How LITTLE is known of what is in the bosoms of those around as ! We might explain many a coldness could we look into the heart concealed from us ; we should often pity where we hate , love when we think we can never forgive , admire when we curl the lip with scorn and indignation . To judge without reserve of any human action is a culpable temerity , of all our sins the most unfeeling and frequent .

WE commend to the perusal of our readers the advertisement of the G-EAND LODGE OLVB , which appeal's in our columns to-day . It will , we think , prove of invaluable service as a point of union and information for Provincial Masons , while it will afford a convenient opportunity for deliberation upon all questions of

Masonic interest ; and thus enable the independent section of G . L . to mature their policy , and present a united front to their official opponents . The plan reflects great credit upon its originators : it is simple , practical , and capable of indefinite extension . We hope , in time , to see a reading room , and a

coffee room , included in the scheme . The names of the Executive of the Club—well-known and tried men—offer every guarantee for its efficiency and success .
