I am one of o band who .will faithfully eland
In the bond. of affection and love;

By the help of a friend, who assistance did lend.
I succeeded an entrinco to gain;

But rot without feeling some pain.
Bore my eonecience waa taught by a moral qulto fraught
With aentlments holy and true; •

What Hiram Intended to do.

And "light" by command did attend ;
When. lel I perceived, in duo form revealed,
A Master, and Brother, and Friend.
Thus far I have stated, and simply related
What happened, when I was made free,
But rye "passed" since then, and wan "raised up" again
To a sublime and ancient degree.
Thence onward I marched, that I might be "Arched,"
And find out those treasures long lost;
When, behold, a bright flame, from the midst of which

Through the "voile" I then went, and interceded at length

In the depths I thou wrought, nod most carefully sought
For treasures so long hidden titers ;

Which Is kept by Um Craft With due core.
Having thus far arrived, I further coutrhod
Among valiant Knights to appear;
And as pilgrim and K night, I stood ready to light,
Nor Saracen foe did I fear.
For rho widow distressed thore'a_a chord in my breast;
For tho helpless and orphan I feel;
And my sword I could draw to maintain the pure law
Which the duty of Masons roveal.

What the "free and accepted" well know;
I am one of a band who will faithfully stand

eEir•The following story of a New
York broker shows something of Chas.
Lamb's delicate humor. The broker,
who like Lamb, stutters, passing down
Broadway, noticed a placard announ
cing that the Siamese Twins were on
exhibition. He entered the hall, asked
the attendant if these were the re-re
real Siamese twins; and upon being
assured that they were, proceeded to
ask a great many questions which
were fully answered. At last, seizing
hold of the ligature that connects-Eng
and Chang, the broker asked “S

looking into the' latter's face, the stut
terer remarked, "B b-rothers I. pre

woman went to Brigham Young for

said : "Let me see, sister—l forget
your nano." "My name !" was the
indignant reply; "why, I am your
wife!" "When did I marry you?"—
The woman informed tho "President,"
who referred to an account book in his
desk, and then said : "Well, I believe
you are right; I know your face was

HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1866.
WIT AND HUMOR.
-PERSEVERE.-
A TALK WITH THE LADIES,
A lady correspondent thus addresses
the gentler sex :
For many months Ido not remem
ber to hare taken in my hands a pa
per which did not contain one or more
recitals of woo and degradation, revolt
ing to all that is good and pure in
heart, or of crimes so horrid that the
reading about them would almost con
geal the blood as it was flowing through
the veins. The question naturally
arises, what can be the cause of all
this wickedness ? Am I in any way
resposiblo or accountable for it ? rs
there any way in which I can mitigate
the evil abroad in our land ? An an
swer has come to me repeatedly, say
ing, Yes, you and your whole sex aro
responsible as those who carry an in
fluence, not only through the circle of
your acquaint:lnc°, but far, fitr, be
yond.
That influence may be "but as a
drop in the mighty ocean," or it may
be as the glorious luminary of day
which lights the earth. According to
that influence you will be held (in
some degree) accountable for its effects.
It has been said that "man ruled the
world, but that woman ruled man!'
Now, if this be true, and all women
are willing to think so, how fearful is
our responsibility.
Ido not ask for my sex a voice in
the halls,of the state or a ballot at the
polls ; but I do ask that many of the
precious moments, now multiplying
themselves into hours, which are spent
perverting or destroying the beautiful
adornments which God has given us,
should be spent by mothers planting
in the hearts of their sons the true
principles and virtues which will ren
der them discerning patriots at the
polls, and moral, upright citizens, at
all times. Leave to the African the 1
frizzled hair as their Maker intended,
and brush your own long silken tresses
in the modest style adorning the true
woman ; then discharge to the best of
your ability, the duty of training the
Immortal spirits entrustecllo your care.
Remember c-erneHa . of old) wee it- be
cause she was the leader of fashion
that the grateful Romans erected to
her memory a monument more envi
able than the beautiful Helen ever
achieved ? Ah ! no, but because she
had trained for themiitwo jewels who
were ornaments to their country.
I call upon the ladies of our broad
land to think of the great and useless
extravagance in which they indulge,
and also to reflect 'upon the moral efo
fects of that extravagance. I do not
now refer esp(cially to the exorbitant
price paid for the fanciful arrangements
of lace and flowers which is placed up
on the crown of the head, nor to the
expensive silk which is gracefully
sweeping the streets ; no, not to these
alone do I refer, though they are a few
of the "littles" that go to form the pon
derous whole which is crushing the
virtue and morality- of our people. •
Perhaps there is ono out of every
twenty of the elegantly-dressed ladies
on our streets, who is peculiarly able
thus to add to the coffers of our mer
chants of every class; thou there aro
eight-twentieths who, regardless of the
hard earned wages of a father or a
husband, are trying to imitate the
heiress of thousands; there may bo four
twentieths who are thus wasting their
own honorably earned money; but
what : then, are the base means to
which the other seven-twentieths of our
sex resort, in order that they may
equal, if not excel, the heiress in rich
ness of apparel and in indolence ? It
may be that the lady of wealth who
reads this will say : "It is not my fault
if made sad by their loved ones in allow
ing them to imitate me ; it is their
I weakness, not mine ; neither is it' my
sin that many sell themselves, body
and soul, in order to excel me, if pos
sible." It is your fault ; because you
delight in being the envied of hun
dreds, not for your love and charity to
suffering humanity, but for the gor
geousness ofyonr habiliments, and be
cease it WAS your heartless demeanor
which has driven many a poor but vir
tuous woman down to the depths of de
gradation ; it is in part your sin, and
one for which you will have to an
swer.
Pause to think of this ; ask yourself
if it would have detracted any from
your position and importance as a .la,
dy to have spoken kindly to that poor
orphan sewing girl, or that tradesman's
daughter, who chanced to wear a robe
of coarser, material than yours ?
Perhaps some one will ask, is it not
our duty to make ourselves (by adorn
ment) as pleasing as possible to those
around us,. especially our, husbands, or
maybe lovers ? It is; but with all this
InFieit oxponditure, are we any more
pleasing than Itachael Wati; . fbr WhMu

