advantages of the institution ! A man may have been
Member for fifty years, may have " changed one piper yet
another," or may have subscribed his two guineas nervily
during all that period, and yet, quitting the basiaat amid
being able to take in the said Newspaper or pay his one
guinea a-year, he loses the benefit of a fifty years sabstrip.

doing things, that the most fastidious must feel lathier!,

Better address him at the Freemasons' Tavern, where le

hours sooner than at the Freemasons' Tavern.
The ifith of the Rules and Orders perhaps give allege
information than the Uent.-Colonel intended, " Thetas
Society shall sot dissolve their connexion with the said
Traveller Newspaper or give its patronage to any ether, so
long as it shall be regularly published." We did Mt es-
actly know that it was in such a state as to raise a toile
about its being regularly published. The falling into a
decline or dropping off suddenly, would leave the Members
of the Society in a little hit of a dilemma, just when some
