Our Craft is Everywhere.
How wonderful it seems to think,
In this our world to-day ;
Where'er our hurrying fomsieps roYe
Mid lands all far away ;
Where'er we go, where'er we rest,
Amid the desert'-s glare,
Or in the far and wondrous West
Our Craft is everywhere.
Jerusalem's all holy walls,
Elephanta's "mystic cave,
Where the sad Tyrian ruins
Fringe the blue sea wave ;
WTiere Egypt's mighty pyramids
Still startle pilgrims there ;
Amid the Temples of Peru -
Our Craft is everywhere.
From North to South, from EasfCo
:West, .
On many a ruined shrine;
On many a ci-umblingedifice,
On some Fabricstill divine ;
The tokens of nxt "Brotherhood
Yet all mysfenotis stare,
Proclaiming ever to us still,
OiprCraft is everywhere.
h ! wondrous mystery of the past,
Oh, legend qiu.int of old,
Which in thy pleasant Fellowship
Dost loving hearts enfold ;
How should each Craftsman loyally
Stand bv that Banner fair,
AVhich in unfaltering voice proclaims,

hat do Yost find in Masonry
Tliis, says the Mystic Stcn is
one of tlie interrogatories mndc by
the ' sinciire inquirer, and by the
bii'ot. But with quite different
in o 1 i v es an 1 o 1 j ect 8 tt li e two a p
proach the other. One with itn
lionest purpose'' wishes to know
what is to be found in the sjrstem
of Masonry which will be a bene
fit to him as amoral and an intel
lectual 'being.. The other- pro
pounds the-question with 'feelings
of prejudice- and hatred to work
ings of the Order, pretending to
tear its power in onr .country.
We are -disposed to answer the
profane, v ho conies with feelinsrs

other it is utterly impossible. He,
who stops his ears with prejudice,
and freezes over the fountains ot
his feelings wirlnhigotry cannot
be reached But he who can
t ome having .ea,rs open to hear,
and n heart prepared to receive
the truth, and give it due consid
eration, is tbe one entitled to our
notice.

sincerely desiring to know more
of this mysterious Institution.
We do not deem it necessary
to minutely answer the honest in
quirer all of these interrogations.
But in a general manner, ye say
that Freemasonry as a system of
ethics, is one ot the best nledt-
urns in all of her 'forking power
for an honest hi fin' for a man of a
tender heart, one who desires to
rid himself of selfishness, and ex
hibit all of the noble qualities
found in a human being.
We do not intend to elevate
Masonarv above the benign prin
eiples of that religion, revealed
by God to the world. But this
much we do say, she exceeds the
religion of sect' and party, and
conducts her votaries upon a high
er plane, and teaches them, nobler
sentiments, and more exalted re
sults and aims.! Masonry instinc
tively cultivates a confidence be
tween individuals which party
and sects can iiever do. And al
though that confidence may be
basely -.betrayed, still it is for lis to
live, and be controled by a'-cnu-fiding
influence, than to be dis
trustful of humanity.
Masonry, gives authority to
one brother to speak confidently,
yet prudently, to a brother. If a
brother is not traveling upon the
true circle T which touches the two
exact perpendicular lines and the
great spiritual light in Masonry,
it is tire sworn duty ofa .brother
to administer rebuke in love and
mercy to whisper counsel, give
warning, manifest sympathy, and
proffer aid. i
From time immemorial, Ma
sonry has furnished members with
a language, Avhich can be spoken
the worl drover, without an inter
preteiyIIer wordssymbols, and
ceremonies unknown to the world;
the profane can know- nothing of
this language. . By obligations,
under all the vicissitudes of hu
man life, one brother is bound tb
do another a good: Selfishness,
animosity, hatej revenge and in
difference, must be buried or left
without the courts of the sanctu
ryof the Temple. The edifice
of Masonry must come together
without these discordant ele
ments. As the ancient templf of
Solomon was erected, every por
tion being 'put togther without
iron topis, eo must the moral su
perstructure f Masonry become
fitted, and the work come togeth
er without any ot the confusion,
aiid jaring elements of sect or pai-!
ty. .
Freemason is taught a code
of p ri n cipl es, w h i ch wi 11 i n cl in e
the life of her members to do
good, and intensify all of the no
ble aspirations of the souk Like
all things which are good in the
world, it was designed for the
evil,
Masonry, is like precious seeil J
falling upon good ground and
will produce her rich harvest. So
when the heart of the good and
the great receive her life giving
power, and hundred fold of the
fruits of love, joy and peace are
garnered as the rich reward of
every true Mason.
We find Masonry to be the
good seed of the husbandman,
but as it is being sown, some falls
upon stonv ground, some.bT the
wayside, some among thorns, pro
ducing the result as I recorded in
that sublime lesson given by di
vine wisdom, fetill much of it
finds a congenial repository in the
heart of the good. - It -operates to
bring all shades of faith together,
from every school, conducted by
every party, and unite them in
the bonds of. love even. Men
whose party, and church perdelic
tions forbid them to work for hu
manity with any who differ in the
least from them, unite heart and
hand, u nder the banner of Mason
ry to promote good, and exert
all power of which they are mas
ter, to renovate, redeem and make
purer and better the .children
of men. .
Therefore in Masonry we. do
not iindj:he jarsand unholy etrife
which are exhibited among the
organizations,, which many times,
claim purer objects, and more
exalted considerations.

