LETTER FROM MR. EASTON.
[concluded.] Thus far j had written, wheu I received a let¬ ier from the Editor of tiie " Examiner and Her¬ ald,'' staling that he wished the di.-?cni53iou closed in his columns, with luy preseut letter atul yonr reply. While thanking the Ediior for his kind¬ ness in publiahing so niiu-h uu this subject, yet Sir, I need nut sJiy,on sevi-nd accounis 1 regret thai I eaunut, in thc same periodical, piwecd and poiut out some mure of tlie " beautiful " features of your ^' l.nuitiOil i'»it benevolent Order." I hnve/.^oi-^f/all my preceding positions respec¬ ting the anii-republicanism ^c. of the Order and the immorality aud prnfaniiy of the pledge, and
if spared ibere  -hall shortly be laid before lhe
public, an expuse ofthe i-Wj?.'//«<;-<.? of yonr secret a-i=oriation ; tlmt your " benevolent Order " is as mucii liutiilcd lolhe epithet as a Board of Bro¬ kers, and thai it is thoroughly selUsh as well as e^>entiaJIy despotic. I slmll «how-the sillinesi^ cf your *' Rcgaliu," and ihe sinfahie.ti of the re¬ spect yon unfit jiay to the collar the Order ha> put tm yuur neck; I shall prove by e.'ctracts from duounicnis of the seoret association, ihe hu- mlliaiing state of bondage to winch the Order le- diir-e.> lis members —the degrading sJjivery tn which you 111051 submit—its silly and ridiculon:^ ode~—its pollution of the '^ funerals of the dead " and rubbing thc grave of its proper lesion, while seeking, in its selfishnes?, to make capital for it¬ s-elf oven from u broiher*3 rotlin. And I had liuped to have heard yonr reusons fov jiarading over the black coat tlie " triangle emblazoned M'iih symbolic color-!,"—and many of the farmers of " Old Ivmcaster "' were " waiting anxiously," to liear how yon would explain the mystery, rluii withuut that magic emblazonry and symbol¬ ic collar on the neck, not a nionihful of sense could lie expected from any member in the se¬ oret Hall. They were also expecting to be amused by your aiiempts to jirove the slavery of the Order —repiihlicunisr,!; remembering the amusemeni caused byyour romparison ofthe constiiutionof the Secret Band with the Constitn- Tiun of Pa. and the U. Stjites. Many of thoin also wished to hear why, as the " Journnl of ynnr Grand Fonntain Head " infurm.s ns, " Mr Ogden nnd bis associate.';—(colored")—weerre- fii>ed a charter; why the helplo.-is, aged and in- finii arc sternly excluded from ihelxiasiod ben¬ fits nf ihe Order, and how " hcantifnlly " snch /"ondnct of the Order harmonizes with its iirofc.-^s- ed design, to " reclaim the world "—to extend the shield of the." exallcd band " over aV, and make " virtue only the standard of worth " ( ! ) It wa« aUo hoped yon would have tried to do n.nv, what ynu must do at a judgment seat. •^hnw wbat ri^ht—what warrant a minipter of Jc.'sns has ti* enter, in such a way, .=nch a secret Hall; where it i^! written nt the eoinmission of a preacher of the i£0=:pel, that he hus tho MusterV aulliority for taking such a ra.>h pledge &c ; and how you can serve at BaaP.-< altars, ns Baai's ]Hicst, and .^ing Baal's -'5ong>, and in thuse song^ nickname ihe Almighty as " the greal Patriarch :»bove" til d(t honor tu the .*illy lilies of nn infidel Order,nnd yet Ijc sinless ? Atany also were des- iioiis lo learn how a preacher felt on his knees in thesecrct Hall, when tho "Installation Ode"in lionor of the Order is snng, and with the " custo¬ mary rcromonies,'' yon were " duly obligated find installed " inthe exalled ofTicc of Chaplain of the Order. Listen again to words you have uften repeated, as found in lhat in.*iallation ode.

