A TRIBUTE TO THE VALLEY.-In the Grand
Master's Journal of T. O. o. E. to the Virgin
ia Grand Lodge at its late session at Richmond,
Marion Colbert thus beautifully speaks of his
visit to the Valley: Never had better or more
conclusive illustration Of those fraternal feelings
which We labor TO cherish and promote than
here Far from my own home; literally g
stranger in strange land yet the cordial vel
come, the generous hospitality, the unreserved
confidence which met me ca every h.nd. al
once dispelied all feelings Of loneliness, and car
ried TO INF heart the pleasing conviction that
was stranger o8ly 10 name. The recolec-
ton Of thaE visit viii ever inger with me as one
of the brightest spots 10 my path of life. And
as On my homeward journey | turned again to
catch last recsding view of the gorgeous seem
cry 30 layiahly displayed, it was With growing
sadness at the thought that those snow-capped
SUBMITS, those beetling craes, those frowning
preeipiees might never bless my vision again,
SO as time moves on and bears me to the goal
of life, fond memory will turn again and again
to rafresh my spirit with the retrospect of that
delightful period, signing the while that it may
come no more.
"LOng, long be my heart with such memories
Like tae vase in which roses have once been dis.
TILED.
You may break, you may shatter the vast if you
But the scent CT the roses will hang round il
still"
