We do not adopt the opinions therin set

there has been such full demonstrations

article in question would seem to indicate.
On the contrary, in the very states where

Scowled at the narrow way

!
The bravest Tuscans lay.
But meanwhile axe and lever
Have manfuIly been piled;
And now the bridge hangs lettering
Above the boiling tide.
Come back, come back, Horatiss"
Loud cried the Fathers all.
Back, Lartus! back, Herminiu'!
Back, ere the ruin talm
Back darted Spurius Lartius;
Terminus dared lack:
And, as they passed, beneath their feet
They felt the Iimoers crack.
But when they Turned their faces,
And on the farther shore
Saw brave Horalus stand alone,
They would have crossed once more.
But with a crash like thunler
Fell every loosened beam,
And, like dam, the mighty wreck
Lay right athwart the stream;
And a long shout of triumph
Rose from the walls Of Rome,
As to the highest turrettops
Was sp'ashed tie yellow foam.
And like Il horse unbroken
When first he feels the rein,
The furious river struggled hard,
And tossed his tawney name;
And burst the curb and bounded
Rejoicing to be free;
And whirling down in fierce career,
Batlement, and plank, pier,
Rushed hcudlong TO the sea-
Alone stood brave Horatius,
But constant still in mind;
Thrice thirty thousand foes before,
And the broad food behind.
" Down with him!" cried false Sextus,
With a smile on his pale face.
Now yield thee cried Lars Porsena,
"Now yield thee to our grace
Round turned he, as not deigning
Til Sc craven ranks to see,
Nau hit spakc he to Lars Parscna'
To Sextus naught spake he;
But he saw on Pa!atinns
The white porch of his home;
And he spake to the noble river
That rolls by the towers OF Rome
" Oh Tiber! father Ti5er!
To whom the Romans pray,
A Romans life, Romans arms,
Take thou in charge this day"
50 he spake. and speaking shcathed
The good sword by his SIDE;
And, with his harness on his back,
Plunged headlong in the tide.
No sound of 10Y or sorrow
Was heard from either bank;
But friends and foes in dumb surprise,
With parted lips and stralnIng eyes,
Stood gazing where he sank;
And when above the surgcs
They saw his crest appear,
All Rome sent forth raptnrou' cry,
And even the ranks of Tuscany
Could scarce forbear to cheer.

But all Etruria's noblest
Felt thetrhearts sink 10 see
On The earth the bloody cOrpses,
In the path the dauntleSs Three;
And, from the ghast'y entrance
Where those bold Rom ms stood,
All shrank, like boys who unaware,
Ranging the woods to start hare,
Come to the mouth of the dark lair
Where, growing low, fierre old bear
Lies amidst bones and blood.
Was none who could be foremost
To lead such dire attack;
But those behind cried Forward"
And those before cried " Back"
And backward now and forward
Waivers the deep array;
And on the tossing sea of steel,
To and fro the standards reel;
And the victorious trumpet-peal
Dies itlulIy away.
Yet one man for one moment
Slrode out before the crowd:
Well known was he to all the Three,
And they gave him greeting loud.
" Now welcome, welcome, Scxtus!
Now welcome 10 thy home!
Why dost thou stay, and turn awayH
Here lies the road TO Rome"
Thrice looked he at the city;
Thrice looked he at the dead;
And thrice came on in fury,
And thrice turned back in dread:
