Suffolk * , triennially in each respective county ; indeed , we have done all that we as humble members of the Craft can do , and therefore , whilst we admit that we are ready to attend to the call of " awake , and arise , " whenever the mandate is issued by competent authority , we cannot , at the same time , silently submit to be called sleepers or drones in the Masonic hive .

Scientific Lodge , Yours fraternally , Cambridge , January , 1839 . P . M . [^ Hurrah ! — We could have vouched that the Masonic energy of Cambridge was merely dormant—that the sleepers would arise on the " alarm" being given . We do not regret that the simple hint offered in our last , has worked so deeply as to call forth the spirited and well-addressed remarks of a Past-Master in reply ; and for this reason ,
he has proved , to the very letter , that we were correct . We will not weaken the cogency of his remarks by any logical arguments , but simply assure him that we never intended to designate as drones any Brethren because they may not be actively inspirited by their leaders , much less those who have given such sterling proofs of their inestimable value , as the worthy Past-Master and those with whom he acts ; they may more appropriately be hailed as the careful . bees of our Masonic hive , ready to set an example worthy of imitation , and which example should not be lost upon those who have the opportunity of rewarding merit .

LODGES OF INSTRUCTION .
Having inadvertently omitted to notice these most important meetings in their proper place , we now make the best amends by stating , that they are all working out their useful ends . The anniversary meeting of the " Stability" Lodge of Instruction will be held on the 26 th of April , at seven precisely , at the George and Vulture . —Brother Peter Thomson will preside ; and as his horological tact is now regulated by zodaical influencehe has become " punctuality "

" The lecture will be worked by the veritable Peter himself and his young friends , in the various sections , not , however , by the same Brethren who obtained such high credit last year , but by others , panting to gain their laurels by the veteran ' s approbation .
The members ofthe Master Masons' Lodge of Instruction owe Brother Peter a visit , which they must repay ivith interest . The charity box of this Lodge of Instruction contains some sensible proofs of the object in view , and its contents will be divided between ALL the Charities—we had almost written the awful number (!)—however , " there ' s luck in odd numbers says Rory O More , "—and we hope to be there to see an equal division in thirds . The Lodge on this occasion will adjourn until the first Friday in September .
