Brown, a Cincinnati humorist spoke as follows, in response to ".The La dies :" It may be a light matter for you, ^brethren, to conscript uie in this way, but it is far from being such to me. JDo 3'ou realize what you have culled upon mc to do? Havo you for one single instant considered the magni tude of the task you have thrust upon me 1 You havo not,or that far 1 caching charity Which makes his headquarters in this lodge room would have spared mc. You Impose upon me a task that would have made Hercules turn pale and feel like a small boy with a bile on his elbow. Yon ask mc to enlighten you on a subject that has always been utterly incomprehensible to the minds of men, from the begin ning of humanity down to the last new bonnet?in fact, ever since the morning when the first woman filled her pretty eyes with tears, put on her waterproof find went home to her mother in a high dudgeon, with what she conceived to be a broken heart, and a 'deep-sealed impression that her hubby was a beast, because he persisted in going to the lodge every other night. From that unfortunate morning, I say, up to the present mo ment, woman has been a riddle that ?o man could guess, and yet not one of thorn would give her up. The lit tle boy wasn't far out of the way when he said, "Man is a mister, and woman is a mystery." But a mys tery, you know, is always attractive until it is solved and understood, and as the ladies never have been, and never will be, Fully understood, it is safe to say the time will never come when they shall cease to be attrac tive. My subject is an old one, or at Jeast of uncertain age, but a most in teresting one; especially in the morn ing of youth ; in the days of the first budding mustache, when John Henry Jooks into the love-lit c'3'es of Mary Ellen, and sees in their limpid depths everything in this world "worth look ing for and a large slice of heaven besides. For him the magic pencil pf inspiration itself can produce noth ing brighter than the sweet look o' cffeclionnle confidence that beams upon him at the moment of betrot' ul and fills his heart with noble aspira tions and a new-born interest in the market value of household and kitchen furniture. In the priceless gems of coronets can be found no jewel that ghincs with a brighter anil pu or light than the eyes of love. Brawny smith and relentless anvil have never forged a more binding fetter than has been found in one little tiny golden curl ; and, in all the marvels of mechanism, where, I ask, can you find anything jn machinery that can keep up with a woman's tongue, without a break or smash-up ? Jn many respects women and Ma sonry strongly resemble each other. Both are full of- mystery and devo ted to men. Both are celebrated for theirgood works. Masonry is the handmaid of religion so, also, is woman. The mission of Masonry is to relieve the sutiering,- minister to the distressed, comfort the alllictcd, und watch by the bedside of disease and dea'.h, anil in all these good of fices the soft hand of woman is never miesing. Masonry has signs and symbols to remind its members of all the cardinal virtues, hut in woman they arc all manifest, even to a near sighted man like myself, and require nogilt and tinseled ctpblems to ad vertise their presence. Masonry has \t$ alter, upon which arc pledged vows of fraternity and virtue, but pot more sacred is it than the altar! Of woman's heart, which never shrinks from sacrifice iu behalf of those she] loves. Masonry raises man to sublime de grees of beauty, prunes his heart of vices, and implants in their stead vines of virtues and flowers of fra-1 grant goodness. Woman "raises" jlim also?if he happens to stny late at the lodgo--to sublime degrees of consternation and infinite amaze ment at the high-pressure endurance pf her vocal machinery, while shoj plants on bis alabaster brow u hand that means business and destruction to hair, as she'.wines her taper fin gers in his ringlets, und inquires, with an inflection that pries up the shingles, if this thing is to go on for-! ever. Masonry has its jewels, but! none to compare with woman?atj least many of Ihe brethren think so. In, the hands of the Master the gavel is one of the most impressive instru ments, nnd never fails to enforce si lence, but, in n match for silver cup, brethren, don't you think it would come out about a neck behind the rolling-pin in some lodges you could name ? How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in uni ty ! The wise man didn't say any thing about the sisters getting along together in that samo way, because I in his wisdom he could see itwns one I of the things that couldn't be done. 1 But talk about the compass binding I tho brethren together in fraternal love! Where, may I ask, can be found a greater love without the walls of heaven than that encircled by a mother's arms when they un fold her first-born babe ? To Mason ic cars the square speaks volumes, en joining correct principles and upright conduct toward all mankind, but which, think you, has done most to make men honest, good and honora ble in all the relations of life?the square which wc revere so highly or that formed by the bending limbs of childhood at the mother's knoc, lisp ing forth the first prayer? The "lights" of Masonry have