v oi think tm lorleton, worn over wnile

lilti and a Ilii ii |{iis-aiiiei dre-s Iroin the
back of a chair, and held it fur a moment
-n.pended between Iter thumb and sing
ers.
1 It is beautilyl,’ -aid Rosa lifting her
head Irion beneath the hands of her dress
ing maid, who had just tied a knot of
ribon destined to confine a wreath of
white roses and silver leaves over her
curls i ‘ beautiful, Grace,’ nnd I prophe
sy you will be ‘ the admired of all ad
mirers,’ but that will be no new liing lor
my darling Grace. Make haste, howev
er, or you will be late. See, Bemliie
has my toilette half completed already.*
And the young girl tossed the curls Irom ,
Iter cheek, and rose to survey Iterself in a
mirror opposite. The mirror showed !
two faces—the hall decorated person of
Rosa, and the beautiful countenance,;
bright eyes and pleasing contour of Grace
Lamar, looking over her shoulder, or
rather leaning carelessly upon her neck. ,
Both were beautiful in different ways.—
1 Grace was queenxlike, almost haughty in !
her bearing. Rosa was petite , graceful;
and winning. And wliat they there i
seen-ed, they weFe. The lormer’s only
i fault was pride— pride of person, pride of
station, pride of family. An only, and
idolized daughter, she had been petted
and rarressed from her birth. Her fath
er was a rich banker, and the best society
had from the first, courted her presence,
j No wonder that Grace Lamar, was aris
tocratic in her notions.
That night when the hours had grown
* fashionably late * the two girls descend
ed from tlte carriage and swept into the
brilliantly lighted apartments of Mrs.
Lord. The scene before them was itt
deed almost like enchantment. Beauti
ful chandeliers were suspended by small
silver chains from the ceiling over head,
and poured fourth a flood of light over
carpel and flower vase, mirrors, rostlv
furniture, anti gay crowds. Every face
was radient with animation, every lip
was wreathed with smiles. Grace, enter
ed leaning upon the arm of Iter brother
Edward, and as she moved towards the •
liead of the room, to pay salutation to j
Mrs. Lord, a murmur <>f admiration ran
, mum! the room—Grace and Edward
Lama were the inosi maje-tie couple ill
the apartment. • 1
* 7 wonder who that straucer is you\ !
der,’ said the proud beauty to her com
panion. Rosa, half an hour afterwards,
as she leaned against a pillar in the hall, .
i and glanced towards a voting man nf no
’ ble features, but plain dr<-ss, and diffident
manners who stood apart (mm the crowd, ‘
apparently, ‘ unknowing and unknown.’
I wo.uler how he came here. He is dress
, ed quite like a plebian, I -liould'nt al nil

4 I like his face,’ said Rosa. 4 What

l is interested, gee how his eye- fla-ll with
j intelligence ? His dress, to he sure is 1
exceptionable, but his lace will hear an- >

joined them now. 7 wonder who lie is !’ j
* I don’t gee how, with that dress, and;
the grave, shy, diffident manners that he ;
wore when we first observed him, he ev- ‘

• country cousin come to the city, t > see the
j wonders,’ and Mrs. Lord could not well
! help iiivitinu him. But see ! Edward is
j tirinuing him ht-re : what can the fellow
| mean by giving him an introduction !*
: ‘ Mr.. Evans my sister,’ said Edward.
| Grace bowed her queenly head stiffly ;
‘ (iiii Rosa, after he had been through a
formal presentation to her, chatted with
him or rather to him like a black bird.
Both seemed pleased with the n-quoin
lance they were forming. Mr. Evans
took a chair bv her side, and hardly lr|i
lu-r the remainder of the evening. Grace
Lamar was truly glad, when George
Lord came to off. r Iter his arm for a
promenade, lor she had sunk into a chair
beside Rosa, afier the presentation was
over, and sat silent, almost moody in her
unbending pride. She now arose, and
swept off in the trial of a crowd, who
were walking arm in arm thro’ the differ
ent rooms. She dared not ridicule the
stranger to her companion as much as she
wanted to, for be was his mother's invited
guest, and fm aught she knew, his rela
tive. but -lie puzzled her head continually
to find out who, and wh it he was. But
ro one seemed to know anything about
hint. The eveuiiu! glided awav, and she
had gained no information respecting the
uncouth guest.
