tion, and then tell mo who threw the first hrick; who sundered .the respectable tic, and the respOct of these respectable individuals? I say, consider particularly every particular; particle of the following 'particulars, and then answer, if joa dart. On th6 evening of the 19th of December, 18o4,1 accompanied Alt. Fintchor of this place to the rooms,of the KnowNothings. The object of our visit was my initiation into said Know-Nothing Lodge, of width Air. Fintchcr was a member. Afbr going llirough a dark entry, and up a number of (tight of stairs equally os dark, we saw a small luminous hole about the sire of a ‘saucer. Hero Air. Fmtcher requested me to wait a mo-' merit until he wont and worked iu at that hole. After he'had fingered about it a while, I spoke and said: “Brother Fintchor, you can’t get in at that hole —how foolhh!” ■

ing slyly towards me, Tho truth was ray recent fright dul hot exactly fit me for what I was about. I endeavored however to shake of these feelings and advar.ee> as I presumed m)* conduct was watched. Tho dim light of the open door behind me served ns a guide to my course; I had proceeded hut a few steps further when my worst fears seemed to be realized; a terrific yell was the first warning, and tho next second I was prostrated foil length npon tho floor under a blow that made the whole building tremble. Again all was silent and still; I saw nothing and felt nothing; 1 could not find that I was bruised any or had been touched except by my fall npon the floor. . After a little consideration I discovered that tho noise was occasioned by the ponderous door I being pushed too with violence. I gathered myself up speedily, my logs trembled, and I felt vexed at my foolishness. Now, said I fo myself, I a\n not going to stir a peg farther; if they want me they may come andlcad me, or else bring a light; as for my endangering my life for the sake of hc'hg a Know Nothing, I shan’t do it. After the' laps'd of a few moments, I was startled by a sepulchral voice in the room, Which said: "Jihh i« doubt and uncertainty should seek counsel of heaven.” I turned round and saw a little crooked Line flame that flickered at some distance from me; it did’nt give any light and remained steadily in one place. I looked at it some time, and did’nt exactly like its appearance; hoWeVer I concluded that there was’nt anything supernatural about it, and that I had better go and examine it. It proved to bo a glass serpent suspended upon a pole which stood upon a table; tho flame passed through its body and calno out at its month. While I was feeling round it a priest with a bald-head aud long white board suddenly raised, his head from the table, 1 started hack a few steps and was looking for a place by which I could escape from the haunted room when the old men spoke as follows; “Stranger, yon have thus far approached with safety through our mystic rites. But let me warn yon that what is before you this evening demands that you meet it Willi thar preparedness of heart which will fit you for r.ny result. Let me therefore entreat you to devote a few moments to stdf-nxa mi nation and holy purposes; such are tho means best adapted to procure you that firmness and resolution yon will need. As to the result of that which is to follow, it is very uncertain; I would again admonish yon to be fully prepared. But I need not inform you that it is our sincere hope that' these at this lime, may prove premature; in order that they may bo so, let that which you arc about to do be earnest aud sincere; for want of such pre-requisites, many alas! who have sought admission to these mys lie chamber?, though warned as yon have been how warned, have fallen—ah! how miserably fnltciu” . The old mail here dropped his head add covered Ins face with Ids hands, and ths next moment I heard sighs aud groans and half-stifled sobs in every part of tho room. The old man sank down into his chair. A strange humming then caught my car; n small bell in the room then struck one, and then in the center of the tooth, standing on its chd, was the appearance of a coffin. It was illuminated round the edges through a largo number of small holes, which resembled .brass nails, and iu the center was a plato on which I road, widen kind of chilly feeling in my chest, the following inscrip- 1 tion; “I, L. Thompson, aged 25 years, died December 19, 1854.-—‘The man that 'wandered* Out of tho Way of understanding shall remain in tho congregation of the dead.’ Proverbs 12: 16.” There was now a deadly silence, which continued some minutes, and. was only interrupted by an occasional, suppressed sob in tho room, and the continued tolling of die bell which now sounded muffled and distant. Everything was so dismal and gloomy that it worked considerably upon my feelings,.and I felt sensibly that there miyht something happen even by accident; so I commenced repeating the Lord’s Prayer, but as I could’nt remember all of it, I filled out with one of the ten commandments.

