Leave things of the future to fate;
Whats the use to anticipate sorrow 7
Life’s troubles come never too late!
If to hope over much be an error,
Tis one that the wise have preferred ;
And how often have hearts been in terror
Over evils that never occurred,

Mave faith, and thy faith shall sustain thee ;
Permit not suspicion aud care

With invisible bonds to enchuin thee,
But bear what God gives thee to bear,

by this spirit supported and yladdened,

Be ne‘er by forebodings deferr'd ;

But think how hearts |
By things that neyer occurrred.

Let to-morrow take cure of tomorrow ;
Short and dark as enr hfe may appear,
We may make it’still durker by sorrow,—

Siill shorter by sorrow and fea
Half our troubles ave half our invention,
And often from blessings conferred
Have we shrunk in the wild apprehension
Of evils that never occurred?

ALICH EVANS.
OR, THE MISER’S BEQUEST,

Concluded.

Time passed, and everything went on
asusunl. The rent was punetually paid.
Alice wont one morning to carry the quar-
terly payment to Close. nnd found him
looking very pale and hag

“You are not well,” said she.

“No,” replied he, ‘ Ihave been ailing
some time.”

«Can Ido anything for you, sir? Shall
T call a doctor?”

«A doctor? no, child, that would costa
dollar,” svid the miser.

Just then he was seized with a violent
pain, Alice quiekened the fire, and ran
home to get something: for his relief, She
soon came back with hot tea and bread;
she toasted the bread, and made him as
comfortable as possible.

“Til come in to-night, and see how you |
re,” said: she.

“Thank you!?

. The word came hard, as if he was not
in the habit of using i

Alice went that night, and every night
alter till the old man was cons ably
better; she felt she had hut done her duty,
and thought of no reward,

Three years passed, and Alice was 1
young lady, with a fiee fair to look upon,
and manners of equal grace. Daring the
three years her mothey: th had been
eradually failing, and required much of
hor time and attention. She supported |
her mother aud herself by doing the wash-
ing that her mother fermerly had done.
She had head regularly from Robert Grey,

‘Robert. an hour ago I did not think
I could ever be happy again. If you will
take me, grief-stricken as Lam, 1 will be
yours.”

“T will, my darling; and God grant
that I may be tender and true to my pre-
cious treasure.’

Hearing of Alice’s approaching mar-
riage, a lady for whom Mrs, Evans hid
sewed, sent Alice a note containing her
good wishes and twenty dollars, which
she urged her to accept, Soon after Alice
called upon Closetist, to pay him the rent
due, and inform him that she would give
up the tenement. To her surprise the
miser refused to take the money, and ask-
ed her, in a kinder tone than was his wont,
what were her plans for the future Blush-
ingly, Alice told him, and begged that he
would take his just due. He could not be
prevailed upon, giving as iw reason that
she nad met wiia great trouble and that
he had not forgotten her kindness to him
when he was ill, Alice thanked him, and
took her departure,

Very quietly she took upon herself the
marriage vows, and Robert Grey carried
her to his distant home with a proud heart,
IIe had succeeded well, and liad risen to
a place of importance in the house which
he entered but a few vears before,

About two years alter their marriage,
talking of things past and gone, Robert
asked his wife what beeame of the old
miser whose shoes she picked up in the
alley one afternoon, — Alice related to him
all she knew, not omitting his list aetand
expressed her wonder at his sudden kind:
ness.

“But did you not hear the bell ring?”

He went to the door, and returned with
a letter directed to ‘Mrs, Robert Grey,”
in acramped hand, On opening tt Alice
read the following words :-

* You will doubtless be surprised at the
contents of this letter, Before it meets your
gaze the hand that writes if will be cold
in death. You remember ‘Miser Close-
fist,’ as the people called him? Do not
shrink when he tells you that he is your
own uncle—your mother’s brother, Tbinay
be that you will shrink sand pity more
when I tell you the cause of Lis blighted
lite.

7, Benjamin Clarke, was once as light-
hearted a child as you was when you pick
ed up the old slipper in the alley five yoru
ago. I rose to manhood; they said I ge
promise of a happy, & prosperous future.
L loved, as faithfully and devotedly us
your husband loves you. Tbe object of
my love deceived me, and married onc |
unworthy of her, Smarting under this}
bitter disappointment I left the place in
search of happiness, and after an absence
of many years T returned to find my father
and mother dead, and my only sister mar
ried, to whom I could not ascertain, nor
could anyone tell me of her whereabouts. |

“What wonder that I grew hardened
and the wretch you found mie? T became |
at once a crabbed, avaricious man, With)
my years grew my passion for gain, nnd |
thus it was that I ieceived the appellation
of Closefist. which I justly merited,

obliged to summon a physic
thei that with strict atte
nursing she might recover; and after an
illness of some weeks she was able to. sit
up.

Alice’s moans had grown very slender
in consequence of the expenses attendant
upon her motheu's sickness, and she found
that she had not the money to meet the

quarterly payment to Closefist. She
thought, as they had always been +o

punciual, that he would excus
onee, and hoped in a tew days to have the
required sum. Before she could obtain it
the miser called and demanded his due.
Alice explained to him the cause of her
delay, and begged fora few days, With
much grumbling he consented to give
them «© week longer, Before the time
had expired Mrs, Evans’ disease took an
alarming form, and Alice was motherless

On the day appointed, Closefist: made
his appearance and asked for the rent, He
had not heard of Alice’s bereavement.

“O sir,” said Alice, “I wish it was in
my power to pay you; but you must know
how Lam nev situated.”

worn by operative masons, to preserve
their garments trom spotor stain. But
We, as speculative masons, use it for «
more noble purpose. By the whiteness of
its color, and the innocence of the animal
from which it is obtained, we are admon-
ished to preserve that blameless purity of
life and conduct which will alone enable
us hereafter to. present. onrselves before
the Grand Master of the Universe, unstain-
ed with sin and unsullied with vice,

Investiture constituted an important part
of the Ancient Mysteries; and as the white
apron is the investiture of masonry, we
find something resembling it in all the pas
gan The Esseniaus clothed thei
candidate with a white robe, reaching to
the ground, and bordered with a fringe of
blue viband, as an emblem of holiness. In
the myster of Greece the garment of

o, White i color most neceptable to
the gods, ‘This robe was considered sacred,
and never taken olf by the possessor until

of Mithras, the robes of investiture were
the Girdle, on which we depicted the
signs of the Zodiac; the ray the White
Apron; and the Purple ‘Tunic. In the
mysteries of Hindostan, the aspirant wis
presented with a consecrated Sash, con-
sisting of a cord of ning threads, which was
worn trom the left shoulder to the right
side, An apron, composed of the three
masonic colours—blue, purple and. sears
‘let—was worn by the Jewish priesthvod ;
and the prophets, on all occasions, wheu
about to perform any solemn duty, invest-
ed themselves with a girdle or apron.
Lastly, all the ancient statues of the heathen
gods, which haye been discovered in
Greece, Asia, or America, are decorated
with superb aprons. We hence deduce
the antiquily and honour of this important
part of Precmason’s vestinents, and sabe
stantiate the correctness oi our claim, that
it is ** more aneient than the Golden Fleece
or Rom n Eagle, and more honorable thin

The masonic apron is a pure white lamb-

and from twelve to fourteen deep, with 1
fallabout three to four inches deep; square
