The boy was well aware that his was <lb/>
distasteful to his silent auditor. For that <lb/>

He had the of his tale in his pocket, <lb/>
and he intended to enjoy to the full the dis- <lb/>
playing of It presently. Didn't he know all <lb/>
about overwhelming pride, her love of <lb/>
the things of life and her hatred <lb/>
of all that was original or peculiar Had <lb/>
he not himself suffered because of her <lb/>
dices When had ho over attempted anything <lb/>
outside the grim limits of the commonplace, <lb/>

wasn't It fun alive to see Ada wince at the <lb/>
prospect of the whole town seeing her sweet- <lb/>

Revenge for many a rebuke lay within his <lb/>
band, or rather his pocket. <lb/>

Mr. Miss beau, is too great <lb/>

As Mist beau be has too much dignity <lb/>
to sustain to dream of furnishing amusement <lb/>
for a Fourth of July crowd. That's your <lb/>
opinion, no doubt, Miss Custis; but it isn't <lb/>
mine. Harper is neither a nor <lb/>
a coward. And he is rich enough and <lb/>
enough to do anything. I have thought <lb/>
at times that ho was something of a fool to <lb/>
be so fond of you, for as sure as snakes yon <lb/>

aloud the lines of a tremendous <lb/>

with Mr. from motives of patriot- <lb/>

first balloon ascension. <lb/>
read the blazing head lines in a <lb/>
voice that admitted of no farther doubt on <lb/>
the part of his bearer. Then followed a col- <lb/>
or more of double leaded particulars of <lb/>
the highly dramatic event, as it was to be, in <lb/>
The Record's most conspicuous columns. <lb/>
Young Custis read every line of it aloud with <lb/>
diabolical joy, not unmixed with genuine ad- <lb/>
for the hero of to day. <lb/>