And I must be permitted to take this opportu¬ nity of expressing my deep sense of thc kiruhics? of Mr. Darlington, in publishing ?(\ mnch of the discussion,    I hope the " farmers of Old Lancas¬ ter " will long remember his fearless and manly course in this respect.    I was not aware, till late¬ ly, of the irouble and  expense   to M'hich snch a poniroveisy  ex|)0scs  an Editor : and   yet, when ytuir Older sought to muzzle the press in ditTor cnt sections uf thc conntry, be  it  remembered, lhe  "Lnncaster  Examiner  and   Herald"   wa-s free.    The columns of papers nnder tho control of the  Secret  Order were   soon clo.=:pd:   with Grand and Most Woriliy Patriarch muzzles " all their mouths were bound," and one   whicli per¬ sisted  ill admitting  communications  calling  in *pie^n the  " purity aiiJ propriety " of the Or¬ der, and whicii a few weeks befure boasted of its '•ihonsuiid i^ubscribcrsand more" was instanily sacrificed.    Free inquiry will never iniurc a good cause, and truth spurns all trickery and mystery such as yonr Order delights in.    And it is not to be wondered, that a secret Order which refiise.« to its mcmber.=i the libeny of speech, and demand? pledges of ^creny, .should seek to bribe or frown the press niio silence.    Despotism hales an   un¬ shackled pie>s, and secret asstjoiations like your? bave always been the enemies of free discussion. Wbile tbe press is  free our  cnuntry has  not so much to fear from such  a'^sociations : bnt when the liberty of  the press ^^\u under such despotic Orders, the Rubicon is passed—our  liberty  wUI be a mockery, and  our  republican  government become, what your Order now is, a corrupt cen¬ tralized despotism.    Less than iliis, I could not say respecting the Editor's conriesy and kindness, and as you have recommended me to go on what you very courteously  or  coarsely call u " fool's errand to  Conshohocken," you will not be dis¬ pleased, if 1 tell you, I feel indebted to ibe Ediioi
of thc Eiaminer for tlie publication of yonr et- lers also, on the principle .set forth m another proverb wbicb vou will allow me m quote- to be foolish or kiiavisb in print, dolh but bi;ing the truth to light." A word here on the Consho¬ hocken storv, fl'' yon term it. Ihave jitsl re¬ ceived extia<;is from liie" Mmuie Book of thc Consholiocken Division "conjirviing Dr. Corson's .^tafeinen/.t,and\Ut'se wiih .some remarks on tbe selfisbuess and slavery of tbe Order—its exclu¬ sion of the atHictcd, ugod and all bnt the mon¬ ey-making, its Regalia 6ic. will in dne time be laid before the pnblic in pamphlet fortu. As I had adduced only partof my proofs of the infi¬ del tendency of the Order when T received the above intimation from tho Editor, I shall briefly state a few more on this pomt, reserving the full elucidation of thum f<u- a future occasion.
