After geing a distance of several blocks, they stopped before a house, over the door of which: was 4 handsome, ornamental -gas lamp, bearing the words, ''Oysters and Refreshments." It was a strange place for two fit. Lie girls to enter, and at such an hour, but after standing for a moment, they pushed against the fcreen door, which turned lightly apoo its hinges, and stepped into a large and brilliantly lighted Darkroom. - . t "IJless tuf exclaimed a man wha sat reading.

And the children's faces brightened "Yes; he's at the other side of the room asleep I,!! wake him for you." Half intoxicated, and sound asleep, it was with difficnlty that Mr. Freeman could be aroused. As Boon, however, as hia eyes srere fairly open-ed, and he fonnp VljAt Ady,and Jane had each grasped one of his hands, he arose, and yielding passively to thevr direction suffered them to lead him away. . , . . .

God bless the little ones," he added with emotion, and give "them a sober father "I gues you never saw them before,' said one of the bar-keepers, lightly. "No, and I never wish to apain: at least in this place. Who is their father? Freeman, the lawyer "Not the one who, a few years ago, cond acted with so much ability the case against the Marine Insurance Company? 'The same.' "Is it possible?" A little group now formed about the man, and a great deal wa said about Freeman's fall from sobriety. One who had several times seen Ad v and Jane come in and lead him home as they had just done, spoke oT them with much feeline, and all at'reel that it was a most touching case. "To see," said one, "how passively he yields himself to the little things when they came after him 1 feel sometimes, when I see them, almost weak enough to shed tears." "They are his good angela," remarked another, .''but I'm afraid they are not strong enough to lead him back to the paths which he hasforsaken."- V-;-'. :-:";;;..:'- 'You can think what yon please about it gen tleraen," spoke the landlord, "bat I can tell yuu my opinion upon, the eubject; I wouldn't give much for the mother who would let two little things like them go wandering about tie streets alone, at this time of nijbt." , . Oia of those who bad expr eased - interest in the childreu, felt angry at this' remark, and retorted with some bitterness "And I woul l give less fur the man who would mnk their- father drunk'"' "Ditto to that,'' responded one of the com pa-nv. ' . . ; ' ' "And here is my hand on that," said andther. The laiiulorti finding that the majority of his company were likely toVtake sides against him, smothered his angry feelings and remained silent. A few minutes afterward, two or three of the inmates of the bar-room went away. Abont ten o'clock the next rnorntng, while Freeman, who was generally sober in the fore prt of the day, was fn hLr ofJSce, a stranger entered, and after sittir.g down said "I roust crave your pardon before hand for what I am going to say to be offended?" Wul you promise not 'If. you offer me an insult I will resent it," said the lawyer", "So far from that I come with the desire to do you a great serviije."

IIslsohtj in Ohio. ; , The first step for the formation of the first Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in Ohio, was taken at ChiUicothe on the first Mon day of January, 1808 now over fifty years since, hen at a meeting of twelve representatives from six subordinate lodges, it was resolved that it was expedient to form a Grand Lode in this - The first Grand Master was the venerable Bafus Putnam, the next Gov. Huntington, and then Lewis Cass. For ten years that is, from 1808 to 1818, the meetings of the Grandf Lodge were held in ChiUicothe, which was also the seat of the State Government. Forty years ago, or in 1818, the Grand todf as well as the General Assembly began to hold tbeir annual meetings in the then borough of Columbus. Chester Griswold was elected Grand Master, and Lincoln Goodale,. the present prop rietor of the Good ale House, in Columbus, was chosen Grand Treasurer, which office he held down to 1837. He looks,' says the Cincinnati Gazette, as hearty and appears as active now as twenty-five years ago. -It was in the room of the Goodale House, now occupied as the recep tion-room, that the Grand Lodge first assembled in the new Capital. - The surviving Grand Masters of the Grand Lodge are Hon. Lewis Case, 1810, Washington City; Chester Griswold, 1818, Virginia; Thomas Corwin, 1828, Lebanon; Wm. Fielding, 1830, Sidney; Charles Anthony, 1832, Springfield; Timothy Baker, 1833, Norwalk; Win. J. Reese, 1834, Lancaster, Wm. B. Thrall, 1843, Colum bus; Wm. B. Hubbard, 1850, Columbus; Lucius V. Bierce, 1853, Akron, Wm. B. Dobbs, 1854, 'Cincinnati; Benj. F. Smith, 1856, Minnesota; present Grand Master, Horace M. Stokes, 1857, Lebanon,. Ohio. The order in the State is nnmerons, healthy, and prospering. The number of working Lodges is 200"; the number of members, 11,000; only two other Grand Lodges of the United States exceeding that of Ohio in their membership, and none perhaps in their worth. Nearly one thousand withdrew lul yenr,- tnat rf whom have ret-paired to the newer States of the West, to aid in upbuilding there the beneficent institution of Masonry. . "UetUnf Hog-ffs," Or In other words to find the net weight when the gt83 weight is iven, is to some a difficult operation.