The whole town talked of young <lb/>
that evening. The richest, handsomest and <lb/>
most popular young gentleman hi the com- <lb/>
was generally admitted that he <lb/>
do almost anything not positively <lb/>
criminal without losing a balloon <lb/>
ascension was n little too much for the <lb/>
to forgive. Lafayette was not sci- <lb/>
in its taste. It rather leaned to the- <lb/>
mid balloons were then, supposed to <lb/>
owe their origin to theology's most powerful <lb/>
foe. Certain ten circles doubted <lb/>
of letting their juvenile members <lb/>
n the evil <lb/>
in the sir. Nothing but U- <lb/>
of the immortal Fourth could mitigate <lb/>
to wide a departure from decorum. But <lb/>
Liberty looses stays on that historic day <lb/>
and breathes with ease, and everybody <lb/>
agrees that she has a right to comport <lb/>
herself fantastically if she to do so. <lb/>
Vane of the matrons of Lafayette said that <lb/>
if Harper mother was alive this <lb/>
balloon escapade of his would never take <lb/>
place. But he had bad his own way always. <lb/>
His father was traveling in Europe, and was <lb/>
kind f man anyway who never eared a <lb/>
raveling for the opinion or others, if he <lb/>
was in the right And Harper just <lb/>
like him Fearless to point of reckless- <lb/>
he never the cost, never even <lb/>
thought of what would say. But <lb/>
was he not, with all his recklessness, the <lb/>
manliest, most noble hearted young man in <lb/>
the whale state So gentle and courteous to <lb/>
the well to the rich, always <lb/>
so brave and strong. The most polished and <lb/>
best informed of all the known to La- <lb/>
too. The younger youths looked up <lb/>
to him in envy and admiration, for he was a <lb/>
graduate of one of the best had <lb/>
traveled abroad, two glorious achievements <lb/>
not common in Lafayette in that early day. <lb/>
And lie certainly had a taste for science. As <lb/>
a civil engineer he had already made n fair <lb/>
start. The few who knew him best said that <lb/>
his promised balloon ascension was not in- <lb/>
spired by any vulgar love of notoriety. He <lb/>
wanted to make the trip because of the ex- <lb/>
and because he was anxious to <lb/>
treat to a novelty on the <lb/>
own day. It would cost him ever so much <lb/>
money, too, they said; for he and Mr. <lb/>
j of The Record, were paying for it all. <lb/>
So the excellent people of Lafayette talked <lb/>
it over, lamented It, hoped be would change <lb/>
his mind so on; but he was too great a <lb/>
social figure tor one of them to snub, <lb/>
if be went up in a balloon every day. <lb/>
The Custis homestead stood on a <lb/>
, looking the town. That evening as Harper i <lb/>
was walking toward it he came sud- <lb/>
upon a man and woman resting under <lb/>
a tree at the, foot of the long hilL Their <lb/>
were hut dimly outlined in the twilight <lb/>
but he saw that they were not of <lb/>
his ion n. They were gypsies. <lb/>
Three or four stars glimmered in the <lb/>
heavens, and the disc of the full moon rose <lb/>
slowly over the edge of horizon, like the <lb/>
sunny face of a chubby child peeping over a <lb/>
wall. A night bird shrieked and flew from <lb/>
the tree the young man approached. <lb/>
The woman loaned against the tree, bare- <lb/>
The moonlight shone upon her dark <lb/>
face, in which biased a pair of eyes like stars. <lb/>
A bright shawl was wound about her <lb/>
and waist, her arms were half <lb/>
hare, her short skirt revealed a pair of <lb/>
ankles and trim but dusty shoes. <lb/>
Tho man. all fringe and color, lay upon the <lb/>
at her feet. <lb/>
A magnificent stage picture, thought <lb/>
ho approached. Tho man sprang <lb/>
to his feet with a noiseless, cat like move- <lb/>
and in very had English asked <lb/>
land to tell him the name of the best doctor <lb/>
in town. As he ho pointed the hill, <lb/>
where n train of gorgeous wagons containing <lb/>
the gypsy's was slowly descending. <lb/>
was of the order of men <lb/>
home anywhere, and make everybody else at <lb/>
ease in their presence. At once ho became a <lb/>
in tho scene quite in interior and ex- <lb/>
harmony with the others. Who so <lb/>
well he knew how to avoid showing any <lb/>
astonishment at sight of tho unexpected <lb/>
strangers Who had so much delicacy in all <lb/>
relations with others Who so entirely with- <lb/>
out that curiosity of manner which is the <lb/>
expression of ineradicable vulgarity <lb/>
The gypsy asked about tho town, the roads, <lb/>
the country, and wondered if there could be <lb/>
. any objection to his camping for a <lb/>
few in the grove to tho left. <lb/>
was the owner of tho land, and he at once <lb/>
gave the permission. Then the <lb/>
told him of tho sick man in the first <lb/>
how vain had been all tho <lb/>
cal knowledge of his in his case, <lb/>
they wanted the best physician that could <lb/>
hail as speedily as possible, and they <lb/>
the gold to pay his price, too. <lb/>
The wagons rolled near. The man went to <lb/>
the directed them to tho site of <lb/>
the camp, repeated tho information he <lb/>
just obtained about tho doctor. <lb/>
Hitherto the woman had leaned against the <lb/>
tree in silence. Now she stepped forward, <lb/>
saying la good <lb/>
are so kind. May I not show yon j <lb/>
that are thankful Let mo your <lb/>
tell your good, <lb/>

She was young and comely. Her voice was <lb/>
low, her words very sweet. <lb/>

hand. <lb/>
She took it led him out of the shadow <lb/>
of the tree, where tho moon shone them ; <lb/>
in its full glory, for already it had climbed <lb/>
above the horizon fence and was looking I <lb/>
down at with a big half comic, half j <lb/>
sail smile The wagons rumbled into the i <lb/>
prove and the gypsy man returned and i <lb/>
threw himself on tho ground under the tree. I <lb/>
The, eyed palmist bent her head over <lb/>
the young man's hand and looked at it in- I <lb/>
for several minutes. Then suddenly i <lb/>
gazing into his eyes, she <lb/>
am sorry that so brave and gentle a <lb/>
heart his not a fairer fortune. Your star of i <lb/>
luck is even now clouding. To-night you will <lb/>
lose your love. She will meet yon with anger <lb/>
and will from you with bitter words, <lb/>

