In Kincardine I found the work of the lodge second to none in the province , the members of the lodge had also erected a handsome hall , under which they have a store , which brings them in a large annual revenue . At Southampton I did not find thp work so complete , but much better than I anticipated , and when the isolated situation is taken into account , and likewise that the brethren have been left to themselves ever since the establishment of their lodge
( mine being the first visit they have ever had from a District Deputy Grand Master ) , they deserve much credit for having acquired so much of the adopted work , and what they have is in all respects correct , I am happy to add that I found a desire on the part of all the members of the lodge to attain to a knowledge of the work as soon as possible . My visits to tho other lodges were a mere matter of form ,
inasmuch as I was persuaded that they not only knew the work in all its details , but had ample opportunities of practising it . I granted dispensations to St . Lawrence ( No . 131 ) , Lebanon Porest ( N ' o . 133 ) , and Tecumseh ( No . 14 . 1 ) , to wear Masonic clothing in public at the festival of St . John the Evangelist , and a dispensation for the same purpose to 133 , at the festival of St . John the Baptist . I recommended the application for the establishment of a
new lodge at Lucknow , to be called Old Light Lodge , which recommendation the Most Worshipful the Grand Master has been pleased to entertain , and has issued a dispensation for the same . The following deaths have been reported to me : —Bros . John Adams , St . James ' s , 73 , St . Mary's , died July 24 th , 1866 , aged 22 ; John Robert Dark , Maitland , 112 , Goderich , died April 2 ndaged 25 ; Jonathan CarterBritania 170 Seaforth

As I have no desire to bo re-elected , I can speak without hesitation on a subject to which I felt it rather delicate to refer to in my former reports—the payment of D . D . G . Masters ; Grand Lodge should should make provision that their necessary
expenses are paid , either from the funds of Grand Lodge or by the lodges they visit . It should not he left optional with the lodges , for while such is the case , it is doubtful whether a single D . D . G . M . would accept recompense from a lodge . In taking my official leave from my brethren in the Huron district , I return them my sincere thanks for the many acts of kindness and courtesy received from them .

Poetry .
AUTUMN FLOWERS . Bx A . C . S . Blooming when all seems fading away , How beauteous are Autumn flow'rs , EemVring our garden walks bright and gay , E ' en in early Winter ' s hours . Like a friend unseen in the busy throng
, Who comes forth in affliction ' s night , Or a star which pierces the stormy cloud With its rays of silvery light . So the flowers of Autumn when all seems sad In the midst of the fading green Are seen smiling and fair—as tho" they were glaul To enliven the dreary scene .
Oh ! Father , we gaze around and view Each work of Thy mighty hand We admire the blossoms of every hue That open at Thy command . And we love each season that cometh round We are happy in Winter hours , But the close of the year to each heart endears Thy beautiful Autumn flowers .
Cheerfulness.
CHEERFULNESS .
As ACROSTIC . C ling to hope through every sorrow , H eaven hath sent it for our good ; E ach dark night must have its morrow E ver bear up as we should . E esting on our Father's mercy P or support in every grief ,
U nder each sad tribulation ; L ooking upward for relief . N e ' er give way to melancholy , E ver look on life ' s bright side , S orrow's hand may oft oppress thee , S till will God remain our guide . A . C . S .
