Dr. Magill, being asked the above question by a lady, responds as follows: I am one of a band Who win faithfully stand In the bonds of affection and love; I have knot'.ed at the door. Once wretched and poer. And there for admission I stood. the help of a friend, o assistance did lend, I succeeded sn entrance to gain; Was received In the West, By command from the East, But 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 have 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 1 I perceived, In due form revealed, A Muter, and Brother, and Friend. Thus far I have stated. And simply related What happened when I was made flee; ButI'vo "passed" Bin ce then, And was "raised" up again To a sublime and ancient degree. Then onward I marched, That I might be "Arched," And find out those treasures long lost; When, behold I a bright flame. From the midst of which came A voice which my ears 'lid accost. Through the "Tails" I then went, And succeeded at length, The "Sanctum Sanctorum" to find; By the "Signet" I gained, And quickly obtained Employment which suited my mind In the depths I '.hen wrought, And most carel olly sought For treasures so long hidden there; And by labor and toll I discovered rich spoil, Which are kept by the craft with due care. Having thus far arrived, I further contrived Among the valiant Knights to appeal-; And as pilgrim and Knight, I stood ready to fight, Nor Saracen foe did I fear. For the widow distressed There's a chord iu my breast; For the helpless and orphan I feel; And my sword I could draw. To maintain the pure law Which the duty of Masons reveal. Thoa have I revealed (Set wisely concealed). What the "Free and Accepted" well know. I am one of a band. Who will faithfully stand As a brother wherever I go. Fashions for January. [From Madame Demorest's Monthly Magasine.] The short walking-dress has become an ad? mitted fact, and haa taken its place among the "institutions." We rejoice at this for several reasons, one of which is the healthfulness, second, the deanliness, and third, the econo? my of such a costume for street wear. It also compels a distinction between the out-door and in-door toilette, which is conducive to both neatness and elegance of appearance. It has been too much the habit to trail about in the streets the one, two. or three handsome, dresses, which are all that the generality cf women possess, and this soon destroyed the beauty of the fabric round the bottom of the skirt to such an extent as to render them unfit for either in-door or out-door wear. The temptation and tendency now is to make the short dresses too costly for their purpose. For useful street wear, gray serge, cloth lin eey, wool reps, alpaca, or a wool stripe, check, or plaid, are altogether the most suitable, and it is not only a useless extravagance, but out? rages all sense of the fitness of things, to see expensive silk, satin, and embroidery expend? ed on toilettes, which can never be pronounced "dress," or fitted for anything but street wear. The newest walking-costumes are made of cloth, ensuite, and trimmed with black silk cord or braid, or with silk or satin folds, or piping stitched on. These trimmings are sometimes put on plain, but more frequently to for sa some sort of design sheaf, coil, fan, leaf, or the like. A plain "Boulevard" skirt is the best to wear under these dresses, as the upper skirt is only simulated by the trimmed. Short dresses made of linsey-woolsey, tweed, serge or water-proof cloth, are simply trimmed with crosscut bands of the same, piped or edged with narrow folds of silk of the same color. The buttons are large and handsome, however, and prove a sufficiently ornamental Silk and Berge costumes are sometimes made with double skirts, the upper one being pret? tily looped up over the under one, with long straps or tabs, bound with silk, and fastened with enamelled buttons or slides. The simplest and most useful costumes, however, are of water-proof cloth, Bismarck, or dark green with double-breasted paletots, the whole trimmed very simply with black braid, doubled, and stitched on the upper edge. Kew clan tartans in poplin and all wool are extremely fashionable this season, and are ar? ranged to form the most picturesque out-door and in-door toilets. A short tunic dress of gray, or black alpaca, worn over a complete high dress of Scotch plaid is a favorite style. very rich fabrics are used this winter for visiting and evening dresses. Silks are heavily corded or embroidered, and satins and velvets axe also in great requisition. The higucst colors are in vogue in these splendid materials, such as crimson flame color, and the deep "Nasturtian," sometimes called capucine. White lace is generally used to tone down these gorgeous tints, and ropes of pearls, unless the wearer can add diamonds to the splendor of her toilette. Low necks and short sleeves have always been considered indispensable to "full dress" abroad, but not until this season have they been adopted to any great extent in this coun? try. This fashion is particularly hurtful, be? cause it is bable to be much abused. Young girls sacrifice to it their sense of modesty, and old ladies all ideas of propriety. A squaro body cut high, or low, with a chemisette of handsome lace, is a becoming compromise with fashion, especially if undersleeves of lace are added to rich hanging sleeves of the ma? terial. JEWELRY.--The new designs in gold and sil? ver filagree are very pretty. The most ad? mired are roses of dahlias, with jewelled hearts, a cluster or large single flower forms the brooch, and a small blossom the earring. VEILS.-Small veils are again fashionable. The bottom reaches the chin. It is cut into three or more points which end in jet or silk tassels. Many have scarfs which tie over the chignon. Spotted silk net is much worn: also net sprinkled with jet and gold. BALL DRESSES.-Tarlatane dresses are fash? ionably made with three and four skirts. Tulle dresses also. Narrow flounces have been re? vived in tarlatane, headed with routeaua: of white or colored satin. The edges may be bound by the satin, or simply notched ont. SASHES.-Sashes have become very import? ant accessories in a lady's toilette, ever since paletots have been worn short enough to ren? der them suoh conspicuous objects. Sashes are made of white ribbon, of gros grain, ot satin, and of velvet, all cut from the piece. This ??MOS they are not confined to dresses, bat are largely worn as a dressy addition to handsome silk aod velvet paletots. HATS- The Tosiee_Low crown black velvet hat, with brim o;.' medium width, Bhghtly rolled at the sides. Tho trimming consists ol spravs of green veh'et leaves, and a crossing of biack velvet in folds with two wide stream? ers lined with satin, and trimmed at the end with silk fringe, Tliis ia one of the prettiest hats of the season. 77ie Tiverton.-High crown white felt hat. with a heavy roll brim covered with white velvet; ending with a broad scarf with fringe, and gilt leaves sc t in a knot of white velvet, supportipg a rich Marabout feather at the side, which gives it a veiy stylish appearance. The Wanda Turban.-Blue velvet, quilled brim. A blue ostrich tip, set in a small roll of velvet, completes the trimming. (C?inntcrri?l.

I nave always recommended the Faber Polyc.rade Lead Pencils as the only pencils fitted for butti or? namental and mathematical drawing; but, a'tor a thorough trial of the American Polygrade Lead Pen? cils, manufactured by thc American Lead Pencil Company, New York, I Hud them superior to any pencil in use, eveu to tho Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pencil, being a superior pene ll for sketching, ornamental and mechanical drawing, and all the ordinary uses nf a lead pencil. These pencils are very finely graded and have a very si ooo th lead; even the sottest pencils hold the point well; they are all that can be desired in a pen? cil.
