'THE SIX DAYS' WORK OF CREATION IN HONOUR OF MASONRY .

Bro . J . Brisfcow , the W . M . of Lodge No . 446 , has furnished us with a printed pamphlet of twenty-one pages , consisting of prose and verse , and possessing considerable interest from its evident antiquity . He says : —

" I received ifc as a present from the Secretary -of Lodge Harmony , Cawnpore , of which lodge I was at the time Senior Deacon—this was in 1843 . The lodge now is called Harmony and Fidelity , and has a new number , 438 . I went to Bro .

Beaumont , the Secretary , to make it twelve o ' clock , { high twelve , ' as is the custom in the East , and while doing so the Secretary said , ' Bro . Brisfcow * , I have a little book here that was given to me by a very old Mason , it ' s jusfc in your style , ifc ' s yours

if you'll accept ifc . ' I did so , aud it has been in my possession ever since . All my books and papers were lost with everything else—including certificates—in fche ' Eastern Monarch , the ship I came home in ; she was burnt down at Spithead . Bro . Gray Clarke renewed my certificates for me . This book came home overland with

several other articles , including a magnificent jewel presented . to me by the TJmballa Masons , ( made by Folkhard and Son , Brighton ) , in a box which I left behind me at Kussowlie on the Himalayas . I Avent up from Umballa to assist in the

consecration of their new lodge , called the Triune Brotherhood , so called because it included the three stations , Kussowlie , Dugshai , and Subathoo . I went up some time after to assist them in working their new lodge , and the third time left my box

behind me ; they sent it home overland through . Thacker , Spink and Co ., so I got that all safe . The book was in that box . That is all I can tell you about it , except that no one but myself , and fche G . A ., has seen it since I received it from the

Secretary . " THE SIX DAYS' WORK OF CREATION IN HONOTJB OE 1 IASONRT . "We propose to give from week to week , as space may permit , some portion of the work . The woodcut here given , appears on the front page of the original .

God spoke ! and swift the spacious globe Was dress'd in beauty ' s richest robe , Prom sable Chaos sprung . The Sun look'd up with radiance bright ; And all the shining orbs of light In ether pure were hung .

May Masonry her sacred laws expand , And flourish far in every distant land . This glorious pillar , towering in the skies , Illum'd with light , long may ifc upwards rise ! Its base stand firm till nature all expire : Till then may peace each secret breast inspire ,

To live as brothers in fraternal love , Till they arrive in the Grand Lodge above . Cemented firm by friendship ' s social tie , As brothers live , and as true brothers die : Then light divine will show them to that place , Where love and friendship smiles in every face . Of light I sing ! the first great Source of light , Omniscient , view'd the shades of sable night ,
