Installation Meetings, &C.
ho hoped to do in tho future what had received their approbation in the past . Bro . Rushton , the Organist of the Lodge , was called upon for a song , and he at once complied with the request , producing an original one , of his own writing , set to a proper nautical tune , which elicited unbounded applause , tho principal members of tho Lodge being individualy referred to . As the song is of considerable merit , a copy is subjoined : —
O have you not heard of tho noblo Crusaders , AVho in King Richard's time formed a true band , To fight the bold Saracen down in tho Holy Land , And thero for the Cross to make a bravo stand . Forth from the Priory gate , thoy went speedily , Blest by tho abbot and monks , who so readily Urged them , with courage , to do and to dare , And helped them in absence by many a prayer .
I sing not of them , but of other Crusaders , AVhose deeds as brightly will shine , we believe ; AVho would wage a great war against hatred ancl envy , And poverty , sickness , nnd suff ' ring relieve , 'Tis a Lodgo of Freemasons , which was consecrated , And from tho old Priory its charter is dated . Tho shades of tho abbot and monks hover there , To bless all who sit iu tho Crusaders' chair .
I sing yet aloud of the most noblo founders , AVith Maples , ancl Hunter , ancl Goodo to the fore , Of Simmons and Catherwood , Gay , and of Piggott , And dear old friend Davis , alas ! now no more . Of Millward , Defriez , of Knight , and of Rothschild , AVho largo the jewels of Masonry share , AVho ' ve proved themselves able , with zeal and devotion , To environ with beauty tho Crusaders' chair .
O join then in sympathy , all worthy Masons , Ancl pray the Great Architect grace may impart , To mako each Crusader a good and true Mason , At last , as at first , in tho depths of his heart ; That so we in Masonry , true knowledge learning , The Grand Lodgo above may be ever discerning ,
And the Mosb High , tor ever , His blessing shed there , AVhero the brethren surround tho now Crusaders' chair . Tho AV . M . next gavo tho " Past Masters of tho Lodge , " coupling with the toast the names of Bros . Maples ancl Dr . Hunter , stating that Dr . Hunter looked after their wants , and Bro . Maples looked after their funds . Bro . the Rev . J . Caseley , Provincial Grancl
Chaplain for Herts , and principal Curate of St . James s , Clerkenwell , sang a comical ancl very amusing song . Bro . Hunter P . M . said he felt gratified at tho manner in which tho brethren had received the toast ; ho waa highly pleased at tho manner in which it waa alwaya received . As that was the lasb opportunity ho should havo of addressing them before tho Festival , most sincerely did ho thank
the brethren for the response they hacl made to his appeal as representing them at tho Festival for tho Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution . Although they were a young Lodge , at present he held a sum of £ 113 towards thafc Festival , an amount which was highly gratifying to him as their Steward , and especially considering that thoy had hardly come into existence when they appointed a Steward ,
and sent him up with a sum of £ 70 . AVhen he entered upon the duty of Steward , he did nofc think ho should get anything like the amount that had come into his hands , but lately ho hacl met with many old friends , who hacl shaken hands with him , and said , " Well done , Bro . Hunter , I did nofc think you would got £ 50 . " Bro . Maples P . M . and Treasurer also returned thanks . Tho AV . Master
said tho next toast he had tho honour to propose was that of " Tho Visitors , " ancl that night they were favoured with a good sprinkling of them ; most happy should they be to see them again . In proposing tho toast ho mentioned the names of Bros . Carpenter P . M . of the Urban Lodge , Thompson of Tho Great City Lodgo , Lansdowne of the New Concord , and Thcmans of the Faith Lodge ,
most happy was ho to see them . Bro . Carpenter jocosely returned thanks for the toast , ancl Bro . Thompson remarked that the Lodge bore tho namo of the Crusaders , who were the pioneers of great and virtuous acts in early ages , carrying out the great principles of Christianity . Frcm what they had heard thafc night from Bro . Dr . Hunter , they seemed determined by their bounty to follow the
noble example of thoso whose name they bore , and appeared to bo foremost in a Second Crusade in carrying out in the future those principles which hacl so well distinguished the acts of the nohle Crusaders in the past . Some other toasts were given , including that of "Tho , Officers of the Lodge . " A very pleasant evening was
passed .

CONSECRATION OF THE FERRUM LODGE .
