Masonic Obituary.
Such was Henry O'Brien : Ave enjoyed his personal friendship , and had exchanged the credentials of mutual regard . He speculated in the mysteries of a by-gone time , and unconsciously had prepared himself for initiation ivith an eagerness proportionate to his OAVII gigantic mind . So that when Ave admitted him , ( for that honour Avas our own , ) he revelled , as it Avere , Avith delight ; that Avhich to many was occult , to him Avas but the realization of an anticipated moral enjoyment . His Avords are
now in our ears— " You have made me a Mason , and I am happymy services shall in future prove my devotion . " He kept his word ; and but a few days before his lamented death , he sanctioned that future , by being found among those who met and jjledged themselves to erect a sanctuary for the aged Freemason . Henry O'Brien may have been an enthusiast , but he Avorshipped God , aud foUoived the reli gion of his father .
