BUILDING OF THE TEMPLE.
Long ago, a temple huge and grand
Operative Masons skilled did near
By following close the Master’s^ plan
Which on the pestle board was traced so
clear.
Of an oblong shape ’twos duly mode,
And many stories it did compose
Its floors in Mosaic pattern land
While nigh above each other theyro**.
From Lebanionfe forests came the wood
The finished stones from Zarathan came
At its porch two monster pillars stood—
Strength and Establishment their name.
When guarded pillars they were passed
By Neophyte those walls to enter,
First he found a teaselled border east,
With blazing star in center.
Slav that first floor, of life remind us
EdsdF bordered by itsgaod and ill,
The blazing star that God in kindness
Our hearts with brotherly love will fill.
If you would to tho middle chamber mount,
By a winding stair you must ascend
Fifteen steps; Pause on each one and count,
The treasures that there in beauty blend;
Art and science to you wore taught,
Instructive lessons to you told.
Direction given to your thought,
More precious'far than jewels of gold.
When winding stairs you had safely passed,
And middle chamber fairly entered
On sacred signs your eyes were cast,
On things above your sighj was centered,
Tlio letter G to you wore shown,
Surrounded by a glorious light.
Its secret mysteries then made known,
And three precious jewels brought to sight;
There the craftsmen were their wagos paid
In corn of plenty, wine and oil,
A first record of their ontrance made
Within those walls to toil.
Not yet is reached that seoret chamber
Speculative Masons adore;
The Neophyte must higher clamber
If he would reach the mystic sacred floor,
Where the secrets of our ancient rite
Are to the candidate made known
And precious jewels in our’slght
To every faithful workman shown.
Those jewels to us a moral teach
By which to guid%your future life
If that House on high at last wo reach
Where our souls are freed from earthly strife
Where the working toolsjln skillful hands
, Display the grandeur of our art
There tho laborer paid his just demands
Where^each one must work with cheerful
hearts.
If those secrets you would obtain,
With Freedom you must constant servo
With Fervency striving them to gain, ....
Making Zealous uw of every nerve,
14 ke the mm> b»y and moon by night, *
You Will rule and govern on the square,
with honor west the lamb-skin white.
Your_brother’s fault with patience bear.
By Temperance guided in your acts,
With Fortitude endure your labors,
With Prudence examine all tho facts,
Then Justice render to your neighbors.
Tho teachings of the Plumb you’ll bear In
mind.
Within the Compass’ circle ever tread
On the Level meet with "all mankind *
While with the Trowel, Morality’s cemetit
spread.
With the Gavel divest with pleasure
Your heart of evil to the core;
With the Guage you will truly measure
The Squares that compose your checkered
floor.
To relieve the suffering and distressed
Of your abundance you will freely give,
Truth so firmly on your heart impressed,
With mankind in friendship strive to live,
The Square of virtue for your guide,
And never stray to the Left or Bight,
In Brotherly Love you may abide
When the jewels eorao to sight;
Then if you are true to what is taught
Within that beauteous sacred place,
The Bible will guide your every thought,
In Faith, the grave you will calmly face.
To tho anchor of Hope firmly cling,
Knowing the Lord will charity show,
In the Lodge above at Ilefreshment sing
Whon called from Labor here below.

Mistaken Treament of Colds
The Monthly Magazine (London)
reports Dr. Graham as saying that
it is not a correct practice, after a
cold is caught, to make the room a
person sits in much warmer than
usual, to increase the quantity of
bed clothes, wrap up in flannel, and
drink a large quantity of hot tea,
gruel or otbel* slops, because ic will
invariably increase the feverishness
and in the majority of instances pro¬
long rather than lesson the duration
of the cold. It is known that in con¬
fining inoculated persons in warm
rooms will make their smallpox more
violent, by augmenting the general
heat and fever; and it is for the
same reason that a similar practice
in the present complaint is attended
with analogous results, acold being
in reality a slight fever. In some
parts ef Fngland, among the lower
order of the people, a large glass of
cold spring water, taken on going to
bed, is “found to be a successful rem¬
edy, |and m fact many medical prac<
titioners recommend a reduced at¬
mosphere and frequent draughts of
cold fluid as the most
remedy for a recent cold, particular¬
ly when the patient’s habit is full
and plethoric.

