John Evan ge lists' Day, 1&67. BY REV. C CIIABLES BETTP, 32" Rt W. P. G. M, M. E IT.. P., Worshipful JWasfer. Ladies and Breih ren. I cannot more worthily preface the remarks i-hall make, (which the Committee of Arrangements dignify by the ikle Oration,") than to laud the name, extol the sagacity, the skill, the wonderful knowledge of human nature, the profound acquaintance with Atasonic nature of that most fortunate, n j;t felicitous of committee?, the Com mittee on By-Law?; who in their amendatory care, inserted this clause n cur By Laws. ; 'This Lodge shall hold a festival on the eve of St. John's - Day in each year." Etch member of that Committee ought to be awarded every year, an unbounded supply ci oysters and a large silver table-spoon, and his name handed down to posterity in connexion with Mackey on Masonic Jurispru dence and Mrs. Hale on The Art of Cooking. ' On these happy occasions, when the dreadful Tyler does not stand between the assembled Lodge and the rest of the world, when all the horrible ma chinery that timid good people say we Masons keep is laid away out of eight, pnd we meet together ,lon the level," and with all that makes life lovely our wives and staters and daughters around us, partake of the genercus good things, and witness the solemn induction into ofiice of those elected to preside, w at least breathe the atmo'. phere of Masonry and rejoice even though we cannot set foot on the Planet wc can view these wonderful stars (the officers with the incompre hensible names) and discover that they thine no more brightly at' a distance than within the immediate preciacts cf the Lodge. To day we wi'.n?sed the installation of the officers of a Lodge of a Frater nity the oldest in the world. Herein the heart of the western . i i empire, wnose Lirtn oay is out as yes tcrday, is a living working organization claiming kiruhip. with the Lodges of the dim pist. You know with what reverence we stand beneath seme immense structure, and gaze with awe upon its vast pro portions its towering grandeur where stately columns rob-d in in the gathered weeds of age, sustain the goodly pile, whose dim tisles, ivy cov ered walls and deserted cloisters speak of the wonderful" past. More preten tious and shewy indeed, ar the man sions of last year, bespangled and be spattered with the tinsel and finery of depraved taste, but who looks twice at them? While the gnzz'ed, time- worn edifices that real wealth and im mense lat or - constructed, that . have sustained the shock of years and the tempests of centuries, rear their honor ed heads proudly above these dwarfs. askings among men, and we involun tarily bow before them. All men love relics they cling to the riast. thev dor t know what is to come, and so they hold tenaciously to what they think they do know some thing of. And this is not only true of the au cienl sleepy, lazy nations, as we some times call them, of the old world, but humanity is the same everywhere, and xoTire America in jaunty cop, incipi ent moustache, and go-ahead- in'a-hurry principles, loves to carry about a bit of lava from Ml Vesuviusa' cane from the Cedars of Lebanon, a tobacco box madafrom the wood of - the 'arte and any other post or ante-diluvian remains he can lay his fingers on. ; We love the past and it is well we do it teaches us to reverence the great that are gone, and think charitably at east, of the less important; and jrives us Faith in the present and the future So not only Masons, but the better part of men generally think of this Ancient and Honorable Order. Time makes the learning of the past almost foolishness, but to Masonry it add Wisdom. Time weakens most things but to. Masonry it gives strength Time defaces the figure and .tnulders and mildews the vorks of the past, but to Masonry it vouchsafes Beauty. So that on these wonderful pillar?. Wisdom, Strength and Beauty our edi fice is erected never to be desiroyd- Ma?on honor the past because they, honor God ihy think there is reflec ted upon their order, the image of some of his attributes, and iha grace of obe dience to some of his comrrw nds. Among the former, Unihangeatlene?s, Universality and Stability. Among the latter, Faith, Hope aud Charity And even as the , blessed Apostle said: "of these the greatest is Charity;" and he whose memory we commemorate to day, made it the burden of his life song. So the bumble boast of Masons always and everywhere is Charity to all jMartkitd. Masonry is not a system of meaningless rites in which candidates are put through a sort of Military drill, with no apparent object in view beyond the iniiiaiion fee, but in all its Ceremo mes there is a majestic symbolism of the truest morality, and a soul stirring epitome of knowledge. Masonry