ABE YOV A MASON ? The Rev. Mr. Magill, rector of St. Paul's Church, Peru, Illinois, being asked the above question, by a lady, responded as follows: I am one of the band Who will faithfully stand In the bonds of affection and love; I have knocked at the door, Once wretched and poor, And therefor admission I strove. By the help of a friend. Who assistance did lend, I succeeded an entrance to gain, Was received in the West, By command from the East, Bnt not without feeling some pain. Here my conscience was taught . With a moral quite fraught. With sentiments holy and true! Then onward I travelled, To see it unravelled, What Hiram intended to do. Very soon to the East, I made known my request, And "light" by command did attend; When lo! I perceived, In due form revealed ; Thus far I have stated, And simply related, What happened when I was made free; But Pve "passed" since then, And was "raised" up again To sublime and ancient degree. Then onward I marched, That I might be "Arched," And to find out those treasures long lost ; When behold I a bright flame From the midst of which came, A voice which my ears did accost. Through the "veils" I then went And succeeded, at length, The "Sanctum Sanctorum" to nud; By the "Signet" I gained, And quickly obtained . Employment which suited my mind. In the depth I then wrought And most carefully sought, For treasures so long hidden there; And by labor and toil , I discovered rich spoil, Which are kept by the craft with due care. .. . ? ?, .. , ,-?- a>? jfJj, tt% jfe *rq <M j Having thus far arrived,. 1 I further contrived-^- iy %i -J J i Among valiant Knights to appear; And as Pilgrim and Knight, I stood ready to fight, No recreant foe did I fear.

A Detroit Justice of the Peace was the other day intervieweil by a woman about 45 yean of age, who announced that she would be married on a certain night at her farmhouse, and his Honor had been selected > to come out and perform the ceremony. She asked how miub? the fee was, and "paid it and - took' a receipt. Business .^nc! tided, she sat down, filled a short clay pipe with tobacco and in dulged in a smoke. "You won't flunk out on this?" she said, as she rose to go, after exhausting the contents of her pipe. ? "Ob? no j I'll be there^ sure." "So'il I, and so'll he, or I'll know the reason why I He's been clawing off a little lately; but I'll make him toe the mark, see if I don't." "I hope nothing unpleasant will oc? cur," observed the court. "I hope so, too, bat I'm going to be T prepared for a scrimmage just the same/ : You always back the weaker sex, don't you?" . . " "Y-yes," softly replied the Justice. "So do I, and I guess we'll bo all right. Don't forget the date." * His Honor went oat last night pre? pared to perform the ceremony with promptness and good-will. He found about a dozen persons assembled at the house, and the woman looked gorgeous under the light of three kerosene lamps. She had her pipe goingvAn$l}er fice was covered with ahland smile as. ?he, shook hands and said: I, "Take a cheer. The old man isn't here yet, bat I'll send for him." Then, turn? ing to a boy in the room, she continued: I "Samuel, go and tell the old man it's time to come in and be spliced." ,'. Samuel departed on his errand, and after the lapse of ten minutes he returned | i and responded: ...??? "The old man is over to Martin's!. He's got his boots off and is whittling pat a; wooden cat, and I don't believe he cares -two cents about being married to you or anybody else." . 'J The widow refilled her pipe, took sev? eral strong whiffs, and then said to a long legged farmer; who seemed hungry for the bridal , feast.: . J 4 . "Moses, you go over aud tell Noah. I want him l" Moses departed. He was absent ten minutes, and then lounged iu and said: "Says he is quite, comfortable where he is. Guess he isn't on the marry very much." ."Judge," began the woman as she looked around for her bonnet, "you play a game of. fox-and-geese 1 with Moses while I go over and see about this thing. There's going to he a marriage here to? night, and Pit bet a-new hoas rako on-1 it I" She was absent about twenty, minutes, and then returned, in; company with Noah. He had neither coat nor hat on, and onjv onerboot, and both were pant? ing for breath, i r.. ,.. i. . a . "G-go ahead, Judge!" she gasped, as she hauled the groom into the centre of the room. "He beard me. coming and got out and run four times around- the orchard, but here he is I" ija?uoon "Do you want to marry this woman ?" asked the official as he gave Noah a. look? ing over. "Yans J" was the blunt reply. > "Then, why did you runaway ?" - " 'Spose I'm going to give right in the first thing?" demanded the indignant Noah.

