THE MASONIC' JOURNAL i;. mm u “S' ^,;S: j'SI iji-'j'l.’ISr :. r!.i :is--! I' Give it to them warm. Here is an anecdote told bj one minis* Iter about another : ‘A certain Presiding Elder, -who “sas noted for seldom being up to time, seldom very animated, and seldom very brief, once kept ■ congregation waiting a long 'time for his appearance, and when at last he did come he preached them a very 'prosy sermon of tinusual length on the text, ‘Feed my lambs.' ‘He had not yet finished when that original oh.l minister, known as ‘Camp meeting John,’ rose from a seat in t:«e congregation and said—■ ‘Brother, I nave had some experience in raising lambs myself, and I have found that the following rules are absolutely essential to siioeessfid lamb-raising ; 'First, give them their food in season ; second, give them a little at a time ; and .third, give it to them warm^ ” Origin of P.ii)3r Money. The Count de Tendilla, whilst besieged bv the Moors in the fortress of A.lhain- bra, was destitute of gold and silver, •wherewith to pay his soldiers, who began to murmer, as they had not the means of purchasing the necessarieo of lile from the people of ilie town. ‘In this dilemma’ says tue historian,‘what does this mo.«t sagacious comiuaiiUer do He takes a nu'mbcr of little morsels of paper, on which lie insc.ibed vaiious sums, large and small, and signs tuem with his own hand and name. These did he give to the soldiery in earnest of their pay. ‘How,' you will say, ‘are soldiers to be paid with little scraps of paper ? .Even so; and well paid, too, as I will present ly ’malie manifest, fur good Count issued a proclamation ord ring the inhabitants to t.ike these morsels of paper lor the full a nouiit therein inscribed, promising to raieem at a futsre day with gold and silver. Thus by subtle and almost mi racUiOus aichemy, did this cavalier turn worthless paper into precious gold and silver, his late impoverished army again had plenty.’ The historian adds, ‘The Count de TendilU rede'imed his promise like a royal knight.; and this miracle, as it appeared in the eyes of the Agapida, is the first HiBtanoe on recoid of paper mon ev, which has since spread throughout the civilized worl>i the most unbounded opulence. Revaccination- Hr. William B. D.tvis read a paper be fore the Gin-innati medical society, at a recent meeting giving observa tions on revacoination during the present epidemic in Cinci inati. His observa tions, he said, were b 'sed on two hundred private cases an.l six hundred cases of re- vaocinatiori in the workhouse. Ilis con clusions were as follows: 1. That exposure to infection and is .tense epidemic i tiuenee largely increas es the su.sceptibility of the sv'atem to the infl'ience of v .ccine virus, and accounts for the unusual number of successful re- vacciiiatlOins during the existence of a., epidemic. 2. Smallpox and varioloid give no more immunity from a leourreiice of smallpox than vaccination. 3. The cicatrix (or mark) is not a safe criterion of the degree of perfection given by the previous vao> itiation A iininber of persons were vaccinated having pits of sm-allpox on tfaei'r persons, and seventy five per cent of the cases took. 4. It is advisable to vaoc nate upon •every exposure to contagion, unless it has been recently done with success. 5. Those who are successfully revac- oinated were, to some extent, susceptible to the smallpox influence. IF yon WANT TO Make your business known. Advertise for aeituation. Sell a horse.

Some time since I ordered some short timber to be placed on some joists in my shop, and left. When I returned, 1 found it all placed on two J-, ■ .. ..I I toox one third off. Twenty four hours afterward the joist broke. Why did it not break when .all the timber was on ] Answer. Time is an element to lie taken into consideration in oveicoming - tlie strength of the fiher,- of limlier. Two thirds, load in this ease was sufficient to break the joist in twenty four hours after one-third had been removed ; but a much shorter time would hav.. suffice.! to break it with the w'hole loaii upon it. In what form is nitrogen geneially ap plied to the soil‘f Answer. Generally in the form of compoumls contai uiiig am monia and ammoiiiaeal salts, such as urea 2.

Think. Thought engenders thongfit. Place one idea upon paper—another will fol low it, and still another, luiiil you have written a page. Yon cannot fathom your mind. There is a well of thought there wliich has no bottom. The more you draw from it, the more clear and fruitful it will be. If you neglect to think younself, and use other people’.s thoughts—giving them utterance only— you will never know what you are c pa- ble of. At first your ideas may come out in lumps, homely and shapeless; but no matter time and perseverciioe may polish them. Learn to think and you will learn to write.—The more you tliink, the better you will express your ideas.-—Ex change. NlASOiNiO JOITRjv^^ FOFv THE llkZOmG FRATERNITY IN North Carolina COMPANY.
