The following was the response of Rev. Dr. Msgilf. rector of 8t. Paul's Chnrch, Psrn, Illinois, on being asked the above question by a lady : I am one of the band j Who will faithfully stand In the bonds of affection and love : I have knocked at the door, Ones wretched and poor, And there for admission I strove. , By the help of a friend. Who assistance did lend, I succeeded an entrance to gain. Was received in the West, By command from the East, But not without feeling some pain. Here my conscience was ta nght, With a moral quite fraught With sentiments holy and true ; Then onward I traveled To see it unraveled, What Hiram intended to do. Very soon to the East I made known my request And ' light' by command did attend ; When, lo ! I perceived, In due form revealed, A Master, and Brother and Friend. Thus far I have stated, ' And simply related, What happened when I was made free ; But I've " passed" since then, And was " raised" up again, To a sublime and ancient degree. Then onward I marched, That I might be ArchM," And, to find out those treasures long lost; When, behold! a bright flame, From the midst of which came A voice, which my ears did accost. Through. the "vail'' I then went. And succeeded at length The "Sanctum Sanctorum" to find; By the "Signet" I gained, And quickly obtained Employment which suited my mind. In the depth I then wrought And most carefully sought For Treasures so long hidden there : And by labor and toil, I discovered rich spoil, Which are kept by the craft with due care. Having thns far arrived, I farther contrived, Among valiant knights to appear ; And so Pilgrim and Knight, I stood ready to fight. No recreant foe did I fear. For the widow distressed There's a word iu my breast, For helpless and orphan I feel ; And my sword I could draw To maintain the pure law, Which the duties of Masons reveal. Thus have I revealed, Yet wisely concealed What the "Free and accepted" well know; I am one of the band Who will faithfully stand As a Brother, wherever I go. From Peterson's Magazine. THE CAMANCHE RAID, BY MARY BAYARD CLARKE. CHAPTER V. Two hours after this, as Hubert Elliott wc8 riding rapidly along the beach, he saw a small boat about halt a mile from the shore. A soli tary man was in it, who, by violent gestures, seemed desirous to attract atteution. Herbert drew his bridle, and waited till the boat u eared the shore, though chafing at the delay. "Will Holt F he exclaimed, in surprise. "You here?'' Then, some thing in the man's face arousing his fears, be cried, " In God's name, what is the matter I" . " Turn back ! turn back !" said the man, eagerly, as if even not yet re covered from his fright. " You are riding to your death. The Indians came down on us just before day, and burnt the settlement " J " Burnt the settlement !" " Aye ! and murdered every soul Hi it that is. excepting me," he added, " and I just escaped by skin of my teeth. Yon cap,. see marks of the cursed arrows on the tbo the boat." "And Miss Le Roy," said Hubert, thinking, in this crisis, only of Julia. " You don't mean to say, you cow ardly villaiu, you left the women to perish;77 And he clutched the man by the collar, and shook him violent ly " I I did my best,77 stammered the man, reeling back. " I say, mis ter, let go. What could I dot There were three or four hundred yelling devils after me alone." " Pshaw I77 cried Hubert, recover ing from his momentary frenzy, and flinging the man away from him. "But stop. You can be of use even yet. Take my horse, gallop to the Point, and tell Le Boy to come up with all the men he can rally. I will go up the river in your boat and reconnoitre, and then meet you at the first bend below the settle ment. Bide for your life ; and hark," be said, as Holt swung into the sad dle, " be sure you bring back a horse for me," " All right," cried the man. " But I say, next time don't be so hard on a fellow. You don't know the Ind ians v Hubert did not wait for him to finish, but sprang into the boat, say ing,as he pushed out into the stream, "Tell Le Roy to bring all the am munition he can. His sister has pro bably been carried off, and we must follow them T" Hubert said this, thinking thus to break the blow to Edward. But, for himself, he bad no doubt that Julia-was dead, and now he was on ly intent on revenging her death. He rowed with all the rapidity he, could, till he neared what had been Lavacca settlement, and then went on more cautiously, straining his ears to catch every sound. But not- I hing broke the fearXui stiuneas j not ! WEDNESDAY,! SEPTEMBER 16, 1874. a creature was seen moving among the ruins. The tide was going out, and the boat could. not get up to the shore ; but as Hubert cautiously ad vanced, he descried, underneath the wharf, or rather per, for it Was built out on piles, and was open , below, something whitej like a woman's dress. Drawing the boat under the pier, and securing it where it would be out of sight, be waded carefully up to the shore, tit ill keeping under the nier. so as to shield nimseir as much as possible from observation Suddenly his eari were gladdened with the sound of-Charlotte's