CHAPTER XI.

A CABINET COUNCIL,

" If you please, sir, my lord would be glad to speak to you for a few minutes before you go out." Mr Brnckeubury laid down Iho hat which lie was just about to put on, and obeyed the paternal summons. This was iv the hall—a | large square hall in the Italian style, with a iiuo central stair case leading to a gallery from which the upper rooms opened. The walls above and below were hung with paintiugs, chiefly family portraits. Four good modern copies in marble of four famous statues —the Apollo Bclvidcro, the Antinoas of the Capitol, the Diana of tho Louvre, and the Diadumenos of the British Museum—occupied the four corners of the ground-floor. Tho library and dining-room doors opened to the left, the morning-room (and drawing-room doors, to the [right; while the ball-ioom faced the main entrance, nud was approached by two doors, ono at each side of the staircase Mr Brackcnbury turned.to the loft, opened the library door, and went in. It wm a pleasant, well-proportioned room, lined with bookcases, and'lit at the farther end by a largo bay window. The books wore for the most part richly bound ; and on the tops of tbe bookcases were busts, and bronzes, and majolica jars bright with blue and yellow arabesques aud mediaeval coats of arms.

" Cuthbcrt," said Lord Brackenbuty, standing up spare and straight, with his feet on tho tiger-skin rug, aud his back to the lire ; " Cuthbert, I want a littio talk with you—a little serious talk, if you cau spare mo n few minutes. Sit down."

The young man looked surprised, took a chair, and said :— "Certainly, Bit I am all attention."

"It is now more than a year since you left Oxford," "Fifteen months, on Monday next." "Just so—fifteen mouths. And you have I hope, spent the timo pleasantly?" " Very pleasantly, sir." Lord Brackenbury paused. He never found it particularly easy to sustain a conversation with his elder son; and to-day it seemed more than usually difficult

" I know how lond you are of yachting." he said ; and paused again, " I ought to be fond of it, sir. You havo given me a charming yacht." "Aud of Italy,"

" It is my native country." A flash of quick displeasure rose to Lord Brackcubury's face. "An Englishmen's native country is England," he said hastily ; "no matter on what soil he may chance to have been born."

There was another silence, during which each wailed for the other to speak again. Then Lord Brackenbury changed bis tactics, He abandoned his position on the hearth rug, dropped intoan easy chair, audassumed a more confidential tone.

" To return to the point from which wc started," he said. " Life has its duties as well as its pleasures, and there are things moro important iv this world, my dear fellow, than yachting.

" Undoubtedly, sir."

"You are twenty-three years of age. "Not quite. I shall be twenty-three in January, and we are still iv December,

Lord Brackenbury laughed. It was a pleasant laugh, though perhaps a little forced.

" You are a precisian," he said. " I had not learned to measure my words and speak by the book, when I wne of your age. We will say, however, that you are twenty-two years, eleven months, nud twelve days old ; and at twenty-two years, eleven months, and twelve days, it ia time, according to my old-fashioned notion?, that a man should begin to make something like serious use of his life'

" What is the particular use you wish mo to mako of mine, sir ?" " Well—there are two particular uses I should bo ghd to sec you make of it, Cuth bert,"

"And those are?—

" To marry young, and go Into Parlia ment."

Mr Brackenbury looked grave, and the lines about his mouth grew set aud hard. " I have faith in early marriagos,"puraucd Lord Brackenbury, watching his sou's face somewhat anxiously ; " especially when one has a position to fill, and a large future stake in the country. A young man can hardly be said to have struck root in his native soil till ho marries. Now I want yon to strike root, my dear fellow; and to strike root quickly—not to go on floating about the world liken thistledown."

Still Mr Brackenbury was silent " Well, said his father; have you nothing to reply ?" " Oot much, sir; except that matrimony in the abstract has no attraction for me. I am not a marrying man." "Yon think that, because it is a subject to which you have probably given no con sideration. But you would sec it in a different light if you felt that by marrying any one particular person you were doing what was just and right—what your father wonld wish, and the world and your own conscience would approve." " Do I understand, sir, that you are advocating a marriage, not of inclination, but of duty ?" Lord Brackenbury was momentarily cm barrased by the directness of the ques tion.

