1 am 000 of tbe band
Who will faithfully Hand
In the booda of affection and love :
I have knocked at tbe door,
Once wretched and poor,
And there for aduiteeioa I strove.
By the help of a friend,
Who aaaiatauce did lend,
1 succeeded an entrance to gain,
Waa received in the West,
By couiu.aiid from the Eaat,
But not without feeling some pain.
Here my conscience waa taught.
With a moral quite fraugbt
With .entimenta holy and true ;
Then onward I traveled
To aee it unraveled,
What Hiram intended to do.
Very aoon to the East
1 made known my request
And ' light' by command did attend ;
When, lu ! I perceived,
In due furm revealed,
A Master, and Brother and Friend.
Thus far I have stated,
And simply related,
What happened when I was made free;
But I've "passed" since then,
And was " raised" up again.
To a sublime and ancient degree.
Then onward I marched,
That I might be " Aroh'd,"
Aud,to rind out those treasures long lost:
When, behold! a bright tlame,
From the midst of which came
A voice which my cars did accost.
Through.tbe "vail" I then went.
And succeeded at leuglh
The "Sanctum Sanctorum" to hud;
By tbe "Signet" 1 gained.
And quickly obtained
Employment which suited my miud.
In the depth I then wruugbt
Aud most carefully sought
For Tressures so long hidden there :
And by labor aud toil,
1 discovered rich spoil.
Which ate kept by the craft with due care.
Having thus far arrived,
I further contrived,
Among valiant knights to appeal ;
And no Pilgrim and Kuight,
I stootl ready to right,
No recreant foe did I fear.
For the widow distressed
There's a word in toy breast.
For helpless and orphan I feel ;
And my sword I could draw
To maintain the pure law,
Which the duties of Masons reveal.
Thus have I revealed,
[Yet wisely concealed)
What the "Free and accepted" well know;
I am one of the band
Who will faithfully stand
As a Brother, wherever I go.