voice, exclaiming, in tones of suppressed joy. j . i " Mv Lord, it'sMarse Elliott ! Oh, Marse ! I thought at fust, you was an Injun, and he had found me out," and, bursting into a fit of hys terical weepiug, she alternately re joiced over his arrival, aud I lament ed the fate of "poor Miss Julee." It was some time belore sue was composed enough to tell her story to Hubert. Sad as it was, it yet brought a ray of hope to his bosom. " You see, honev," said she, at length, "me and Miss Julee fotch Miss Fanny as fur as the head of the wharf, arter she was shot, and then we both gine out, and afore we could ketch breath enough to go furder, a great, big Injun just kotch up Miss Julee, and run off with her. Aud then, arter that, Miss Fanny she moaned, and said something I couldn't understand, and the light flaring up that miuute, I seed this here hollow under the wharf, and managed to drag her inter it, and cet afore her, so they couldn't see her white gownd. Arter a" while, I seed Mr. Holt swim out, and get iuter our boat, aud I motioued and made signs, aud hollowed to him at last; but just as I did so, a whole o' the devils charged over the wharf, and I was so feared they'd hear Mi98 Fanny a moaning, that I kept my band over her mouth till she stopped. 1 haint heard a sound from mortal (or nigh on two hours, and I'm feard the poor thingrs dead." Hubert drew tbo poor girl out from her hiding-place, and, finding she still breathed, gave Charlotte directions as to taking care of her, and then proceeded to search for some sign of Juliit. But he found nothing that threw any light on her fate, nor did be meet a living soul. George Moretou lay dead and scalp ed in front ot bis own door. lie bad apparently been attempting to get to Julia, as be had turned in the direction ot her bouse; bis wife and children were saved by their ab sence. The ground arouud the place, where the bouses had been, was strewn with their contents, and those of the warehouse. Hubert picked up one of Julia's pocket baudkercbiels, and a little further ou a large sun-bat; but neither gave him any assurance that she bad let them fall ; they might, and probably were, takeu from the house by the Indians, aud accident ally dropped, or cast away. But his heart grew calmer as be failed to discover her body. If she bad been carried off, as Charlotte declar ed, it must have been lor the pur pose of making a prisoner of faer; and the short stay that the Indians had made, convinced him that they feared to encounter opposition, and were retieating rapidly. He now bitterly regretted having sent back the horse on which he was mouuted. Had he retained it, he could in stantly have followed ou the track of the Indians ; and be shuddered to think to what Julia might be expos ed before she could be rescued from their bands, even if rescued at all. Returning to Charlotte, whom he found still in attendance ontFanny, even the faint comfort derived from not finding Julia's body, was taken from him by the old servant's la mentation, that "her poor young Miss bad been flung in the fire by the owdacious raskels." Hulert had not thought of this ; her body might indeed have been burned ; and he ground bis teeth with im potent rage and despair at the thought ot it. " Marse, jest help me to carry dis poor child yonder, under the shade of the pecan trees," said Charlotte, as he walked impatiently back and forth, utterly forgetful of launy. It was the woik of a few moments to bear the wountled girl to tne spot where Jnlia had been carried. Charlotte had drawn the arrows out, aud staunched the wounds, as she best could; ana, reproacning himself for his neglect, Hubert now gave bis whole attention to reviving Fanny. He was suddenly inter rupted by Charlotte, who, laying hei hand on his arm, said, in a whisper, "There's something moving be hind that thare clump o' bushes ; I 3eed a man dodge his Bead just as yon rise.np, marse." i nubert looked in the direction to which she pointed, and whispering her to keep quiet, and lie down be side Fanny, crawled, with his gun in his hand, to the edge of the pecans to reconnoitre, ne was sorry that he had not put Fanny at once into the boat, and pushed off vdtb her and Charlotte ; and he determined now to do so. But before he could do this, a man cautiously crawled from the dense clump. One glance was 8ufHcient to show it was not an Indian. Supposing it might be some one who had escaped the massacre, he called out. ; . ! " Come on, if you are a j friend ; there are none but friends here." To his surprise, Hubert was an swered by a voice, that he recog nized at once to be that of Big Foot Wallace. i ! " Ah f Mr. Bert, are you there! I thought; I saw a squaw scouting round nuder them trees." So saying, he advanced to where 1 1 - ' Hubert stoodVaddin ir. him by the hand, I was afeard on it ; I was afeard on it ; them cussed cowards in Vic toria koowed the devils was down, and narry a one of em lad spunk enough to come and give the Lavacca folks warning. I fotch a train in from San Ahtone, last night ; and when I heard as now the Injuns was out, and had bore away to the