to follow, lie lead nie directly across the room though another door which opened into a room which was brilliantly illuminated. In tho center of this wo stopped, Wheh tho Grand Master arose and addressed Inc in the following words: "Brother, yon have now gained admission into onr mystic order, and it becomes my duty to fort her instruct and admonish yon in regard to your deportment and conduct. I will now put yon in possession of the password, which will admit you into tho Lodge. "When you come to the outer portal which is distinguished hy the luminous hole which you Hrat saw on coming np the staira this evening, yon must turn yonr back to it, bow yourself horizontally, rest your hands upon your knees, and then strike the door three times with your- foot, then turn round, put yonr month dose to lire hole and whisper: ' A sieve full of sifted thistles ahd a sieve full of unsifted thistles, Mr. Thistle-sifter,’ If yon can repeat those words three times, rapidly without mistake, yon will bo immediatelyadmitted, i You arc not to give this password .to any one except tbc Guide at the enter, portal; if you do you arc guilty of treason, and your tongue r;ill pay the forfeit; and if you reveal any of the mystic rites through which you have yonr death will be the consequence. . Brother Thompson, you arc now dismissal with honor, and tho worthy Guido will show you tho proper egress.” The Grand Master then strtldiCd himself back on" Ids' scat, and began to start wildly; then ’ turning, his face rapidly from one side to the other side of. the room, hi? cheeks, and. eyes meanwhile tilling aud distending, said finally, with a force and suddenness that made me start— 1 "Bxtsz **- Tho word was caught up hy tho ? members and. passed rapidly fiplu to month, until the whole room was filled with the sound.

until her strength was well nigh exhausted, without making much impression; unlit a little fellow who stood hy enjoying the fun, understanding bettor where the weakness of the monster lay, ran np and turned it on end, when n few blows on the head laid it low, and the cask gave forth "an empty sound,*'

A mim* her of queer looking fellows were standing about, hut without stopping or speaking \\t passed over to n long and somewhat narrow and dimly lighted passage. We entered this and proceeded cautiously a little way. A Savage looking fellow, dressed like a Turk, sprang into the passage ahead, aud coming towards us with ft creeping, cat-like step, with his hand upon his swonl, said in a low and muttering voice th.it sent a chili through me: “lie that would penetrate and break through the sacred boundaries, of KnowNothings unhidden, let irtrnitor’s laurels blossom on his brow,” With that he drew a crooked swonl that flashed like lightning, and nourishing it three or four times over his head, made a jump ftt me. I closed my eyes involuntarily, ami for a moment thought the top of my head Was off; but brother Fintchcr caught his tmn, and when I opened my eyes again he was down on his knees before the savage. "Nay, most zealous vigilance,” said Brother Fintchcr; “ this stranger is n pilgrim from the deserts of political selfishness, and now desires through ponnnnee of tins illustrious lodge to lest tho fruit of Ivnow-Nolliingiam.”

I told him I thought I could. Let ns hear, said ho* stopping himself and also stopping - the oth 1 ers, as ho seemed vcry- doubtfnl of the state of my reccolleetivc fkcuUifai I thought I would try and convince him that I knew what I.was about, as clearly as ho or any other man who had gone through the rubs as I had. Wo reached tho head of the stairs where we stopped. I was fearful that I cOuld not pronounce the word very distinctly; however I begun slowly and carefully: “A sieve full of cisted sifllcs and. a’ 1 —“Faithless traitor! to the inquisition with him, 1 ’said the person who had questioned me. - He immediately made a grab at me and in en ; dcavoring to get out of his reach, I slipt and fell headlong down the stairs; with a yell ho sprang after me. Fear gave me power; I gathered myself up and darted onward. The darkness ofthe passage aided me to evade my adversaries. I soon gained an opening which ns good fortune would have it, proved to open into the, street; once into the street I had no more fear and made good my way home. Respectability, thought I; and is. this tho mighty service to society which this institiou renders? Is this tho way in Which they better ones condition and tho condition of society?

