by this alone they confidently hope to merit and retain the gcod
opinion and approval of their Royal Master.
Men ignorant of the real objects of our Order, anti accustomed
to speak slightly of it, may, from occurrences like these, be
induced to entertain a more favourable opinion of this Ancient
Institution, which folly has sometimes misrepresented and
malevolence calumniated ; but which, while it directs us to be
peaceable subjects, and never to be concerned in plots and con-
spiracies against the well-being of the nation, and while Kings
and Princes are enrolled under its banners, may defy the darts
of slander, and fairly claim the respect and confidence of the
community at large; assuring them that the principles of Free-
masonry invariably lead its members to
" Fear GOD, love their Neighbour, and honour their 11,1 o!"

There were alsapresent Brothers Leete, Coßyer, Clark, Ter-
rail, Harris, and Golding, to whose vocal talents the company
were indebted for several beautiful songs and glees. In the
course of the -evening, a Glee composed for the occasion was
sung, and attracted particular attention; the words (which are
here given) by John Finlaison, Esq. Past Junior Warden of
the Lodge, and the music by J. Al'Elonald Harris.
Victorious Guelph !—ln the volume of time,
. Who can point to the ern when first rose sublime
The young tree of Este o'er shadowing high,
The mightiest stems of renowned Italy P
In ages remote, cre from lVoden's dread shrine,
The Saxon had fled to the altar divine,
From thy princely root that brave scion upsprung,
Whose branches protective o'er Albion are flung.
A thousand years monarchs, the sceptre they away'd,
Ere the Queen of the Ocean, Britannia obey'd
Thy rule mighty Guelph 1 when her trident she gave
And bade thee reign paramount Lord of the Ware.
Oh I ne'er may those twin-rods of empire depart,
From thy glorious race while in one British heart,
Truth, honour, and courage beat highi as of yore :
While Britain's remcrubzed—till time is no more.
, (Signed) W. M. THISELTON,
