade of the
Senator from Nevada, and the Senator from North
i arolina, I am reminded of a little illustration: In
my travels from the centre hereto the rural dis
tricts, through the woods and farms of the sur
rounding neighborhood, chance, at one time,
brought me to a farmhouse. I discovered, on look
ing up, a large mastiff and a mongrel puppy dog.
The little dog moved on me with rapidity from be
hind, bit at my heels, and, frightened at his temeri
ty, ran frightened and howling away, followed by
bis larger companion. The Senate will observe
that the mongrel, whining puppy, encouraged by
the mastiff and emboldeue l to make the attack
from the shadow of his backer, ran rapidly away,
alarmed at his temerity, whilst the overgrown cur
followed after, with ears lopped and tail between
bis legs, to a place of safety beside his menaced
companion.”
During yesterday evening, Abbot threatened to
horsew hip Sprague unless he retracted.
In the Senate, last night, Abbot said :
“When I arose in Executive session, to ask that
the doors be opened, some time ago, I said that I
did not intend to utter any thing unbecoming ou
this floor. What I did intend to do was to ask the
Senator from Rhode Island if he intended to apply
the term “Puppy” to me, as is implied in the con
nection of that language. If he did intend to ap
ply it to me, my purpose was to a.-k him for a re
traction as full as the implication of the language,
and if he refused that retraction, rnv intention was
to a»k for satisfaction out of this chamber. I now,
sir, give notice, inasmuch us that Senator has
skulked out of this chamber, that I intend to have
satisfaction outside ot tbia chamber.” *
Sumner called Abbot to order, who, after'much
confusion, was allowed to say, in explanation : “I
will state that 1 am not a duelist. I was not edu
cated a duelist, and I did not mean that sort of
thing; but I meant that the Senator from Rhode
Island must make a retraction as broad as the
assertion, (’order”) and that I shall have that sat
isfaction outside of this chamber, iu some way.”
'the Senate rejected two of the twelve Quakers
whom the President nominated as Indian Agents.

so combined -with other substances of still
greater alterative power as to afford an effec
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla ia
reputed to cure. It' is believed that such a
remedy is wanted by those who suffer from
Strumous complaint*, and that one which will !
accomplish their cure must prove of immense i
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow- !
citizens. How complete l }’ this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
complaints:
ScIIOFULA AVO ScUOFt’I.OIS CoMFI.AIKTS,
r.ULTTIOSS AM) litIL'FTIVK DISEASES, UI.Cr.US,
I'IKTI.r.S, HI.OTCIIKS, TI'MOUN, Su.T ItllClM,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Ai
fections, Mebci’hiai. Disease, Dropsy, Klc
nai.oi a on Tic Douloureux, Dehility, Dys
pepsia and Indigestion, Eursircui, Hose
on Sr. Anthony’s Fike, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity of
the Blood. —)
This coni(>ound will be found a great pro- ■
motor. of health, when taken in the spring, to 1
expel it the foul humors which footer in the I
blood at that season of the year. Jlv*]-"* j
lv expulsion at t».«••». *.-»•!>■ rankling disorders
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can. by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you lind it is ob- ;
strutted and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you w hen. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
bio 1 healthy, and all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lusting health. Sooner or later something
mn it go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla lias, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends. Hut
the world lias l> -ii egregious!y deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not till the virtue that is claimed
for it, hut more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain hut little of the virtue of Sursaparilla,
or any thing else.
' During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Savsiqiariliu for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. II nee, bitter and painful disappointment
lias followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which Hood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous w ith imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. Ami we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure, lu order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

Fever, whether of short or long s anding. He re'eia
to the entire Western and Si utbwestern country to

in nocasewha'ever will it fail to cure, if tbedircclions

Dr. Jubo Bull—Deal Sir—l have recently given
tout Worm Destroyer several trials, and find It won
derfully efficacious, it ha& not failed in a Bingle

pretty large country practice, aod have daily use for
some article ol the kind. I am free to confess that 1
know of do remedy recommeudtd b? the ableet
authors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On
tbe contrary they are uncertain in the ex feme. Mr
object in wr.tirgyou is to find out upon what terms 1
can get the medicine directly from you. If I can get
it upon easy terms, 1 sbail use a great deal of it. I
am aware that tbe use of such articles is contiary to
the teachings and practice of a great majority of the
regular line ot M. D.’s, butl see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which we krow tube
efficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its
combination For my part I shall make it a rule to
use all and any means to a) eriate suffering humar ity
which I maybe able to command; not hesitating
because so-i.e one m re ingenious than myself may
have learned its effects first, snd secuied the role right
to accuse that knowledge. However, 1 tm by no