“Has ho counted the'cost of Midi ft gratification,” said the savage, beginning to replace his sword. “He is fully determined to proceed at ■all cost and hazard, the Lord being Ids nelpcr.” " Then Ittdiim proceed,” said the oth* cr, giving his sword a tremendous slap into hfs scabbard, and marched away with considerable of a swagger. A mclnncholly bell now began to loll, and at the same time two figures in long robes and bearing each a torch, entered at opposite doors at the farther end of the passage, their heads covered with white hoods, and attached to them were broad white capos, which covered their shoulders. They carried their torches high and came forward with a slow and measured pace, their heads dropped and their right hands upon their breasts. Alter passing us a few steps they wheeled and came together in front of ns and motioned us lb follow.

Editor— Sm; A few evenings since I called on my friend, who for the present I shall call Thompson. *1 found him sitting in his oouhUng-itora, quietly smoking'a regalia,' After interchanging the usual salutations of the day, the conversation turned upon the subject of KnowXolhingiim. He bitterly dououuced them, when I remarked that some of bur most respectable men belonged to this celebrated organization. “Respectable,” exclaimed he; “you 'don't know anything about them, aml-if yon will only listen, ! will try and cndighten.your mind oa the subject. You : nrc perhaps h6t aware that ! once belonged to this respectable society of I Kndw'-Xathings, and I will give you a t'fight tskclcn of my initiation into that famous order.”

Two Little .Ones. — Two little girls, one rejoicing in bine ribbons, (bo other in were Ujjv.ailtng their, domes tic 'miaTortancs in mocV maternal language. "iWhcre is your dolly? 1 asked pink ribbons of t licr little neighbor. . "Dear me, did’nt I tell-yon?’'answered, blue/ "shoV got the measles dreadful. Her faccis spotted nil over." . “I diil'iit think she’s as sick as wy dolly," said pink; "only think I’ve had a constitution of thirty doctors for her and they, all did’rit do her any good. I’Ve had t6 buy her a new gown, she’s so miserable” (not'the first misery a new gown has brightened np) "she’s got consumption."

We now passed from this hall to a passage which led us to a door covered with crape, which paseago was lighted, with the exception of our torches, by a single taper placed m u skull over the door. The gloominess of the ally was considerably lightened by the continued tolling of the bell. On arriving at the door which terminated tho passage, I discovered a large device wrought upon the crape. It Was a figure of a man tvith a sword run through, him. t)n llic blade of the sword were the words—'■Death to spies or traitors.” The torch bearers now lowered their torches near the floor, and gave three distinct. raps upon the door with their fists. This was answered presently from within by a rushing noiso accompanied by a howling like the rising wind that increased until there was a general clatter through the whole house, and then something like a clap of thunder, when the door flew open and a blast of air blew out the torches and left us in total darkness. I felt my hair rise on my head. Somebody now whispered in my,ear: “Go in, bo firm, do what they tell you, and all will bo well, I hope.” Tho room was pitch dark and as cold and silent as the tomb. After I groped my way a little disUmcb! stopped; X'could’nt seem to get on, nml yet there did’nt seem to be anyth tog in the way/..-! heard something, and yet I can’t exactly say that I did hear anything, tho’ there was something that somehow or other reminded me of a wild beast creeps

. “0! that’s .dreadful bad, does site cough ranch 1” with an air of . great solicitude. “All the lime—and"keOps me awake so ranch of nights.” * But why don’t yon take her out; the air. will be good for her lungs.’.' ' “01, dear,” exclaimed pihjc ribbons, with admirably assumed intensity of feeling, “my dolly hasn’t got a bit of lungs, she only brodhes through her nose,” Thiswastho climax; who could help laughing. .

I expressed my sincere desire to hear it, and be quietly knocked the ashes from the end of bis cigar, and proceeded os follows ’ ’There is a certain degree of respect dne ;to every man, I admit,, who conducts himself as a respectable man ought to conduct himself.' Then, again it is tnio, .there is a certain degree of respect that every respectable man owes to every other respectable body of men with whom .he may be associated. The tic is natu> ,ral. Bet when such a respectable body ,of men voluntarily and unprovoked!)* sunder the respectable tie that binds them to any individual, then that individual does not respect his own respectability in ceasing to respect the respect which that respectable body claims of him. This is a good argument, is it not? -For instance, hero's myself in the place of tho respectable individual—theseKnow-Nolh-ings tbe respectable body of men. Now listen to these disclosures of my ini tin-
