The bright sun shines through an April sky,
The sw•a]lmas :u•e on the wing,
They seek their nests 'neath the cottage eaves,
And sweet are the thoughts they bring;
They have winged their way from the sunny
South,
From the shade of the orstnge bowers,
They come with the balmy breath of Spring,
To the land of opening flowers.
The welcome peep of the frog, ls; :ward,
The insects' musical hum,
And the life that wakes from teeming earth,
All tell that the Spring has come;
The sly buds will soon conic peeping out,
And the shooting blades be seen,
And netorc, all bedecked anew,
In - tubes of beauteous gt cen.

The Disguised Heiress.
11 ins Vernon i-at thoughtfully at her win
dow, plunged in deep:thought. This need
be senreely Nvonaereil at, for the question
upon which she was pondering ntlbeted her
nearly.
She was an heiress, having Come into pos
session, at her majority, of tiny thousand
dollars. She Wl*, possessing in her appear
:moo, and this as was natural, as usual, was
considerably exaggerated, and bronght her
suitors in plenty. Air them she made
choice of William Winsor, and in a few
weeks they were to be married.
Williata was en caged in the wholesale
clothing business, and had. I.lle reputation
of an active, sharp man of business. Ile
Was. or good appearance, and so far as could
be judged,was a good match for the heiress.
Nothing to his prejudice had come to the
ears of .N 1 iss Vernon until the day before.
A poor woman had 00(111 to the (100 r in evi
dent poverty, and asked for relief. On be
ing questioned, she said that she had been
employed in making shirts at twelve cents
apieee for wholesale dealers—that after
making a 1107.011 and carrying them to the
store, she had been roughly told thatthey
were spoiled and that nothing would he
paid her for her work ; but that she might
have some more, if she would agree to make
them better. She added that ibis was one
of the small ways in which the tirm 111.11(1{3

that their work was unsatisfactorily done,
v. hen really no fault could reasonably be
found.
"It eon hardly be called living. Its, just,

the woinan.
"Anil who i, this extortioner that first of

you of thorn? asked Miss Vernon very in
dignantly.

"Who?" demanded :k VOlllOll, firmly,
Winsof."
can hardly believe this.' 1 know the
gentleman."
"It is true, and if you will investigate, the
matter you tint it to be so."
"I will investigate the matter. Here are
live dollars fur your prestmt needs. Conte
hero to-morrow at this tine ; I :nay halve
some work for you to do."
The poor WOlllllll depart ed, in yak ing bless
ing upon the heiress.
"I will look into this," said Margaret Ver
non, resolllrely, "and, if IL proves true, the
engagement between William Winsor and
myself shall be broken. I will not give my
self to suet) a Mail."
"Nancy'," said Miss Vernon the next
morning lo the chambermaid, "have you
an old dress and shabby cloak and bonnet
you Call lend Inc."
"I have got some that are so poor that I
am lint going to wean• them again," said
Nancy, surprised at such an Inquiry.
"Will you lend them to me?"
"NO ENTERTAINMENT SO CHEAP AS READING, NOR ANY PLEASURE SO LASTING."
"Of course, Miss; but what would the
likes of you want with such old clothes ?"
"A little fun, that is all," said Miss Ver
non. "r am going to disguise myself, and
see if I can't deceive somebody."
With this exclamation Nancy was con
ten t, * and produced the clothes. Miss Ver
non put them on, and in addition borrowed
of another of the servants a thick green veil,
somewhat the worse for wear, and then
set out on her mission. No one, in her dis
guise, would have recognised the usually
elegant and richly dressed heiress, Miss
Margaret Vernon.
Miss Vernon slipped out of the basement
door and took her way to a large store, on
which was inscribed the name of William
Winsor, in large guilt letters.
She entered, and after a while a clerk.
spoke to her in a rough voice,—
"Well, what do you want,"
"I want to get some \VOHZ," She sail in a

half dozen shirts were given to :Miss
Vernon, and she was informed that if satis
factorily done, she would be paid twelve
cents apiece. These she carried home,
slipping in at the back d9or.
About two hours later the poor woman
"Here arc some shirt:, for you to make,"
said Miss 'Vernon.
"Why, they are the same as .1 have been
making," said the poor woman in great sur
prise.
"That is true, and they came from the
same place."
"Ain I to take them back to the store?"
No, you will bring them here. I will pay
yon for the Ivolk, when done, doul,le the
price yon have been receiving."
"Thank you, Miss, you are so very

