HOLIOWAT ' S OiimrsifT AJTD Puts . —Diseases of the mosfc formidable anti chronic characters have been cured by Holloway ' s remedies . Ulcerations which havo proved themselves incurable by any other known means hnve healed kindly under the purifying and regenerating influence of this excellent Ointment . Sprains , stiff joints , contracted muscles , and glandular swellings can be most safely and effectually healed by Holloway ' s Ointment and Pills , which can clo no harm under any circumstances . Neither of these medicaments has anything deleterious in its composition ; both are essentially purifying and strengthening in their nature . The combined power of these noble remedies enables them successfully to cope with most descriptions of impurities , and to cure , or at least relieve , most varieties of diseases .

Secretary , enclosing a letter from a former annuitant , addressed to the Grand Master , praying for his Royal Highness ' s influence with the Committee to get the annuity restored , and which appeal had been forwarded to the Grand Secretary . The Chairman explained that the
brother , -whose letter was before them , had , upon being convicted and imprisoned for a month for pawning Masonic jewels , which were entrusted to him as Tyler of a Lodge , been erased from the list of annuitants , ancl that there were other matters against him besides , in the face of large
benefits received by him and his family from Grand Lodge and * the Masonic Institutions . Under these circumstances , the Committee declined to re-open the question . The Secretary said with regard to a Steward who was reported
for not paying in £ 40 he had collected , that he had been in communication with that brother ' s Province , and there was a well-grounded expectation that the money would be paid forthwith . Three petitions ( one brother and two widows ) were considered and approved .

T ^ HE Rev . Mr .

By the help of a friend , Who assistance did lend , I succeeded an entrance to gain , Was received in the West , By command from tho East , But not without feeling some pain .
Here my conscience was taught , With a moral quite fraught , With sentiments holy and trne ; Then onward I travelled . To see it unravelled , What Hiram intended to do .
Very soon to the East I made known my request , And " light" by command did attend , When , lo ! I perceived , In due form revealed ; A Master , and Brother , and Friend ,
Thus far I have stated , And simply related , What happened when I was made free , But I ' vo " passed " since then , And was " raised " tip again , To a sublime and ancient degree .
Then onward I marched , Thafc I might be " Arch'd . " And to find out those treasures long lost , * When , behold a bright flame , From tbe midsfc of which came A voice which my ears did accost .
Through the " vails I then went , And succeeded at length The " Sanctum Sanctorum" to find ; By the " Signet" I gained , And quickly obtained , Employment which suited my mind .
In the depths I then wrought , And most carefully sought , For treasures so long hidden there ; And by labour and toil , I discovered rich spoil ,
Which was kept by the craft with due care . Having thus far arrived , I further contrived , Among valiant Knights to appear j And as Pilgrim and Knight , I stood ready to fight , No recreant foo did I fear .
For the widow distressed There ' s a word in my breast , For tho helpless aud orphan I fe § l ; And my sword I could draw , To maintain the pure law , Which the duty of Masons reveal .
Thus havo I revealed ( Yet wisely concealed ) , What tho " free and accepted " well know ; I am one of the band , Who will faithfully stand , As a brother , wherever I go .
