].; v , rv well informed Mason who lias Wi
p ,; v studied the sublime ntnal of our in
stitution as handed down from one Masonic
1 kxlv to another, cannot hnt observe how
ri.udlv this promise has been kept. The Su
preme Grand Master of us all, whom ns
Masons we all revere and venerate, has ever
gaarded the craft from peril and stood by us
in our darkest hours. Kings and Emperors
have time and again placed the fraternity
under ban, and prohibited, under penalty of
death, the existence of subordinate Ixidges in
their respective dominions. The loud thun
der of the Vuticau have been heard against
it. The Holy Inquisition at Rome and at
Madrid have sought in vain to crush it.
I’ious, God-fearing Masons have been de
nounced by the churches in which they
sought to worship the one ever living and
true God, and even threatened by excommu
nication unless they repudiated our princi
ples and disavowed their membership, yet,
dexpitc all opposition, the word of Jehovah
never yet has been known to fail, for in every
well governed Lodge this golden promise has
be u kept: "l trill not itguiu /not# hy them any
more.
Speculative Masons, who meet at regular
intervals to practice the duties of Charity
mid benevolence, should never lose sight of
th fact that each individual brother is a
recognized portion of the grand fabric of
Masonry, and that his daily life and con
versation, no matter what his position in
life may be, is either calculated to sited a
brighter lustre upon the Craft orbring it in
to positive contempt. The profane, who
have never seen the royal light of Masonry,
cannot judge the character of the institu
tion, except through the reputation of its
members, and where this test is applied, the
opinion thus formed, either advances the in
terests of the Lodge or injures its ertectiye
licss materially.
Without revealing any of the mysteries of
the craft, we state definitely what is meant
by the expressive sentence which heads this
nrtiile : ‘'IJV- in ill r by the Plumb." It is to
worship <>ur great Creator, Benefactor and
Preserver, with our whole heart, and mind,
and strength; to love our neighbors (more
. specially those who are bound to us by the
sweet ties of fraternity and brotherly Jove,)
j,, (Uir.udvert; and to follow implicitly that
golden ruix v-l.'ieh teaches us to “do toothers
;i , we would have others do unto us.” Any
thing short of tills, pit;inot convey to our
minds a correct idea of t)»e genuine prin
ciples Masonry.
It will be remembered that every Mason,
in every part of the habitable globe, is re*
eeived into fellowship with the fraternity by
solemn prayer, in which all around him
earnestly join. It is no idle form—no care
less ceremony, but an act which not only ac
knowledges fealty and devotion to the Su
preme Grand Master, but invokes His
blessing on all brethren there assembled, and
pruvs its continuance on the neophyte,
who. bowing before the majesty of Jehovah,
seeks to become ft true anil faithful brother
among us, extend our principles of charity
And benevolence, and gain, as life advances,
nn enviable reputation among bin fellow-men
for tin practice of every commendable virtue,
lb 11 1 is solemn and impressive act of ac
knowledgement as men and Masons, we
walk by the plural*, remembering our great
and important duties toward God, from
whose humls alone we may expue-t every
earthly blessing.
Ami while we are prompt to acknowledge
tin* obligations wu owe to our great Creator,
vi 1 should 1.0 equally prompt in the parfurm
iince of those responsible duties we owe to
our follow men—more particularly to the
household of the faithful; for they are of
;Ti at iiuportanee to all, and none of us know
how soon wc* may need the same kind offices,
in every business transaction—in all money
allairs in our daily speech and conver
sation, we should always endeavor to
walk bv the plumb. It is readily con
ceded that * ■perfection on earth lias never
been attained; the wisest as well as the best
of men have erred,” yet it is no leas the
boundeti duty of even’ member of the Craft
to watch his own conduct day by day, to do
as near right as possible, or in brief, to walk
by the plumb, with his God, his neighbor,
and himself, endeavoring day by day to win
for himself the reputation of being a just
and upright .Mason, worthy thu confidence
of all.
Well would it be foe every member of our
ancient brotherhood, if this rule was rigidly
adhered to regardless of consequences. In
all matters of religion, of polities, or the
thousand every day a flail’s of life, if every
human being would walk by the plumb, the
world itself would ho transformed into an
abode of perfect happiness. If a man enters
upon auv undertaking whatever, it is bis
bourulen duty to look upon the subject in all
its bearings, to view it in every conceivable
ii ilit, undid ask himself the question whether
it is honest just aud right, before God and
hjs fellow men not whether it is popular or
whether it is expedient —for we are all more
or les> governed by hellish considerations,hut
whether it will stand the test of the plumb
lino properly applied. Once perfectly satis
lied that it will stand this test, he need not
ii ar to proceed; the blessing of Jeliovali will
follow him. and the approbation of his own
conscience will justify the decision he has
made.
It is worse than an act of folly—it is abso
lutely criminal for any memlter of tire craft
to imagine that the beautiful tenets of Ma
sonry are only to l»c practiced in the Lodge
room where they are taught. Like the
sublime principles of religion, they are
equally adapt i'd to the most trivial as well as
the momentous allairs of life. The practiced
mariner looks upon the straw that floats
upon the bosom of the broad ocean, or the
light fleecy cloud. “.scarcely bigger than a
man’s hand." which floats in the horizon,
sunl as they decide his course of notion in
stantaneously. so does some trifling word or
act by one of the brotherhood, hardly
thought of at the time as worthy of being
remembered, leave an impression upon oth
ers that years perhaps fail to efface. These
facts should always be kept in view; for ii is
n >t by mere numerical strength that Masonry
claims to exert an influence in the world
t> < t ml » nly to religion; it is bv the inisul
lied reputation of her individual mem
ber, many of whom, by the daily practice
of our sublime principles have shed a bril
liant halo over the institution that Time
m ver can destroy. To preserve the character
of Masonry unsullied is eurbonndeu duty, as
an act of simple justice toward ourselves and
to our brethren wheresoever dispersed. This
can only be done effectually by those who
cau truthfully assert: “We walk by the
Plumb!”

