Solomon stood on Mount Moriah, to lay the
foundation ofthat matrniticenl Temple which
he had prepared to build unto the (rod of Is-rael.
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. I trees,

THE MOUNTAIN TOURISTS?
REMARKS OP HON. JAS. BUCHANAN,
Of PENNSYLVANIA,
In t/i? Sfiutte, February 28, 1887< on the Dittri-button
Qumtiom,
Mr. Buchanan said he was one of those
who intended to vote against the amendment
tied i>oliey. Does any necessitynow exist'
the adoption of Htteh a measurer Are <
now placed in the same situation in wh.di
we were at the laH session of Congre*?

tion. Whether there will be or not is aneei-tain,
contingent, dependent •!«"' l"e action,
of Congress, and upon the speculation* in
the public lands. My own impression M,
that, it there should "lie a surplus, it will U-Inipe—
tiTlij small; unless this very prop-osition
tor its dapeafee with the States ..ho.iH
be the means of creating or enlarging JJ,
by defeating the passage of important bill*
tor the defence and benefit of the »oun>rr.
Whut necessity now exists for the adoption
of this measure? If there shall be aMM
when Congress meets on the 1st of Deem,
ber next, it will then be time enough to pro- ..
vide for its disposition. One tjrost objection,
to this measure is, tliu* it will make the ex-treme
medicine of the Constitution its UuJp
bread. It has already become familiar \n «a>
that Senators are now willing to ^insert, it in

make it the settled policy of the count y.-

before the achievement of American Inde-pendence
and named in honor of a distin-guished
English statesman, John Wilkes.
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.. B. t'armich-ael,
Esq., who has been recently nominated
by the American Whigs as a candidate for
the Semite in the District composed of
Wilkes, bedell and Alexander. 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. Rose, to a smithy opposite
the office of Dr. 11. Whither, the rest of us
had gone to enjoy the cool shade and some ot
our friend's limpid mountain water. I pon

with tho acceptable sacrifice and holy in-cense—
the captive children of Abraham left
the sacred homes and graves of their Fathers,
and in sadness and sorrow sat down by the
dark waters of Babel, and hung their tune-less
harps upon the willows, and they •• wept
when they remembered Zion."
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

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,

and harmony, and give strength and
prtaon f> the whole structure.

D.orioufl fabric of freedom under which we
live, is the constitution, surrounded by the
virtue, intelligence and patriotism of our peo-ple.

Seven miles farther on the same road and
up the same stream, we saw the place once

Boone. His life is full of romantic inci-dents
