Masonic Chit-Chat.
The tomb itself is of marble , and around it is a quadrangular wall , breast high , raised by the English government for its further preservation . Such was its style a few years ago . Moore was initiated in the St . John ' s Kilwinning , Haddington , N . B . TAUNTON . —THE SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY , together with the GLEE CLUB , and a numerous assemblage of lookers-on , met at the
National School-room , on Monday evening , January 9 th , to witness the presentation of the gold box to Bro . F . Kingsbury , the late conductor of the two societies . Bro . EALES WHITE was called to the chair with acclamation , and he opened the interesting business with an address complimentary to the talent and exertions of the two societies which have progressed in a manner so eminently successful . We regret that our space will not admit of the insertion of Bro . AYhite ' s able remarks . Mr . Beadon also addressed the meeting on the part of the two societies ,
in a most delightful speech , in which the talents and character of Bro . Kingsbury , were alluded to with merited eulogium . —The Chairman then presented the gift , amidst loud plaudits , accompanying it with much appropriate remark , and read the inscription on the lid , as follows : — " Presented to Bro . Frederick Kingsbury , by the Sacred Harmonic Society , and Glee Club of Taunton , in testimony of his uniform kindness and attention , as well as great skill and ability , in presiding over those societies , and conducting their public vocal and instrumental
concerts—Jan . 9 , 1843 . "—Br . Kingsbury was too much affected to be able to state what he felt on the occasion , which to him was a circumstance as proud as it was gratifying to the donors ; he uttered a few grateful sentiments , and expressed his und ying interest in both societies . The party then separated . The box is in excellent taste , but rather too large , we think , to be useful ; the edges are enriched by very massive chasings in wreaths of flowers , and contrasts well with the plain gold plate which bears the honourable inscription—it is from the rich store of Mr . Abraham , Taunton .
PUBLIC AYORSHIP . —The following days of the week are set apart for public worship in different nations : —Sunday , or the Lord ' s-day , by Christians ; Monday , by the Grecians ; Tuesday , by the Persians ; Wednesday , by the Assyrians ; Thursday , by the Egyptians ; Friday , by the Turks ; Saturday , by the Jews .
AMONGST our nuptial notices last week was one in which two servants in husbandry were married by license . It may be considered strange that two persons of so humble a situation in life should incur such expence ; but it arose from a fear which the bridegroom had of losing his fair one , for the banns were thrice asked in Talley church between her and another man—Welshman .
ANTI-LOVE SOCIETY . —The Gents' Magazine for May , 1738 , records among its news , " Mam . Salle , the famous dancer at Paris , who values herself so highly for her vestal pretences , has instituted an order there , of which she is president , by the name of the Indifferents ; men and women are indiscriminately admitted into it , antl upon their introduction a new scrutiny is made into their qualifications . They have likewise rites after the manner of the Freemasons , which no one must disclose ; the badge of the order is a ribbon , striped black , white , and yellow , and the device an imitation of an icicle . They take an oath to fight against Love , whose power they renounce . "
