The Brides Of Quair.
She came , they kiss'd her in the hall , 'They kiss'd her on the winding stair , They led her to her chamber high , The fairest in the house of Quair . They bade her from the window look , And mark the scene IIOAV passing fair ,
Among whose ways the quiet days Would linger o ' er the Avife of Qiiair . " Tis fair , " she said on looking forth , " But what although 'twere bleak and bare—" She look'd the love she did not speak , And broke the ancient curse on Qiiair .
" Where'er he cLvells , where'er he goes , His dangers and his toils I share . " What need be said—she was not one Of the ill-fated brides of Quair !
Once More.
ONCE MORE .
Once more ! Words of hig h heart to all who hear Them worthily through life ' s great enterprise . Whate'er their lot , all kingly souls despise The immoralities of dull despair ; Burdened , betrayed , giddied with wrong and care , Refuse to fall—fall lighting—fall to rise ! Fight the more sternlyif some dread surprise
, Tread on the ruins of the Past , to reach A better Future . Failures do but teach , To such , their strength , their call to glorious strife . The aims , the deep requirements of fife ; And till they front the far time-closing shore ,
Their hope is staunch , their watchword still—Once more !
THE SECRET . —The real secret of Freemasonry , consists in the exercise of every social and moral virtue , not only in the ostensible actions of our conduct , but also in private life ; our latent springs are science and truth ; our Craft is reason and good sense ; our cunning is justice and humanity ; our plots and . contrivances are sincerity and beuoA'olenee ; our revenge against our enemies is , by labouring to convert them into friends , American Craftsman .