" To a well-trained mind, Cuthbert, duty and inclination arc one," he replied, some what evasively. Mr Brackcnbury smiled. "Pray como to the point, sir," he said, with the slightest possible inflection of irony in the tone. " Wno is the lady ? And why is It my duty to marry her?" Lord Brackenbury felt that when these questions were . asked, the worst was practically over. To answer them was easy. His cause was generous, and he was him self so much in earnest that to plead it with effect was not difficult. Besides, he was too practised a diplomat not to be aware that, where matrimony was in question, a young man of unimpassionate temperament wonld be less difficult than one more ardent and romantic. So he said what he had to say, and said it well, warming with his sub ject as he went on—showing how the old Squire had unwittingly sold his son's birth right for a mess of pottage—how ha- d it was for the Langtreys|to loose so great .% fortune by so|merean accident—how doubly hardit was for two helpless worncn noi? left in poverty and alone—finally, how. ;-;oodjand and equitable, and chivalrous an art.'oJ resti tution it was inhisson's power to perform by marrying tho penniless heiress of The Grange. Mr Brackenbury heard his father to the end and said:—

"Do you mean the little girl whom I sco in tchurch with old Miss Laugttey on Sun days." "Miss Langlray is not old, my dear fellow," said Lord Brackenb'iry. " She is perhaps tour or five years my senior ; and I am not much over fifty."

" Well, sir, I may be Injnst to the aunt, hut one canJliai dly be mistaken as to the neico. My bride elect is about twelve years of age." " Upon my houoar; no. Sho is fifteen, or nearly so. Her mother married at twenty eight, and wonld bo forty-tour now if she were alive. This child was, I think, born in the second year of her marriage. She looks very young, but she is no more twelve than I am." .-. ■

"Even supposing the young lady to be fifteen, don't you think, sir, that you are forecasting her future somewhat prema turely?" "My dear Cuthbert,'" said Lord Bracken bury impatiently, " I am not asking you to go at once to Tbe Grange, and propose to Miss Savage ! I only sock to—to induce you to be willing (o marry her by and by—say three or four years hence—if the affair can be arranged meanwhile between the two families." • " Three or four years hence 1 Nay, sir, who shall guess the possible inclinations of a little girl of fifteen some three or four years hence?'' . "My idea is to have that little girl, as you call her, brought up to look upon you as her future husband. Girls, you must remember, if well-trained, have really no inclinations of their own. A judicious parent or teacher forms their inclinations in finishing their education, just as a skilful cook adds this or that flavour bef <re .-end ing a dish to table." .'-... j " But suppose the cook —meaning, I presume. Miss Langtrev—declines to add the desired flavouring? I have always understood that Miss Langtrey was her brother's echo ; and that if the late Squire was a good hater, hi 3 sister was still a better one."

Mr Brackenbury laughed softly. "Leave Miss Langtrey to me, Cuth bert," he replied. " I will undertake to manage her." " Having managed King Boraba so long, sir, I should think you conld manage any* body," said Mr Brackenbury.

Lord Brncknnbury winced. The King of the Two Sicilies was in his eyes a legitimate sovercignjof the lirst water; and the popular nickname grated disagreeably upon his car. But lie was too politic to notico ii."

" Then, my dear Cuthbert," he said, " we aro agreed}" Mr Brackonbury hesitated. "If I marry at all," he said, speaking vory slowly, and looking all the while into the iiro ;—" If I marry at all, I would as i oon many Miss Savage as any other young lady—provided she be good-tempered, well brought up, nnd so forth ; but ns a fact, I would prefer to remain singlo." "In your position, Cuthbert" . . . " I beg your pardon, sir—pray hear mc to the cud. I would " prefer," I say, to remain single; but in deference to your wish, and in consideration of tho circum stances of the case, I consent—provided that Miss Langtrcy is friendly aud tho youug lady, when of due age, not averse So much for your matrimonial project. With regard, however, to your political project, I regret to say that I cannot entertain it." Lord Brackenbury's brow darkened. "lYou mean that you decline to go into Parliament?"

" I do, sir."

"Absurd! Why, with a close borough bore ready to your hand, aud all my in fluence at your back, you would bo a Cabinet Minister by the timo you were fivo aad thirty 1" " I am very sorry, sir," said Mr Bracken bury ; " but if there is one career moro dis tasteful to me than another, it is that of a politiciau. Besides " " Besides what?" ''There is yet another objection—an insuperable ono, I think, in your eyes." " The objections aro on your side Cuth b'rt. There can bo no possible objection on mine. That you should represent bracken bury is almost the dearest wish of my heart."