The prophecy of evil always moves us, in <lb/>

As Nettie walked away the gypsy woman. <lb/>

of the morning, will be the awakening, <lb/>

Two hours later Harper was <lb/>
the door of tho Custis home. The hand- <lb/>
some face of Custis was white with <lb/>
wrath, as she bade him good night and <lb/>
good-by. A from the steps be <lb/>
turned and looked at. her as sue stood on the <lb/>
balcony, white gown glinting through <lb/>
green vines, her dark eyes burning with <lb/>
anger. His heart swelled with pain. <lb/>
her well; but she had told him to go <lb/>
a and come back no more. The balloon <lb/>
was the enemy that had done this. <lb/>
emphatically anathematized it as be stood <lb/>
there, even while remaining loyal to it. <lb/>

hoping, lover like, that she would re- <lb/>

nothing to each other <lb/>
she answered, with the quiet <lb/>
emphasis peculiar to heartless people. <lb/>
Ho walked away hurling mental invectives <lb/>
at the balloon, and curses, they say, rebound <lb/>
against the one who utters them. There is a <lb/>
now which holds that a <lb/>
curse, even an unspoken one, damages its ob- <lb/>
but damages its still more. <lb/>
Preparations for the great day went on <lb/>
briskly. Speeches, music, a dinner, a <lb/>
the firing of cannon and, most of all, <lb/>
the balloon, were to make that particular <lb/>
Fourth of Jul; glorious and memorable <lb/>
Patriotism was to walk forth in continental <lb/>
purity. Freedom was to shriek as much as <lb/>
it pleased. The eagle was to soar, and <lb/>

At this moment two shadow fell on the <lb/>
white sand of road, and in a second more <lb/>
the figures that them paused beside <lb/>
palmist and subject. One was Nettie <lb/>
a young girl who earned breed <lb/>
by sewing at tho houses of the rich. The <lb/>
oilier was 1.1 ml Icy Custis. the irrepressible <lb/>
brother of U <lb/>
home after her day's work was dons, and <lb/>
seemed rather proud of his He was <lb/>
her fervent admirer, and often told hit sister <lb/>
that if Nettle had half a chance she <lb/>
would her in the in the <lb/>
matter of beauty and popularity. <lb/>
greeted with genial courtesy. <lb/>
The gypsy woman looked at her with de- <lb/>
interest. The young man laughingly <lb/>
told her that be had just had his fortune told, <lb/>
and that he was to be unlucky In love and <lb/>
have a lot of trouble on his twenty-ninth <lb/>
birthday. <lb/>
He did not see, the star eyed gypsy <lb/>
did. that the dreamy, face of <lb/>
young girl grow rigid and white a she <lb/>
listened. <lb/>

