GRAND SECRET OF MASONRY. .
The following incident needs neither preface nor
comment. . It speaks for itself:
On a visit to a neighboring city recently, I call
ed at the house of my friend B -, with
whom 1 had been long and intimately acquainted.
To my astonishment, I found his lady reading a
Masonic paper. I asked her what chntrge bad
come over her, that she should not only admit such
a paper to her house, but sit down to its perusal;
for I knew her father's family was among the
most vindictive, bitter, proscriptive 'anti-Masons,
that ever left the infected district of New York.
She replied, that fhe had discovered the grand se
cret of Masonry; and if it wonld be agreeable lo
me, she would relate how she tame to make the
discovery. I requested Insr to proceed, which she
did as follows :
" Soon after yon left here last fall, I learned (o
my extreme mortification, that my husband had be
come a Mason. 1 attributed it to your influence,
aod I need not say what my feelings were toward
you or my husband. I at once came to the con
clusion that my domestic happiness was u4 an end ;
but I resolved that my conduct in the relations of
wife and mother, should see that I had done all a
woman -could, do.. Some three or four months af
ter 1 learned my husband had joined the Masons, a
circumstance occurred that, for the first time, gave
me any reason to doubt his integrity." It was one
of the coldest nights of last winter, that my hus
band returned at a late hour, and said tome,
"Marffaret, cannot you do without vonr blanket
shawl ?" I replied that I could. lie asked me to
get it for him, and bring him a bedspread or com
forter. I handed the articles to him, and he imme
diately left the house. .My first thoughts were lo
follow him, I went to the window, and Ly t!.o
liglttorh the lamps I discovered another man with
a large basket the shawl and comforter were pla
ced in it, and they both soon disappeared. My
husband returned in about half an hour. I ex
pected 'in the morning as a matter of course, he
would have some stry prepared to explain his
mysterious conduct, but not a word did I get ont of
him. I determined to keep a sharp look mil for
my shawl, for if I could once get iny eyes on. that,
I would be., able to unravel the whole mystt ry.
It was not longnfter.as I was in the. street, that -a
female whisked along past me, tipon v!iom I dis
covered my shawl! The good for nothing huzzy !
thought I; while a glow of triumph thrilled every
nerve, and quickened my pace in the pursuit. I
followed her closely from one street to another in-
to the fourth story of a bindery. I saw tier very
composedly lay aside my shawl and sit down lo her
work where, urged on by that insatiable desire to
get the clue to my husband's perfidy, I soon learn
ed the street, the number of her residence, and im
mediately left for it.' I was not mistaken, neither,
for I saw my comforter there. The whole secret
flashed on my mind at once, as clearly as if it had
been written with a sunbeam from Heaven.
There I found a widowed mother in the fast stages
nf v,ino,iinntinn anil three children nVnfindent nn-!
on the scanty pittance earned by the elder sister,)
Whom 1 had so stispiclously followed. I learned
from the lips of the dying woman a lesson, 'that m
all my philosophy I had never dreamed of such a
tale of sorrow as I had never before listened to
and when she had related the deed of charity, that
had been the cause of all my unhapriness, I felt
that there was not room in my bosom to appreciate
the disinterested benevolence of my husband. She
said ' I da not know how we could have lived but
for tho kindness of two' persons who came here
late one night, and left a basket-filled with provis
os and some bed clothes, shawl and five dol-
1 irs. They just opened tho door, and set in tho
basket, saying: 'Accept this, and ask tie ques
tions;' and left before I had time to inquire even
their names. I do not know who they were ; and
I have had some doubts from where these things
cam. But I never forget in my daily prayers to
Him who openoth His hand and fillelh the poor
with bread, to ask if these were men, Ho will
keep them and theirs from the sorrows with which
I am visited. , I left the house a better woman than
when I entered it." '
" Bui tho grand secret of Masonry," said I, " I
thought you were to tell what it is." .
She replied, " It ia this to do good, and not to
un of u r . ' . . . ; : '
DEVELOPMENT OF THE LUNGS.
The following commendable hints are from Dr.
Fitch's lato work .: : ;. . , ..
Much has been said and written upon diet, eat
ing and drinking ; but I do not recollect ever noti
cing a remark in any writer upon breathing, or C.e
manner of breathing. They suppress their breath
ing, and coiitract the habit of short, quick breath
ing, not carrying the breath half way down the
chest, and scarcely expanding the lower portions
of tb cheat at U. Lacing tho- boftom of the
chest also increases this evil, and confirms a bad
habit of breathing. Children that mevo about a
great ileal in the open ahr, and in no way laced,
breathe deep and full to th bottom of the chest,
and every part of it. So also with the mot out
door laborers, and persons who take a great deal
of exercise in the open air, because the longs give
as the power of action, and tho more" exercise wo
take, especially out of doors, the larger the lungs
become, and tlie less liable to disease. - In all oc
cupations that reqnire yon to stand, Iteep ths per
son straight. It at a table, let it bo high, raised
tip nearly lo the armpits, so as not to require yon
to stoop yon will find the employmnt much easi
ernot one-half so fatiguing J whilst, the form if
the thest!) the yrnmrtTy of tlie fignre, will ra
ms iu perfert. Yon hatre noticed thatj vast ; num
ber of tall ladies stoop, whilst a, great iany short
ones are straight. This aTises, I think, from the

A large portion of this Land abounds 'n Juniper,
Cypress and other valuable Timber, for which tV- for

TFsuffi.'iently supporteil, the subscriber intends to
- publish a monthly pas-r of eight pages, for th
purpose bf diffusing information ,n the subject of
education with tho especial view of inipruving
the character of our Common Schools.
It is intended to give an account, drawn from
the public documents and other sources, of the or
igin and progress of our Common School system,
to compare it with that of other States here and
in Europe, thus noting our improvement over for
mer years and suggesting the means of overcom
ing the defects and difficulties tinder which we still
labor. This will lead us to investigate the sonrces
from which school funds are derived, the modes nf
their application, the preservation of order in
schools, the election of proper books for study, the
recreation suitable for the pupils, the treatment xc
ceesary for different dispositions, ic.
And believing that the State which would im
prove its schools must first improve its teachers, a
portion of our columns will be devoted to the ques-.
tions How are our schools to be supplied with
competent teachers f How is the standard of ed
ucation to be raised, and the services of a band
secured who are well qualified to go forth and in
the spirit of love, labor for the advancement of the
children who are phced under their charge ?
But Education is a word of very extensive mean
ing.and although the primary object of the publi
cation may frequently take ns into the school
room, wejdo not intend to be always confined there.
Our subject matter is the human mind and the in
fluences good and bail, with a view of preventing
the one and strengthening the other w hich can
lie brought to operate iqion it. That this is a the mrjnf
the deepest moment none can deny. Itgnisps the in
tercMts not of this world only it reaches through
I eternity. e shall not hesitate then as occasion
may demand, to enter the family circle, to placo
ourselves on the streets or mingle in the busy
crowd and there set forth the rules of life nn'd
principles of conduct which we believe will pro
mote the good of our race horo and redound to our ;
everlasting welfare in the life which is to come.
The publication will. lie. commenced in GreeNs-
Isiro', so soon as a sufficient number of suhscribers
ran lie obtained to defray t'le expenses of printing
to bo printed on fair type, at 50 cents a year,
payable on the receipt of 'the first number.
lie-tiers relating to the paper may lie directed
(post paid) to Nereus Mendenhall, Jamestown,
Guilford county, N. C. . -
Subscription also received at tlie Patriot Office.
The papers of the State, and others friendiy to
the cause of Education are requested to publish or
