A Masonic Alphabet.

A MASONIC ALPHABET .

III . —CHATtm . A Mason's crown is a noble crown , Beset with resplendent gems ; Which , like the brig ht-hued flow ' rets sweet , Hang firm on their golden stems .

Their radiant gleams , as a halo shows , O ' er the worthy Freemason ' s head ; And their dazzling lig ht as a beacon glowa On the path which his footsteps tread .

The jewels are virtues , and feelings rare , And their blessiugs with tenderness fall ; Each one to humanity carries a share , Bnt " CHARITY " ' clipses them all .

IV . —DUTY . The Sailor traverses the tireless wave—The Soldier marches o ' er the shifting sand , They forward press with fearless hearts and brave , To guard the interests of their native land .

At Duty's call they ronse with eager pride , And spring with ardour for tho work or fray ; 'Tis Duty bids them cast all self aside , And face each danger , be it where it may . So with the Mason ; when his footsteps tread

The Bacred precincts aud the chequer'd floor : His duty lies before him plainly spread , And instincts deepen , lightly felt

before—For God , his duty speaks in words of fire—His neighbour , too , she gives no simple part —• And for himself will constantly require The steady watching of both head and heart . WM . H . ORE , Grand Bare —Freemason ' s Journal .