Masonic Life Insurance.
The following extract on the subject of
Masonic life In-mr-unoo, is from the Annual
Add ires erf M*. • \\ ’. • 8. C. Coffiuburg, Grand
Muster of Michigan.
“Os a membership of our Order of 1.172,-

The rate is higher in the Southern than the
Northern States. The highest in the twenty

the whole State, was one in llfj. Should

ship to establish a correct popular average
the average would he less than one 'death to

doling men have objected to this system
of insurance, for the reason that it does not
discriminate in its rates between the aged
and the youthful.
“It will be remembered that the bills of
rnnrtality show a greater decrease between
the ages of ‘25 and 50 than between 50 aud
io. owing to the comfortable homes, the
Tegular habits, the limited travels, the pro
tecting domestic solicitude and fostering
family care for the aged; the active business
habits of tug young, the extensive travels
which business requires, the dangers of sfc

The Eclipse.
REPORT OF COMMODORE SANDS OF THE UNITED

Washington, August 9.—Coni. Sands,
who has charge of the naval ol>servatory, Ims
submitted the following to the Secretary of
the Navy:
U. S. Naval Observatory, )
Washington, 1). C., Aug. 9, IKtZI. (
Sir: I hiivt; the honor to report that I
hove recoived a telegniphie dispatch from
our observers of the eclipse at Desmoines,
lowa. Prof. Harkuess reports as follows:
“We have succeeded beyond our most san
guine expectations. We have 123 photo
graphs of the eclipse, two being of totality;
also a spectra of five prominences—no two
of them giving the same lin -s. Could see no
absorption lines in the spectrum of the
corona; it gave a continuous spectrum with
one bright line on it.” Prof. Eastman’s ob
servations were also most successful. Prof.
Newcomb reports that no ultra mercurial
planets were visible. Air. F. W. Heyward left
hero on Friday morning, and arrived at
Bristol, Tennessee, in rmple time for the
eclipse. His special objects of attention
were the duration of totality and the ultra
mercurial planets. The circumstances at
tending his observations were, extremely fa
vorable. Mercury, Venus and Regains wen*
visible to the naked eye, but no ultra mercu
rial planet was seen. He has numerous
notes of the phenomenon, from which u full
report will be made at this observatory. The
sun was partially obscured by clouds, and,
owing to the use of a higher power than the
observer was aecustoiuod to, he failed to get
a first aipl last contact. His other observa
tions were entirely successful. I will have the
honor to submit a more detailed report upon
the return of the officers sent out from the
olmervatory. Very respectfully, your obe
dient servant, J}. P, tjANijs,

