Random Notes And Reflections.

RANDOM NOTES AND REFLECTIONS .

AMERICA affords some striking instances of the opportunities the country gives to men who honestly and ardently labour to rise to distinction . Here is an interesting case in point . Brother Cornelius Moore was born in 1806 , on the bank of the Delaware river . Until sixteen years of age he resided on a farm , and was

then apprenticed to a blacksmith , until he was twenty-one . In his leisure he cultivated his mind and qualified himself for the post of teacher , which he filled at Zauesville , Ohio . While there , he studied the law , and was admitted to the bar . While practising his profession in 1844 ! , he

contracted a disease of the throat and had to desist from public speaking . In 1845 , having relinquished his profession , he removed to Cincinnati , and there began the publication of the Masonic Beview , which he continued to edit until 1876 . The war in 1861-65 ruined his business

and reduced him to poverty . The bitterness of this fact lies in the recollection that when Brother Moore died there were nearly thirty thousand dollars due to him for

subscriptions to the Masonio Review , which have never been collected . A more glaring case of injustice has never come under our notice , although we know full well the difBoultieu attending Maiiouic journalism . Brother Moore