lef o Victoria, I knowd they was a strik ing for this place ; and so I put right off to warn George bn'em. Whar is he whar Is he f"' ' Hubert shook his head sadly. " Pead," he replied. "A;nd the rest on W the wltn men and chllern ; and Miss Julee ; the devils aint never got her.T JJou't tell me they have. I tried to get down here in time cuss them Victoria' boys.'7 ' Hubert told all he knew related his unavailing search for Jnlia, re peated Charlotte's story, and, final ly, showed him Fanny, still alive, out senseless, wanace bent ovfcr her, thoughtfully, for a few mo ments, and then gave Charlotte some directions as to the dressing 01 ner wounds, under their nnited care, Fanny gradually revived, but was too feeble to speak at first, and when she did speak at last, she was evidently out of her mind. "It's my opinion, Mister Bert," said Wallace, at length, " that ras kils has carried Miss Julee off a prisoner ; that fellow would never have ketched her up, and ruu ofl with her, if he meant to kill her. General Felix Huston is out arter this here very gang ot Injuns; they've got news on it, it's evident, or they wouldn't 'ev cut stick, and cleared out from here so soon. They bant left narry a beast behind 'era, and mine is pretty well done up for the present. .1 left him staked yon der, in the long grass, behind them bushes. My judgment is, that we git what traps we kin start up to gether, and when he's sorter rested, I'll mount and be off on their trail, and you kin follow arter, and bring as many more of the boys, as you can git together,"" " No, Wallace, I am going with you ; if you think she has been car ried off, I'll never rest till I find her, dead or alive. Holt has reached the Point by this time, and Le Boy will be here as soou as possible, with horses and ammunition. We will make what preparation we can, and start as soon as he arrives ; the Indians are not all mounted, prob ably, and must travel slowly." U Well I'm agreeable to your going. Ci 4 vi-hrt nan uraf a Iiapqa in time ; but 1 11 not wait for you ; as soon as mine is rested, I'm off." No," said Hubert, determinate lj " If only oue can go, I mean to be that one ; she is more to me than she is to any mortal living; and I have the best right to go after her." 44 1 won't dispute yon, if you put it on that foot, and the Lord grant but ye find her," said Wallace. no and Hubert then proceeded to collect the bodies of those who had been murdered, of whom there were five, beside George Moretou; Fanny Ewing's father and mother could not be tound ; they lived at the end of the settlement, farthest from that on which the attack' was made ; and as their boat was missing, Hubert hoped they might have escaped. And so they had. Mr. Ewing hur ried his wife and two other children into his boat, and was stooping over to cast it off, intending to re turn aud look for Julia and Fanny, while his wife waited fori them at a safe distance, when an arrow struck him on the head, and he fell sense less into the boat, which was swept by the tide from the shore ; fortun ately, he was stunned ; when he re covered, it was to find that there were no oars in the boat ; so they drifted down the bay, till seen from the deck of a schooner, and picked up by a boat sent out for them. Big Foot and Hubert I nad com pleted their sad task, and returned to the pecan-trees, where .Charlotte bad manaered to cook a con pie 01 chickens, shot by the former, which, with a little coffee, gatnered rrom the anantitv scattered i over the ground, furnished a breakfast which Hubert forced himseir to eat, mac he might keep up his strength; they had just dispatched it, (when Big Foot pointed out a Doy, on ; norse- back, and leading another horse. II a beit immediately recognized both boreo and rider as belonging to bis father, and advancing to meet the astonished boy, beard with de light that his own horse had reached home about an hour after sunrise, with a terrible cut on his shoulder, and a strange bridle on his neck. "Oh, master said as now i d Dec- ter come down, and fetch another to you. Mars Bert; he Ho wed as how Biff Black warut flten for yon to ride, and you mought want one He said as how be didnt like the looks o that cut no how, and I was to come down and tell you, if Big Black had got away, he was safe at home, and (etch you the young ! Hubert wrote a note to his father, telling him what had occurred, and beting him to come down at once, in his boat, and take Fanny and Charlotte to his house, and see if he could render Edward any assistance stating that be, with Big Foot Wal lace, would start at once on the Indian trail to rescue Julia and any other captives. He also writes a second to Edward, telling him of his hopes of recovering Julia, and, leaving that with Charlotte, he mounted his horse, and, after telling Dick to stay with Charlotte till Ed ward arrived, set out, accompanied by Big Foqt on the trail of the Ind ians. They had nbt been gone an hour, when Edward 14 Boy and Valcour' Dnjprer reached Lavacca,' accompanied by one or two men on foot from the Point. Edward handed 1 TT I "7 " - ' Hubert's note toValcour