Reviews Of New Books.
ably written . ^ There is a beautiful poem , by " Sceur Louise , " also to be found in its pages . "The Debates on the Naivab of Surat Treaty Bill . " J . R . Taylor . London . This contains a fair estimate of the callous obfuscation and senseless injustice with which certain M . P . ' s , alias mere praters , in the House of Commons ,
where bad manners are common enough , but honesty and genius very iwieommon , endeavour to put down the voice of truth . The debate lasted four days , after which period , —a very short one , for our legislature to see light in , — " the House , " by the kind assistance of Sir Fitzroy Kelly , was at last safely delivered , after seven hours' severe labour , notwithstanding the efforts of Sir J . W . Hogg to protract the birth , and declared by a majority of nearly 200 , that if a man makes a promise he ought to keep it . Who shall despair of our legislators after that ? - " Is Lord Bacon the Author of Shahspeare s Plays ? " An Inquiry by W . H . Smith ,
Esq . Many of our readers are perhaps not aware that some , if not all , of Shakspeare ' s plays have been variously attributed to Sir W . Raleigh and Lord Bacon . The present essay , at all events , supports the claim of the latter as equal to that of Sir Walter , and the observations of Mr . W . H . Smith reflect great credit on his shrewdness T and indefatigable research . —— " Labour and Refreshment , " by Bro . the Rev . . Kingston . This admirable address we hope to place before our readers shortly , so that at present we merely acknowledge the receipt of it . We
opine that they will find it full of Masonic spirit , and redolent of that feeling which should characterize the Clergyman and the Mason . - "The Canadian Masonic Pioneer . " Montreal . We have had the pleasure of seeing the whole of our leading article upon " Toadyism , " recently published in the " Freemasons ' Magazine , " reprinted in the pages of our Canadian contemporary , but without acknowledgment . This is hardly courteous . With the exception , however , of this somewhat Yankee omission , the " Canadian Pioneer" is all that can be desired .
Anniversary Of A Lodge.
ANNIVERSARY OF A LODGE .
Translated by Rev . Bro . Heilbrojstn . My Brethren , our year Has drawn to its close ; For the good of our Order
Let each make his vows : And in the next year , Let each one hold fast , The duties and knowledge He learn'd in the last . With modesty , gay ;
Without licence , free ; To the laws of our country Good subjects are we . 'Tis in vain that his counsel The sage Master gives , Unless by his wisdom We fashion our lives .
Envy and such-like No good Mason knows , For each word ill-spoken Disturbs our repose . Let hatred and malice Flee far , far away , That peace may abide with us Ever and aye .
