A Diplomatist's Memory.
p leasure at the success of his application . A few days afterwards the mother laid the enclosure before Lord S with her own hands ! It is clue to the diplomatist ' s memory to state that he read the letter with expressions of unbounded regret . The old excuse was at hand . He " could charge himself with no
similar lapse of recollection during a long official life . " His feelings did not merely vent themselves in words—he behaved kindly and compassionately to the family ; but he could not recal the dead , nor obliterate the recollection of
countless hours of anguish which his obstinate persistance in error produced . " They who lift up their voice to Avarn , shout to the winds , " says a popular humourist ; but , braving" the pungency of the remark , let me add that , if we wish the principles of our Order to flourish—if we desire to acquire and
maintain weight with those around us , no surer means can be desired than that of carrying out unswerving fidelity in Avord and deed . What greater triumph could the Order secure than for this to become proverbial among the masses— " He is a Mason , therefore rely on him ; the Order breaks no faith , repudiates no promise . "
