The Session not opening until Monday night, we devoted tl-e diy to vi.'iting old friends, making acquaintances, .sight seeing, &c. It wa.s gratifying to find the JoURN.VL so popular among its readers, and to learn that it has been regulai ly domiciled as an institution in so many households. i he opening ,'ession of the Grand Lodge was quite full, and the next morn ing swelled the list to over two hundred, among whom it was our pleasure to see a large number of onr old friends.

Verily, verily, we say unto thee, that it is e'asier for a one-legged man to join the Masons than for a dead-head, non paying man to get his name upon the sub- i step, to the anti-masonic age, when the ficription books of the Journal. | Order was not so popular as now, and the listened to the weird night wind as it wailed a ghostly tune.

Tlie war had eiide-i, and like the mul titude, our di'eanier was berelt of many friends—wealth had taken wings and flown away, and jiovei-ty a.s cruel as the grave, had banished comfort from her home. Did she repine ? Ah I no, for she had still her best beloved left, and a sun ny heart and vnllmg hands. She only leoriccf, and as she worked with heart and hands, dreamed beautiful dreams of, not a happier, but a iriyAto-future. Be fore her, in her dreams, a broader, grand er life arose. A life no longer devoted to self, but to the good of others. She saw before her, many whose young lives seemed to have v.o brightness; and others still, who in some “thoughtless hour" had cast a shadow over their hearts ■ and reaching forth her hand, she sought with tears and prayers, to aid the fallen, and comfort the distressed.