is not a system of Philosophy, but the seven wise men of Greece, with all the snges of all time past, never per fected a scheme of more useful max ims or truer logic. ... Mnsonry is not a system of Trilo gy, but it is ripe with all that teaches true religion. Masonry is a link, however, be tween earth and heaven, for it takes of the stones of the one and builds there with a house to the other. But people say to us: You have -so many bad men amongst you. Yes, we confess it, we have, and they are very bad Afasons, and we are just as sorry for it as you are. But, speak low, dear friends, dcu't say loo much about it, for I assure you there are so many bad men everywhere that we really fear if a thorough investigation nas instituted we could not tell where it would end. Besides, I really pity those ( very good people who are afraid to touch a dad max. I can allow a gcod deal lor nervousness but cannot say much for their Christianity. . Suppose there are bad men, what is my mission as a Mason and as a Minister, and yours too as men and women, but to go to him and sav, ALi dear brother (-Ilove you too well to suffer y u to injure yourself and me so much;" and if he hould say how do I injure you? why tell him "y. u are preventing me from either benefitting you or beinij benefit ted ly your society." This is Alasonry We keep it as pure as we can, and if a black sheep gets in. we try with the best patented testorer, Brotherly Love, to change his color, and never until he proves himself . very obstinate do ;we begin to pluck o it the wool, and when we do. it is bv a hair at a time, so that we may hurl him as little as possible. And this is Christianity, too, as taught by St.-John the Lvangelist, Let us ove one another.' L.et us pluck the mote out of our own eye Let him that is without sin cast the first stone." Had Masonry not existed how many bad men there are that would have been'mucA worse. How many good men, that would have been bad. But my bad brethren, wherever you are in this hall, I am not excusing you. Do not," I beg of you, shield yourselves behind the mantle we cover you with. If we are charitable enough to hide .your faults, be you honorable enough not to blame us with them. If you are bad, you know M-t sonry never made you so, and never would have knowingly permitted you to pass her tyled door. And just be cause you sneaked in through absolute perjjry and now we are uyiDg to make the best of a bad bargain and loving you against your deserts please do not be cowards also, to permit peo ple to imagine we made you bad men. Take advantage of our generosity, and wipe out the reproach to the Order by instant reformation But let m be understood vyhenjl' vay,. that I am not soliciting anything for Masonry. I am not mentioning objections in order to refute them, so that I can come tD any one in the .audience and say: . "Now please be a Mason." Masonry asks nothing-from the world, not even to be lei alone. She stands complete in her self; deeper than the hieroglyphics up on the rocks of her birth place is her name proud and triumphant engra ven uDon the world's history. "Her light has fallen . wherever the fcot of man has fallen on this globe. Her councils liave sbeen powerful ia the most potent of counsel. Her influence has swayed the firmest rock that goir ernmeotshave builded on. Her love has stretched its wide arms over blood iest battle fields and reverently planted the . Acacia above the dead of every name. God bles our noble Order. lis maxims, and emblems alike, are overflowing with all that is good and noble and lofiy-in . thought, word or deed. ; There is no figure upon our walls n r legend in our story that does not point to Him. '' : My brethren ' "Let there be light." How many Masons there are that were never brought to liht !! The beginning of a new Masonic year, if or course a time ot great im portance to us. We are to be rul'ed and guided r.nd counseled and taurht by new men. We always hop, for the best. Let u also labor for the best. We have pledged ourselves to be true to them and they to u; but they are ike children; their early steps must be assisted. You must hold out your hands and say "I am with you my officers, in all your laudable efforts." Hold out to them the sweetmeats of your love and approval, to' lure them on in their trying and often unpleasant task. . They are to govern you. but they want to do it as your children sometimes govern you, by kisses and soft eudearments, , And if you encotir- e them by your constant presence and ready help, all wd' be well. Platt?fr.ouih Lodge, Na. 6, bears a splendid reputation among the p:her Lodges on the roll of the Grand Lodge. That this is so, is due, in the main to the unwavering