Around him were .Master Builders and expert Craftsmen, well skilled in all kinds of cunning and curious work, who had eoine ti-iim the tribes of Israel, and from Tyre and Sidon by the sea. Before him were collected the olive-wood, firr-tree*, and cedars of Leb-anon, stones well polished and precious from the distant quarries, and his coffers were over-flowing with the jewels of the East, and the gold of Ophir. Deep and strong were the foundation stones laid, and slowly and silent-ly the grand structure rose beneath the eye of the Master Builder, and the hand of the cunning Craftsman. For seven years they labored, and no sound of axe, hammer, or any loo! of iron was heard, neither did any jarring discord disturb the peace and harmo-ny of that fraternal band; tor though they were of different tribes and nations, there was a secret mysterious influence which made them dwell together in unity. When the Temple was completed, Solomon came with numerous offerings and costly and precious incense to consecrate it unto the Lord. What a grand and wonderful specta-cle was there presented ! From Dan to Beer-sheba; from tbe mountains of Gilead to the sea : the Tribes of Israel had come up to the consecration. What patriotic pride and rap-ture must have filled every Hebrews heart, when he beheld the Holy Temple over-look-ing the sacred City of his Fathers. There it rose magniticiently beautiful, like a mountain of polished marble, covered with the living golden sunlight, gleaming like the smile of God. Well now might Jerusalem be called -The City of (iod,"' and Zion "The mountain of his holiness,"—"beautiful forsit-uation, the joy of the whole earth." Well now might every Hebrew exclaim, "If I tor-passed through the fiery furnace of persecu-tion, and increased in wisdom, strength and beauty. It seems to have the vitality of truth, and the diti'iisivcncss of light. Nearly every where you can find .Masons whose hearts will kindle with brotherly love at the mystic signs and tokens of our Order. They dwell in the majestic forests, where the Col-umbian and Willamette are flowing—among the Rocky Mountains where the homeless Trapper and Gold-hunter are roving—amid the ruined palaces of the Montezutna's, and in the golden land of the Inca's—in the sun-ny isles of the sea—" where aromatic odors from spicy shores" are breathing, where the Acasia is smiling and the Arbutus ever is blooming. You will find them in China and Japan; anil they followed llavelock in his glorious march, and their blood was poured, and their shouts of triumph heard along the blazing lines of Cawnporc and Lucknow.— They still dwell by the Euphrates and in the holy land—beside the majestic tombs of the Pharaoh's, and along those classic shores where Athens is mouldering, and the '• Eter-nal City" sits in bondage anil weeps over des-ecrated alters, and the graves of her glory. 1 know that il is a matter of surprise to many persons, that Masons should be select-ed to lay the Corner-Stones of buildings.— Until a comparatively recent period, ail Ma-sons were operative workmen. They erect-ed the most iiiagniricient structures that ever rose upon tlte earth. They were the promo-ters of all the arts and sciences, and were very familiar with those beautiful styles of architecture which haw so long claimed the admiration of the world. In the middle ages they were selected to lay the foundations and build the cathedrals and sacred edifices, for they were the most expert and scientific work-men, and generally lead virtuous lives, and were observant of all the Christian duties as security and peace, and " when our earthly | "So sweet a spot of earth, you might.

Nature has done more for the beauty of that place than its inhabitants have. To the South-West is the Brushy Mountains, the highest point of which is called Poor's Knob, and from the North cometh up over a lofty eminence, tho roar of the rapidly rolling Yadkin. There we met several pleasant ac-quaintances. Among them, I..

Be was looking very well and seemed in high hopes I thing of his election. J. B. Gordon, Esq., will per-haps, be his opponent. He had not, howev-er, accepted tho nomination which had been tendered him by the Democratic Convention, when we were there. About the time we were taking leave of this place, our conductor, I'mle Jacques, for the purpose of getting some repairs done, drove the baggage-wagon, drawn by our excellent mule.