or Lucretia, to whom was awarded the
honor of being the most noble lady,
while busy at the loom with her maids?
Think_ of a lady being busy at her
loom! Why many would consider them
selves disgraced by aknOwlege of its
use ! Let us adorn ourselves with that
modesty of bearing,gentleness of tem'
per, and Christain forbearance, which
is more charming as it speaks with
love and kind reproof to an erring sis•
ter or brother, than all the gems of
Golconda ; it is more lasting, for it de
fies the touch of time, and will live in
the influence we have exerted, long af
ter we are sleeping in our lowly beds.
of earth. The reform in the- extrava
gance of both sexes is important ; it is
necessary to our life as a virtuous peo
ple, audit cannot efficiently begin with
one :donator she would only be mark
ed as old and eccentric. It must be
made by a number of ladies of wealth
and position, who can then give the
noble reason which actuates them, and
by the silent workings of their power,
in a few abort years they will achieVe
more than the eloquence of Clay or
Webster over gained. Then think how
rapidly homes could be made to rise
for our maimed defenders, our orphans
and widows, schools for the ignorant,
and hospitals for the suffering.
This "amendment" will rapidly abol
ish the mercenary trade in matrimony
because then there will be no necessity
for the ladies and gentlemen each to
consult the assessor's list for the value
of the ono they love.
Divorcements will he unheard of,
and elopements become unpopular. As
a furtherance of our plan of referm,and
a partial reward, wo ask for the mod
eat girl who is neatly but simply attir
ed, an equal share of the attention
given the flaunting heiress by the
"lords of creation."
Caught in his own Trap,
A girl, young and pretty, and above
all, gifted with an aii• ,admirable
candor, lately presented.; self before
a Parisian lawyer.
"Monsieur, I have come to consult
.g rave affair._ want you
to oblige a man I love to marry me in
spite of himself. low shall I proceed ?"
The gentleman of the bar bad, of
course, a sufficiently elaslic conscience.
Ile reflected a moment, and then be
ing sure that no third person over
heard him, replied hesitatingly :
"Mademoiselle, according to our law,
you always possess the means of for
cing a man to marry you. You must
remain on three occasions alone with
him; you then can go before a Judge
and swear that he is your lover."
"And will that suffice, Monsieur?"
"Yes, Mademoiselle, with ono further
condition."
" Well I"
"Then you will produce witnesses
who will make oath to having seen
you remain a good quarter of an hour
with the individual said to have trifled
with your affections."
"Very well, Monsieur, I will retain
you as counsel in the management of
this affair: Good day."
A few days afterwards the young
lady returned. She was mysteriously
received by the lawyer, who scarcely
gave her time to seat herself, question
ed her with the most lively curiosity.
"Capital, capital."
"Perseimre in your design, Mada
moiselle; but mind, the next time you
come to consult me give me the name
of the young man you are going to
make so happy i❑ spite of himself."
"You shall have it without fail."
A fortnight afterward, tho young la
dy again knocked at the door of the
counsel's room. No sooner was she
within, than she flung herself into a
chair, saying the walk had made her
breathless. Her counsel endeavored to
reassure her, made her inhale salts,and
even proposed to unloose her garments.
"It is useless, monsieur," She said, "1
am much [letter."
"Well now, toll me the name of the
fortunate mortal."
"Well, then, thefortunate mortal, be
it known to you, is yourself!" said the
young beauty, bursting into a laugh.
"I love you ; I have been here three
times tote-a-tote with you,nnd my four
witnesses aro below, ready and willing
to accompany mo to a magistrAte,"