" That I should represent it you moan, according to tho family tradition," said Mr Brnckeubury ; " hut I could not represent it according to'the family tradition." " In the devil's name, Cuthbert, whnt do mean ?" exclaimed Lord Brackcnbury, for getting, iv the warmth of the moment, nil his diplomatic suavity. " I mean, sir, that if I havo any political leanings or viowo whatever, I am a Liberal?"

"A WHAT?"

"A Liberal, sir."

A Liberal ! Gracious heavens ! Lord Brackenbury's hair all but stood ou end. If his son" had proclaimed himself n Carbon arist, at Fouricrist, a regicide, he could hardly havo beon more uttorl j nghast. Up

THE RELIGION OF MASONRY.

Thk Rev. W. Tebbs, M.A., delivered tho following lay sermon at the opening ot tho now Masonic Hall at Remuera :—

St. Matthew, v. 28, 29; "Consider the lilies of tho Held how they grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that even Solomon iv all his glory was uot arrayed like oue of these." Solomon, the synouym for all that is greatest and most wonderful in riches, power, and wisdom 1 How magnificent are the scenes that rise before our mind's eye when we try to picture the glories of that court and kingdom-tho splendours of that wonderful house, so marvellously gorgeous " that the royal master-builder " ereoted for the Lord God of his fathers; tho grandeur of which was enhanced by tho. awful pre sence of the dread Jehovah Himself—the mighty God of Israel under the veil of the resplendent cloud consuming by heaven-sent tiro the sacrifice offered to His Divine Majesty. King, priests, and peoplo siuk- ' ing to earth with cyc3 averted Irom the | brilliant vision. And thou our minds Hy back with lightning-like rapidity to time 3 of old, when man had not thus to veil his face in the presence of his Maker; when ' Sin and Sorrow had no place ia this young world ot ours; when possessed of all requi site knowledge, and every need supplied before the want was felt our progenitor Adam walked so innocently and trustingly with his Divine Father amidst the beau teous glades of Paradise. But in this rapid mental passage up the stream of time we have passed over without a glance many and many au age of igaorance and dark ness enlivened hero and there by fitful gleams of light—such instances as Jabal's skill in handicraft, Enoch's in architecture, Jubal's in harp and organ, aud Tubal Cain . tho metal-wcrker. It really seems as though the knowledge undoubtedly pos sessed by Adam-to him revealed by God— ' was lost to his descendants at tho fall, and that they wero incapable ot more than retaining—and then only ia solitary instances — save disjoiutcd fiagments of the learning wherewith he was fain to ' have endowed them. Strange fact again that this more secular knowledge seems not to have been wed to a knowledge of the Truth. Enoch, Jabal, Jubal, Tubal, and their kin were the race, not of Seth, bat of Cain. Abraham was called from oat of ; a race of image-makers to bo the friend and devoted follower of his God. The descen dants of the Prince of peoples, Israel, on the other hand, lost those arts in their, pastoral sojourn in Canaan, and had to gointo captivity in art-loving Egypt to recover the requisite skill to build their cities in the promised land. Whilst on the other hand, a«ain, there's a denizen of thorns, Pharaoh s court brought up amongst the priests of On, learned in all the arts and sciouces of the Egyptians must yet go to Midinn, there to bo indoctrinated by the father of the Shcnnites, Renel, with the One and Only True God. Strange, pa*sing strange, that true masonry, whilst preserving in their early ages the knowledge of the great "I Am" yet must go to bodies of spurious ma&onry for a knowledge of the arts where-: by they should build the temple of their God. Here, at tho very first revival, as it were, of the usefulness of tho craft we hnd the line of demarcation clearly drawn be tween operative masonry, and our own masonry free and speculative, and the clue to this mysterious anomaly seems to be that tho former, then as now, was merely the symbolical garb of tho true light preserved iv the lattor-the key to the mysterious symbolism being lost uutil the cOpe-stoncof these different sides of the arch was found — the cope-stone being the devoting of the real to tho spiritual the workmanship of the hand and the intelligence of the mind to the worship of the soul. Let us not though bo misunderstood to speak too dis paragingly of those spurious or imitative systems, for, there was in reality a deal of truth in what they taught, although the truth was seen but hazily as it were through a veil, and the light shone but dimly through the opacity of the teacher s minds—and yet the truth, though parted, nnd the light, though dim, was there of all theso systems of mysteries of old, the fundamental doctrines of the One-ness of God aud the immortality of the soul were "raison d'fitra." Witness Eleusis, India, and even the island of the Southern Seas Witness, too, their adhercuts Plato aud Aristotle, Socrates and Cicero,—and then, let those who will deny doubt it, we still maintain'that iutbe midst of heathendom a knowledge, if an obscure one, of God pre vailed. Why, eveniin Egypt—the myriad idoled—have we not proof positive of this in the Temple and Priests of On, i.e., of the One True Living God Most High. Next wc come to the utilisation of masonry iuthe building of the Temple of the Lord To Moses the doubly instructed in On aud Midian, the great Architect of the Universe, revealed His plans. Connecting with him self two operative masons, Aholiai and Bezadel-who were " filled" (as Moses tells us) " with wisdom of heart to work oil manner of work, ot the engraver, and of tho cußuing workman, and of the embroiderer, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning J work." Moses erected the Tabernacle the first known material Temple of the Most Hi«h. Further down the stream of time wo" como to The Temple "par excel lence," "The Temple of Solomon Words would fail were we to attempt to describe the grandeur nnd beauty of this structure, Suffice it to quote the words of the sacred historian, that it was "exceeding magnifical." This was built, as we know, by the three Master Masons -Solomon, the speculative, who took his plan from that of The Great Architect, as embodied in The Tabernacle ; Hiram, the King of Tyre ; and Hiram, the widow's son, wbo was, as we read, of the operative masters of Tyre and Sidon. " Skilful," the chronicler, calls him " to work in gold and in silver, in brass, in iion, in stone, and in timber, in purple in blue, in fine linen, and in crim son ; also to grave any manner of graving. | and to Hud out any device which shall be put to him." At tho restoration once more of the Jews to their own land the second temple was built under Zerubbabel, Joshua the son of Jozedek, the High Priest, and Ha™ai the Prophet, This temple, it is triie,° was far less magnificent than the other, for, as Haggai narrates the coming of the message of God through him to his two Co-masters, " Who is left among you that saw this house iv her first glory ? And how do ye see it now? Is it notinyour eyes in comparison of it as nothing? Yet now," he continues, "be strong ... • I am with you, saith the Lord of Hosts . ond I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of Hosts; The glory of this latter houso shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lbrd'bf Hosts, and in this place will I giro

