LE MIROIR DE LA SAGESSE . —Under this title , a gentleman in Paris , even more distinguished by his extraordinary learning , than by his misfortunes , has executed a Masonic engraving " , of sucirparticuln ' r value and importance , as to call for the admiration of all who may - be fortunate enough to possess a copy . To those who feel a disposition to examine into , and to think upon , the wonderous system of which we are but as atoms—to the
speculative in the mysteries of time past—to the practical Mason of the present era—and to him who has sufficient moral courage serenely to contemplate the future as the reward of his Masonic pilgrimage ' on earth , there will in this tableau be found much to admire , and nothing to condemn .
The Editor entertains a conviction that he has not wrongly calculated upon the interest which this " Miroir" will excite , nor upon the liberality of many of the English fraternity , in rewarding the exertions of the artist , who planned , drew , and fully executed the work , without any assistance whatever . Nor is he without proud satisfaction in anticipating that while he recommends a superior work of art to their patronage , they will possess it with more cheerfulness , when they are informed
that the author has been reduced from that elevation in whicli riches and talents had once placed him , to become a wanderer from his home—a brother without other hope than what he may derive from the practice of Masonic duty . The Editor has provided ' himself with a few copies and will feel happy in supplying such of the Brethren as may favour him by subscribing . The work is a Chart or Map of Engravings , with descriptions iu French
; and with each copy a book of explanation ( in the same language ) will be given . May a difference in language prove no obstacle to charity ; and above all , may the Editor prove to Brother Rosenberg , that Masonry has one universal language—that of the heart !

THE MASONIC CALENDAR . —AVe direct the attention of every Mason to the necessity of having this work made as correct , as it mi g ht be made useful , and to this end request them to send into the Grand Secretaries' Office as early as possible , any alteration that may have occurred in the meeting of Lodges and Chaptersand to point out