‘ Who is he f’ she asked again ofßosa,
when they met in the cloak room. 4 7
ant sore you must be tired, bored to
death.’
4 Far from it,’ said Rosa, ‘I pronunre
him the most agreeable man 7 have met
tltis season, but I do not know whether he
lives in the city or not.’ 4 Evans ! no
family by that name visit in our circle, 7
am sur*,’ said Grace; 4 there are some
, Evans in the lower part of the city, but
‘ they are all poor sticks.’
I ’ Edward ’ said Grare the next morn
ing across the breakfast table, 4 pray
who was that Mr. Evans that you parad
ed through the rooms arm in arm with, as
; if he were a brother, and to whom Ire
ally believe, 72osa Colei gave her heart
unasked. He most be a very lariiiating
, fellow, although 7 saw little to prepos
sess one in his lavor.’
4 He is my brother’ said Edward with
; a quiet smile.
i 4 And mine too, I suppose,’said the
beauty, wit!) a disdainful loss of the head.
4 If 7am lo sustain that relationship to
him, l shall send hint forthwith to get .
measured lorn suit of clothes. Pray h>>w
■ s lie your brother.’
’ He is a bright and noble mason,’ said
Edward— 4 he needed no other introduc
tion to my notice. Much a< you scorn
i his appearance now, my sister, there may
! come a time, when he will art the part nl
a brother, to even my q .eenl) Grace.—
Please pass my rup.’
’ A- id that is his only recommenda
tion,’ said Grace with a bitter smile
* Brother, 7 am getting actually ashamed
of you. Since you joined that miserable
Irateruity, the dirtiest merhanir—the
most common people, you stop ii the
street to shake hands with, and talk to—
’ you even hunt them up, and now I hear
you claimii g relationship with, no body
knows who, simply on the ground of bis
being a mason. You go further—you
1 presume in introduce these common peo
i pie In me, ax your friends. . I do not
thank you for the compliment.’ 4 But
you may some day thank me Grace for
doing it. Masonry is not an idle thing.
| There may come a time when yon will
1 need the protection which as the sister of
a mason, will be freely thrown around
yon : do not speak so bitterly ol the in
stitution now. Mr. Evans is a young
man from one of the western stales. He
lias invented a useful machine for tanning
‘ leather, ( ant told, and has come to (he
city for the purpose of gelling it patented.
George Lord first met with him in the
Lodge. He was highly pleased with
i him, and deems him a man of no otdin- .
ary genius, they have become intimate
in the course of a few weeks, and that
accounts for his presence there last night. I
I noticed Rosa Coles seemed to enjoy ■
his society, nnd lie was also pleased. He
told me at parting, that he had spent a
most delightful ti ne—could lie have said
l as much, had no one volunteered to en
-1 teriaiu him beside my sister Grace ?’
4 Humph!’ said Grace. * I generally
know who I am talking In, before I talk,
I end 1 must confess that I aut astonished
; al Rosa’s behaviour.’
That afternoon came, on dark and
’ cloudy, but Grace had promised some
friends at the upper end of the city, that
j she would spend an hour or two with
them : she did not like to disappoint them,
and so she tied on her bonnet, and issued
into tlie crowded streets. Carl, oinni
busses, and drays, were passing in every
direction, but -lie hurried past them, am)
was soon in the broader pleasanter streets
of the upper city. Here she met the
friends on whom she had promised to call,
and in their pleasant society she forgot to
note the flight of time. When she step
ped into the street again, to pursue her
journey home, she was surprised and
itit’hiened, to see how near night it was.
