Masonic Sayings And Doings Abroad.
From Iowa we learn that some years back the brethren of Pine Bluff got up a grand enterprise of erecting a home for the destitute widows of Masons , and had Bro . English , the Grand Master , down to lay the foundation stone , and deliver an oration on the
occasion . Much enthusiasm prevailed . The contributions poured in , ancl the house was built ; but the kind-hearted and zealous projector of the enterprise utterly failed to 2 > ersuade a solitary Mason ' s widow to go and make it her home , and the house was converted into an academy .
The new editor of the JSfew York Despatch says , " In the erection of a Masonic Hall the labour has been long aud earnest , and the Grand Architect will not suffer the great enterprise to fail . " With such men as Gibson , Simons , Austin , and others , in New York it will not fail . And , when complete , what an Asylum Fund . "
In an abstract of the report of the Grand Cominandery of New York , the Masonic Trowel makes the following remarks : — " A distinguished man—who bore sneers and obloquy as did Fulton , patiently , that he might reach the great consummation his brain conceived—was the first Grand Commander in New Tork
"When the yellow fever broke out in New Tork city he was Mayor , and while ministers forsook their altars and physicians fled from their patients , he remained at his post , visiting the victims everywhere , preserving order , ministering to the sick , imparting spiritual comfort to the dying , assisting the
convalescent , and burying tbe dead . This great man , full of humanity , generous aud patriotic , conceived the idea of the Erie Canal , and , in spite of active aud formidable opposition , never wavered until it was completed . This idea was greatly aided by his commanding
influence as Governor . By his prescience communication was opened whereby millions upon millions now populating the mighty centre of North Americathe Great " West—found a highway . This man of genius , nerve , and moral courage was De Witt
Clinton . The men who opposed him have conceded his merit—those who traduced him now defend him . But while his ' works praise him '—while he , ' being dead , yet speaketh '—there are not wanting traducers to blacken his memory , ghouls to feast upon his body ,
resurrectionists to find what never existed , and scavengers to hunt for forgeries and lies . It is now alleged that De Witt Clinton advised or consented to murder in the ease of Morgan . Every public man of that day now living knows that such a thing is a sheer impossibilit The executive never ruled that
y . administered the law with more steadiness and impartiality than De Witt Clinton . Let the birds of foul omen bring forth their ghostly and satanic wares ; it it will be the means of giving their real animus and character to the world . ''
