Free Masons is dangerous to the liberties of the country, or destructive to the happiness of the people, we are well satisfied is without any foundation in truth or the facts of history. For when has Masoury plotted treason against the stability of the government, or fought adversely to the liberties of the people t When has she deserted the cause or education or frowned upon the institutions of religion? When or where has the inquisitorial couit of Masonry been established for the burning of heretics or the hanging of Anti Masons? When or where, in the secrecy of its operations, has the cause of virtue been injured, or the systems of infidelity advocated? When or wherethrough her instrumentality has truth been bartered away on the public welfare profanod and trodden under fool? Can history tell us? May tradition point out the time or the p'.ace? No ! None of these interrogatories can be answered affirmatively.
For with the spirit of peace and the action
of charity, Masonry has kept her steady
march, through the melancholy ruins of ages
sublimely, unimpaired and unimpairaDle. l)y
nasties have fallen, but she has stood Thrones
have crumbled and the power of Kings has I
trailed in the dust but she, as if protected by the omnipotence of Providence, has never been shorn of her strength, or robbed of her being. Where tyranny has held the reign of
its empire, Free Masonry, though laboring under the heartless cruelties of an ignorant and bigoted persecutiLn, lias unobtrusively sheltered her family, and iu the sweetuess of her spirit, sang her songs of toleration and charity.

II vnius of Life.o i, BY JOHX 8. RE1D. How blest are they, who die in the Lord, Repose in peace upon his breast; Who trust his grace, believe his word And thus believing, sink to test. How sweet the sleep of those who die, In early youth, the pure and young, Before grief's tear has dimmed the eye, Or sorrow's pang the heart has wrung. Up to the skies on angel's wings, The pure enfranchised spirits flies, And on a harp with golden strings, She sings of joy that neverdies. Peace to the dead, sweet spirit peace! Bend from on high thy starry throne, And bid our sorrowing bosoms cease, To morn, because, thy soul has gone. Gone to a land of pure delight, Where living waters geutly flow, To burn and shine like star of night, With holy love, and heavenly glow. Blest are the dead, who in the Lord, Rejoicing, calmly sink to rest, W ho trust his grace, believe his word, And thus expire upon his breast. Hymns of Life.--" 2. Why mourn we for the youthful maid, For friends long past away; Why weep we for the silent dead, Within their homes of clay;
The flower blooms sweetly on their graves,
The dews shine bright and clear, And calm as are the stilly waves, Their verdant tombs appear. O, she was young and beautiful, The child of many a prayer; A daughter kind and dutiful, With heart so pure and rare, But like the dew at morniug's hour, Or bloom upon the rose, Her spirit sought its natal bower, And left this world of woes. Then weep not for the silent dead,
But tread her star-lit way; Like her on Jesus rest thy head; At life's calm close of day, Seek thou a brighter, fairer home. When this vain life is o'er, Where flowers immortal, ever bloom, And death can part no more.'
The above Hymns were written by M
Reid to be sung at the funeral sermon of a young lady, by request of her friends. Miss
fcliza Russel of Cauueltou, who departed this
Franklin County Agricultural Society. The following is submitted as a very imperfect sketch of the conversations at the Monthly meeting held at Laurel, on the 1st. Saturday of June, 1652. Sheep A: Wool. Mr. E. M AC Y being called upon by the President, feared he should not be able to give any information in regard to wool, or wool growing, thatwouIdbe profitable or instructive to the audience. It was true, he had been in business of handling wools for most of his life, since he was fifteen years of age about twenty five years. He believed as far as the manufacturing is concerned, there is not enough attention paid in this part of the coun
try to the raising of fine wools,the finer qual

Oh the Death of Henry Clay. BY CHARLES NEVILLE. Drop not a tear upon his tomb, Nor o'er his earthly bed; Let cypress cast its mournful gloom, But laurel wreaths be shed Why should you wash the earth with tears? Why mourn for Henry Clay? The Statesmau of a thousand years Is born! not dead to-day. Scan close the roll of coming time, Of future years and see, America, will e'er be thine
A greater son than he! The Nation lives iu her dead sons'. And Washington for aye, Will speak through million living tongues; Then shed no tear for Clay. Then drop no tear upon his tomb, Nor o'er his earthly bed, Let cypress cast its mournful gloom , But laurel wreaths be shed And o'er him swelltriumphant song, Nor raise one mourning lay, For millions voices dwell upon The immortal name of Clay. Summer Friend. As the bee is to the flower, In the honey-laden bower, To each leaflet in the grove, Humming gentlesongs of love; Pausing only in his tt'ght, Where the treasure cup is bright, All unwilling to depart, Till he's reiched the very heart, Sucking ever while he sings Life from the insensate things. As the bee is to the flower, In the honev-laden bower, Are summer friends.

Mr. M. had been in the habit of purchasing
considerable amounts of wool both in this
neighborhood and in the western part of the State say Putnam and Montgomery coun-
ties,and was acquainted a with few or the wool growers, especially Mr. A.C. Stevenson, Mr. Alex. B'ack, and Mr. Win. Peck. Mr. Stevenson, who clipped 1500 last year, and had 2,000 this season, thinks as many pounds ot fine wool say saxon merino can be produced from a gi en quantity of land as can be
produced of the coarser kinds, which would give the grower decidedly the most profit on
the fine wools. Mr. Black clipped last year about 1200. Mr. M. bought this clip at 36 cents a pound.aud thought it a little over a dol
lar a head. Mr. Black finds a good demand
for all the increase of his flock he has to spare
at from three to five dollars a head for ewes;
often selling bucks much higher perhaps from
ten to twenty-five dollars. He (Mr. M ) had sold wool for the last few years to a considera
ble amount the surplus alter the Factory was stocked, such as they sold being what might be called common wool, it was clean washed and sold for about 2d to 32 cents per. pound. He was surprised at the uegligeuce of farmers in regard to suffering burrs to grow where their sheen had to run. Often the wool
is of no value more than picking the burrs out. He could offer no more remarks, then, as he was one that must think and read upon any subject before he would be ins'.ructive. His remarks he hoped would serve to open the way for the conversations on that interesting subject.
Mr. LINS called out. He was not prepaed to speak advisedly upon Jthe particular subject before the society. But situated as we are, every branch of agriculture demands, and should enguage our attention. This branch had been much neglected. As a general thing people had been criminally so; ome had been attenMve. lie was understood
tosy that he had had some opportunity of
judging of the articles produced, and that the quality was generally bad. Dogs have made serious havoc among sheep. He hes
itated not to Bay that the destruction of this
kind of property by dogs was much larger than was generally supposed. Estimated the amount of this kiud of stock destroyed on a small ispace of three miles square at $200. This was a serious draw back. Every nerson knew it was better to keep sheep la
open fields; they do better. Persons looked at this danger and hesitated about going iuto
the business. He had suffered, and after giv
ing several instances where numbers of sheep had beeu killed by dogs, said the evil might
not be general, but it was serious, and one that needed a remedy a legil remedy re
lief was needed; and inquired with emphasis If the canine rac, was more precious than
other species of property. Mr. L. dwelt at
some length upou this branch of this subject
and especially pressed the necessity ot more adequate protection of sheep from destruction
by dogs. Fraclically he could not give any
views as to the kinds of sheep mt proper