Heavy dense clouds hung in the air, and
a few drops of rain had already fallen up
on the pavement. She had full two miles |
lo walk, and her wav lay through some \
o( the most desolate streets in the city.— j
She hurried on with rapid and unequal ’
steps, until she had gained some distance j
in her way, but the clouds grew dense j
overhead—the rain fell faster —the streets I
grew narrower and more lorboding in their i
aspects. She had supposed at the com
mencement of her journey, that she knew
perfectly well every yard of ground inter- j
vetting between herself and her home, I
but in her consternation, and in the gath
ering gloom, she now found that she had
mistaken her way, she was, she feared in
the immediate vieiuilv of the most disrep
utable part ol the city. She stopped,
trembling with fear and apprehension.—
The signs on the stores and shops were
filled with unfamiliar names—ragged,
dirty, disgusting specimens of humanity,
reeled by her, or stopped to scrutinize her ;
person and dress. Site was alraid to go ,
on, for fear that every step would carry!
her further into danger: she feared t‘> at
tract attention by standing alone and ir
resolute at that hour, in so vile a place.
. What was she to do ? She knew that ]
| Edward was probably in search of Iter, 1
but she bad missetl her way, and lie would
not know where to look lor her. He
probably would go to the upper end n|,
the city, thinking to meet her, but the |
wa—she hardly dared think, where.
While she was mn-ing thus, a rough;
voice accosted her. She turned in con
sternation, and beheld a middle aged
man, leaning against a lamp nost, and
with a .mi-i ius-ilent eye regarding he*.— .
His whole appealauce prm laiute I him to
be a rowdy ol the most desperate char
acter—his eyes were red, his face and 1
body were bloated, blotched and purple, i
. Grare uttered a slight shriek, and sprung
1 forward. I w ill gpi nut of his w ay, she
thought let me go where / may. She
flew like so ue frightened ir| thr ’ lanes,
and by way, sometimes stumbling in tin
darkness, ami then is uing into better
lighted streets. At length she pausid,
i hall terrified to death, lo as-Plain if pits
! -ilile where she was. The place was as
• unfamiliar to her as before—the aspect of
j things around her quite as forbidding.
4 Mv pretty la*s stays out late, and it
! mouglit be don’t know how to get home,’
said the same insolent tones that had be
, fore addressed her. Site turned nnd saw
1 that she was pursued, and that the man
whom he had seen beside the lamp-post
was close behind her.
Again she shrieked, and again she
sprung forward : one terror now filled
her rnind—the dread o( being overtaken
and insulted by this fiend in human garb.
4 Good Heavens, Miss Lamar?’ said
a voice which she rent *mbered to have
beard before. She glanced tip, and saw
the uncouth guest of the party, standing
directly in her path. 4 Ynn are alone
and in distress,’ he said in a rommiserat.
mg tone : 4 is there any way in which 7
cun be of service to you? If so com-’
mand me freely.*
1 7 am indeed in distress, ’ cried Grare, j
4 for I lost mv way at night-fall, andean- i
not recover it. I wish to go lo No. 99:
Sireet. Will you be kind enough,
sir to direct me ?’ !
•7 will go with and protect yon, if you j
will arrept of my escort—this is an un
safe part of the city for a young lady to
traverse Blnne at this hour. Will you
I take my arm?’ Grace thankfully clung
;to her protector. How differently she
fell towards him now Irom what she had
fell in Mrs. Lord’s brilliant rooms the
night before.
As they passed tinder the lamps, site
i glanced up at him, and thought that lie
had grown to he a different being in the
short spare ol twenty-four hours. He
now looked noble, manly, ettrartive.
He referred lo their meeting the night
before, and congratulated himself upon
having met and havinc been introduced
to her, as il now justified him in offering
her protection, which otherwise might
| TERMS: $2 ia Advance.
have appeared insolent and improper.—
He spoke of her friend, Rosa Coles, and
chatted so pleasantly, that Grare was half
surprised to find hersell standing so soon
before the marble steps leading up to her
father's elegant mansion.
