The Widow's frills Tt was a hitter Tiiitht." 'fhn snow" had bc falling in fleecy 'lights duringthtrgreater p lion ot the day, and the cold was so intcc that li t flo business of any" kind had be prosecuted by thv inda vt pious ami enterpri ing citizens cf the village. Night had .sn ceeded day. The snow aud* sleet were st descending, and the spirit o? tjie storm scei pd to howl around. thoJtousa a.id through ti fields and .orchards, and forests, and utnoi tbe distant mountains. Mr. Rowland had returned from bis conti mg house at an em lier hour than usual. Su per hau been sieved, ?nd the I'-imWy had gull ere-d around thv lim. Thc: children had bet put to bed in an adjoining apartment, and ri infant was sleeping it) the cradle under ni mediato notice .of it.-? mother. Mr. Ro.wlaii was reading a newspaper, and BS the li'.fi blasts moaned cround his commodious dwel ing he would make remarks relative to til severit}' of the weather. Mrs. li. was par ing thc flaxen eels upon the head cl" th sleeping babe, and occasionally she imprintc thu warm kiss of maternal nileciiou upon il ruddy check. Suddenly some one rapped at the door. I \V?:? opened, when a little giri of about scvu years old was admitted. Ii?.-r ?canty dres WAS tattered ard torn, a nigged quilt wa thrown around ber shoulders, abd a pairo miserable old s-iocs upon her feet. She wa almost frozen. " Yoa are the wid'?w yTalfcins' little daugb ter?" said Mrs. Rowland, inquiringly. Thc little'gil') answered in tho uffirmutivc and added tha;. her Ma was sick, and wisbet Mr. Howland to step over, for she though shn should sui ely die. Mr. Rowland owned the place on whicl tbe sick woina-u resided. She wris very in digent, and but poorly able to pay the ex t ra vagan t rent which the unfeeling owner ex traded. The apuse was once her husband's or rather her c^rn, Jjeing O gift fruin her fnth er on the veiy day of her wedding. Mr Watkins was wealthy wben*a j'oung man and-was educated for the bar, and no om seemed more likely to be successful in hi: prolession. Ile and Mr. Rowland were ear ly aKsoeia!es. The latter, a few yoara befort the period at which we now lind him, bac commend d the nefarious traiiic in ardent spirits-had grown rich-had induced Wat kins to drink-made bim drunk, and by.-de grees a drunkard ; and when the poor besot ted victim wa-, unable to pay his debts, con tracted mostly for ruin, but partly by neg lecting his professional duties, he, bis former associate, bis pretended frieud, bis destroyer, was the first lo decry and oppress bim. His horses and wen were sold by tue sheriff; next his household and k:tcben:ur?iture were seized ; and f nally a mortgage was given to Rowland upon tao homes.o.id of thc drunk ard, to secura thc rum-dealer m the payment of a pitiful balance in his favor. This calamity did riot check thc prodigal career of the inebriate. Hu still quailed the liquid poisoH, and still did thc heartless deal er holdout inducements to prevail upon Iii::: to sink lowet intp wretchedness and shaine. A few weeks alter,, ho was ono morning found da&d in the street. He bad ' left the grocery at a late buur the preceding night, in a *tate of intoxication. The night was dark, and bo probably missed his way-fell into a gutter foui-d himself uuable to get out-and, being stupefied wi'.k rum, ho weat to sleep, and froze lo death. Rowland in.a short time foreclosed thc mortgage, and the home of thc drunkard's wife became the legal property of the man who bad deutroyed her peace, and reduced ber to beggary ?nd waut. He permitted ber lo remain on the premises, exacting an'ex travagant rite of rent. Mental anguish, ex cessive labor, want of proper nourishment, aud exposure, bad well nigh worn l er out, and she v.i.s fast sinking into the grave where thc weary arc at rest. No one had been near hut ; no one seemed to care for her ; in fact it was not known to her nearest neighbors that she was sick. Mr. Rowland felt anxious for bisront, there Jbeing at tbet rime a Bonall sum due. Aud perhaps it is owing to that circumstance that be so readily consented to lccompany thu little girl tc the room of her sick motlier. Ile drew on hi? overcoat, tied a woolen comporter round his neck, aud drew on bis gloves, and, taking his umbrella, set out through th? drift ing snow and sleet, and bent bis way fo tho .widow's uncomfortable home. He fount-, her lying on a miserable bcd of straw, with her head slightly el?v?ted, tbe only chnir belonging to her bouse being plac-1 ed under ber pillow. She was pale ind ghast ly, and evidently noar thc hour of dissolu- j tion. Mr. Rowland being seated on a rudo j wooden stool, she said, iu a feeble wUt deci I ded tono of voice, I "Ii-AT? ?cnt?oryor^sir, t?payitfe*??* it, that I may moke you the heir to tale. My estate ?

