In thee dee of the grand secretary of the Grand Lodge, in the Masonic Tempi, hangs fa oil painting of a woman dressed in Masonic regalia. It was presented to Colonel Ehlers, end is a portrait of Hon. Mrs. Aldworth, the heroino of this legend. She is said to have received. about the year 1735, the nret and second degrees of Freemasonry in Lodge No. 41, Doceraile, Ire land. The circumstances of this initiation were first published in Cork in 1807, end it was claimed that they were substantiated by an eyewitness to the ceremony. SuOsequentlv they appeared in a memoir published by Spencer, the celebrated Masonic bishop, in London. Mrs. Aldwortb. nee Elizabeth St Leger, was the youngest child and only daughter of the first Viscount Doneraile, of Ireland. The lodge in which ehe was initiated was an aristocratic lodge, consisting principally of the gentry and most respectable and wealthy inhabitants of the country around Doneraile. The communications were usually held in the town, bat during thw mastership of Lord Doneraile. brother of Mrs. Aldwortb, the meetings were held at Doneraile House, his residence. Speccer relates this etory of the affair: 1 happened on this particular occasion that the lodge was held in a room separated from another by stud and brick-work. The youn lady being giddy and thoughtless, and, determined to gratify her curiosity, made " arrangements accordlnslv With a pair of scissors, as she herself related to the mother of our informant, she removed r portion of a brick from the wall and placed her self so as to command a full view of everything which occurred in the next room. She thea witnessed the first two degrees in masonry, which was the extent of the proceedings of the lodge that night. Becoming aware from what ehe heard that the brethren were about to separate, she felt alive, to the awkwardness and danger of hersituation, and began to consider bow she could retire without observation. She became nervous and agitated, and nearly fainted, but so fer recovered herself as to be tolly awar of tnr necessity of withdrawing as quickly as possible. Being in the dark, she stumbled and overthrew something, a chair or some ornamental piece of furniture. The crash was loud, and the tyler, who was in the lobby or landing, on which opened the doors both of tht lodge-room and that whero the young lady was, gave tho alarm, burst open the door and, with a light in one hand and a sword in the other, appeared to the terrified and fainting lady. He wes soon joined by the members. Her life would have fallen a sacrifice to what was then esteemed her crimo. The first care of Lord Doneraile was to resus citato the unfortunate lady without alarming the hocse, and endeavor to learn from htr an explanation of what bad occurred. Having done this, many of the members being furious at the trasaction, ehe was placed under guard of the tyler and a member in the room where she was found. The members reassembled and deliberated as to what was to be done. For over two hours she could hear the angry discussion and her death deliberately pr&pofed and seconded. At length the good sense of the majority succeeded in calming in come measure the angry and irritated feelings of the members. It wa resolved to give her the option of submitting to the Masonic ordeal to the extent she had witnessed (Fellowcraft), and if she refused, the brethren were again to consult Miss St Leger, exhausted and terrified by the etorminess of the debate, gladly and unhesitatingly accepted the offer and was initiated. Sister Aldwortb, as she was c&lled, came into a large fortune by her marriage, and the poor in general and the Masonic poor in particular, had good reason to be thankful for her numerous and bountiful acts of kindness.
