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 Wonder if tie wa- a nr.ecliaiiic of some sort j “tit-e tin to !

W in can lie be ?’ 4 I like his face,’ said Rosa. 4 What a broad forehead he lias, and now that he 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- > alyzaiion, and such fares 7 like. See, Richard Barton and George Lord have 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- ‘ er got into these rooms, he cannot belong jto the elite. Perhaps he is some poor j OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS. • 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.
