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. ii noon mi;n all wekk masons. There’s never a tear w ould drop. (tut some kind hand would steal it: There’s never a sigh would swell, Hut seme kind heart would feel it: Ami never a willow sad. Ami never an orphan lonely. Hilt someone would make glad With smiles of joy. if only The good men all were Masons.

And may lie poor and lonely, To show w hat life would lie, And mi‘ii would, if only The good men all were Masons. Dear brethren! may you never forget that to love is better than to hate, ami forgiveness is wiser than revenge. May you love your brethren the more, because they are not perfect ; and pity infirmi ties of temper as you pity infir mities of the body. May you feel for Ihe sorrowful and lonely, the distressed and friendless, ami lay aside obstinacy and pride of opinion and actimony, and disre gard of the feelings of others ; that you be not selfish in this age of selfishness, when life is dress ed it seems only for a show . May w e all hear and heed ! that il may be well with us and our households, and with the brother hood of all tin* earth. The War. Lommi.x, October -7. It is re ported that the Russians pursuing tiliezi Muhktar have advanced as far as Khorausan, and that Mulik tar has retreated to lvoprikos. between Ivhorassan and llassan kaleli. Krzeroum is preparing for a siege. The inhabitants are arming and reinforcements are hastening up from Trebizoml,— (Jliazi Muhktar, however, reports that the Russians have not ad vaneed father than Mellidoose. on the western slope of Sngltan li Dagh, which is more probable than the first statement. The Daily News's Bucharest correspondent represents the in vestment of I‘levna complete.— The Russians appear determined to surround I‘levna by a series of works, as the Germans did I‘aris. The correspondent doubts vvlieth er Plevna is provisioned for a winter's siege, and concludes: •*1 must say now that the ques tion of a second campaign is res olntely faced and the prospect looks more hopeful for the Rus sians than at any time since (Jen.

Enquirer one of the stran gest things in the world is to find southern planters buying tons of northern hay, while the heavy and grievous task the w hole year round is to keep the fields clear of grass. 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.