Three days later the poor woman return

paid her for them, and requested her to cull
the next day.
"Nancy," said the heiress, after her pro
tege had departed. "I shall wish to borrow
your old clothes again."
"Certainly, Miss," said Nancy, "if it is
not ashamed you are to appear in sneh
in Isere hie rags."
"No one will know toe, Naney."
"Shure, Miss, you can lake them when
ever you like."
"I don't think I shall need t hunt again
Xioey, but thank you all the time."
Not long afterwards, Miss - Vernon, in her
shabby disguise, entered the establishment
of William Winsor, with the bundle of
shirts under her arm.
She walked up to the counter and laid

"What have you got there?" ilemuraledu

"I am sure I thought they were all well

"You thought, did you?" repeated the
clerk, mocking her. "Wct shan't pity you
for these shirts. They will have to lie sold
at a loss."
"rut what shalt I do?" a,ked Miss Ver
non, in seem ing distress.
"That's your business, not amine. We
will try you once more, and give you
another half dozen shirts. It they are done
better, you will be paid for them.
"These are done well," said Mks Vernon
savagely, snatching the bundle front the
counter, "and T will shoo• thew to your 0111-
player."
To the indignation of the clerk, who was
not used to such independence in the poor
women who worked for the establishment.
Mks Vernon took the shirts to another part
of the counter where she saw William him
self.
"-Mr. Winsor," ....he said, "your cleric will
not pay nto for theNe shirt'. Ho soy, they
are not well done."
Mr. \V nsor took one up, and pretended
to examine it.
"No, it is poorly done. Wecan't pay you
for these, but you may have :mother bun
dle, and, if they are AZdisthetorly, you will
then be paid."
"Didn't 1 tell you so?" said the clerk tri
umphantly. "Now, young woman, how
touch did you inako by that operation?"
"More than you think, perhaps," said
Mks "Vernon, quietly.
"Don't you Wish any work ?"
"No, I don't ..N'l.ll any more," she an
swered, coldly.
"oh! you're on the high horse, am , you?
Well, you may he gild to get work bUIIIIJ

That evening was the one which Wil

forward warmly, as usual, to greet Miss
Vernon.
She drew back voldly, and did not oiler
her hand to grasp 111.4.
"What Is the matter, .Margaret?" Le

scanty earnings."
"Who says this of me? Some one has
been slandering Inc. Confront me with my
accusers. There is some mistake here."
I wlll do us you desire. Wait just fire
minutes."
Miss Vernon left the MUM and soon re
entered in her disguise.
The yomig tnan strode lip to the woman
angrily.
"Are .you the one who has slandered me
to Miss Vernon?" he demanded.
"I told her the truth."

Mon Words About, Masonry.
your paper a short time
since, I find an article entitled, "Relics of
Anti-Masonry." It is a defense, somewhat
in detail, of this ancient and wide-spread
institution. The article is valuable in more
respects than one, as it exonerates the
society front several charges which none
but the wilfully blind or grossly ignorant
could urge against it. With its political
bearings, if there are any, we have nothing
to do. Nor would we for one moment deny
that this institution has contained, and does
contain some, yea, many, of the great and
good in our own country. .hairy clergy
men have thought it good to ally them
selves with this fraternity. There is scarcely