thrown their pure and life giving rays into all the dark corners of earth, and have done much to make the world brighter and better, but, though the beneficent iullucncc of our beloved Order stands as high with me as with the next brother, J am ready to con cede 'hat the bright lights typified in female eyes have penetrated farther, and have done much, aye, much more?and I say it with no irrever ence?to make life sweet, and beauti ful, and grand, than all the lights of Masonry put together. And yet, though our good sisters so strongly resemble Masonry, they have always been more or less antag onistic to it. They can't see why the}' are shut out and debarred from its privileges. "If U12 women arc not good enough to belong to your fraternity," say the pouting fair one?, "will you please tell us why not:" That it is the very trouble, dear mad am and miss. You are too good. The necessity for your membership does not exist. Of the highest possible good yon are the embodiment. Now Masonry was founded for the express purpose of making mai better?for the Lord knows they needed it. There was an abundance cf material ready at hand to work on, and Masonry undertook a lug contract when she assumed the job. But with the crinolined angels Masonry had no mission, because they were al ready better than Masonry could ever hope to become, and so you were left out of the programme, with no slight intended. If Masonry ever gels the advance of you in true good ness you may rest assured the doors will be thrown wide open, and the Tyler will be instructed to oppose no body wearing back hair. But if that time ever comes, the prediction goes 011 record right here, that you will be so fully occupied in taking an invent tory of what the candidate has on that the sublimity and impressive ncss of the ceremonies will do you but little good. The man who said you were kept out because you could uot keep a secret was the basest kind of a slanderer, and not a married man, or he would have known better. Ask any census-taker who have ever tried to find out a woman's age and how well he succeeded, and see if the good man don't heave a sigh, and be gin talking of the weather right away. But, though woman cannot be come a Mason in all '.hat the term implies, the close observer of human , nature will bear me out when 1 say that in nine cases out of ten she is the Master of the Lodge, and no one understand better than she how to wear the apron nnd call the breth ren to refreshment, She may not be able to give the password in due form, but, if she don't know how to give the last word every time, and in all sorts of forms, will some bro ther have the kindness to inform me who docs/ And whan she gives one grip?on a man's hair?something has got to give way. 1 never call any man a bald-bead, or indulge in personalities, but u glance around this lodge-room will show that I talk like Truth on the witness block. Altbougii woman connot come ns an Entered Apprentice to tho inne., sanctuary, she never fails to cuter, heart and soul, into every good work. It is easier?ten thousand limes easi er?for her to pass another woman on the street without looking back than it is for her to pass to the de gree of Fellow Craft; but when it comes to making u "raise" to buy Christmas presents, or pay off a church debt, she is rght at home every time brethren j and talk about] "lectures"?but I must draw the line somewhere. Woman J the divinest work of the Supreme Architect! The shrine to which all hearts must come! Poets have gone into rhapsodies over her beautiful eyes, her will has swayed the destinies of nations, and her "won't" has kicked up all sorts of trouble. Kings and Princes have bowed the knee in obedience to her mandates, and the small boy has made woe eloquent when inspired by the slipper swaying to and fro in her lovely hand?an emblem, by the way, which she can extract more good from than the Master of this lodge. Bless the ladies! We admire them for their many virtues, and love them?well, just because we can't help it. Our Bodies After Death. Within a very near approach to truth the human family inhabiting the earth has becif estimated at 1,000, 000,000 ; the annual loss by death is 18,000,000. Now, the weight of the animal matter of this immense body cast into the grave is no less than 631,000 tons, and ittTOeconiposition produces 1),000,000,000'000 cubic feet of matter. The vegetable productions of the earth clear away from I he earth the gasscs thus generated, and decomposing and assimilating them for their own increase. This circle of changes has been going on ever since man became an occupier of the earth, lie feeds on the lower animals and on the seeds of plants, which in due time become a part of himself. The lower animals feed upon the herbs and grasses, which, in their turn, be come the animal; then, by its death, again passes into the atmosphere and arc ready once more to be assimilated by plants, the earth or bone substance alone remaining where it is deposited, and not even there unless suilicicntly j deep in the soil to be out of the insor- j bent reach of the roots and plants and trees. It is not at all dillicult to prove that the elements of which the living bodies of the present genera tion are composed have passed