without v ' luruwiog nimseir on the grass beside Charlotte, who still sat at Fanny's head, wept, not like a child, but as Only a strong man can weep, when his heart is wrung by an agony of doubt and fear. ' Yalcour Dupre read the note which Hnbert had written tnTVfnrorrJ on,i , then crushing it in his hand, turned tjuivKiy away, wun a sparkle labia j ouu a uusu on ma cneek, wnica spoke of some new emotion. He had believed, from the first, that Julia was dead; so indeed, had Ed ward; for the more-Holt was cross questioned, the less likely did it seem to them that she could have escaped; but while Edward, after seeing Charlotte, and reading Hu bert's note, felt a faint hope spring up hi uits urease, Aaicour was posi tively certain, not only that Julia was alive, bat that Hubert loved her ; and, for the first time, a doubt of the success of his wooing crossed his mind. He determined that Hu bert should not alone have the pleas ure of rescuing her, and, therefore, left Edward, overcome with grief, and hastened to see that all was in readiness to pursue the Indians His Creole blood was on fire with rage, jealously, and love the two first just at that moment prepon derating over the last. Edward would uot leave until he had given Charlotte strict injunc tions respecting Fanny. The men from the Point promised to remain with them until Dr. Elliott arrived. Hastily rigging up an awning for the poor girl, they theu proceeded to dig graves for the burial of the bodies ; while Edward aud Valcour, having heard from Dick in what direction Big Foot and Hultert bad departed, struck into the same trail, which was broad and unmistakable. They bad ridden about ten miles, when the trail parted. Here, stuck on a stick, placed upright, was an other note from Hnbert, informing them that be and Big Foot had tak en the right hand at a venture, and advising them to follow the left ; thus, should Julia uot be in the one which they were following, her brother might find her ou the other. Edward immediately resolved to adopt this advice, and though Val cour would have preferred follow ing Hubert, be could oiler no good reason for doing so, aud was obliged to submit. We must now go back to Julia aud her captors, leaving her brother and two lovers to follow in her track. TO BE CONTINUED. Sumac. Sumac is largely used in tanning the finer kinds of leather: esne- cially in the manufacture of the hard grain morocco aud similar goods. It is also employed as the base of many colors in calico and delaine printing. Probably the consump tion of this article throughout the country, for all purposes, aggre gates more than 20,000 tons, of which about two-thirds are imported from Sicily, not because just as good so mac cannot be had in this country, but because, until a few years ago, our people did not know its value, or in what way to prepare it for market. The sumac of Vir ginia, Maryland, and Tennessee in particular is said to be the best in the world, and even its worst va rieties have been pronounced by ex perts to be better than any imported from Sicily. Almost every farmer has a clump of these bushes. They are called by some "shoemake," by others "red shoemake." Probably many farm ers may have tried to kill them by cnttin? them down. If they have. they know how difficult a task it is. j It grows like asparagus all the ' hetter for beinff cut: and when once started upon a lot and cut close j once a year, it is as easy to cut as fodderV The only trouble is in curing it properly. This must be done with all the care that is given to tobacco or hops. Exposure, after cutting, to a heavy dew injures it, and a rain storm detracts materially from its value. It is cut when in full leaf ; and when properly dried is ground, leaves and stick together. An acre in full bearing will pro duce not less tbau three tons ; and when fit for market is worth from eighty to one hundred dollars per ton. The "manufacturers," as the curers are called, pay about one cent per ponnd for it in a green state. A sumac mill costs about $3,000. The Commissioner of Agriculture gave an outline of a mill in his re port for 18C9. If thirty farmers would unite in an eflort to establish a mill, each planting out a-few acres, .says the Ohio Farmer, we have no doubt that the enterprise would prove far more remunerative than either corn or wheat, and be the means of inaugurating a new enterprise in their State. There is no danger ot an i overstock. The demand is daily increasing, Jor hem lock is growing scarce, and every day new tanneries and dye-bouses are going into operation. Scientific American. Whitetcwhing. We hardly know a more pleasing sight than while whistling along on the various lines of railroads, to see a farm house, with all its out-houses and fences, exhibiting a snowy whiteness in striking contrast to the green fields. It at once impresses our mind that the occupant has at least an idea of cleanliness and beauty. Apart from all this, it is preservative of wood, and it adds at least fifty per cent, to the looks of the place, and in a sanitary point of view, and. its use fa n nnr, bn over-estimated.

