A member of the Fastern Star Lodge of Masons exw that article, and Ioid it before bis Brethren in the lodge. After debating the wubject fenul midnight, a committee was appointed to carry @ut tho project. It was done suoceasfully, and amany thousand pecks of conl were wold at eight cents per peck. Thin year the Masonic Mision bas been evtablished Ly membern of the Faatern Mtar Lidge, and their efforte bid fair to afford the right kind of relief to many persons during the Winter season now upon us, Another enterprise of this kind f@ about to be put In operation by sev- eral gentlemen, who will use tho!r expital and de- vote ther time, for the purpose of selling provis+ Jona at cost to those who canuot afford to pay digher prices.

Thore were present pe robe from New York, Peansyleania, Masanch ue aetia, Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland, and the District of Columima, A band of music ‘was in attendance, The meeting having heen call- edt order a comnittes wan appointed to effect a permanent orzanivation, During the absence of the Committers, the Convention waa addreased by Hon, James Gallagher, of Counectiont. He spoke strongly in favor of having the tax placed entirely upon the leaf, He knew that there was no person in the Convention who did not love the American flag above all others, and who was disposed t) pay his just proportion of the tex. [App J After nome remmarks by Mr, Woedruf, the Cor mittoo on Permanent Organization reported for President Wm. FE. Lawrence, of the firm of AW H Mickle & Lowe, of this city, aamated by vice-pres - dente from the various Bates, FB ri Br f New York, and A. R. Fongeasey, of Philade were appointed Secretaries, A committee was then appolntal te draft reaoln- tions to be submitted to the Convention, after which » lengthy report waa real, It stated that 420,500,771 Tha. of tobacco were raiwed in this coun try during the past year letermine the proper rate of nasorement for tobacco In the leaf is ® ques. on of some nicety, as opinions are somewhat di- verse upou this polut. But we muet Grat see what dhe government demandaof us, aul what we are Paying. Of the five grades of curs contained in she achedule, there are on!¥ four o yrreat om. portance, and these range us the MLS, 2h, pnd the $40 tax, The majority of the ciyara male Uhie year will undoubted!y bo returned et and un dor the @8 tax, But, as there will be a cons!der- sble number returned atthe #15, and sore under e #25, and periapa a ve few at the g40 tax, we way take the #15 per thousand aa the average tax. It usually requires about twenty-five pounds vf tobacco to make « thousand cigars; the wovern- ment thua demands at the rate of 60 cents a pound tor the toby ined tn each thousand of clyars that me tobaces the tax is 2 pn fine and chewins Bmoking tobseco, as ft js usually imi hot decrease much in the man) facture—one red pounds of leaf yielding the same am manufactured tobaccy. Bat there isa great dis- panty in other kinds——one bundred pounds of leaf Yielding about eighty-five pounds ct suuft, sixty- eight of five cut, and eighty of plug tobacco. The sufacturers of anut! and plug, therefora, pa ul twenty-nine cents a pound on the raw ma. Yerial; and the manufacturer of Mne cut twenty-four eonts a pound, From this it would appear that al- mostany reduction woull be agre le o ¢ manufacturers, while to the tobacconists a propor- tionate reduction could not bet be ac acle ‘Twouty ve cents a pound on al! leaf u would seem to be a fair rate of assessment, conte would not be o tod to cigar unanutacturera, if they were protected in other respects. There would be no necessity of evading ths amount as the former will yield all the woverunveut needs. At the rate of twenty-five cents a po ind, the tax on 429,250,771 pounds would y felt she enormous sum of 107,922,692, The recellion having repressed tho growth of tobacco in several of the prin cipal tobacco-growing Btates included in the sbove, of course this estimate has no sinificance further than to indicate what might be expected from thig source in time of peace. The war, bo ever, cannot last always, aud five years hene there will probably be as much tobacco raised fn the country as thore was in 1800, Conneticut, New York, Ohio and other Northern aud Middle Prates ure annually increasing thelr productions." The report, after alluding to the want of uvi- formity in the Internal revenue law, clowed by giving some etatistics in relation to the growth of tobaces, and calling on Congress to pub the tax ou tue lent, The report was referred to » Committee of one from euch Btate with power, The Committee on resolutions then presented » preanible and series of resulutions in accordance with the re owmmenda- flons set forth in the report, aud directing a mo. morial to be prepared calling upon Conyress to Ko amend the jaw as to have @ uniform tax on the leaf of 20 percent.