TO EACH other <lb/>
Tho morning of the Fourth came at last, <lb/>
though halt the male children of Lafayette <lb/>
doubted that it ever would. Citizens of the <lb/>
surrounding country chased the sun into the <lb/>
town. Young and old they deter- <lb/>
mined that nothing so fantastic, not to say <lb/>
demoniac, as a balloon should leave the earth <lb/>
without their seeing it. All went to look at <lb/>
the irreligious thing as it lay a limp mass in <lb/>
the. court yard, guarded by the <lb/>
and hovered over by <lb/>
swarms of boys. <lb/>
How exciting was tho business of inflating <lb/>
it Every other attraction lost interest as <lb/>
the work went on. Drinking glasses grow <lb/>
dry as powder horns on the lemonade stands. <lb/>
Tho dealers in ginger bread and early apple <lb/>
pies recklessly left their posts in subordinate <lb/>
and drew near the throng of patriotic <lb/>
humanity which surrounded the court house <lb/>
yard like a broad and breathing walL <lb/>
The balloon, fastened to its guy ropes, and <lb/>
receiving tho gas which was to bear it up- <lb/>
ward, was sighing floundering like an <lb/>
impatient, animal, anxious to off. At <lb/>
lost all was ready. The ropes were put into <lb/>
the bands of patriots, five and six <lb/>
to each rope Then the professional balloon- <lb/>
who had the addressed the <lb/>
breathless populace in the and <lb/>
penetrating voice of a ring master. <lb/>
then stepped out from a <lb/>
group of interested assistants, nodded right <lb/>
and left to his friends, gracefully touched his <lb/>
hat to the and sprang into the <lb/>
loon's basket. <lb/>
At this point all Lafayette opened its <lb/>
throat conceitedly and expressed its patriot- <lb/>
ism admiration. Tho cheer was mighty <lb/>
and prolonged. sitting on <lb/>
the door step of her mother's tiny cottage, <lb/>
looking upward in expectant agony, heard it <lb/>
knew that the dreadful hour had coma <lb/>
Never before had she so clearly realized that <lb/>
the body was the prison of tho spirit. She <lb/>
unutterably for wings, that might <lb/>
fly to that thing which was bearing <lb/>
her heart's hero away from tho earth into <lb/>
danger and perhaps death. <lb/>
Secretly, from her humble sphere, I <lb/>
looked up to, loved and worshiped the daring <lb/>
young man who was to sail into space <lb/>
make an American Not a soul that <lb/>
breathed knew of this ponderous secret. <lb/>
The man loved did not oven dream of it <lb/>
And yet, in her heart, she believed that some- i <lb/>
how, in some silent mysterious her love <lb/>
would go forth and bless its object Who <lb/>
can Hint her belief, born of the spirit <lb/>
which creates and peoples worlds, was not <lb/>
founded upon an eternal truth i <lb/>
The silence of death fell over tho crowd as ; <lb/>
the order n as g; i to clear the ropes and let <lb/>
the go upward. The wonderful car- <lb/>
of the air shot up, but not straight to <lb/>
the sky. The over excited men at one of the <lb/>
ropes held on some seconds after the others <lb/>
had lot go Tins matte the balloon lurch <lb/>
earthward on one side as it Striking a <lb/>
corner of the court house a rent was torn in <lb/>
its bulging side, and its flight at <lb/>
doomed. <lb/>
The swarming people below saw tho ruin <lb/>
that had been wrought and its possible dire- <lb/>
consequences, and terror took the place of <lb/>
interest, parching their tongues and <lb/>
limbs <lb/>
For a few minutes the young man in the <lb/>
basket did not of his peril. The <lb/>
loon initiated smoothly, scarcely missing the <lb/>
pas that from it gaping side. <lb/>
Standing he waved his hand to <lb/>
the sea of upturned faces. Then the great <lb/>
hall above him trembled, lurched and began <lb/>
to falter in its flight. The people watched <lb/>
him with bated breath. The stoutest of them <lb/>
groaned, the weakest wept Their strained <lb/>
eyes saw the balloon limp through the air, <lb/>
now falling, them sighing and rising a little <lb/>
again, then floundering to the right or the <lb/>

the earth Brushing over the tops of tress, <lb/>
it trailed off into empty space and was lost to <lb/>

crushed and in a pasture field. <lb/>
He was was quite dead, they said. <lb/>
Gently as they could did they carry him to <lb/>
tho nearest house, and there they straightened <lb/>
him tor grave, him in the <lb/>
vernacular of the place. And they put <lb/>
copper cents on his eyes, as was the custom <lb/>
of the day, for all this occurred many a year <lb/>
ago. The told me the i <lb/>
story. And they covered his crushed body <lb/>
with the white sheets of death. <lb/>
Half tho inhabitants of Lafayette were on <lb/>
spot almost as soon as <lb/>
Among the number was Nettie <lb/>
who had fairly flown over the <lb/>
ground, urged on by love, which In the mo- <lb/>

