Yarbokough Lodge ( No . 812 ) . —The press of business in this extensive Lodge required an Emergency meeting on Tuesday , the 19 th of February , Bro . William Vesper , W . M . in the chair ; and it was gratifying to see the worthy Bro . ^ initiate in the most able manner , it being the first performance of his duties since his installation . Two new members , Mr . Johnson Lamprell and Mr . William Bullivant , were initiated ; and Bro . John Travers , of Lodge No . 86 , was admitted a
joining member . Caistonbuby Lodge ( No . 955 ) . —On the 22 nd of February , we had the pleasure of visiting the above-named Lodge , held at Bro . Todd's , Canonbury Tavern , upon the occasion of its consecration—a ceremony so rare as to bring together a number of our most distinguished Brethren : among them we may note Bros . John Hervey , P .

which the Brethren had been called together , the whole of the apartment had been reconstructed and beautified , and its walls adorned with busts of ancient and modern worthies , famous in poetry or song ; its jets of gas , popping forth at regular intervals from out the clustering leaves from which they spring ; its mirrors reflecting and re-reflecting everything , and giving a tout ensemble well worthy a visit to behold .

little windows in the queerest places , from whence many of our past worthies looked forth upon the rural prospect spread out before them ; where the green grass grew for miles round the old tower without a break to the eye until you came to the heights of Hampstead and the tree-adorned slopes of High gate .

England to catch minnows with bent pins ; or dwelling upon the philosophy that taught , as the old angler did , thus : " When I would beget content and increase confidence in the power and wisdom and providence of Almighty God , I will walk the meadows by some gliding stream , and there contemplate the lilies that take no care , and those very many other little living creatures that are not only created but fed ( man knows not how ) by the goodness of the God of Nature , and therefore trust in Him . ,,