2. I ob^^erve then, further, that the infidel ten¬ dency of your Order is proved by its public docu¬ ments pretending it ean perform the work of the Gospel, by spreading among men pnrity, morali¬ ty and love ; thai it can " «i«/T the heurt pme " lke. (See Ciretihu of your Grand Division und p. 22'.2 of J.mrnal of Grand Fountain Head J844.) Its iiifiilel lendency is seen in printed arguments onbehalf cf the Order, pnblic speeches of preach¬ ers ific. Some assert, that it possesses the inhe¬ rent power of redeeming a fallen world: others, that such seciet as.^oriations—such benevoleni in¬ stilulions are .superior to all others—atfording many and peculiar means for the moral elevation f ynung men. They are reqnired to take upon them no profexxiun of sanctity, and consequently run ro risk of incurring the charge of hypocrisy. Where will you fiud in Paine, Gibbon or Voltaire, nure malignunt though secret stabs at Christiani¬ ty than these ; pronouncing all professors byjioc- riles, while lauding the institution as snperior to every other; nay, as possessing the inhcreni jiow¬ er of jH.»rfurming what required the sufferings and deatli of the Lord of angel.s and of men—" lhe redemption of a fallen world." Another wriier —tlie Editor of one uf the newspapers devoted to the Order—says : "Secret societies are con¬ demned by the ignorant and prejndioed, yen, even hy some churches ( .' ) — He wlio tienies the free¬ dom of the will, is only acting as an automaton, aud never will see Ins error. (Just so, an an- lomaton is a maehine moved by invisikle springs, and every faithful member of the Order you know is snch an automaton.) Religious iireju- ¦lieeshavc lulled the ignorant fast asleep, and if the bull of his majesty, the clergyman (M. W. Patriarch) is only issned, then lo(di out for strict obedience. Heaven sivo us from ever becoming ensnared bythe influence of he dark ages ! Our fathers, onr sons and nnr danghieis, (nn yonth under IS, no fomale .shall be admitted into the Order !) thank God ! may be .saved from a drun¬ kard's wretchedness by the aid of those who are determined to be the in.ttnnncjit-t of thc world's reilcynption." There is humility for yon, and ob- •icrve how liiis couceiied wittling applies and acts out yonr doctrine on the oath. While such Edi¬ tors "set lheir incMith againsi the heavens in their bla'sphemous lalk," their " tongue walketh throngh thc earth "in reviling the tdmrch antl peopleof Gtxl for the faiihful di.'=chargc of duty. And this Ediior ouly carries out ytun principle in defence of jirofanity.—(By my word,—upon nn' honor—Heaven save ns ! &c.) Such an Edi¬ tor would bo tnken by thc Persian of v/hom Cowper speaks, as a Doctor nf Divinity at I en.'-t.

But even pveaclier.s of the gos]iel, in  defending the Order, bave been guilty of an impious jiaro- dy and perversion of sacred words and snbjects. Some preachers bave been heard, in their public ad<Iresse.5, attempting to liiustrale and defend the proprietj' of the triangle, badges  rozetles &c, of the Older by referring to the sacraments of baii- tism and the Lord's supper, as hailgcs wliich the Christian adopts   to distinguish him !   and .'¦ome, to the "regalia of Aaron—the white linen Eph- od &c," while onc clmiilain has gone still higher, and comparcii ihc  "Sons of the   Order"  when parading their red, white and bine regalia, to the "Heavenly Hosts'"; and  as if even this had not heen high enough, dared to ascend to the throne of Cioil,and used for an illustratiun—the a.-*sninp- litui of the hnman natnre by tho Eternal  Son id God.    If   this  was  not   blasphemy—combined wilh   impndenf'C  and   ignorance   gross  enough even for a secret Lodge-room, will you   lell what it is.    AVas Christ'.s assmnption of ibe hu¬ mnnity a matter of inditTerence, like the ^vear- iiig of a black coat, or parading the collar of an infidel Order; and  is there   any   relevancy   in comparing, in   any shajie —Him who is indivisi- bly God—man Mediator, to the Voltaire Badge! Why, a child whn has  learned the first 27 qnes¬ tions of thc   Siiorter Cate  chism knows,  tiiat it was absolutely 7iecessary that the St5n of Goil, in the nature which had sinned, sliunld make atone¬ ment fnr sin-and "become obedient unto death ": and wonld nol a child  thus   taught, .shudder   at the impious  comjiarison.    The Garmenis of tbe Higb Priest alflo were  divinely  appninted-r-the ordinance of baptism andthe Lord*s Supper, are divinely instituted ordinances, and where is tbere tbe shadow of a resemblance between tbe Rag: of a secret Band, and lbc sacraments of the gos pel church—to justify  such   similes.    Had they compared your ridiculous triangles—stars—and ribbons to tbe " tinkling ehuins " and silly rega¬ lia of the hungbty daughters of Zion   spoken of by Isaiah (eb. 3. IB.,) or to the " distinguishing badge " of stage-jilayers, or of the ancient JCIeu- sinian Order, lhe comparir-un   would  have been mure relevant: or   if,  descending to later tiines, they had used as similes whai i< properly by the meaning of the word " badges—the well known ornaments worn  originally   by ihe   letniuers oi .iHiuil.iuts of lbe   nubiliiy," but whicii   fell into disuse in the reign of tioeeu   Elizabetli, ii mighi have been   scuue-whai   appr(5pi late.

