When our souls to Heaven ascending, All the loved ones wo shall greet, Shall we see the mourners bending? Shall we wonder why they weep? When the vesper bell is ringing, And the organ load doth swell, Shall wo join the voices singing? Shall we? Shall we? Who can tell? The Various Implements of Masonry. As emblematical of our conduct in life, they afford us very many useful lessons which wo will do well to heed. The Holy Bible is ono of the great lights of the craft, one that wo cannot fail to follow if wo would be true to our principles, and measure up to the standard required of us, it will guidons in tho way of truth that adorns and strengthens the character ofman. It will lead us into the temple of true and abi ding happiness, and secure for us an en trance into the Grand Lodge Room on high. "It enriches the memory, it el evates the reason, it enlivens the imag ination, it directs the judgment; it controls the passions, it quickens the conscience, it strengthens the will, it kindles the sacred flame of faith, hope and charity; it purifies, onnobles,sane tifies the whole man, and brings him into living union with God. It has light for the blind, strength for the weak, food for the hungry, drink for the thirsty; it has a counsel in precept for every sorrow, a balm for every wound. Of all tho books in the world the Bible is the only ono of which wo never tire, but which we. admire and love more and more in proportion as wo use it. bike the diamond, it, casts its lustre in every direction ; like a torch,, the more it is shaken the more it shines; like a healing herb, the hard er it is pressed the sweeter is its fra grance." The Holy Bible lies open before every member of the Order, and points out the whole duty of man. Walk in the great light that you may reflect honor upon that Order, whose foundation principles aro the truths thcre:n revealed. Then by other emblems we are taught to regulate our actions, our every-movement by tho' principles of morality and virtue; and in Mir different stations among mon•and before God, to walk uprightly, circumscribing our desires within proper limits. Wo are also directed to move right onward in the way of truth, turning neither to the right nor the left, and to avoid in our conversation and actions dissimu lation. The earnest student as he ad vances in Masonry, may also learn lesl sons appropriate to the throo principa stages in human life, viz, youth, man hood and ago; and if true to these les sons, he may as a Master Mason "on joy tho happy reflection consequent on a well spent life, and die in the hope of a glorious immortality." Lot all the instruments and emblems of Masonry be carefully used and closely studied, and we shall ever and always deserve the title of "good men and true." Wo will come, more fully to understand our duty to God, and to each other; there will indeed be enkindled in our hearts a flamo of devotion to God, of brothor ly love to each other, and charity to all mankind. PIIIIADIMPIIIt, PA THE•. \VitoNo WORD.—An English. man, some years ago, was studying the Gorman language in Loipsic. -Be ing invited out ono evening, ho could not go on account of his wifb's Ho chanced to meet the lady from whom the invitation came at another evening party. Ile wont to her at once and apologized for his absence : "Aly wife was sick," said ho, "and I had to stay at home and be the 'Ammo,'" moaning to say nurse. To his surprise the whole company broke out in peals of laughter. His surprise kindled to indignation. "What aro you all laughing at ?" cried ho, "it is all right, I toll you, I know it is, I looked in the dictionary on purpose beforo I came; I was the 'Ammo, Ammo, Ammo—Ammo;'" ho repeat ed it carefully as lie began to think ho must have pronounced it incorrectly, "I was the 'Ammo,' I tell you." Tho merriment on the Gorman side and the anger on the English grow apaco; nor was it for some time longer possi ble to explain to him that "Ammo" indeed means Durso, but a particular kind of nurse—wet Durso. reim•Tho Galena Gazelle says that during the storm Sunday night, when the air was thoroughly charged with electricity, the lightning passed along the wires into the telegraph office in that city, setting fire to the window curtain, a bunch of envelopes on the table, and other papers.

