Written upon the occasion ofthe Installation of J . J . Hammond , Esq . as Provincial Grand Master for Jersey , 10 th October , 1848 . HARK ! what are those sounds thus borne on the air , Ancl what means this glittering array ? Why appears this rich pageant , so motley , so rare , These emblems so costly , so gay ?
'Tis an Order well known throughout the wide world , And ' tis well ancl deservedly famed , For LOVE , TRUTH , and KINDNESS , their flags have unfurled Where the Freemasons' Order is named .
This day we have met , and each face beams with joy , Each heart beats with feelings of pride , For to-day we instal in his office so high , A brother well chosen and tried . Now behold him first Chief of his Order so free , That Jersey ' s fair isle ' ere has seen ; May he govern with justice , and all shall agree That our choice well directed has been .
That he long , ancl with honour , his seat may retain , Is the heart ' s wish of each , then ' erewhile Fame shall publish his deeds , till again ancl again They'll resound in our merry green isle ; And when time lays upon him his unsparing hand , And his locks become silvered and grey , With his children around him , a joyous young band , He will tell them with pride of this clay . St . Hillier . C . J .
The Luxury Of Luxuries.
THE LUXURY OF LUXURIES .
Go , thou , and wipe away the tear which dims the widow ' s eye ; Be a father to the fatherless , and still the orphan ' s sigh ; Help thou thy brother in distress with open hand and heart ; But clo thou this when seen by none , save him who dwells apart . Rejoice with those of spirit glad , upraise the drooping head , And to the wretched let thy words bring back the hope long fled ;
Forgive as thou wouldst be forgiven , and for thy fellows live ; Be happy in the happiness thou canst to others give . These are the heavenly luxuries the poorest can enjoy ; These are the blissful banquets of which men never cloy . Rich and poor , old ancl young , know this as ye should—The luxury of luxuries is that of doing good . ' W . HURTON .