A new Lodgo of Freemasons was consecrated in Middlesbrough ou AVednesday , 21 st January . Tho North York Lodge , tho only one in tho iron town , was established in 1852 , and since that time tho members of tho Craft havo grown very numerous . For a considerablo period it has been thought desirable that thero should bo a second Lodge . In September last active steps wore taken with the view of opening a new Lodge , and a charter was
granted by His Royal Highness tho Princo of AVales to tho following brethren to form tho Ferrum Lodgo , No . 1848 : —Andrew Farmer , John Thomas Belk , S . A . Sadler , AV . H . Cowper , AVright Petchell , S . AValker , ancl AV . J . Watson . At the ceremony of Consecration thero was a large attendance . Tho ceremony was performed by tho R . AV . Prov . Grand Master , the Earl of Zetland , assisted by Bro .
J . P . Bell , M . D ., D . P . G . M . Tho ceremony of Consecration having been completed , tho installation of tho AV . M . was proceeded with , and tho Officers were appointed ns follows : —Bros .

Bro . G . T . H . Seddon , the I . P . M . of the Sincerity Lodge , No . 174 , writes us that our representative made an error in tho report of tho Installation meeting which appeared in our last issue . Replying to the kind remarks of the W . M ., when he presented the P . M . ' s jewel voted by the Lodge , Bro . Seddon is reported to havo said , " he accepted their gift , uot as a testimonial for doing his duties , but for
getting through them . " Our brother tolls us that ho said just tho opposite , for he accepted the testimonial , not for getting through his duties , but for doing them . AVe regret tho error ; but really tho instances where an I . P . M . can and does openly declare in the face of his Lodge that he has done his duty are unfortunately so rare that we think we are justified in craving a little indulgence for the mistake of our reporter .
In our notice of tho New Finsbury Park Lodge Ball , wo stated that Bro . Purkiss was tho AV . M . of the Lodge ; in this , it appears , we were wrong . The present AV . M . is Bro . Thomas Press ; Bro . Purkiss is the I . P . M .
The Portsmouth Times says that Bro . W . W . Beach , M . P ., Prov . G . M . for Hampshire and the Isle of AVight has postponed hia audit for the Michaelmas rents until tho middle of March , in order that tho corn may got in better condition for the market , and then ho will order an abatement of £ 10 per cent .
The adjourned meeting of the proposed Fifteen Sections Club will bo hold afc the Metropolitan Hotel , Sonth-place , Finsbury , E . C . on Monday next , 2 nd February , at seven o ' clock p . m . Brethren willing to co-operate in the above movement aro kindly requested to attend on this occasion . Communications to bo addressd to John B . King , Hon . Sec , 89 Cannon-street , E . C .
THE ROYAL STANDARD BENEFIT SOCIETY . —This Society was founded in 1828 by the late Mr . Hunter , for tho purpose of assisting members iu time of sickness aud death . It was the first Society of the kind under the Registration Act of Bro . 'field Pratt . A gathering waa held on Tuesday , the 20 th instant , at the Freemasons' Hall , Great Queen-street , in aid of the funds . Dancing was kept up with great spirit under the direction of Mr . James Cox . The amusements wero
varied . A child , nine years old , Miss Price , delighted the company by her talented singing ; Bro . C Solomons presided at the piano . Mr . Leech , in the Crown Room , President of tho Society , occupied the chair , and here songs , given by the Visitors , were fully appreciated . On former occasions the services of professional singers have beeu engaged . A supper followed , and then tho usual enjoyments were resumed . Among tho Stewards woro Bros . Croft 1351 , Ferryman P . M . No . 3 , Handley 475 , & c .
Part A I . of " Greenhouse Favourites , " published by Messrs . Groombridge and Sons , treats more particularly of tho Erica , Azalea anil Pelargoniums . This work is now fairly established , and when complete will form a handsome volume for the table , as well as a most useful ono for reference .
Doubtless many of our readers have seen or heard of the " Boys ' Own Paper , " which has now been published weekly by the proprietors of tho " Leisure Hour , " for about twelve months . The success that has attended tho publication of that , serial has induced the promoters to launch forth tho " Girls' Own Paper" which , based on the same lines ns that issued for the Boys , will we hope prove as successful . The movement to provide pure ancl interesting periodicals for the young has thus received valuable assistance .
H OLI . OWAY ' S OI . VTMKST AND I ' ILT . S . —Diseases of the skin . —No case of disease of the skin , be its nature what ifc may , lias railed to be benefited wheu theso potent remedies have been properly applied . In scrofulous and scorbutic affections they are especially serviceable . Scurvy and eruptions , which had resisted all other modes of treatment , and gradually become worse from year to year , have been completely cured by Holloway ' s cooling Ointment and purifying l'ills , which root out the disease from the blood itself and leave the constitution free from every morbid taint . In the nursery Holloway ' s Ointment should be ever at hand ; it will give ease in sprains , contusions , bums , scalds , and infantile eruptions , and may always safely be applied by any ordinary attendant .
