. The Sians Of England;
opinions which the good people of the Newspaper would seek either to browbeat you into or to insinuate . Cultivate some of your habits of thought—for to do so shall not altogether despoil you of the goods of the world;—and do not accept , as to be taken for granted , all that a newspaper chooses to indoctrinate . A fallacy is no less a fallacy
because a trumpet should proclaim it , a cannon speak it , or amages nod it , any more than that mistaken opinions can be made always true because they are propounded from under that clock from which Old England , like the superlative Greenwich one-o ' clock ball , has so generally consented to take its time—and very frequently false time Let us have the clockmaker in , to rummage out some of the ancient wheels . Let us twist off these false hands , if they point to wrong hours ; or , at all events , let us make this great old Newspaper clock aware that the eye of the public is upon its imperturbable face , if it seeks any bad wriggling with its long brass digits .
Masonry:
MASONRY :
Some trifle vain and light ; But oh ! how badly was I taught , How ignorant was I ; I blush at the unworthy thought I had of Masonry .
Translated from an old French Work , by Bro . Rev . H . 0 . Heilbronn . I thought , with shame be it confess'd , Before T knew the right , ? Twas nothing but an idle iest ,
Those virtues which are best beloved—The graces of the mind ; And sentiments the most approved By the noblest of mankind ;
Great zeal without ambitions strife , Respect , not flattery , And unity in heart and life , — This , this is Masonry !
Contented only to be known A s of that noble band , The universe I call my own , I ' ve friends in every land ; Home , help , and counsel they impart , Nor want , nor need have I , For ne ' er can hard or selfish heart Find place in Masonry .