THE *PQT GUARDED BY a PUCKERING
LIGHT—A CRIME WHOSE ACTORS
- ABE AS YET UNKNOWN
"Mercy! mercy! Save me! save
The cry was a waman’s wail, a wo¬
man’s appeal, directed to man and to
Go-1. There was a helplessness in it
that went straight to the heart of
thc^jsta^t listener. responsive $
But it touched no chord
offsympathy in the bosom of the
man to whom it was directed. For
its only answer was a dull blow that
quieted forever the human voice that
thus spoke out its anguish.
Up the little hollow, in the clear¬
ing past the woods, company of gay
children were assembled. Out in the
frosty air rang their happy laughter
as they pulled their glistening ropes
of cany, rivaling each other m rapi
dity of whitening.
The mother sat in the kitchen, bus¬
ily stirring another kettle of sugar.
The cry of distress smote upon her
ear, and she started up. But what
could she do, or what could any of
those young children in the next
room do against one in whose arms
some poor woman was helpless? Noth
ing, absolutely nothing. But, how
pitiless! Then—ah! now it must be
over, no help would avail now, for
that hard blow has hushed the de¬
spairing cry. No use now to alarm
those youngsters, so heartilypnjoy
ing themselves. One is young but
once, and then forever old.
But^it is all over? Tho keenest at¬
tention of a woman whose nerves are
strained to unusual tension detect no
further Boise. There is a painful quiet
without, in contrast' to the happy
Bounds within. It is certainly ended,
and the subject is partly dismissed
from tho mind for the night.
Partially, tor during the hours of
sleep there conies to t,he wakeful
brain that cry from the woods for
mercy, for succor, and up from her
couch etaits the distressed widow,
only to fall back again into an unea¬
sy slumber, with ever-recurring mem¬
ory of the unheeded call.
Such a matter is not to bo kept
quiet, and the next morning before
breakfast the childreu listen with
widoopon eyes to that tale. Direct¬
ed by their mother, they take their
way to the daik and thick woods
down in the hollow. It is thorough¬
ly explored, but nothing found until
the edge on the hillside is reached,
and there—a grave.
A grave, heaped up of dirt that
yesterday was a part of the virgin
mold. Footprints in the soft earth
around show where there has been a
scuffle. But there is no blood, no
knife, no weapon of any kind, no
shred of a garment rent in an ago¬
nized struggle against death. Noth¬
ing but a newmade grave, witb not
even a headstone to denote the dead
one’s name.
The mother asks the children to
fetch their shovels and dig into the
grave. They shrink back horrified.
The neighbors are informed of the
night’s occurrence and gather around
the spot. One man, bolder than the
rest, takes a shovel and thrusts it in¬
to tha mound of esrib. A groan isi
sues from below, and the whole
crowd flees homeward. No one sleeps
soundly that night, but horrid dream
cause sleepers to start and awaken
affrighted. The next day another
man declares his intention to open
the little hillock. His neighbors try
to persuade him not to do so. Hu
persists. The first thrust of his spade
brings forth a low groan, which is
repeated with increased vehemence
at each successive movement of the
spade, till the man, suffused with a
cold and clammy perspiration, pre¬
cipitately runs. No one elsewver
trie* to discover what is buried in the
mound.
The night the cry of distress smites
upon the widow’s ear a train nearing
the station passes by the little neck
of woods from whioh issues the cry.
Terms—$ £SffijwSSRilm
The conductor, looking out, hears
the same cry above the rattle of the
wheels and sees a light dancing abeut
among the trees.
All this is now history for more
than two long years. The plowhare
has turned np the earth al) around
the supposed grave, but it has always
turned aside with superstitious rever.
ence and spared that little heap of
earth. The mystery it contains has
never been cleared up. ( The place is
shunned by children on the brightest
day, and bold men make wide cir
euit of flic apoj, when cofqpelled to
pass by in the gatjungiug dusk.
Night brings a holy terror into all
hearts, for he whose horizon ranges
over that lone grave sees a flickering
light, now rising, now falling, now
dancing to the left, to the right, and
more than one traveller, ignorant of
the tradition, has hastily changed his
course, and told the next day that
he had the most dismal groans, as
or a woman in direst distress.
Many a wild and weird story is
told of Bartow county in North
Georgia. None offers more mystery,
however, than this, If any one is in¬
credulous, let him take the Western
and Atlantic from Chattanooga for
Cass station. Alighting there he can
spend an hour at the store of Col. J.
E. Carter, well known to all Tennes¬
seans. Then he can saunter in the
gloom of the night 400 yards up the
road till he reaches a lull on the right
With hie back to this let him stand,
as the writer has, and gaze straight
ahead into the cornfield from whose
dry stalks the grain and leaves alke
have been stripped. Let hush the tu¬
multuous throbbings of his heart.
Courage! if can be. Wait! if the feet
can be stayed. Art convinced! If not
walk nearer. Such groans have made
brave men wish wings. Yet, ’tis but
imagination^ play-; the supernatural
has long ceased. Height down the
toes with iron purpose, stay and in¬
vestigate, if courage now is found
above all others who have thought
to solve tho mystery.
Gambling a Felony.
From the Mobile Register.
The late legislature made the keep¬
ing of a gambling table a felony.—
However hostile to public morals
such an offense may be, the sporting
man has his sphere and his level in
life, and there is nothing in his vo¬
cation to brand nis table as the ma¬
chinery of a felon. Our ancestors in
a spirit of fanaticism did the same
-thing over forty years ago—passed
the same law. It remained of forc%
only a few years, a few cases only
were indicted under it, one or two
solicitors got into trouble about it,
and the law was repealed. But ad¬
mit for argument that the keeper of
a table of chance in a room or at a
church fair should go to the peni¬
tentiary as a felon, what justice is
there in allowing the half dozen lot¬
teries running in Moblile and against
which our people have so clamored
to remain mere disdemeanors? Laws,
however severe) should not discrim
inate but be uniform. The respon¬
sibilities to government, with its
blessings, should fall alike upon all
classes of people.
A Fanner’s Suicide*
The town of Athens, in Tennessee,
was recently excited over a mysteri¬
ous case of self-destruction. Mort
Mudger, a very estimable citizen of
the second district or McMinn coun
ty, living a few miles northwest of
Athens, committed suicide by swing¬
ing himself in his barn at an early
hour in the morning. He left bis
house, remarking to his wife, who
was preparing breakfast, that he
would get his horse and be back in
time for the meal. Not returning,
after a long time spent in waiting
for him, she became uneasy and be¬
gan a seach for him. It resulted in
finding his lifeless body dangling at
the end of a rope. He was cut down
and attempts made to resuscitate
him, but all in vain. He was dead
The cause for his suicide connot be
determined, but it is supposed that
the act was committed in a fit of
temporary insanity.