Thc Minist?res Salary. . A. worthy m i ?1er-so Dr. Chaplin te story in . Dr. Dumbar's memoir-was pained by hearing that the minister w ing away for want of support, thc c [ming decided they could no longer rai salary-- He called a meeting, and add his-brethren vot'y modestly, tor he wa' uf the poorest among these corufortab, mers. Ho ??ked if want of money wa po\y nason for this cbanget and if all united in desiring tbc-s^rvices of the p Could (hey still "keep bim. There was ope voice in reply. The pastor Was 1 and beloved ; but thc flock was so podr " Well." replied the miller," I have a by which I can raise his salary without ing one of you for a dollir, if yon will ; me to takc^my own way t'o do ir. I wi sume the responsibility for one year. . I your consent ?': Ut" course they C"uld not refuse this though they expressed surprise, knowinc miller to be but a poor man. The year drew to a close.- Thc mir bad been blessed iu his labors, and eo had Been called on for money. When came together, lbs miller asked the past his wants bail been snpplied and bis sn promptly mel? !!. replied in the aili live. When thc'brethren we re asked if were aov pootvr than at the beginning of car, each one replied " No," and asked they couid be, when their church privi! had boen so mysteriously paid for. Ile iii again, uJs any man hereauy poorer lor lc ing the minister ?" and the reply was same as before. "Then," he said: 'br ron, I have only to tell you that you h paid ilu> Rnlavy the paine as you always inly more of it and with greater pron ness, i ou remember you told me to l my own way in this matter; and I have d so. As eneh oi:e of you brought bis g. tu mill, 1 took otu as much grain a: thought your proportion, and laid it ai For tbs Hilary.

Why.Women Cannot Enter Masonic Lodges. Frequent Complaints are made by ladies relation to Masonry, and their principal II [ruinent* are, that their husbands have no I <iues8 to do anything that they cannot I their wives-that which is secret must wrong-that it is only u mean excuse, ai ?to on. One branch of the. subject seen however, to bc capable of legendary expiar tion. and the Norfolk Journal publishes, iLe. on. the following paragraphs : When King Solomon was still a young ma he had married bis seventh wife. She-was beautiful young Ammonites?, with locks ? black as the raven's wing and eyes a3 brig! as the eagle's. It was believed that she w? the favored fair one among all the sultan: of thc Groat King, for his affections wei not divided thou as they afterwards boca mi She knew ber power, and used it unsparing!; In addition to her other qualities, she was t inquisitive as ever was a woman ou th? earth. One evening King Solomon attended lodg on some grand occasion, and stayed out som? what late. When ho returned home, he foun the fair Atntnonitess in the dumps, and pout ing just like tho dear wives of Masons d sometimes now when their lords stny out to late at the lodge. She upbraided bim wit! neglecting her, insinuating that he bad'n been to the lodge as he pretended, and in sisted that in future bc should give proof tba he went there by having herself initiated, s< that she might go there and watch bim. " Daughter of Amnion," replied the King '. thou- hast behaved thyself as one of thc foo! ?sh*women, in presuming toquestioi thy lort and master. Thou art not so angry with mi as thou pretendes!, to be; for the true reason of tt*is behavior is thy insatiable curiosity, in which thou excellest Eve herself. Know, then, that I here ordain that neither thou, nor any-f'f thy inquisitive sex after thee, ever enter the. portals of a Masonic Lodge ; but I shall enjoin the Tyler to pierce through with his drawn sword any woman that shall at tempt', to enter a rodge ; aye, even thee, Queen of 1st aol though thou be !" And that ordi nance of this wisest of monarchs has contin ued in force till this day. -? ?-J Tun DEATH OK CAPTAIN OEORGK 0.

Indeed, we be lieve tnat tho over-sensitiveness o; our people , upon this subject for the last six weeks "has . gone far to assist in forging the chains which art-, by the operations of this Iii: j, to be put upon us. On the other hand, we must dep recate anything like dtliance'or exasperation ot feeling, either towards the authors of the measure or those c:f' our oWn pc pie who are disposed to accept its, to us. degrading terms.
