Poetry .

MASOXIC AXTIIEV . God save our gracious Queen , Long live our noble Queen . God save the Queen , Send her victorious , Happy and glorious , Long to reign over us ,

God save the Queen , Hail ! mystic light divine , May'st thou ne ' er cease to shine , Over this land . Wisdom in thee wo find , Beauty and strength combined , Masons are ever join'd

In heart and hand . Come , then , ye sons of light , Iu joyous strains unite , God save the Queen . Long may Victoria reign . Queen of the azure main—Masons resound the strain—God save the Queen .

Regret.

REGRET .

By T . J . SWAIX . What is it often o ' er us steals , That we would fain forget ? What is it each one sometimes feels ? The sadness of regret . The best of us have often err'd , The wisest gone astray ;

None , truly it may be averr'd , Our Father ' s will obey . We may intend to act ari ght , And be with talent blest , But life's afflictions are not li ght , And oft our courage test . We think " could we the future know , How different things would be ; How much less care—how much less woe , Might be our destiny . "

Regret.

Vain wish— 'tis order'd otherwise , And for our good—but yet We crave for what His grace denies , And suffer with regret . "Oh had we but avoided this , Oh had we not done that , We miht have reach'd a throne of bliss .

g On which no moital sat . Delusive thought , we shall not find Perfection here below , Although the wise are oft so blind As not that truth to know . Vexations must by all be shar'd ,

From trials no state is free ; And we should be content , if spared A fate of misery . Then let us strive to act life ' s part With zeal , and do our best , And leave to One who knows each heart-The ord'ring of the rest .

Not grieve o'er trifles past recall , But rather meekly pray , In future trials that may befall , For guidance on our way . Rememb'riug , too , the many joys That render life still dear ; Fortrulydiscontent alloys

, , The loftiest career . With Faith and Hope—by Heaven's aid .. Each sorrow may be met , And 'tis ingratitude to shade Life ' s sweets by vain regret .
