lacrymce . Further , the brochure observes , that Dr . Arnott continues to a ' ct as Grand Commander in Scotland , but that he is in disrepute ; the Duke of Leinster , and Bro . Fowler , in Dublin , having declined honorary membership ; and even Bros Gourgas and Yates , in New York , are as little inclined to accept such favour ! Like other missives of this nature , there is a little semblance of truth mixed up with much falsehood . It will be admitted that Dr .
Arnott has committed a great mistake ; but does that make the other party pure ? " Two blacks do not make a white . " I should like to know by what authority C . Morison de Greenfield ever became a S . G . I .

He has been a denizen of Paris for upwards of twenty
years . Let him quietly go back , and remain there quietly , if he can , and quietly keep his temper , and not bother himself about what does not concern him . I have no wonderful opinion of the vastness of his Masonic knowledge ; and the proof of his energy in endeavouring to set folks by the ears is , I think , a pretty conclusive one that he has yet to learn that the first approaches to the vestibule enjoin the practice of brotherly lovereliefand truth . When the soi-disant Grand

Books and manuscripts are well enough ; but the knowledge required of a Mason is , that of duty towards his God , his neighbour , and himself . FIDUS .

SIR AND BROTHER , —As the Grand Secretary ( so says rumour ) is about to have a deputy , and as there are two clerks in the office , will you kindly inform us , country yokel Brethren , why some one of this cortege , who are well paid servants , cannot attend by TEN o ' clock in the morning . I have called twice ( certainly not following days ) at halfpast ten A . jr ., and found no one in attendance ; but what is more , the strong-room was OPEN on each occasion . Can this be right ?
