part, that we would never divulge hit name.
We shall keep our promise sacredly. Mr.
Jenks took a a'otiaa to join, and bis lady be
,Dg in the habit of wearing the unmentiona
bles would uotcoaaeat without tbe promise
recorded below :
Wry well Mr. Jenks, you know my opin
ion of secret societies.
Perfectly, my dear, perfectly, said our
friend, thrusting his bands iu his pockets.
And you unjoin ?
Don't you think it best!
No, sir, once for all, 1 do not.
Consider, my dear, if you should be left a
widow, with nothing to support
Now what a ridiculous argument. You
suppose, Mr. Jenks .,v
My, dear 1
Mr. Jenks I - " :
Will you listen, for a moment?
Certain!.
Well then, much as I respect jour wishes,
and you know 1 love you dearly, it will be
impossible for me to oblige you in tbia in
stance. I have sent in my document, and to
night am to be initiated.
Mrs. Jenks op aed ber handsome eyes in
amazement, and for a moment lost in won
der. And so you're actually going to be initia
ted? Yes, my dear.
Well, will you tell me all about it when
you come home ?
Perhaps to.
Comforted with this assurance, tbe lady
offertd no further opposition, and our hero
look his departure. About the boar of
eleven be returned, a wiser, if not a better
min.
Well, my dear, exelaimed Mrs. Jenks,
hat did the? do to you what was it like
were you much frightened ?come,couie, tell
me all about it.
Don't ask me, gravely laid our
friend, I
beg you won t ask me.
Wby not! I'm your wife you know, and
wife and husband are one. - Wby not 1

The patriarch of the lost tribes. Even now

Mercy on us, ejaculated Mia. Jenks, bow
you terrify a body. I-l-M-sbiv shiver all
orer.
If you don't wish to be killed outright, ask
do mure questions.
Surely you can tell me something about it
an idea or two .that wouldu't be divulging
you kuow.
What if you should, in an unguarded mo
ment, let the secret out!
Ob, trust me, it will be safe in my keeping.
You will never tell f

Not even to your great grand-mother 1
You know how gossipy some old ladies are.
I'll never opea my mouth on the subject
Hark 1 exclaimed Jenks with a theatrical
start beard you nothing!
Nothing, replied bit wife, with unfeigned
alarm.
Twas only the wind, routed our fnend. I
thought it might be tbe patriarch or bis grand
bosiuw, armed with bis circuuiventor, cover
ed with curious devices by the order. Now
listen, and if you love me for tbe sacrifice 1
am about to make is srreat and vou must
seal vour lips forever on this subject.

On my arrival at tbe hall, I wat immedi.
lely seized by about four dozen smart fel
lows and taken upon tbe roof of the building
Here I was toogue tied and compelled to air
swer about a hundred questions, all having a
direct bean off on tbe science of astronomy
What a queer proceeding, exclaimed Mrs.
Jenks.
How 1 answered the questions roust ever
remain a mystery to myself certain it is,
however, I did answer every one although
1 did not know until to-night that there was
great bear, and a dipper, and chair, and a
four horse team, and 1 don't know what else
in the skv. Is it not a pitv that this beauti
ful science is to neglected.
Well. well, what then ?
Wby tbe next question is tooabssrd to be
repeated.
What was it?
They wanted to know if I took a newtpa
per. and if so, bow much I owed the printer
Well, I never! exclaimed Mrs. JenksT what

Exactly. But scarcely bad I answered
satisfactorily, when an immense flame abot

What through tbe root?
Oh, no, I suppose we took the stairs, hot 1

into which 1 was usbered was pitch dark,
nd a strong odor of brimstone pervaded the
room.
Brimstone, my dear ?
Yes, it must have been brimstone, for no
thing else could have caused so stifling a ten-
Uhon.