" We'll be married right here and now,' boots or no boots I" < She crowded him against the table. Moses stood behind the pair to render any needed aid, and the knot was soon tied. As soon as the ceremony was -over Noah skipped out of the back door, but | no one pursued; The widow called the guests to supper and remarked: "Sit right down and don't worry about the groom.

Dr. Gatling, inventor of the famous gun, has just perfected another instru? ment of war that is said to be most com? plete in its. deadly properties. It is ca? pable of firing one thousand shots in a minute, and by the use of the instrument three men can do the work of 300 rifle? men. It is capable of killing, a man or a horse one mile away. It is somewhat in the form of the present Gatling gun, bat more complete, and may be taken to pieces at will and therefore can easily be moved about. About $25,000 were spent in experimenting on it. ? An observant farmer says he will not allow partridges to be killed on his place.

Status. The people were gathering about the Methodis; Church as we arrived. They rumbled along, whole families of them, in diminutive carts of their own mann* facture, drawn by a single animal, usual? ly an ox, or what at the north would be called a small steer, with every bone sticking out and every hair standing on end. The meeting house was the rudest kind of a structure, and so small that half the seven hundred church members stood outside, which was just as well, considering the marvelous elocutionary powers of the minister. The service be? gan before twelve and never slack? ed an instant till four. Every brother, as he came in, shook hands all around, and every sister made a courtesy. Many of them were so black you could not see tbem but for theii flashy turbans and white aprons. They sang uproariously, keeping time with their feet, till the min? ister appeared, when the singing grew louder still and wilder, and their bodies rocked more and more. He gave out a hymn. Everybody sang?it was enough to lift the roof?the strangest melody and music. They have a harmony all their own, very many parts, and not correspon? ding to our harmony, and usually minor. They stood, and as the m usic swelled, their powerful bodies swayed and rolled in a mass and the billowy roar was like unto the Bea. It was magnificent. Suddenly it ceased, and the eutire feminine crowd dropped a courtesy. Then a prayer by one of the deacons, who wound them up to a shouting pitch, and the minuter read another hymn. "God moves in a mischievous way," aud another line, "Judge not the Lord by feeble saints." . Negro preaching is usually a fervid de? scription of Heaven and hell, the resur? rection and judgment, of sin and salva? tion, too, in a-general way, but with noth? ing practical, and a few, either of preach? ers or hearers, know what sin or salvation mean.. This was the farewell sermon, and most harrowing, and as the preacher kindled and glowed, the fire caught and blazed like the pine-knots they burn; the sisters Began to wail and scream, the brothers to shout; tears, moans and groans were on every band ,* tbey wrung and jslasped and.cjapped their hands, swung their bodies,".leaped and.danced, flingin out pbeir :irms; .they whistled and yelled, crooned, cheered, chirruped, tatooed, and howled, and at short intervals came a sharp report, possibly at your very ear like a loud pistol, till the whole was in the wildest tumult. But a close observer con Id see through alls certain order, a melody, even; it was a sort o( natural sym? phony, and controlled by one hand and will, and at the will of the preacher, in? ferior as he looked in comparison with many of his hearers,-! he blast softened, the rumble ceased, and all was as the. grave. TbrQ minister, who was consumptive, de? clared: that he was almost dead, 'hut be prayed with undiminished force, and thus: "0 Lord, we do beseech dee to sen' de locomotive of dj Holy Spirit down into de camp of de Philistines an' convert all de sinners." Next c&me the contribution, when for three-quarters of an. hour they sang and danced, while the people deposited their ?ickles?very slowly, for they have little money and leas confidence in those that receive it. At length the minister be? came impatient, and shouted, "Wo has got ty raise $5 mo,' an' I tell ye now, ye won't get a mite o' sacrament till ye've raised it," and the tramp began afresh. After receiving several into the church, (vc had' communion, and six hundred partook. All through the service the music continued, often very beautiful. Ihey sang Old Hundred and 8t. Martin's with decided variations of their own, and " Jesus, lover of liny soul," to a minor tune of exceeding sweetness. As the women left the altar they dropped a cour? tesy, aa they did after each exercise. A number were baptised and received on probation, and then the babies were brought, dark blossoms in white vestments, withgay streamers. A name was asked, 'Cuffy 'Atistin," was the answer. "Cuffy 1" exclaimed the minister, with some anger, " What do you gib your chile such a name as dat for ? Cuffy ain't no name't all I Don't neber gib a chile no such nick? name ,* he'll be shamed