USELESS ZEAL.

Ansc!m, Bishopof Canterbury, was remarkable
for his zeal in the reformation oabuses in dress and
ornament. There was fashion in those days,
prevalent throughout Europe, both among men and
women, to give an enormous length to their shoes,
to draw the toe sharp point and affix to it the
figure of birds bill, orsome such ornament, whit
was turned upwards, and which was often sustained
by gold or silver chains tied to the knee. The &C
ciesiastics took exception at this ornament which
they said was an attempt to belle the scripture.
where it is affirmed that man can add cubit to
his stature, and they assembled synods who abso
lutely condemned it. But such are the strange con-
radictions in nature though the clergy at that
| lime could overthrow thrones, and had authori y
sufficient to send above million OF men lbeiI
errand TO the deserts of Asia they could never pre-
vail against those long pointed shoes: the con
trary, that caprice, contrary to all other modes
maintained its ground during several centuries, ant
the clergy had not at last desisted from their per
secu,on of it, might still have been the prevailing
fashion,

WILMINGTON, FRIDAY, 12 DECEMBER, 1928.
LIBERTY TO ATHENS.-ODE.
BY PERcIvAL.

BY PERCIVhLs
The flag of freedom floats once more
Around the lofty Parlhenon;
1t waves, as waved the palm of yore,
In days departed long and gone;
AS bright glory, from the skies,
Pours down its light around those towers.
And once again the Greeks arise,
AS in their country's noblcst hours;
Their swords are girt in virtues cause,
Minerals sacred hill is free
y may she keep her equal laws,
While man shall live, and time shall be.
The pride Of all her shrines went down;
The Goth, the Frank, the Turk, had reit
The laurel from her civic crown;
Her helm BY many sword was cleft:
She lay among her ruins low
Where grew the palm, the cypress rose,
And crushed and bruised by many blow,
She cower'd beneath her savage foes;
But now again she springs from earth,
Her loud, awakening trumpet speaks;
She rises in brighter birth,
And sounds redemption TO the Greeks.
1t is the classic jubilee
Their servile years have rolled away;
The clouds that lowered DER them Hee,
They hail the dawn of freedoms day;
From Heaven the golden light descends,
The times OF old are on the wing,
And glory there her pinion bends,
And beauty wakes fairer spring;
The hills of Greece, her rocks, her waves,
ATE all in trfumph's pomp arrayed;
A light that points their tyrants' graves,
Plays round each bold A ihenian's blade.
The Parthenon, the sacred shrine,
Where wisdom held her pure abode;
The hill of Mars, where light divine
Proclaimed the true, but unknown God;
Where justice held unyielding sway,
And trampled all corruption down,
And onward took her lofty way
To reach at truths unfading crown:
The rock, where liberty was full,
Where eloquence her torrents rolled,
And loud, against the despot's rule,
A knell the patriots fury toled:
The stage wherein the drama spake,
10 tones that seemed the words OF heaven,
Which made the wretch in terror shake,
AS by ayenging furies driven:
The groves and gardens, where the fire
Of wisdom, as fountain, burned,
And every eye, that dared aspire
To truth, has long in worship turned:
The halls and porticoes, where trod
The moral sage, severe, unstaned,
And where the intellectual god
In all the light of science reigned;
The schools, where rose in symmetry
The simple, but majestic pile,
Where marble threw its reughness by,
To glow, to frown, to weep, TO smile,
Where coors made the canvass live,
Where music rolled her food along,
And all the charms that art can give,
Were blent with beauty, love and song:
The port from whose cspacious womb
Her navies took their conquering road,
The herads of an awful doom
To all, who would not kiss her rod;
On these dawn of glory springs,
These trophies of her brightest fame;
Away the long chained city filings
Her weeds, her shackles, and her shame;
Again her ancient souls awake,
Harmodus bares anew his sword;
Her sons in wrath their letters break,
And freedom is their only lord.
