— $ — THE STAR IN THE EAST . Betwixt the slumbering midnig ht and the dawn I gazed upon the blind and pulseless shadow That round the subtle feet of Time is drawn ,
And from the East I saw a ray of light Pierce through the darkness of the weary night Like one white flower in a whole wide meadow , And a sad voice shook softly at my ear : " Behold a star shall in thc East appear
To tell that day is nigh at hand , and then Peace and goodwill among thy fellow-men . Shall be proclaimed , and wars and troubles cease , And tyrants die , and prisoners have release , And they who now may stumble in the way By reason of the night shall see the clay ,
And from the tomb the lifeless shall arise To shine as stars for ever in the skies ; But till that time thc faithful shall be vexed With trials , and with sore hindrances perplexed . " I looked again , and lo ! the ray had fled , And silence reigned , and light and jov were dead ' H . M . G .

Which have form'd a garden's pride ? Scatter'd by the breath of autumn , Lying strewn upon the ground , Mingled with the leaves that falling Shower upon us all around .
Fading flowers ! a shade of sadness Autumn ever seems to bring , Different from the joy and gladness That ' s so delightful in the Spring . As we view thc wreck of beauty Strewn before us everywhere , Seems it not to warn us gently , We should for a change prepare ?
Yes ! as autumn days remind us Of our own approaching end , May their calm , sweet influence bind us To a never-failing Friend . Fading flowers ! O may they teach us , livery year , at summer ' s close , So to live that we may , like them , Pass away in calm repose . S .

He may surely hold All the mysteries of thc Art , As in thc Craft of old ; Bind it once , and make tbe noose STRONG , that time shall not unloose .
Bind it twice , that Mason's law , Faith and Charity , Ever may his spirit draw In resistless tic ; Bind it twice , and make thc noose STRONGER— death alone shall loose .
