Address, .of a prepossessing demeanor herse- To the liditor of Tun LIBERAL A uumberof years ago there came into our village a. beautiful girl of about fifteen summers, a perfect stranger to all our people. date manner and amiable way of speaking; to those around her. won for her the sympathy of all who were. dis- posed to be kind to strangers. l‘ul' reasons best known to herself she gave an assumed name. by which she was always known among us. Her real name and the place she cattle from We never knew. The only reason for her singular appearance in our \ il- lagc was that, ::he desired to live a. re- ‘ ligious life, and that she was seeking the. way. Sullicieutly communicative on any other subject, she was reticent as to her antecedents: and her first reply would always settle the inquisitive. Independent. and Sell-reliat.t she had no desire to be a burden on others She had resolved to maintain herself. and requested a position as servant. in I in some respectable family. ’i‘his was swnred her by those who were inter- ested in her Welfare. A position which she filled with great satisfaction, per- forming her duties in a quiet unassum- ing manner. Her first Sabbath out. was spent in the Methodist (‘hurchâ€"â€"shc became a scholar in the Sabbath School and was I exceedingly attentive. She soon mau- 5t't sled that. her statement in reference to her search for religion was a serious one, for she early became an anxious enquirer and a diligent seeker after an experience that would give her the peace and joy she sought. In the Sab- bath School under the instruction of a kind andfaithfulteacherand thepious counsel of a christian lady. she was pointed to the. way of salvation. “"ith a heart full of love to the Saviour and with a countenance lit up with joy. she often testified before the members of the church in our religious services that she had found what she had long: sought. The young girl remained in our village several months and her ex- emplary conduct was such that it left no doubt as to the sincerity of the pro- fession she. made. From l-Zichmond Ilill she went to‘ Toronto in seat ch of another situation. Acting on the advice of a. friend she applied at the residence of a. well- 1 known photographer who was in search of an bony-keeper. The gentle- man answered the ring of the, door- bell himself, and was evidently startled when his eyes fell on the face of his fair applicant. Controlling himself he listened to her request for employ- ment, invited her in and gave. her the » situation. It was soon seen that the gentleman was remarkably interested in his young housekeeper. She was sent to school where she studied in earnest. to make up for lack of prev- ious opportunity, and made rapid pro- ficiency. then Sent her abroad for further acconiplishmeuts, and ulti- mately made her his wife. The secret cause of all this interest in this strange and beautiful girl was that several years before in some far northern village the artist had taken her photograph when she was quite a. little child. Attracted by its innocent beauty from the negative he had finished a. picture for himself, hung it in his studio, admired it until his ad- miration had warmed into love, and‘ his thoughts were continually going ' out after one whom he knew must now be approaching womanhood. “hen the object of his many thoughts ' stood at his own door and applied for a position in his own house, he recog-, nized her, took her in, fitted her forl the responsibility and made her mis- tress of his own home. Our heroine became a. member of one of the leading city churchesâ€"lived a life of piety and usefulness as a member of various organizations for the benefit of the church and the re- lief of the distressed. Surrounded by all that wealth (-ould procure, residing in a palatial resi- dence, and in the midst of prosperity, she was not forgetful of the past, but, when the opportunity offered visited our village, called upon and expressed her gratitude to those who had beâ€" friended her when friendlesswa stranger in a strange place. But her days were few. Not all the . comforts of a luxurious home, nor all the skill that wealth could obtain, could prolong a life wrapped up in a. constitution naturally frail 11] which, perhaps, the seeds of disease had long been sown. To the grief of all sur- rounding her it was found that she was early marked for the grave. Death laid its imprint on her fair brow, but her countenance still re- 126 tained its loveliness, and the beauty of her face radiated as on it rested the glow of resignation to the l)i\ tie '\\'ill. She was under the, pastoral care of the late. Rev. S. J. Hunter, who ad- ministered to her the. Consolations of THE °“’ENT RECORD, Baltimore, M. the gospel in the dying hour. Some time after the rev. gentleman told the pressious in anticipation of the joy that awaited her. he never felt so near heaven, for he fancied that he could almost. hear the flutter of angel wings She was as they waited to bear the spirit ofthe dying saint from earth to the, realms above.

At the last regular meeting of Pat terson Lodge, No. 265, A. F. & A. M., held on the 12th inst.., the officers and brethren presented \V. Bro. J. E. Francis with a. Past Masters Jewel as an ackuowledgement of his valuable services to Patterson Lodge. The presentation was made by Bro. John Drnry in a. neat address. of which the following is a part : WonsniPi‘L‘L Bno. FRANCIS,â€"I see by the register that it is just ten years since you were admitted into the mys- teries and privileges of Ancient Free- masonry and became a member of this lodge. From that time by your enthusiasm and work in the lodge you advanced step by step. till in 1895-96 you held the I‘Pspmisible and honor- able ofiice of \V. 31., which position you filled with credit to the. lodge and honor to the Master. II is evident to the older brethren, to each new member as he enters our portals, and to visiting brethren who assemble with us from time to time, that you have always had the welfare from the annals of Freemasonry. so. Thanks to you and your brethren we find to-day that our lodgeâ€"yes, Patterson Lodgeâ€"is one of the most energetic and flourishing lodges in the jurisdiction). Nor have your efforts been restrict- ed to this lodge in particular, but ex- tended to the whole craft. On several occasions you have represented us at Grand Lodge, and each time. you worked for the preservation of our ancient traditions and the. advance- ment of Freemasonry“ As a brother you have never for- gotten to practise the fundamental principk‘s of our order. Though I am a. young member and not far advanced in the science, I feel that I am sup- ported in my remarks by every brother amth 115. Knowing this and in obedience to the command of the W. l\l.. with the good wishes of the officers and brethren, present you with this Jewel, asa slight token of our high admiration we have for you as a man and a. Mason, and I am sure you will always wear and consider it as such, Ma.) you live for many years to wear this significant, emblem on your breast and to see further fruits of your labor in the future progress which we all feel is in store for Patterson Lodge. \V. Bro. Francis, in a few remarks ' filled with emotion. expressed his sur- prise at the manifestation of appre- ciation of his feeble efforts, and his best wishes for the success of the lodge. â€"â€"â€"â€"Q.o‘â€"___ Victoria Square A special collection was taken up at the Sabbath school on Sunday for the India Famine Fund.
