MASTER MASON'S HYMN. TUNE GERMAN HYMN Ah when shall we three meet like them; Who were last at Jerusalem; For THREE there were, and ONE is not. He lies where CASSI A MARKS the spot. Tho' poor he was, with kings he trod, Tho' GREAT, he humbly knelt to GOD; Ah when shall those restore again. The broken link of friendship's chain? Behold where mourning beauty bent In silence o'er hii monument. And widely spread in sorrow here, The ringlets of her flowing hair. The future SONG of Grief shall sigh. While standing round in mystic tie. And ruse their hands ALAS! to Heaven, In anguish that no hope is given. From whence we came or wither go, Ask me no more, nor seek to know, Till Three shall meet, whoform'd likctherni The Grand Lodge at Jerusalem.

FRENCH MODE OF SHOEING HOR

SES. Each nation of Europe has its own peculiar mode of shoeing horses. In America, we follow the English method, which is very different from the French The national antipathies of the French and English prevent, in

a certain degree, the adoption of

each other's improvements. An English physician will pertinaci

ously adhere to the use of emetics

because the French prefer catharticson one side of the channel the horses have long tails, while on the other thev are docked close to the rump: and an Englishman would no sooner part with his prejudices in favor of his own mode of shoeing horses, to adopt the French practice, than he would part with his light pumps and his couch, to trust his feet into the wooden sabots of a 'Norman peasant If we in America have na

tional prejudices (and who are

without them.-') I trust they are neither so unreasonable nor so violent as to makeus quite blind to

the merit of other prove ments.

A French shoe is shaped nearly

as the hoof of the horse is nat ural

lv weni when left unshod. An

English shoe is flat, straight, and runs to a point at the toe. Tr would seem that a little reflection on the foim of thef foot, aod the

nations lm

deemed the innovation not for I

the aood of the trade. !
