POETRY .
THE LIGHT OF MASONRY . A STAR burst forth from the golden east , And shed its rays afar ; It brightened the rosy smile of Peace , And smoothed the frown of AVar . Pale Misery raised her palsied head ,
And sunk upon her knee , Ancl prayed the God of Love to bless The Light of Masonry . For , with prophet-eye , that child of grief Could trace its living ray , Mid the chequered fliht of coming years
g , Cleaving its glorious way . She saw it cheering the widow'd heart , AVhile orphans bent the knee , And prayed the God of Love to bless The Light of Masonry .
In many a heart she saw its ray Reflected bright and clear ; AVhich , nurtured thus in the way of truth , Pursued its true career . The love of God and man its chart O ' er life ' s dark-heaving sea ; And she prayed the God of Love to bless The Light of Masonry . AV . SHEWING .

GEM FROM THE OLD POETS .
HERRICK TO HIS MISTRESS . You say I love not , ' cause I do not play Still with your curls , and kiss the time away ; You blame me , too , because I can ' t devise Some sport to please those babies in your eyes . By love ' s religion , I must here confess it ,
The most I love , when I the least express it ! Small griefs find tongues ; full casks are ever found To give , if any , yet but little sound ; Deep waters noiseless are ; and this we know . That chiding streams betray small depth below : So when love speechless is , it doth express A depth in love , and that love bottomless . Now since my love is tongueless , know me such , Who speak but little , ' cause I love so much .
