t-cl us select honest, upright and

My i/ety Brethren —l promised
i some time since to talk to you a
bout Eree-Masonrv, especially of
the obligation one Mason is under
I to another. 1 shall not, however, j
confine myself to that alone, but
I shall speak of it in general.
Free Masonry is a grand frater
nity—the greatest brotherhood of
men on the earth—at least of a
non ecclesiastical character. Its'
aim is to bind all its members in
ito fraternal harmony. If it fails
j here, it fails in everything; if it
| succeeds here, it can out live all
I the assaults of its enemies. Ma
j sons must never forgel that it is
the banner under w hich the bat
I talinns of Masonry are marching
jon to human brotherhood. It
| must then never weary in spread
j ing the cement of brotherly love.
! “that cement w hich unites us into
I one common society of friends
| ami brothers, among Whom no
contention should ever arise, but
j the noble contention of who can
best work and best agree.”
Free Masonry. I admit, has its
seerets. It has secrets peculiar
to itself, but of w hat do they prin
i eipally consist ? They consist of
; signs and tokens, w hich serve as
testimonials of character and
qualiticalions, and which are only
conferred after a due course of in
struction and examination. These
are of small value; but they speak
an universal language, and act as
a postscript to the attention aud
support of the initiated in all
parts of the world. They cannot
be lost so long as Masonry retains
its power. Let the possessor of
them he shipwrecked or imprison
ed, let him be stripped of every
thing he has in the world, these
credentials remain They have
stayed the hand of the destroyer,
they have mitigated the horrors
of captivity, they have subdued
the rancor of malevolence, and
broke down the barriers ofpoliti
cal animosity, (in the tield of
battle, in the solitude of the busy
haunts of the crowded city, they
have made friends men of the
most hostile feelings. Tin* most
distant regions, and the most di
versified conditions, rush to the
aid of each other.aud feel special
.joy and satisfaction that they have
been able to afford relief to a
brother Mason.
Again, Masonry teaches us to
support a brother's character
when he is absent, and conse
quently unable todefeml himself
from the tainted breath of defam
at ion. It forbids us to retail slan
ders derogatory to our brother’s
reputation, which is a sacred de
posit ; and if once wounded, ten
thousand words in vindication
will scarcely be sufficient to re
pair the mischief which ten words
have occasioned. To slander our
brother in private, is the vilest of
all robberies. Injure his proper
ty, and you may make him repar
alien; wound his body, and the
physician may heal the wound;
but if his sacred reputation be
touched, if his good name beta
ken away, it can never be restor
ed, but may pursue his offspring
after death ; may descend to hi
childrens* children and blast their
prospects to the latest posterity.
Defamation is always wicked :
the defanier is always despised.—
What gratification can be found
in a practice which elicits univer
sal contempt ? (’an it be found
in the lust of evil speaking, and
cutting up reputations as with a
sharp razor? Can any gratitica
(ion proceed from the practice of
private scandle at the expense of
allot herd's character and honest
name? Does such a practice add
to the slanderer’s piece of mind ?
or iuiiMirfance among his arquain
lance ? Dims it confer a dignity
not to be procured by other and
■ore innocent means ? A nega
tive answer may be safely given
to these inquiries; and it i' rath
er to Ire feared that every honest
and upright man will regard him
with the scrutinizing eye of jeal-
mis suspicion, ami shun him a- a
public nuisance. •• His deeds are
baser than tho-o of the assas-iii.
in proportion as a man's unsullied
lame is dearer to him than life.
The assassin kill- the body of his
enemy, ami ihc mischief end- ;
but the slanderer attacks the im
mortal part of man, and inflicts a
stab in the hope of blighting his
fame forever." None can be safe
where slander tinds admittance.
The virt lies wither round him. and
fade and die before his baneful
touch. He dare not bring the
bold and open accusation, but
looks and w hispers death. I hope,
my brethren, that we have no such
characters in Springville Lodge.
Hut it must be observed on the
other hand, that we are not bound
to applaud t he character and con
duct of bad Masons. We should
do no such thing. If the actions
of a brother betray baseness of
heart, though it may not lie com
mendable to magnify his vices, or
make them a perpetual topic of
conversation, yet it would be e
qually injudicious to praise him or
bear a testimony to virtues that
he'does not possess. None but a
good man deserves to be loved or
praised by any one. The true
motto is to “always speak of a
brother as well in his absence as
in his pre-cnee ; and even more
particularly so.because when pre
sent he has an opportunity of de
fending himself. Never defame
a brother yourself, nor suffer him
to be defamed by others in your
presence if in your power to pre
vent it ; and if his conduct be so
dishonorable that you unfortu
natelv cannot speak well of him.
adopt the distinguishing virtue of
our science—‘silence or secresy,'
especially when this silence will
not conflict with the good of so
eielv or the public welfare.

Ibditical Views.
A Democrat writing from Hol
ly ’Springs Miss, says now is the
time for the people of the south
to do justice to themselves and
President Hayes. We should,
as a people, give Mr. Hayes some
evidences of our appreciation of
his acts; and, when we do it,
asunder goes Ihe Kepublican par
ty, and on its ruins, 1 hope, w ill
be formed parties as of old, not
of sectional animosities and ha
tred, but strictly parties formed
on principle, meting out justice
to every citizen, and fur retrench
ments and reforms in every de
partment, and revenues raised,
not to embarrass labor, being the
true basis for all strong govern
ments, thus begettiing love and
respect by all citizens.”

According to the Folumbus

gest things in the world is to
find southern planters buying
tons of northern hay, while the
heavy and grievous task the

The Georgetown (8. F.) Times
says of the rice crop: “In the be
ginning of the harvest sanguine
hopes were entertained of an a
bundanee in gathering into emp
ty barns and pockets, but the
sunshine lasted only two work
ing days—Friday and Saturday—-
barely giving an opportunity of
rescuing the rice already cut
down from the ravages of the
high tides. The results of the re
cent pounding at the mills show
the immense shrinkage of the
crop. Where thirty and thirty
live bushels to the acre were ex
peeled, the mills pan out only
twelve, fourteen and sixteen
bushels, and that, too, of an infe
rior article. The birds have been
unusuallv disastrous this vear.”

Mr. Henrv L. McGeehee, of

means business. Here is an ex
tract from his announcement:
“Fellow-citizens; 1 want the
office. 1 have waited patiently for
fifteen years for the office to hunt
the man and J have despaired.
1 am now going for the office, and
lam free to acknowledge that
my friends are not at all urging
me to this step. 1 think 1 have
many friends in the county and I
am 'Hie that a number of them
will vote for me, but if ever one
has asked me to be a candidate it
has escaped my memory. in con
versation with have sug
gested name after name hoping
some suggest mine,
but “nary time.” 1 have, there
fore, come to the conclusion that
if a man wants political prefer
ment, the best plan is to come
boldly to the front and ask for it.
1 am in earnest about this mat
ter. I want to go to the legisla
ture and have wanted to for a
long time. It is an honorable
position and who is there that
does not desire to till such a po
sition. I ask it of you because 1
think 1 merit it, and if you will
hear me speak 1 think lean con

The Bedouins in Syria have en
tered upon a life of brigandage.
A recent letter from Acre report
that two months ago they pounc
ed down upon 'Tiberias and got
$1,500 from the people. The pa
sha went out with every man he
could muster, but was forced to
retreat, the Bedouins numbering
2,000 horsemen. The people of
Nazareth are in a panic, as the
I Arabs are stealing everything in
and about that city. Owing to
the war there are scarcely any
Turkish troops in the country, and
the marauders are masters of the
place.
