I was ren dered miserable, through having been made a free mason, with the terror of carrying about with me so tremendous a secret. I felt that I was fated to be thie unhappy wretch who should betray that which had been held sacred by multitudes for more than a thousand years. Nor was the idea altogether without grounds; for to so great a pitch of neryousness had 1 arrived, that 1 was continually whispering the matter con- fidentially to myself, and then, in the be- lief that I hadispoken aloud, looking horror- stricken arg me ; or, not seldom, I would write it down upon slips of paper, which I them into the fire, or devoured them. Ounce, however, when engaged iu this practice, a high wid, coming i at the open window, red these interesting disclo- sures in every direction, and drove me as nearly mad @s a sane man could go.

There was lying somewhere, patént to the first passerby, an explicit solution of the whole art of free- fuwsonary in my own peculiar and well- known handwriting. This thought, which was of a nature to make the most stolid anvious, excited me to frenzy. I went about demanding of my fellow creature whether they had seen a small piece of paper in the air lately. «What paper? What was on it? in quired they. What was it, indeed?

The one is to be delivered to your friend the Provincial Grand at once if any= thing should happen to me, and the other to the mayor of this town. The law will therefore hang you upon strong gircumstan- tial evidence, unless the brotherhood put you tp death beforehand by some more ter- 1ible method.

And then--with his nose, and knees, and elbows, ling to the orthod y s0 often practised by me in secret--he made, to my astonishment, the i sign. «You must know, my dear fellow,' added he, 'that [ have been a mason myself these ten years ; and as for your revelations dur- ing sleopy they consisted of nothing beyond snoring." ET security of the ostrich eggs; and he instead of taking the Provincial Grand into custody, pointed to thaw collar of his own uniform, upon which, in place of a number, was emblazoned the fatal triangle which pro- claimed the Peeler to be a Deputy Grand Arch himself. My state of mind became at length so unsupportable, that I was obliged to take a friend into my confidence. I did not, of course, confide to him the secret, but I told him of the anxiety which was continually consuming me regarding it. ¢ Well," said Jones, after having listened patiently to the sad recital--he was a very well-meaning young man, only rather vola- tile--¢1 have a plan which; I think will benefit you: for your sake--although I know the whole thing is nonsense--I am ready to become a free mason myeelf ; then, you see, you will havé a confident--a being in whom you may repose your trouble.-- We will retire together for an hour or so every day into some lonely spot--down the well, or up the chimney, or into the House of Lords white they are despatching busi- ness--and there we will converse about this secret, if there fea secret, and relieve your mind." ' This project transported me with joy and gratitude. I made the necessary arrange- ments. with the officials in our lodge for Jones' admission, without, of course men- tioning my particular reason for getting it done, and he came down to my house from London upon the evening preceding his in- stallation. I had been usetul to Jones more than once in the way of lending him a little money when he was hard up,and I was therefore not surprised when, as we were sitting together, after dinner over our wine, he req 1 of me a temporary loun of a ten pound note. However, as there was a small account already between us, moved as an amend- ment that the di be decreased by one half, to which, after a slight discussion, my friend acceeded, and retired to rest ap- parently satisfied, with a five-pound note of et eet The Human Figure, strictly mathematical. the form be slender or plump, this rule holds good. Any deviation from it is a departure from thie highest beauty of propettion. The Greeks made all their statues according to this rule. The face, from the highest point on the forehead, where the hair begins, to the chin, is one tenth of the whole statue.-- Thé hand, from the wrist to t+ middle fin- ger, is the same. The chest is one fourth and from the nipple to the top of the head is the same. From the top of the chest to the highest point of the forehead is a seventh. If the length of the face, from the roots of the hair to the chin, be divided into three equal parts, the first division determines the place where the eycbrows meet, and the second the place of the nostrils. The height from the feet to the top of the head is the same as the distance from the extremity of the fingers when the arms are extended. ee Crigin of the God Hymen. Danchet, the French poet, tells us that Hymen was a, young man of Athens, ob- seurely born, but extremely handsome.-- Falling in love with a lady of rank, he d guised himself in female attire, the better to carry on his amour j and, as he was one day on the seashore celebrating the Eleusinian rites with his mistress and her female com- panions, a gang of pirates came upon'them by surprise, and carried them off to a distant island, where the pirates got drunk for joy, and fell asleep. Hymen then armed the virging, and despatched the sleeping pi- rates ; when, leaving the two women upon the island, he sped to Athens, told his ad- venture; and demanded his beloved in mar- riage as her ransom. His request was granted ; and so fortunate was the marriage, that the name of Hymen was ever after in- voked on all future nuptials 3 and in progress of time the Greeks enrolled him among their gods.
