THE DESCENT OF APOLLO . ( , L . I . ) THUS he prayed , and Phoebus heard him . From high heaven , indignant down Came he , with his bow and quiver compact ' thwart his shoulders thrown . Clanked the arrows in his motion , wrathful . But he came like night ; Ancl apart the vassals seatedinstant sent a shaft in fliht
, g , Fiercely clanged the bow of silver . Mules and fleet hounds first he slew , Next against the Achaians aiming forth the deathful arrows flew , Then continual bodies burned upon the frequent flaming pile . — Nine whole days throughout the army went the godhead's shafts the while . TOXOTES .
The Badge We Wear.
THE BADGE WE WEAR .
ERE round bold Jason ' s daring oar Approving Ocean curled : Or Wonder saw Rome ' s eagle soar Above the prostrate world : The badge ivhich we as Masons wear , AA ' as by our Brethren worn ; Then Brothers let it be your care
, To shield that badge from scorn .-More ancient than the golden fleece . More dignified than star Or garter , is the badge of peace , VV hose ministers we are . It is the badge of innocence
Ancl friendship ' s holy flame : And if you ne ' er give that offence , It ne ' er will'bring thee shame . \ V . SNEWINC .

Spread wide their spotless fame , Unite , unite , your voices raise , . Wc bear that sacred name . VOL . III . K
