In writing these lines, I have no idea of favoi ig aiy party, but only the truth. May I reach this end! But as the oh stacles are cousiderable for me, I beg my brethren and you, my friend, not to de ty me your kind indulgence. Thle society of 'ree-masons, attracted upon her the- ottention of mankiid witho-ut any protection, neither from the grovernments or the churches; scarcelv tolcrated in certain countri-:s; persecuted in soie others, she arrived in the inter val f 1 few centuriEs to the authoritv of an instiution which numbers its metm -bers by hundreds of t' osands of c-:cry behef, in all n.ktions of the earth. - Notwithstanding all the efforts of its enemies to ruin it, this association did keep up and did become more numerous, and aided, by her intluence, the improve ment of social life ; and notwithstanding nojaberless errors, fostered among its members a spirit of benevolence and charity, and brought back many who had gone out of the fon't-paths of virtne. She dried the tears of widows and or phans, and she instituted npny establish nients of benerolence and general utility. Devodon and fervor in prayer predis p-es to masonry ; and as piety. is the absolute .ign of religion ; so a disposition to piety inclim.-s to charity. This last -virtti'prod'uce a series of associations more or 4es close. Hence from that cause, the union'of love, of friendship, family, government or church. The society of free-masons is then* the strongest- cvenant whva- existsin the heart Qf-humanity. it is the most-com pIete expressinn of the_ tendency to r-, conciliate God with iimankind, and to cre ate a loxe for God and our felow-crea. tures in the heart 'of man.

This interesting religious meeti.ng was con dueted by the Rev. Thompson Sloan, and the Rev. J.

We deeply regret that the onference meeting mentioned elsewhere, prevented our attendance at this. We understand that the congregations were full anid deeply attentive. Fiv.-We regret to record the oc currence of a fire on Mr. Andrew Kil fore's place, about 1I miles from town, on Munday ni(rht. The tire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary, and the loss to Mr. Kilgore amounts to the entire stock of corn on hand, several out-houses, one buggy, and all of his harness, saddles, bridles, &c. The fire was discovered between nine and ten o'clock. We are informed that an at tempt had been made on the Saturday night previous, to fire the premises. Mr. Kilgore is an estimable gentleman, and the heart which prompted the perpetra tion of this diabodical deed was a fiend ish one. . Suo-T.-On Friday last, a negro com ing out of the gni-smith shop with a shot-gun, in a most careless and igno rant manner, capped and pulled trigger with the intention 'he said of blowing the gun out. Most unfortunately the gun was fcound to b4 loaded,and went off, the contents of which lodged = the head and thoilders of a.quiet ind good boy who was sittng near by. The 6oy shot, frnerly belonged to Col. Renwick, and bears an exceient eiaracter; while the other, judging from- his greapy, lazy, good for nothing appearance, has no thing to recommend him. Had the case been reversed, the harm would be con sidered--. trifling. The wounded boy, with ,ne. eye shot ont, and otherwise badly hurt is in a precarious condilion.

The Sabbath night's dis -ourse, by. Mr. Monzon, fioom the text, "She hath done what she could," Mark xiv:, 8, was hap pily used in bringing to the attention of the female portion of the congregation, which by the way was unusually large, the loving duty, affection and gratitude they owe to the Savior ; and the great influence, moral and religious, which they wield over the de.stiny of man.

Female College closed on Thursday night, inr the Court House, and throughout, from the beginning of the examination to the closing ceremo nies, were of the most ioteresting and gratifying character. The proficiency of the various classes, alike in the primary, academic and collegiate depArtments, ex hibited a thorough practical training on the parts of the accomplished President, Mr Zealy, as well as of the preceptors generally, and showed a commendable zeal and aptness for instruction on the part of the young ladies and nisses un der their care and training, and we give our need of praise and congratulation to each, from -the least to the- greatest, who contributed so largely to make this one of the maost interesting occasions it has been our pleasure to witness in 'years. The principals of this institution may. well feel a pride at such visible and ripe fruits as the result of.their labors, while the parents of the pupils and the friefids of both will experience a full sense of gratification. It is not our purpose, nor hive we space to particularize the ex atiination of each class, nor is it neces sary, for what might be said of one must be said of the whole. Take it from beginning to end, it was a success, flattering alike to all, and which we hope sill make the future of Mr. Zealy's Cullege a prosperous realily. Of course we will be pardoned uaking mention of the graduating, class as the "b-igbt particular stars" of this happy occasion. and theyoung ladies themselves might justly censure us as old fogyi, h, and lackmg the power or ability to ap pr0cittcso much of beauty, virtue and mental excellence did we overlo6k them. Our heart is too full of- the softer emo tions to sanction so gross a negligence, and we congratuilaie them in all shicerity, on the distinguished part they played. With.heartfelt wishes that iheir fuiure may be crowned with happines, and their promise of usefulness fully realized, we at the same thne thank them. for the pleasure which we experienced in participating as an observer in the final test which proclaimed thetm worthy to receive their diplomas.

W4 n o MtSIc-WHAT WE SAW AND HEARD wl wHo is si.-The man Who bath no sa music in his soul, is fit for treason, etc. ha We have music in our soul; its full.of it, good measure, not packed down, but running over and gushing out; therefore, . ti music to us hath charis. Ever since the happy days of boyhood, from the w early period when first we discr-cred a talent for whistling, our chief desire - was to breathe our soul out in-strainm of barmony. We whistled beford break- ha fast; after; while trudging along -to ;chool.; and at every opportunity which ffered. We had not yet tried our piping voice in song, but wbisiled the whole day long. Some boys whistle bet ter than other boys, so -did we. Senie roby said that somebody else paid. too :lear for his, whistles. Not' beirg 'there rr that occasion, we cannot rouch for - ,he truth of. this; bt, nevertheless;- it nay be true. We remember nany times having paid too dear for the irhistling of others, however. Song -is tn element of musk, and the -human voice is capable of affordiig the greatest lelighti as weH 'as causing extreme vex tion. We have- heard- voies (spepk )Gt of dur., though iti A No. 1, e6Ar, ;weet, and full of delicious harmony) of dl-kinds and characters, and wile-some iare subdued our soul with the tritch. ary of thwir-sweetness,-others aghiin have )een listened to with feetings tT m&rtyr ioni.
