a word more, [ (Just the thing, that they wanted,)
Le§eU o/ the Third Dtgrte.—T\ic
legend, as it to called, lor the Master
Manna, is one of Uia moat touching
And beautiful in the great drama ot
fife. Founded as it is, upon the mys-teries
and eeremouii'M ot tho ancient
Egyptians, it has come to ns as the
very embotliroent ami .substance of
Masoary. It if an impraaaive ezem-
Suncatioo of the birth, the life, the
uties, the death and resurrection oi
man. It stamps npon the intelligent
afaaon tho sublime doetriDe of the im-mortality
of the son!; and it waa a
wise nroTiaioo of all Grand Lodges
that that degree should never be muti-lated,
that it should never be (riven
in part only, bat should be completed
at every undertaking. To omit this
legend u to omit the degree itself.—
The legend is the grand landmark,
the unfailing beacon of Masonic cen-turies.
It la never changed; it will
admit of no removal, for it is a rallying
point of the universal brotherhood.—
It conveys volumes of thought, and
furnishes food for the reflective mind
down to the grave, and as a simple
drama stands aB.eaaallea' beaide any of
the productions of genius. No Mason
ever participated in and forgot it; ho
felt its moral upon his soul as though
it were the touch of a divinity, and
when properly understood, it inspires
a solemnity second only to the scene:
of death. Let no inventive or tinker-ing
genius, therefore, ever tamper with
the beautiful legend: it wants nothing
added to it, and will allow nothing
taken from it
We fraternally urge Master Mason
everywhere to carefully read
this extract. There can be no exouHC
for any mistakes or bungling, at the
conferring of the sublime third degree/
No Master of a lodge should ever allow
it to be conferred until the Master and
his aaaiatants are thoroughly prepared
to do it well. Let the spirit and de-sign
of the degree be caretnlly studied
and well comprehended, until every
design can be executed in a serious and
£roper manner. We recently heard a
[aster of a lodge say: "We are going
to confer the third deRrec at our next
communication, and I am afraid we
shall blunder badly, as tro have not
worked the third since early iu the
spring." Our advice under such cir-cumstances
is, don't contur it; wait
until passing months, if need be, in
lodges of instruction, yon can eoufer it
well.
QooiAitiee.—Spnrgeon sententious-ly
expresses a number of thoughts
" worth leuiemln-riug" in the following
appropriate sentences, which he pub-lishes
as •' advice gratis":
Nobody is more like an honest man
than a thorough rogue.
When you see a man with a great
deal of religion displayed iu his shop
windows, you may depend upon it he
keeps a very small stock of it within.

Don't believe the man who talks
the most, for mewing cats are very
seldom good mousers.
By no means put yourself in another
1 .or sou's power. Ifyou put your thumb
between two grinders they are very
apt to bite.
Drink nothing without seeing it,
sign nothing without reading it, and
make sure that it means no more than
It says.
Don't go to law unless you hav)e
nothing to lose; lawyer's houses are
built on fools' heads.
Put no dependence on the label ot
a bag, and count money after your
own kind.
In any business never wade into
water where you cannotsee the bottom.
See the sack ojien before you buy
what is in it; for he who trades in the
dark asks to be cheated.
Keep clear of a man who does not

WtU Spoken.—Tho Chicago lVataB
(Hep.) says :
If the disabilities ofVance are not re-moved,
then the real reason will lie that
he is a Democrat. Thia is wholly tin
tenable; as a party act it is impolitic
and indefensible, and, therefore, we
hope that there will be no objection
anywhere to his admission. Indeed
the proper way is to make one job of it
and by generelact,remove the disabil-ties
of all.
To which the NewTork Eeening Et
