while, seated in hospitable array around

'Mrs Nettingley and her children sat

1t has been placed out Of communication
with many grand lodges from some ex-
traordinary deviations from established
rules.
Several months ago the Grand Orient
of France soIemnly resolved that they
would no longer recognize the existence
OF God in any ma onic rites. Consider
ing that Masonry is eminently religious
institution, wholly uncertain (Christians
and Jews being members with equal priv
lleges), this reputation OF tie Deity
was so extraordinary that the grand
lodges of Scotland and England, and
some OF the American lodges, took SINH
lar action.
Whether the great harm to the craft
which the action Of the Grand Orient has
WORKED will generally disrupt the Mason
&c brotherhood is copjectural. The ORR
ent has asked for secret convention of
the brethren in England, Scotland, Ire
land, and the United States, to meet in
Paris to consider the matter, but it is not
likely that tile invitation will be accept
ed. is more likely that the Grand
Orient will be repudiated everywhere.

The Turkeys Last Request.

Now, bark Yc, merry gentlemen,
And hush your foolish squabbles,
And listen to the Turkey, when,
His last request he gobbles.
lhe scanty time ] have to live
ls spent in observation;
80 pray you, gentlemen, forgive
The Turkeys dissertation.
do observe among you all
A seltishness surprising;
You're satisfied when others fall,
And envlous when they're rising.
This wicked world barn-yard is,
And, when a corn shower rattles,
Each Graves share that is not his,
And with his neighbor battles.
The jaunty fowl with head in air,
He crows in eyHltation;
The rest look of meekness wear,
And fawn in adulation.
But let misfortune clip his wings,
You meet him with suspicion,
And every friend the whisper filings
That watts him to perdition:
Opetty race of greedy men
That kills me at Thanksgiving,
Does conscience never pick you when
You see the way you're living?
How many of you spend your days
In honest, CHEEKY labor?
Whose head upon his pillow lays
At peace with every ncighbor?
You're merry when the skies are fair,
Your selt1shness pursuing;
r1l, - 4 i
And left for others doing,
What care you tor the poor mans lot,
Or for the widows signing?
Tie mournful sound We hear it not
Oforphan children crying.
To-day my coat is old and brown.
My gait an awkward hobble;
Mong barn-yard fowls seem clown,
My voice is but a gobble.
But when upon your board lie
In golden yellow glory,
With fragrant incense steaming high,
Then don't forget my story.
O petty race of greedy men,
When / have died for others,
Pray think upon your duty then
To all your suffering brothers.!
Above your head the skies are fair,
Der yonder roof they're murky;
| beg you'll send my drumsticks there,
And please the martyred Turkey.

publican gains. No republican town yet heard
