The Truths Of Masonry.
1 stood alone and friendless there , And helpless as a child , Or wanderer on a foreign shore , Forsaken and reviled . A lonely lot I often knew , But lonelier felt I then ; Yet found I Masons—Brothers , too ,
And found those Brothers—men . The mystic veil was drawn aside , And to my view display'd The symbols that true Masons guide—That precepts wise pervade ; And never since that blessed dawn Of sacred Light to me , Did e ' er I seek to slight or scorn The truths of Masonry .
Tricks On Time.
TRICKS ON TIME .
THE AIR TO BE SELECTED BY BRO . F . CREW , GRAND STEWARD , & C . TO WHOM THIS SONG IS FRATERNALLY INSCRIBED , BY BRO . J . LEE STEVENS . Though Old Time doth mend his pace ,
Driving us a downward race , Now that we descend the hill , — We should struggle ivith him still ! If so swift the tyrant ' s speed , Have ive not the greater need , Where delights before were few , increase them ?
To , or renew Grow we old ?—why Time is old ; So if we be blythe and bold , And with frolic bound about , We may chance to wear him out ! Or ifwhile the wine we
, pass , Time should fail to turn his glass . We th' accusing sand may spill , And with wine the chrystal fill ! Drink we , then , a merry round , Whilst Time topples to the ground , Rolling onward to the plain—. And wc climb life ' s hill again !