A., Acting Stato Entomologist of Illinois, con toads that locusts do not sting. Ho writes from Egypt, [lllinois,] and says ho has often handled locusts, provokod their envy to sting him, and always with impunity. lie oxplains the cur rent stories about the sting of locusts as follows: There is a very large. digger wasp, almost two inches long—thoStitzus grandis, of Say, if I recollect right— whose pecular habit it is to provision its nests with the body of ono of these seventeen year locusts. It first, like most digger wasps, digs a hole in the ground, by way of nest, then catches a locust, stings it just enough to stupefy it, but not enough to kill it, and drags it into the hole which has alrody been prepared to re ceive it. Having thus furnished a suf ficiency of food for its future offspring, prepared in such an ingenious manner that it will keep fresh for a long time without a particle of salt or saltpetre, it deposits a single egg in the nest, closes up its mouth with earth, and then flies off to repeat the above labor ious process over and over again, till its stock of eggs is exhausted. Before many days the egg hatches out into a little soft, white, legless larva, which gradually devours thobody - of the liv ing locust. At length, having become full-fed, it spins a membranous cocoon, inside which it passes the winter, and in the following spring develops into a perfect digger wasp, to repeat the same wonderful oycle of operations year after year, and century after century. To some, perhaps, all this may sound like a traveler's tale. But lot any incredulous person examine at this time of the year tho common mud dabs that may bo found in any out building, and ho will find but another edition of the process recapitulated above; the only difference being that the mother wasp that constructs these mud dabs makes its nest above ground instead of underground; and provis ions it with some ten or a dozen spi ders in place of a single locust. The species of sinus referred to above is rather an uncommon insect, bat as I happen to know, it occurs from Pennsylvania to the region west of the Mississippi. What is moro like ly, then, than that ono of these wasps, with a squalling locust in his grasp, should two or three times every year light upon a human being—and, that, upon being brushed off, or otherwise harshly treated, it should retaliate af ter th o fashion of all female wasps, by stinging the offender ? Of course the effects of the sting of so gigantic a species of wasp would in all proba•. bility be very severe; for instance, a lump on the neck as big as a man's fist produced in two minutes. And of course if the locust happened to be squalling loudly at the time of the sting, the wound inflicted would be pretty sure to be laid at its door. • lf, on the other hand, we persist in believing that it is the female locust herself that stings in such cases as these, why do we not hoar of thousands of persons being stung by locusts every year? There aro millions upon mil lionsof locusts in the woods this sum mer, butting madly up against men, women and children every hour of the day. Surely, if the females wore phys ically capable of stinging, Instead of half a dozen such cases, we should hear of thousands upon thorn, through out the interior districts. Locusts must be to the full as numerous as bees. If ono insect can sting as well as the other, why aro not locust stings as common as bee stings ? Off Hannibal, Mo., June 17, 1868. THE MYSTERIES OF "PLANCIIETTE."— "Planohotto," which is performing its gyrations in half the parlors of East ern cities, has the fortunate advanta ges of being portablo, neat, low priced, and easily worked. The elements unite to make it amenable to all inter ested in its operations • theso aro, curt— osity, which universally abounds, and patience, which is far less common.— "Planchotte" consists of a hoartshaped bit of wood, a quarter of an inch thick, smooth, polished, supported on a couple of delicate wheels, made of ivory, and requiring a recorder near the point to - ensuro that the instru ment will not only stand upon a sheet of paper placed upon a table, with a smooth marble or wooden surface.— Tho recorder is a black load pencil brought to a fine point, which writes upon the paper—writes actual an swers to various question. The game [but that is scarcely the proper na'mo tbr it], is played by several persons placing their fingers lightly upon tho table land, so to call it, of the heart shaped little machine as it stands up on the table. After a pause of more or loss delay, "Planchette" begins to move* under the united touch of the fingers lightly resting upon it. Thou tho motion increases—the pencil malt ing each track upon tho paper. No muscular motion of any person assist ing is permitted. It would soon as if Planchetto wore operating indopen deafly.

