The writer once approached a very eminent Catholic cleric on the subject, hoping that some Freemason who had been victimised by tricks played by hypnotists in Italy might have relieved his conscience to the priests; the writer had been given one clue in the following way. Two English Freemasons in the writer's presence had briefly mentioned mesmerism in Italian lodges.
Volumnia is persuaded that he must be a Freemason. Is sure he is at the head of a lodge, and wears short aprons, and is made a perfect idol of with candlesticks and trowels. These lively remarks the fair Dedlock delivers in her youthful manner, while making a purse. "He has not been here once," she adds, "since I came. I really had some thoughts of breaking my heart for the inconstant creature.
Buchanan was asked if he would receive a delegation of the Sons of Malta, representing twenty different States. Mr. Buchanan was a zealous Freemason having gone up into the Royal Arch degree and thinking that the institution resembled Freemasonry, he named an hour for the visit.
Tamino may be intended for the Emperor Joseph II., who, though not a Freemason himself as his father was, openly protected the brotherhood; and we may look upon Pamina as the representative of the Austrian people.
May the prospect of riches never induce a mason to do that which is repugnant to virtue. May unity and love be ever stamped upon the mason's mind. May no freemason desire plenty but with the benevolent view to relieve the indigent. May no freemason wish for more liberty than constitutes happiness, nor more freedom than tends to the public good.
"But pardon, Signorino," she insisted; "if they are not Catholics, they must be Freemasons or Jews. They cannot be Christians. Christian Catholic: it is the same. All Christians are Catholics." "Tu quoque!" he cried. "You regard the terms as interchangeable? I 've heard the identical sentiment similarly enunciated by another. Do I look like a Freemason?"
A bold stream, that would float a vessel of one hundred tons, cut Granby and Bank streets in two, and just halted on the west side of Church, where it was almost met by another furious stream from Newton's Creek. At Town Bridge a torrent raged that was not to be crossed until the tide fell. Freemason, between Brewer and Granby, presented a sea deep enough to float a vessel of one hundred tons.
At last, after I had given a character of the first lieutenant, which made him appear a sort of marine ogre, he asked how it was I got on with him: "O, very well," replied I; "but I'm a freemason, and so is he, and he's never severe with a brother mason." "But how did he know you were a mason?"
What's his RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION?" "OH I didn't understand you befo'. He's a Freemason." "No, no, you don't get my meaning yet. What I mean is, does he belong to any CHURCH?" "NOW you're talkin'! Couldn't make out what you was a-tryin' to git through yo' head no way. B'long to a CHURCH! Why, boss, he's ben the pizenest kind of Free-will Babtis' for forty year.
These three honest fellows testified with an oath that when I lost money at play, on which occasion all the faithful are wont to blaspheme, I was never heard to curse the devil. I was further accused of eating meat all the year round, of only going to hear fine masses, and I was vehemently suspected of being a Freemason.
