do , will most assuredly lead those to whom our influence extends to follow in our footsteps . The listening ear , the instructive tongue , and the faithful breast , admonish us to exercise due exertion , and be guided by wisdom and prudence in all things pertaining to our own and our neighbour ' s welfare , both as to the present and future of our lives—for it is an incontrovertible truth that " as we sow we shall also reap . " If we sow sparingly we shall
also reap sparingly . We should " make to ourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness , so thafc when we fail they may receive us into everlasting habitations . " We should so use the things of this world as that they shall contribute to our own good and to the good of others around us . And just here the lessons of Freemasonry , which are deduced from the Rule and Guide of our faith , come to our aid , and point out the way in which we should walk , so that we may get good to ourselves by doing good to others .
The objects and ends of Freemasonry must ever be kept prominently in view . To lose sight of these , or to live neglectful of them , would be to miss entirely the golden opportunity of life , the result of which could be naught but a signal failure . " To do good as we have opportunity " is the highest dictate of reason , and no good Mason can afford to sit idly down and let the opportune moment slip from him . The time to reap is at the season ol
harvest , when the golden grain bows its head with ripe fruits and invites the reaper to thrust in the sickle and gather of the abundance of the earth ' s productions , that the bins may be filled and the heart of the sturdy yeoman made glad . The time to express the juice of the grape is when the vintage , fully ripe , has been gathered into the vats , that the presses may burst out with the new wine .
These impressive words are constantly sounding in our ears : " Go work in my vineyard , and whatsoever is right I will give thee . " The wise man and Mason gives heed to this injunction , and works whilst it is called to-day . —Andrew H . Barkley , Crawford , Mississippi , in " Voice of Masonry . "
IMPORTANT RAILWAY CONCESSION . IT has long been known that the different Railway Companies of the country owe much of their growing prosperity to the ever increasing holiday traffic , and as a consequence they are continually striving for fresh attractions with which to augment this most important portion of their business . It is hot so very long since that a great advance was made in this direction by the issue of return tickets to Scotland by certain trains at a
single fare for the double journey , return being permitted at any time within sixteen days—an arrangement first suggested , we believe , in our columnsand now we have to record a yet greater concession to holiday seekers , by the issue of week-end tickets at a cheap rate by the principal Companies between their chief stations and seaside and inland pleasure resorts distant thirty miles and upwards , at about a single fare for the double journey . These tickets will be available by any ordinary train on the outward journey on Friday or Saturday , and on the return journey on the following Sunday
( where the train service permits ) , Monday , or Tuesday , the arrangement coming into force on Friday next , 14 th inst . We have already received notices of this concession from the Great Northern , London and North Western , and Midland Companies , but imagine the other chief lines will make the same arrangement , and thus a new system is opened up for the holiday seeker , not only of the metropolis , but of almost every business centre or the Kingdom , and we feel convinced it will prove a most popular and profitable feature , and a long step towards the general reduction of fares that seems to be looming in the near future .
MODERN TRAVELLING . A LETTER addressed by the Railway Department of the Board of Trade to the Railway Association , generally on the subject of assaults on women in railway carriages , and particularly in regard to the recent cases on the Brighton line , acknowledges the advances made by the leading lines in bringing into use corridor cars and corridor trains , and adds that the Department is not aware whether the companies propose gradually to supersede the ordinary form of railway carriage by tbe introduction of cars for short
distance as well as long distance traffic . This , we consider , is a matter for the public themselves to decide , for we think it is generally acknowledged that the principal companies of the country are alive to the fact that it pays to keep pace with popular opinion in such matters . Still , we imagine the change will not be general for some time to come on short journey trains , although it will be adopted as speedily as possible on longer ones , and thus an important step will have been taken in securing the safety of travellers , in regard to which the Board of Trade has so opportunely displayed special concern .
We have just received a pamphlet from the London and North Western and Caledonian Companies which is an interesting contribution to this question of the hour , as it contains a series of photographs of the vestibule trains , sleeping cars , and public refreshment and dining saloons now running on the West Coast route between England and Scotland . From this we
learn that to the London and North Western and Caledonian Companies belongs the honour of running the first trains in the United Kingdom connected throughout by corridors , and although other companies have not been slow to follow ; the example , the West Coast combination still strives to keep to the front in catering for the comfort and convenience of the travelling public .
It was only a few weeks back that thc North Western celebrated its Jubilee , so that ifc is ho figure of speech to say there are very many now alive who can remember the starting of the Company that has grown to the immense proportions it enjoys to-day , but how many more are there who can call to mind the awful " boxes" that were in use , even in recent years , for the of
conveyance passengers , especially if those passengers could not afford what was then considered the luxury of first-class carriages ? Let any such turn to the illustrations given in the North Western pamphlet of some of the present day third-class dining saloons running in the Company ' s corridortrains , and there is indisputable evidence of modern progress in railway travelling arrangements , and modern appreciation of luxury .
Although the pamphlet is primarily devoted to a series of illustrations , space is found for a record of the regular service to Scotland , commencing with the Day trains at 515 , 7-15 and 10 - 0 a . m ., followed by tho 11-30

Vestibule Express to Edinburgh and Glasgow , which are reached at 7 - 55 and 8 p . m . respectively , allowing passengers to reach their destinations in time for dinner ; luncheon , tea ana other refreshments being supplied en route . The well-known Corridor Express goes next , leaving Euston at 2 p . m ., for all parts of Scotland , and then there are the night trains , at 8 , 8-50 and 11 ' 50 p . m . respectively , to all of which Sleeping saloons are attached , so constructed as to provide each passenger with a comfortable berth . The
Saloons are fitted with longitudinal and transverse berths , and contain single and double berthed rooms . Attendants travel with the trains throughout , who will call passengers at appointed times , and supply tea , coffee , & c , as required . On arrival of the trains at their destinations the saloons are taken to a quiet place , where travellers may continue their rest undisturbed , so that it may truly be said that a journey to the north may now be undertaken with an amount of ease and comfort that our fathers would have hardly dared to dream of , much less predict as possible for the travellers of 1896 .
