For a laugh will often save one from doing

Mrs. Aldworth ia the heroine of this leg
end. Sho is paid to have received, about
the j'-ur 1 ",'!.', tho first aud second de
grees of Freemasonry in Lodge No. 44,
Dutieraile, Ireland.
Mrs. Aldworth, nee Elizabeth St. Led
ger, was the youngest child and only
daughter of the first Viscount Doneraile
of Ireland. The lodge in which she was
sitting i nun ply ol the gentry and tnoi-t
respectab'e and wealthy inhabitants of
the country around Doncrailu. The com
munications were usually held iu town,
but during the nnstershipof Lord Done
raile, briither of Mrs Aldwoitb, the meet
ings were held at Donerailo 1 louse, bis
residence. Speucer relates the story of
a nlTair.-
"lt baipened on ibis particular occa
sion that the bulge was bold in a room
separated from anolbei by stud and bliek
work. The young lady, being giddy anil
thoughllc-s, determined to gratify her eu
rioHly, and made arrangi meiits accord
ingly. With a pair of scissors (us she
bcrrclf relatid to the mot her of our in
!ur;ii;ml ) she removed a portion of the
brick from thu wall, and placed herself so
as to command a full view of ever)lhiug
which occurred in the next reom. She
thus witnessed the first two degrets in
Masonry, which was the extc nt of ihe
proceedings of the lodge that night.
Heconiing aware Irotn what she heard
that the brethren were about to separat
sho felt alive to the awkwardness i.nd
dang r of her situation, aud began to
consider how sho could retire without
observation. She trccame nervous and ag
itated and nearly fainted, hut so far re
covered herself as to be fully aware of the
necessity of withdrawing as cpiickly as
possible. Being iu the dark she stumbled
and overthrew something a chair or
some oruauienlul piece of furniture. Tho
crash was loud, and the tyler, who was
on the lobby or landing on which o(k ncd
the doors built of the lodge ruuiu and
that where the young lady was, gave the
alarm, burst open the doot, and, with
a liL'ht iu one hand a sword in the other,
appeared to tho terrified and fainting la
dy, lie was soon joined by the members
of the lodge present, and luckily, for it is
asserted but for tho appearauee of her
brother, Lord Doucrnilc, aud other cool
iDcuibcra, her life would have fallen a sac
rifice, to what was then esteemed her
criuie. The first care of Lord Uonoruili
was to resuscitato the uuforiuiiatn lady
without alarming tho house, tod endeav
or Ui learn frotu her an explanation of
hat had occurred. Having done this
many of the members being furious at
tho transaction, she was placed under
guard uf the tyler and a member in the
room where (he was found. The mem
bers re assembled aud deliberated as to
what was to be dune,
"For over two hour she could hear
the angry discussion and her death delib
erately proposed and seconded. At
length the good sense of the majotiiy
succeeded in calming in some measure
the angry and irritated feelings of the
members. It was resolved to give her
the option of submitting to the Masonic
ordeal to the ex'ent she lad witnessed
(fellowcraft) and if she refused the breth
ren wore again to oonsult. Miss St. Led