Professor Mitchell's Grave. aays a correspondent! up west, ol mo v usuu Advance', i ne rJaisam Fir trees near the Peak have leea cut down, so as to giie a better view. Dr. Mitchell's grave is on the top, and has a smalll thin, dark; rough, crumbling headfstone, with notuing whatever luscHibed on it; not even his name, except the figures "o,n" tne height of the uioun tain as measured bv.hitn. On his fifth visit to this peak ioj June, 18.17, for the purpose of confirming bis barometrical by a trigonometrical measurement of the height, he was over taken by a thunder storm. Groping iu the darknes of evening his watch marked 19 minutes past 8 o'clock he lost his footing and fell forty feet into a deep jool that feeds the Sugar Camp Fork of Caney River. Two hundred mountaineers, searching for his body, found it eleven days after wards, at the bottom of this pool: It was buried first in Asheville, and taken up a year afterwards aud re interred here; on which occasion,! in the midst of a large concourse; of people, Bishop Otey of Tennessee,! and President Swain, of the Uni versity, pronounced eloquent fun eral orations. A Check of Only $100,000. We were told yesterday by a promi nent minister an incident whih may be news and interesting tp a large number of our readers. It&s well kuown that Commodore Van derbilt gave $500,000 to the Metho dist University, which has since been located at Nashville. The gift was $300,000 for endowment, and $200,000 for the structures, re serving the right to approve the plans for building. The commis sion had a plan prepared for a main building to cost $125,000, and twelve others to cost $75,000. The plans were forwarded to the Com modore who disapproved them, be cause the smaller buildings were not fine enough. The commission suggested that the money would not do more. The Commodore sent a check for $100,000 additional to erect such buildings as he desired making the gilt in all oou.uuu. Bishop McTyeire is to have a building on the erround aud a large income. His wife is a cousin of the wife of the Commodore. She is a Mobile lady and has relatives in Columbus. Professor Luptou and Dr. Garland, Professors of this University, have gone to Hiurope to study the different systems there. ; Tennessee has also raised $200,- 000 for the University. The design is to make it a grand institution in every respect. It is called Vander- bilt University .-Columbus Enquirer. (Innd Indians.

It was envy thatTTobbed poor Nabotu of his - vineyard, and added murder to the JhefU It was envy thatTled the guilty Absalom to desire thethroue of his father Day id. It destroys all that is best and noblest in character. So subtle is . it in its workings that we learn on the highest testimony that 'ehvy v is rottenness of the bones;" it eats out all honor and manliness; it gives sleepless nights aud restless -days. Moreover, envy is utterly useless ; it helps nobody, it effects noalteration. it wins no goal. As we read in Job, it slayeth the silly one ;" and all sensible people must feel that there is marvellous silliness iu envy. , i j- But if the indulgence of envy does us no good, it is calculated to do other people much barm. Every passion tends to incarnation in some -way. Evil emotion turns to action, aud becomes embodied in ignoble deeds ! So deceitful is envy in its operation, and so successful in its harm, that the question is asked iu Scripture, " Who can 8tandTefore envy T" It undermines the very grouud you are standing upon; it breathes inueudoes against your character aud reputation, which, ; light .is air to utter, are strong as r iron and sharp as steel to do you damage. Yes, envy will depreciate the character it cannot publicly de fame; is will explain virtues to be vices in disguise; it will sneer with the lip and stab with the sugges tion of an evil hint in your absenccvr whilst in your presence J it will ad mire and applaud. ; - That the envious pay the penalty in their own misery does not- miti gate tbewTong they do to others.. It does help, indeed, to vindicate the ways of God to man, as it shows us the divine hand dispensing, even in this world, to each men accord ing to his sin I But the misery they feel does not atone; for the misery they inflict. Envy is one of the basest of passions : it is the essence of devilism. By iti Satan lost his seat in heaven ; and by it men and women have,, through the long centuries, sinned and suffered in endless ways. Quiver. - Harry' Chiokens. ; Sammy Brent " lived! way down South," and was just as full of mis chief as a boy of thirteen could be. One evening he came home after a ramble throngh the woods aiuL ty the river, and asked his brother Harry, who was eight years young er than himself. -1 "Harry, wouldn't you like to have some funny chickens V " I'm just sure I would," answered Harry. j - " Well, you take these three eggs -and put them in a box of sand and set in the sun, and' after a while you'll have three; of, the funniest chickens you ver saw." j Harry followed his brother's di rections, and morning, noon and" night he might be seen watching for his brood, to" poke 'their bills up ont of the sand.
