What Is A Compliment?
[ We present compliments to our correspondent , and preferring kicks to ha ' pence , do not exactly like to attempt to explain what is not to be explained ; neither do we feel called on to say what we really pay the Grand Secretary , or his legion of clerks , for their services to the F . Q . R ., or for writing or reporting for us . Compliments pass now and then between us , e . g ., in 1835 the Grand Secretary publicly announced that the F . Q . R . would not exist for twelve months ; this compliment was paid
us upwards of twelve years ago . In compliment to us , Masonry has increased in number and respectability , the number of its charities has been doubled , the staff lias been increased , Lodges have multiplied—in fact , all that is good in the Order has been verily done purely out of compliment to us ; and further this deponent sayeth not on the subject of compliment ; Mrs . Grundy should be asked the question—her late address was " Sumatra , " but we hear she has evaporated for a time to her lodgings in the " moon . "T
Masonic Sepulchre.
MASONIC SEPULCHRE .
TO THE EDITOR . OUR distinguished townsman and Brother , the gallant Colonel Sir Michael Creagh , during a late visit to this city , in a ramble ( reviving the reminiscences of boyhood ) , discovered amidst the tombs of his ancestors , in St . Munchin ' s churchyard ( one of our oldest cemeteries , beautifully situated on the Shannon , at the north-east angle of Thomond bridge ) , the remains of a very old sepulchre , having the name Andrew
Creagh in raised old English characters , with the square and compass , and the Creagh arms thereon ; it is most perfect and in bold relief , putting to shame the surrounding sculpture of the present age ; though it is to he deplored that the mausoleum , which must have been of corresponding magnificence , should have perished amidst the din of warfare for which the site is famed . There is every reason to believe this to have been erected after 1605 , when Andrew Creagh was mayor of this city . * I send you a rude sketch ; but having no pretensions to be an artist , you will excuse , yours , LLENRUF LEAHCIJI . Limerick , Nov . 11 . 1 ( 147 .
The characters , about three inches in size , and prominently forward , can be easily deciphered at fifty yards distance .
