Extracts From A Mason's Scrap Book.
his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has been restored to the blessing of sight . Remember in thy youth the Lord , Ancl humbly bow before His throne , Follow the precept and the word , The narrow path in mercy shown . Remember then thy God , and He ,
In grief and pain will think on thee . AVell wast thou , prince , this lesson taught , E'en in the days of early youth , Thy heart its sacred import caught . And felt its force , and owned its truth . Thou didst remember Him—and He , In thy dark hour hath pitied thee .
Rejoice then , prince , our voice is heard . Thousands have bent the suppliant knee , Ancl a fraternal prayer preferred , To the GREAT A RCHITECT for thee ; Brother and chief , for light restored , Rejoice , and praise the mighty LORD . All mercifuland all divine
, , Our God is just ; He will not close A life of usefulness like thine . In loneliness and dark repose , Or ere permit those orbs to dim , Whose mental sight is turned tow ' rds Him .

MOST mystic Brother , ivith all reverence due , An humble sister now addresses you . Mistake me not , I do not mean to tear The mystic veil you all so proudly wear ! No ! keep aloof , and use your sign and rule , My curiosity can stand a pull ! And deem not I imaginewith my sex
, , Your words and works are merely used to vex Our frailer fancy , and to raise a dome AVithin whose portals we may never come . Though irritation often whispers this From out the lips of some bewildered Miss , I ' ve more exalted notions of your art;—I know the spell—nayBrotherdo not
start—, , I know the spell that works within the mind Of every Mason , who , with thoughts refined , Can ope that book of science that you close Before each poor unconscious female nose ! I know the spell that works within his soul , And stretches all abroad , from pole to pole
