., The .pearmari heard tba hugla toaad,
Ana gaily .railed the morn i
And many a brach and many a hoand
' Attead Llewellyn's horn. 1
, And still ha blew a louder blast
And gave a louder oheorf ' '
. "Coma, Ualert, why art ihoa tha last .
Llewellyn's horn to hear t
Where doea say faithful Oelert roaaa
, Tha flower of all his raea
. So true, so brave, a lamb at home,
A lion in tha chase X"
Twaa only at Ll.wellyn'. board,
Tba faithful Uelart fed J
lie watehed, he served, ha o hoc red hi. lord,
And senlinelod hia bod.
In sooth, ha waa a peerless hoand,
Tba gift of royal John
But Bow ao Uelert oould be found,
And all tha ohaae rode on.
And now, as over rock, and d.lls,
Tbe buntsmens' ohoeriogs rise,
All Soowden's eraggy ehao. yells,
With many mingled oriM. I
That day Lewellyn little loved '
Tbe enaaa of hart or bare, .
And scant aad small tha booty proved,
For Uelert was not there,
I'npl.ased, Ll.wellyn homeward hied,
W bea, near tha portal teat, . j
Hi. truant Uelert he espied.
Bounding hi. lord to greet.
But when be gained hi. ea.lle door,
Aghast the ehieltala stood j
Tbe bound was emeared with drops of gore,
His lips and fangs ran bloodl
Llew.liya gaaed with wild surprise,
Unuaod aucb looks to meet ;
II is favorite oheoked kia Joyful guise,
And oronobed and licked hi. leet
Onward, In haste, Llewellyn passed, .
And on want tielert, too .
And still where'er his eyes be oast, ,
Fresh blood-drops shucked his view.
O'erturned hi. Infant', bed h. found,
The bloed-etaiaed oovert reat,
And all arouad the walla and ground,
With recent blood neeprent.
. lie oalled bi. ehild, ne Tola, replied.
He searched with terrorwild;
Bloodl blood he foaud oa every side
But nowhere found hia shlld.
"Blood-hound, by thoa my child's devoured !"
Tba Irauti. lather eried
And to tbe bill his vengeful sword,
He plunged In tielert's side.
Bis suppliant look, as prone ha fell,
No pity eould impart
Yot mournfully bi. dying yell
b'unk la Llewellyn's heart. , .
Aroased by Uolert's dying yell,
Some sluinb'ror wakened nigh
Whet words ths parent's Joy ean tell,
To hoar hi. infant ary.
Concealed amidst a mingled Reap, k
Hi. hurried search bad missed j
All glowing from his rosy aleep,
His eherub boy he kissed. .
Nor wound had he, nor barm, nor dread j
. But the same eouoh beneath,
Lay a great wolf, all tora and dead
Tremendous still in death 1
Ah I What waa thea Llewellyn's pale t
For aow the truth was clear
The gallant hooud the wolf had slain,
And saved Llewellyn's heir.
Vain, vain, was all Llewellyn's wo, .
''Best of thy kind, adieu 1
- The frantic deed which laid tha low,
Thia heart shall ever rue."
. And now a gallant tomb tbay raise, -With
costly seulptur deoked ;
And marbles storied with his praise,
Poor Uolert's bona, protect.
There never eoald th. spearman pass,
Or forester unmoved ;
liere oft the tear besprinkled graas,
Ll.wellyn'. sorrow proved.
And her. ha hung his bora and spear,
And oft as ereuing fell,
In faney's piercing sounds would hear
Poor Uelerl's dying yell I
The Monster Maaonlo Temple.
The New York Herald bag had
correspondent ot I'liiladelphis to look
at tlio grand new ilneunio Ttmplo
which is to bo dedicated on Iho 28th
of September next. His description
of this magnificent edifico if Tory full
and clear and as we belicvo it will be
road by many of our subscribers with
groat interest wo transfer it to our
oolumns.
Tbe tcmplo is now In an advanced
stale of completion, and from its im
mense size anil imposing style of arch
itecture is one of iho most conspicu
ous publio buildings in the city. Much
has boon said by New Yorkers and
Hostoniana in pruise of their respec
tive Mason io temples, but it is now
generally conoeded thut tbe Philadel
phia struoture far surpasses both as
respoots sice, oostand beauty. - It will
make two of that at Boston, and is a
third larger than tbo temple in Sixth
and Twenty-third strcot. It is of
such imtneneo sice, and is filled with
so many lodgo, chapter and comman
dory rooms, that to thoso nnitiated it
is almost a labyrinth. As it has
novcr beon fully described a running
sketch may not be amiss, as it gives
evidonce that the Masons throughout
tbe country are on Iho high road to
prosperity, and as a brothoibood aro
marching on in irrepressible phalunxes
to success. It is composed on ti rely of
finely dressed granite of a whitish
load-colorod tint, is 250 foot in longtii,
is 150 fool wide and is three stories in
height. The grounds upon which it
is built in Broad strcot, near mni kot,
tngolbcr with Iho strucluro, cost the
.Masons upwards of twelve hundred
thousand dollars. The architecture
of the building is a combination of the
old and new schools admirably blocdcd,
and is pleasing to Iho eye. Its
TUItKI UNIQCi. TOWERS,
reaching heavenward, can bo ' (con
from the four qusrtorsoi the compass,
and are as conspicuous landmarks to
the 1'biiadelphians as the Herald build
ing is to those of tho Long Island and
Jersey shores. The inner musonry
alone involved the consumption of 10,-
000,000 bricks, and tho number of
cubic loetol granitoin tbeoulor walls,
if known, would probably seem to tbe

