The " Level and the Square" was written by Bro. Morris, in 1S54, and was first introduced to the public by Bro. Henry O. Deming, Mem ber of Congress from Hartford Conn., as an appendage to a toast at a banquet at Hart ford, Sept., 1856. We meet upon the Level and we part upon the Square : What words of precious meaning these words Masonic are! Come let us contemplate them, they are worthy of a thought In the very soul of Masonry these precious words are wrought. We meet upon the Level, though from every station come; The rich man from his mansion and the poor man from his home; For the one must leave his wealth and state outside the Mason's door, And the other tinds his true respect upen the checkered floor. We part upon the Square, for the world must have its due ; We mingle with the multitude, a cold, un friend ly crew, But the liiliueuce of our gatherings in memT ory is green, And we look upon the Level to renew the happy scene. There's a world w here all are equal we are hurrying toward it fast ; We shall meet upon the Level there, when the gates of death are past ; We shall stand before the Orient, and our Master will be there, To try the blocks we offer by His own uner ring Square. We shall meet upon the Level there, but never thence depart : There's a Mansion 'tis all readv for each trusting, faithful heart ; There's a Mansion and a welcome and a multitude is there, Who have met upon the level and been tried upon the Square. Let us meet upon the Level, while laboring patient here ; Let us meet and let us labor, though the labor be severe ; Already in the Western sky the signs bid us prepare, To rather up our Working Tools and part upon the Square. Hands around, ye faithful Masons, iorm the bright Iraternal cnaiu. We part upon the Square below to meet in heaven again. Oh! what words of precious meaning these words Masonic are We meet upon the Level and we part upon the Square. The late Philip , Tucker, when Grand Master of Vermont, JS"6, said : When I heard Bro. H. C. Deming read these lines at the Hartford banquet? I was not quite sure that his splendid manner and enunciation had not deceived me as to their real value. When I saw them in print I read them fifty times over -.with great care, studied the thoughts, and became gloriously satistied that it was not Bro. Deming's tine reading which had captivated me, but the sentiments of the beautiful lines themselves. A few days since, 1 dedicated a.rvevy Lodge room at Bichmond, Yt., and took it into my head thatrif, near the close of our ceremo nies, I were to recite those lines well, it might have a good effect ; so I ventured to do it, and I never saw such an effect pro duced upon an audience by such means. When I got to the lines, 'Already in tte tveetcrn slrj the signs bid us ' prepare To gather up our Working Tools and part upon the Square,' the Masons were either pale cr crying ; and ihose who were not Masons, women and all, had an expression of intense thought upon their countenances, snch as I never before saw upon the faces of men or women. I- have no idea of offering flattery or incense, when I say that as a pure matter of Masonic feeling, nothing.withni 'my knowledge equals it, fro,m tie ivrHmg of Burns' " Adieu" to the present hour. It must pass into our permanent annals, and carry Bro4 Morris's name and heart with it to the ages which are to come after it. Mlsic Br Telegraph. Our friend Levy has otten carried on musical cntertain- meuts with fellow operators oa the State Telegraph JJie and we have been expect ing that some great musical genius would lease the line and give a concert to audi ences in various cities on the same eve ning. It may be done yet. The follow ing is related by the Jacksonville Sentinel: We were sitting in the telegraph office a few evenings since chatting with th.e op erator, 5"hen he suddenly called guf atten tion to an unusual performance of the in struments. There' said'he, " is music. Listen!'' A close -attention to the sounds disclosed the fact that some musical gen tleman was imitating Paginini, and the performance, with a single key and a sin gle string, was excellent. Here came Dixie7' tripping and throbbing over the wire, so correctly that we imagined that we were in l the land of cotton" listening to that popular air. Without disclosing himself, our musical friend responded to the call for Yankee Doodle," as an anti dote to rebel music. Here it came, re minding us of the land of pumpkin pies ana rosy cneekeu uamseis men a gem from " Norma" then the erratic genius " dreamed that he dwelt in marble halls," and told us of the pleasant hours in his "Cottage by the Sea." as plainly and cor rectly as it could have been done on a musical instrument. It was a wonderful performance, and et us to thinkinar how iitlle the world 'realizes of Morse's grand discovery. After interrupting himself to stir the tire, the performer wound up the evening s entertainment with 'Old Grimes, and told us he did not live more than a six months' journey from Yreka.

