Excursion OF the st. Elmos.

The excursion of the Templars OF st. FL
mo Temple of Honor, at Vassalboro', took
place on Saturday. The weather was exceed
ingly favorable and in the afternoon a fresh
ening breeze afforded ample opportunity for
sailing. China lake may well be called beau
titul. Lying surrounded by hill, and valley,
forest and green fields, it is we'll calculated to
call forth EXPLANATIONS Of appreciation from
all true lovers Of nature. The boats were
well managed and the time spent in sailing
was real enjoyment, and the Temple odes
sang, if possible, with even more than COM
mon enthusiasm, went far towards completing
the joy of the hour. The chowder furnished
by Mr.. Bradley was frst-class article. Pas
try was furnished by the ladies who were in
vi,ed by the Brothers, and the table graced by
frosted loaves and bouquets of flowers, pre-
sented an attractive appearance. After din
ner several speeches were made. One by the
Past Worthy Templar set forth the rise of the
Temple of Honor, its early struggles, its sep
aration from the Sons of Temperance, its
gradual but sure growth, its present prosper
ty, and concluded by reminding the Brothers
that as in the ancient Temples, the sacred fires
fed by virgin hands were kept forever burn
ing, so on the affairs of the Templar's heart
should the flame of faithfulness burn steady.