As cool weather is touting en, and the files are disappearing, it is tme to think about ma king aaesages; hence w present he following methods of making them, from the repertoire of a noted cook: i j 1 " i - Poar Satjsacs. There are many receipts for the making of pork sausages. Several vounties have their own peceliaf receipts, the peenllarity in their sausage being f (he quantity and variety of herbs which they introduce, the prevalence of some particular one giiog:the flavor, as weS as the peculiarity to each. The presence of so many herbs is, bowerer, not 'always ooosidered an agreeable, feature; fA many palates are at fended at that which frms to others the great merit. The following US very simple reeeipt: Take of the fat of pork one pound, that of the loin of a large, ncbT fed pig, ortha inward fat of a small one; cbi(;ft .fie wA .half a pound of Jeanpork; add . to. it four ox five sage leaves finely chopped, kome lemon, thyme in a small quantity, and three dessert spoonsful of crumps of breaa .powdered, ue carefal not to put too much of the Utter, as it tends to tura the sausage sour if kept. Amalgamate those in gTedien,f;s wellj dust raled nutmeg, macef and cloves in powderaaa nman with black pep per and salt, being sure to season well;' the meat may then be put into jt&e skins, or may be put in jars covered down from the air, to be used for rolls, or stuffing, or any' required purpose. All skin must be pared from the fat before chopping, and every sinew removed from the lean pork, as well as any bone, or anything which may. impair the taste when eaten. . ' , , .' . , Another ITay. To si eonple of poands of ltn pork, young, white, and delicate, put three-quar ters of a pound of minced beef suet; the pork must nrst be chopped rery fine; add three des sett spoonsful of bread Whtch has been dipped in Port wine, dried, and grated fine; work It to gether with the yolks of three eggs smoothly beaten; season it with pepper and salt, and dried sage; a very little cayenne may be introduced, and a very small piece of garliex work the whole well together in a mortar until it forms a paste; it may then be put into wide skins, or. pressed down intojars for future use; it is cut into square pieces, dredged with floor, fried in fresh butter, and setU to Uhle on a toast as a breakfast dish. Another vFaiy. Chop particularly fine about two or three pounds, of (aaa pork, and an equal quantify of fat; hare ready some' sage, either dry or green, either passed thsonrtii a seivv or chop ped very, fine, a smail' Jiece of shallot, a. few ff of gad; cloTrfSTtraaoe' wf peppes ana salt; mix a tew line, bread crumbs up with it; have your skins ready cleaned, then fill them; or if preferred, roll iDto balls) and fry them, you will tie them the length you wish the sausages to be; prick the skins with a fork before you fry them; you may do them in the oven, if it should be hot. , : .', .Antlfier Way. Chop the pork as before; only add half the quantity of lean veal, a pound of suet chopped equally fine; have ready a French roll soaked in milk, but no crust; season it well with pepper and salf;; mix it all well together. Another Way. Chop pork as before; add an equal quantity of fat", and the quantity of lean real, ano! the same of suet, and two or three handsful of the bread crumbs; have ready a few sage leaves, a few of knotted majoram, and one shallot; pound all - well together; season with white pepper and s.altf either put them ia skins, or jroll4hem', and fry. tbem as above- German' town Telegraph. - I: "Bearing.