' . ; It was past midnight, and the bride had already been some time in the nuptial chamber. When the young spouse suc ceeded at last in escaping from his friends and leaving the ball room, he as cended the stairs, upon one of the landing places of which a waiting maid met him and told him to enter. The new husband rapped lightly upon the door, and threw himself at the feet of a woman, who was waiting for him, seated near the fire, in an elegant night dress, such as a rich widow might be expected to wear, wliose desires had been satisfied by a new marriage. "Rise, my - friend,'! said she to her spouse, giving him her vand. " No, no, madam," replied the young man, seizing upon the white hand which he clasped between his own, and carried to his lij,8. Jq, leave me at your feet, and do not withdraw your hand, for I fear lest you may escape me ; I fear that all this is only an illusion ; it seems to me that I am the hero of one of those fairy tales that I used to hear when a child, and that, at the very moment of being happy, the malicious fairy is going to fly away to laugh with her companions at my sorrow and despair." "ie assured, my friend, that yesterday I was Lord Melville's widow ; and, now, sir, I am Madam de la Tour, your wife. Dispel from your imagination your child hood's fairy. That tale is but a fable." Fredrick de la Tour had some reason to suspect that a superior genius interfered with his affairs, for, Ayithin the last month, either chance or inexplicable good fortune had rendered him rich and happy beyond his desires. His age was 25 ; he was an orphan and lived upon an employment in which he was engaged, when passing one day through the street Saint Ilonore a splended coach stopped near him, and an elegantly dressed lady leaned over the carriage door and called out to him, though not by name. The driver descended, let down the foot board, and hat in hand, respectfully in vited Mr. Frederick to be seated bv the side of this woman glittering with jewels. The coachman then drove on. " Sir," said the lady who had thus taken him up ; with a sweet voice. " I have re ceived your letter, but notwithstanding your refusal, I yet hope to see you to morrow at my evening party." " Me, Madam," replied Frederick. ''Yes, sir, you ah ! I beg your pardon," cried the lady, with surprise. " I beg your pardon, sir. tou so much resemble a person of my acquaintance that I took you for him. Ah, sir, excuse What must you thmk ? Indeed the resemblance is so ;triking that any one in the world would be deceived as I have been." Before this explanation was ended, the carriage stopped in the court of a superb mansion, and Mr. Frederick could not but offer his hand to Lady Melville ; he ac cepted, her invitation and in a few days became one of her frequent; visitors. The rljCh "i?id.ow was surrounded by admirers ; but they dropped off one by one, and things were so arranged before a week had rc4lcrd,by, .that the little clerk had Ead3 the wi(Jo,v?, --house .hia home.

He was forced to the conclu- t - sion that he was loved for himself, or else Lady Melville was fascinated. When the marriage was settled, when the future spouse was before the notary, his astonish ment was redoubled. They declared his property to be over a minion, lie oyn ed, according to the contract, a farm in Normandy, a house in Paris, in the street Saint Ilonore, and other real estate which he had never before heard mentioned. The widow was rich in foreign wealths. She had farms in Wales and pastures in Devonshire. All this was to Frederick a golden dream, and he longed to wake from it. The mayor and curate came to sanction the union, but neither the marriage solem nity nor the law was able to dispel his doubts, but he did not leave his wife's feet, but grasped in his hand the embroid- ered muslin of her night dress, through TOU? vour character is upright and elevat fear that the dream would vanish. ed.

