Connaught Lodge of Freemasons , for the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , 50 guineas ; to the Andereida Lodge , for the same Institution , 25 guineas ; and to the Tyrian Lodge , for the same Institution , 25 guineas ., We congratulate the Benevolent on this acquisition to its Funds .

Some authorities do not consider the explanation of the incised circles , or cup-markings on stones , dealt with by such good antiquarians as Greenwell , Graves , and Gardner Wilkinson as satisfactory . These marks are found in

Cornwall , at Dartmoor , and in Argyllshire . They mean something , or the pains would not have been taken to cut them . This is a fine topic for Freemasonry . Marks of one size and shape , apparent on the oldest rocks of England , from one end

to the other , point to a guild or brotherhood , at any rate , says the " Cornishman . " Who were they ? Of course Freemasons' marks were left on dressed stones by mediaeval Masons .

To The Memory Of Bro. Robert Burns.

****************** To tho Memory of Bro . Robert Burns .

WRITTEN AT HIS TOMB . IMMORTAL BARD , who did ' st so sweetly sing Of Caledonia ' s glories and her pride ,

'Shrined in her memory shall thy name abide Long as Fame ' s temple doth with praise-notes ring . The wondering nations bow , and tribute bring ' To thee whose Spirit—on the farther side Of that dark River o ' er whose rolling tide

All souls must I'ass—doth praise th' Eternal King . Genius of Scotland , never did ' st thou cast Thy mantle o ' er a prophet worthier thee .

Thy Ploughman Bard , now with the heavenly throng—Nature ' s own Poet , simplest Son of Song—¦ Hath showed the world the might of minstrelsy , Whose rule transcendant shall the spheres outlast .