CHAPTER V.
Two hours aftor this, as Hubert
Elliott wt-.s riding rapidly along the
beach, he saw a small boat about
halt a mile from the shore. A soli
tary man was in it, who, by violent
gestures, seemed desirous to attract
attention, llerliert drew his bridle,
aud waited till tin- boat nearcd the
shore, though chaQng at the delay.
"Will Holt!" he exclaimed, in
surprise. '• You here I" Then, some
thing in the man's lace arousing his
fears, be cried, " lo God's name,
what is the matter!"
" Turn back ! turn back !" said the
man, eagerly, as if even not yet re-covered
from his fright. " Yon are
riding to yonr death. The Indians
came down ou us just before day,
aud burnt the settlement *
" Burnt the settlement!"
"Aye! aud murdered every soul
in it—that is. excepting me," he
added, "and 1 just escaped by the
skin of my teeth. Yon can see the
marks ol the cursed arrows ou the
boat."
"And Miss I« Roy," said Hubert,
thinking, in this crisis, only of Julia.
" You don't mean to say, you cow-ardly
villain, yon left the women to
perish." Aud he clutched the man
by the collar, and shook him violent-ly-
" I—I did my best," stammered
the man, reeling back. " I say, mis
ter, let go. What could 1 dot—
There were three or four hundred
yelling devils alter me alone."
" Pshaw !" cried Hubert, recover-ing
from his momentary frenzy, aud
Hinging the man away from him.—
"But stop. You can be of use even
yet. Take my horse, gallop to the
Point, and tell Le Hoy to come up
with all the tneu he can rally. I
will go up the river iu your boat
and reconnoitre, and then meet yon
at the first bend below the settle-ment.
Hide for your life; and hark,"
he said, as Holt swnng into the sad-dle,
" be sure yon bring back a
horse for me."
" All right," cried the man. " Bnt
I say, next time don't be so hard on
a fellow. You don't know the Ind-us
*'
Hubert did not wait for him to
finish, but sprang iuto the boat, say-it
^. as In- pushed out into the stream,
"Tell Le Boy to bring all the am-munition
he can. His sister has pro-bably
been carried off, and we must
tollow them T"
Hubert said this, thinking thus
to break the blow to Edward. But,
for himself, he had no doubt that
Julia was dead, and now he was on
ly intent on revengiug her death.—
He rowed with all the rapidity be
could, till he neared what had been
Lavacca settlement, and then went
on more cautiously, straining his
ears to catch every sound. Bnt not-hing
broke the fearful stillness; not
valued, he descried, underneath the
wharf, or rather pier, for it wasbnilt
out ou piles, and was open below,
something white, like a woman's
dress. Drawing the boat under the
pier, aud securing it where it would
be out of sight, be waded carefully
Dp to the shore, still keeping under
the pier, so as to shield himself as j
much as possible from observation.
Suddenly Ins ears were gladdened ■
with the"sound of Charlotte's voice, j
exclaiming, iu toucs of suppressed!
joy.
» My Lord, it'sMarse Klliott 1 Oh, |
Marse11 I thought, at lust, you was I
an Injun, and he had found me;
out," and, bursting into a tit ofhys- i
terical weeping, she alternately re-1
joiced over his arrival, aud lament-1
ed the fate of " poor Miss Julee."
It was some time before she waa j
composed enough to tell her story
to Hubert. Sad as it was, it yet I
brought a ray of Dope to his Inisom. !
" You see, honey," said she, at |
length, "me and Miss Jnlee fotch I
Miss Fanny as fur as the head of
tbe wharf, arter she was shot, anil
then we both gine out, and afore we
could ketch breath enough to go
furdrr, a great, big Injun just kotch
up Miss Julee, and run off with her.
Anil then, alter that, Miss Fanny
she moaned, and said something I
couldn't understand, and the light
Daring up that minute, I seed this
here hollow under the wharf, and
managed to drug her inter it, and
get afore her. so (hey couldu't see
her white gowutl. Arter awhile, I
seeil Mr. 11 -.It swim out, and get
inter our boat, and I motioned and
made signs, anil hollowed to him at
last; but just as I did so, a whole o'
the devils charged over the wharf,
and I was so feared they'd hear
Miss Fanny a moaning, that I kept
iny liauir-over her mouth till she
stopped. I haint heard a sound
from mortal for nigh on two hours,
mill I'm leaul the poor thing's dead."
Hubert drew the poor gill out
from her hiding-place, and, finding
she still breathed, gave Charlotte
directions as to taking care of her,
and then proceeded to search for
some sigu of Julia. But he found
nothing thai threw any light on her
fate, nor ditl he meet a living tool.
George Moretou lay dead and scalp-ed
in front ot his own door. He
hail apparently been attempting to
get to Julia, as he had turned in the
direction ol hei house; his wife and
children were saved by their ab-sence.
The ground around the place,
where the houses had been, was
strewn with their contents, and
those of the warehouse.
Uuliert picked up one oi Julia's
pocket-handkerchieta, and a little
further ou a large sun-hat; but
neither gave him any assurance that
she had let them lull ; they might,
aud probably were, lai.cn from the
house by the Indians, aud accident-ally
drupiied, or cast away. Hut
his heart grew calmer as he failed
to discover her body. If she had
been carried off, as Charlotte declar-ed,
it must have been lor the pur-pose
of making a prisoner of her;
and tbe short stay that the Indians
had made, convinced him that they
feared to encounter opposition, and
were retreating rapidly. He now
bitterly regretted having sent back
the hois.' on which lie was mounted.
Had he retained it, be could iu-slHiitly
have followed on the track
of the Indians ; and he shuddered to
think to what Julia might be expos-ed
before she could be rescued fronj
their hands, even if rescued at alt
Returning to Charlotte, whom be.
found still in attendance on Fanny,'
even the faint comfort derived from
not Sliding Julia's body, was taken
from him by the old servant's la
mentation, that " her |«xir young
Miss had been tiling in the fire by
the owdacioiis raskels." Hulieit
had not thought of this ; her body
might indeed have been burned;
and he ground his teeth with iru-potent
rage and despair at the
thought ol it.
" Marse. jest help me lo carry dis
poor child yonder, under the shade
of the pecan trees," said Charlotte,
us be walked impatiently back and
forth, utterly forgetful of Fanny.
It was the woik ofa few moments
to bear the wounded girl to the
spot where Julia hail been carried.
Charlotte had drawn the arrows
out, and staunched the wounds, us
she best could; and, reproaching
himself for his neglect, Hubert now