There are some things lhat farmers slid.iilil know.
It is an error to pl.-inl .seeiis from a Slale further south. In a cold season .only lhe seed Irom a colder climate will ripen well.
Often breaking np n sui face keeps a sod in healih; for when il lies in a hard bound stale, enriching showers run oil', and the salnbrions air cannot enter.
Wreds exhausi lhe strengih of the gronnd. and if sntfered lo gtow may be called garden sins.
The hand antl iho hoe aro lhe histrnmenls for eradicating weeds; yet if ihereis roum between the rows I'or the spade it is well tn nse it.
Never koep yonr cattle short; few farmers can afibrd it. If you starve them they will starve jou.
It will not do to lloe a great field for a Utile crop, nr to mow twenty acics for five loads ol hay. Enrich lhe land and il will pay yon for it. Betier farm Ihirly acres well, than fifly aores by halves.
(ii dry paslnre dig for water on lhe brow ol a hill; springs are mote  frequently near lhe surface on a heighth than in a vale. Rain is cashtn a farmer. The loot of the owner is tho best manure for land.
Cut bushes that you wish to destroy in lhe summer, and wilh a sharp insirument. they will bleed freely and die.
Never plougli in bail wealher, or when the ground is very wei.
Accounts shouUl be kept, dnlailing the ex¬ penses and products of each field.
When an implement is no longer wanied for lhe season, lay it carefully aside, but lir.sl let it be well clcantjil.
Oblain good seed, prepare yonr ground well, sow early, and pay very liule allenlion lo the moon.
Cuilivatc your own heart aright; remember lhat "whalsoevitr a man ijowolh, that nhall he also reap."
Do not begin farming by huiiding an exien¬ sive house, nor a spacious barn, till you have something to slore in il.
Avoid a low antl  damp site for a dwelling
honse.    Buiiil  stiHicienily  dislant from  yonr
baniand stook yaid to avoid acoiilenls by fire.
Keep notes ol all remarkable ovonls on yonr
farm.
Recording even your errors will be ol bcnc¬ fil. fiood fences maku good neighbors. Experimenls^are highly commendable, bill <lo not become an habitual experimenter.
The depreilalions of birds are fully compen¬ sated by the services ihey render in preying upon insecls.
Sheep put into fresh slables are apt to bi^ killed by eaiing loo much giain.
A bare pastnie enriches not lhe soil, nor fallens the animals, nor increases lhe wealth of lhe owner.
One animal well-led is of more value than two poorly kept.
The belter animals can be fed, and lhe more comfortable ihey can be kept, lhe more profilable they are, and all iarmers work for profit.
Sow clover deep: it secures it against lhe drought.
Ground once well plowed is better than ihrice poorly.
Hountifnl crops are more prnlilable Ihan poor ones. Make lhe soil rich, pulverize il well, and keep it clean, and it generally will be prodnctive.
Weeds that grow unmolested aronnd the fencos, slumps and slones, scalier lheir seeds over lhe farm, and are very likely lo grow.
Cows well fed in winter give moie milk in summer.
An ox lhat is in good cnnililinn in lhe spring will perform more labor, and stand lho heal of summer much beiler Ihan one lhat is poor. When yon see the fence down jiut it up; if it remains until lo-morrow the calllo rnay gel over.
What ought lo bn done lo-tlaj', <lo il, for to¬ morrow il may rain.
A sirong horse will work all day wiihoni foo.l, bul keep him al it, and he will uot lasl long.
.\ rii'li snil will produce gnnd ciops wilhont mannrp, bul koep al it, and il will tire.
