great Kapuic-n had net foiaiilean him at th* orit

what is now aeen. lie knew the Monroe Doc

America. And ha knew the people of the Uni

And his chance waa wisely watched for, while
the Government of the United Statee was an
gaged in ibe great war of Secession. Then he
landed, with hie troops, in Mexico to establish
Maximilian's empire under French protection.—
And then lie should have taken care to make

Franch Zouaves would have dona more to sus

Emperor raw clear through it But hit genius
failed at the cri*i*. The Southern Confederacy
waa crushed out of existence, and hit only well

I The committee te whom was assigned the dp
tjf of expressing th* sentiment* of this Lodge,
restive to the deatjtof Brother G G. Reaps,
ask leave to submit the following reaoiutioee ;
Revived, That in common with all the com
munity io which he so long lived bei red and
respected a* a Christian and a neighbor, this
Lodge deplores th* foe* of Brother Norman; and
t* us, »* Mason*, is added the aeeumufeted grief,
that in him haa departed one of the brightest and
ptireet "f our fraternity, one whose been we*
deeply imbued with that heavenly charity which
ia the bond of one order - rate who honored hia
masonic profession by hi* daily walk sad co
ver nation—sod above obligation was sever in
tbe least particle, violated, at all the brethren,
especially these who hare known bun for many
yea a, can testify.
Revolved, That one of the most shining link*
of the chain that biads ua together aa a brother
hood, haa ham severed—the chain » broken—
yet, with oerSdence do me assure ourselves that
he who has departed. Is now in the full meaning
of the term, a Free and Accepted Mason; free
from the toils, tbe troubles and the eares of life;
accepted by the Grand Master of th* Universe
■•to that eternal lodge shore, where, if »s wor
tliily act our part here we may again unit* with
him ill the bends nf brotherly love. Bed lor us
pi follow the example ha gave u* here, and to «e#
that tiie members of the Lodge over which he
presided so long, and to worthily, may deserve
again to meet him in that ten,pie not mule with
hands, where sin and sorrow shall be known no
more, and where the chain of fraternal love, oil
it* link* lost her* en enrih reunited, brighter,
stronger, purer, inseparable, shall bind together
ail true masons in one grand brotherhood forev
er and forever.
Revolved, That a copy of these resolution* b*
forwarded by the Secretary, to the family of,air
deceased broths aa a mark of our sympathy and
coodolence with their irreparable iota.