gave his whole attention to reviving
Fanny. He was suddenly inter-rupted
by Charlotte, who, laying
bet hand on his arm, said, iu a
whisper,
" There's something moving be-hind
that thare clump o' bushes ; 1
seed a man dodge his head jnst as
yon rise up, marse."
Hubert looked in the direction to
which she pointed, and whispering
her to keep quiet, and lie down be-side
Fannv, crawled, with his gnn
in his hand, to Ihe edge of the pecans
to reconnoitre. He was sorry that
he had not pur Fanny at once into
the boat, and pushed off with her
and Charlotte : and he determined
now to do so. Hut before he could
do this, a man cautiously crawled
from the dense clump. One glance
was sufficient to show it was not an
Indian. Supposing it might be some
one who had escaped the massacre,
he called out. .
" Come on, if von are a friend ;
there are none but friends here."
To his surprise, Hubert was an-swered
bv a voice, that he recog-nized
at ouce to be that of Big root
Wallace. . T
" Ah ! Mr. Bert, are yon there 1 I
thought I saw a squaw scouting
roond under them trees."
So saying, be advanced to where
Hubert stood, adding, as be shook I
him by the hand,
"I was afeard on it; I was afeard J
on it; them cussed cowards in Vic-toria
koowed the devils was down,
and narry a one of 'em bad spunk
enough to come aud give tbe Lavacca
folks warning. I fotch a train in
from Sau Autoue, last night; aud
when I heard as how the Iujuus was
oot, and had bore away to the lef o'
Victoria, I knowd they was a strik-ing
for this place; and so I put
right oft to warn George on 'em.—
What is he—whar is he I"
Hubert shook his bead sadly.—
" Dead," he replied.
" And tbe rest on 'em—the wiui
men aud chileru ; and Miss Julee -,
the devils aint never got hert—
Dou't tell me they have. I tiled to
get down here iu time—cuss them
Victoria boys."
Hubert told all be knew related
his unavailing search for Julia, re
peal e.l Charlotte's story, and, final-ly,
showed him Fanny, still alive,
but senseless Wallace bent over
her, thoughtfully, for a fe"w mo-ments,
and then gave Charlotte
some directions as to the dressing
of her wounds. Under their united
care, Fanny gradually revived, but
was too feeble to speak at first, and
when she did speak at last, she was
evidently out of her mind.
" It's my opinion. Mister Bert,"
said Wallace, at length, " that ras
kils has carried Miss Julee off a
prisouer; that fellow would never
have ketcbed her up, and run oft
with her, if he meant to kill ber.—
General Felix Huston is out arter
this here very gang ol Injuns;
they've got news on it, it's evident,
or they wouldn't 'ev cut stick, and
cleared out from here so soon. They
hant left narry a beast behind 'era,
and mine is pretty well done up for
the present. I left him staked yon-der,
in tbe long grass, behind tbem
bushes. My judgment is, that we
git what traps we kin start up to-gether,
and when he's sorter rested,
I'll mount and be oft ou their trail,
and you kin follow arter, aud bring
as many more of the boys, us you
can git together."
" No, Wallace, I am going with
you ; if you think she has been car-lied
off, I'll never rest till I find ber,
dead or alive. Holt has reachetl
the Point by this lime, and Le Boy
will be here as soon as possible.
with horses and ammunition. We
will make what preparation we can,
and start as soon as he arrives ; the
Indians are not all mounted, prob-ably,
and must travel slowly."
" Well, I'm agreeable to yonr
going, et you cau get a horse in
time ; but I'll not wait for you ; as
soon as mine is rested, I'm off.''
" No," said Hubert, determinate-ly.
" If only one can go, I mean to
lie that one; she is more to me than
she is to any mortal living; and I
have the best right to go after her."
" I won't dispute you, if you put
it on that foot, and the Lord grant
ye find her." said Wallace.
He and Hnnert then proceeded to
collect the bodies of those who had
been murdered, of whom there were
five, beside George Moreton; Fanny
Kwing's father and mother could
not be lutiud ; they lived at the end
of tbe settlement, farthest from that
on which the attack was made : and
as their boat, was missing, Hubert
hoped they might have escaped.—
And so they had. Mr. Ewing hur-ried
his wife and twootber children
into his boat, and was stooping
over to east it off, intending to re-turn
and look for Julia and Fanny,
while his wife waited for them at a
sale distance, when an arrow struck
him mi the head, and he fell sense
less into the boat, which was swept
by the tide from the shore ; fortun-ately,
he was stunned : when he re-covered,
it wns to find that there
were no oars in the boat; so they
drifted down the bay, till seen from
the deck of a schooner, and picked
up by a boat sent out for them.
Big Foot and Hubert had com-pleted
their sad task, and returned
to the liecnn-trees, where .Charlotte
had managed to cook a conple of
chickens, shot by the former, which,
with a little coffee, gathered from
the qnantity scattered over the
ground, furnished a breakfast which
Hubert forced himself to eat, that
he might keep np his strength; they
had just dispatched it, when Big
Foot pointed out a boy on horse-back,
and leading another horse.—
Hubert immediately recognized
both horse and rider as belonging
to his father, and advancing to meet
the astonished boy, heard with de-light
that his own horse bad reached
home about an hour after snnnse,
with a terrible cut oa bis shoulder,
and a strange bridle on his neck.
. "Oh, master said as how I'd bet-ter
come down, and fetch auother
to you. Mars Bert; he Mowed as how
Ilig Black warut fiten for you to
ride, and you mought want one—
He said as how be didn't like the
looks o' that cut no how, and I was
to come down and tell you, if Big
Black had got away, he was safe at
home, and (etch yon the young
bay." .. , ..
ilnliert wrote a note to his father,
telling him what had occurred, and
begging him to come down at once,
in his boat) and take Fanny and
Charlotte lo his house, and see if he
could render Edward any assistance
stating that he, with Big Foot Wal-lace,
would start at once on the
Indian trairto rescue Julia and any
other captives. He also writes a
second to Edward, telling him of
his hopes of recovering Julia, and,
leaving that with Charlotte, be
mounted his horse, and. after telling
Dick to stay with Charlotte till Ed-ward
arrived, set out, accompanied
by Big Foot on tbe trail of the Ind
ians. They had not been gone an
hour, when Edward Le Roy snd
Valcour Dnpre reached Lavacca,
accompanied by one or two men on
footfrom the Point. Edward handed

