Here was gathered the elite of that noble city, to celebrate the birthday of the heiress of Allyn Hall. Aristocratic, imperial beauty, was gathered there, and regal1y beautiful did the petted leva Allyn look, as she received the many congratulations bestowed upon her. Her elegant attire of pure white, with gems of rarest worth upon the beautiful arms and neck, and sprays of “jewcls fastened back the abundant curls from a peerless brow; while the excitement of the hour sent just enoughcalm to the beautiful lips and cheeks. Her form was perfect, and_ every movement was full of grace, as she flitted among her guests, indeed the“star of the evening.” Among the 'ﬁna'ny' whostrove to do her homage,was one who deserves especial notice, for he was one of the noble ones|of earth. Earnest I.avalle, whose parents were exiles from the shores of Italy, and had come to try their fortunes in our Young America. An artist, he was' already favorably known, and bid fair to excel in the halls of art. Lured on by the charms of the lovely leva, he | offered his all, his hand and heart, a sacrifice upon the shrine of }ierlbeautyj‘ A gleam of triumph passed through her heart as She looked on the form of the gifted artist. She assured him that she loved him, but bade hinrwait, . thus strengthening the cords 'round his heart; making them the harder to be severed, But she conguered her woman’s hedrt with its purest love, and with cool, almost bitter words, told . him she could not marry a poor man. ‘ e was stunned for a moment, and could scarce believe that beneath that beautiful face was a heart filled with deceit, and that her God was ambition. Hewent a\i'ay ; and amid the beauties of the far off west, he strove:-to forget his early love, and still persevere in his glorious art. Success crowned his most sanguine hopes,; and in five years time he counted his wealth by the ;hundred thousand, and his name was ‘heralded far and near by the notes offame so dearly earned. The proud Teva still looked high to find one wliose wealth could gratify her most extravagant tastes. At last therg came one who satisfied even her. Wilﬁst fancy. A young merchant came to New York, and setting up.a splendid establishment, and being reported as worth ten millions, his name soon gained a ready passport to the courts of fashion. But amid. the erowd of beauties that fluttered around Lis path, none atti‘acitedrhis attention ' but our heroine leva Allyn, who had scorned many ‘a nobler heart. Time passed swiftly’ on. Jerome Adams, who had a store in Chicago, as well as in New York, was spending the sum-: mer there, arrimging his business 5o as: to spend the winter in New York.— While there, he wrote long loving letters to Jeva, assuring her of his truest friendship. \Vhpﬁ winter c_:anie, he was again in the palace home of Judge Allyn planning bright day charms' of future happiness for, the beautiful Teva. She was happy now, and why should’nt ‘she be? He who clasped her hand was rich. - The days passed pleasantly alohg, and Teva strove amid the gayeties of fashion to forget her treachery to one far away. It was time for Jerome to return to his store in Chicago, but before he left, he placed an elegant ring upon leva’s finger, as a talisman to remind her ever of one dear as life, and their plighted troth. The wedding day was set to be.in the flowery month of June, when nature would wear her loveliest hues, and summer be clad in her bridal robes. Teva was happy now, though sometimes the memory of her injustice to Earnest Lavalle rose like an image of darkness,’and haunted her pillow. Itwas quickly cast aside, and she went briskly on in the preparation for her wedding. Her thoughts were aver busy-in selecting the magnificent finery for her bridal outfit. :

She at last selected a robe of white satin, richly embroidered, and a long white veil of richest lice was to be fastened areund her beautiful head by a coronet of pearls, whilethe same was to encircle the fair neek and arms. ’

Ah, fair leva, little did you dream or think while musing on the position you so much coveted, that woe, bittér woe, was in store for you, and that there would be no silver fining to the cloud so sobn“tq overwhelm you. I would that some good gem might shield you from ' the Lilast, but alas, the wreck you caused anotheris but reversed, and the mad waves of disappointment, and the shadows of destroyed hopes, which you catised toenshroud anotlier, is but in' stoke for you. The morning sun rose brightly, and cast its' golden beams over hill and dale, lighting the palace and the eot; with its gorgeous rays..’T was the first day of June; the day when Teva Allyn was to take the name of wife, and before the altar, to love, honor, and obey, one. who won her first by ‘his wealth, and™fihally by his fine magnificent. form and winning ways. ‘He was a thoroughgentleman inevery sense of the fashionable application ot the’ word. Possesséd of indomitabl wills, he neyer acknowledged such a word, as fail in. anything he undertooki: <3 qu bl edß dad W s, At last the hur camawnegfma was to appear to claim his;bride. . But *F \,,_'.‘_g:: $ 15 5

instead of the ‘intended bridegroom there came a letter; and how wildly her heart throbbed as she recognized the familiar writing for fear that sickness or some fearful catastrophe had befallen her Jerome. With trembling fingers she broke the seal, and as she unfolded the letter a card dropped out; she seized it eagerly, and read with gleaming eyes the names of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Adams, Chicago, Illinois. She could scarcely stand, but by an extra effort of her proud will, she nerved herself to read the letter which was as follows: = e