The Chinese are reputed to be tho most
intolerably polite people in the world. They
carry that self-suppression, which is the es

they speak of themselves or their belong

Now, we don’t propose to recommend this

it in future, as it has in the past, be always

If one of the guests at this banquet of

actual butter from the table and clapped it,
after the Abyssvniau fashion, on the top of
the President’s Lend, vyo doubt whether Mr.
Grant’s patience under donations wouhj ljave
enabled him to keep his temper. But this
pat of moral butter was Hung in his face with

only desire was peace and amity, and he would do
anything that was right to bring that about, but
that these people cast suspicious upon their own
motives by tlie fact that all their efforts seem to be
aimed at dividing, not aiding tlie Republican party

In Germany they treat a patient with liver
disease regularly, as though lie was violently ill,
for six months, he is then turned over to the cook
with a digestion that Is perfect. In this country,
how many suffer from year to year, taking a little
blue pill to poison tlie system now aud then, but
going on paying no attention to the disease, until
they don't know what it is to be well, becomings
burden to themselves and a trouble to all around
them. Take Simmons’ Liver Regulator regularly,

Read these Lines and Ponder them Well.—
The best tests of the merits of any proprietary ar
ticle is to ascertain what is thought of it at home
where it is manufactured. Such a test Lippman’s
Pyrafuge can well stand, as to-day it is deoidediy
the favuritc remedy for chills ands ver, dumb
ague and other diseases of a malarious Origin, iu
the city of Savannah, where it is prepared. The
principal druggists of the city would as much thiuk
of doing without castor oil in their stores as to be
without thits popular (and deservedly so) remedy.
It is a vegetable preparation free from deleterious
drugs, and acts like a tonic upon the entire system,
thereby invigorating the system so in uedi sons to
enable it to throw oil' disease. Pyrufuge does not
nauseate or sieken the patient, and can he taken
by the most delicate persons without fear. It
should always be at band, as chills and fever creep
upon us so stealthily that wc are not aware of its
approach until it Is upon us. A word to the wise is

KAY'TON’S PILLS —Cures Sick Headache aDd

US DISCUSS THE GREAT C2UE3-
TlON.—What is the most important of all earth
ly blessings, in the estimation of every intelligent
human being?
Clearly, it is Health ; for soundness of body and
mind is essential to the enjoyment of all the other
good gifts of Providence.
How, then, shall those who possess this inesti
mable treasure endeavor to preserve it, and how
shall those who have lost it seek to retrieve it ?
These questions have been asked in all ages, but
never have they been as satisfactorily responded to
as at the present day, and the answers which com
mon seuse, enlightened by science and experience,
gives to them in the Nineteenth Century may he
briefly stated thus ;
To protect the system against all influences that
tend to generate disease, there is nettling like in
vigoration.
To re-establish the health on a linn basis, when
It has been lost by imprudence or any other cause,
the system must be simultaneously strengthened,
regulated and purified.
These ends can only be attained through the
agency of a preparation which combines the attri
butes of a Tonic, a Corrective, a Blood Dcpnreat,
and an Aperient.
All these essentials are effectually blended in
HOSTETTER’B STOMACH BITTERS. They con
tain nothing drastic, irritating or inflammatory.
The juices aud extracts of sanative her is, roots
and barks are their sole medicinal ingredients, and
these are rendered diffusible by combination with
the spirituous essence of rye, the purest of all al
coholic stimnlants.
The weak and feeble, and especially those suf
feriug from biliousness, indigest lion aud nervous
ness, absolutely require the renovating aid of this
powerful tonic and alterative during the heated
term, aud cannot prudently postpone its use fora
Ingle day. A word to the wise Is sufficient.