Wheu earth is bright and fair,

And 'twill not seem lonely there

On my grave ]B. ,|le .uuijgut fall,
Then earth will not seem so gloomy.
When away from loved ouea all.
Cold, cold is the blast of winter,
And nnder the ice and enow,
A irrave wonld indoed seem dreary,
Then lay me where flowers grow.

ENVY.
Envy is one of the most despica-ble
of passions. There is scarcely
a crime to which it will not lead its
victims. It was envy that robbed
poor Nabotii ot his vineyaitl, and
added murder to the theft.. It was
envy that led the guilty Absalom to
desire the throne of his father David.
It destroys all that is best aud
noblest in character. So subtle is
it in its workings that we learn on
the highest testimony that "euvy
is rottenness of the bones ;" it eats
out all honor and manliness; it
givea sleepless nights autl restless
days. Moreover, envy is utterly
useless ; it helps nobody, it effects
no alteration, it wins no goal. As
we read in Job, "it slayeth the
silly one ;"' and all sensible people
must feel that there is marvellous
silliness iu envy.
But if the indulgence of envy does
ns no good, it is calculated to do
other people mucii harm. Hvery
passion tends to incarnation in some
iv ay. Evil emotion turns to action,
aud becomes embodied in ignoble
deeds! So deceitful is envy in its
operation, and so successful iu its
harm, that Ihe ipiestinn is asked iu
Scripture, "Who can stand before
euvy f" It undermines the very
grouud you are -landing upou ; it
breathes iniiendoes against your
character and reputation, which,
light as air to utter, arc strong as
iron and sharp as steel lo do you
damage. Yes, envy will depreciate
the character it cannot publicly de-laine
; it will explain virtues to be
vices in disgnise; it will sneer with
the lip and stab with the sugges-tion
of an evil hint in yonr absence,
whilst iu your presence it will ad-mire
ami applaud
That the envious pay the penalty
i:i their own misery tloes not miti-gate
the wrong they do to others.
It does help, indeed, to vindicate
the ways of God to man, as it shows
ns the divine hand dispensing, even
in this wo'ld, to each men accord-ing
to his siu ! But the misery they
feel does not atone for the misery
they inflict. Envy is one of the
basest of passions ; it is the essence
ofdevilism. By it Satan lost his
seat in heaven ; aud by it men and
women have, through the long
centuries, sinned and suffered in
endless ways.—(Juirer.

" Well, you take these three eggs

Harry followed his brother's di-rections,

day, just before noon, the sand be-gan