Tho first regular of the war was <lb/>

which were called for the <lb/>
same purpose. Judging from <lb/>
their action the sole object of the <lb/>
first was to obey the people <lb/>
in nominating men who were ac- <lb/>
to every State in the <lb/>
Union. How well this was done <lb/>
the names of Grover Cleveland <lb/>
and Allen G. Thurman will tell. <lb/>
By the same standard no one <lb/>
can deny but grand ob- <lb/>
of the second was to <lb/>
a man who could carry one <lb/>
doubtful State, totally regardless <lb/>
of any qualification, and to fill <lb/>
the second place with a man <lb/>
what qualifications <lb/>
only the ability and capacity to furnish <lb/>
enough money to buy another State <lb/>
and thereby elect the ticket. How <lb/>
transcendently different these <lb/>
evident objects in the minds <lb/>
true Americans. <lb/>
The third apparent fact we <lb/>
will only notice by asking you <lb/>
to read the platform of each <lb/>
Convention, noticing that if the <lb/>
model of the rights <lb/>
of the many against the interest of <lb/>
the few, an honest recognition of <lb/>
the rights of labor without de- <lb/>
to capital, and a full and <lb/>
free promulgation of those <lb/>
which have ever made this <lb/>
government paramount to all <lb/>
others ; that of the second <lb/>
is the most presumptuous <lb/>
ever perpetrated on an in <lb/>
high <lb/>
and higher tariff on all the <lb/>
of life, and free luxuries, <lb/>
together with an ever <lb/>
ting surplus, and an utter dis- <lb/>
regard of the laborer in favor of <lb/>
the capitalist. and see if <lb/>
these are not solid facts. <lb/>
The results of this work we <lb/>
will sum up briefly. The first <lb/>
will be certain apathy on the <lb/>
part of Republicans and <lb/>
bounded enthusiasm among <lb/>
Democrats, resulting in the <lb/>
doubted election of Cleveland <lb/>
and Thurman. <lb/>
Result second will be the lib- <lb/>
if not the entire support of <lb/>
Independents for the Democrat- <lb/>
ticket, as has been <lb/>
evidenced by the published views <lb/>
of the most <lb/>
them. <lb/>
be the <lb/>
higher appreciation of the <lb/>
sings love and happiness that <lb/>
surrounded and to make us <lb/>
feel more sensibly obi depend- <lb/>
upon-God. So let us <lb/>
from the past to the future, for <lb/>
Golden Age is before, not <lb/>
behind The flight of time <lb/>
is too rapid to stand and dream <lb/>
o'er the past. We pause to-day <lb/>
with half of the year on either <lb/>
side of us, and as we look back <lb/>
and exclaim how rapid the past <lb/>
has flown we turn and look to <lb/>
the of the future and <lb/>
almost cry out in impatience, so <lb/>
far away Yet if we are patient <lb/>
and trustful there is naught to <lb/>
fear. God has taken care of the <lb/>
past. He will give grace and <lb/>
strength for to-day, and will lead <lb/>
us on safely to the future. <lb/>
We had as soon see Harri- <lb/>
son and Morton defeated as any- <lb/>
body else the <lb/>
have put up. Some say they <lb/>
are the strongest men the <lb/>
had others render a contrary <lb/>
opinion, declaring them to be <lb/>
the weakest men that the con- <lb/>
have named. Be <lb/>
that s it may, the fight is on, <lb/>
and let them be strong or weak, <lb/>
no men could have been found <lb/>
who could stand before two such <lb/>
peerless leaders as Cleveland and <lb/>

