AMERICA ,
A National Masonic Convention was held at Washington in January last , and from a report of the proceedings , we gather that the object of this assembly was , to bring the various G . L . ' s in the United States into communication with each other , that a uniform system of usages and laws might be adopted . But few of the G . L . ' s were however represented on the occasion , and the proceedings were closed by a rather lengthy address to the Brethren of the States , setting forth the desirability of a bond of union to arrange an uniform code .
The Living And The Dead.
THE LIVING AND THE DEAD .
BY A MASON ' S WIFE . Weep for the early dead ! Whose funeral dirges Alma ' s wave is singing , While far off England's bells are gaily ringing A peal for victory won :
While the pale stars a solemn watch are keeping , Above those gallant hearts , now calmy sleeping , With all their duty done .
Weep for the young and brave !—How many an English hearth is dark and dreary , And loving hearts are mourning weak and weary , O ' er those ne ' er more to wake ; Those in that early home so dearly cherished , Who in that far off struggle , nobly perished , For mother England ' s sake .
Weep for the dearly loved !—How many once bright eyes with tears are flowing , How many a young life ' s hope and promise glowing , Fell on that fatal shore ; Small consolation is the sad proud story To them , —the honour , and the brightest glory , Cannot the lost restore .
Yet do not only weep , — The living need our aid , the hundreds lying In hopeless misery , —the sick and dying ; Let the good work be sped , Each one and all their labour freely giving , And be our utmost efforts for the living A tribute to the dead , Fk S . B .

of the sense which I entertain of their goodness , and of my gratitude for the kind and Brotherly feeling which they have shown towards me .
