Bro . Beever then proposed the toast of the Ladies , saying that this duty , though pleasant , waa a very awkward one for a bachelor to perform . After a few apropos remarks upon this subject he concluded by giving a hearty greeting to all assembled . Bro . Carse , in a very t * rsi and dignified speech , responded on behalf of the fair sex , stating that ho possessed one especial
qualification for the duty—he was still single . But though not married , this did not militate ngnicst tbe fact that he admired the ladie ? , and perhaps equally ns well us lio did tho married men . Bro . James Morrison S . W . proposed the toast of the gentlemen guests , and expressed a hope that should those who woro not Masons participate in next year ' s pic-nio , it would be in the character of brethren .

BY BRO . CUAS . F . FORSHAW , LL . D ., 295 , 1214 , 2417 ( E . G . ) , 24 , 761 ( S . O . ) MUSIC .
Craftsmen love music—for in her sweet strains We always find a wondrous soothing power ; "lis not the idle fancy of an hour ; It thrills our souls with joy and fills our veins With wild emotion , and makes cares and pains Last bnt as long as April ' s passing shower . We are by music like a drooping flower ,
Refreshed and brightened by celestial rains . She charms our hearts and makes them pant with glee , And with delirious gladuess fills the breast , Sends to us comfort and restoring test , Making our sorrows and our longings flee . And when we worship at her graceful shrine
She gives to ns a solace half-divine . Winder House , Bradford . 12 tb July 1893 .