through millions of mutations, and lormcd parts of all kinds of animal and vegetable bodies, and consequent ly it may be said that fractions of the elements of our ancestors form por tions of ourselves. Flying from a Harem. A young female slave has escaped from the harem of the cx Khedive at Resina and taken refuge in an oppo site house, in which lives a young j gentleman who bad fallen i:i love with her from seeing her at the win dow, and with whom she bad manag ed to carry on a pantomimic wooing. It seems that the young man's nllcc tion is sincere, for he has now ap plied to the municipal authorities of Resina to publish the notice of his in tended marriage with the interesting young fugitive. But the authorities arc much embarrassed by this re quest, for the Italian law demands that all strangers wishing to marry must produce a certificate from the authorities of their native country , Lhat there exists no impediment, ami is this young girl, now only lb' years of age, was sold in Cairo when % mere baby, no one knows to whom lo apply. The young beauty says licr name is Nasik Missak and that she believes she is a Circassian. The municipal authorities have applied to Lhc government for advice us, lo what they should do. Flight of a Priest. Deputy Collector Robinson, of West field, Mass., has obliged Father A. B. Dufrcsnc, the French Catholic priest at Ilolyoke, to settle for selling liquor without a United Slctcs licenso and be has left for Canada. He had four casks of liquor in the basement of the church, in the same room where the juvenile school was held, and several persons, ready to testify, have bought of him. Eufresnc is the priest who told his people not to pa tronize Joseph Barker, tho hackman, who bad displeased him, and so de stroyed his business, for which Bar ker recovered $3,400 damages.?Ez cJiangc. Widows. There is nojjiuman being under tlic sun half so interesting us the widow. Pathos, tenderness, and subdued mel ancholy hallow the person of a beau tiful young widow as many scented perfumes sweeten the atmosphere which lovingly caresses a bed of June roses. She is the incarnation of an amorous poem and the heroine of a tragedy. SI13 has been wooed and won, has indulged in exquisite dreams of love in a shoreless para dise, gazed into the unfathomable abysses of the unknnwn through the fading eyes of her lover husband, suffered the stormy pangs of separa tion in the Valley of the Shadow of j Death, and out of the gloom, stepped j again into the glaring sunlight of life, her 030s dimmed with tears. This struggle with the forces of life |and death?this sublime episode, too j brief to chill the heart?has stirred j all the emotions and passions of her {soul to their profoundcst depths. With the bloom of gir'hood still on her check, and the careless pride of youth still Hashing in her eye, she realizes that joy, grief and agony have conferred upon her all the pow ers and rcsponsibillies of mature wo manhood. She tenderly lays away the remains of h(ir husband in the ground, weeps, plants dowers in the "headed up earth," and resumes her pilgrimage. And as the turf, water ed with gentle showcis, after a lime springs with living green, so the young widow dries the tears with happy smiles, and blooms afresh like the rose. Let mankind beware of Ibis woman in weeds! Beautiful as a girl, charming as a wife, she is enchanting as a widow ! Docs she choose to please, she is as coy as aj maiden just buddirg into woman hood, and her widow's cap half con ceals, half reveals her blushes. Is she assailed so much l>3' a rude glance, she summons the aid of her late husband with a wave of her crape veil, and, like lightning chill ing from the*Cimmerian depths of a cloud, Hashes back a glance of min gled reproach and scorn, lie who would not surrender forever the free? doom of bacbcloihcod?he who would not become, on the instant, a desper ate, fond, foolish, slavish lover, be yond the hope of reprieve?lot him floe the fascinating sociciy of the young and charming widow who smiles or frowns from downcast eyes upon whose lashes trembles a tear. John Gilpin and Ella Stanford. John Gilpin was thin, callow and awkward ; Ella Stanford, bonnic, buxom and loving. They worked on neighboring farms at Middlctown, Conn., and last Wcdnsday they went before the 'squire and were married.! The next thing on the programme was the wsdding tour. Neither had money. Both had good, stout shoes. Keeping excellent stop as bulb hearts heal as one, they set out to walk to Wood bury to visit John's old folks. Wednesday night found them on the road pushing on through the snow. Ail day Thursday they pressed on, and as night fell they stopped at a lilllo inn by the roadside. John was very much used up on Friday because of llie long walk, but Ella lent him u shoulder, 1 ml so the wedding tour was continued. As Iho two ap proached within four or five miles of Woodbury, John gave out, and per sons who kindly asked what was the ma tor heard only from Ella a request to borrow a wheelbarrow, At last, when a neighboring farmer learned that llie pedestrians had just been married, he lent thorn a barrow, and tenderly placing the groom in this the bride wheeled him in triumph to the old folk in Woodbury.?Neto York World. Says J\ck's