Rut this matte• has come up in the
melanins of Your paper, which has for its
object the formation of a sound and healthy
public sentiment, we would like, with your
permission, to draw attention to one or t 150
bearings of the subject, in a mural and reli
gious point of view, which have come
within our own observation.
We are actuated by no bitter feeling
against the Masons or any other order, bat
we wish to draw attention to certain facts
which apply to any secret voluntary asso
ciation professing to teach and enforce the
doctrines of humanity and brotherly love.
Our proposition is, in brief, that the Bible
reveals a more excellent way.
Bear in mind the objects dined at are, as
far as they go, one and the same. This
is about the sum and substance of what is
said in defense of the institution, "A great
many good men belong to it." "The Bible
is read and honored." "No one but a good
man can be a true Mason." The question
conies up, and must conic tip, in the mind
of every honest enquirer, How are these
great doctrines of charity enforced?
_
e know of one whose whole tiro was
spent in doing good, and who, if we are not
greatly mistaken, founded an institution or
society to carry nut these very ends—the
practice of brotherly acts of kindness—and
if we profess to regard Him as Divine, we
would prefer to submit to His wisdom
rather than to avail ourselves of some
worldly contrivances, invented as a kind of
sulist lime for those who will not submit to
the yoke of the Gospel.
We are not speaking of this or that indi
vidual, but of the general working of these
and kindred institutions. We are willing
to concede that good may be done, and that
for persons who are obliged to travel much
there maybe some use in secret signs and
symbols; but for nine-tenths of our steady,
home-abiding citic.:Us Nye cannot but ex
press our calm and deliberate opinion that
two-fold more good would be accomplished
if tho young men of our country would de
vote to the Church or Christ the same ener
gy they devote to these man-made institu
tions. , _

We are speaking of these duties to our

which plainly conies within th"e scope of
our Lord's tearbings, and for which we
think he made provision in his Church, if

Dead Letters.
Of all the official work done at Washing
ton, none is regarded with more interest by
the transient visitor than the Dead Letter
Office. Here sit sonic fifteen or twenty gen
tlemen—for it is a fact disgraceful to human
ity that females cannot he employed, so
ninny obscene letters poison the in ails—
emit nually engaged in opening the four or
five millions of letters which allany find
their way there. More than 13,000 letters
are daily emptied on their desks, asking to
be opened. When a letter is found to have
valuable contents, these contents are in
dorsed upon it, and the letter returned to
the envelope. A record is made of such
letters, and they are at once returned to
their writers, without return portage. So
perfect are the arrangements that it is hardly
possible that a valuable dead letter, which
has once reached the office, should fail of
revisiting the writer, if in the power of the
Department to discover him. During the
year, 32,000 letters, inclosing $113,231, were
received at this office, and nearly 29,000 of
them, containing $130,620, were restored to
their owners. Hut besides these money let

matter, apprised :it over $3,000,000; over
-19,000 containing 'photographs, J eWelry,:tc.;
and 97,000 containing stamps and articles of
small value. Nearly all of them were re
turned to the original writers, and the
reason why any of these letters fall to ho

but 01 the writers, who either send an un

William _Knight, a notable hermit, has
just died near Rockingham, lowa, aged
seventy-five years. Thirty years ago lie left
England without a word to his relatives,and
going direct to lowa, resumed his business
us an attorney, rapidly winning fame in
that capacity. His friends in England ad
vertised descriptions of him. with offers of
reward lit• tidings of his whereabouts. For
years their efforts were fruitless. Knight
possessed a heavy gold watch of vary pecu
liar construction. Descriptions of this watch
were sent to the leading watch dealers in
America. Knight's watch got out of order.
lie sent It to Philadelphia, to an estab
lishment in which a description of the watch
was posted. The proprietor wrote to Lon
don parties that he had received the watch.
Over came Knight's friends, making their
way to Davenport as rapidly its the meagre
traveling timilties would allow. They found
the runaway. They had conference after
conference with him to induce his return to
England. They restored to strategy, and
endeavored to secure his arrest for some
offense that he might be sent back a priso
ner. All in vain. From that time forward
until his death, on Sunday last, Knight was
a changed man. He bought a small form
near Rockingham, a heavily wooded tract;
erected a sort of a shanty in the forest, and
there, alone, with no companions but his
pipe, books and papers, he spent his time.
He received papers from England regularly
and loved to read of new and noted books
and their authors. He cooked his own food,
washed his own clothes, cut his own wood,
and was his own servant generally. Ile
rarely received callers. Sometimes he
would be seized with a letter-writing lit and
a letter to his lawyers every day for a fort
night would be the result—an answer being
expected by him as fully as though the
ter of correspondence was of the utmost im
portance. And thus lie lived the life of a
hermit, save in relation with his attorneys
alone. Why he, who was so gifted by nature
and so splendidly educated, chose to aban
don his luxurious home and wealthy friends,
make his way to the frontier of the Ameri
can wilds for a residence and then when
discovered by his friends, resort to the life
of a hermit, is explained only by an admis
sion in one of his letters to his legal friends,
wherein he admits having been hopelessly
cast down by disappointment in a love affair

