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.

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. T'NGIVEN MERCY. A GBAVB WHOSE EARTH U STRUNG ti with NERVES. 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.

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 . near enough, however, tq plainly see. the body of a large white piah in the,, boat. He was naked, with th«,ex ception of a portion of, a pair o!„. pants, and His head bupg over the', forward destroyed. deck, The which boat" was had partially^ red two w . stripes around her gunwale, and name on her bow, the heavy sea, could not be njade-,. 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.