It Is a marvel of massive grandour
and solidity, with twelve elephantine
columns extending around the ball,
and are fac timiles of thoae in tho
principal temples on the Nile. Each
of tho walls of the hall is divided by
columns, which stand clear of it, into
five sections, all of which are enriched
with panel decorations, consisting of
variogateu borders. . iho master is
well provided for in this hall, as his
throne or chair is of the richest and
most Imposing description. His ped

Masonio rule, is plucod nt the right of

richly wainscottod, and is furnished
with quaint and' substantial styles of

has accommodations for over one hun

from this is the Ionic Hull. Its style
is puro, graceful and elogant, but une

porfoct, by its exposure on two (ides
by numerous windows to the open air.
Its furniture is composed exclusively
of wood, and tho beauty of the room
is further enhanced by twenty odd

which extended around its walls. It
is seventy-five foot long by fifty feot
wide, and is thirty feet high. Next
in dimensions and beauty of design is
the Banqueting Hall, on tho north

150 loot in longib by 60 feot in breadth,
and will seat comfortably upwards of
five hundred persons. It will be used
during the dodicatory oeromonios, and
is now being rapidly overhauled. Tho

HON. WM. A. WALLACE,
Vice President of the Texas and Pacific
Hallway, at the Nltreveport Celo
tiratiuu, August 13, 1813.
I congratulate you and tbo stock
holders of the Texas and Pacific upon
tho completion of the connection be
tween tbo citios of Shrevcport and
Dallas. Thislinkonublosihe products

of Subino and tho Trinity, concentra

will pour thorn in an ever-Increasing
stream through the olhor to the com
mercial centre of the eoulh-wesl, and
but a few months will elapse until a
north-eastern and an eastern outlot
will be addod to tbe facilities now
yielded you by your great river. No
man can at this timo justly estimate
the sizo and volumo of that tido of
production wbon at Ils full, for no
whore else upon this broad continent
is found a territory that can equal its
capacity to sustain an enormous pop
ulation and to yield in rich return the
labor there expended. Tho richest
valley In my native State does not
equal in produolivo capacity tbo soil
that lies, fat, black and waxy, on tho
head of tbo Trinity. Tho agricultu
rist who tills tbo rich prairies of Il
linois or Iowa, boasts of his enormous
yield of grain, but his largest crop is

land not needed for this, cotton is a
Buro crop and is ready salo. In the
bleak winlors of Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and Minnesota, the live slock of
tho farmer must for five months bo