In respect to corn raising they made an estimate based upon the daily wages of pion and teams, which seem ed to show that ,at tho present time it cannot be raised at less than 50 cants per bushel, unless over 40 bushels to the acre can bo obtained, which am't. was considered a full average for the motorn part 01 that eottoty, TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance. Veto of the Arkansas Bill. The following is the text of Presi• dent Johnson's•mossa;o, vetoing the Arkansas bill: To the House of Representatives I return, without my signature, a bill en titled an act to admit tho State of Ar kansas to representation in (.7ongross. The approval of this bill would be an admission on the part of the Eximutive that the "Act for the more 'efficient government of tho Rebel States," pass ed March 2, 18G7, and the acts supple. montary thereto, were proper and con stitutional. My opinion, however, in reference to these measures has under gone no change, but, on tho contrary, has been strengthened by the results which have attended their execution. Even wore this no.t tho case, I could not consent to a bill which is based upon the assumption either that by an act of rebellion of a portion of its peo ple the State of Arkansas seceded from the Union, or that Congress may, at its pleasure, expel or exclude a State from the Union, or interrupt the Gov ernmont by arbitrarily deprive it of rep resentation in the Senate and House of representatives.. If Arkansas is a State not in the Union, this bill does not admit her as a State into the Union. If, on the other hand, Arkansas is a State in the Union, no legislation is necessary to declare her entitled to representation in Congrdss as one of the States of tho Union. The Constitution already de clares that "each State shall have at least one representative ;° that the Senate "shall be composed of two Sen ators from each State," and "that no State without its consent shall be de prived of its equal suffrage in the Sen ate." That enactment also makes each House the judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications of its own members; and, therefore, all that is now necessary to restore Arkansas in all its constitutional relations to the Government is a decision by each House upon the eligibility of those who, presenting their credentials, claim seats in the respective Houses of Con gress. This is the plain and simple plan of the Constitution; and believing that had it been pursued when Con gress ro•assembled in the month of December 1865, the restoration of tho States would long since have boon com pleted of once again earnestly recom mended that it be adopted by each House in preference to legislation which I respectfully submit, is not only of at least doubtful constitution ality, and therefore unwise and dan gerous as a precedent, but is unneces sary, not so effective in its operations as the mode proscribed by the Consti tution, involves additional delay, and from its terms may be taken rather as applicable to a territory about to bo admitted as ono of the United States, then to a State which has occupied a I place in the Union for upwards of a quarter of a century. The bill declares tho State of Arkansas entitled, and admitted to representation in Con gress as ono of the States of the Union upon the following fundamental condi tions :—That the Constitution of Ar kansas shall never bo so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote by the Constitution herein recognized, except• as a punish ment for such crimes as aro now felo nies at common law, whereof he shall have been duly' convicted under -laws equally applicable to all the inhabi tants of said State, provided that any alteration of said Constitution, pro spective in its effect, may be made in regard to the time and place of resi• denco of voters. I have been unable to find in the Constitution of the United States any warrant for the exercise of the author ity thus claimed by Congress, for as-. suming the power to impose a funda— mental condition upon a State which has beet; duly admitted into the Union on equal footing with the original States in-all respects whatever. Con gress assorts a right to outer a State as it. may a territory, and to regulate the highest prerogative of' a free peo ple, the elective filtnchiso. This ques tion is reserved by the Constitution to' the States themselves, and to concede to Congress the power to regulate this subject would be to reverse the funda mental principles of the republic, and to place in the hands of the Federal Government, which is the creature of the States, tho sovereignty which just ly belongs to the State, or the people, its truo source of all political power, by whom the federal system was crea ted, and to whose will it is subordinate. Tho bill fails to provide in what man ner tho,State of Arkansas is to signify its acceptance of the fundamental con dition which Congress endeavored to make unalterable and irrevocable, nor does it prescribe the penalty to bo im posed should the people of the State amend or change the particular por tions of the Constitution which it is one of the purposes of this bill to perpe trate; but as the consequences of its action, loaves them in uncertainty an 4 doubt. When the circumstances na 