_"ii nl! do remenber the pledge, whici. .i. liie cliaste liingunge ofour ini¬ tiatory ode, we did chant to our brother when he did first enter our tents and en¬ list under our banner—
" Hail, brother !   Hail!   -should  e'er af¬ flictions crave, "We'll fly 10 succor and lo s,-jve," Let us then be true to our obligation ; Anrl fly to the rescue— "Cry  havoc ! ani let Slip   'he  dogs of war!"
Thc W. P. further calle.l aliention to the fact thalseci-eis ofour Division had been divulged. For tiovv else, said lie. could tlie ravening vvolve.s have knovvn ihal our brother had used tho Black Palls upon tlif'ir great Goliab ?    And he
Ihey sha

decides who is eniitled to llie fl.ior. '
Tlie W. P, ihanked broihor Equinox for referiinR him to the rules wliich iu: s.iid, had entirely escaped Ins memory ; and gave a hird knock with tho gavel : whereupon broiher Peckersnifi'iTomjit ly seated himself. But brother Sneez'e- fiiuter held out for some time and pro¬ testing seated himself reluctantly, !ook- ine quite belligerent at lirother Pecker- siiifl', but he met there an unflinching eyf which brother PeckersnifTkept stcad- i'.v fixed (Ifl brother Sneezlefanler unlil he saw hirn quietly seated.
The W. P. decided that broihei- Peck- ersniff was entitled to the floor. Broth er Sneezlefanler appoaleil from tbis de¬ cision. But brotlier Equinox, in a short C'luversntfon wh'ich was permitted by the W. P., succeeded in convincing brother Sneezlefanter, by rcadif)t» from the rules of order, that ttiere was no ap¬ peal from such arlecisioii. For, said he if, vvlif-n two brothers claim the floor the quesiion were pi-rmiticd to bc discussed, and then an apyieal allowed from the decision of thc W. P., vve wouid never £;ci to business. All that is neces^ary in such cases, is that the W, P. decide prompily, and stop at once.idl discjission. It were better that he should decide vvrong, than    to  hesitate.     This   arises

Death which I savv on '.he pale horse of the Apocalypse, vvas ihe -utter destruction that vviiuld come Ujion our beloved or- '^ i der, if we continued 10 admii among us, Uiiworil.v lueiiibers: That lhe icoZ/that was socking to devo.ir lhe lamb vvithout spol, Wiis an enemv tint would seek lo enler our gates ; ani timt our Black Balls would slay him and naii him to the accursed cross. N'ow \>'orihy Pa¬ triarch. 1 do believe t,-.at this is the true inier|)relaiion of tlie viream or vision. For it will not be denicJ iluit we have had unvvm^tbv membfrs anioiig us, wbo vvoul.J not come out ir.'in among the ra- vcning icolves. Moreover on lluit very night lhe Vi-olfdid in the guise of sheep's clothing. But he '.vas detected, and lh.e Bhick Balls slovv him; airl he is- in ef¬ fccl nailed lo tiie accufseo cross. He is marked and jiut wiiere he .vill not enter our fold lo devour the lamb vviihout spot. But he is uol dead, and i!ie ravening wolvts are still in great povver, and then- vengeance is upon our distressed broth¬ er. But Worthy Patriarch iill ihis trou- lile has arisen from Ihe sec-ets of our Division being divulged. Why have ibey singled oul onr d';Stresred broiher for veiigeauce ? The 4th Sec. of arti¬ cle 8 01 our Bye La.vs requires ihatthe vote of a brother agiiinst a candidate for iiiembershij) should be kept secrcl upon pain of expulsion, which is the highest penally knivvn to luu' laws. Yel the vote of our disiressed brother has been divulged lo lhe ravening wolves, I think, lefore proceeding lo thc reliei' of our laother, wo should endeavour~t<i strike ill the root of lhe evil. I iherelore move ilie following resoluiion.

ed to state the question   vvhich   wns be

Brother Equinox—Necessitati I Why vou put nccpsMitas  iu   tbe dative   case.
fore the Division for discussion, nnd en¬ quired if there vvere any remarks to be made upon it:—Whereupon brother yneezlefanier having obiained the floor, said—
iitiible. It is true, he said, so far '*'''"'^'"^"^ '""! as tile odour of a ihing was concerned, he had seen things of ilifierent colours that smell quite diflerently ; but he did no! regard lhe odour as being inhereni in tiie Colour or aify piirt of llie colour, for sometimes ihings ofthe same colour smelt dili'ereiilly, and therefore he had not been in the habit of regarding the ii'iviinction of colours.—That it hnd been decided ever sirice lite days (if Shak¬ speare thiit "a rose by any oiher name would smell as svveel," and as he thought thero w-as more in a name ib.an tliere was ill coioiir. he vvould s.iy, a fortiori. that a B.iii of rejection by any other color than black, v.-ould be just as un- palaiabie. lie said he wauld like to hear brother PeckersnifTs vievvs.
Brother Peckei'sniff.—I am somewhiit surprised, Worthy Patriarch, that my motion should be so little underbtood. I tbink as litlle of colour myself as any oflhe resl ofmy brotliers ; I care as lit¬ tle whelher a thing be black, while or blue, and I cant say ih.it 1 care a groat deal ifour Bails of rejection, whelher blue or black, are found to bo unpalata¬ ble. My f)bject in making the motion was 10 enable brolhers to conceal their voting. The contrast beivveen a pale blue ball and a while one is niuch less than betvveen a lilack and white ball. It is difficult to vole vviih a bhick ball with¬ out :ul the brothers seeing how you vote; wfiere.is if blue balis were used there vvould ba a chance by a lilile dexterity to conceal hovv you vote. And I have had experience enough to know thai if all lhe brolhers know that you have vo¬ ted wilh a Black Ball, (alas! poor human nature !) ihero is dangej of its being di- vnlsjed.
Broiher Equinox.—Worthy Patriarch, Ihave been lisiening vvilh profound at¬ tention to the discussion on this motion, and I must say ihat the brother vviio last .spoke has expreissed my. sentiments ibnuighout much better ihan 1 could have uttered them myself. I concur vvith him into-to, so far as the sentiment is concerned ; and liave been anxious to come to his assistance in carrying through his moiion.    1 am deeply inter-