Tiik Way,'Lawvf.us Use Fk.mai.es.—I in- .'slitnled an actioii for a large aniotitit in the
county of .    'I'he suil was brought upon
a plain promissory nole, which I was assured was founded upon goutt consideration, and I was cniions to know \i-hat defence could be sel up. I wa.-H aware lliai [ Inid to deal with a wily atlver.sary, and when I olfered my nole in evidence, anil closed my case, I wtis more terrified ihtiii surprised when 1 heard him direct the elieriff tn call Mrs. Jackson. She appealed, and to my siirpri.so I beheld a per¬ fect beauty, possessing a sweet countenance, ivilh exquisite form. I saw thai my antago¬ nist had formed the same judgment of human naiure that I hatl, and that he was abont tn make iheespcrimenlof washing away the ob¬ ligation of a note of hand by the lears of a fcm.alR wiini'ss. I knew that noihing but a desperate eiloit conld save my client, and hei testimony must be excluded before she had lime 10 cry.
I rose at once. "I perceive," said I, ad¬ dressing lhe conrt, "that this lady bears the samo name wilh the defendant; I therefore respectfully request lhat she be placed on lhe DoiV dire." This was done. ''Will yoh be kind enough lo saj-, madam, what relation you are lo tho defendani ?'
"Sir," .inswerod tho ladj-, applying a beau¬ tiful embroidered handkerchief to her ej'cs, "I am his injured wife."
"Then, ol conrse, your honor, lhe lady's testimony is inadmissible."
"0, \-pry well," interiiipted my adversary, ••you wish to keep thn truth from lhe jury, do you? ifSentlemen of lho jnry, you see that tcchnii^Alilies aro rr?.sorled to, lo ptoeure a verdict*a.(»ainot my client. I hope yon will tippiecliite il, gentlemen."
liy l,^s tlnie the laily war, abeautiful repre- seitlatioh of Kachel of old ; and one glance at the jury was snfticienl lo convince me that my case was ruined. I tin ned lo mj'client— '¦Vou are gone, my friend," said I.
''Gone!" saitl he,'gone ! my dear sir, don't give up my suil so coolly. I shall be, made a beggar if [ lose this case, and then what will become of mj' wil'« and poor daughters 1"
"0,-.you have daughleis, have yon 1 Run and Wing them my dear Iriend ! If they miue we must couiiteimiiie. Bring them, one .and all!" :
My clienl rushed ont, and as he lived but nexl dnor; he almosi iuslantly relnrned witha half dozen as preiiy girls as could he found anywhere. My antagonist's face fell lo zero. ¦ "May it please your honor," I began, "I desire to offer some rebutting lesiimony."
"Rebutting tesiimony, C ? why yonr ad¬ versary has not bi^eit permitted to examine his witness.    What havc you lo rebut'!"
"A great deal, your honor. The wiiness has given some lostimony. She called hersell the 'iiijiiroil' wife of lho defendant. Injured by whom 1 By my client. Injnred how ! I'y procnring this, tho subjecl maiter of tlte. suil, from llim. Now. sir, I wish lo swear the al¬ fiiclcd daughters of the plaintiff, against tho injured wile of lhe defenilant."
Here my fair witnesses comtncnecd weep¬ ing bitierly, while several oflho jury looked on wilh eviilent commisseration. My Iriumph was complete; hut 1 determined to pay off my legal friend in llis own coin.
