^ W"" Freemasonry. A p,o\uion from celfAio citizens of Qltio. was pn?8<*nta') to the'Satiate of the United Stated the lat.terptyrt of last month, praying Confess* to rtfllk^ charters to ?n* secret associations: Bud lo repeal tbe law under which '.tji Ma*onio Hall Association of he Di^p^of ^Ooh^bU obtained its charter. petitioners' based their hostility to ft* tacieot institution of Freemasonry on feereral serious charges, which, if veil found >ed, "would have fully justified tbdir aetion. Our dthy as ptjblic jbncaillits. leads ua to examine' tb#*e Charge*, as the organisation thus eitendi ovei a!) the world; and c'.^uis'lo have beenN established with the praiseworthy object 'Of inculcating the prac tlce of sooial ttni moral virtue. " ' A careful study of its history bat convinced us that it is, what it professes te' be is fy^utiful system of morality,' Veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. There Ikrfe no secrets as to its principles'*and objects. .. " ' " The first bf tho charge9 referred to, is that "masonic associations ate dangerous to republican governmdils.'* Nothing can be more unifWtbaWthis;- . Monarchy is a. hereditary, Freemasonry an elective institution. In the one the ^Bftverejgfv'platmirog twrule.by disinherited mmy *^ir?j*bt divine, is regarded us libe fountain of all honor and-power, in tho other, the people are aekudwledged to be the only source bf bontrol- \ P ; ( All offices in the masonic fraternity, boing in tbe gift of tbe cralVgoverntneiit' is strict, elective, aud, consequently, republican in its forrfl and character* Freemasonry - dangerous to Jlt-publican institutional : It might as well be assorted that knowledge was dangerous to Freedom. *The true model of a welj-ordered republic is'a just and duly constituted ma*onic lodge. ' Our own great Washington, the memory of whose virtues,#alor, and patriotism will ^AITiafn fnronor flnolirinorl in iKo tiaorl> a!" Ilia countrymen, was one of the greatest ohiamehta of- the fraternity. Identified, ?s he wag, .witii the institution, if it had been antagonistic i<i its principles or practice to republiciifa gotorfiraent, would'he have contented bitnftetf with a presidential chair when he might bavo mounted a royal throne f " ' ** ' ' 5 x ' Tbe wiseacres of Ohio, whose minds it nay be impossible to irradiate with the light of truth, also assert, 'that for ii long time, n? son iff societies have directed' tbgir efforts,'id this country, towards the support of slavery and tbe inception of rebellion in its behalf. In reply to this, suffi'oe it to say that every masou is strictly enjoined " to be a peaceful and quiet 'citizen, true to his government and just to his' roufeWgy not (o countenance duloyalty or ret^ion, but patiently to-submit to legal authority, and conform^ with cheerfulness,' to' the government of the country in which he -lives.' The charge of iooitihg to rebellion, dto., is. therefore,'fca- false as that of "perverting (be1 nation, and forbidding to give'tribute to Cassar." whinh mil Krnnnlil llio -o to ? ? " foubder of Cbriatianity. WhOdOee not know that tbe essential characteristic of MaeoDry, when not perverted, la charity, "bnd, that Brotherly love. Relief and Trutfy, aYe the earner stones of Vbo'Maionio Temple 7 ' <9ow then can that le a pro slavery institution, which teaches * its members to aid in tbe erection of that tmiVerfefcl abd'eternal temple, which will one day, enclose atl' humanity within its precincts ?" Tbe petitioners say that Freemasons are * "bound by barbarous oaths repugnant to law;;human and divine."'' This is another infamous fahehood. The solution obligations whicb masons voluntarily assume bave been entered into by some 6Y ihe Hi scat and most tittuobs men of all agei and countries since tbe dbya of King 8olomon. ' Would they liave bound tbemsfelvefrby "barbarous and ut\lftwfiiToatb%^' Again, it is charged by the petitioners that th# y gu,th of the country are- ^egbtin itfaAotiic lodges Athe pernioloui practices 6f conspiracy," and'that these institutions, through the use of vague signs and symbols,' ibsidoously calculated to deceive, ' habituate the young and innocent to the ways of duplioity And demoralization." the allusion to the young and innofcent is easily disposed of as do one not of lawful ape can be made a mason. * r ' As to the rest, we'have the best autbori ty for station that a desire of knowledge and a sincere wish of being serviceable to his fellow creatures is the'"<#e? setarr^' for every man to every masonic -lodge on the fape of the globe, tfndif any eft jibbing be discounteflaneAd by ^rGeitfasonry, f$bre fhaa another, it-'ls d(<iloyaHy, or conspiracy against, taffrfal 'gbveVnmept.'