Sun: Two Congress men who own a paper mill have got more influence in Washington than all the friends of all the newspapers in America. A hundred paper man ufacturers can hohl this country by the nose, and the newspapers uro as helpless as puling infants. The boast cd influence of Ihn press don't amount to row of no-headed pins, and the sooner newspapers quit imagining they have influence the better it will be for them. Belter all turn news paper pirates, and when a man comes for olllce prove conclusively that ho has just escaped Stale prison, where he was sentenced for murdering his grandmother. Tho papers havo al ways tried to do tho fair thing and it don't pay. Congarco Democratic Club. Editor Orangcburg Democrat: Pursuant to notice, the Congarcc Democratic Club met on Saturday, the 10th of April, at 3 o'clock P. M., and was called to order by the Presi dent. The call of the County Chair man and the rules of the Democratic parly were read by the Secretary, after which the names of fifty mem bers were enrolled. An cleetion was held for olllccrs to serve for the two ensuing years, winch resulted in the unanimous choice of the following gentlemen: President, F. M. Prick et; Vice-Presidents, D. Braddy and II. C. Pauling ; and Secretary, K. L. Arthur. The following wot king committees were appointed: On Registration, W. W. Wise, W. L. Buyck and T II. IIcape ; Executive Committee, Capl. B. W. Braddy, J. II. Arthur, A. A. Stabler, J. W. Ruckcr and T. E.! Barsh. Mr. V. M. Pricket was unani mously chosen to represent the Club ! on the County Executive Committee. The following preamble and resolu tions were offered and adopted : W;ikki-:as, there seems to be a dif ference of opinion among our leaders on two points, namely; The two thirds rule und the lime of nomina ting State uiliucrs ; and whereas, iu our opinion the success of the party depends greatly upon the character and ability of our leaders ; and where as wc think such things can be most satisfactorily settled by the delegates going to the Convention from the local clubs under instructions from their constituents ; therefore, be it resolved, 1st, That wc consider the noblest part of Democracy consists in a sub mission of a minority to the will of a majority in all things. gd, From the position of the proba ble candidates at present, we deem it I est to postpone the Stale and Con gro sional nominations until later in the summer. 3d, That wc believe Mr. S. R. Mel-i lichamp to lie a man in every way ? suitable for County Chairman and in every way competent to till that im portant position and to lead the party lo success. The delegates were instructed iu accordance with the above resoln tions. The Club then adjourned lo meet on the second Saturday in June at clove:: o'clock, A. M. E. L. Aktiick, Secretary C. D. C. Ladies About to Marry. In mat tying make your own match | do not marry any man to get rid of him or save him. The man who would go to destruction without you would quite as likely go with you, und per haps drag you along. Do not marry in haste lost you repent at leisure ; do not marry for homo and a living, when by taking care of your health you can be strong enough lo earn your own living. Do not let fathers or mothers sell yoc for money or a posi tion into bondage, tears, and life-long misery, which you alone must endure. 1 Do not place yourself habitually in : the society of any suitor until you 1 hava decided the question of mar- 1 riage ; humun wills are weak, and peo ple often become bewildered, and do i not know their error until it is too late. Get away from their influence, settle your head and make up your mind alone. A promise may be made in a moment of sympathy, or even half delirious ecstasy, which must be redeemed through years of sorrow, toil and pain.?Christian Union. , Luck is Pluck. When a man is fortunate be boasts of his good management and shrewd- ? uess ; when he is what is termed un fortunate, he conipjuics of his ill luck. It is said that Providence always smiles on the side of the best and , most bayonets and heaviest guns. Cannot the same principle be applied lo fanning? Suc-ccot is the result of good management, of the best breeds of cattle, best tools and the richest soils. Success springs from economy in saving and making manures and in the judgment used in their ap plication. It consists iu the proper selection of seeds, the lime of mow ing the grass, the way and manner of tilling the ground, vigilance in de stroying weeds, the care of cattle and the manner of feeding, iu keeping fences iu order and tho building in good repair. These aic a few of the elements of good luck. Nbw Youk actually proposes lo have a couple of hangingSi^-Chastine Cox, the negro who murdered old Mrs. Hull, and Pietro Balbo, who brutally blabbed bis wife to death? being the doomed men. They arc both worthy subjects for the halter. AlFuture Nomination. All tho Democratic calculations rest on the assumption that their can didate will receive the united South ern vote. With a "solid South" he would need only forty-seven electoral votes in the North, and New York is relied on to lurntsh thirty-live of the forty-seven. But Mr. Tilden's can didacy would upset the whole calcula tion. It wotdd break the solid South by the loss