"I do tmt seek, sir," coniiuued [, "lotake up the lime of this conti and jury, by administer¬ ing tho oalh to all Ihese wiinesses. I ain afraitl lheir heart rending description of this nefarious traiisaclion (of which, be it remem¬ bered, thoy ditl not know a syllable)  would
Hints about BEDROo.Ms._Thelr small size and their lowness rentier iliein very itisalubii- ous; and lhe case is renderetl woise by clo.(;i' windows antl thick curlnins and lian"in"s wilh which the bc-tls aro often so carelufly surrounded, as to prevent the po.islbility nl lhe air being renewed. The coiLseqiicnce is, lhat we are breaihing vitiated air during lUe gieater part of the night; that is. dnring more than a third pari ofour lives; and thus Ihc period of repose, which is necessary for Ihe renovation of onr menliil and bodily vigor, becomes a source of disease. Sleep, uiidei such circnmsl.ances, is very oflen ilislurbeil, and always much less refreshing than when enjoyed in a well-ventilated apartment; il of¬ len Iiappens, indeed, Ih.il such repose, hisle.id of being followeil by renovated strength and aciivity, is succeeded hy a degiee of heavi¬ ness and languor, which is nol overcome till the person has been some time in a purer air. Nor is this lhe only evil arising from sleeping in ill-venlilated aparimenis. When it is knowu that lho blood undergoes most impor¬ lant changes in ils, circulation Ihrongh the lungs by means of the air which we brealhe, liud that Iheso vital changes can only be ef¬ fecled by Ihe respiration of pure air, il will be easily underslooil how the healthy functions of the lungs must be impeded by inhalln" for many successive hours tho vitial(!ti air of our bedrooms, and how lhe healih mnst bc ns eflectually destroyed by respiring impure air, as by living on unwholesome or unnutrilinns footl. In the case of childienaml young per¬ .sons predispn.sed to cnii.sitmption, It is of slill more urgent consei|nRnce that ihey should breathe pure air by niglii as well as by day, by securing a coitiinuotis renewal of Ihc air in their bedrooms, niirserie.s, school.s, etc.— Let a molher, who has been miule anxious by the sickly looks of herchililron, go from piiie air into their bedroom.'! in lhe morning before a door or window has been opened, and re¬ mark the state of the atmosphere—the close, oppressive, and often feliil odor nf the rooni —and she may cease tn wonder at the pale, sickly aspecl of her children. Lel Iter jay a similar visil some mniiiing after means have been taken by the chimney venltlnltir, or oth¬ erwise, to seizure a fnll supply and coiilinnnl renewal of the air in the bt^lronms during the night, and she will be able to accnunl for lite more healthy appearance of her children, which is sine to bo lhe con.sequcnce of siiji- plyiitg Ihem with pnre air to brealhe.—Sir James Clark on " Thc Infinenceof Climate.''
ExiiAi'STio.s OF Talk,—Iiow long lhe lamp of conversaiion holds nul Iobum, beiween two persons only, is curiously snt tlown in the loi¬ lowing passago from Count Gonfallonier's ac¬ connt of his iinprisonment.
" I am an ohl man now; yet bv fifieen years my soul is younger than my body ! Fif¬ teen yeais I existed, for IJiliil not live—it was not life—in tho self same dungeon, len feel square !

Dancrer or Ice Cream.
The editorof a Portland paper has had a visit from a Vciinonler named Ethan Spike, who ilescribed his first and lasl experiment on ice cream aa follows:
"One day lowards sundown, I was goin' by a shop iu Middle slreel that looked wonderful slick : there wasallmannerof cani'y and josa- minta an' what-nots at the winder; an' then theie was signs with gold leiters on 'em hang¬ in' round the doot, tellin' how tltey sold soda, mead an' ice cream llieie. I sez lew myself, —I've heein a good deal tell about this here ice cream, an' now if I won'l see what they ate m'Uilo of. So 1 put my hands intew my pockets, and walked in kinder careless and sez tew a chap standin'behind the counter,— Do you keep any ice creams here?

It consists, as we are informnil, of a remarkable cavern discovered in lhe lime¬ slone quarry of Mr. John Kennedy, nf that place. This cavern is IGO feet in loni>th and sixty feet wide, antl twenty lo fnity feet deep. The interinr shows snme beantiful specimens of nature's architectural power. Thero are arches, piers antl cornices, c.xhibiiinj; almost the same regularity ol workmanship as Ihonali cvecnted by the hand of man after the strict¬ est rules of art. When lighted, the scene is beantiful. Forty or fifty lights splendidly irradiates the scene, and gives a magnificent efTect. Such a beauiiful nalural curiosity will no doubt attiact much attentiou.