7 dor Which the Constitution has hoop brought to the attention of Congress, it is not unreasonable to suppose that efforts pill bo made to modify its pro visions, and especially those in respect to which this measure prohibits any alteration. It is seriously questioned whether the Constitution has been rat. ifiod by. a majority of the portions who, under the act of March 2, 1867, and the acts sopplomentary thereto, are entitled to registration, and to vote upon that issue. Section 10 of the schedule provides that no preen dis qualified from voting or registering under the Constitution shell yqto for pandidatos for any oflioo, nor shall be pornifttoci to vote for the ratification or rejection of the Constitution Ut the polls herein authorized, assumed to be TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The fifth section of the Eighth, Article provides that all persons before. registering _Or voting must take and subscribe an oath which, among oth ers, contains the following clause:—. "That I accept the civil and political equality of all mon, and agree not to attempt to deprive any poison or por, sons on account of raco, color, or pre vions condition, of any political or civil right, privilege, or immunity en, joyed by any other class of mon." It is well known that a very larga portion of the electors in all the States, if not a largo majority of all of them:' do not believe in or accept the political, equality of Indians, Mongolians or no-. groes, with the race to which they be long. If the votors in many of the States of the North and West were re. : qnired to take such an oath as a test of their qualification, there is reason to believe that a majarity of them would remain from tho polls rather• than comply with its degrading pondi tions. flow far and to what extent this test oath prevented the registra tion of those who were qualified under the laws of Congress, it is not impos sible to know. But that such was its. effect, at least sufficient to overcome the small and doubtful majority in-fa, vor of the Constitution, there can be. no reasonable doubt. Should the peo ple of Arkansas, therefore, desiring.to. regulate the elective franchise so as to make it conform to the Constitution of a large proportion of the States or the North and West, modify her pro?. Visions referred to in the "fundamenr tal condition," what is to. bo the pop:. sequence?' Is it intended that a denial of reprot sentation shall follow, and, if so, may we not dread, at some future day, a recurrence of the troubles which have so long agitated the country F Would it not bo the part of wisdom to take for our guide the Federal Constitution, rather than resort to measures which, looking only to the present, may, in a few years, renew in an aggravating form, distress and bitterness, caused by legislation which has proved to be BR ill-timed and unfortunate Washington, June 20, MS After the reading of the - message, the bill WAS passed over the veto, yeas, 109; nays, 31. Give Your Child a Newspaper. A child beginning to rend, bcaomes delighted with a newspaper, because ho roads the names of things whiph are very familiar and will make pro., gross accordingly. A newspaper in ono year is worth a quarter's sehool-. ing to a child, and every father must consider that substantial :information in connection with advancement. The mother of a family being one of its heads, and having a more immediate charge of children should herself be is struoted. A mind occupied becomes fortified against tho ills of life, and is braced for an emergency. Childreo'c amused by reading or studying, aro of course more considerate and more easily governed. How many thought less youug men have spent their even,. ings in a tavern or grog shop who ought to have been reading? How many parents who have not spent twenty dollars for books for their fam z ilios, would have given thousands to reclaim a Son or daughter who had ig, norantly or thoughtlessly fallen into temptation ? "Why not give your child a noWspaz per, if the results hero stated are to be obtained ? And who can for a moment doubt that they may In a well conducted newspaper, the family will not.only have an opportu: nity of improvement in different bran : ches of literature, such as spelling•and reading correctly, but will also be pos sessed of universal knowledge. The children will find the principles of mo, rality, honesty, truthfulness, obedience to parents, &c., inculcated in the news: paper—they will .meet with incidents in the lives of historic chdracters, who, from poverty and igzoranco ;),), indus try, have attained the first rank in so ciety, in wealth, influence and iutelli, genco; and by thus learning what oth z ors haVo-been able to do ' will them selves bo led to follow their example, and like them secure to ; themselves success, respectability and renown iq the earth. The advantages accruing fromrthe weekly visits of a good newspaper are invaluable: It is a running 13yclopedia "of the events and discoveries occurring in every department of- life, and with the knowledge it imparts, both pa rents and children will be s enabled to keep" up with the various improve: meats of this progressive ago, and bet, ter prepared to avoid coming dangers, and avail themselves of proffered - pen: cuts.