of three important States, which would of itself lend to inevita ble defeat, and it would give the indis pensable Stale of New York to the Republicans. The party cannot ulford to lose the three Southern States in question, even if it could count securely on New York, it could not afford to lose New York, even with an absolute certainty of a unani mous South. Mr. Tilden's nomina tion would burn the candle at-bulb ends by throwing away New York in the North and throe important Stales in the South. This is not our opinion, but the opinion of intelli gent representative Democrats, who take tho personal responsibility of publicly avowing it. It is but a few days since letters were published from seventy Democratic editors in New York, and fifty-seven ofthesev only depreciate ihc nomination of Mr. Tilden on the ground that there is no chance of his election. And now we print Opinions of the same tenor fiom nearly all the Congiess men of till Co important Southern Stales. Tho Democrats of New York do not believe that Mr. Tilden can carry his own Stale; the Demo crats of Virginia, Louisiana and Mis sissippi despair of carrying their'1 respective States for Mr. Tilden, although they lire confident of an; easy success with any other Candi-h date. If by his unmalchablc dexteri ty in packing conventions by his < "still hunt" methods he should sue- 1 cecd in getting the nomination what would it avail wheu so many i lid is- 1 pensablc States are certain to vote against him??Xcw York ljerald. ' The Responsive Chord. In the eaily spring of 18G3, when Ibe Confederate and Federal armies were confronting each other on the opposite hills of Stafford and Spoil sylvaniu, two hands chanced one evening, at the same hour, to begin to discursc sweet music upon either bank Df the river. A large crowd of the soldiers of both armies gathered ? to listen to the music, the friendly I pickets not interfering, and soon the | bands began to answer each other, j First the bond on the northern bank j would play "Star Spangled Banner," "Hail Columbia," or some other na tional air, and at its conclusion the "boys in blue" would cheer most lus tily. And then the band on the southern bank would respond with "pixie," or "Bonnie Blue Flag," or some other Southern melody, and the "boys in gray" would attest their ap probation with an "old Con ft derate yell." But presently one of the bands struck up, iu sweet ami plaintive notes which were wafted across the 1 Rappahunnock and caught up at once by the other band and swelled into a grand anthem which touched every , heart, "Home, Sweet Home!" At the conclusion of this piece there went lip a simultaneous shofrt from both sides of the river. Cheer followed , cheer, and those bills which had so recently resounded with hostile guns, echoed and re-echoed the glad ac claim. A chord had been struck re- , sponsive to which the hearts of ene mies?enemies then?could boat in unison ; and, "on both sides of the river, Something down the soldier's cheek i Washed oil the stains of powder. To Hang for Killing a Negro. At iho lute term of court in Spar tnnburg Thomas White, charged with the murder of l'ct Hawkins, a negro, was tried and the jury returned a ver dict ol guilty. The prisoner is a white man, about 28 or 30 years of age, and the facts brought oitt in the trial clearly proved that ho deliberate ly shot tho deceased without the slightest provocation. Tho defense did not introduce any evidence, but While pretends total ignoiancc of llie deed, and further alleges that he was so intoxicated as lo he oblivious ol everything. His jury was composed of white men, whose veidict will probably stagger sonic Republicans, ever ready to exaggerate and misrep resent the stale of u Hairs iu South Carolina. Whilo was sentenced to be hanged on the 23rd of April. Ill ? I?? I? I II II Ill IlllWIIWJIj????!?! ??IBIIMUBII A Tragie Romanoe. Chicago, April 14.?A telegram te? the Times, from Kansas City, says.-: "The simple announcement a few days ago of the murder of a woman named Thomas by Sam Broom field,.in Washington Territory,.was explain ed to-day in detail to your correspou ent by Mrs. Broomlield, the wife ot the murderer. She says the murder ed woman is Mrs. Frank Shanks, rae Miss Kdriugton, formerly living near Iudcpendance, Mo. She was marri ed to Broomfield's stepson in 187G, soon after which the young couple went to Broomfield's house \p live. Brootnfield, up the time of the mar riage of his son, was a highly esteem ed and wealthy farmer, and was con sidered a most honorable' -man. lie was a hard worker, and was noted us a thorough business man. As soon as the bridle couple took up a perma nent residence in the house be fell violently in love with hto stepson's wife. Broomfieid was 49 and Mrs. Shanks was 16, but, notwithstanding the disparity in years she returned his passion, caressing him so much, even iu the presence of tho plbe members of the famjjy, that Mrs. Broomfield insisted that she should leave tho house.

Soon after arriving at the farm near Kansas City a deputy marshal ap peared with a warrant of arrest for him on a charge of rape, and flic in nocent victim of what afterwards was ascertained to be a foul conspiracy was obliged to hide in the brush, pur sued and hunted by a posse.
