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

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.

3. The G. M.'s reply. Concluding-" The Teachings of Freemasonry 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."

Composed for the occasion by Bro. Wm. H. Cutler.

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.

Of offended Heaven, Gave in smouldering smoke and flame

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