THE HURON EXPOSITOil.
Secret Societies.
. . ...............
. ,
Secret fraternities have existed at all
times and in -all countrics. Egyptinvented
the division of :the initiated- nit(diterent
degrees; and the celebrated mysteries of
Greece were of Egyptian origin. In Persia,
Zoroaster is believed to have introth4eed
the Egyptian mysteries ; and the secret ini-
fiations of the Mitharics were founded n on
the doctrines of the Magi The Romans
adopted the religious mysteries , of the 'na-
tions they conquered;: and the DioneYsia
when introduced into Italy, degenerated
into the scandalous Orgies of the Bachana-
lia. In China in India, and in Russia, .we
find that secret fraternities have existed
from earliest historical period. 111
The most important initiations anent
times were those of the Magi of Egyptind
of Greece. The Magi are said to have had
three difft.rent degrees, and the firmness and
courage of the candidates were proved by
severe trials. The mysteries of Mit ra
claim particular attention, as itis probable
that the early Christians under the pernnt.
ted symbols of the Mithraitic rites, wore ip-
ped the Son of God in safety. The M th-
raics were not only a secret society wkch
arose on the foundations of Magism, for he
dark speculations of Manes had the sane
origin; and some traces of its influence nay
beSound among the Albigenses pend in he
•secret history of the Knight.", Tempi .
Egypt seems to be the picture of contin al
initiation into mysteries ; the sacred be-
lisks, the labyrinth, the human-hea ed
birds, have long remained a mystery to
many of us, and were probably alway a
mystery to that Egyptain people wh`ch
silently and patiently raised the Pyramids.
All• the symbols which the uninitiatedl in
modem times have ')eheld without un er-
standing, in all probability formed the 1 n-
gtiage of one of the most. extensive and n-
ergetic secret fraternities which have ever
,existed. If, however, in Egypt the pri sts
of Isis had once been the powerful ruler of
of the people, and the repositories of, a se ret
science at Rome, in latter times, the ppor
priests lived a solitary vagabond life with-
out a tempi°, carrying in their arms he
statue of Isis, and offering ini*iation to all
who would pay for it. To such a depth of
degradation had the once-drearaed mysteries
Men. -Pythagoras founded at erotana'!. a
society in imitation of thefOrphid mysteres,
but political struggles sdon destroyed lit;
his disciples, however, maintained his doc-
trines for some time, and the name of Pytha
goreans has been adopted by many of Ithe
societies of the middle ages and of modern
times. The initiation of Greece had eape-
daily a moral object ; the mysteries were a
pra3tical and representative philoscp y,
formed into an institution that it might be
preserved with greater safety. In the mys-
teries the worship of nature held a principal
place.
•.��.I..
.Agrioultural Laborers m England nd
Wales.
" The short and simple annals of he
poor," are not always of a poetical tone. A
Parliamentary return has just been iss ed
of the average weekly earnings of agri ul-
tural laborers in England and Wales, w'th
the description and quantity of °food 4nd
drink allowed ; and whilet it is found that
in many places the wages are extremely
low, there is evidence that, as a whole, the
laborers are not at all badly off for 1iq+:11.
Thus, in Bedfordshire, where we find the
wages averaging lis. per week, each i4an
in hay time costs front 3s. to 4s. per w ek
for beer; andin harvest, from SS. to 5s. 6d.;
the average weekly cost per head during the
year being nearly, if not quite, 2s. In *.n -
clover -Union, Southampton, the men receive
three quarts of ale every day in harvest -
time, and " children under 16, 3 pints of ale'
, per day. Berkshire carters and sheph rds
are allowed a gallon of beer per day.. ei-
cestershire and Somersetshire afford s me
contrast. In the former county, with the
wages for men 13s., and for women 6s. per
week, neither food nor drink is given ---i ot
even at Melton Mowbiay, famous fori its
pies; while in the latter, bread, meat, ch ese
and potatoes are allowed to the exten of
five meals a day, in addition to a gallo of
cider—wages averaging about 1 ls. In C- m-
bridgeshire, .men can earn only from Os.
to 1 2s.„ and women from 3s. to 5s_per w ek.
Wages are generally low in the eastern tnd
south-western counties, men in Dorsets ire
getting as. little as 9s. 6s., with no allow-,
ante but beer in harvest, In Derbyshire,
men make from. 12s. to 15s., and women
from 10s. to 12s., without food i but in
Yorkshire, the day laboiers obtain 18s. and
even 21s. per week. In the northern coun-
ties the laboiers are comparatively well Sd.

Modes of Walking
Observing persons move slow ; their hands
movealternatelyfrom side to side, while
they occasionally stop and.tuin round.
Careful persons lift their feet high and
place them d,dwn, pick up some little ob-
struction, and place it down quickly by the
side of the way.
Calculating persons generally walk with
their hands in their pockets, and their heads
slightly inclined.
Modest persons generally step softly for
fear of being observed.
