our Lodges. The Grand Lecturer and
Deputy Grand Lecturers Of Georgia,
who spend much Of their time IN visiting
the Lodges, q mingling among the
Cram, say they find bat few who have
given the subject any systematic thought
or investigation yet, when the subject
IL suggested 10 a thinking Master Mason,
they seldom fail in fading a ready APP
probation OF the truth, and become Vt
once Impressed with a desire for light.
How are they to obtain IL? In no
other way than searching the Masonic
Library. There, and there alone, can
be found satisfactory explanations to the
apparently u~nmeaning symbols they find
laid down in the charts the transcend
ant beauties of the noble Order, its aim
and objects. How frequently do we hear
the question asked by the Masonic stu
dent enquirtng after truth, what IL Free
masonry and On what are its claims
founded to be the eldest society in exist
ence? Masonic writer's Of great learn
ing and research, who have spent much
time IN the investigation of its claims to
antiquity, term 1t the "Science OF Sci
ences; y and how few Of the brethren,
even Of those placed at the government
OF the Lodges, know the first principles
of the Order, further than a few OF its
oral traditions?
One Of our Deputy Grand Masters Of
this State, informed US, a short time
since, that, after delivering a two-hours'
lecture upon the silence and moral teach
ings of Freemasonry, to q cetain Lodge
in his jurisdiction, and making reference
to various authors on Masonic history
and jurisprudence, the Muster Of the
Lodge approached him, and asked
&c where he learned all this nonsense y
Said IN had been a hard Masonic stu
lent for fifteen years and he had ReUcT
read anythinghke it'll
What books have you read 20 said
the Deputy.
"Cross' Chart" was the reply.
This Brother had been a hard Masonic
student for fifteen years, and read moth.
ing but Cross Chart, and was astOnished
to find that there were n sucn books / n
existence as he had heard quoted from,
and he a Master Of a Lodge. But such
ign6 is too frequently the case
among OF Lodges, and yet they believe
they have been brought to light. 1t is
~inexeusable in the Master Of a Lodge,
and the day has come when they should
begin to dispel the darkness and igno-
rance of those called to preside over the
] LDlEES
The different Lodges should purchase
suitable works for obtaining information,
and select such men for officers as VIII
prepare themselves to I'll their stations
with credit TO themselves and honor tc
the Fraternity.

the Universe shall recognize all its mem
bers. To obtain this, it is necessary that
fraternal relations shall reformed among
all the legitimate Masonic powers.
In this conviction, the Lusitania Grand
Orient does not hesitate in its duty of
addressing the Grand Orient Of Boston,
and doing entire justice TO the Industrious
sentiments which animates them, and
prOpose to them the establishment Of
fraternaI relations, formed upon the basis
of a perfect reciprocity.

LInRARIxs FOR LODGES.

The subject Of speculative Masonry,
during the last thirty years, has not re-
ceived that general attention its impor-
lance demands; snd its consequences are
most clearly marked upon the workings
of our Lodges, and are fraugbt with re-
suits of a character which every observ-
ant Mason win deplore, and which, un-
less checked by a recurrence to, and re-
vivsl OF, the old practices of examination
and ~lecturing upon the speculative fea-
tures Of our Lodge teachings, will gradu-
an sapt the vital principles Of our institu-
ton, and we shall have nothing left to
sustain us but the vain, and, in such an
event. unnecessary ceremonial of our
time honored and symbolieal ritual.
There must be q o general inquiry
awakened among the Craft as TO what
the teachings OF Our ceremonials are de-
signed 10 be. There is unquestionably
too little attention paid to this subject in

In 1855, as by "Entiek's Constitu-

Agreeing with The writer Of the fol
lowing letter that "eompetition makes
the life-bleod Of 3 people lively and
bright" and not having till two DAYS
since heard that there was such a thing
as a Merchants Union Express Com
pany, we publish the letter, hoping il
may be the means Of making known the
nature Of the new organization, and
whether it is a worthy competitor Of the
old Express Company. It may possibly
be able to bring packages here from New
York in somewhat less than six or seven
days. And If its charges are, as is al
legged, much lower, our people have an
interest to know it. Competition may
probably produce other things than re-
duction of Changes and increased speed
for example, am increase Of p~oliteness.