Pakknts :?tiaving now, somewhat in detail. febJrti'derbd the question whether we may, with strong bopo of sacten, toiler upon the work of trmining our obildriti ! >' the feat ot God, wo now atop to <*6n?idei; an objection 4j*hich is often parided/witl an air of' triumph, against ltt? view wh h^ve been pressing, viz:'*Many parents, professors of religion,1 bare children, not only out of thfe- church, but - grossly immoral, therefore our position must be false." With sorrow* wo' admit the fact of mdny godless 'ohildred, descendants of godly parents, but utterly repudiate the use made df ifc Ubis'mny be hdcounted for taoBt satisfactorily without calling into question the truth of GodVword. ' ' '' 'It'mby ansa from want of faith in the truth of the doctrine that we are advocating on the part of pafrehta; Where' such practioa] skepticism is Found there will follow inevitably a want of a course of training adapted to such an end. To doubt the truth, thd UnyiTyin'g truth of the declaration: M Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old be will not depart from it," is to defeat the whole work of Christian parents thus doubting. To be without uny fixi-d principles ou thin vitohtrufh is at once tantamount to failure. Success in the secular or religibus world never attends those who beiieve" success cannot be attained,' fha yo'ting4'man'tvho has made up his mind tbat'be' can never be an artist, a roaster uiechauic, or a scholar, is sure to realize bll that be believes on the subject and no more. Faith is iudispeusabio to success on any subject. The fact stated in the objection may arise in the second place from an erroneous view, on the part of parents, as to the mode of accomplishing 't!ie work. There are many good parents who firmly believe the truth of God'a word on' this subject, and who sincerely a'.m to "bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," and yet owing to some defect in their government or discipline, or from a failure to understand the peculiarity of disposition or'tem'pef ament of their children, often eadly fail. Of ull dut es none is more difficult than the proper training: of children. An error commuted at tbe comniencetnen't of a child's religious training ma; ruin it for time and efcternity. Some, like Eli, fail to administer proper and timtly correction, and from a mistaken; but well meant kindnee.*, a|low their children full liberiy on all subjects. ^ome 'persons go put upon the principle that young persons, especially j boyo, will necessarily have their days of .gHity asd sin?that 'they roast 30W their | wild oats, but that after awhije, when they get older, refleot mote and settle down in life, they will come back to virtue's paths and walk therein. Where such views pre: vftil that children'should grow up in wickedness ia but what'* CQtfld b.3 expected. Failure often results in the third place from a want of steadfast co-operation an ' agreement on the pat t of both paren* the work o( training. One will puoisli for wrong doing, believing that ''foolishness is bound op in the heart of a child, but tbe rod of correction will drive it far from him," and tbe other pet and condole wit b them when so corrected. We know the mother of a family of two sons, and believe her to be deyoteflly ^ioua, ^t- arp credibly informed that while ber boys were growing up sbe could pot endure to see tbe father punish them, and would iuvariably screen than force tbe rod. The father wa9 an excel' ent minister of tbe gospel, bat years since called to hi* reward. The mother still lives, but witboqt tbe presence and sup port of ber sons, who grew op in dissipation and shame, and have wandered as vagrants over tho world- how could the result have been otberwne.? How ex pt&tiin-defiance of alt the divinely established principles oil the subject, that tbey 8bonld have grow\i !tfl>. other than wicked, practically illustrating'the inspired declaration, MA child left to' himself bkirfgeth bis mother to shame ?" '11 Again, others in maintaining their right- ; ful authority over their children, do it in s temper and spirit eo foreign to Christianity As to implant, at an early age, a deep seated prejudice in the minds of tbeir cbildrep against religion. Tbey leave the impression (bat piety is amorose, sullen, gloomy something instead of a way of pleasantness. Andubusfrom well-meant, honestly intend ed, tiutf excessive severity, they fail to attain ibte/dtefrfcd end, V '"'The warit of a consistent example on the )Mrt of parents often defeats and centralizes their ke*t counsel. This is what Arcbbisobp Tillotson calls, "beckoning to chil* dren with the bead to show them the way uyiieaverv while you take than by the hftfidand lead them it) tbe way-..to bell." Iacoy first charge, a mao Iq middle life, laid *0 die with team in bis eyei, *1 know I ougbt to be Christian, and ifkja to be bvt, bat air, the' example of q^jEaiber fa itid difi^calty in tho way."