Facts About Sheep and Wool.
We make the following interesting
extracts from the address of John L.
Hayes, Esq., before the National Asso
ciation of Wool Growers, delivered at
the annual meeting at Philadelphia:
Antiquity of Sheep.
We find sheep mentioned in the
most ancient writing, in the first chap
ter of Genesis, in the Persian Zend
Avesta, in the Indian Vedes, and in the
Chinese Chouking, and represented on
the monuments of Egypt. Accord
ing to . Geoffrey Saint Hilaire, the high
est authority . on the origin of : species,
the specific source of our domestic
sheep is unknown. All that is certain
is that the present race originated in
the East; the . primitive names, Bock,
and Boit; found in the most ancient
and Asiatic languages, being preserved'
in our form Buck.
Varieties.
Excepting, perhaps, the dog, the
sheep presents a greater variety of
form and covering than any other ani
imal. Thus we have the coarse Cor
dova and Donskoi wools for our car
pots; tho noble electoral wools of Sax
ony, and Silesia for our broad-cloths;
the strong middle, wools'of the South.
down and our native sheep for blank
ets; the soft, lung, and other merino
wools of France, Vermont and Michi
gan for thibets, del:tines and shawls;
the longer and coarser combing wools
of the Cotswood and' Leicester races
for worsteds in their thousand appli
cations; the very long and bright hair
ed lustre wools of _Lincolnshire for al
paca fabrics, and lastly, the precious
silky Meuchamp wool the recent tri
umph of French egonomic skill, rival
ing even the cashmere for shawls, and
the angora for - Utrecht velvet.
.Durability of Fibre.
The perfection:of the fibre is shown
in its indeStructibleness and durability.
Cotton and flax may be ultimately re
duced t.o mere woody fibre. Wool is
almost incapable of mechanical destruc
tion. The existence of "shoddy," the
term of reproach to the woolen manu
facturers, is the strongest proof of the,
omnollono. rola _in...ttrnf.,toAn . ty-...itaiti,
original fibre.
The Felting Property.
The fibre of wool is crisped or spirally
curled, and is made up of cells of differ•
ent kinds—the interior forming the
pith, and the exterior consisting of
serrated rings, imbricated over each
other, having. under the microscope
the appearance of a series of thimbles
of uneven edges inserted into each
other, these serratures, as well .as the
spiral curls, being more or less distinct,
according to the fineness of the fibre.
We have hero the cause of the invalu
able quality of felting, to which we owe
our hats and broadcloths.
Amount of'Wool to each Inhabitant.
The aggregate production of wool
in the whole glObe is estimated at
1,610,000,000 pounds, or a pound and a
quarter to each inhabitant.
The Roman Purple.
Tool was largely used by the Ro
mans. An instance is cited where a
single Patrician bequeathed by will two
hundred thousand sheep. The finest
kind, however, appear to have been
valued very highly.
The Roman purple worn by the sen
ators,. was made from wools of Italy,
which, according to Rliny, were Worth
four dollars per pound of twelve ounces,
and which, of the same weight, wore
worth one hundred and sixty dollars
when colored wish the Tyrian dye. It
is not strange, then, that Horace should
boast of a gift to his mistress twice
dyed with the Tyrian murex. The
world has regretted, for many centur
ies, the loss of this imperial dye; but
within the last ten years, or no later
than 1856, chemistry has produced
from *aniline, a product of worthless
coal tar, a purple tint, resisting light,
alkalis and acids, and rivaling, upon
the light worsted zephyrs of our aim
ple maidens, the hue of the patrician
mantle.
Shoddy
Twenty-five years ago woolen rags
were worth about £4 per ton,and were
used only for mallard:). They aro now
worth in England £4O per ton to be
converted again into clotb. It is esti
mated that, in the neighborhood of
Leeds, 5,000,000 to 8,000,000 yards of
cloth, of the value of $15,000,000, are
annually manufitetured from this ma
terial, and that, if the supply of shoddy
were stopped, it would stop one-third
of the woolen mills in the "United King
dom, and bring distress. upon the :West
.
,Y
Riding in orke_dhire, as great as that
lately suffered in .Laneashire from the
want of cotton: It disclosed on the
report of the London Exhibition of
1802, that sixty-five million pounds of
shoddy are annually consumed in Bag
land,a, greater quantity than the whole