nip!oyuieut of Women.!
Of avocations there are plenty
which men have monopolized
which they ought to be willing to
exchange for the stolen property
they now hold in their hands.
For example, there are 14,000 ap

not including postofficesof which
wopien get 600 J there, are 250,
00( clerkships oi all sorts in shops,
telegraph, insurance and other
offices, fot -which women are pe

no more than a beggarly 7,000.
Kow, would it beaskingtoo much
of some. of the lubberly, hulking
fellows, whose 'sinews and mus
cles are evidently intended for
deeds of prowess and strength, to
give up jumping counters,rdoing
upparcels in red tape, directing
wrappers, and keeping pcittpae
counts, and to turn their! atten
tioh to eonie of the avocatioils for
which womenxare unfitted and
where their strength can fipd full

farm labor engineering and the
out-door expo.-ure of expressmen.
conductors, hack-men, drivers,
and u long list quite enough to
afford men opportunity to earn
the lion's share of wages and keep
matters generally under thir
control. The statistics of Kew
England show that, white men
have devised methods for adding
to their wealth, the ability of wo
men to earn a livelihood has di
minished. In Massachusetts
alone, there are 50,000 more wo
men than men. , The men have
rushed: to large cities for clerk-

In the meantime, the daughters
of the land remain at home, and,
having been deprived of the in
dustries alluded to above, as their
numbers increase and the ways
aud means of earning a support
decrea8esvit is natural that they
should feel some anxiety for the
future, and demand a larger share
in the distribution of work; There
are more than 2000,000 women
in England' who are compelled to
support themselves, and with
them the.struggle is one of life or
worse than death. Miss Faith

azine in order to advocate the
cause of women and give employ
ment to her own 6ex the com

been followed in this country, and
in many printing offices women
are now constantly engaged. This
is pne step gained, but it ought to

It -has been said that females
are more conscientious ana na
turally honest than men. If that
be true, in times like the present,
when charges of bribery, defalca

made cm -all-sides, it would bo
well worth the experiment to see
if the gentler gex are better able
to resist the teniptationsthat al
ways surround positions of re
ttpbusibUity and trust.
One thing is very certain, the
right of woman to her share of
honest labor cannot be put down
by ridicule or despotism. It must

Expanding the Chest.
Talce a strong rope, and fasteu
it to a beam overhead; to the low
er end of the rope attach , a stick
three feet Jong, convenient to
grasp with tire hands. The rope
should be fastened to the centre
of the stick, which should hang
six or eight mche3 above the head.
Let a person grasp with the
hands two or three feet apart, and
swing very moderately at first