Q < >., My Youko Readers:?Just as the pn^er came to hand Containing the first of this series of letters jp which'we were reminded of our promise to try to interest and projjt yojj by'furnishing 8awe jritere6ting point fiom history, we were engaged in readiqg, in Holliu's Ancient JliStory, an account of Ptolemy Philadelphu*. And so, as we do not intend to pohfine ourself to any regular order, in presenting you with these' historical gleaning?, we concluded to begin with tbe~ abojre character. 'What arreBted our attention particularly,concerning this man, was hia name. Ptolemy Soter, which iu the Greek means Saviour, was the father of the man of whom wo are writing. The f^ier was one of /our who divided ,?die kingffom of Alexander the Great amoDg themselves, lie had, as bis portion, Egypt, Lybia, Arabia, Ccelo syria and ^"jestine. No w before you read any further get your map and look out those countries. About two years before Ptolemy Soter died he appointed *?s his successor to the throne Ptolemy Philadelphus. But what about his name ? Wtd!, here is what struck us: Philadelphus is from two Gre? k words, and tncans M a lover of'his brethren;" but this man "charged two of his brothers with forming designs' against his life, and then caused them to be put to1 death." A strange way to love our brethren," iurely 1 But as I am writing these articles for the benefit of my little readers, but also'for those who, whilo yet in a state of youth, are approaching manhood and womanhood,f will here say that this man "received the sdrdaroe of Philadelphus agreeably to a figure of speech called aniiphrasiswhich M tlie use of words iq a sense opposite to' their proper meaning, So, then, he was called a lover of his brethren, because he was a murderer of ihem. But it would have been far belter had he been called Ptolemy Phoneudelphus and then all would have known that he was a murderer, and that of his own brothers. ' ' This habit of calling things by their wrong names has in almost every inBtanoe a bad effect. It makeB the nuillv o J less conscious of the enormity of their sin and is very likely to pervert the public conscience. Thus, when a man in charge of some great trust, say an officer of a bank or of government, cheats the party whose agent he is, of the small item of fifteen, twentydve, fifty or a hundred thousand dollars, he ie politely called a defaulter. To call him a rogue, a thief, which be is, and the worst kind, is thought to be too harsh, it might hurt his feelings and be a reflection on tLe large circle of first families to which be is related. Had a poor man been a defaulter, that is, had he stolen to the amount of fifty dollars, "stop thief" would have been on every body's tongue, and lie must needs be arrested, tried and penitentiaried. The safety of properly and the well being of society demanded thnt the thief be' pupisbed. But the poor defaulter who \ias stolen only fifty thousand or such a matter, ought'not to be disturbed. It might disgrace (?) the man to pall him a thief and have him tried. And because of this false name given to his crime, he nor the community have a proper "sens6 (be nature of bis offence. Whenever we see 'such cases we think, "another Ptolerny Philndelphus.'' The wrong oa^ie is given to bis act, and tearful evil to the inuivhlUal and public conscience is the result.

Remember if you would have a pure conscience and an upright character, ycu must learn to call things by their right names. To The Little Qnbo.?Soraetipioa I fear you do not read the Bible much. You get co much interested in the library books and papers that you forget the fountain oi truth. Don't forget lo read tbe Bible. One? a day, at least, read a whole chapter, and gel by "heart one verse to say at night, after }od have prayed. As you lie down to sleep, let tbat one Terse be repeated, that its precious troth may leave its impress on your heart as tbe last lesson, the last joy of the day. I sometimes fear yon don't pray. Saying prayers and praying are quite different. Ask your teacher to tell yt>9 the difference. Yoa'ought to pray at least three time* s day?morning, noon end Pray fpr the pardon of your sins, pray for* a nevr heart, pray for faith, pray for your father (pd mother atod brothers: ai>d sisters, and' ypn* playmate?, pray for [food and raiment.
