DISCOVERED AT LAST.

The 'Tablet' has divulged to the world in its last week's issue, the real Masonic secret:—

"In Mgr. de Segur's work on Freemasonry, chap. 28, as practised on the Continent of Europe, the following will be found :—■' The moment is the initiation of the Mistress Mason in the secret grade of Perfect Mistress. Before all else, they require from them the terrible oath which binds them to the sect for their whole lives. " I swear," she says, " I promise to keep faithfully in my heart the secrets 'of male: and female Masonry. I oblige myself to this under pain of being cut to pieces by the sword of the Exterminating Angel." The G # * # M # * # immediately proclaims het Perfect Mistress, and addresses these words to her:—" My dear, now that you have been initiated into the symbolic arcanum of Masonry; now that the light of truth has shone upon your eyes, superstitions, that is to say, the faith in and the fear of God, which you perhaps had still preserved in the corner of your brain, are dissipated, an arduous but sublime task is henceforth imposed upon you. This is it t listen. The first,of your obligations will be to embitter the peop 7 e. against priests and Jcinqs. In the cafe, theatre, soirees, ever labor for this sacred'and holy intention. There remains but one secret for me to reveal to you, and we shall speak of .it in a low voice " And he announces that the final completion of the secret mission of Masonry "is the annihilation of all religious and monarchical authurity." Our readers will now be able to judge as to the truth of Dr. Bakewell's statement that there is nothing in Freemasonry opposed to Christianity.'"
