By others' griefs my spirits are oppress'd ; And , when I witness pain , myself am pain'dj Therefore , I ' m fain to comfort the distress'd , And to sustain , as I would be sustain'd . Let the unfeeling hug themselves in pride , Nor show the sympathy some day they'll need ; For me , such selfish conduct spurned aside , My sympathy shall dwell in word and deed ;
I'll strive to do my duty by my kind , Hoping for one reward—tranquillity of mind . " Give to the poor , and lend unto the Lord , " Thy God who giveth thee the power to give ; By whom thou art—by whom his creatures live — Give gratefully , and wait for thy reward . Remember who it is that saith " The poor
Always ye have with you , " and guard the heart , Lest pride or condescension bear a part In acts , by sympathy alone , kept pure . Be thy whole soul by charity refin'd From impulse less than sense of duty sprung ; Haste to bind up the wounds thou ' rt called to bind , And soothe the aching hearts that grief hath wrung . By charitable sympathy possessed In blessing others , thou shalt ever be thrice bless'd .
O land of sympathy , large-hearted land ! Britain , my country , model to the earth , In works of true philanthropy , that stand An ever-giving record of thy worth . Thou aggregate of individual zeal , Leav ' ning the mass , and rousing it to feel' . By sympathy , in gen ' rous deeds we share , And thrill with pleasure when the good succeed .
With godlike aim , and persevering care , To serve their fellow-creatures at their need . By sympathy with virtue , love , and truth , Our minds , whate ' er our years , enjoy unfading youth . In his preface Mr . Jones lays down a canon which , if attended to , would have saved the world from a mass of trashdignified -with the name of poetry . " I think , " he
, writes , " all poetry should be tested in the cnihono crucible , and if it cannot bo certified as calculated , directly or indirectly , to elevate or improve , or , at least , to innocently amuse its readers , it should be pronounced worthless , if not mischievous . " Believing that Mr . Jones ' s volume answers all the requirements of this canon , we heartily wish it an extensive circulation .

THE TRIPLE TIE . ( From the Heart to the Heart ) . BY REV . ITENEY G . PEIUIY , A . JI . 'Twas on the street two strangers met , in a city far away , ( The sun , long past meridian height , left hut the ghost of day ;) And one was strong and brisk of step ; but the other , steop'd and slow
Made him a motion level and true , true and level , you know . Then he ( the strong and brisk of step ) at cue of such language dumb , Came to a half halt , dead stop next , and still a living plumb , And stroked his face , and spied again , and again ' twas surely so—Some sign of a thing , both fair and square , certainly strange , # # # #
you know . " If you ' re weary and wanting , sojourner , " quoth he , " why not rest ?" "Ah , brother ! I ' m worn and ailing enough ; but , leaving the West , I ' m bound , I fear to that uttermost bourne , whither we all must go ; For methinks the Master's calling , and I must obey , you know . "

They first took hands in a wordless way ; then spake they each with care In old-world words , with that for this , and a something here and there ; It was thus began , but afterwards done—in deathless glow Mysterious , of genuine Fellow-Craft spirit , you know . * * * * And there sought him soon three faithful menunder a triple tie
, , Who all were sad , for well they saw he was about to die . So ci , cling round , and ( his secret apart ) then to them , moreo'er , He told of his distant home and wife , and little children four . Now I've none to trust in all the world , hut you good brethren here , In what I , dying , bespeak of you for wife . and children dear ; For the world is wicked , and I'm away , travelling
hitherto—Death ' s gavel sounds , and all I have / or them I confide to you .. And , tried and trusty , those men did , as just for themselves they would : Unto the last by his dying side one or another stood . And wiped the death-damp off his brow , and cased his pillow of pain , Bidding him fix his faith in God as never besought in vain .
He died at high twelve—hand upon heart—just as would you or I ! His left hand suppliant raised ( as if in prayer ) on high ; But the Master took them tenderly , and " pulmed " them OB his breast , While the brethren said , " So mote it be ! " God give his soul good rest ! * # # * *
Thence , from the lodge , his coffined form passed under the architrave , With the Craftsmen mutely following , two by two , to the grave—¦ Where they gave their solemn service , and his badge upon the lid , And sprigs of acacia , one by one , over their brother ' s head . Ah ! little he thought such parting last , from home and babes
and wife , To roam and not return , and thus in a strange land end his life ; But the friends he found forgot neither orphans nor widow lone , Since Masonry's care is ever— "dead or alive "—for its own .