The building of Solomon's Temple is an event of peculiar interest to every -Mason.— Then was organized that institution which he so fondly cherishes, and which has con-ferred so many blessings upon the human race. -Many of its mysteries existed before that period, but Solomon, the wisest of men, first reduced them to a system of order, har-mony and beauty. More than a hundred thousand Craftsmen were then bound togeth-er in a holy brotherhood by links more pre-cious than the gold of Ophir, and they have proved to be indestructable by time. After the completion of the Temple, our Ancient Brethren became despersed in every land and clime, and carried with them the sacred mysteries, and the sublime and beau-tiful truths which have been handed down to us. Amid the ^ross moral darkness which forages covered the earth, they preserved the great and sublime truth, that there is but one God, and the soul of man is immor-tal. Faint indeed was the holy light that Bin ne upon their pathway. With anxious eyes they watched the little star in the thick darkness, and with longing hearts they de-sired more light, but they were unable to attain unto the excellence of a perfect knowK edge. And there came "the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths Btraight"—an< then the morning star of Bethlehem ushered in the Glorious Sun of Righteousness, and the •'good tidings of great joy were proclaimed unto men." Far be it from me to compare Maaoaary with Christianity. The one is as inftriarto the other, as the works of man are to the works of God—the one may assist in teach-in «" II- the secondgrcat commandment,"Thon shall love thy neighbor as tliyselt"—the other alone can teach us the first great command-ment, " Thou shall love the Lord thy (iod with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." Christianity is the great living light which covers the earth where-ever it falls with glory and beauty. -Mason-ry is one of the lesser lights casting the re-flected rays of brotherly love, virtue, and charity into many a human heart, il soothes the widows wounded heart, and stops the or-its purity, unswayc ion thus,- -.'real national I It will go the Consti- course, and ou«e m of f the i ilin port* siio» nger uiitrv then rpfau. the States as a ma er of whole system of I Tern the is •:!.■ intrr. ple—(he faithfulness of the Committee, and the taste and integrity of the Architect and Builders. The Comer-Stonc has always been regard-ed as the most important and essential part of every edifice. It should be laid firmly and securely, for if removed, the beauty and strength of the edifice is destroyed. This ceremony should teach us how important it is, to lay properly the Corner-Stone of every moral edifice. It should teach ns our duty to ourselves, our country and God. We should remember that honesty, virtue, and truth, are thconly sure corner-stores on which the edifice of character can bo erected, which the breath of calumny can never tarnish—the undercurrent of envy, and the storms of mal-ice cannot over-turn, and the tires of trial and persecution cannot consume. With such cluyawfirrr, we w\l! become corner-stones, bi; (k £ together the elements of society in and harmony, and give strength and prtaon f> the whole structure. rlii- ceremony should also remind us of otir y :is citizens. The Corner-Stone of this D.orioufl fabric of freedom under which we live, is the constitution, surrounded by the virtue, intelligence and patriotism of our peo-ple. Holier otferiii were made at its consecration. It was con-secra- ied bv the prayers and tears of our fath-ers— by tlie purest best-blood that ever flow-ed from patriol hearts, and by the blessings of cur Cod. May it always remain as sacred and valuable. Directly above and on the same river is the farm of the late distinguished Montford Stokes. Major Stokes, his son, now lives there. Seven miles farther on the same road and up the same stream, we saw the place once owned and occupied by the celebrated Dan-iel Boone. His life is full of romantic inci-dents and daring adventures. In his day and times, he was, emphatically, the Xiinrod of the American forests. Hunting, he won bis wife; hunting, he made his fortune, hunting and lighting the Indians, he made • name which will never perish. No nove-list, in his wildest dreams, ever conceived of so singular a circninsiance as that which led to his marriage with Miss Bryan, whose father lived on tho South Yadkin. Hard by her father's cottage home was a spring or Bait-lick to which deer often stole to slake their thirst. Boone was want to place him-self near there, under a thick covert of bushes, from which he could not be seen, so that he might be able to fell the noble buck ,„• Ids doe unawares. One day, while there he saw something the tility, magnificence and natural advantages, which are a few days ride from yu. The distinguished President of our Uni-versity, once said to one of his classes, that this is the most highly favored State in the Union. This is strictly true.
