Foreign Masonic Intelligence.

Foreign Masonic Intelligence .

HUNGARY . [ F ROM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT . ] I have great pleasure in informing your readers that a new Masonic lodge has been

opened at Oedenberg by sixteen brethren , having at their head M . Vogel Statt . These brethren comprise representatives of various nationalities , viz ., Hungarians eleven , Germans two , Poles

one , a Slavonian , and a Czech . We assembled about noon in the Hall which is our temporary temple , when the symbolic lodge was opened and the grand battery given . Ten profanes , including three Magyar notables were then admitted members of the Order and were addressed by the Orator on the mission of Freemasonry .

I can give you but a faint outline of his discourse , but he reminded his audience that the advancement of liberal princi ples and free thought was chiefl y due to the spread of Freemasonry . He exhorted the new members to fulfil their

duties as soldiers in the great army of Progress , And appealed to their generous sympathies to assist the efforts now being made to cast aside for ever the thrall of debasing superstition . He concluded b y elevating the banner of the lodge , which bore the word " Unity" in the centre ,

and apostrophized it as the symbol of tho future , when man rising superior to the passions of envy and hate should clasp his brother ' s hand in unchangeable friendship . The Orator ' s address was greatly applauded , and one of tho neophytes expressed his profound sense of the serious nature of the obligations into which ho had entered

and his willingness to aid the cause of Freemasonry , which was that ofhunianity . After the labours of the lod ge had ceased the brethren enjoyed the hospitality of the chief municipal officer present , and the toast of " Fraternity with all Freemasons throughout the globe " was received with repeated acclamations .

OUR EXCHANGES .

27 ie Craftsman and Canadian Masonic Record , October , 18 G 9 . T . & E . WHITE Publishers , Hamilton , Ontario . We welcome with great p leasure this abl y edited Magazine , which now for the first time

appears in our sanctum . It opens with the commencement of a pleasing tale , entitled "Masons and Masons , " this is followed b y an article on the Kni ghts of Malta ;

then wo find a reprint from our pages of Masonry in Prussia , by " Oyptonymus , " and the remainder of tho number is filled with equally interesting matter . We hope to see the " Craftsman" regularly in future .

Our Exchanges.

T / ie Voice of Masonry . Chicago , HI . U . S ., September and October . This valuable periodical is , as usual , a pattern of neatness externally , while the intellectual banquet it provides is also worthy of its high

reputation . Bro . Rob Morris continues his series of articles on the Holy Land , which are extremely interestin g and instructive . We con-: gratulate our brethren in Illinois upon the possession of such a worthy and efficient organ .

Tiit Monde Maconnique . Paris . This journal now reaches us regularly , and is \ replete with information . Editor Beaumont ' criticises our remarks upon the suppression of the name of the G . A . O . T . U . in French Masonic

documents , and he credits our article on a recent occurrence in Costa Rica to another source , but with all this we appreciate the ability with which the " Monde" is conducted , and look forward to its continued prosperity .

The Freimaurer-Zeitung . Leipzig . We are glad to find that our Saxon brethren are supporting this useful periodical , which appears weekly . The number for October 9 , records a meeting of the new lodge of the Three White Lilies , at Temesvar , Hungary ,

at which there were 2 G members present . This looks well for the gallant Magyars , aud we are gratified to learn that other lodges are being rapidlyjformed throughout HisApostolic Majesty ' s dominions . From the same source we glean

that the Grand Lodge of Switzerland numbers 27 lodges , with 1694 members . We want more of these reliable statistics to enable us to take a comprehensive view of the Craft as it really is , and not as we fancy it is .

From a calendar of the German lodges we reproduce the following which may prove useful to our travelling brethren , and will continue the list till completed : — Logenkalender fur den Monat October 1869 . ORT . NAME .

PEABODY .

Soft be thy slumbers in the realms of shade , Radiant thy dreams in that divine repose , 0 thou whose kind and loving heart hath made Millions rejoice amidst the phantom-woes

That brooded o'er their being . Like a rose "Which blossoms in the wilderness , thy name Spreads fragrance o ' er the barren wastes of life , And high above the Age ' s sordid strife Is blazoned now thine honourable fame .

That fame shall be to man a glorious dower , A heritage of thoughts most pure and bright , - A presence that shall prove a blissful power

To scatter o ' er thy grave , like rays of light , While Honour , Truth , and Virtue shall endure , The blessings of the friendless and the poor . ' K . WENTWORTH LITTLE .

Song,

SONG ,

Written by Bro . J . JEWELL , and sung by Br . FRED . CLARK at the Installation Banquet of the Antient Lodge , No . 1223 , Oct . 14 , 1869 . Most Worshipful Master , you ' ve called upon me To sing you a song , so of 1223

I'll add up my numbers , and multiply some , And first iu my rhymes you will find a new sum ( NEWSOM ) . Then , Brothers assembled , join chorus with me , May success e ' er attend our Lodge 1223 .

In alluding to sums there are some better known By the name of their father , as soon can be shown—There ' s Dick's son ( DIXON ) and John's son ( JOHNSON ) and Tom ' s son ( THOMPSON ) , forsooth , While EDWARD ' S a steady aud well-governed youth .

" Antiquity ' s Pride " is a Freemason ' s toast , And a ( head ) ED-MEd-seval we surely can boast ; Though with ( Soot ) SUTT-ON the face , Dirt ' n ' all ( DURTNALL ) on the head , Some persons may say we ' ve a BLACKMAN instead .

Though the Head may be turned there ' s no madness in showing , Like the " Man of the World , " there ' s much done by Boio-ing ( BOWEN ) ; Keep in his good books , for they ' re up to the mark , And ne'er be a FRED ( afraid ) of our wanting a CLARE .

Old Shakespere ' s wise sayings are ne'er known to fail , Though in Hamlet he says that a cloud ' s like a whale " Very like to a Whale" old Polonius doth say , But some folk take no heed on ( EDEN ) the man in the play .

Now pray don t imagine a PALMER , am I Of stale jokes or bad puns , or you'll cause me to sigh , The author makes NEW-IN ( G ) this song you will see , And though frightfully bad—why , you can't appal he ( A . PAWLEY ) .

If we get out of GEER-IN ( G ) our tackle or fether , We ' ve a SMITH with a bar that can weld us together j If the TONG of a Buckle gets twisted or loose , He'll be one ( B EVON ) to make straig ht when he ' s wanted for use .

" Would I were a BIRD , " you'd be pleased with my song , But whistle or sing if I've kept you too long ; I've piped out my best , and I hope that all you will Believe that we ve caged in our lodge the right JEWEL ( L ) .

I have tried in my soDg on each brother to pun , But us all ( USSEI . L ) together will surely make one ; With Caution to guide us , and Wisdom to guard , We may treasure her ( Treasurer ) precepts aud find a re-WAiiu ( E ) .

THE BLOOD IN OLD AGE As age advances , the blood becomes thin and cloudy—or , in a full habit , thick and cloudy . The failing of the powers of life requires extra nutrition and support , and the blood yielding the excess required is soon overcharged with carbon , which gives to it the cloudy appearance . Being then impure , day by day tho vitiated matter increases , nnd the hodv sutlers from a

thousand ailments . " The Blood Purifier —Old Dr . Jacob Townscnd ' s Sarsaparilla— supplies the extra nutrition to the blood , and restores to it its liorid hue , and then the progress of decay is arrested , nnd the ailments disappear ; man lives out his days , and the sunset of life is unattended with suffering .