Tte -youns man at last obeyed, though uwiUing to release his hold of his wife's hand, and Madame de la Tour commenced as follows : There wa once on a time " " There," said Frederick, so I was pot deceived. It is m truth a fairy tale.'7 "Listen to me. mv friend. There was i once on a time a young gin, uuru ui pa rents who had formerly been wealthy, but who, when 15 year3 of age, had to subsist upon the industry of her father. They resided in Lyons, but some homes of bet ter fortune brought them to Faris. Nothing-is sn difficult as to recover a lost for tune, or to retrain a lost rank. This young e-irl found it so : for four years she strug flcd with miserv without neing auie to vanquish it and her father died in the hospital. -- ' i.iv l ouuu iuuuneu 111c Hus band, and the young girl was left alone in the attic for which the rent vras unpaid. Its only furniture was two beds. If there was a fafry in the tale which I ap relating, this is certainly the moment she. should appear, but there is none in it. This young woman remained in Paris, without friends, without protectors, without aid. ha ring at Lyons debts which she was un ab le to pay, and in vain seeking for labor, the wealth of the poor. Yice, it is true, stretched its arms to her, but there are pure souls that can pass vice without looking at it. er, at least, without suffer ing themselves to be sullied by its breath. " Meanwhile life was necessary, thefhun- ger of the day redoubled at night, and the misery of a night was added to a second day passing without food. You rise from a table groaning under its weight of dain ties, where wine, too, abounds to satisfac tion, and although it is since yesterday, Frederick, that you are rich, you have no idea of the misery I speak of, and you wonder that, in the midst of the luxury that surrounds you, upon this arm chair of gold and silk, where I am sitting, I can paint to you such a picture ; but listen to me further. Hunger led this youn-r cirl to beg. She covered her head with her mother's vail, the only heritage she re ceived ; she inclined her body to imitate age, and went into the street. There she held out her hand. Alas ! that hand was there was danger in white and fair, and showing it 5 that hand was then wrapped by the young girl in the thick cloth of the vail, as if it had been eaten by hideous leprosy. "The poor child took her station against a post, lar on irom the lamp ; when a young man of wealfhy appearance passed by, the unfortunate one would hold out her hand and ask for a sou. A sou to buy a little bread. At Paris young men have something else to do in the evening besides drawing sous from their pockets. If the begging girl saw an old man pass ing she ventured to implore him. Age is often avaricious and hard. The old man passed. The evening had been wet and rainy, night was approaching, and the patrols, the night guards, arid the city serg eants were about to take possession of the streets of Paris, when the young girl, fainting with want, once more held out her hand. She addressed herself to a young man "who stopped, felt in his pocket, and threw her a piece of money, so much did he fear to touch the wretched one. A police officer who was apparently laying in wait for the begging girl ap peared, and laying his hand upon her, he said : Ah, I have you ; you're llpOTrinrr 000 Come along my beauty." t this the man interfered with some nth ; he took the arm of the beggar which a moment before he would not touch with his glove, and turning to the police officer, said : " This woman is not a beggar, but one of my acquaintances." "But. sir," the executor-, of the law against beggary, was going on to say. " I repeat that I am acquainted with the lady. My poor, good woman, ' added he, bending over the ear of the young girl, whom he took for an old woman, " ac cept the hundred sous, and let me conduct you to the neighboring street. By this mean3 you will escape this Cerberus who pursues you." The crown slipped from your hand into mine," .continued the bride, " and as . - il -I 1- ? 1- T we were passing urtuer uie lamp, wnicn x had before avoided, I saw your face." " My face ?" continued Frederick. " Yes, ray- friend, it, wasJ. whose life, and perhaps honor yotf thus saved. You o-ave a crown Vi Lady Melville, to your future wife."

As I looked at Lord Melville, as I saw b'S melancnoiy countenance and his sharp and almost Aveary eye. I said to myself that the step he Avas taking Ava3 nothing else than a jtep of revenge, and I was loth to be the instrument of it. If the noble lord did not receive a refusal he at least perceived it from my agitation, and. like all men, who are only more ardent by a rejection, he redoubled his solicitation.

You were rejected by the young seam stress, and I became Lady Melville." "It was a fairy ta'Ic,"my friend. I, a poor, deserted orphan, was the wife of one of the richest peers in England. Seat ed in ?. carriace loaded down with ser vants', I was able to pass through the streets where I had begged a few months before, and clcihed in glittering silks and diamonds to mark with my eye the curb stones whereon I sat. The sport of chance, the caprices of fortune, the passion of men, iny friend, are the fairies of; this world." Happy Lord Melville" cried Frederick, "he was enabled to enrich you." " He was in truth, very happy," con tinued Madame de la Tour, and "he prov ed to me very clearly that since my incli nations Wer"e honorable,' this marriage, which I looked upon as a very foolish act, was the most reasonable thing in the world. He was rich beyond mjr desires. " He never could expend his income, so he thought -very justly- that gratitude would attach to' him a Woman whos ; for tune he would make. He never repented having married a French woman. " I trusted myself to the noble lord for the care of my fortune, and assisted him in his last days. When he died he left me all bis property, and I then made to 1113'. self an oath never to marry any one ex cept the man who aided me 'in the most miserable moment of my life. " IngrateS" added Madame de la Tour, giving her hand to her husband, who yet came no nearer to her who wished to love and enrich him. But, sir, do you never go into the world? Do you not attend- shows and concerts? Ah! if I had known your name." So saying the new bride detached from her neck a collar of rubies, and drew from a small bag of silk, which was attached to it, a crown of a hundred sous set in gold. (- This is the very one," said she, putting it into Frederick's hands. " At the tsiglit of this crown I was furnished with sufficient bread to support me until the next day, and I also obtained credit for a few hours. The next day things Avere so arranged that I Avas able to presciwq vour crown. It has never left me. " "Ah ! "how happy Avas I Avhen I rpct you about a month ago. With Avhat quickness did I stop my horses ! I leaned over the carriage door and to at tract your attention, seized npon the first pretext which presented itself to r?je. I had but one fear. I feared that you might be married. If that had been the case you Avould have known nothing of this story, and poor Lady Melville would have en riched you in secret, she would haA e re turned to England, where she would have groAvn oia in seclusion at ner castle in Wales." Frederick let go of his wife's hand, he let fall from his grasp the embroidered muslin of her night dress, and he seized the crown, the cause' cf his fortune and happiness.