I know that yoa desire to be understood, and will approve my earnestness and plainness. I bare long la bored to' restore oar government to the doctrines on which it was founded. Aly, . hopes for oar country are based npoa that respect for the rights of every member of the he man family which gives equal protection to-each, and which the Republican party are pledged to man tain wherever the Federal Constitution holds axelaa-ive jurisdiction,. regarding slavery as they de an unmitigated despotism, aa outrage upon human nature, a crime which no sophistry can disguise, and ao circumstances can justify. '. ,'; , . Yoa further assert that we will be boand to admit Cuba as a Slave Stata4f she-desires it after annexation- , To this I believe the Republicans are ananimocsly opposed. The very object and design; of annexation is to extend aad increase the despotisms cf slavery; to give the foreign Catholics of Cuba, assisted, by. the Democratic party, the power to. elect our President and Vice President, and control the ' Administration of onr.Federal Oovernment for an indefinite period in the future. To effect this object the present Administration is willing to give the free population of Cuba superior power-and infia-ence over the interests, the rights and hoaor of our people to that which we ourselves exert, Ly allowing them three -votes - for every five slaves they may held in bondage. Republicans deny that Congress or the Federal Oovernment hold any right or authority thus to take from the poo-, pie of the free State the control of their own honoc, and transfer them to the discretion and keeping of Cuban slaveholders. . - .- - - You are reported as quoting from a spech of Mr. Adams apoa the admission of Arkansas, ts a State, lei which .that distinguished statesman said be did not regard it as aa objection to be arged agaiast the admission of that State that she had not formed an anti slavery constitution.' ' Yea must be aware that in the purchase of Louisiana, President Jefferson did not profess to-actio .pursuance of, or under authority ,ci the Constitution, but on the contrary -he exprese'y said the. treat y-woald be void onlesa the Consti-tution should be so amended as to authorize it, and that be and other statesmen regarded the subsequent unanimous approval of the treaty by I the several State, and by the people of. all. the ouies, aa equivalent to aucn an amenamenu-7 That the treaty had at the time Mr. Adams spoke, for more than thirty years been affirmed and sanctioned without a dissenting voice: That aix teen years previously Congress bad with bis entire approval prohibited slavery in that part of the Louisiana purchase lying North of thirty-six degrees, thirty minutes, North latlitade just as Republicans will abolish it ia Caba-n-bef leaving Arkansas with ber slavery to which ao , objection had been previously made. - It was in view of these circumstances, with a desire ta ratify the past action of Government so long an so ooiveraally approved, that Mr. Adams mad the remarks to which you refer. They could ia no respect apply to a future annexation against" the will of any State, or against tha.wiU of any respectable, pertioa of the . people. His views ia ' regard to the annexation of Texas in 1842, while that policy, was cherished by the Executive precisely as 4bat of annexing Cuba is-now, will give the views of our departed friend upon a ease exactly parallel to that of which yoa spoke. At the close of the 17th. Congress, Mx. Adams and nineteen other members of Congress published an address to the -peoplis of the free States. It was dictated and signed by bim. . The address, speaking of the annexation of Texas, declares that it is impossible for any man to doubt that the formation of eeveral new slave-holding States are the real objects of the Executive The same- inferences (says the address) will show that the particalas objects of this new acqaisitioa are the rmprroxTios er. Sua test and the continued ascendency of the Slave power. We bold there is no political necessity for if, ao advantage to be derived from it, and there is no Constitutional power in ay department ef Governinentto effect tf. . That no act of Congress, nor treaty of annexation can impose the least obligation vpon the several 'Stales of the Union to submit to such untcarrantaMe act .or' to receive into their'fam.ily or fraternity such riUegUunate progeny. . We hesitate not to say that annexation by any act or proceeding of the Federal Government, or any of its departments, mould be identified wtlh dissolution. f oucq were the opinions of lie. Adams left oa-rdcord.cver bis own signature, and I feel author-; ized to say be cherished them while he Uvea, 1 is true that the free States preferred submission tney went luXo-o- new anion witn Texas rather than separate, from the Slave States.
