Universe to the chosen people of God, ~, : ,rded in the seventh and eighth verses seventh chapter of the prophet has a peculiar meaning ty every Free ‘ I vccepted Mason, which cannot, under circumstances, he overestimated, for it ' ; j[„. ]•, iiiemhered that ALtsonrv owes its ori , to the Jewish nation, many of her wisest " j in. a. from Solomon, King of Isreal, V ..to the most distinguished Lsrealites of p , rrS ent century, having Loen eminently Known from their fidelity, Zealand attach ]U n t to the undying principles of our time jj )U ,)r .I organization. “Than said the Lord, j.

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!” ————— ► ♦ » -4- For the Journal ami Messenger. Masonic Life Insurance.

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.

They are now lo cated in their new, commodious and fire-proof warehouse on Fourth street, near the passenger shed, where their planting friends will find them through tlie coming season, ready to receive, store and sell cotton, and to extend to planters every accommodation and advantage which this market affords.

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 Sufficient. KAY'TON’S PILLS —Cures Sick Headache aDd all bilious disorders. 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. EXTRA SPECIAL XOTICE. Beware of Counterfeits > Smith's Tonic Syrup has been counterfeited, and (be counterfeiter brought to grief. SMITH’S TONIC SYRUP.
