plishing anything. He was afterwards editor of the Go- shen "Times," and was postmaster of that city. He was a model man, a smooth and polished writer, and a poet of de- cided merit.
As showing his ability in this department of literature, the following Masonic poems are appended:
DEATH IN THE LODGE-ROOM.
A surgeon during the Rebellion related this incident as occurring at Fredericksburg, Va .: "I was professionally engaged in the Baptist Church this morning; it is almost packed with wounded. The tank intended for immersion is used as a bathing tub, and the operations are performed in the small pastor's study, back of the pulpit. The Free- masons' hall is also filled with the wounded, and there re- mains much of the paraphernalia of the lodge in which Washington received his degrees. I found one poor fel- low who was a member of the Fraternity, and at his request I had his bed removed to the platform once occupied by the Master's chair, where he lay and gazed upward at the mys- tic letter 'G' as if secure under its protection." On this touching incident, so suggestive of the faith and hope of the Mason, Brother Ellis composed the following para- phrase:
The patriarchal lodge was filled With weary, wounded men; And noisy tongues were sudden stilled, For life was ebbing then. And eyes that once flashed manly fire With film of death were glazed, And others with a maniac glare- How witlessly they gazed!
Then one brave soldier-thus they tell- Upstarted from his bed, As if awakening from a spell- "And do I dream?" he said; "This altar-how it speaks of home, The gavel and the square,- And yon mysterious letter hung Suspended in the air."
457
HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY.
The soldier closed his eyes again, With sparkling tears suffused, And thought of brethren far away, And to himself he mused: "Here, where our Washington once trod Beneath the Omnicient Eye, Where all things upward point to God- How blest it were to die!"
"Ho! Comrades!" said the dying man, "Come, lend a helping hand, My sands of life are almost ran- I seek the better land; Place me beneath that vaulting arch, Whose dim outlines I see, And let me breathe my spirit out Beneath the letter .G.' "
They laid him down-no word he spake- No murmur on his breath, But calmly waited he the touch Of the grim monster-Death; That mystical initial oft His dark eye wandered o'er,
And when the evening sun went down The soldier was no more.
They hollowed him an humble grave Under a spreading tree, And carved him no memorial, save That mystic letter "G."" And a finger pointing steadily Up to the Throne of Love, For they deemed his spirit joyfully Soared to the lodge above.
Not long before his death Brother Ellis wrote the follow- ing poem, which he read before his lodge at Goshen a few nights previous to June 6, 1873. This was probably his last literary work. It is entitled:
THE MASON'S HOME-A CLOSING SONG.
How blest is the scene where our labors we ply, Unseen by all else save the All-Seeing Eye; But the gavel has sounded, the hour has come, Our labor is over, we haste to our home. Home, home, sweet, sweet home. There's no place like home, there's no place like home.
458
HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY.
We met on the level, as brothers should meet, With hand grasping hand, in communion most sweet, No cares and no sorrows e'er darken our hall, For the sunshine of Love ever beams on us all.
We wrought by the plumb and we part on the square, Ever taught with a brother his sorrows to share, . And where'er through the world 'tis our fortune to roam, To cherish and love the sweet light of our home.
While hand joins with hand, as we utter farewell, What varied emotions in each bosom swell! And seek thro' the wide world wherever we roam, No spot seems so dear as the true Mason's home.
And oh! when these hours of rapture are past, As our eyes upon earth take a sad look, the last. While the dear ones around us are weeping with love, May we each find a home in the Grand Lodge above! Home, home, sweet, sweet home, There's no place like home, there's no place like home. GOSHEN, INDIANA, June, 1873.
CLOSING-FAREWELL.
A S to the matter contained in this work, there is no doubt that many errors of omission and commission will be discovered by the critical reader. Personal recollections have proven to be very imperfect, and seldom two persons could be found whose statements in regard to mooted ques- tions could be made to harmonize. Many who have read the preceding sketches, and knew all about the facts at- tempted to be recited, have undoubtedly observed these errors, and will, probably, think it strange that the writer did not know them also. Such persons were the very ones it was desirable to interview, but circumstances did not permit.
In the preparation of this work it has been the purpose of the writer to state facts, embellished with such rhetorical flourishes at his command as the various subjects seemed to require, and in but few instances has he ventured an opin- ion of his own as to the propriety or impropriety concern- ing any subject about which he has written. He has aimed to occupy the position of a witness, sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, testifying be- fore those who were to sit in judgment upon the testimony submitted.
Thanks and credit are due to a host of kind brethren, and others not members of "The Household of the Faithi- ful," who cheerfully assisted in various ways in imparting information asked for. Among those to whom the writer is especially indebted for valuable assistance are the fol- lowing:
Martin H. Rice, editor of the "Masonic Advocate."
William H. Smythe, Grand Secretary.

In the preparation of this work the following publica- tions have been liberally drawn upon for needed informa- tion, and where due credit has not been given in the body of the work, it is desired that it be considered as given in full here:

Hoping and trusting that that charity which covers a multitude of shortcomings will be extended in all its full- ness, and invoking the indulgence of the reader in behalf of whatever may be found amiss, in the language of Brother Robert Burns, I bid you all:
Adieu, a heart-warm, fond adieu,
Dear brothers of the mystic tie: Ye favored, ye enlightened few, Companions of my social joy. Tho' I to foreign lands must hie, Pursuing fortune's slipp'ry ba',
With melting heart, and brimful eye,
I'll mind you still, tho' far awa'.

HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY.
Oft have I met your social band, And spent the cheerful, festive night; Oft honor'd with supreme command, Presided o'er the suns of light. And by that hieroglyphic bright, Which none but Craftsmen ever saw, Strong memory in my heart shall write Those happy scenes tho' far awa'.
May freedom, harmony and love Unite you in the grand design, Beneath the Omnicient Eye above, The glorious Architect Divine, That you may keep the unerring line, Still rising by the plummet's law, Till order bright completely shine, Shall be my prayer tho' far awa'.
And you, farewell, whose merits claim Justly the highest badge to wear; Heaven bless your honor'd, noble name To Masonry and Scotia dear. A last request permit me here: When yearly ye assemble a', One round, I ask it with a tear, To him, the Bard, that's far awa'.