Timid persons often step off the pave-
ment on meeting another, and always go
round c stone instead of stepping over it.
Wide-awake persons toe out, and have a
longaWing to their rnis, WhileAtheir hands
move about miscellaneously.
Lazy persons scrape about loosely with
their heels, and are first on one side of the
pavement a.nd_then on the other.
Very strong-minded persons place their
toes directly in front of them, and have a
'kind of stamp movement.
Unstable persons walk fast and slowly by
turns. •'
Venturous persons 'try all roads, frequent-
ly climbing the fences instead of going
thiough the gate, and never let down the
bars. • .
One -idea persons, and always very selfish
ones, toe in.
Cross persons are very apt to hit their
knees together.
Good-natured persons snap their fingers
every few steps.
Fun -loving persons have a kind of jig
movement.

A Touching Obituary.
A disconsolate husband thus bewails the
loss ot his wife and apostrophoises her me-
niory :
Thus my wife died. No more will those
loving hands pull off my boots, and part my
back hair, as only a true wife can. No
more will those willing feet replenish coal
hod and water pail. No more will she arise
'mid the tempestuous storms of winter, and
gaily hie herself away to build the fire,'
without disturbing the slumbers of the man
who doted on her so artlessly. Her mem-
ory is embalmed in my heart of hearts. I
wanted to embalm her bcdy, but I found
that I could embalm her memory much
cheaper.
I procured from Mr. Eli Mudget, a
neighbor of mine, a very pretty gravestone.
His wife was .consumptive, and he kept it o -n
hand several years, in expectation of her
death. But she rallied that spring, and his
hopes were blasted. Never shall I forget
this poor man's grief when I asked him to
part with it. Take it, Skinner,' said he,
take it, and may you never know what it
is to have your soul racked with disappoint-
ment as mine has been !' And he burst in-
to a flood of tears. His spirit - was indeed
utterly crushed
• I had the following epistle engraved upon
the gravestone :
" To the memory of Tabitha, wife of Moses
Skinner, Esq, the gentlemanly editor of the
Tromdone. kind mother and exemplary
wife. Terms, two dollars a year, invariably
in advance. Office over Coleman's groceiy,
up two flights. Knock hard. We shall
miss thee, mother; we shall miss thee.'
Job printing solicited."
Thus did my lacerated spirit cry out in
agony, even as Rachel weeping for her chil-
dren. But one ray of light penetrated the
despair of my soul. The undertaker took
his pay in job printing, and the 3exton owed
me a little „account I should not have gotten
in any other way. Why should we pine at
the mysterious ways of Providence and vi-
cinity 7 (Not a conundrum.)
1 here pause to drop a silent tear to the
memory of Tabitha Ripley, that was. She
was an eminently pious woman, and could
fry the best pieces of tripe I ever slang un-
der my vest. Her picked -up dinners were
a perfect success, and she always doted on
foreign missions."
A ROYAL ACT OF JUSTICE.—The Queen
of Prussia Was, the other day, the heroine
of the following little adventure : She was
walking with one of her ladies on the road,
leading from Sans $ouci to Potsdam, when
she saw an old soldier, who had lost one eye
and one arm, sitting by the wayside. The
old man looked very sad, and the Queen
stopped in order to enquire what was the
matter with him. "0, Madame," said the
veteran, who evidently did not know who
the lady was. "I am in the deepest distress,
• I have but one child—a daughter—a young
girl, who, until recently, was employed as s
chambermaid in the Royal Palace -at Pots-
dam. She received good wages ; but -the
other day one ortbe- girls that hated her for
some reason or other, charged her with hav-
ing stolen some articles of value, and, al-
though -my dear girl. strenuously protested
her innocence. she was diseharged. Now
she cannot find another -situatiOn, so I am
deprived of my only support, for Tay scanty
pension is not sufficient to buy bread for
us." "I believe I can help you,, my friend."
said the Queen. The veteran looked at
her incredulously. The Queen, however,
took down his name and that of his daugh-
ter, and; 044 Cie' o1nnjnpidy
continued her walk. The Berlin corres-
pondent of the _Paid() Gozoll, who relates
the above, ;dgtiatft1ie. Qiiden, after ex-
amining the case of the veteran'S daughter,
ordered that a more lucrative' position
should be given to her, and sent a handsome
present to the veteran.
ELEVEN TURKEYS.—An old toper started
for home ono night from " up -town," in his
normal condition, with a turkey he had ob-
tained for a holiday dinner,,, Ife.found the
road very rough and fell several times over
all sorts of obstructions in the path. Each
time he fell he dropped the turkby, but con-
trived to pick it up again On entering his
house he steadied himself as well as he
was able, and said to his wife, "here wifey,
I've got 'leven turkeys for you."
" Eleven turkeys ! What do you mean
There is only one."
"There must be 'leven turieys, wifey,
for I fell down 'leven times, and every time
I found a turkey."