The follow ing is an extract from a letter dated Grant's Fass, Jackson county, March 21st, and published in the Sentinel : While the excitement is agitating the public mind, respecting the discoveries made in this part of Jackson county, I have concluded to drop you a few lines for pub lication, which 1 believe to be reliable. It has long been known that gold existed on a stream called Jump-olf-Joe, in this county, and occasionally pockets were found that paid very well, but nothing to create any excitement. - Last fall, a Ger man by the name of II. Y"ines started in to prospect the creek higher up than any Avork had been done before ; the result was, that the farther up he went, the bet ter he found the pay, till, at last he con cluded he Avas doing Avell enough, and put him up a cabin, after doing Avhich be Avent to Avork on his claim, which proved, as-1 am credibly informed, to be good ounce diggings. Mr. Wines tried the creek in several places, Avith the same success. In a gulch putting into the main creek,' he Avorked several days with a rocker, Avhich J paid him about live or six dollars per cay. '; Other parties are now taking up claims all I along the creek. Mr. Sexton located, a claim on the creek, below Mr. Wines claim. He sank a small hole to prospect it, and Avashed out, in a pan, one piece that weighed thirteen dollars, and several dol lars in fine gold. Another hole, sunk in another part of the claim, satisfies him that he has good ounce diggings. Hoav exten sive the pay region may be, it is impossi ble to tell, as the creek is several miles long, and there is so much snow on the ground that it prevents any great amount of Avork being doue-at present. The loca tion of this new milling camp, Avhich has already received the name of Wines Camp, is about fifteen miles up the creek from Avh';re the Oregon road crosses Jump-o'f-Jec, ?, Wm. Gibson's.

Speakh gof the navigation of the Tualatin rivr, the Ore con urn of Monday says : Recent developments indicate that the navigation of the Tualatin river is not an enterprise to be derided, but that it will be at least measurably successful. The stream has been cleared of drift so that it is navigable for boats of thirty or forty tons as far as Hillsboro, on one of its branches, and to a point within two and a half miles of Forest Grove on the other. The north fork, it is said, AvilL be cleared of drift so that boats can run to Center ville, some four or five miles above Ilills boro. It is proposed by those Avho are engaged in the enterprise to deliver freight in Portland from any of these points at six dollars per ton. If this can be done, and there seems to be no reason to doubt its practicability, the navigation of the Tualatin will prove of great advan tage to the people Avho occupy the good farming country through which that stream takes its course. Hitherto they have been practically cut off from market for half the A-ear ; but if in the winter season they ean hereafter ship their produce to Portland at the rates above mentioned;, they will find the arrangement highly beneficial to their interests.- That the stream will afford navigation for six or eight months during the year is an established fact.' The en ergy tna demonstrated this in thed'ace of "! . -i - rv -i . r t r i i .. j such great auncuuies is nigniy commend able. During the summer season hauling is comparatively easy from the Plains to Portland : but even then it is difficult enousrh. Transportation for the winter months is a creat des'vhratum, since the occupations of the farmer during the sea son of good roads are such as to leave him little time to haul his produce to market. Tree-Planting. CD In tree planting, as in many other things, the old adage0esi?ia lente, make' haste slowly, is applicable. We mean aa to the size of the trees. Young planters, especially, aim to have blgr fine-looking trees. They think that-to get full grown trees quickly they must plant large ones. It is a great mistake.