We are not judged by hi is. nor is this the measuring i'nse by which the profane form an estimate of us. The standard of measurement is something that is more permanent in its el- f.'cts. We are known and judged oyo-in deeds. There can be but one standard of measurement, and by this ev ery Mason must either stand or fall. .That this is time, none call in question, "For every tree is known by his own fruit." This plain, common-sense statement in ust be accepted. "By their .fruits ye shall know them." Our Masonry is worth nothing to us Unless we live i t U n fulli lied pledges are valueless forgood, and bring Willi theurnothing but disappointment. They are the s -eds whose harvest is distrust.

Pap.ay why don't they call women teachers 'Professor, like thev do men teachers?" We leave this for some one else to answer, as we have - never seen as many "Prof essors'7 as bear the name any how. Scotland Neck Democrat. President Jackson's Advice. Presiden t Andrew Jackson was imperious. He had both a 'dispo sition to command and a fitness for commanding These traits sometimes showed themselves in a manner that was exacting and overbearing. But he was also kind, sympathetic, and even con side rate. The Hon. It. W. Thorn p soiv of Indiana, in his "Personal Recollections of Sixteen Presi dents," tells a' story which exhib its" the kindly side of Jacksons character. While Mr. Thompson was a lad he accompanied his father to the White House to call upon Presi dent Jackson. Thompson Senior was a friend of Jackson, and though not a politician, supported the President's political principles- and acts. But Thompson Junior did not agree with his father in )olities, and with the in-. depondnce of "Young America, " refused to step in his father's po litical footsteps. The Junior Thompson, though he had dreaded an interview with one whose sobriquet of 'Old Hick ory" was so suggestive of the 4 Cross-rojidsSchoolhouse, "found both pleasure and profit in listen ing to the conversation more the talk of friends than of politic ians between the Presidont and his father. But while he was thinking how he could retain the thoughts expressed by the "old hero, " his father suddenly upset him by saying: "Mr. President, my son is in clined to disagree with nie in pol itics," and I fear that in the fu ture our opinions will conflict.". Young Thompson was .embar rassed. He thought the Presi dent WOllld lecture him upon dis obedience to parental instruction. But his apprehension was re moved when President Jackson, laying his hand upon the nervous lad's head, said in a voice as gen tle as a woman's : "My son, I have no advice to give you about your, politics,' ex cept this always think for your self, and let conscience be your guide." The boy was deeply impressed. The advice helped to make him a "politician" in" 'the.' higher sense of that degraded word. It did more; it gave him a glimpse of the man Jackson. So effective was this cross-light in exhibiting the difference .between the leader of a party,'.-. and the judicial man that Mr. Thompson says: "From that moment until now I have held him in such estima tion that during sixteen presi dential campaigns in which I have taken an active part in opposition to the political principles he pro fessed, I have never allowed my self to be betrayed into an ex pression of u nkiudness towards him. but have "invariably, uponall suitable occasions, defended the honesty, integrity and patriotism of his motives." The advice President Jackson gave young Thompson was good then and is good now. The young man who follows it may some times err for human thoughts are not infallible, and the human conscience is like a grain of buck wheat its edges may be worn by friction. But Jackson's advice suggests .that a man's best guide in politics js thought that in volves the consideration of . facts and laws 4ind the moral sense w 1 rich ' say s to a m a nl 'You ou gh t to do only that which is right." JThe present writer once asked Amos Kendall, Jackspn'sintimate f riend, to. tell him in a word the secret of the extraordinary influ ence which Jackson exerted on the people. "Sir, "he answered, "sincemy, ivitrinficm jiTid the ieoi)les be lief in him." Jho .Youth's Companion. Rev. Wm. Grant as a Grang - er and Farmer. We, the undersigned, were re quested at our County Grange on 2.3 id April" to write of out lament ed Jb rother Grant as a farmer and faithful Granger. , Others have spoken and 'written of him many eulogistic things as a Ch ristian mi nister, Mason and county officer, acting cheerfully and efficiently in the many capac ities,, where his services were de manded; but comparatively little has been said of him as a man very, much concerned about agri culture or as an enthusiastic Granger." :; ::-: : We don ' t recollec I seeinga word said of his many speeches, of his sacrifices made in attending coun ty and S tate ra ee ti ngs of ou r or der where he was so much hon ored and placed on important committees. : &c., urging the til lers of the soil to organize to make themselves familiar with the prin ciples and aims of Grangerisnv constantly insisting that if these we re undo r stood and practiced, would place farmers on as high a plane " of respectability, intelli gence, refinement and morality; and that farmers, their wives, sons and daughters would soon realize and feel that in all the domestic and home life that they would be recognized and honored as much as persons engaged'in any of the industries of our Amer ican country. Even as men in the highest positions in the Stater and church, down to the humblest vocations engaging the brain, muscle and heart of all whoaspire to be great and useful to their fellow-men. HE WAS PRACTICAL AND EASILY UNDEIISTOOD. To-day wo asked his nephew, how it was with him in the vigor of his young manhood and he said that, "Uncle Bill did notonly plan and direct on his farm, but in the long years gone by, would in per son with his bovs and servants - - . - - take hold himself and execute his plans, showing how to guide the plough and pulljhe hoe ; had blacksmith tools and carpenter tools and shops, doing often black smith work, framing ploughs and mending up his farm utensils when needed. " It is pleasant to remember that several of his sons are good farm ers. One of his sons said a few years ago, "When a farm house was to be slipped, when fat hogs were to be slaughtered, or any farm work to be done requiring a number of hands, it was amusing and interesting tosee how suc cessfully Pa would boss the hands and dispatch such jobs on the farm." On last Tuesday at County Grange several brethren were heard to say, 4 'How ve ry much we miss brother Grant." Months ago he was unanimously elected as Master of the Grange for this year, and was to have been in stallecf on Tuesday, and all this against his remonstrances, ; he stating that he was old, that his health was failing, &c Alas ! we are to see his white locks no more, never to hear his counsel or wit ness his enthusiasm in our halls. Now f riends, knowing this. let us as patrons double our efforts to get some one to manifest Zealand promptness as did our Brother in making our order popular and usefuL being careful in keeping politics and other subjects from aarring the peace of our order.