has lately been said in the pa- <lb/>

the gallows on the 13th of July. <lb/>
On Saturday Governor Scales <lb/>
declined to interfere in the case <lb/>
leaving the sentence of the <lb/>
Courts. The Governor acted <lb/>
upon the report of a committee <lb/>
of experts on insanity composed <lb/>
of the Superintendents of Insane <lb/>
Asylums of North Carolina. <lb/>
They declare Potts to be sane. <lb/>
There is great sympathy for the <lb/>
but that could not inter- <lb/>
with the course of the law <lb/>
being taken. <lb/>
Compare Them. <lb/>
Two National Conventions <lb/>
met during the past month. <lb/>
These were the respective Con- <lb/>
of the two parties of the <lb/>
United States. These <lb/>
form and promulgate the <lb/>
issues of the two they <lb/>
represent. They put forth the <lb/>
men who are to represent and <lb/>
execute these principles. Their <lb/>
work has been completed and <lb/>
therefore it is not improper, <lb/>
even at this early date, to note a <lb/>
few facts in to, and <lb/>
results from these <lb/>
-meetings and their work which <lb/>
appear prominent to the most <lb/>
casual observer. <lb/>
First, compare <lb/>
between the make up of <lb/>
the two Conventions. The Dem <lb/>
which met at St. Louis <lb/>
was for its gentility <lb/>
and patriotism, for its harmony <lb/>
and readiness to act, and for its <lb/>
interest in the people as a whole. <lb/>
The other the Republican which <lb/>
met at Chicago was profoundly <lb/>
notorious for rowdyism and <lb/>
dearth of pa for its <lb/>
ling and tardiness in doing any <lb/>
thing, and for its total disregard <lb/>
of the masses in deference to the <lb/>
lordly few. <lb/>

These will be good old-time <lb/>
meetings attended <lb/>
with torch light processions <lb/>
speakings, etc. The people will <lb/>
no doubt turn out in great <lb/>
and the work the <lb/>
have done will be ratified <lb/>
amid great enthusiasm. And we <lb/>
hope none of the enthusiasm <lb/>
these meetings will <lb/>
be allowed to wane before the <lb/>
election, as there is much hard <lb/>
work necessary to insure success <lb/>
to the Democracy, and the party <lb/>
should be well organized. <lb/>
country begins. The ancient Scott- <lb/>
system was introduced into <lb/>
America by charter from Lord <lb/>
dour 1756, the two were main- <lb/>
side by side, until 1792, when <lb/>
both were united and left bat one <lb/>
Grand Lodge in each State. <lb/>
It is stated by Banks, in an ex- <lb/>
tract from the Free Mason Monitor, <lb/>
printed in 1797, that on Oct. 2nd <lb/>
1767, a dispensation, was granted <lb/>
by the Grand Lodge in Boston to <lb/>
the Bight Worshipful Thomas <lb/>
Cooper Master of Pitt county Lodge <lb/>
in H. C, constituting him Deputy <lb/>
G. M., of that province, and that <lb/>
the first Grand Lodge established <lb/>
under that authority was at Crown <lb/>
Point in Pitt county in 1767. <lb/>
The Grand Lodge of N. C, was <lb/>
first established at New Bern in <lb/>
1771 by virtue of a charter from the <lb/>
Lodge Scotland in 1711. <lb/>
he subsequent of Masonry <lb/>
in N. C, is easy traceable and needs <lb/>
no comment from me to add to its <lb/>
interest. H. Harding. . <lb/>