- An extreme case 0 will illustrate what Ave wisf? to impress upon our readers. . A friend of ours, with a Aery commendable- desire to have a plantation of grown-up trees to adorn a site for building, incurred great expense in moving those of full size.' With all the facilities he could command and the ut-. most care he could use he s-jccqededdSl saving the life of one indifferent specimen. This, Aye say was an extreme case, but we may be assured that the obstacles here, met Avith are only in less degrees as we go - down the scale of size and age. -Those which are the freest from them are the smallest and ycungest. Our object must ' be to get them at such a stage of growth as will give as much size as is consistent Avith the preservation of the ropts in th?ir removal and the preservation; of the .nat ural growth of branches. If roots are de stroyed in moving there must, be. a cor-, responding cutting-Sack of branches,, which, unless done Avith great discretion,'' is destructive of the natural symmetry of the tree, while there is nothing gained in, point of time. The . folly of planting tall stems of tAvelje or fifteen feet, limbless and rootless almost, must be . apparent. We. must be content, to ti"ks young trees from their place; of growth when they are so. small as to feel but little. f ho chang) and, giving them the best possible chance, by careful planting in ground well pfepared. in advance, Ave may soon enjoy, .'-.if -'not large trees, at least sucli as are vigorously' and rapidly developing both beauty and utility. There is a pleasure to be derived from healthy young trees Avhich is not toO lie overlooked because it does not nj.4 vtp to the measure of the advantage's ''We" look for in their maturity. The following is a plea for small trees, which we cannot do better than to append to these remarks: " AVe beg a little consideration for ?mall trees. Go to the open field or to thenur sery and select a good specimen of almost any good tree say the ,beech, or maple, tulip, or hemlock..'. Take one or mow of each, three or four., feet. high, that haVo branches well forced Oh each side. Save all the roots and fibres in digging them up. and in carrying them home don't banr them to pieces, root and branch, but treat them with the utmost tenderness. Pre pare large holes in rich soil, and set them out, so they will groAV vigorously. Clip the ends of the branches just a little, butr do this so as to .preserve the original symmetry-, .Jsow,. watch these trees from year to yeor. How healthy they look in every limb and twig and leaf. How happyjthey look, shooting out their branches on every side and dancing- in every breeze. How graceful in .every part and as a Avhole. Small ps they are, they are perfect in form, and plainly predict what they aa ill be when full groAvn. Age will only enlarge Qieir bulk; and brjng them nearerCthe time of their decay. . s !'J He Avho setf out large trees is compelled to top off at least the loAver branches 16 enable the top ones to liA'e. The roots are so mutilated in digging them up that nearly all the branches have to be trimmed up and shortened in order to restore thoi balance of things. But such a tree, so marred in root ad branch, is only half a tree. It is a fragment to Avhich the lost parts can never be restored. Begin, then, with small trees. How they enjoy life! They Avill, ere long, outstrip the large stumps you set out at the same time, get tfcem on your laAvn and pleasure ground. Throw.-away your pruning-saAv and let them work on-t th.eir own ideal If "you interfere at all. let it be only "i. itii ihumb and finger. -.-Never' 5arV their waa ton Avays. They v, ill idtaiu". near .fc'per fection if you will only let Avell alone." ' Coos County. Fren?; a lettcr nublished in the Advocate we obtain the fojiowigg in regard to Coos county : 0 Empire City is a prettyHittle.. Seaport town, situated on the south side of Coos Bay, about four miles east of its mouth. It isquite a thriving toAvn ; has three stores, two saloons, and three hotels. The county of which Empire City is the county seat, consists of Coos : river valley, which is settled twelve miles above its mouth, and Coquille river valley which is settled for seventy milea from Avhere the river empties into the iOcean- There are tAvo large saw mills on the bay, which employ from twenty-five to thirty 'hands each, be sides many fhoi are employed in rafting O and cutting logs to supply the mills. The tAvo valleys; alluded to are being settled up fart and the large trees are made to feel the woodman's axe, that room mav be made lor the cultivation of the rich soil. Randolph is another place of some import ance. It is situated near the mouth of the Coquille riA-er. There are some good mines here. There i()a report that new diggings have been discovered near by, but I shall not place implicit confidence in it until confirmed bymore thorough in vestigation. The Coquille river is navi gated by one small vessel, of forty tons, and it is reported that another will be put ' on. to ply between its mouth nd San Francisco, next summer. : " " .
