by steady insistar . ce nf purpose , had become such an accomplished linguist , that the Zion Lodge must feel itself all the rioher for the reflected honour he would confer upon them . The speaker considered that they were highly favoured by having Bro . de Bolton to preside over them for a year . The Worshipful Master , in response , said that the pleasure and honour derived from

the privilege conferred upon him by being placed in K . S . ' s chair , impressed upon his mind the fact that life after all is really worth living . If he hnd shown any hesitation in accepting the position , it was because be had considered himself unequal to the task ; bnt surrounded by friends , and guided by them , he hoped to carry on successfully the various duties whioh suob a position might enta l

upon bim . Bro . Botton added that some brethren teaob , and some are ready to learn , and be was one of the latter : he was hungry , and ready to learn . He reverted to the brilliant assembly of that evening , and especially thanked the visiting brethren for their goodwill towards him . Before sitting down , Bro . de Botton very interestingly proposed the toast of the I . P . M ., saying that if the brethren

only knew Bro . Fisher as . he knew him , the toast would go on for ever . It was with extreme pleasure he performed the duty allotted to him , that of presenting him with a gold jewel , given by the Lodge , in consideration of services rendered during his year of office . " You must , " said Bro . de Botton to the donee , " ever think when you put on this beautiful jewel in a Masonio Lodge , how much we are

indebted to you , and how much you deserved it . " Bro . Fisher , who replied at some length , said that honours were often given to men who try to do their best , even though they do not succeed , and he was one who could thoroughly appreciate any honours and emoluments connected with Freemasonry , though when they were bestowed they came BB a sarprise , for he had not expected that they would tumble upon him . Their aotion of that evening had calculated to

make him live another quarter of a oentury , during whioh time he sincerely hoped to enjoy their society . When he looked upon the gift whioh had just been placed upon his breast , it reminded him that it was an emblematic jewel only : tbe jewels which he prized were the immortal jewels surrounding him at that moment in the persons of his brethren . Other toasts followed , whioh were suitably responded to , and the evening ' s enjoyment did not terminate until a late hour .
