So much was sent us as new, We've found too late was quite untrue ; If wrong’s been done so let it be— With all that’s gone beyond the sea. So often we have been deceived, So much comes in we can’t believe, Much copy is thrown away to be— Burned and blown beyond the sea. Much work has been done for rich and poor, Who’s failed to pay just what they owe. The cash for some we never see— Debters have gone beyond the sea. Our life’s not been flowers, We've had to fight with mighty powers; But those predicts sure death for me Are dead and gone beyond the sea. Yes, Still Toe BEE can hum around, And gather sweets where such are found, We tell each week just who may be Called to go beyond the sea. And such, that to-night man lives again; They seem to call to you and me From mystic homes beyond the sea.

They ssw the Negro, young and old, Punished, chained, bought and sold ; Before they went beyond the the sea. We've heard the dreadful battle cry, To arms to arms ye black men fly ; Thousands as brave as brave could be— Was slain and went beyond the sea. These did not let their colors drag, But bravely bore their countries’ flag ; Was slain—like dogs for you and me, In honor, went beyond the sea. But have these living men been paid? Or promoted to some higher grade? No! But ostracised and pushed aside— For them our country shows no pride.

The Rite started in 1758 at Paris, France with 25°, (Sublime Prince) be- ing the top degree. Later it added 8° Degrees making a total of 33°. In 1762 the Grand Constitution was granted at Berlin, Prussia. In 1786 the Secret Constitution was alleged to have been granted at Berlin, Prussia. nowin 1750, Scottish Rite History tell us that In- spector Gen’l.

At the sametime two Councils were al- ready in existence in accordance with the article of 1786 and to-day there is a great talk of Spurious bodies, by men whoarein spurious bodies themse!ves: Furthermore, after 1850 5 Councils sprang up like mushrones. In 1881 a Council of Deliberation was held in which so called iegal and spurious Councils met in Grand Council and‘ the result was that the bogus and legal Councils consolidate and to-day there are stiil eight Councils and yet the Grand .cry is bogus.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local application as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf- !ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumb- ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed foregoing; nine cases out of ten are caused 5y catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con- dition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Doliars for any. case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars; free. F. J.

Duv’L FAKAR. It is so remarkably strange how | some society members can combine to! work out Degrees of Hatred and when it comes to performin acts of Mercy and Charity in conformity to their ob- ligations they are found wanting, but if in case of going to a pic-nic or on an excursion, my, what a lot of money they can show. but when charity is asked, I am sorry but] am unable to help you. Relative to circulars, judge by this time, my circular is all around but the essence of Perfection will make its appearance later. It will be a racy affair. It will descend to the bowels of the earth and ascend to the highest pinicle. As I said before, some of our friends have scuttled the ship. Now they must go down with it. As for me and my compeers, we have available life boats in reserve. Now in conclu sion, watch The BEE as some very 1n- teresting matter will appear from time to time.
