T II E MASONIC JOURNAL Tollow up the Plow. llanl times are now upon us, And rite people arc in debt, Tlu'- country's full of trouble, And the worst is coming yet; ’Tis not without its cause', And I’ll plainly show you now, '.riio only way to stop it Is to “follow up the plow/’ Fill up your Helds and prairies "With a crop that’s good as o'ohl, And mine your hills and valley.s wide. For irou. salt and coal; The earth is the producer, And we can toll you liow To make a princely fortune ■ ’Tisto ‘doilow up theplow.” There are too many people Who from their duty shirk, Who’d rather make a fortune By some other means than work ; Tin- man who plants tobacco, ' Corn, N'l heat, or cotton now, Is king among the “moneyed men"— Uc ‘hollows up llie plow." Masonic Peadiug. It is to be regretted that there are so many meml)ers of the Fraternity both in (,'anadaaad the United States, who think they can obtain knowledge enough of our occult art, without encouraging Masonic ■ournals or magazines. If they could on ly be induced to see the value of the infor mation from time to time imparted by Masonic reading, we are satisfied they would not continue of the opinion tliat nothing is to be gained from ma.sonio lit.-, trature. We cannot-but admit that in order to be perfect in Masonry, it is es .'-ential that due attention should be paid, t) the teachings of those whose duty it is to instruct the brethren ; yet it is equal ly necessary that the brotherhood should seek for information ouiside the Lodges, and in what way can they better find it than in perusing the writings of the higb- t.it authorities in both this and the old world, as given in the pages of the vari ous Masonic periodicals of the day. There was a time when the dissemina- i ion of Masonic knowledge was soleiy confined to the Lodges, and when, too, it was held to he acting wrong even to dis cuss Masonry beyond the precincts of the l.nlge room ; but rea.son and good sense gradually led,to adoption of more liberal ■■ iew.s upon the subject, and no one now :Mrsthatthe bounds will be over step- ' ed either in writing or speaking of the grand principles of the order. When therefore, we hear any one say that all the infonnation be neefs, he can get with- c ut looking into (he pages of a Masonic , inrnal, we put him down as one who does not desire to encourage the spread of the noble principles of Freemasonry. There is no other way for a member ot file fraternity becoming well informed with regard to Masonry than by reading tne periodicals and other publications de noted to the interests of the craft. How nece,ssary :t is, then, tliat'every mem- bar of a lodge should become a sub- scriber to some Masonic journal or other. ('f those who wish the advancement of the order in their own jurisdictions .'■hould look to the journal or journals T.iere first; and we know not but that it v'ould be a wise course for every lodge to take as many copies of the local Ma- .'-onio periodicals as it has members, for in 1 ids manner all would be enabled to gather the requisite information. There i. no lodge without spare funds, and a portion of ii. might be very judioioiisly e.ipeiided iii encouraging the dissemina tion of Masonic knowledge among the brethren. LTifortunately sneh a view does not obtain. If it did, wesliould not hear so frequently of the discontinuance cf Masonic periodicals. The Mew Mig- land Freemason, an admirable journal of its kind, is the last that has gone to the tomb of all the Capulets, and for the very reason that it did not meet with the support necessarj'to a prolonged exist ence. Until tile time ai-rives when evei'V intelligei-t Mason will see the nece.ssity of eneonraging the literature of the Or der, it must continue to languish. We fear there is 1 ittle pirospect of a speedy change in the views of those brethren who holu to the belief that tliere is little use in ericoiii aging Mascidc reading to the tallest extent.--Coomth-a/i Ihaftsnucn. Masonry, viewed as a moral science, must command tlie highest e.steem. It opens to our mental vision sublime astron omy. There are stars and suns revolving about a great centre in the unseen depths of glory. Above that firmament are crys tal waters. In that land of light, the soul will find problems ol moral science which it will forever delight to study and never solve. There it may be ever telling up the sura of happiness, and never finding an answer. How incomprehensible is the my.stery of an eternal progress ! jN'o plumb-line can sound the depths of mer cy ; 'and no compasses can describe in:- men-sity, within whose infinite circle there is an infinite triangle, which will continue forever incomprehensible to the student of celestial geometry. Our order stands a monument of ancient renown—a massive structure, supported by the pillars of wisdom, strength and beauty. B’.it if we would enjoy any real satisfaction in looking at the .splendid ed ifice. we must “go'down to its very foun dation ■»ve must cross the gulf of time, which is bridged over, and go back to the age in which “its stones were hewn, and visit the graves of the very mastei'S whose hands fashioned and heaved them into their places,'’ Let us think often upon the myslerions and solemn ties which unite us together as a band of frienrls and pledge anew our vow r.f ho.y brotherhood and ever walk uprightly before 'God and man,—Dalton Enterprise There are 293,936 houses in Philadel phia as shown by a late census.
