POETRY .
MASONIC EXHORTATION . When the star of thy destiny glows , AVith a brilliancy gilding thy days ; When the free hand of Providence throws
The roses of hope on thy ways . AVhen the world seems to pour at thy feet , Its treasures in ne ' er failing streams : And th y hours , for such blisses too fleet , Glide smoothly , as young lovers' dreams . Let thy pleasures , reflected , be thrown
Mid the darkness of sorrow and care ; Make the cause of the widowed thy own , And thy wealth with the fatherless share . Let thy presence be sight to the blind ; A support to the weary and lame ; - ¦ •' , And thy voice , in its accents so kind , "''
Strive the wandering soul to reclaim . Let thy footsteps bring joy to the ear Of the sorrowing children of pain ; And thy tongue proclaim succour is near , To those who ' ve long sought it in vain . And despair shall not vanquish thy soul ,
Allien the clouds of adversity low ' r ; Nor the waters of misery roll , O ' er thy spirit with mastering pow ' r . For the pain thou hast helped tosubdue ; The anguish thy hand hath allayed ; Shall descend on thy spirit like dew , To refreshen—to solace—to aid . AV . SNEWING .
Impromptu.
IMPROMPTU .