peace." Given when the Lord suddenly came to His temple 1 when " a greater than Solomon was there 1" Here was the culmi nation of all Masonry when to the Arch waa set the Cope-stone, the one Grand nnd Royal Master—Eternal of the Grand Lodge above 1 Now was Masonry to take its full and proper place, when it was to be the systematic rule, applied no longer to material wood or stone, but to tho living substance of the human heart I Henceforward the mason's work was to be the building up of a living temple unto Iho Lord—eternal in the heavens —every stone a man, body, mind and soul, and the cement that should bind those stones together, the Holy bond of brotherly love and the bond the union in the Cope-stone, the Master I From heuccforth nnd for evermore could God be worshipped in " temples not made with hands." Those temples which He des cribed when speaking of Himself we read : " He spake of the temple of His body," in asmuch then as wo were "made in God's image," aud that Ho took that form upon Him." " Our bodies," too, together with our souls, are as the " Wise Master-builder.' St. Paul declares " the temples of God's Holy Spirit." To-day, then, Brethren, it concerns ns to inquire how arc wo to build these individual temples of ourselves. Let us go back once more to the temple-building, and on each occasion what do we find ? That the work is not only planned, but executed; through human agency it is hue, yet really executed by the Great Architect of the Universe Himself, Not only was the plan of tho tabernacle revoaled by God to Moses iv tho mount, but even the two leading operatives were inspired by Cod— "Sec, tho Lord hath called by name Bezabel.... and Hchathfilledhimwiththe Spirit and of Cod in wisdom, in understand ing, and in knowledge, nnd iv all manner of workmanship." To build the temple Solomon declared himself, in his |roply to Hiram, commissioned by God—"The Lord spake unto David, mv father, saying : Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name," nnd whilst the Architect the Royal Grand Master took, as we have seen before, the Tabcruuclo—God's model as his pluu, tho Operative Master, Hiram, the widow's son, we read was "endued with understanding."—ln the case of the second temple, whilst it Was built on the lines of the former ono tor its projections, the Jews wero indebted to God. " Blessed," says Ezra, "be The Lord God of our fathers.J which hath put such a thing as this in the King's heart, to beautify the honour of the Lord which is in Jerusalem. So in the temple of living stones not only wns tho whole projected by the Almighty Architect before the foundation of the worlds, but every individual stone is polished by His hands. "By the grace of God I am what I am," said ono of tbe most polished in tho material temple. There are mauy stones—some to honour, some to dis honour—whilst others go to form the taper ing pillar or tho high-sprang arch ; many, nay most, are but the four-squared ashlars of the walls—nay some even of ruder mould may be buried out of sight iv the founds tion. Not the least useful these — the quiet unassuming weight-bearers, aud though their very existence may bo unknown to or ignored by their fellows, their virtues are all known to and recognized by tho Architect. All these have been prepared by many a rude blow, and with excrescences struck oil' by the workman's tool now (ill their placo in tho House of God. Now, Brethren, it is just in this way that the Great Master polishes us, the living stones of His eternal temple. Those He has prepared moro out of sight; those pertcct squared the mainstay of the building; those more ornamental, those upon whom the Master has done more work and laid a heavier burden, whilst those who occupy tho placo of honour iv the fane—tho highly wrought, carved and cuuniug work, aro those " into whose souls, like Joseph's the iron has entered most deeply." To such as these comes refreshment in the toil in their Master's words. "Take no thought for your life, for what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink ; nor yet for your body what ye shall put ou. Behold the fowls of the air, they sow not neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Yet your Heavenly Father fcedeth them. Arc ye not much better than tbey ? And why tako ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil not neither do they spin ; aud yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory wns not arrayed like ono of those." Where fore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is and to-morrow is cast into the ovcu shall He not much more clothe you? Therefore, take no thought sayiug what shall we cat ? or, what shall wc drink? or, wherewithal shall wo bo clothed? For your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seok ye first the Kingdom of God und His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." These concluding words, brethren, point out that which is to most of us the lesson of the present hour. "His righteousness." But what is this ? " Pure religion nud uudefiled before God and Tho Father is tbis : to visit the fatherless and widows iv their nflliotion and to keep himself untqiotted from the world." To-day, then, whilst we " rejoice with those who do rejoice," let us not forget to " weep with those that weep." Let us keep ourselves " unspotted froni the world " in showing that wc are above the love of pelf and greed of gain by giving your worldly substance to those who need. Let vi bo prepared with the vow of ready aud heartfelt sympathy to soothe a brother's woe. Let us think once more in the words of the Wise Master builder, St. Paul, upon "the founda tion already laid;" such a superstructure as God gives us means and capabilities of erecting, and thus shall we be building our selves up as " temples of God's Holy Spirit," and thus squaring ourselves into the perfect Ashlars of the "Temple Eternal in the Heavens," there in that Grand Lodge where our Grand Master St. John " saw no temple, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb aro the temple thereof"—no temple within it, because it is {itself the everlasting temple of tho Lord, knit together of all these living stones, in the unity of the Eternal Grand Master, the " Head-stone of the Corner."