» CHICAGO, May 25.—Ieva Allyn. But three months have passed away since I left you, with your kiss burning on'my brow, and your words of love ringing in my ears. But a clrange has come; I will tell you what it is. You little dreamed when you spurned Earnest Lavalle from your feet, that the day would come when you would beg for merey. I never told you but will tell you now, that Earnest is my cousin, near and dear by a thousand ties stronger than relationship, and when you turned . a deaf ear to his eloquent pleading, and blasted his fondest hopes, while you made ambition your God, so tospeak,T made a vow that Earnest should be avenged. And if I mistake not, I have 'accomplished my aim.—Think, now then, ’tis no idle thing to trifie with men’s hearts, as you would. some childish toy; and though I can but regret your sorrgw, and the disappointment to your great pride, I am more than repaid for my actions by knowing Earnest is avenged. Ere this reaches you I shall be the husband of another. Stella Vernon, my sweet prairie flower, is all I desire, pure and true as I could ask. May you study well this sad lesson, and profit by it, ig the wish of JEROME ADAMS. The shock was too much for leva, and she was borne senseless from the room, and carried to the chamber she had arranged with so much pride, for her bridal room. They pushed the disheveled ringlets from her brow, and strove by ¢very means to soothe the agitated frame; but it seemed almost - in vain. S i |

Months passed on; still she was unable p'o. leave her room. One, ves two years p'assep away, and reclining on that same coucly was the emaciated form of the once soradiantly fair and beautiful Teva Allyn. ‘ -Here was the wreck of one who had striven to set her woman’s crown with the precious jewels of many a man’s love, and yet to wed one whose name and wealth. would be a passport to any circleand any clime. But alas! for all her dreams df? happiness; two years from that never to be forgotten morning, when she was to have become a bride, let us look in upon the home circle of Judge Allyn. - In that same room we see her still; the light is shaded, all is hushed and still, except the s-ilppressed moans of the suffering parepts, for leva is dying; the death angel has whispered, and to her listening ear comes the far away music of the'better land; agreat calm is stealing over the suffering form, and Judge Allyn will soon be childless. ':% ;

The crushing blow to her pride was her death knell, and she had never rallied from the shock. Through all those weary months she had watched @1)(1 wzﬁted; prayed to make some reparation for the wrong she had done. But no opportunity ever came. She heard of Jerome's untold happiness and of Earnest Lauvalle’s’ fime; and how his art:had brought him wealth beyond her wildest dreams. But he never came to her, for ‘the words she would have been: so glad to have told him. Yet her prayers and tearg were not all in vain, and her life’s lamp went out brightly, into the shadows of the great mysterious hereafter.— Gently they composed her youthful figure, still so very beautiful even in death; arrayed her in what was to have been her bridal robes, and bore her tenderly away, to the shaded resting place of .the dead, and committed her dust to imother earth:: Over her grave is a costly monument, with her name and loving words of memoriam, but would it not be more fitting' to carve ’o‘ver'her head these words: | | 'T is not in beauty’s faultless form, y Kordn the gilded halls of fame, | . W That truest bappiness is found, " 'TIt, there, exists but in a name, :

] ¢+ +Written for the National Banner. “WHY DO N'T YOU ANSWER ?” As we have very frequently, of late, been asked by the opponents.of secret societies why we: fail to answer the many ‘bitter ‘charges’ made against these institutions—especially Masonry —through the columns of the BANNER, and otherwise; we have to say. that; among the many charges.preferred we have yet to learn of the first attempt made to attack, directly, the reql.principles.of MBsSOREW i -0 rxin »i e Not, to jour knowledge, havé any yet been bold enough to denotnce the time-honored. flag of Masonry because of the inscriptions, “Faith, Hope and Charity, Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth? . These constitute her princi ples,—together with “the cardinal virtues,—the carrying out of Wwhich is the sole aim ‘and object of the institution, These. principles, objects. and aims are published-to the world, and if ‘any fail to understand them,"it is because he has failed fo study them. It is trde that, in cartying out these, in some respects, some little secrecy is observed—they *sound no trumpet’ before them.” Aghin, soar as some of the benefits of the institution, are concerned, following the Apostolic injunction, as ‘well as the teaching of the Church, theély members re tatight, 'to “do good unto all men, hut espet-