Gertrude supported herself anc her child by ber spinning, and four times every year she and Berths went to a emall town about two \cagues distant, to diapore of produce of her Industry, and to purchase the few articles of food and clothing which their sim- ple babite rendered necessary, These periodical vinitw were alwayve looked forward to with eager de- light by the little girl; they were the great events of her life, the bright stars in her calm and cloud- boas sky. It waa the evening of a beautiful day in October, the setting sun snone brightly through the lattice, and rested on the glowing cheek and glossy golden curls of the fair child, agif to set forth, |f possible more strongly, the striking contrast betwoen their brilliant beauty, and the dark mourning dress and careworn features of her mother, who sat gazing with all s mother's fondness upon the elastfe form end the bright laugbing eye of the little matden, as she busied hersc!fin tying up, and arranging in large Lundies,the ekeins of homespun thread, which Gertrude produced from « press that stood in one corner of ber neat little kitchen. “LT hope we shall have a fine day for our walk to- morrow, mother,"’ said Bertha, as she finished un- ravelling « tanyied mass of thread, and laid tt in triumph on the table. ‘' We shal! have a large bas- ket-full to take this time, but can carry it all the Way ; you know, mother, the last time we went, you were tired, and Iwas not." She stopped ab- ruptly, for aa she looked up into her mother's face she observed the melancholy amile with which she Listened to her dsughter's merry prattie. “Dear mothor, you are not well, you would rather not go?" “Tam not well," answered Gertrude : “ but I muat go, or how couk! the thread be sold?" “Let me go alone," cried Bertha, pausing in her employment, and looking earnest)y in her tot! er's face, ‘I know the way perfoctly, and you know I arm ten years old ; dear mother, please to let me go inatead of you," she continued, as she threw ber arma around her mother's nock and kissed her pale cheek, ‘But the foreat, Bertha, you will lose your way, or some harm will happen to you; I cannot let you go alone.’ Bit Bertha urged so earnestly and so tenderly, the necessity of her mother's staying at home t.!l her health was stronger, and explained so clearly the road she was to take through the portion of the for- eat which she would have to pass, that ber mother at last yielded « reluctant consent; and Bertha lay down to rest that night, happy in consciousness that sbe was old enough to be of some use, and steady enough to be trusted, The next morniug she rose early, and was soon ready to set forth npon her journey. Gertrude al- most repented having given her consent; but she felt Lerjown strength quite unequal to so ong a walk, and knowing that for her child's sake it waa her duty, if possible, to preservo her own life, she mace no further opposition, and, giving Bertha the bas- ket containing the thread, and » smal! oaten cake to serve a provision on the road, she repeat- ed ber injunctions to her, to return early, that she tulght not be overtaken by the close of the short guturonal day, before sue had passed through the forest ; and kissing hor affectionately, aud commen- ding her to the care of Him who w the Father of the fatherloss, she watchod the little figure, unt!! it became leas aud leas, and finally disappeared amongst the trees; and then she returned to ber lonely dwelling, to renew her prayers for the safe ty of ber darling child. Berthatripped merrily slong; the sun broke gradually through the mist which had hitherto shorn itofits rays, and beamed forth in all its brightness, making the dew-drops glitter ke dia- monde; and the birds chanted their matin bymns, and hopped from bough to bough, and as their rain- bow plumage glanced in the sunshine, they looked down upon Bertha with their bright eycs, the yittle girl alrnovt faneied that they were beautiful spirits of the woo!, sentto be her companions on her lonely pilgrimage, aud unconscious'y, she rais- ed her soft, clear aud child-like voice, and joined im their song. Borths walked on for a considerable time and at last she began to feel somewhat weary, so she sat down on ono of the large projecting roots of a lofty tree, which formed a convenient resting place, and taking her little cake out of her basket ehe ates part of it, and put the remalader back, intonding to keep it ti!l evening, It was a pleasant coo) spot like # bower, where Rert!a had chosen her resting place, there was » gentle breeze just stirring the leaves on th® trees, and softly fanning her cheek ; she took off her large straw hat, and, having laid iton the vrass beside her, she gathered some of the flowers which formed s carpet at her feet, and amused herself with twin- ing them into @ garland, Bertha had been for some time employed in this manner, when ashe suddenly observed something moving near the foot ot @ tree ata little distance, Bhe watched it for some moments, and then she per- ceived that it was @ squirrel, Bhe approached it softly and cautiously, and as ehe caweo nearer it moved slowly to a short distance, but did not hop away, or climb up into atree, as she expected, so she came still nearer, and then she saw that the little croature was scarcely able to stir; it appeared to be either very {ll, orto have received some injury, “Poor little thing,'’ gait Bertha, ‘itis so weak it cannot run about to get ite food as usual, and dying ofhunger; I wonder if it would eat some of my cake?" und so sho ran back and fetched the piece of cake out of her basket, and breaking {t into small bits, she scattered {t about on the ground, near to where the squirrel lay. She would not go quite close for foar of frivbtening it; then she retired to her old place under the tree, and she soon had the pleasure of seeing the little animal craw! slowly from one place to another, picking up the crumbs, and eatins them with vreat apparent satisfaction, Bertha now recollected thas it was time to proceed on her journey; sotying on her hat, and taking her basket in her hand, she walked on ag gaily og ever, quite refreshed by her long rest under the tree, Before she bad gone very far she observed a Jittle worm ly nog just in her path, She stepped to one side to avoid treadiny on i and walked on; but presently she said to herself, ** perhups somebody may pass this way, who tusy not see that poor little worm, and then it will be killed,'* so she went back and taking {t up very gently, she laid it down amongst the crass at some distance from the path As she did so, she could not help remarking what © curiow Ville wor we. Awl mason angy one like it, it wae not an earthworm, nor s catere pillar, nor s wail, it was abort balf an inch long, and of @ white feshy colour, quite unlike any other wortn ebe had ever seen—what could it be? The un was now high in the heavens, and it pen- etrated even through thedeep shade of tho trees, ond Bertha knew that it was mid-lay, and abe walked on rapidly, for she hed sill some distance to io Bhe hed not proceaded far, when the sbrill nole ofa bird, loud, and quickly repeated, struck upom her ear: it sounded like acry of pain or distress. Perth s listened, and looked in the direction whence she eound came, but she could discover nothing’ still the note was repeated, Jou ter and more rapide ly, a though the poor bird knew that syentle beara was near, and was appeal ngto it for aid.