Energy of Will.
It is energy of the will that is
the soul of the intellect. Wher
ever it is, there is life; where it is
not, all is-delusion, and despon
dency, and doslation. People who
have no experience ot it iprmgine it
is destructive to the nerves,exhaus
tive of the animal spirit; that it
agravates the Wear and tear of
life excessively. But this is in
idlejiotion, as idle as the habits
and humors of those who enter
tain it. I leave it to any man
who knows its real effect to strike
the balauce i-to compare the ex
haustion of indolent, day with
that of an activ one; to say in
vhich of the two case the sub
ject is in better heart for work,
and fitter to undergo it. What
ever we may be about, oire thing,
I believe, is certain, that if the
spirits are spent by energy, they
are utterly wasted by idleness.
At worst, energy can only end in
relaxation ; it is superior to it for
a while, and possibly at last may
fall into it; ; whereas, idleness is
actual relaxation from first to
last, and can be nothing else.
But even this view, favorable as
it is, yet not favorable enough to
be j ust. The fact is,' tliat violence
is not necessary to energy, any
more than tyranny i9 to kingship,
ou the aintrary, it is the gentlest
energy thatj does the most work.
Energy, literally from the Greek,
is inward workingneia. The
bloomrn g of the flower is energy ;
the iMcreHs..of fruit is ejiergy.
Yet in all these ihere is, no vio
lence; the effi'cacy is not destruc
tive but vital.' With it tlie whole
frame must fall at once into cr
ruption ; witli it, instead of cor
ruption we have life. But this,
itmav be said, is a refinement.
It may be so, nut u is true in
fact, nevertheless. The gainsay
ers will find it diflacnlt to pro
duce anything from the subject
of surer or more essential truth.
Centennial
Advantage of Crying.
A French physician is out in a
long dissertation on thaudvantag
of groaning and crying in genei
al, and especially auring.surgical
operations. He contends that
groaning and crying are two
grand operations by whieli nature
allays anguish ; that those pa
tients wdio give wayj-to their na
tural feelings more speedily recov
er from accidents arid operations
than those, who suppose it un
worthy a man to j betray such
symptoms of cowardice as either
to groan or to crj He tells of a
man who reduced his pulse from
one hundred and twenty-six to
sixty ,in the course of a few hours,
by giving full vent to his ento-.
tions. If people are at all unhap
py about any thing, let them go
to their room and comfort themV
selves with aloud boohoo, and ,
they will feel a hundred per cent.
better afterward. I
In accordance with the above,
the crying of children should not
be too greatly discouraged. If it
is systematically repressed the re-,
oult may t'p Ot. .Vllua duuw -
ileptic tits, or some pther disease
of the nervous system. What is
natural is always juseful; and
nothing can be more natural than
crying of the children wheu any
thing"occur8 to give them either
physical or mental pain. (?ooi

Iflotliers and Daughters.
In families- where the mother
is the drudge, it is a most painful
spectacl to see the daughters
dressed fto kill, reclining at their
ease with their music, their fan
cy work, and their romautic read
ing, beguilding their precioaa
time, and never thinking of any
thing more serious than to pro
duce atr impressijn and sustain a'-make-believe.
Such young ladies
are constantly in quest of some
thing to rouse their drooping en
ergies; but on no account can
they be got to attend to any prac
tical Dusiness. Their imagina
tions are so stuffed with the trashy
gleanings of novels, that their
lives are waking dreams about
persons, places, and things, which
have no real existence. Withr
them, truth is really stranger than
fiction. It is true, they will some
times tell yoa, with an air of af
fected feeling, that " poor Mama
is working herelf to death ;" yet
if such an obvious remark were
made by another, they would at
once declare that she is quite in
her element in fact, that she
would never be able to content
herself, if she had not soraethiug
to keep her going. Such young
ladies should remember that their
nonsense is too transparent to
hide the real truth from the keyeg
of common sense. .