fidelity, untiring zeal, great courtesy and eminent ability or our beloved brother, ' Worshipful Past Master Duke. I would be untrue to the heartfelt affection, the warm love of his brethren, if I did not thus pub- 1 cly refer to his devotion to the craft and unremitting attention to the duties of his office while Master of this Lod e For three years he has filled th's sta tion with honor; and were it not for his own modesty and truly Masonic desire to prefer another, he would have worn the Master's jewel again. We hive always met "upon the lev el" and we part in the relation of Mas ter aud brethren -'upon the square." "We have travelled lonff together. Hand in h ia. and heart in tieart. Both through fair and stormy weather, Aud 'tis hard "tii hard to part." But the lessons we have been taught will linger with us, nnd in rallying around our new Master and Wardens we will remember that they aUo have been tried and found faithful. They have purchased to themselves these good degrees by their fidelity aud zeal, and we will not only acouiesce in the Ceremonies of this hour, but stand by them like brethren, giving them all the aid our constant support can give. I certainly wish tint , every .Mason had a five pointed, star always about him, to help remind him of the solemn and touching-lessons it teaches, and which, always needed, is never more useful than at a time such as this. And since Masonry ever points to something higher, we have here to day and sharing in these festivities a Chap ter of Royal Arch Masons, to the highest office in which P. M. Duke has been elected. The name of 11. W Brother Wheelet most be closely con nected with the history of Nebraska Chapter, No. 3, as a firm friend, con slant promoter, and able expounder o Masonic principles. Universal testi mony to his honorable Masonic stand iog is before us, in the high office he has held in the order, the highest it could cure him. He retires from the position of M. E. H Priest of this Chapter with the love of all his com panions. Companions of the Royal Craft, re member the words you bear upon your brow; carry them also in yot r hearts. Let the mark of a master workman be upon all you da or say. Let the fer vour and devotion of a Most Ex. Mas ter ever gain you the blessed approval of Him, bef re the light of whose glory all Masons prostrate themselves. And may you, by the help of your great guide, journey safely over the rough and rugged road that lies before every pilgrim in this wilderness, escaping, so far as may be, the falling timbers of pai:i, and tne crumbling walls pi ruin, and by the help of your blessed Signet at last safely pass the veils of this troublesome world into the land of ev erlasting light, to the presence of the Supreme Grand Council, where the inoeuse of unceasing praise bums day and night. And should you in your earthly career be biset with the storms of life, and darkness and misfortune gather around , you, let the words ot Masonry comfort you. Your trust is in God, your fahh is well founded, and brethren are willing with outstretched lands to shield and protect you. And now my brethren, I have done have purposely refrained from .indul ging in any of the usual flights of fan cy common to the production known as Oration." I designed and had lime only for a short and plain brotherly talk, as, you must be aware that the descent from the etherealised region of a Masonic Oration to. the creature comforts of a good Supper would be tor rapid to be sufficiently graceful.. And yet I am not unmindful of what is due both to you, the subject, aud the occasion; for a3 I had forty minutes assigned me, and I have occupied fif teen, I shall ask your indulgence and attention to a beautiful . composition of Bro. A. J. Duganne of New York, as a fitting close to these interesting cere monies. The Wife's Prayer. If there is anything that comes nearer o the: im- ploration-J of Naomi than the subjoined, we have not chenced to see 't : "Lord, bless and protect that dear person whom thou hast chosen to be my husband;' let his life be bng and blessed, comfortable and holy; let me also become a great blessing and com fort unto him, a sharer in nil his sor rows, a meet helper in all the accidents and changes in the world; make me ever amiable in his eyes, and forever dear unto him. Unite bis heart to me in the dearest love and holiness, and mine to him in all sweetness and com pliam p. - Keep me from nil unen- tleness, and discontentedness, and un reasonableness of passion and of humor. und make me humble and obedient, useful and subservient, that we may delight each other according to thy blessed Vcru, and both or us may re joice in Thee, having our portion in the love and service of God forever Amen."