-M.AJJ. THOMAS L. EMRT.
SENATOR T. L. EftW.
The subject of ibis sketch was born
in l'etcrsburg, Va , on December I Sib,
1842. In his early youth he bad to
contend with all the adverse circumstances
that beset a child left an orphan and
penniless at six years of age. Hut iu the
boy there were the germs that have since
developed into the successful busiuess
man ; and, impelled by the desire to excel,
which is the marked characteristic of the
man, we soon see him, alone ami unsup
ported, beginning life's battle. Gener
ous and impulsive he soon began to make
friends, and to his credit bo it said his
earliest one is to-day bis truest fiiend.
Iu 1S5U Major Kniry moved tu Hali
fax in this county and engaged in the
1 1 ado of a tinner, having before then
served an apprcmictsbip at tho same in
bis native city under Messrs. Hooth aud
Soiutuers. Hut he was not long to re
main in bis new home. On the 20th
day of December lSuO South Carolina
severed her connection with tho I'uion
The tocsin of war was heard wilbin her
borders, nnd Tom Etnry, then a mere
boy, juiutd I ho tith South Carolina Hegi
ment, aud in ranks was preseut and wit
nessed tho bombardment of Sumter. In
July IStll his regiment was ordered to
Virgiuia and reached the battlo field of
Manassas on the evening of July 22nd,
just as the I'uion army was swallowed up
in confusion and defeat. With the tith
South Carolina he afterwards participa
ted in the fight at Drancsvillc and with
that regiment took his share of the beat
ing revived by his command.
In the full of 1S01 be asked and ob
tained a trauslVr to the 2nd, afterwards
the 12th, N. C, Col. Sol. Williams' regi
ment, and rejoiued tho Halifax Light
Infautry, it volunteer organization lu
which ho belonged prior to the war.
With the 12th N. C, he remained till
disabled by wounds and assigned tu de
tail duty. With ihe 12lb N. C , he en
gaged ill the fighls around liiohmond,
known iu history as the seven days bal
tin In ono of these battles, Malvern
Hill, be was commended on tho field by
his Urigadior General, (lurland, (wh
fell at Soulh Mountain) lor his conspic
uous gallantry. He was then promoted
and in special orders was congratulated
in front of bis regirueut for gallant con
duet, flic following is an extract from
general orders : "It is gMtifyingtoknow
that the bravery of some was without
precedent. The noble daring of private
T. L. Kiury won ihe admiration of all bis
command, be having seized the flag nnd
rushed through a shower of bullets to the
brow of the hill and there stood defiant
ly waving it in the enemy's face until it
and staff were cc in letely riddled with
bullets." This order was signed by Col.
U. 0. Wade, tommandiug the regiment,
and John T. Gregory ailing adjutant
Gen. Garland's order was still more com
pliuj- ntary. In the rest of the war Ik
was on light duties, having bo;u inca
pacitated for tetive service by wouuds.
In IStio ha returned to Halil'nx and
engaged in a general mercantile busiuess,
aud began the battlo of peaco with the
lime emrgy and pluck he had given to
the battles of bis native South.
lu 1MII9 ho came to Wcldon and be

her leading spirits iu every euterpriie
ten-ling to build up (lie tualciiul prosper

Weldun siuee IHTd, except one term,
being supp Tied by her citizens wirh an
unanimity almost unheard of and with
out regard to oo'or or polities. In lonti
Major Kiury was olootud by thu Hoard
of Magistrates one of the County Com
missiuners, which position he held till
called by the unauimous Voice of the
Dctuucracy of the county to lea l v hat
most men considered a forlorn ho; e against
the cntrcached legions of Ucpubncauisut.
But the word fail is not found in Major
Entry's vocabulary. Ho went into the
fight to win, aud the majority rolled up
f T the Democratic ticket tells how well
his work was doue; aud ouht to leach our
party friends everywhere how much may
be accomplished by work persistently and
tntclligcnlly performed.

HIS CAREER.
Some five years ago uniuy people who
happened to pass a certain newspaper
ofhee might have noticed a bright faced
lad of about 12 years of age. who kept
his eye on lire entrance to the counting
room. Whenever any oue issued from
die ofliec, if a growu person, thu boy
would address him, with an eager glance:
"Are you lookin' for a boy, sir?"
Ho came ou duly every morning early,
fresh, bright, cheerful, and apparently
undismayed by the uubrokeu current uf
"noes'' that flowed by him. In a week
ho disappeared. Last week, while the
miter was cbaltiug with the manager of
one of the largest wholesale establishments
in the west, a bright, active young fel
low, with checks full of color and eyes
shining with good uaturc nnd eagerness,
caino up and handed the manager a pa
per. It was the lad who had atoorl be
fore the newspaper office in search of a
man who wauled a boy.
"Who ia lhat lad ? He teems above
the aviiiiiio."
"1 picked bitu off the sidewalk in front
of a newspajicr office, lie is one of the
brightest, quickest and most faithful of
the boys iu ibis cstabli-hmcnt. Some
day he will be at the head of some big

JOURNALISTS.
BY nil I, NYE,
Taking off the coat and vest and let
ting down tho suspenders in ord -r to
write burning thoughts is gradually be
coming uiorc obsolete as Women koeomo
more and more identified with journal
ism. A man may, if he will, just as
easily sit erect, throw out his elioit, and
pull in his tongue, as lo cultivate oooen
trii'illes and seek to attract ulteution by
assuming odd altitudes while at work.
I know a good, scathing writer who goes
into bis office about ten o'clock, locks the
door, takes off most of bis clothes, being
wrapped up in thought most exclusively,
sits on the fourth lumbar vertebra, braces
his heels against tho wall little above
bis head, and as he works he screws the
nails of his boot heels into the hard wall
harder and harder as he goes on. One
day last summer, while working with un
usual vigor ou an editorial in relation to
the over attractive, bright oyed earner
iu tho Crowti Prince's throat, he wassur
prised to see thirty or forty g ild coins
fall on his table like a blessed advance in
his sj'ary. Looking up he discovered
that with bis heel he had bored a hole
into the vault uf the First .National Bank,
next room. Carefully poking back the
money, he pasted a sheet of paper over
the hole and marking it "Opened by mis
take," he put his heels against the drum
of a light sorrel coal stove aud went on
with his work.

