T H E [From the Odd Fellows Companion. The Song of the Blue-Bird. BY CHABLES WOLFORD. I come, I come, tlie herald of spring. The precuraor of rosy hours; I come, t come, and witli me 1 bung The promise of fruits and llowers. The balmy breeze from a southern glade, x\nd the clouds with their tearful face, Will awake the rills that long have had Asleep ill Old Winter’s embi-ace. '■J'he violet will ope’ its soft blue eye. And its tribute of friigraiice bring; Primrose and daisy will lovingly vie With each other la welcoming Spring. The twittering sparrow will soon appear, And build ’iieiith the cottage eaves ; Hedgerows and trees, now yellow and sore. Will put on their vesture of leaves. Then hail, all hail, the advent of Spring, Us sunshine and gentle showers, ’Twill gladden the earth and surely bring Kich fruitage of buds and llowers. I.OUISVII.LE, Kv Voting Thanks to Officers. GEO. FRANK GOHLEY. An irregularity, arising from t'ne best of motives, sprung into existence some years ago in various Grand Lodges, and thence in subordinates, of voting thanks to Grand Masters and Masters, which ir regular proceeding, we are pleased Eo'see, is falling into disuse. In the first place, a question which has to be decided by a vote, implies that there must be two .sides to it, out of which must of necessity spring a majority and a minority result, [t is hardly fair, and certainly not strict ly Masonic, to put any brother in the po sition of either conscientiously speaking or voting ope.ily against his Master or Gran I Master, or else submitting quietly to what he believes to be an error. If the vote is expected to be unanimous then the motion is unnecessary, as an act of supererogation, and as such, the result bears with it none of the significance of a compliment, beit.g merely looked upon as a matter of form. As a general thing the majority of the Masters and nearly all Grand Masters, deserve the heartfelt gratitude of the Craft for the faithful pertorraance of their official duties, and the more faithful the officer, the keener will be his sense of appreciation, even though unexpressed. It is perfectly proper for the Master or Grand Master to extend his official thanks to those who may have well performed the duties they had assigned to them, and as such it is a great compliment. But it is a very dif ferent thing for the Craft to debate or vote upon the merits of their superior officers. It is a position in which he does not wish to be placed, and as it is a mod ern custom, he feels better satisfied when it is not observed. It is not an outgrowth of Masonry, but of other societies, and like such transplants, should soo.i wither and die, leaving the grand old Institution again standing in its stern and solid sims plicity,— Voice of Masonry. Cures for Fits. For a Fit of Passion.— Walk out in the open air ; you may speak your mir.d to the wind.s without hurting any one, or proclaiming yourself a simpleton. For a Fit of Idleness.—Ooiiiit the tick ing of a clock ; do this for one hour, and you will be "lad to pull off your coat the next and work like a man. For a Fit of Extravigance and Folly. —Go to the workhouse and speak with the inmate of a jail, and you will be con vinced— Who makes his bed of brier and thorn, Must be content to lie forlorn. For a Fit of Ambition.—Go into a churdivard and read the gravestones, they will tell you the end of ambition. The grave will soon be your bed-chamber, the earth your pillow, corruption your father, and the worm your mother and sister. For a Fit of Despondency.—Look on the good things which God has given you in this world, and to those which he has promised His followers in the next. He who goes into his garden to look for cob webs and spiders, no doubt will find them; while he who looks for a flower may re turn into his house with one blooming in his bosom. For a Fit of Doubt, Perplexity and Fear.—Whether they respect the body or the mind ; whether they are a load to the shoulders, the head oi the heart, the following is a radical cure which may be relied on for I had it from the Great Physician : “Cast thy burden on the Lord, and lie will sustain.'.’ For a Fit of Pi,eyiiiing.—Look about f(>r the halt and the blind, and visit the bed-ridden, and the afflicted and derang ed ; and they will make you ashamed of complaining of your lighter afflictions. A train w’as carrying a clergyman and five or six youths who kept scoffing at religion and telling disagreeable stories. The good man endured it all, simply re marking as he got out : “We shall meet again my children.” “Why shall we meet again?” said the leader of the band. “Because I am a prison chaplain,” was the reply. The Eiissian Minister's establishment is the wonder of ail Washington. He and his wife go a.’oout on visits of cere mony, accompanied by a chasseur, who wears a sword and a cap with a long .drooping white feather. This chasseur sits on the box of the carriage, alongside of the Gcachman and dismounts when the carriage stops and with drawn sword up lifted, assists h s royal highness to alight, and stands in military fasnion till they re appear.