We know not the author of the sub- oined article, but specially commend it to our youhtful readers: , O, be kind to those in the autumn- f life, for thou knowest not what suf ferings they have endured, how, much it may still be their poition to bear. Are they querulous and unreasonable? Allow not thine anger to kindle against them rebuke them not, for doubtless many and severe have been the crosses and trials of earlier years; and per chance their dispositions, while in the spriiig time of life, were more gentle and flexible than thine own. Do. they require aid of thee? Then rendor it cheerfully, and do not forget fhat the time may come when thou mayest de sire the same assistance from others that thou now renderest unto them. Do all thai is needful for the old, and do it with alacrity, and think it not hard if much is repuired at thine hand; est when age has set it seal upon thy brow, and filled thy limbs with trem bling, there may be found those who will wait upon thee unwillingly and who will feel relieved when ihe coffin lid has covered thy face forever. The old must soon pass from this to another world- Is it a world of bliss? Then though they have much to' cheer them through the remnant of their earthly existence, be kind, very kind, to them, for they have many sorrows to endure, before they seek the abodes of happi ness; have to pass through the 'valley and shadow of death ' Is it a world of woe to which they are hastening? lave they no hope of Heaven? Then be doubly cautions how thou addest a single drop to a cup already full; for surelv they have enouch to bear, if their prospects for both time and eter nity are shrouded in gloo p."" JS"King Theodore, of Abyssinia, is evidently a man of more sense than he gets credit for being. His knowl edge of the character of the European powers is good. It is reported that ia late . conversation with M. Legrau, the Abyssinian King said: I know the tactics of European gov ernments when they wish to gel po session or Eastern territory, ihey first of all. send missionaries; then consuls to strenghten the missionaries; and finally battalions to strengthen the consuls. I am not a rajah of Hindos tan. to be bamboozled in that way. I prefer to deal with the battalions first CeifWm. B. Schneider, the well known Tyler of the Masonic Lodges of Philadelphiadied there suddenly on the 19 inst. For twenty-three years past he has sat at the Masonic doors, and with unerring skill has recognized the faces and names of the Masons who presented themselves for admission. During that period hundreds of thou sands have belonged to the Order, and he has known them all, and, no matter how long iheir absence, has recognized ihem on presentation. Visitors from neighboring States he has also known and recognized in the same way, and this remarkable faculty has given him wide fame. He was born in Philadel phia in 1816, and succeeded his father in the position of Tyler. E3?J.'R Gilmore (Edmund Kirke) having separated from his wife, the parties met in Newark, Ohio, last week to divide the children. The husband and wife did not come together until the moment of the separation of the children arrived, when the scene was one of dramatic interest and passion. Two of the little ones were assigned to the care of the father, and a third to the mother, who is also permitted to pay weekly visits to the others. The domestic difficulties thus in some sense adjusted, have attracted considerable attention in Boston and elsewhere. CFTwo serious breaks have re cently occurred in the Louisiana le vels one below Plaquemine, the other below Bayou Manchall. The country from there to Lake Ponchatrain and Jackson is .in danger of being sub merged. A large force of workmen has been placed on the latter break. General Hancock has telegraphed for authjrity to place the famishing ne groes at woi.k upon' the levees and to issue them rations.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton publishes card in reply a sharp card in which she says: - . . "I went to Kansas as an individual. with do official action of the American Equal rights Association, with no in structions as to my utterance or affilia tions, without being, supplied by that body with either brains or money, hav ing no communications with it whatever as to my movements, opinions, plans or purposes. Edwin A. Studwell chair man of the Executive Committee of a Woman's Suffrage Association, repu diating Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony on their own life work, is very much like Plymouth Church repudiating. Henry Ward Beecher, or the Presbyterian Synod, trying his venerable father for heresy it is simply ridiculous. "From Lucy Stone's known probity of character, her signature to the above card must have been unauthor ized, as she has never been the Secre-' tary of that association, Susan B. An thony being corresponding, and Henry B.'Blackwell being recording Sectary. "As Lucy Stone so far repudiates the old ideas cf Blackstone, that "hus band and wife are one and that one the busband." as never to have taken Mr. Blackwell's name, she could not so far sacrifice his individuality as to claim the effice to which he was appointed, JEST'Mrs. Cunningham, who will be remembered as connected with the fia mous Burdell tragedy jn New York, is before the public in San Francisco as plaintiff in a divorce suit with her latter day husband, Mr. W.

The broad end of the bonnet should be worn in front to keep off the sun and wind. It is wittily suggested that Dickens has as yet reached oaly two thirds the height he may yet attain. For as yei, he has shown Kis proficien cy in two R's; Readin' and 'Rittin'. There still remains for him the wide field for achievement presented by 'Rithmetic. JKS The following paragraph is floating around through the eastern papers: Wolves have recently appeared in large numbers in Leavenworth, Kan sas, and the inhabitants are frightened. ("Slavery still continues in Ken tucky. They call it apprenticeship, but it is not worth while to differ about names. Colored persons, mostly children and youth, bound as apprentices under the Kentucky laws, are watched, worked, whipped, degraded and brutalized, pre cisely as in the old days when the other name of the system was legal. In many cases, the parents of the children reside in the adjacent counties of Indiana, not daring to venture across. . J2?"Senator Morill, of Vermont, in debate the other day, likened Kentucky in her preient relations to slavery, to "the old silly goose having a nest in the bank of a river, who when a freshet cams ani washed the eggs out of it still remained upon the top of the water paddling over the nest, though the eggs had disap peared a long time before." fTAn Ohio housekeeper recently set arsenic for rats who tracked it all over the food and poisoned the whole family.
