going to a AVaterloo dinner , instead of which you went to the Aged Alasons' Asylum festival . "—Such was a private hint given us by Caudle as to the effect on his wife by a peep at the portrait of Mrs . Aldworth ; but then said Caudle , " Dear Editor , is' it all true that is Written about the female Freemason ? " All fact , we replied . " Then , " rejoined Bro . Caudle , " if Punch will but help me , why not make my wife a Mason ? what happy nights I shall pass , instead of these vexatious curtain lectures . " Bro . Spencer , speak to Punch—let poor Caudle be happy .
The Historical Landmarks . By the Rev . G . Oliver , D . D . Spencer London . The Rev . Author has entered on the Third Degree , which he pu poses to conclude in Nine Lectures . The Degree is introduced b y quotations from the writings ofthe late Bro . Preston , also from those of Archdeacon Alant and Dr . Crucefix . The first part contains a view of all the orders ancl degrees which were practised in the 18 th century .
The Second Part treats of Alasonic innovations , ancl the Third , of those schisms which tended to indiscipline in the Order , ancl gave too favourable an opportunity for its opponents to falsify its intent . As the work proceeds it increases in interest .
Whistlings , Hammings , andRhymings , By a Plowman . Our minstrel has addressed a series of very pleasing lyrics to the Alfred and Apollo . Lodges of Oxford , in a dedication of very pure simplicity . The subjects are not confined to Alasonic subjects , ancl will , therefore , interest the popular as well as the Masonic reader . AA ' e hope that the leisure of Brother Plowman will permit frequent visits to the Lodge of Parnassus .
An Address to the Masons of North Munsier . —( for private circulation ) . By Bro . AL Furnell , P . G . M . This we believe to be a compilation from the sentiments expressed by many Masonic worthies , but so well arranged as to be admirably adapted by the introduction of many relative points and suggestions of the author himself , that claims the attention of that extensive section of the Masonic body over whom Bro . Furnell presides with so much eclat .
He may be considered as the regenerator of Alasonry in North Munsteiy where he is beloved and respected . If , by our observation on his address , we shall have given offence , we know we shall be pardoned , and it will even be satisfactory to have drawn the attention of so distinguished a Alason towards obi-selves .
