JANIE BROWN’S VACATION IN_THE COUNTRY. BY HANNAH 1I0PPKR. “Muriel,” said Janie gravely, “let me take Daisy with me to Mrs. Allen’s. Please now do not talk about it’s taking part of my for ty dollars, for I can enjoy half the time enough to make up for the whole six weeks which 1 was iatending to stay.” “Dear Janie, this is very kind and noble in you,” said Muriel, with tears in her eyes, and perhaps I can pay you sometime.” Janie stood upon the deck of the steamer ‘!Ncw London,” with the slender hand ofthe blind girl clasped in hers, and waved an adieu to Muriel, who stood on the warf with | tears of joy in her eyes that Daisy was to j spend a few weeks in the beautiful country, and when the steamer was far out iu ftie sound she turned away and walked back to her work with no feeling of sellishness in her heart, and all the three weeksthat Daisy was gone she felt happier in thinking how the blind sister was enjoying the fresh country air. In the meantime Janie arrived with her charge at the cottage nestled in a bower of roses and vines on the banks of the Thames river, and the happy smile on the blind girl’s lips, and the soil Hush on her cheek repaid Janie for her sacrifice. Not far from the pretty quiet cottage stood* grand and stately mansion with a beautiful green lawn in front and a fountain trickling its pure water into a bed of sea shells. Janie and Daisy often stopped at the iron gate to watch the cool water, which, in the sunlight seemed like a myriad of diamonds and costly gems.

If you mention Tlic Lack of Moral Principle. Noah Webster, in one of his definitions of “principle,” says: “It is a settled law or rule of action in human beings.” This par ticular deffinition of a “principle,” we adop ted for ourselves on arriving at the years of discretion or common understanding, and have endeavored to adhere to it through life as a “rule of action,” and wo feel sad to see around us such a multitude of men who never adopted anything to be governed by, but are mere floaters on the great sea of hu manity. A man without principle is a mere “thing,” a mere shadow of the god-like es sence in which the Almighty created man kind Among the profane this tack of principle is disgraceful, but among Masons it is crimi nal. In the examination ofthe character of a petitioner for the mysteries, this is the first point to he inquired into, for upon it hangs the whole future life of that Mason, in case he is elected. The lack of moral principle is much more prevalent than most persons imagine. It exists among that large family of nondescripts whom you cannot place any where, and you can not rely upon them as friends or enemies. They blow hot and cold with the last man who talks to them, and will side with anj question for the mere sake of popularity or policy. They are men who vution we think if all the men who are gen uine old maids by nature were compelled to wear long dresses, we thick the voting pop ulation would be cut down to very small pro portions. Such men are the bane of Mason ry ; they create nearly all its troubles, and add nothing to its strength or character. For one we have always determined never to al low them to meddle in our affairs nor infringe on onr rights; and if the genuine and liber al minded Masons were to put them under tho ban in masonic society, and keep out those who apply ibr admittance, the fraterni ty would be in a much moru prosperous and happy condition.—-The Frtrmaton.

Why, 1 never knew that be fore. Who?” “My little blind sister, Daisy.” “O Muriel, forgive me tor sometimes think ing you were close and stingy because you always dress so plain, and never buy niee things to cat like the other girls, but you never told me about it, soerhy should I know that you had a little blind sister to eare for?” “I do not blame you,” said Muriel, “work Is the little girl Wind ?” she said. “Yes,” answered Janie, “shecan sec noth ing ofthe beautiful things which are. around us.” “Poor child!” said the woman, “poor childl” and she crossed over to where Daisy stood and laid her hand caressingly on her shoulder. “What is your name, my child?” “Daisy Lane.” “Why,how very singular! That is my name.” And then followed a great many questions and answers, and all at once the woman iu black caught Daisy to her breast, saying: “My darling—my darling you are my on ly brother’s child, and I have been looking for you and Muriel so long.” A few days after this as Muriel sat in hor lonely little room, thinking of Daisy, the post-boy put into her hand a letter. She tore open the wrapper and read it, while the a question which they did not fully under stand, or side with an issue with which they do not fully agree, they merely shrug their shoulders, and give a very wise look. If you speak disparagingly of their best friend or an equivocal question about him, they will again shrug the shoulder, fearing the responsibility pf standing up for him, and have not the moral nerve to defend him, ranch less to knock the slanderous assassin down who dares to impugn the character of his iriend without a sufficient reason or ex planation.

The important measures proposed to be considered by tho convention will attract the earnest attention of the whole country, and, I feel assured, will receive the calm deliberation which so momentous a subject as the advanocment of tlie interests of all tho States, and the development of the wealth and resources of each, require from American citizens. If we turn to the past history of the country and compare fathers when they undertook, in tho face ofthe difficulties which surrounded them, its organization and estab lishment, it would seem to be an easy task for us to revive what may be depressed, and to encourage what may be languishing, in ail the walks of life. We shall find it easy if we will cherish the same principles and practice tho same virtues which governed them. Every man, however, must do his part in this great work. He must carry into the administration of his affairs industry, fidelity and economy and apply the knowledge taught by science to the promotion of agricul ture, manufactures and all industrial pursuits. As Individuals prosper, communities will be come rich, and the avenues and depots re quired by trade and commerce will bo readily constructed.

So far as we are concerned, we adhere to the opinion expressed several times since tho close ofthe war, viz : That this is a ques tion for the Northern opponents of radicalism to determine, not for us. As for the peo ple of the South affiliating with the North ern opponents of radicalism is to them a matter of necessity. They have nowhere else to go. Whether that opposition be made in the name of Democracy, or with some new name, is all the same to us. We cannot afford to be governed in this matter by anything but principle. For us, iu our presen'' condition, to pay any regard to names would be the most nonsensical child’s play. We can beat radicalism in the South, no matter what party name we are known by.