POOR HELPLESS YOUNG MEN.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—I think somebody ought to take up the cudgels for that much ill-used and under paid, and in many instances, never paid class, yclept, the boarding-house keeper in reply to your correspondent " Home's" remarks. While there may be, and no doubt is, a shade of truth in his somewhat exaggerated statements, I would ask if the boarding-house keeper has not often a great deal to put up with in her various lodgers, amongst whom may be found the young man who thinks all children ought to be smothered; the young man, musical, who plays the trombone or some other noisy instrument, regardless of the feelings of others ; the young man who turns his bedroom into a workshop; the young man who wants to sit reading in bed half "the night, and expects the house to find him in candles; the pious young man who wants to have nothing done without prayer; the Free Thinker, who hates all prayers; the young mau who is never out, but haunts the house ; the ono who is never at' home; the one who pays only when continually asked;; and more frequent tho one who never pays, but is ready to rob the widow and the fatherless. 1 think your correspondent has very unjustly and snobbishly classed all homes in the city. lam quite certain there are plenty of comfortable homes tor young men who are prepared to pay thoir way honestly and act as young men of jjood reputation should do. Not boozing, billiard playing, cads, or hypocritical sanctimonious howlers, who, under the cloak of religion, hide every petty mean ness and deceit. There are so many res pectable widow ladies in this city that I believe there are greater facilities tor res pectable privato boarding-houses than any other t.iwn in the colony, to say nothing at all about Workiug Men's Clubs, Free Library, cheap evening educational classes, Young Men's Rooms, prayer meetings,. &c.—Yours, &c, Anti-Snob.
