Holiness is an infinite compassion for others; greatness is to take the oommon things of life and walk truly among them; happiness is a great love and muoh serving. —Olive Sohreifier,
EXTBAOT FROM A LETTER JUST BEOEIVED FROM <tm GEAND MASTER OF THB GRAND LODGE OF TENNESSEE, U.S.A., NOVEMBER 30, 1891, JUST on the eve of my departure for Liverpool, en route to New York, I received your present of 2 bottles of Buchanan's House of Commons Whisky. So pressed were we by the arrangements necessary to our voyage that I was not permitted to open the package at that tittle, nor did I open it until I reached my home, when the presence of a few of my intimates at my house refreshed my memory. I had one of the corks drawn, when—O, ye gods! give me eloquence-we tasted the nectar, not degraded by water or sugar, but in Its native nakedness. My dear sir, language fails me to desoribe the smiles, the smacks, the upturnlngs of eyes, the eniffiag, the wise examinations • through the pcllnoid glasß that enveloped it. To be sure you liavc such whisky, but there is not a drop of the like this side of the Pond; hence the other bottle is hid away in the darkest corner of my cellar, and it will be a morn thin friend that will drag it from its deep concealment. Aye, such a whisky, what cannot it peifonn ? Believe me, It would " Make the coward fight, Give the despairing soul new hopes, Drive away the darkest sorrow. Surely; wretches have by bumpers of it been taught A flow of wordf, a loftiness of thought. On the occasion of its trial in my library, it wbb the mirth that exalted the feast. Let me thank you, my dear sir, for the pleasure it gave, and also for that kindness of heart which prompted you to thus lay under obligations of gratitude the foreigner you saw for the first, but I sinoerely hope not for the last, time. To be obtained at all the leading hotels and wine and spirit merchants throughout the colony. MILWARD AND FRASER.