Sometimes boy* think mothei««M

mothers. Mothers have such search*
ing eyes, eyes that seem to look right
into the heart, especially if there is
anything hiding there that gmoihera
should know about) and this is iron*
bleaome. If the boys would nmleil

anxious, her questions »o searching;
love that knows all the temptations
that may come to a boy, and the
trouble if there is no wise confident
about I It is not the anxiety of a
Paul Pry, but the loving guardian*
ship of a mother. A wise man said;
“God could not be everywhere, so
he made mothers.” God may seem
far off to ua sometimes, but there is
a mother near, who will lead us back.
The wisest and best men have honor¬
ed their mothers. Few men who have
accomplished a special work in the
world do not give credit to their
mothers for the help and inspiration
that made their work possible. In
giving this credit to their mothers
they have honored themselves, fof
it proves that as boys they honored
her instructions, were guided by her
advice, and made a confidante of her
in their hopes and desires. When
the late Presdent Garfield was inau*
gurated, the first person he saluted
was his mother, showing plainly the
place she held in his heart, his life.
The world honors and respects the
man who honors and respects his
mother. The neglect of a mother
stamps a man or boy as heartless,
ungrateful, if not cruel. The truly
great men have never forgotten those
to whom they were most deeply fto?*
debted.^Many letters have been writ¬
ten about mothers, but few that show
the sorrow that conies if the full
measure of a mother’s love has re¬
ceived no return until too late to
make it. Tho poet Gray, in 1765,
wrote the following letterto a friend:
“It is long since I heard you were
gone in haste into Yorkshire on ac¬
count of your mother’s illness, and
the same letter informed me she was
recovered. Otherwise I had then,
wrote to you only to beg you woqjd
take care of her, and inform you
that I had discovered a thing very
little known, which is that in opo’s,
whole life one can never have any
more than a single mother. Yog,
may think this obvious and (whaf
you call) a trite observation. . . .
You are a green gosling! I was at.
the same age (very near) as wise as
you, and yet I never discovered this
(with full evidence and oonviction,
I mean) until it was too late. It is,
thirteen years ago, and it seems but
4
as yesterday, and every !day I live,
it sinks deeper into my heart.”
Gapt. Steelmau, of the schooner
Bella Russell, says that in tho'voy-i
age to St. Augustine from Netr*
York, and in the vicinity of Fryiagl
Pan Shoals lightship, a boat was 1
sighted about twenty feet loug. The.
wind was blowing a gale with a high
sea. Capt. Steelman tacked h« ves-'
sel and made an attempt to hook on
to the yawl, but withrut success.—
The schooner succeeded fu getting .

out. Capt. Steelman made sevpr^
attemp ts tp get .the ill-fated craft
tow, but was compelled by the fujrjM
of the gale to continue his course.^.
He says that the body of the, mao^
must have been lashed to the boatj,,
or otherwise it would have. ;
thrown out by the force o/the waves..
Whether the man was pnt in the
boat alive or dead will probably be'
never known.
