(.TO BE SUNG, IF DESIRED.)

We meet upon the level, and we part upon the square,

While many are the trials that meet us everywhere;

But is there anything to make our homes more sweet,

To please our kitchen charmers, and keep their realms more neatr

They've sighed and ached and wished the cooking steam and smell were

gone,

That iritate their tempers and cause their brows to frown ;
But joy now crowns their charming features, while they gaily sing,
Of furniture for stoves, the Steamless is the thing.

It saves the fuel, saves the food, its choicest flavor all preserves.

Say they who've tried it, and their verdict never swerves.

Now do likewise, and take the street they call East Madison,

At Two Hundred Ten (210), and see how woman's rights have just begun.

inculcate that m all our works, great or small, begun and finished, we should
seek the aid and favor of Almighty God. It is our first duty, then, to invoke
the blessing of the Great Architect of the Universe upon the work in which we
are about to engage. I, therefore, command the utmost silence, and call upon
all to unite with our G. C. in an address to the Throne of Grace."

Great God Eternal,— bow Thine ear unto us,
And hear, we pray, our supplications to Thee;
Grant unto us Thine aid and smiles to bless us,—
Thine be the glory.

Great God Majestic.— may Thy power be given
That we Thy will may do, and thus be blessed;
May we our work thus do in fear and reverence,—
Thine be the glory.

Great God Eternal,— may Thy benediction
Rest o'er our labors, and foundations laid
Be firm and true, that Thou accept it from us,—
Thine be the glory.

5. G. M.—R. W. Bro. G. T., it has ever been the custom, on occasions
like the present, to deposit within a cavity in the stone placed in the
north-east corner of the edifice, certain memorials of the period at which
it was erected, so that if the lapse, of ages, the fury of the elements, or the
slow but certain ravages of time, should lay bare its foundation, an
enduring record may be found by succeeding generations, to bear testi-
mony to the energy, industry, and culture of our time. Has such a deposit
been prepared?

G. T.—li has, M. W. G. M., and the various articles of which it is
composed are safely enclosed within the casket now before vou.

ODE.
By Robert Morris, L.L.D., P. G. ,¥., of Kentucky.

I.
When the kindled wrath

Of offended Heaven,
Gave in smouldering smoke and flame

The wealth that He had given ;
Though that day, in black dismay,
Saw our city melt away,
Yet we hoped, — 'twas not in vain, —
God would smile on us? again !

Chorus : Then deeply lay THE STONE !

Plant it firm and true !
So shall distant ages own
The work this day we do !

When the Stone is stopped, the Grand Honors are given by all the Craft
present, and one gun will be fired. The Stone is again lowered, as before,
the Choir singing the second verse of Ode.

II.

In its deep recess,

Set with mystic care,
Hark! our faithful witnesses,—

The Level, Plumb, and Square.
"Nations sink beneath the curse
"As they deviate from us;
" In unerring truth may yours
" Last while circling time endures! "

Chorus: Then strongly lay THE STONE !

Plant it firm and true !
So shall distant ages own
The work this day we do !

When the Stone is stopped, the Grand Honors are given by the Craft,
and two guns are fired. The Stone is lowered for the third time, the Choir
singing the concluding verse of the Ode. When the Stone is in place, the
Grand Honors are given as before, and three guns are fired.

III.
Hear our prayer, O God !

Thou, the Nation's Trust!
And let these walls majestic stand

When we arc in the dust.
Humbly,— we are but as one;
Hopeful, — are we not Thine own?
To Thy Name we rise and sing.

Chorus : And grandly lay THE STONE !

Plant it firm and true!
Now shall distant ages own
The work this day we do!

ODE, "AMERICA."

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,

Of thee I sing ;
Land where my fathers died ;
Land of the pilgrim's pride ;
From every mountain eide

Let Freedom ring.

My native country ! thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I lore ;
I love thy rocks and rills.
Thy woods and templed hille :
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees

Sweet Freedom's song ;
Let mortal tongues awake ;
Let all that breathe partake ;
Let rocks their silence break,

The sound prolong.

37. Benediction.
