Corrrespondence.
Such as the above , I have no doubt , would be duly responded to by every brother in every sphere of life , for the support of his brethren in arms , the widow , aud orphan , by carrying out the Masonic principles for which we live . We live for those who love us , For those who know us true ; Jfor the heaven that smiles above us , And awaits onr spirits too ;
For the cause that lacks assistance , For the wrong that needs resistance , ITor the future iu the distance , And the good that we can do . Should you be pleased to consider this worthy to be inserted in the Masonic Mirror , for which I shall be very thankful , nothing would give me greater pleasure than in seeingthose Masonic feelings of charity and brotherly love carried out , which would be an .
lasting honour to be remembered by the brethren . I am , Dear Sir and Brother , yours , fraternally , Thomas Witt . Dominy . 199 . Droits of Admiralty Office , Toole , 19 tt Dec . 1354 .

FREEMASONRY IN BANFFSHIRE .
To ihe Editor of the "Masonic Mirror . " SIR AND BROTHER , —Have the goodness to send me a copy of the " Masonic Mirror" ( stamped ) , by post , as published , commencing with the first number . I have been a Mason , —an Arch-Mason—indeed , at the head of the tree , —for upwards of 40 years , and when I was initiated Masonry in this quarter was in a most flourishing state . Since that time it has declined a good deal—the light waned ; but , as I have always endeavoured to instil into the minds of my brethren , although that
glorious light might suffer an occultation for a little , the cloud would pass away , and the light again burst forth with as much splendour as in times bye-gone ; and I am glad to say that Masonry is again rapidly reviving , and that your " Mirror ''' vnll he of great service in advancing it , I remain , Sir and Brother , yours fraternally , W . M . Banff , November ,

LODGES OF INSTRUCTION .
To the Editor of the "Masonic Mirror . " DEAR Sin AND BROTHER , —I perceive by the "Masonic Mirror , " that a testimonial is about being presented to Br . T . A . Adams , by the members of the various Lodges of Instruction to which that worthy brother belongs . This convinces me at once , "that Lodges of Instruction are requisite , and must do good to young and inexperienced Masons . Why , then , should Liverpool not be able to boast of having a Lodge of Instruction ? I am but a young Masonand would like to gain instruction from my
, elder brethren . Whenever I meet with Brother Masons , from London , and they tell me that they visit Lodges of Instruction , and that they can learn more there than in open lodge , then am I sorry that I cannot , in a town like this , where there are many Lodges , and Masonry prospering , enjoy similar advantages . I am sure , if a Lodge of Instruction was opened here , that there would be many , very many , glad to join it . I , therefore , pray you , as a friend and brother , to urge in your next " Mirror , " that there should be a Lodge of Instruction established in Liverpool . It only wants
commencing , and I know there would be many glad to lend a hand , and take the chair ; and as your " Mirror" is read by many Masons in this district , your advising the establishment of such a Lodge , might lead some Mason , able and willing , to endeavour to establish it . and it could not fail to do good to all Masons . Yours fraternally , A FREEMASON . Duke-sired , Zicerpool ,