Half Gone, <lb/>
As we sat musing alone in the <lb/>
quiet of our room, a night or two <lb/>
ago, the thought flashed across <lb/>
our mind that the year was half <lb/>
gone. Yes, the year <lb/>
the resonant peals of the merry <lb/>
bells that heralded its birth had <lb/>
scarce spent their last echo in <lb/>
the dim half pas- <lb/>
away. But yesterday it <lb/>
seems, we stood upon the thresh- <lb/>
old of a new year, looking for- <lb/>
ward with joyous anticipations <lb/>
to the pleasure and happiness <lb/>
the days to come would bring <lb/>
us; yet not forgetting to lift a <lb/>
prayer for strength to enable us <lb/>
to bear the burdens and sorrows <lb/>
that should come in their share <lb/>
of our days; and before it is <lb/>
fully realized that we are in the <lb/>
midst of the conflict, the days <lb/>
have half gone. to <lb/>
all the <lb/>
of the past are all that re- <lb/>
main of them. <lb/>
And what of those <lb/>
I We glance back but a <lb/>
moment to see what the days <lb/>
have, been Have all of them <lb/>
been brightened by unalloyed <lb/>
Joy and happiness and <lb/>
No. Have all been clouded <lb/>
by disappointments, griefs and <lb/>
sorrows Far from i,. What <lb/>
then They have been just <lb/>
such days as God, in His <lb/>
and mercy, has seen fit to <lb/>
send. there have been <lb/>
days of purest happiness, when <lb/>
all the world seemed one <lb/>
oils realm of bliss. there <lb/>
have been days of deep sorrow <lb/>
and trial seeming to bear down <lb/>
so heavily as to almost bring <lb/>
despair. No doubt this is the <lb/>
of all, as joy and <lb/>
row are closely allied. But in <lb/>
looking back let banish the <lb/>
recollection of all that has been <lb/>
painful and the memo- <lb/>
of the bright and joyous days, <lb/>
feeling that what of sorrow has <lb/>
come was only to draw to a <lb/>
admirers of Masonry, claim for it <lb/>
an origin with the world, <lb/>
others its origin in the religious <lb/>
mysteries of the ancient world, <lb/>
in a supposed branch of <lb/>
those religious associations formed, <lb/>
by the Architects of who <lb/>
the name of the <lb/>
constituted an association <lb/>
builders, exclusively engaged <lb/>
the construction of temples, and <lb/>
other prominent edifices in Asia <lb/>
Minor, and who were distinguished <lb/>
by secret signs, other modes <lb/>
of recognition. Others are of the <lb/>
opinion that it originated with the <lb/>
Egyptians in the time of Joseph, and <lb/>
that he employed its majestic <lb/>
the erection one of the <lb/>
Pyramids, which opinion has some <lb/>
in the fact that rude <lb/>
Masonic emblems have been found <lb/>
amid the rums of some Egyptian <lb/>
fices. <lb/>
The best Masonic authorities, <lb/>
however, concur in dating its origin, <lb/>
as an association in the erection of <lb/>
Solomon's Temple. After the com <lb/>
of the Temple, great <lb/>
of these Masons traveled into <lb/>
different parts of the world, and en- <lb/>
gaged the erection of Temples <lb/>
which we have ac <lb/>
count in History. the 416th <lb/>
year after the completion of the <lb/>
Temple, Nebuchadnezzar, with a <lb/>
powerful army, Jerusalem, <lb/>
and alter a long contest, entered and <lb/>
despoiled it, sparing not even the <lb/>
Temple, but therefrom the holy <lb/>
vessels, removed the famous pillars, <lb/>
and and carried away <lb/>
thousands of inhabitants into cap <lb/>
in <lb/>
Masonic Tradition informs us <lb/>
that these captives contrived to <lb/>
hold their secret lodge meetings, <lb/>
and taught their children the mys- <lb/>
of Masonry, and the religion <lb/>
of their fathers. They were held in <lb/>
bondage years, when they were <lb/>
liberated by Cyrus, and forty two <lb/>
thousand of them returned to <lb/>
salt-in with and praise. <lb/>
By them Masonry was carried into <lb/>
Greece, Borne, Spain other <lb/>
countries. <lb/>
In the 715th year before the <lb/>
Christian era, Masonry was <lb/>
in Borne under the auspices <lb/>
of X n in a and was after- <lb/>
wards protected and by <lb/>
Julius <lb/>
In the year A. <lb/>
of the Roman fleet, took <lb/>
possession of Britain, declared <lb/>
himself Emperor, and restored to <lb/>
the Masons their ancient privileges, <lb/>
of which they had been deprived, <lb/>
from that time they have been called <lb/>
privileged or Free Masons. <lb/>
In the year A. D., the city of <lb/>
York in which were many lodges of <lb/>
Free Masons was made the residence <lb/>
