Masonic Sayings And Doings Abroad.

afc which about two hundred Sir Kni ghts sat down . Sir Kni ght Macoy vivaciously elucidated . The Rt . Em . Com . Heman Ely , 33 , has appointed V . Em . Er . Robert Ramsay , Grand

Representative of the Grand Commandery of Ohio , at the Grand Prior of Canada , and the Grand Prior of Canada has sent a commission to Sir Kt . B . D . Babeock 32 ° , of Cleveland , as Grand Representative of the Grand Priory of the Dominion near the Grand Commandery of Ohio .

Cceur de Lion Commandery , No . 23 , Knights Templar , of New York , is one of the best of this jurisdiction , and meets on the 2 nd and 4 th Monday of each month . The Sir Kni ghts who compose this Commandery are active , energetic , and take great

pride in being fully informed , equipped , and having the work performed as it ought to be . Not only so , but they infuse into the minds of their candidates the same spirit . At the next Conclave , after having been Knighted , Sirs Joseph J . Burnet , E . T . Burke , John

B . Jackson , G . H . Jackson , and Gilbert J . Burnet , appeared in full uniform . The first , Sir Joseph J . Burnet , had on a magnificent one , the sword alone costing 100 dollars . —Landmark .

The Lodge " Szechenyi , " at Arad , Hungary , has , in consequence of the removal of the Grand Lodge of Italy , at Elorence , to Rome , issued the following circular : " By order of the Grand Master , L . Erapolli , the Grand Lodge of Italy , hitherto located at Elorence , will be removed to Rome , the present capital of Italy ;'

and gives vent also to the following : " Our institution has been for centuries not only abhorred , but even madly denounced by Rome . Thousands of our brethren suffered all sorts of miseries—nay , even death was inflicted upon them by Romish fanaticism . But in a few days shall the light of Masonry spread

its effulgence , and its rays Avill illuminate a night of superstitious prejudices , and masonic Avorks will dispel the deep-rooted antipathy . " Hardly , if eA'er , can a greater triumph be recorded in the records of Masonry . On the ruins of a fled terrestrial power , building upon the exploded air-castle of human frenzy , rises ,

Phmnix-like , the glory of Masonry . Not mere chance , not a constellation of poAver , has wrought such a change . No , it was to be . The " when " was only a question of time . What by degrees is abhorred by every intelligent individual—nay , by nations—must crumble , must become extinct ; and so it has come to

pass that the Eternal City shall henceforth be the place whence the light of Masonry shall shine over all Die Baulmtte .

CORRESPONDENCE .

The - Editor is not responsible for the opinion * expressed by Correspondent * TO InE BDITOB OP THE EHEEJIASOIfS' HASAZI ! fB AWD MASOSIO MIBBOB . BASTARD MASONRY . —THE LITTLE TESTIMONIAL .

Dear Sir and Brother , —I enclose you a circular referring to the above , and which , greatly to my surprise , I have received in my capacity of Worship ful Master of a Lodge . I heartily endorse all that your correspondents have previously written in the Magazine upon this subject , as I am of opinion that this testimonial maniaif persevered inwill serve as a

pre-, , cedent for other clerks in the Grand Secretary ' s office , neglecting their duties , for the faithful discharge of which they receive the money of the Craft . There is one particular in connection Avith the circular in question , ( and , by the way , one of the Hon . Sees ., whose names are appended to itfigures as being the

, W . M . of two Craft Lodges at tbe same time , ) to which I wish to draw attention . The circular in question starts by saying that the untiring zeal , & c , of Bro . Little in the cause of Ereemasonry has been evinced more especially in the Redcross and other branches of the higher degrees Now , I am a very old member of

the 30 th deg . A & A Rite , and have now before me '' A List of members of the Higher Degrees of the A & A Rite , as copied from the Register . " I have perused it carefully , and fail to find the name of Bro . Little in it . Why then this allusion - ' n the circular to the higher degrees ? May I ask the promoters of the intended testimonial if their intention has been not

to mislead , Why they have made mention of the higher degrees . Surely , if the " Rite of Misraim " is meant , we are not to be insulted by being asked to unbutton our pockets in support of what your transatlantic contemporary terms " bastard Masonry ! " If this is what Masonry is coming to in England—this flagrant prostitution to be encouraged under tho very

eye of grand Lodge , we must soon expect to lose the respect of sister Grand Lodges . Truly , Masonry in England at the present moment is , in many respects , on its trial ; it behoves us , therefore , to gird up our loins . Let us " Awake ! arise ! or be for ever fallen !" A W . M . and Member of the 30 ° ''

Not until passion and prejudice , prida and ambition , avarice and selfishness , are expunged and totally blotted from the soul , and the law of universal love written by the purifying and enlightening- influences of tire Holy Spirit upon the heart , will men learn to do justice , loA-e mercy , walk humbly before God , and exemplify iu their lives that great fundamental principle of the Gospel , of " doing unto others as you hould have others do unto you . "

IN early youth , while yet we live among those wo love , we love without restraint ; and our hearts overflow iu every look , word and action . But when we enter into tlie world , and are repulsed by strangers and forgotten by friends , we grow more and more timid in our approaches , even to those we love best . How delightful to us , then , are the caresses of children ! All sincerity and affection , they fly into our arms , and then only do we feel the renewal of our first confidence and first pleasure .

Fat is first made into waste tallow , perhaps hy boiling down , and then treated as refuse and meritoriously turned to use . —Food , Journal
