Trading On Freemasonry.

TRADING ON FREEMASONRY .

[ COMMUNICATED . ] MR . SAMUEL WELLER jun . would have made fine capital out of a conversation I overheard a few days since in the parlour-priced side of a public-house , for although a thread of tho story contained all the elements of grim humour , yet there were mingled among them touches

of tender pathos to prove the veracity of the old adage , " There ' s many an honest heart that beats beneath a ragged coat . " Not that the conversationalists were ragged in the literal sense of the term ; quite the contrary . Botih were

attired with scrupulous neatness , in sober black , albeit of the " old fogey " cut , with deep-breasted shirt fronts of spotless white , potential cravats , and the old-fashioned seals hanging at their fobs . They bad evidently struck up an old

acquaintanceship after many years of absence , and addressed themselves in easy terms of familiarity over their evening " nips , " as though the pleasure o £ meeting as they had not done since they were " boys together "

was mutual and eminently gratifying . After a sanguinarytussle as to who should have the pleasure of standing the first drink , the chat began , naturally about " old times , " now laughing boisterously , now shaking their heads

mournfully , the old " cockalorums —the epithet was mutuall y applied—ran over the gamut of friends they had known in earlier days , and the scenes through which they had passed together ere Time had laid his " fiery finger " on their

brows . The elder gentleman explained that the said Time had been hard upon him , for a stiff attack of " roomatiz " had laid him low for many months , and it was as much as he could do to hobble , even with " two sticks . " After the

preliminaries to which I have alluded , the junior party , addressing the other with affected juvenility , and a gentle slap on tho shoulder , exclaimed , " And now , old gen'ieman , how are you getting along ? " i [ Oh ! purty well , "

replied the old ' an , " except for this ' ere sciatica , which bothers me fearfully at times . Can't grumble , you know , tor tho' I don't do much iu the bizness line myself now , my

son Tom is all there at it ; and it is only on special occasions as he wants me to help ; that is , except for my advice , you know . Wo had two'grovvns' yesterday . "
