GLEANINGS .

At tiio liieeLinr- of tho Grand Lodge of Missouri , in October last , tlio Grand Master reported having arrested tlio charters of threo Lodges for not inflicting any penalty after having found members guilty of un-Masonic conduct . In connection with his report in theso cases , the Grand Master said : " Brethren , as I am in tho act of

retiring from this ofJieo , I desiro to send through yon , horo assembled , a special last messigo to tho absent brethren of every Lodgo in this Grand Jurdisdiction ; it is this : If you lovo Free masonry , punish thoso who violate her laws and tratnplo her sacred precepts beneath their feet

. At tho annual meeting of the Graud Lodgo of California , a propo . sitiou was presented to donate ono hundred dollars to tho wifo of a Mason , who had deserted her , in order to enable tlio lady to return to her friends in the East . The Committee on Finance reported

advcrsely , but proposed that a collection be taken up in behalf of tho unfortunate lady . This was done , and when tho money was counted out there was found ono hundred and ono dollars . Wo present this kern solely for tho benefit ; of snch ladies as arc continually asserting that there is no good in Masonry .

ISTOT wou ' i'ir "itircii . — "That religion wlucn is paeon on Sundays and laid a =. ide ou Mondays is nofc worth much . That Masonry which is worn in i . ' m L ' . v . lg •, ; -. ; ); . i , and , as i laid-uff garinoi ;!; , is left behind thero , is not worth much cither . " Thus truly has tho New York Dispatch spolcon .