region they grow into money without

porler. Placing implicit reliance up
on the results that aro to flow from
tho inoxhnustiblo riches of the coun
try thoir lines traverse, the mon who
aro building tho work and control tho
policy of the Texas and Pacifio, have
here dono that which has novor before
been performod on this conlinont.
In less than ten months they bavo
graded and bridged nearly four hun
dred miles of railway, have laid tho
track, built the machine shops, ware
houses, soolion bouses and tanks, and
fully equipped with engines and olhor
rolling stock nearly one-hnlf thereof,
have '.lie iron and tho ties upon the
ground to complete tho whole before
tbo 1st of Dooembor, 1873, and have
changed tho gauge and fully equipped
an old line of sixty-six miles, so that
by that date they will have in full op
eration nearly fivo hundred miles of
railway within tbe Ktato of Xoxas.
In doing 4his they have expended
about 110,000,000, and neither bond
nor mortgage to tho extent of one dol
lar has been oxecutod for this purpose,
but mon of largo fortunes, ot indom
itable enorgy and of undoubted integ
rity have devoted thoir personal means
to the task, and thus endeavored to
show thoir faith by their works. Such
mon do not contomplnte a failure
Their enlorpriso, too, is in every sonso
a national ono, and is recognizod as
such by govornmontul creaiion and
endowment.
"With Its main lino reaching tho Pa
cifio at San Diego, and its branoh to
San Francisco, uniting with tho main
trunk in southern California, and
thenco crossing the Colorado of the
West at Yuma, following the Gila
through Arizona, traversing southern
New Mexico to the Bio Grande and
entering Texas At El Paso, ils locomo
tive will bo tho atNtnf courier of oivili
zalion to a large territory of now in
hospilablo and wasto land. Tbo in
flux of population that will follow in
its wake will save to the Government
tbo enormous sums of money annually
exponded in protecting the frontier
and repressing Indinn depredations,
whilst the facilities it will yield for
transporting machinery and supplies
to develop the vast mineral resources
of the country it ponetratos, and of
the norlborn provinces ot Moxico,
will bring a large addition to the ag
gregate wealth of tho nation. With
its diroct eastern connection now al
most assured from this point to Yicks
burg and Jackson, its line from ocean
to ocean will be six bundrod miles
shortor than that of any of ils rivals,
whilo the ease and choapnossof trans
portation found here and nt Yicks
borg, by water to Now Orleans and
tbe gulf, as woll as the line of road
projected and certain to bo made,
bence to Now Orleans, will enable
ores and other heavy articles to reach
tha Northern citios at ohonper rales
than by any other linos. In tho com
pletion of ils trans-continer.tnl divi

tho Cairo k Pulton rond, w hich will
bo cfl'ecled by December, 1873, tho
pople of tbo northern portion of Tex

tlo Bock, and the same date will find
tbo JofTorson division at tho same
point of junction and your city and
New Orleans will sharo in the profits
certain to bo drawn from tho rich re

Galveston and Si. Louis will be made
ono hundred and fifty miles shortor
than by any existing lino, nnd the

brings cheaper freights to the poople,
and tho completion of these lines
brings into the field an earnest com

With tho oarnostbope that the com

of its determination to givo overy

The Centennial.
Meeting; of the Executive Committee.
W'o are indebted to the Altoona
Tribune for tho proceedings of the first
meeting of tho Centennial F.xecutivo
Cotntniileo of the State of Pennsyl
vania, held at tho Logan House, in
that city, on tho 26 day of August.
Tho attendance indicated a warm feel

and programmo was unanimously
adoptod :
The United Slates Centennial Board
of Finance, with the viow of socuring
additional means to defray tho expen
ses incidonl to a befiuing eominemor
olion of tho first Centennial Anniver
sary of the Celebration of Independ
ence, and the erection of proper build
ings for tho uso of tho International
Exhibition of 1870 have adopted the
plan of canvassing the entire country
to secure subscriptions to the Centen
nial Stock. The Sub-Committee of
tho Board of Financo soleoted for tho
State bavo determined to ask Iho poo
plo of Pennsylvania for at least half a
million of dollars exclusive of tbe city
of Philadelphia. This amount is
deemed tho least that would suffice to
placo tha Keystone Stnto in the proud
position which she should occupy in
this noble and patriotic work, and it
is hoped that this movemont mav re
sult in socuring a much larger amount.

2. Thut to the accomplishment of
this end each mombor of the Commit
lco shall undertake to form the proper'
organization wilb tho county or coun

8. That the form of organization
shall be Ihe appointment of Sub-Commit
toes lo tho several counties to con
sist of not less than five mombers each,
whoso duty it shall bo to apportion to
the sevcrul towns, districts und wards,
the propor share of the wholo amount
assessed upon tho county on the baste
of $500,000 for the Suite. Suid county
CommiltiesandSub Committees shall,
if they deem it expedient, carry ouV
the plun of apportionment to each cit
izen, or to each as they may know to
be ablo lo contribute. Tbo proper
and easy method of doing this, will be
to take tho borough, township or ward
duplicate and assign such number of
sbaros as they may think proper to
each name. Thishasbcen the most suc
ccscful mode of obtaining church and
other subscriptions. Many persons
enliroly willing to do thoir full part, aro
greatly at a loss to know what that
partis. If this be pointod oat by those
having the mailer in chargo, such
citizens will bo apt to act upon tbo
suggestions prescnlcd to tbom.
4. Each Solicitor for slock should
