The Lancaster Gazette of the 18th inst. con.
tans a communication which we intended 10
nave copied last week, but which was inadver-
'ehtly omitted. The author, after noticing his
appointment to the Anti Masonic Convention.
adds:
have never been member of the masonic
maternity. have had no share in the popular
excitement on the subject of masonry. have
devoted no time to an Investigation of the facts
relating to it, and have only the superficial and
III uncertain knowledge which was gained by pub.
ilcatlons accidentally falling in my way. Il has
ceen my firm belief that the individual and bro.
ies'ional obligations of christian ministers did
NOT require that they should entangle them
seiVes in this concern. | have also believed
tnat their fellow-citizens, if prudent, would not
take measures to involve them in it. 1t has
oeen with me matter of deliberate conviction.
tnat II an evil existed, and of the magnitude
wh'ch some have believed, expediency called
iof other and more sober measures than have
oeen generally used, to be resorted to and relied
on on Tor remedy. In consideration of these
.ihlhgs, and with these views, shall not attend
the proposed Convention in Boston.

Departing year the voice is busbed

And hearts, with joy and pleasure flushed.
nave seen thee wasting in decay,
And felt sadness DER them steal.
Which the lone soul is wont to feel.
The young, the gay, the buoyant heart
ChecKs Its own !Ightness at this hour,
AND memory's sacred visions start
;, With an uncomfortable power,
upon the bosom IMAM looks back.
10 trace life's ever-changing track.
Since rosy Spring came forth in flowers.
with gladness painted or her brow,
Time has rushed swiftly on, the hours
Unheeded qassed-where are they now?
Seek ye an answer? Look upon
The Desolation they have done!
Friends have given up their beautiful,
For whom 1t was Joy to weep,
And laid them where the wind shall lull
The long grass DER their couch of sleep:
Earth and its woes shall ne'er destroy
The quietude which they enjoy
Friends have given up their lovely, they
Have gone, like flowers, to their repose:
Pals, chill disease and cold decay
Have stolen, as DER the summer rose,
Upon them, and their kindred turn
10 sorrow DER their Wondering urn.
Friends have given up their young, like dew.
They glistened in life's morning raw,
Then, like that exhalation, flew
To clines as sweetly pure as they,
Ere the cold worlds corrupting things
Had stained the soul or checked its wings.
Friends have given up their aged, whose locks
Proclaimed the weight of wasting years,
whose hearts had long sustained the shocks
or human woe, and grief, and tears;
And they have gone, tie good, the blest,
10 worlds of everlasting rest.
Such is earth's fate though man may boast
Ofthings all beautiful to-day,
Bat. come Tomorrow, they are lost
Like summer doors passed away
The fair, the lovely, bend the knee,
And all acknowledge Fates decree.
And what is man ?-to-day he hath
His name blazoned forth in story,
And thousands ornament his path
With flowers of fame and wreaths of glory
The laurel decks his manly brow,
And mortals in his presence bow:
Tomorrow dawns-the trump of fame
Has ceased, the sound with which il runp
his worshippers are changed,-his name
Dies like an echo on the tongue
And he-forgotten shall it be
Thus changeful in eternity? p

England" was duly remembered. The event
was celebrated in Plymouth by the " Pilgrim
Association" with peculiar fervOr and enthusi-

dinner provided for the occasion. Many excel
lent toasts were drunk. At Boston and other
places, also, the day was suitably noticed.
