The Consecration At Guildford.

kept locked except at the times their voices were required for the anthem and chorus , thus the Lodge was securely tiled for the ceremony . I think with some others that it would have been better that the ladies had not been there at all , but it would have been unbecoming in visitors to object to proceedings which were sanctioned by such distinguished Masons as Bros . DobieHarcourtand S . B . Wilson . For myselfI beg to that

MASONIC HALLS .

TO THE EDlTOIt 01 ' THE I'lJEEAIASONS' JI . U . 'AZINE AND MASONIC U 1 RU 0 U . DEAU Sin AXIS BUOTUKK , —I have only just now read last week ' s number of the Freemason * ' Magazine , or should have written to you sooner . 1 sec that you wish for some further information respecting the Alasonic hall , also some further particulars concerning that Lodge in Stuttgart which meets in private rooms . I am not thoroughlacquainted with this latteras it has been consecrated

y , since I left . "It emanated from some members of the Lodge Wilbclm zur aul ' gchendcn Sonne , and I believe is conducted on the same economical principle . Its first Alaster and its promoter , tbe late Bro . von Koellc , bequeathed to it £ 1 , 800 for the establishment of a benevolent fund . It meets as I said in private rooms ; that is to say a suite of rooms is hired in a private house which arc used only for the purposes of the Lodge and the social meetings of its members .

Of the hall of the Lodge "Wilbclm zur aul ' gchendcn Sonne ( William to the rising not setting sun , as translated in your paper ) , I enclose a drawing ivhich will explain it better than any description of mine , adding only by way of explanation , that in the front part of tlie building on the ground floor arc , on one side the apartments of the house steward , with kitchen , & c . ; on the uther the reception aud preparation rooms ; aud ou the second iloor the committee and conversation rooms . In the back part of tlie

building ou tbe second iloor is the hall or Lodge room , and beneath it ou the ground Iloor is the banqueting hall which coininum ' ca . tes with the garden . Should you wish for more details I will endeavour to procure tbem . In mean time , believe mc to remain , clear Sir and Brother , yours fraternally , 6 , Fen Court , May 20 th , 1859 . P . \ V .

THE GOOD HuSB . vxn , —He is careful that the wounds between them take not ayre and be publicly known . Jarros concealed are hall' reconciled , ivhich , if generally known , 'tis a double task to stop the breach ut home and men ' s mouths abroad . To this end he never publiekly reproves her . An open reproof puts her to do penance before all that arc present , after ivhich many study rather revenge than reformation . Fuller .
