MRS. CAUDLE'S CURTAIN LECTURES.
LBCTOBB VIII.
.Wr. ('audit has been made a Maton *fr?. ( audi
indignant and curious.
k "Now, Mr. Caudle?Mr. Caudle, I say: oh! jroi
can't be asleep already,I know?Now, what I meai
to say is this; there 'a no use, none at all, in our hav
ing any disturbance about the matter , but at laa
s my mind's made up, Mr. Caudle; 1 shall leave you
, Either I know all you've been doing to-night, or to
morrow morning 1 quit the house. No, no; there 'i
an end of the marriage state, I think?an end of al
confidence between man and wife?if a husband 'i
to have secrets and keep 'em all to himself. Prett]
secrets they must be, when his own wife can't knov
? M.v* fit fnr anv /Imrant nanu^n In Irnnur I ?n
ure, if lliat ' the ca?e. Now, Caudle, don't let u
quarrel; there 'a a good soul, tell me what 'a it al
about? A pack of nonsense, I dare aay; still?no
litat 1 care much about it?still, I should like h
know. There's a dear. Eh? Oh, don't tell mi
there's nothing in it; I know better. I'm not i
fool, Mr. Cauale; I know there's a good deal in it
Now, Caudle, just tell me a little bit of it. I 'n
sure 1 'd tell you anything. You know I would
Well ?v v
" Caudle, you 're enough to vex a saint! Now
don't you think you 're going to sleep ; becaua
you 're not. Do you suppose 1 'd ever suffered yot
to go and be made a mason, if I didn H suppose
was to know the secret, too? Not that it's anythinj
to know, I dare aay; and that' why I 'in determines
to know it.
"But I know what it is ; oh yes, there can be ni
doubt. The secret is, to ill-use poor women; to ty
rannize over 'em; to make 'em your slaves; especi
ally your wives. It must be something of the sort
or you wouldn't be ashamed to have it known
What's right and proper never need be done in ac
tret. It's an insult to a woman for a man to be i
free-mason, and let his wife know nothing of it
But, poor soul! she's sure to know it somehow?
for nice husbands they all make. Yes, yes ; a par
of the secret is to think belter of all the world thai
their own wives and families. 1 'm sure men havi
quite enough to care for?that is, if they act prop
erly?to care for them thev have at home. The]
can 1 have much to spare for the world besides. _
"And I suppose they call you Brother Caudle
A pretty brother, indeed! Going and dreasingvour
selr up in an apron, like a turnpike man?for that 'i
what you look like. And I should like to know
what the apron *s for? There must be something ir
it not very respectable, 1 'm sure. Well, I onlj
wish I was queen for a day or two. I'd put an enc
to free-masonry, and all such trumpery, lknow.
"Now, come, Caudle, don't let's quarrel. Eh
You 're not in pain, dear? What's it all about
What are you lying laughing there at? But I'm i
fool to trouble my head about you.
"And you 're not going to let me know the secret
eh? You mean to say,?you 're not? Now, Cau
die, you know it 'a a hard matter to put me in a pa*
sion?not that I care about the secret itself: 110, ]
wouldn't give a button to know it, for it's all non
sense, I'm sure. It isn't the secret I care about
it 'a the slight, Mr. Caudle; it 'a the studied insul
that a man paya to his wife, when he thinks of go
ing through the world keeping something to himael
which he won't let her know. Man and wife one
indeed! I should like to know how that can b<
when a man's a mason?when he keeps a secre
that sets him and his wife apart? Ha, you mer
make the laws, and so you talte good care to havi
all the best of 'em to yourselves ; otherwise a wo
man ought to be allowed a divorce when a man be
comes a mason. When he's got a sort of corner
cupboard in his heart?a seciet place in his mindthat
his poor wife isn't allowed to rummage!
"Cauale. you shan't close your eyes for a weekno,
you shan't?unless you tell me some of it
Come, there's a good creature; there's a love. 1 'ir
sure, Caudle, I wouldn't refuse you anything?and
you know it, or ought to know it by this time. 1
only wish I had a secret! To whom should I think
of confiding it, but to my dear husband? I should
be miserable to keep it to myself, and you know it.
Now, Caudle!
"Was there ever such a man ? A man, indeed !
A brute!?yes, Mr. Caudle, an unfeeling, brutal
creature, wnen you might oblige me, and you
won't. I'm sure 1 don't object to your being a
mason ; not at all, Caudle ; I dare say it's a very
good thing; I dare say it is?it's only your making
a secret of it that vexes me. But you '11 tell me?
you '11 tell your own Margaret? You won 'l! You 're
a wretch, Mr. Caudle.
"But I know why: oh, yes, I can tell. The facl
is. von 're ashamed to let me know what a fool thev
've been making of you. That 's it. You, at youi
time of life?the father of a family. I should be
ashamed of myself, Caudle.
"And I suppose you '11 be going to what you cal
your lodge every night, now. Lodge, indeed! Pretty
place it must be, where they don't admit women
.Nice goings on, 1 dare say. Then you call one another
brethren. Brethren ! I'm sure you'd relations
enough; you didn 'l want any more.
"But 1 know what all this masonry's about.. It 'i
only an excuse to get away from your wives anc
families, that you may feast and drink together
that's all. That's the secret. And to abuse wo
men,?as if they were inferior animals, and not t<
be trusted. That's the secret; and nothing else.
"Now, Caudle, don't let us quarrel. Yes, I knnv
you 're in pain. Still, Caudle, my love; Caudle
Dearest, I say! Caudle! Caua?"
" I recollect nothing more," says Caudle, " fo
here, thank Providence! 1 fell asleep."
Twelve month Clocks.?A correspondent o
the Newark (N. J.) Daily Advertiser says: "Yoi
will be glad to know that our friend, Mr. Crane, ha;
recently added another ingenious contrivance to hii
twelve-month clock. It Aows now the day of th<
month, and also the year, and exhibits the sun anc
moon rising and setting every dav in the year, will
the most undeviating accuracy and regularity. Thi
moon, as she revolves in her orbit, is made also t<
revolve upon her axis, showing every day, witl
equal accuracy, her different phases. The appara
tus used for tnispurpose is exceedingly simple, ant!
is by no means liable to get out of order."
Westward, ho??The St. Louis Reporter says
"Almost every steamer which arrives from th<
Ohio, brings a large number of emigrants from the
old States, who are seeking homes in the new.
The rich prairies and fertile bottom lands of the
West arc becoming settled, and now, we presume,
full one-half of the American population is on this
side of the Alleghanies."

Mr. A. Whitney, of New York, who recently
made known the project of constructing a railroac
from Lake Michigan to the Pacific ocean, has an'
nounced hta intention of forming a party, to paei
over, and examine, and partially survey the propa
sed route; and for this purpose he will leave New
York on the 20th inst. for Green Bay, follow thi
in ire down to Milwmukie, thence west to the Mis
souri river, and return by way of St. Louis. Mr.
Whitney invites companions in his trip.
IMPROVED REFRIGERATOR?The sub
scriber would call the attention of citizens to ai
improved Refrigerator manufactured by him, whicl
for utility and economy surpasses all others. A
small quantity of ice will keep a reservoir of wate
{attached) perfectly cool; the ice not mixing witl
the water, it is kept pure; the same ice keeps every
thing cool in the refrigerator, and needs but to u
seen to be appreciated. Coolers for water can be at
tached to ola refrigerators, at short notice, by
