RUDLER, Colonel Commanding* W. 1. MXAUVO, A. A. A. S. march ?1 -,- ,., - , - , <% ? ? - --j Egeria, the Maa? of Counsel. L EGERIA. Egeria is the Muse ef Counsel. She is described as the mysterious nymph whc^ mel Kuma Pompilius, and taught bim bow [ to govern. She met him always in soli I tude, *nd Solitude is the nurse of Thought. She met bim in the groves, which are place's favorable to meditation. She met him at Uv Hight, -when a certain calm usually overspreads the soul-the passions being in repose-and when the mind con? sciously hovers, as it- were, between the two worlds of Time and Eternity, in some degree partaking bf both. Egeria is a beautiful fancy of the old Tradition. Thought ?nd .Study are beguiled to the solitude, where '"Wisdom puts on the aspect of Lore, for tie better persuasion of tbe pupil. Through such, influences, we might naturally expect that Coun?el should be at once grateful and easy of attainment. "We should, each of us, seek for an Egeria; for JTuma, though a prince, was thus honored, only because of bis attributes as ? man! tl. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTHORITY AND COUNSEL. The Curaonn Sibyl, -who came to Tullus Hostiliu?, bringing bim books for sale nine at first, and afterwards reduced tc three-was probably tl>e same person with the Egeria of Numa Pompilius. She as? sumed another character and a differenl deportment, when dealing with a differenl person. With the gent?o and modesi Numa, she was a friend and counsellor but the haughty pride of Tullus needed ai authority, rather than an adviser. To tb? one she ?poke as a companion; to the other she brougbt a book of written laws. Ht is undoubtedly the wisest person who sub mits to aed receives counsel, but th greater portion of mankind are net so easib taught. To counsel or advise with their is really to proroke self-esteem to dispe tation. You must put on the aspect of a oracle; never, like Is!*, peinait your ks turee to be unveiled-and, Fpeakfng cu! without suffering an answer, your cu'.hort1, r-bal! pass without n question. III. nOW TO FIND TOUR EGERIA. You may find your Egeria-in ibe grov< ic the garden,beside arv fountain, bowe?? modest, in the shade. Seek her in som? quiet nook in Sydney Park, at dusk, or in the cool air of the morning. Yexir search must be successful, if you choose the right companion for the search? If you tako Vanity with you, or Self-Estcem, you will encounter a serpent; a sleek, glossy reptile, which may ba startlingly beautiful; yo?, will be dazzled by bright colers, and fasci? nated by magical eyes. . You will be fed on subtleties, and will return homo only lo brood over extravagant fancies, and delud? ing hopea. If you take Humility along with you, you commune with God him? self. You will bc fed on celestial manna. You will ba"imbued with faith, at once in God and Humanity. You will be in? formed with reverence. Your- heart viii be soothed and softened to your kind. The sense of the beautiful will be developed within you, and you will extract nutriment from the innocent things Around you. Sweet Eongs will refresh you in tho bieath of flowers; noble thought* will lift you in the contemplation of ancient trees, and a voice of grandeur, like tho speaking along the great deeps, will thrill your sou), through tb? ear, from the ever constant rolling rapids of Cougaree.
