Freemasonry In Bermuda.

and safe recovery was drank with enthuaiasm . Thc other toasts then followed and were ably responded to by the several brethren . While song and sentiment were proceeding in a very agreeable and pleasant manner the solemn tones of the clock struck the hour of 12 . The W . M . then intimated that another year had passed away with all its hopes and

fears , and thc new year , 1875 , had dawned upon us in its most pleasant form , and while wc were enjoying the good things of this world let us not forget all sick and distressed brethren throughout the universe ; and to close one of the most pleasant evenings " Auld Lang Syne " was sung right heartily , and the brethren retired to their respective homes .

Multum in Parbo ; or Masonic Notes and Queries .

MASONIC SONO . In answer to my excellent Bro . Constable , I beg to say , that I , with others , feel indebted to him for pointing out the " whereabouts " of a somewhat remarkable song . I had seen some of its words before , but did not know , nor do I yet , in what Alasonic collection to find them . They do not exist in Stephen Jones ' s " Afuse of Alasonry " of

1797 and 1811 , but they may be found m some other collection . In thc " Institutes of Alasonry , " & c , addressed to the " Sea Captain ' s Lodge , " and published at Liverpool in 1 J 88 , in Masonic Song 24 , occur these two verses at its close , and which have a good deal of likeness to the last two verses quoted by Bro . Constable : — Let ' s lead a good life while power we have ,

And when that our bodies are laid in the grave , We hope with good conscience to Heaven to climb , And give Peter the password , thc token , thc sigh ; Saint Peter , he opens , and so we pass in , To a place that's prepared for all those free from sin , To that Heavenly lodge which is tyled most secure , A place that ' s prepared for all Masons who ' re pure ,

To all pure and upright Masons . There is also a Song , No . 38 , in thc same book , which travels somewhat over thc same ground , but is neither so clever , and much more coarse than Bro . Constable ' s quotation . This is one verse about Noah : —

Then , after the flood , like a brother so true , Who still had thc good of the Craft in his view . He delved the ground , and he planted the vine , I le formed a lodge , aye , and he gave the lotlge wine . This song is to the tunc of " Derry Down . " A . F . A . Wooiiionn .

ARCHIVES OF THE AIASON ' S COMPANY . 1 am happy to announce , that by some researches kindly made for me , through thc courtesy of the Alaster and of II . 11 . Burnell , and Air . Hunter , the present clerk , by Mr . Gwatkin , in the records of this ancient company , Mr . Wm . Gray , Air . Samuel Taylor , and the two Air . Wises , all mentioned hy Elias Ashmole , have been found to be members of the Alasons' Company at the period

mentioned hy Ashmole . I hope to learn something more before long , as I have asketl the favour of other researches being made -, though whether wc shall clear away all the doubts and difficulties of the case , may be a question . Elias Ashmole , if I read his words aright , makes a difference between the " Society of Freemasons , " and thc " Alasons' Company , " and it is , I think , more than probable that they were two and distinct sodalities .
