TO THE EDITOR .
The Freemason ' s Calendar and Pocket-Book . IF you have any interest with the Editorial Board of General Purposes , do I pray you exercise it in favour of our sadly-disgraced Calendar , which stands the lowest of its competitors , whether number or utility be considered . Of what value can such an abortion be to the charities , the subject of which is so flauntingly heralded in a preface of some thirty years' standing ? I have addressed many letters to the Grancl
Secretary , but have never received a single reply . The charge for such a farrago is an imposition ; but for a creditable pocket-book it would cheerfully and thankfull y be paid by your obedient servant , A GRADUATE OF OXFORD .
Poetry.
POETRY .
THE CHOICE . WHEN first to this earth , From the place of its birth , Sweet Charity flew on Love ' s mission : AU nature confessed , The heaven-born guest
, And welcomed the beautiful vision . " I yield to thy sway , The realms which obey , My sceptre , " cried Earth , " with zeal glowing , From jewels whose beams , Shame Light ' s golden streams ,
My coffers are full to o ' erflowing . The depths , to where rise My brows to the skies , Be thine , from cireumf ' rence to centre . Select for thy throne , Whate ' er I have shown ,
Ancl Envy perforce shall content her . " The goddess surveyed , The riches displayed , And gladly embraced the occasion . " My choice , " she exclaimed , " With pride be it named , Is the heart of an accepted Mason . " W . SNEWINO .
