The Bear And The Bees.
THE BEAR AND THE BEES .
A BALEFUL BALLAD .
" BEAKS , it is well known , have a groat fondness for honey . Bruin , on one occasion , fonnd a hive in the hollow of an old tree . In his eagerness to rifle the contents he overturnod it , when the insects , exceedingly irritated , stung him about the muzzle and paws so
fiercely , that , snorting with the pain of physical inilammation , and the chagrin of mental disappointment , he had , with shame and anguish , woofully to confess that his greed and cariosity had perhaps cost him too dear . "—JEsop ' s Fables .
" But , snug in her hive , the Queen Bee was alive , And 'buz' was the word in the Island . " Allusion to the defeat of the Spanish Armada in the old ballad of " The tight little Island . " I led a very happy life ,
I never wanted cash , For joint stock schemes were always rife , And capitalists rash ; " A far cry to Lochiel" when they thought they'd " struck ilo , " A long day ' ere impending smash .
I had a very merry time , I knew no sense of care , For the chink of gold was my matin chime , And cheques formed my vesper fare ; And I fonnd it my lines to live up to the nines Whether as bull or bear .
One day I spied a vein of gold , I saw oi polloi derided The pabulum of news , that old Respected sheets provided , So each week to purvey a full flavoured relay Of " Society " talk I decided .
But in the dreary season , Oh ! Material to obtain For hebdomadal copy , where to go , Ah ! how I racked my brain ! Lo ! So-ci-e-ty had gone off on the spreo , And its small talk—it didn't remain .
A bull , one day , I thought of the bear , Who , with no need of money , Desiderated , of course you ' re aware A good tuck out of honey ; The Freemason's hive , I reflected ' s alive , And the secrets , some tell me , are fanny
But how to find the hive , and get At all its hidden store , Why , book-stalls are extant as yet , Tomes to be had galore , And a shilling would buy all I craved to supply Ample " copy " for Freemasons' lore .
So the hive I found , and planted my paw ( I thought I was cutting a figure ) On what I conceived were the secrets , their law Guarded with vigilant rigour ; But , "buz , " was the shout , and the "varmint" swarmed out , And they stung me with valour and vigour .
And now I wander by day and by night , And my pen I ' m compelled to shackle , For my eyes are—both—bunged , and my nose is a sight , While my tongue is scarce able to cackle ; And that is the plight I ' m reduced to—poor wight—Throngh Freemasonry trying to tackle !
HOLLOWAX s PILLS . —The hour of danger . —Disease commonly comes on with slight symptoms , which , when neglected , increase in extent , and gradually grow dangerous—a condition which betrays the grossest remissness—when these Pills , taken in accordance with their accompanying directions , would not only have checked , but conquered the incipient disorder . Patients dailv
forward details of the most remarkable and instructive cases in which timely attention to Holloway's advice has undoubtedly saved them from severe illness These Pills act primarily on the digestive organs , which thoy stimulate when slow and imperfect ; and , secondly , upon the blood , which is thoronghly purmed by them , whence is derived the general tone they impart , and their power of subjugating hypochondriacism , dyspepsia , and nervous complaints .
The Bear And The Bees.
Our advertising columns contain an announcement of an intended tour to Paris and Switzerland by a private Masonic party under the personal conductorship of Bro Oscar Dietrich , for many years conductor for Messrs Cook and Son , and now acting in that capacity for Mr . 0 .
H . Oaygill . From the programme submitted for tho consideration of intending tourists , in this instance accompanied by ladies , and tho moderate inclusive terms during the period of travel , extending over a fortnight from the 15 th September next , we can scarcely imagine a more
delightfu' and inexpensive opportunity of making acquaintance with the beautiful scenery of Switzerland and tho gaiety of the French metropolis . A personal knowledge of Bro . Dietrich , and of his excellent qualifications for the conductorship of such a genial party as this is certain
to be , causes mixed emotions of pleasure and regret . Pleasure to know that those who comprise the limited number of tourists must of necessity experience the most thorough enjoyment under his guiding influence , and regret that the exigencies of onr " desk and office " preclude the
possibility of our sharing in the gratification which will be their portion . May health and the best of spirits accompany the party during their travel , and may they return with minds and bodies invigorated by the contemplation of exquisite scenery and the inhalation of the purest atmosphere . So mote it be !
The next meeting of the Hilda Rose Croix Chapter ( Bro . the Hon . W . T . Orde-Powlett M . W . S . ) will be held in the Eboracurn Lodge Rooms , Queen ' s Hotel , York , on Friday evening next .
On Saturday , the lGth inst ., a meeting of the Yorkshire College of Rosicrucians was held , by kind , permission of tho W . M . of the St . Oswald ' s Lodge , in the Masonic Rooms , Pontefract . Papers were read by Frater T . B . Whytehead ,
on " Pontefract aud its Castle , " and by Frater Dr . Thomas , on " Some of tho Wonderful Organs and Mechanisms to be found in the Human and other Bodies , " and the Praters were afterwards most hospitably entertained at tea by W . Bro . T . W . Tew D . P . G . M . for West Yorkshire .
In Memoriam.
In Memoriam .
We record with deep regret the death , at tho early age of thirty-two years , of Bro . William George Wingrove , which event occurred at Isleworth on the 20 fch ult . By many of tho brethren Bro . Wingrove will be remembered as the cheery proprietor of the Pier Hotel at Greenhithc , and
those who had the good fortune to attend any of the numerous pleasure parties which were wont to assemble at that favourite resort last year will call to mind the genial and courteous young host who exerted himself so assiduously in ministering to their comfort and enjoyment . Last
year Bro . Wingrove was elected to the highest position in his Lodge , the Emulation , No . 209 , at Dartford , and carried out his duties in a manner that was highly creditable to himself and most satisfactory to the brethren , who at the termination of his year of office presented him with a
valuable Past Master ' s jewel . In the early part of tho present year , however , Bro . Wingrove purchased the interest in the Northumberland Arms Hotel at Isleworth , and the improvements he effected in that fine old-fashioned establishment bade fair to win back to it a popularity that had of
late years considerabl y waned . He was , however , not permitted to see the issue of his well-intentioned efforts , for after a brief illness he was taken , leaving a wife and several children to mourn their loss . Deceased was
genuinely beloved and respected by all who knew him , and by none have more heartfelt regrets been expressed than by those brethren amongst whom he took so leading and so active a part .
The Masonic symbols and ceremonies point to God . AVithout God these things are unmeaning . So it is with tho principles of Masonry and its history . " The supreme Architect , " as Ho is termed in tho prayers and dedications of Masonry , is God . Strike out God , and
1 recmasonry has no object . It is not a temperance society , it is not a benefit distributing society , it is a society whose principles are emanations from God . Therefore profanity in your members is a shameful vice , and the profane brother is to he disciplined . —Bob Morris .