“ially to the household of faith,” but they are, at the same time, taught that this injunction does not relieve them from any-duty they owe to God, their country, or to mankind in general. The principles of the institution, then, being published to the world, and no attack made upon them, we { have no need of a defense. : It is true that almost all the infamous charges that malice, hatred, | bigotry and |superstition have been able to invent, have been made, but “these are charges against the members and not against the principles of the society. These infamous charges are publicly made and Masons called upon to deny them, and their failure to do so is claimed by their accusers as an acknowledgment of their truth. What convinecing logie! ; : Let us put a case.’ A stranger comes te the town of Ligonier and, in a public audience, charges that the Masons who have resided there for over thirty years and have ever maintained good characters are corrupt villains; that they would violate their oaths as witnesseg, as jurors and ‘as judges; that they are bound by solemn oaths to sereen the guilty at all hazzards, and that they are the ene.mies of the church and. of the government in which they live, and calls upon them, then an@ there, to deny the charges. . 'Now, will any honest, candid, thinking person in' the plice. say that they are in honor bound to doso? Or wifl they not rather say: “The character and conduct of these, our neighbors, have been such as to effectually repel all -such (éharges in the minds of all sound-minded, candid, thinking persons?” Therefore, relying upon that sense of justice, ‘intelligence and sagacity which we believe i)el'vade the great mass of society, we believe that Masons can well afford to treat these infamous charges with merited silent contempt, believing that, | ; ’ “He ig i poor warder of his fame ' | ‘- Who is ever on the watch to keep it pure,” and especially may we feel content to | pursue this eourse when we examine !the organization opposed to us and find it composed of elements that will speedily work its own dissolution. It sends forth its agents, clothed in cler-. ical robes, whose chief ‘delight seems to be to make “hellish meals of gpod “men’s names;’ exhibiting the most bigoted intolerance of the opinions of “‘all not in striet harmganit_h their own. For be it remembered that Ma- - sons and Odd Fellows are not the only recipients of their foul abuse, and objects of their bigoted: intolerance.— ‘"N(‘), no, their bigotry, hatred and malice Stop not here. The many thousand humane and philanthropic. men and women who, with hearts melting at the sight 'of human distress, have taken the drunkard, reeling through ‘the streets or wallowing in the gutter, by the hand and kindly and secretly led him beyond the public gaze, and ‘by the influence of kind persuasions ~and impressive - ceremonies and lectures, induced him to return to the - paths of sobriety and virtue, thus, re: storing to a wretched, starving family a sober husband and father. We say these must also come in for a share of their malice. These have also —in their estimation —entered into “a league with the devil and a covenant, ‘with hell.” These are also marked and pointed out as “enemies of the government and of the church.” The holy bread and wine must also be snatched from the lips of these ‘and they ignominiously hurled from the church and assigned their portion with hypocrites and unbelievers, there to remain until they shall come beforé these only true embassadors of Christ(!) “with their hands upon their mouths, and their mouths in- the dust,™and confess these their heinous: ‘crimes. ~ Again, members of the Grange, and of evety other organization, who choose to meet in secret, are’ objects of the'veéngeance of their de‘stroying agents. ' Not even outside’ tolerants (“jacks”) of such sociéties are to escape. But not even here do they stop. Methodist, Presbyterian, ‘Baptist, and“all other churches, }who “do not eject from their midst all memlbem of secret societies, and place at their doors fiery, flaming swords to prevent their entrance, -are also objects of their hatred and abuse. These, are still “in the gall of bitterness and in'the bonds of iniquity. These are still in league with Satan and his emmissaries. In the estimation of these worthies, there is probably a “jubilee in ‘hell every time the General Assembly' meets™ ‘=o 4 DI (iR _The great body of Methodist ministers—im. their estimation—are still denying their Savior—still “Giving quarter to Abadon’s troops,” and all but a few of the other churches are in the same woeful predicament: All these,must be:speedily réformed or crushed in the arms of their jauger- .

They do n’t propose to ‘catch the Erymanthian Boar of Odd Fellowship in their own net—to kill with their own unaided arrows-the Stymphalian Birds of other secret so- | cieties, which. they are startling with “their rattle,” or to cleanse the Augean Stables—the Church—of the accumulated corruption of more than a centu-ry-past, by their own unaided efforts; but, Prometheus like, they profess to have stolen from heaven the fire with which they expect-to be able te utterly destroy all of these great evils Their “trust is in God,” they claim. “Trust in God,” is a glorious motto ‘in any great and ‘laudable undertaking, when sincerely placed; but such is the incredulity of many of us poor, blind mortals, that we cannotalways trust professions unless their 'E,inberﬁy is made manifest by their works. " Too often have. the human race been deceived by such professions ‘when received unchallenged.
