Until the sound Of the Gavel
f.H I'm the EusI.

How few Masons there are whose
thoughts go beyond the unconsecrated
walls" which surrounded them whom the
above words are sounded from the East.
Our thoughts are so exclusively confined
to tho earthly lodge, and tho work there,
that the Immortal lodge on high is en-
tirely neglected.
We do not think that the gavel in the
hand of our Supreme Grand Master may
at any moment sound from tho East, calling
us individually to render our accounts 10
Him.
How often are we called upon to perform
the solemn ceremony, OF attending the re.
mains Of some dear departed brother to its
last resting place his spirit having re.
coived its dent from the lodge on earth to
that glorious Grand Lodge on high" which
our Elder Brother has gone before to pre-.
pare for those Of us who have served him
faithfully here.
How few Of us Gil up tho first eight
hours OF the day, or any part Of II, as wo
are called upon to do, bv tho service of
God, and the relief Of distressed, worthy
brother.
Oh brethren, let us bo more faithful, and
live up TO the obligations, which we so
willingly and fearlessly took upon ourselves
when we were rais> to that sublime dc.
gree.
Very few Of us. when we are called mp.
on to mourn the departure of some brother
from onr midst, but experience some feel
ing of awe, and our thoughts on such. occa
sions turn instinotvely to the time which
we know must oome to zach and every one
OF us, when we shall ho called upon to lay
aside the earthly jewels, and reooive our
demit from the lodge below to that lodge
above, there to render up an account of eur
stewardship.
| Then lot each one ask ourselves if we are
prepared for tho examination through
which We must pass before gaining admis
sion to the presence Of Him who sits in the
finished "sdRctuDl sdictoram" to govern the
universeP Can we pass an examination
that will satisfy our Supreme Grand Master
and will that ex tmintion gain us admission
| there ? t.
| five cannot answer these questions 20

whose Land rests tho gavel that shall call
each one to the place prepared for him,

Men Of Tennesseei
When Treason aed from Heaven, aud found IL

The angel Michael, following as It fell,
Chained the great demon. but as there foretold
That crawling serpent cunning as Of old,
Earihs sweetest daughter and earth's sunniesI
child.
Linked with luxury, her pampered Eve
Leaned TO the tongue that could so well deceive
And eating of the ashy apple, fell,
And fell, and fell, how far she fell, till ye
STOPPED to her rescue, men of Tennessee.
Ye sires of human freedom, overhead,
Ye noble fathers of the gluTious deed,
Gaze from the sky besprinkled with stars,
And christen these, the noblest sons of Mars.
And on their bristling battlements bcspread
Banners with bright inscriptions, where are read
Words that forever shall be there unfurled,
"We freed a nation you have freed n world"
Above your deeds, in their celestial glee,
The bells of heaven ring out their jubilee,
Men Of the Tennessee.
Ring il around the universe, and show
The great thought blazing in our Sherman's brow
Where, gazing flcm his 9re far below,
lie saw the curling, rattng, human foe;
And with his eagle eve, which naught could brook
With flashing wings and lightning swoop he took
The old Carunian curse and in his claws
Crushed it to nothing without pause.
Ye tongues of iron, ring it far and wide
From all your belfries Freedom ring with pride
Ye silver bells, in turrets of the sky, =
Ginning the thoughts Of angels, pure and high,
Ye starry towers, with those who nobly fought
Stands guardians of the truth, announced and
brought.
The rising sun has decked your nights with gold
And clothed you with its glory, and behold
The Angel Time, whom men have miscalled old
Beautiful and bright, as at its birth,
Writing great names upon the ringed earth,
Which like iron highways yet to be
Was grandy spanned by continents, and yc
Are Of theni men of the Tennessee.
In the Hesperian gardens OF the blest
Shines the great constellation of the West.
The stars may fall, as ON autumn night,
But these uufettered champions of the right,
With all the uncouuted ncbula of names,
Each justified through carnage, glory claims,
Are heavens fxd orbs of splendor. There they
stand
The grace and glory Of our native land.
And such are ye, men Of the Tennessee.

The pit, the worm, the darkness and the C ,Od
Thus lies the Mason, as if cursed of God!
Corruption riots in Acacan bowers,
Aud beauty molders meath the fairest flowers.
Is this, indeed, the destiny of man,
His home tie loathsome vault his life span ?
Must he W ION virtue crowned in life as just
Forever sl cp, dishonored, in the dust -?
Invoke the virtue that adorned him then,
And seek to raise that form to life again
Alas in vain apprentced virtue tries,
Her touch no warmth imparts, no life supplies
Yet there's another token mighcr still,
Which only science knows, and learned skill
Will not the brow which love did once iume,
Feel HER inspiring touch within the tomb?
The lettered Craftsman, with his cunning hands
Applies the token, but despaiiing stands
Death Mocks his learning, and the treacherous

Still binds the victim that his grasp would save.
Yet men shall live again a Lion hand

And he whom VIRTUE, GENIUS may not save,