•You will go in,’ she said, ‘and receive
the thanks of my family as well as my
own, for guiding me home. 7am very
grateful to you.’
‘7 deem myself happy in having met
with you, Miss Lamar, and deserve no
thanks—no gratitude. 7 shall leave the
city to-morrow, otherwise 7 would give
myself the pleasure of calling in the couise
| of a few days, and ascertaining whether
J you have thoroughly recovered from your
j fright. Please remember me to your
brother. 7 have an engagement which
| prevents me from entering to-night—say
; to him that I am happy to have had it in
jmy power, to aid the sister of a mason,
i Good evening, Miss Lamar!’ and before
Grace could reply, the young man had
bowed himself from the steps,
j ‘I owe this protection—the most oppor
’ tune that ever came to mortal, to mason
ry then—to tli <e brotherly love of the craft
—the very virtue which I ridiculed and
despised this morning. How little did I
dream then, that tlte poor leather tannpr
would ever have il in bis power to ‘act’
as Edward said 4 a brother’s part’ to me—
lo me the haughty, self-depending, and,
1 fear, too proud belle of an aristocratic
circle. Thus mused Grace as she turned
j the door knob—divested herself of her
walking dress, and then wended her way
i to the drawing room.
She lound great consternation prevail..
ini> in the household, owing to her late
return, and that Edward bad been rtin
! ning all over tlte city in fruitless endeav
; ors to find Iter. All welcomed Iter back
with unfeigned joy, and all were loud in
expressing gratitude lo the young stran
, ger, who had secured her from immediate
! and impending danger,
j *1 never will ridicule the brotherly love
j you masons harp so much upon, Edward,’
said she, ‘for 1 have been blessed by it.
I -hall not quarrel with yon for associa
ting henceforth with beogars, if you
; please, and introducing them to me.’
Slu said this with a wii ked smile, but
there w is sincerity in tier words never
i the less.
I *1 do not wish to introduce my sister to
beggars,’ said Edward, *1 do not associ
ate with them as equals ntyself, but I do
look upon every bright nnd accepted ma
son a my hi other, whether his hand is
••■ft, or hardened by labor—-whether lie
is met lianic. s< holar, piie-t, teacher, or
architect—whether he is high or low
rich or poor. Masonry renders all who
conform to its precepts, honorable. The
’ greatest and the best of men have never
deemed it derogatory to their dignity, to
level themselves with the whole fraternity.
Masonry unites men of every country,
creed, and honorable *ccopation.”
A few months after Mrs. Lord's party
Grace’s heart was made very sad, by the
removal of her sweet friend Rosa to the
: west. Mr. Coles had purchased land of
die government, and deemed it best to
remove to it with his family. From their
earliest infancy, these girls had been much
together; every thought, feeling and en
joyment had been shared in common, and
die separation was not widiom bitter
pangs to both. They promised to main
tain a punctual correspondence and never
forget each other. We hear much of the
romantic attachments of school girls.—
Their friendships are so ephemeral, in
i iheir nature, that they have become the
j subject of jests, and ridicule, and we must
j acknowledge, (hat the term friendship is
i with them, more common than the reali
; ty. Still, there are instances in w hich
die most opposite natures unite in bonds
’ so strong, that nothing but death can dis
{sever diem. Suclt was die case with
Grare and Rosa.
Rosa’s first letter was filled with ani
mated descriptions of her journey and of
her new home. At the bottom of her
sheet was traced, in pencil marks, the fol
lowing sentence—
‘You will be surprised, my dear Grace,
to know that Mr. Evans, who was in the
city a few months ago, and with whom
we met, as you will remember, at Mrs.
Lord's party, is here—our near neighbor
and constant visitor. He lias secured bis
patent, and bids fair to be as rich as your
friend Rota has ever deemed him agree
able.’
‘And so romance, marriage, and no
body knows what, it to come out of this
brotherly tone, it seem*,’ said Grare to
NO 2.