on it as soon as tie knows anything." Again he inquired the name, the woman was mad and flung out: "Cuffy Austin I" The pastor took the child in bis arms, sprinkled some wa? ter on its bead, and said: "I baptize thee, Duffy Austin, in ignorance," and that was all the christening that baby re? vived. A couple then appeared to be married, 3ut the minister said be was too tired to narry them that day, and they would have ;o wait till he came next time. He was then so exhausted that we. began to fear wei should have a dead man to carry home. Be was quite through however. Toe prin? cipal steward of the church, a fine look? ing, full'blooded negro, who sat behind the altar and was particularly active, was called (o account far appropriating church funds, and dismissed from big office. He 3id not take it at all to heart, and the whole assembly looked upon it aB quite a regular proceeding.?Savannah Cor. Boston Congregationalial. A Spoiled Mah^Ib Europe there is a spoiled man. He has 1 been indulged and pampered to such an extent that it it costs $11,000,000 a year to keep him in good humor. ' This spoiled man is the Sultan of Tur? key. His house ii defended by thirty great guns and a guard of 8,000 men. His head servant, or grand marshal, has a salary of $100,000 a year. Five secreta? ries aro employed to save him the trou? ble of writing. Four chief chamberlains live with him, who when they march in procession, carry a great bunch of keys on their backs. He has twenty-three aids de camp, all of whom are persons of much cougequence. ' This spoiled man keeps fire talkors to amuse him with anecdotes and gossip, gathered from all quarters of Constanti? nople by sixty, spies.: Five doctors live with him to take care of his health, and they are assisted by five apothecaries. Four Mahometan chaplains attend to his spiritual interests. Five librarians nourish his intellect, and read the peti? tions that come in. There is an officer whose duty it is to go with this spoiled man'when he takes a walk in the garden. A band of music and a company of singers are part of the spoiled man's household. Five pianists give lemons to his wives and children. The black enucbs to wait upon the la? dies of his household are 120 in number. In the spoiled man's kitchen there are three hundred cooks and turnspits; and the food prepared by them is served by two hundred waiters. In short, tbo servants of this extreme? ly spoiled man are about four thousand in number, very many of whom are per? sonages ot high rank who keep great numbers of servants for themselves. It costs, as we just said, $11,000,000 a year to keep bouse in this way, the most of which is earned by the hard labor of poor men and women; many of whom often go hungry that this spoiled man's servants may have more money to waste. Youths' Companion. ? Gloomily the merchant sat looking over the books and through the few re? maining papers in the safe, the morning ' after the junior partner had got away to South America with alacrity and $42,000 of the firm's money. A consoling friend says to the merchant: "Ah, well, you'll work out of it all right. There's no great loss without some gain." "True," sighed the man of trade, with a brighter light dawning in his face, "true, my wife went with him." ? A girl down town has a beau named Ted, and her little brother has often seen her buss Ted. Freedmen's Paradise. *"-. This caption, though rather extrava? gant in the use I make of it, expresses, as well as any I can now think of, the peaceful and prosperous condition of the colored people now living in Beaufort county, S. C. Whatever hindrances and opposition, imaginary or real, may be said to ex? ist in other portions of the South to mar the happiness and retard the progress aud prosperity of the frecdmen, thereby causing them to migrate to Kansas, Afri? ca, ana elsewhere, it is apparent from existing facts that in the above named county they are contented and happy. Here they enjoy all the rights and privi? leges vouchsafed to any class of United States citizens. Here they are largely in the ascendancy as to Lumbers, ana ex? ercise rights of suffrage without fear of molestation. Politically, they have it all their own way. And on this account I suppose it is that Beaufort county is called all over the State "The Black County." j By tbe exigencies of the war, this coun I ty, made up mostly of Islands, and once owned by wealthy planters, was confis? cated for taxes, and placed upon the mar? ket for sale in such a way that the lands could be bought in small tracts, ranging from ten to one hundred acres each. The colored people purchased the most of it; and now nearly all who live upon it are landlords- that is, they own the lands they cultivate. They work for themselves. And as the very choicest kind of cotton known in the world, called the "Sea Is? land Cotton," grows in this county, and scarcely anywhere else, it is easy to see what superior advantages for thrift and prosperity the people here enjoy. The population of the county is about 40,000, and of this number 30,000 are blacks. Tbe island of St. Helena alone contains 10,000 blacks and only 75 whites; I and in the city