THE WANT OF ALL ACES.
It is a man's destiny still to lo roug
ing for something, and tho gratification
of one set, of wishes but prepares the un-
iiitislicd soul for tho conception of anolh
er. The child of a year wants little food
and sleep, nnd no sooner is ho supplied
ith a sufficient allowance of either than
ho lienors whimpering, or yelling it may
be, for the other. At three the young
urchin becomes enamored of sugar plums,
applu pics and confectionery. At six
bis imagination runs upon kites, marbles
and play time. At ten the boy wants to
leave school and have nothing to do but
go bird nesting and blackberry burning.
At fifteen ho wants a beard, a watch
and a pair of Wellington boots. At
twenty he wishes to cut a figure aud ride
horses; sometimes his thirst for di-play
breaks out iu dandyism, and sometimes
in poetry; ho wants sadly to bo in love
and takes it for granted all the ladies arc
dyiug for him. The young man of
twenty-live wants a wife; and at Ih'uty
he longs to be single again. From thir
ty to forty ho wants to be rich, aud
thinks more of making money than spend
in" it. At fifty ho wants excellent din
ners and capital wine, and a nap in
the afternoon. The respectable old geu
tleman of sixty wants to retire from bus
iness with a snug independence, to marry
off his daughters and live in the country;
and then fur the rest of his life he wants
lube youug again.

discreditable to their humanity. One
stmts sometimes with horror to see the

among men er womcu, who can boldly
assert themselves, at those moments when
they are nearest heaven, in ibe face of
dissent, or indilTerenca, or ridicule. Too
often our good angul covers bis face and

CARRIER'S ADDRESS.
A merry Christmas to you, Friend,
And a happy New Year, too;
May you enjoy all they send,
Is my hearty wisll for you.
This joyous lime has once more
Come round to ns ugain;
Ami it comes ulike to rich and poor,
As the sunshine and the ntiu.
To some, willr joy 'mill ever Oil,
A life already full,
And make the Kir III sei-in brighter still,
When ne'er ynt 'twas dull.
To others 'tis an oasis grneii,
In the world's drill stony soil,
And marking only a rcsliug-pluco,
In a lite of barren toil.
This year has lives! its numbered days,
Ail I joined time's endless store;
And its grid's and joys arc added too,
To those that are gone bct'oro.
Our grand and gloriuns Clevelaud,
A Kina; ol' Naturu's make,
Has saeiiliccd llis party,
For truth and honor's suko.
All honor to liirn, all llru same,
He did as be thought rilit;
He's a partner in his country's fame,
And renders it more bright.
All honor to Ihe Old North State,
From mountains to Hie sea,
.She's proved her sons wero liemocruts
Whate'er else they lie.
Ho we'll sing the uld year to its rest,
And give welcome to tho new.
We'll laugh and shout with boyish zest,
And welcome Christmas too.
If you nro fortune-favored, friend,
And oil Christmas joys revel,
Spare a moment, now and then,
To think of the printer's "devil."
Every week of Hie dying year,
Has fuund him serving yotl,
And now he comes with Christmas cheer,
To see what you will do.
If you, like him, have worked for nought,
And have no cash to pay,
Return his greeting as you ought,
And Bend him on his way.
But if you can afford a mite,
No matter what it is,
May fortune make your Christmas bright,
As you will brighten his.

DON'T RIDICULE THEM.
There is so great a charm in the spor
tive play of fancy and wit that there is
no danger of their being neglected or un
dervalucd, or that the native talent fur

Wo may satirize error, but we must
compassionate erring, and this we must
always teach by example to children, not
only in what we say of otherr before
them, but in our treatment of themselves.
We should never use ridicule toward
llieui, except when it isetidently so gooi
n itured that its nature cannot be mist
ken. Thu agony which a sensitive child
feels on beili'' held un before others as an
object of ridicule, even fur a trifling error,
a mistake or peculiarity, is not soon for
cotton nor easily forgiven. Y hen we
wish, therefore, to oxcite contrition for
serious fault, ridicule should never bo
employed, as the feelings il raises are di
reedy opposed to self -reproach.