Then began tbe roar of artillery with an
occasional volley of small arms. In tbe

How very. odd.
Yes, but just like those Odd Fellows, re
plied our friend, they are real reformers.
Well, my dear!
Why, then, lights were procured, and I
signed the constitution.
Well, what of tbe cat of which you were
speaking
Oh, nothing, my dear, only Ihey let her
out, and for a minute or two she appeared
quite bewildered. It was the first time I uad
seen the cat let out of the bag. But what
struck me with the greatest awe was the re
appearance of tbe patriarch of the lost tribes
and liis double jointed bashaw, who in a loud
voice continually said Life is short pre
pare for that which is to come. Let all men
have charity, and Ioe their neighbors as
themselves, when upon the grand patriarch,
armed with tbe tail end of his great grand
fathers authority, arose and impressively
adjourned the meeting.
Well I declare, ejaculated Mrs. Jenka and

you a profound secret, said Jenks, with a
half smothered chuckle, as he buried his

THE GRAVES OF THOSE WE LOVE.
BT WASHINGTON IRVING.
The grave is the ordeal of true affection.
It is there tbe divine passion of tbe 'aoul
manifests its superiority to the instinctive
impulse of mere animal attachment. The
latter must be continually refreshed and kept
alive by the presence of its object ; but the
iove that is sealed in the soul can live on
long remembrance. The mere inclinations
of se nfe languish and decline with the charms
that excited tliem, and turn with shuddering
and disgust from the dismal precincts of the
tomb ; but it is ther.ee that truly spiritual
affection rises purified from every sensual
desire, and returns like a holy flame, to il
lumine and sanctify the heart oi tne survi
vor. The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow
Nfrom which we refuse to be divorced. Everv
othr wound we seek to heal every olher
affliction to forget ; but this wound we con
sider a duty to keep open. Where is the mutli
er who would willingly forget the infant that
perished like a blossom in ber arms, though
every recollection is a pang ? Where is the
child who would most willingly forget the
friend over whom he mourns T Who, even
when the tomb is closing upon the remains
of his most loved, when he feels his heart as
it were crushed in the closing of its portal,
would accept consolation that must be bought
by foreetfulness 1 No tbe love which sur
vives the tomb is one of the noblest attribu
tes of tbe soul.
If it has woes, it has likewise its delights;
and when tbe overwhelming buret of grief
is calmed into the gentle t-ar of recollect inn
when the suoden anguish and the convul
sive agony over the present ruins of all that
we most love r, is softened away into pensive
meditation on all that was ir. the days of
loveliness who would root out such sorrow
from the bear! 1 Though it may sometimes
ibrow a passing cloud over the bright hours
of gaiety or spread darker shades o'er l.he
hour of gloom yet who would exchange it
even for the song of pleasure, or the burst of
revelry 7 No. There is a voice from the
tomb sweeter than song. There is a remem
brance of the dead to which we turn evtn
from tbe charms nf the living. Oh, the grave!
it buries eery errorcovers every defect,
and extinguishes everv resentment ! From
the peaceful bosom spring none but fond re
grets and tender recollection?. Who can
look down upon the grave even of an enemy
and not feel a compunctious throb, that be
should ever have warred with the. poor band.
ful of earth that lies before him ?
But the graves of those we love-what a
place of meditation 1 There it is that we
call uo iu Ion? review the whole history of
virtue and gentleness, and the thousand en
dearments lavished upon us almost unheeded
in the daily intercourse of intimacy ; tbere
it is that the tenderness of the parting scene,
tbe bed of death ! with all its stifled grief!
ts noiseless attendance ! its mute, watch
ful assiduities ! the last testimonial of ex
piring love ! the feeble, fluttering, thrilling
b ! how thrilling pressure oi tfle nana I
the last fond look of the gating eye, turning
upon us eveti from the threshold of existence!
the faint, faltering accents struggling in
death to give one more, assurance oi anec-
tion.
Ay, to go to the grave of buried love, and
meditate! there settle tne accounts wun
thy conscience for every past endearment
unregarded, of that departed being wbo can
never, never return to be soothed by true
