Worthy Past Grand Master, Rrothers, and Fricuds: it is not unusual for nations and in- stitutions to celebrate events in their history ot spectal interest. Hut we meet on this occasion to eciebrate the most important event in the history of oa: ancient fraternity in the District of Columbia. We meet not, however, as our fathers did, who first formed this order in thi city twenty-four years ago, in au isvlated spo:, where none but THE ALL-SEEING EYE could behold them. Nor do we meet the su‘- jects of tyranny and oppression; but while the heavens declare the glory of God, and the tir mament sheweth forth his handy works, we weet as freemen in the sunlight of liberty, amid A. PREE- the assembled multitude, to defend the prin- ciples for which our tathera labored, an joice that their labors were not in’ vain. Sir, this occasion is of more than ordinary interest, when we remember that the fifteen men who raised the standard of Friendship, Lora nd Truth on this side of the Potomec, espoused the cause of humanity at a time when the future of our race on this continent was doubtful, when it was difficult to discern ia the distance a'single Tay of light that would encourage them to hove that the object tor which they labore? would be tually consummated. But determined to assis the cause of humanity, they persevered, and by the assistance of Him who is the autor and friend of society, established for themselves a their posterity organization whose tame is known throughout the land, and whose name ill live while {ime revolves, and as a body al- ering to the teachings of our fathers, we re. joice this day that the seed of = FRIENDSHIP, LOVE AND TRUTH. though sown in the dark days of slavery, in sorrow and tears, they have produced an abun- dant harvest, but as each dy brings its duties and responsibilities, so every occs- ion like this, and every advanced position we take, brings us pearer to the goal tor which we labor. fam aware that on occasions like the present, and especially where organiaa‘ic 1s of ancient origin exist, it is customary to boast of their antijuity, but I'am here for no such purpose.

A few days since, the wife of a well-known grocer on Pennsylvania avenue had occasion to have some stamping done for embroidery at a stamping establishment and fancy store on F street, well known to the ladies of Washington. After the work was handed to her she left the store, and proceeded homeward. The propri- etor, however, soon after she had lett, missed same valuable goods, and not knowing the so- cial standing of his late customer supposed it A CASE OF KLEPTOMANIA, and that she was the culprit. He hastily fol- lowed her, and cvertaking ber asked her name. She gave it to him, being much surprised at his manner. He then told her his reason for mak- ing the inquiry, and the lady was naturelly in- dignant, but went on her way greatly agitated at the insult. ‘The proprietor of the store in the meantime proceeded to a magistrate’s office, obtained Warrant for the arrest of lis late customer, and gave itto an officer to serve on her. The officer, when he was informed of tle offence and for ®hose arrest the warrant was refused to serve it, saying there must be some mistake, and if the prosecutor was willing to get into a Scrape by arresting a lady of her standing he (the officer) was not. ‘The lady, in the meantime, informed her husband of the circumstanre, and he at once threatened ven- eance on the man who had so grossly insulted er.

There has been some lively gossip in a portion of the Seventh Ward within the past two or three days, in consequence of reports that a young lady well known to many residents in South Washington had, without the knowledge of her mother and brothers, been married to a young man who has not yet attained his major- ity. The svpposed bride, prominent omceholder residing in the northern section of the city, and the young man formerty held a clerkship in one ot the departments, bat desiring to be independent, and having the Proper idea that ‘a good trade would be a good thing to have,” he resigned the privilege of drawing his few handreds per annum, and en- tered one of our shops as A ‘PRENTICE Boy, in which position he has since continued to work faithfully, and, it is said, bids fair to become a finished “mechanic. He had previously formed the acquaintance of the young lady in question, and spent many hours with her in the evenings after she had returned from her duties in the ‘Treasury and his work in the shop was over for the day, as also on Sunday; yet no one thought they contemplated matrimony, for some years to come, at least. ‘The mother and brotvers had no objection whatever to the lover, but thou the young people too youthtul to take sach important step as marriage, and believed th would wait a year or two, at least. It appears, however, t THE UNG LADY HAD PRoMtsED to visit the young man’s family, and on last Wednesday afternoon she left her home tor that Purpose, as her family thought, notwithsta wing the fact that she was very particular on this oc- casion to wear a white dress.

She returned to her home and he t» his. The next day, and subsequent days, she went to her work, in the Treasury, as usual; the hushand visiting her at her house in the evening, a is his custom. There was no suspicion in either the family of the bride or gtoom that the knot bad been tied. It was, however, noticed that the visits of the young man were more fre- quent than formerly, and that his hours were somewhat longer, and soon the brothers became suspicious that she was Mrs. M., and charged her with it. For a few minutes SHE WAS CORNERED, but finally, as *- an open confession is good for the soul,” acknowledged that she was married, giving the time and place as above. The mother was surprised, and so was brother George, but they could not help matters, and they concluded to make the best of it. The father of the young man bad not been informed ot the affair until too late, and he, like a sensible old gentleman, took it philosophically when he heard the news, and bas since paid a visit to his new daughter- in-law and her family, and expressed his deter- mination to back the young man up, but thinks it best he should continue as an apprentice until his majority. —__ +.

He urged that tea drinking among the teachers would do much good in making teachers acquainted with each other, and remeve the coldnets observed in some schools. After referring to the teachers’ busi- hess and prayer meetings he spoke of the pre- paratory meetings es being of the utiaost portance to teachers, urging that it was as necessary for the teachers to be prepared for teaching as it was for the pastor to have mas- tered the subject. He did not think that the lecture system of conducting a teachers’ class was the proper plan, as it faa a tendency to drive away the lukewarm; but tavored the cate- chetical system, by which the most information can be procured. int May.
