Masons are not free, in the sense in which

tively bound by absolute laws; they are the
slaves of truth and of their word. Unqualified
obedience is their duty. The profane are free;
the Masou is not.
The origin of oar name shows this. Our

ham first beheld the stars glitter on the plains
of Shinar. It is from the language of ancient
Egypt. That wonderful laud where all auti-
deluvian science and art was preserved and
extended; where a system of priestlj and
kingly government was carried out, which has
ever been the wonder of the world. That land
where men of scieuce, pr^snized into a close

merce over battalions wbeu he made tho
remark at St Helena that he had been “sub
dued. not so much by English arms as by
English spindles.” In regard to a National
Bank, instead of spinning out a long essay, he
said: “It is necessary to enable the people
at all times to obtain money at moderate rates
of interest.”
Governor Hoffman suggests that the Federal
Constitution be so amended as to previde for
the election of United States Senators by the
people instead of the State Legislatures. That
amendment and the one term principle might
be waxed together, and thus two birds hit
with one stone.
The Maryland Legislature, which met in
Annapolis yesterday in biennial session, will,
on January 16, elect a successor to Senator
Vickers, whose term expires in March, 1873.
Tbo Governor elect, Pinkney White, will be
installed next Wednesday. An effort will be
made to repeal the law compelling a Senator
from the eastern aud western shores, in order
to make certain favored gentlemen elligible
for the placo.
George Alfred Townsend, in a late letter
says of tho Democracy: “The Democratic
party is showing how perfectly dead it is by
the difficulty of making anything ont of its
ruins. I have seen about a dozen Democratic
members of Congress here, and they all look
upon any new party affiliation with that sort
of apprehension that an old poor house va
grant does when you begin to suggest any new
opinion of pauper reform. Many of these
Democrats fear to break up their grog caucus-
ses at home, of which they now pull the
strings by a sort of automatic genius, while
any change might result in their replacement
by better men under the now coalition. This
makes them all stand off.”
And here we see where we get the observance
of the two days of St. John’s. The Egyp
tians, the Chaldeans, and all the aucient
philosophers, Pythagoras especially, observed
as sacred those two days iu the year on which
tho sun shone for the longest and shortest
time upon the earth. They were the 21st of
Jane and tho 21st of December. Iu the dark
ages, as the festivals of St Johns occurred
near these days, aud were generally observed
by the mass of men, they came to take the
place of the other two, in the observance of
the craft. And thus it was gradually that
they wero considered patrons of the craft, and
that Lodges, formerly dedicated to King Solo
mon, came to be dedicated to them.
And afterwards the two parallel lines were
made to refer to them; although originally
they referred to Moses and Solomon.
In the lapse of time, and daring the pro
gress ai an order whose ritual cannot be writ
ten, errors have crept into our working,
think that most of them are due to the herd
of Masonic lecturers, who have generally
combined zeal and ignorance in equal propor
tions.
I may have spoken sharply in this article,
but not unkindly. I feel a great respect for
Comp. D., for his zeal, knowledge, and Indus
try; but I think him wrong, and I have said
so. If I have hart his feelings, I ask his par
don; but his often expressed opinions have
certainly outraged mine. Carry out his views,
and you destroy all Masonic reverence for law.
In such a quarrel, I would strike my own
father.
Let thee* ba peace between us. Comp.
Drummond, and, if possible, agreement
Again I say that I hare no objection to a so
ciety for mutual admiration or debate, and
still less to a meeting for consultation in
regard to work. I will meet Comp. D. half
way, and if the G. G. C. will only lay aside its
arrogant and absurd title aud call itself what
it really should be, a general committee of
of conference on chapter work, I will urge the
G. C. of Virginia, to send up a stout, able
bodied delegate, of strong lungs and capacious
stomach, to take part in its deliberations, pro
vided that nothing he may eat, drink, hear, oi
say shall bo consider of binding force on the
G. C. of Virginia.
TLe Due Gnanl.
There is a symbolical due guard in Masonry
the benefits of which belong to the Craft.
Every Mason must know how, where, and
when it is lawful to observe it. But wheu he
places himself as a citizen in society, there is
a due guard attached to our fraternal institu
tion in the watch that every member is in duty
bound to set over himself. He is to be to
himself, if he understands the precepts of
Masonry, prudent, circumspect, and should
be governed by the principle of love. And to
keep duly guarded, it becomes absolutely nec
essar^to prudently observe the meaning of all
ha says; take strict cognizance of what he
does—how it will affect others and himself.
A careful and cautious due guard over all of
his meditations, the chain of thoughts into
which the mind may run, should constantly
remind us, as Masons, of all our obligations;
to those which pertain to humanity, univer
sal, and more especially to our worthy broth
erhood.
The due guard of Masonry, binds us with
a cord that cannot be broken. We are to keep
in sacred remembrance the fearful penalties
of the wear and tear of conscience; to keep
in mind the knowledge of broken vows and
violated trust. We are not only to hold invi
olate what Masons has entrusted to our care,
but that which our worthy brother confidently
places in our keeping. Every Mason obli
gates himself to present a true life, and his
whole aim should be to fulfill such n life.
This constitutes the symbolical interpretation
of a due guard. And whenever a brother, as
he mingles among the profanes and becomes
reckless in relation to his own reputation,
prodigal in his habits of life, forgetful of the
principles taught, we readily discover that he
is^ neglecting the due guard of Masonry.—

