MASONIC BANQUETS.

A masonic banquet took place in London recently, which docs indeed, in the language of a penny-a-liner, " deserve notice." The members of the Great City Lodge meet at the Cannon street Hotel, and which to the disgust, we should imagine, of the chief of that establishment, dined sumptuously off bread and cheese and ale. When the officers and visitors had partaken of the repast, the \V.M\ explained to the visitors that the lodge had determined to give up banquets (which cost between £lO and £6O), and to give the amount thus saved to the charity fund of the lodge. The banqueters do not seem to have suffered so frightfully from indigestion as one might be supposed, for most of the visitors were able to speak and express themselves highly gratified with the novel experiment, and trie members were so delighted with their unexpected success that they at onco resolved to give up four out of six monthly banquets, and so increaso the charity fund to the extent of about £2OO. . « "Young man, do you believe in a future state ?"—" Iu course I duz J and what's more, I intend to enter it as spou as Betsy gets her things ready."
