' To arms , most venerable Masons . ' The oath was then administered to the candidate in the Egyptian language , as the Grand Sophos stated : —

1 1 , Marmaduke Forester , a neophyte candidate for Freemasonry , solemnly swear unto yon , masters and brethren , by the holy pyramids of Egypt , and by the goddess Isis — that — ' That I nev , ' said tho Sophos , speaking as if it wero all one word .

' Thatinev , ' answered Forester . ' Erivillma , ' continued the Sophos . ' Erwillma , ' responded the neophyte . ' Keafoo , ' said the voice . ' Keafoo , ' replied the candidate . ' Lofmyselfanymorebloal . '

The candidate reiterated the last word with difficulty and some indistinctness . ' Edbreth , ' said the Grand Sophos sharply . 1 Edbreth , ' repeated our friend . ' Ren , ' muttered the headless one . ' Ren , ' said Forester , trembling .

' Slochunvpolhjwog and hachidandering !!! ' the Sophos uttered in a loud voice .

* It is done , brethren . Blindfold the neophyte ! In a minute Forester is seized from behind—his hands are tied , a bandage is placed over his eyes . At the same time a light is produced and a sound of suppressed laughter is heard . Our hero ' s fears are , however , too keen to allow of his taking any notice . " " Mildred , " another tale , is well told ; and there is a neatly-written

account of " Gloucester Cathedral , " which originally appeared in the Freemason . Some of the songs and ballads are tuneful and pathetic , such as " Alone , " a Mother ' s Song , and " To my Boy "—aged four . However , we will not enlarge further on this series of tales and poems . We have already said , and we have great pleasure in repeating , that they are deserving of eulogy .

Cassell ' s Cooktry ( containing 900 receipts ) . — Messrs . Cassell , Fetter , and Galpin have just commenced the reissne of their wellknown Cookery Book . The present edition , whioh is the third , will be published in sixpenny monthly parts , each part containing 96 pages , with numerous illustrations . The publication is intended to run over thirteen months , so that for a small outlay every

household will be able to secure one of the best , if not the best , book that is pnblished on the subject of cookery . We all know how easy it is for the best dinner to be spoilt in the cooking , and therefore we should hail with pleasure any attempt to lessen the chance of mishap in the kitchen . For ourselves we do not profess to be adepts in the

art of cookery , but the way in which Messrs . Cassell give instructions leads us to believe that the preparation of the choicest dishes is an easy matter , and almost induces us to try our hand . We shall certainly take an opportunity of having some of their instructions practically tested .

Ward and Lock's Universal Instructor , or Self . Culture for all . — " Above all things study " is the quotation with which Messrs . Ward and Lock head the monthly issues of this work , and from the contents of the first two parts now before us , we are inclined to believe that a careful perusal of its pages would amply repay the trouble it would

entail . We are told that the work is to be completed in 36 monthly parts at sixpence each ( weekly numbers one penny ) , and if the same care is bestowed on future issues as is apparent in the two now under notice , the work will form a valuable addition to the store of entertaining educational books .

Cassell's Popular Educator . —A new and thoroughly revised edition of this work is now in course of publication . The favourable reception accorded to the former edition is the best testimony that can be adduced as to tbe utility and value of this undertaking , which we hope will meet with the success whioh attended the previous issue of the work .

London Opinion , the first monthly part of which is now issued by Messrs . Dean and Son , has for its programme the discussion of current events and matters which occur in our midst , on what may be termed the advanced education principle . The subjects treated of in the first number are varied , some of them being approached with ability and tact .

The second annnal ball given in connection with the Dalhousie Lodge , No . 860 , is announced to take place on Tuesday , the 18 th January , at the Freemasons' Tavern , Great Queen-street , W . C , for which occasion Bro . Dan Godfrey ' s band , under his personal direciion , is retained .

Those of our readers who attended last year ' s ball , at the Holborn Town Hall , will not need any remarks from us to induce them to decide on attending this one . Everything passed off so well on that occasion , and all seemed so thoroughly to enjoy themselves , that we cannot wish

for a more successful gathering . The names of the Stewards for next January ' s meeting are a sufficient guarantee that nothing will be wanting on the part of the promoters to ensure enjoyment , and all we can wish them is , that they will have a large company to support them .

The ball will not be restricted to Masons , and the price of the tickets—which may be obtained of Bro . W . G . Dickins , Hon . Sec , 16 Norfolk-street , Strand , and others —are , for gentlemen , 12 s 6 d ; ladies , 10 s 6 d ; double ticket 21 s , to include supper and light refreshment during the evening .