Bonaparte' as 'a Sheep Man,
Napoleon said, "Spain has twenty
five millions of Merinos; I wish France
to have a hundred millions." To effect
this, among other administrative aids,
he established sixty additicmal sheep
folds to those of Rambouillet, where
agriculturists could obtain the use of
Spanish rams witbout'expense. Visit
ing the- establishment for printing cal
icoes of the celebrated Oberhampf,
Napolean said to him, as hei Saw the
perfection of the fabrics, "We are bath
of Us oarryiiig on a war with England,
but I think that yours, after all, is the
best." • "These words," says Mr. Rank
doing, "so flattering and so just, were(
repeated from one end of France tti
the other; they AO inflamed the imagi
nationa of the people, that the mean
est artisan, believing himself called
upon to be the auxiliary of the great
man, had but one thought, the ruin of
England."
The editor of the Mobile .Register
Advertiser gives the following sketch
of the performance of a temporary as
sistant of his. It is very funny :
About ten o'clock yesterday, Cobb
webb came into the sanctum to look
over the papers. "Cobbwebb," said
we; "what're you got to do to-day ?"
"Nothing particular," said he, "why ?"
"We just want to know if you couldn't
stay here fora few hours andAuPpli
the boys with copy if they get . otVe- .
fore we come back—here are plenty of,
exchange papers that" you an clip
from." "Certainly," said Cobbwebb,
"I've got nothing to do."
We . handed Cobbwebb our scissors,
and wont around to a billiard saloon
with a young gentleman from the ag
ricultural districts, who wished to im
port the game into his neighborhood,
- atm wanteu nrst - -toip.e_r_n_hnvv_tople_y_
it. Finding4hat there was no call for
copy at the end of half an hour, Cobb
webb found the editorial business drier ,
than the sort he had been used to, and
went out to get a drink. When a man
of Cobbwobb's temperament and natu
ral tendency to thirst deliberately goes
out to get a drink he seldom thinks it
worth his while to return to the post
of duty until he has taken several.--
Consequently when Cobbwebb got
back to the office he wore/a veil of in
visible gauze over his oyes, his legs
'.sere as limber as a log chain, and to
tell the truth, ho couldn't tell an ink
stand from a soup-kettle, nor a pail' of
scissors from a saw-horse. In the
midst Of this state of things, there was
s it demand for copy. Cobbwebb aroused
himself to meet the demand. The
printer placed the scissors and a copy
of a Cincinnati paper in his hand.—
"Here," said Cobbwebb, "hichere's
some poetry; when you (hic) get that
set up, come (hic) back and get some
(hic) more." Cobbwebb's poetry was
as follows:
DESCRIPTION OP PROPERTY,
On Central Avenue,
Square 16, lots 27 and 28,
" 12, lot 67 feet front.
On Western Avenue,
Square 10, lots 4 and 18 inclusive,
" 11, lots 1 to 11,
" 14, lot 2.
When we returned, at one o'clock,
we found Cobbwebb seated in the coal
scuttle, engaged in a dreamy attempt
to clip a piece of copy out of the brim
of his hat with the tongs.