of Beaufort, the county seat, there are 3,000 blacks and only 1 800 whites. These statistics clearly show that the colored people have it all their own way, if they choose to. Let us now consider their financial j condition, and see if they have made a ! good use of their opportunities. I am told, that there are on these cotton growing J islands 2,700 men who are heads of fami? lies ; that they live in good houses, own their own.farms, ride in their own car? riages, and wear "made to order" broad \ cloth clothes to church ; that, in the city of Beaufort, there are not less than 500 I families that own the residences they live in?many of which indicate by their ex i ternal appearance and surroundings that. I the in mates possess a high degree of social refinement, and are prosperous and hap? py. It is said to be a very raro thing to see a colored beggar upon the streets asking for food, raiment or shelter. But the most remarkable fact of all is, that in this county of 40,000 people? three-fourths of whom are blacks?not a single murder has been committed since the war, and that only an average of ten criminals, during the past four years, have been in the hands of the law. These facts are from the records of the sheriffs office, and were given to me by Alfred Williams, tbe mayor of Beaufort, who, by the suffrage of the people, , both black and white, has been elected six times to fill the office he now occupies; and who, I judge, is a man of undoubted integrity and veracity. Now, if we accept newspaper reports as correct, there have been in.the other counties of South Carolina, during the past four months, twonty-six murders and sixteen assaults with intent to kill. We may well ask, why this difference? why should the people of Beaufort coun? ty be so much more peaceable than those of other counties of tbe State? It can? not be simply because so large a propor? tion of its citizens are colored people, nor because the comparatively few whites liv? ing there are so much better than the rest of the State. I am inclined 'o the opinion that it is because the colored people in this county own the lands they cultivate and the houses tbey live in; and this possession of realty has so in? spired their industry and manhood, aud developed their self-respect, as to make them lovers of good order in society. As a general rule, any man, black or white, feels better and behaves better, and does better in every respect, when he works for himself on bis own land, than he does when working for another by tbe day, month or year, or even when cultivating land on shares. Allowing this to be the correct view of the matter, may we not go a little farther and say that the elevation, prosperity and Eeace of the freedmen of the South can est be promoted by giving them an op? portunity to obtain, individually, an in? terest in the land they cultivate ? They have muscle and mind?the two elements of honest wealth?and when these are stimulated by the opportunity to pur? chase lauds to live upon and cultivate, I believe tbey will become an industrious, frugal and happy people; aud not till then may we expect their "pcr/ectum."? & W.

The ckve was discovered last December by a party of sight seera, and the spidern ana their work witu?nsed. On entering (he cave one is first struck by the funny looking webs that meet their eyes. They are worked for all the world like web? of other spideri, but every fiber it ten times as large as the ones woven by ordinary spiders. On passing on further into the care the spi? ders are encountered. Thsy are ? about the size of small birds and make a strange sound while weaving their web. Their webs are so tough aud the fibers so large that it is almost impossible^ to break down a web. Some four weeks ago, while looking at the cave, a miner got to examin? ing the webs. Their Strand? were about the size of a No. 12 thread, aud ho thought that they could be uaed for thread. Having a needle in bis posses sion he broke off one of the straudi aud found that it just fit. Sewing on a loose button to test tbe efficacy he found it as strong as silk thread, and that it answered his every purpose. Since thou the people have flocked in and carried away hosts of the webs, but tbe spiders do not appear to object iu the least. Early Corn.?A correspondent of l Vick's Magazine gives the following direc? tions for bringing corn to maturity early in the season, adding that he picked corn last year inBide sixty days from the time j of planting: "Let the coudition of the ! soil and manure be the best you can com? mand, ard aside from the frequent weed? ing and hoeing, stirring the ground thoroughly, thin the stalks to three or four. Three is best if you would have the largest ears and the most of them. Pluck out unmercifully every sucker and non bearing stalk. That process alone will hasten your corn a week or ten days, as I have come to believe from experi? ment. I have added this year a top dressing at the hill, when the corn was well up?a compost of one part plaster, two parts ashes, and two parts fine ma? nure, which, I think, has been n great advantage." Those who wish early corn should not only have for seed