[ Publishers are requested to send works for review not later than the 20 th of the month , addressed to the Editor of the " E reemasons' Monthly Magazine , " 74-5 , Great Queeivstreet , Lincoln ' s-Inn-fields . ] " TJie Masonic Journal . ' . '¦ Brunswick , Maine" U . S . The number for March
contains some admirable maxims for Masons and two good tales ; the transactions in the Lodges of Kentucky , Iowa , and Oregon , are unimportant . We select the following easy translation into poetry of the celebrated passagefrom EcclesiastesXIL , by Gold Pennv Bememberjthy Creator ,