girl—lost her because she preferred a " belt

Andrea• Joh11:401/ Insane.
There call be littlu doubt in the minds of
any one wades through Mr. Johnson's re
cent speech at Knoxville that he is insane.
The whole speech is that of a man out of his
senses. It is hicoheretd, full of repetitions,
and full, too, of that singular fancy which
madmen frequently have, that they are the
victims of sonic one's vindictive persecu
tions.
For instance, he repeated over and over
and over and over again, that he has " run
the round," that he has " held all the offices
from Alderman up," that he has "tilled all
the offices in the f:overnment. that one might
aspire to," that be Las " filled all the offices
front the highest to the lowest," and so oat.
Then he is full of sneers at the people whose
•' path is paved with human craniums," he
boasts or his pardon or connterfeiters .and
whisky thrives, staying that he has " libera
ted the captives;" and then he begins again
that old late or his having held "all the
Offices, State and Federal, front the highest
to the lowest."
Certainly Mr. Johnson is deranged. and
if be has any friends, they should either put
Lim in an insane asylum or under the care
of skillful physicians at home. It is a pity
to see an old man make a spectacle of him
self and become the laughing stock for
Street boys.—Nete York Post.

Cremation
Many years ago, great indignation was
aroused through the West by the burning
to ashes of the body of It German, in accttrd
anco with his will. The serious proposal
in a Philadelphia newspaper, a little while
allot., to establish cremation of the dead us
conducive to health, was received with no
wore favor.
Yet why shoud not the dead be burned
to ashes, instead of being left to decay in the
ground, poison the living, and cause in their
general disposition a vast amount of ex
pense and trouble? The great objection
raised to the custom, when Btu body of the
German already alluded to was burned, was
that it was "diabolical" and " heathenish."
For the "diabolical" I say nothing; as fur
the " heathenism," the heathen Greeks also
used baths freely, while during the Christ
ian Middle Ages a cardinal edict forbade
their too frequent use, especially by women
because they were conducive to personal
beauty and vanity. Yet no one of the
present day condemns the use of baths as
heathenish, unless it Lea few of the ultra
orthodox, who strictly hold that everything
to which they hate not been accustomed is
contrary to the spirit of the Bible. That
there are in this city, however, many very
upright, gentleman alto are are positively
opposed to providing baths the the poorest
classes, because they are seriously persua
ded that baths are mere luxuries, I have, to
my amazement, learned within a few hours.
A dead body placed in a I o mace construct
ed for the purpose call be reduced to ashes
in an honr, at le-;:t expense than an average
coffin. The ashes in an urn are not less
consecrated by affection than thegrave with
the horrible associations whiclt mediaeval
superstitions have accumulated around it.
In tat:toill our poetical and sentimental phra
seology in relation to the tomb is borrowed
from that of cremation. People speak of
`ashes" and "urns" and the "funeral
torch,•' fur the very simple reason that the
ideas of a codiu and decay and the worm are
disgusting. The ancteuts had the same deep
sentiments attached to their dead which lye
have, while unburned bodies excited their
horror. At the present day "we have chang
ed all that," but very little to the benefit of
our health or comfort. Every graveyard,
be it where it may, is a bed of pestilence,
and all its decay, sooner or later, finds its
way to the atmosphere and poisons it. Here
in Anteritut we have inexhaustible mines
of coal, and cremation would be neither
difficult nor expensive, and, should the cus
tom be established, the popular mind would
be freed front all tho,e associations " which
render death hideous, and the grave loath
some."—Cor. Philadelphia Press.