" Thei r Christian bearing and influence has been commendable, and their land and gentle dealing and inter course, has greatly endeared them to the people and the Mis sion. ; In thus parting with them and their servicesjwe desire for them that measure of success and prosperity, '.which we are confi dent, their efforts will merit On behalf of the Comm.

Lahaska, Pa. to be continued, Well Said. Some one remarked that edu cational work is not so well done now as it was. And in truth one happens upon many college grad ates who can hardly spell, and cannot write a paragraph. We do not know if this has not been true ever since colleges became so numerous and graduates so abundant; but we are sure that methods of teaching have been greatly i ru proved so greatly, in fact, that it almost amounts to a revolution. . ' The trouble is not with the teaching, but in sending young men to college before they are prepared, making them try to compose Latin before they can wiite in English. These same young men find themselves after graduating unnt to do any genu- ne work, and .forthwith deter- mine to urop uown 10 scuooi teacliing with no ideal at ail and no aim except to make a living until an owning apix.ars, or to get experience. A man who teaches school as a ast resort, is a fraud, as big a fraud as the merchant who de ceives his customers by putting rock dust in his flour. A man should not be permitted to drop down to school-teaching; if any thing, it must be a step up. The nan who goes into this work for experience is an impostor, and he will cet a sad lot more 01 experi ence than he set out for. The men and women who are teaching be cause thay are tilted for the work and because they have chosen it for their iife-woric are as a nue very poorly paid, and the reason is to bo found in the competition of fellows who use the profession or a makeshift or a launching So, unfit teachers not only re tard the development of their pu- )ils, but degrade the profession and crowd out the better fitted.