died at 10:45 a. m., at the Grand Central Ho-
tel, in the presence of his wile, his father iu-
Jaw, Mr. Morse, Jay Gould, aud a large num
ber of intimate friends.
There was a change in tho syptoms at C a #
u., aud at 7 it was evident that death was ap
proaching, and he commenced rapidly to de
cline. His agony was mitigated by injections
t>f morphine, and he retained partial con
sciousness until 10 o’clock, when he re
cognized his friends, und thanked several
visitors.
Stokes’ weapon was a four barreled Colt s
revolver, carrying a rifle ball.
At midnight Fisk s&id he thought ho would
get over it
S;okes and his attorney had talked about
the suit, and the attorney assured Stoke3 they
had broken down the case, and it would, be
dismissed. Stokes said, in an excited tone,
•' Is there no way to beat this man. ” Stokes
(hen went to Miss Mansfield’s, thence to the
icene of the tragedy.
At midnight Fisk slept tranquilly. The
Joctors considered his sympton3 favorable.
The ball has been found but not extracted.
Fisk gave a lucid account of the event to
the jury.
«^Mtss Mansfield, who visited Stokes in jail,
told the reporter that he (Ned Stokes) must
have been crazy.
Fisk died at 11 o’clock this morning. The
employees of the Erie Railroad, of all grades,
have crowded the corridors since morning.
Jay Gould was in constant attendance.
While Fisk lived Gould’s face wore its usual
calm expression, but when Fisk expired his
forttitude gave way. Gould’s grief found vent
in tears. No unkind word was heard of the
dead from the vast crowd; but many tongues
recounted his acts of kindness.

mother $3,000 a year; to his sister-in-law*
$2,000 a year each; to the Ninth Regiment
$11,000. His wife gets the balance.
To Jay Gould, for whom he entertained the
warmest and most disinterested friendship,
he left his personal effects, and entrusted to
him “The Labor of Love,”—so it is called in
the will—of carrying out all his, (Fisk’s) pro

Winter Proof Systems. Thick boot*
aa J flannels are necessary at thia season, but the hu
man frame requires aomoUung more than these to
reader it winter proof. The inner man as well as
the outer surface of the body, mat be protected.
The raw, moist, chilly winds which prevail at this sea
son transpierce tho warmest clothing, and are apt to
affect the health unfavorably, both through the pores
and respiratory organs. The surest way to avert the
evil is to strengthen the internal machine, and thus
enable it to repel the devitalizing influence of un
wholesome weather. Enrich the blood, gently stimu
late the circulation, regulate tho bowels, invigorate
the stomach, tone the liver, and brace the nerves with
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, and no condition of the
atmosphere, however inclement, no variation of the
barometer or thermometer, however sudden, will have
power to disorder the system thus fortified in ad
vance, and put in perfect working order. Damp and
cold, acting upon a sensitive or feeble organization,
•7 produce consumption, diptheria, neuralgia, rheu
matism, dyspepsia, liver complaint, low nervous fe-
cr intermittent lever; the importance of render
ing the system impervious to these two destructive
elements is therefore obvious. Persons in delicate
health, or who are at all liable to be injuriously af-
fec ed by atmospheric influences, should take the
Bitters daily throughout tho winter and spring. In
this way dangerous diseases may be warded off, and a
condition of perfect health preserved by individual*
of comparatively feeble physique, while thoee more
robust, who scoff at precautions, are suffering the pen
alty of their recklessness in hospitals and flick rooms,

Sarsaparilla
Is widely kibwn
as one of the most
effectual remedies
ever discovered fo-
cleaSfsifig il:c svs*
teni aud puvifyiDjf-
the blood. It*lias
stood the test of
years, with a con
stantly growing rep
utation, based on its
intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out* the great co£
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known,
of Scrolllla, and all scrofulous diseases,
Ulcers, Eruptions, and eruptive dis
orders of the skin, Tumors, Elolulics,
Hulls, Pimples, Pustules, Sores, St.
Anthony's Fire, Ifose or Erysipe
las, Tetter, Salt Kiieuni, Scald
Head, Ringworm, and internal Ul
cerations of the Uterus, Stomach,
itml Liver. It also cures other com
plaints, to which it would not seem especi
ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep
sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease,
Female Weakness, Debility, and
Leticorrlioea, when they are manifesta
tions of the scrofulous poisons.
It is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. l>y renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless lan
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
tor cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and a new lease of
life.