what is called "an early kind," but they should obtain it from as far North as possible. Seed corn raised in Canada and taken South will come to perfection one, two or three weeksearlicr than that ripened on thespot. The reason is that the seed raised in the North has adapted itself to a short season. This is true, in a measure, of all seeds. ? What is the difference between a farmer and a ""bottle of whiskey? One husbands the corn and the other corns the husbands. The Trials of an Engaged Girl. After all, the yoke of marriage is an apparatus that should sit on two pairs of shoulders; and there is nothing very seemly in seeing a sir] wait to wear her own part of it until it has been nicely padded with quilted satin. Looking at the matter from a less elevated point of view, long engagements are rather tire? some in restricting the liberty of girls. Miss Jenny, who is going to marry Mr. Simpson as soon as that hopeful young man gets a living, is obliged, in the meanwhile, to deny herself many pleas? ures, leat Simpson should take offense. She must eschew balls; she must take care that nobody makes love to her; and for this purpose she is obliged to let all chance comers be speedily informed of her engagement. Unhappily, the sym? bolism of rings is always unregarded, else the chance comers might discover the fact for themselves by looking at the second finger of Miss Jenny's left band. If Jenny has no sisters to talk of her betrothal, and if her mother does not accept timely hints to mention it on every necessary occasion, or the engagement is not announced in the Home Journal, the girl is rather embarrassed for words in which to convey the news delicately to strangers. She cannot allude to Mr. Simpson as "Johnny"?that would be too familiar; she cannot speak of him as "Simpson," for this would sound strange; but if she refers to him frequently as "Mr. Simpson," strangers might draw undesirable inferences from her apparent familiarity with a person thus coldly specified. Then the engaged girl has to put up with a great deal of chaff, which is only pleasing for a while, and afterward becomes intolerable. The trials of matrimony are frequently com? mended to her impatient attention by way of parental rebuke. "Ab, my dear, you will find out that I was right when you are a wife yourself!" and so forth ; or a snub is put upon her too hasty wish to consider herself free by the reminder -that she is not married yet, and that there is many a slip between cup and lip. Sometimes Simpson is actually held up to ber as a bogey: "My dear, I I don't think Mr. Simpson would quite approve of your wearing that cherry ribbon;" "Jenuy, dear, I think Mr. Simpson would be sadly grieved if he heard yon express those opinions," or, "Jenny, I am Bure Mr. Simpson would not think it proper that you should {lay croquet with Captain Mallet." here is enough in all this to make a girl ait down and scream.?From the Borne Joarnal. ?

Jan 22, 18*0 26 The World for 1880 Democrats everywhere should Id form themselves carefully alike of the action of their partv through ut the countrp and of the movements of their Re? publican opponents. A failure to do this In 1876 contributed greatly to the loss by tho Democracy of the fruits of tho victory fairly iron at the poll*. The year 1880 promises to be one of the niost In terosilng and important years of this crowded and eventful century. It will witness a presidential election which may result In re-establishing tho Government of this country on tho principles of its constitutional founders, or in permanontly changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. N'o intelligent man can regard uuch an election with indi/furcnee. The Word, as the only dally English newspaper published In tb( eltyof New York which upholds the doctrines of consti? tutional Democracy will steadily represent the Democratic parlv in this great canvass. It will do thin in no spirit of servile partisanship, but tempe? rately and nnnly. As a newspaper the World, br? ing the organ of no man, no clique and no Interest, will present tho fullest and the fairest picture It can make of each day's passing history in the city, the state, the country and the world. It will aim hereafter, as heretofore, at accuracy flrit of all things in all that It publishes. No mau, however humble, shall over be permitted truly to complain that lie hos been unjustly dealt within thecolumns of the World. No interest, however powerful, shall ever he permitted truly to boast that Hcan silence the fatr criticism of the World. Durihg the past year tho World has seen Its dailv circulation trebled and Its weekly circulation pushed far beyond that of any other weekly news? paper in theeountry. This groat increase has been won, as the WORLD believes, by truthfulness, en? terprise, ceaseless activity in collecting news and unfaltering loyalty to Itself and to its readers In dealing with the questions of tho day. It is our hope and it will be our oudeavor that the World's record for 1880 may bo written in the approbation and tho support of many thousands more of new readers in all parts of this Indissoluble Union of Indestructible States.
