BELLs.-Wheatey, in his g Illustration of the
Common Prayer says of the passing bell: " Our
church, in imitation of the saints in former ages,
calls on the minister and others to assist their bro
Their in his last extremity. In order to this, when
any one is passing out of life, this bell should be
tolIed but now the passing bell is not struck till
the soul has left the body. The passing bell was
ancentlv rung for two purposes: one, TO bespeak
the prayers of all good Christians for soul just de-
parting; and the other to drive away the evil spir
It's that stood at The beds foot, and about the house,
ready to seize their prey, or at least to modest and
terriy the soul in its PASSAGE but by the ringing of
that bell they were kept aloof; and the soul, like
hunted hare, gained the start, or had what is by
sportsmen called lar. In order to do this effectu
ally, high price was demanded for the toll Of the
largest bell for, being louder, the demons must go
further off to be out of its reach" The 8 Gold
en- Legend, by Wynkyn de Worle, also assures
US that evil spirits have dislike to bells . 1t IS
said, the evil spirytes that ben in the regyion OF
thayre, doubte much, when they here the bellies
rongen: and this is the cause why the bellies ben
rongen whan it thondreth, and whan CRETE tenn
peste and outrages Of wether happen, to the ende
that the feinds and wicked spirytes should be
abashed and fee, and cease ofthe mOvynge oftem-
Deste.

4 MEMORY By MRS JOSEPH Z. NAL.
At the door you will not enter.

Hope withdTaWS her peradventure,
Death is near me and not you.
MISS BARRET
Slowly fades the misty twilight,
Der the thrOHged and noisy town
Clouds are gathered in the distance,
And the clouds above it tT0Wn,
Yet before her leaves swayed lightly
In the hushed and drOwsy air,
; nd the trees TecOthed IN Verdure,
Had no murmur OF despair.
She had gazed into the darkness,
Seeking through the busy crowd,
For form once pressing onward
With a step as firm and proud.
For a face upturned in gladneSs
To the window where she leaned
Smiling with an eager welcome,
Though a sep but interviewed.
Even now her cheek is flushing
With the rapture OF that gaze;
And her heart as then beats wildly
Oh the memory of those days!
As a dear dear dream it COmeth,
Swiftly as a dream If flies
No one spnHgeth now toward her,
Smiling with such earnest eyes
No one hastens home at twilight,
Watching for her hand to wave;
For the form she seeks so vainly,
Sleeps within the silent grave;
And the eyes have smiled IN dying,
Blessing her with latest lite,
Smiled III closing 0 er the diScOrd,
OF the last wild, earthly strife.

knapsack on his back, being weary, sat down. and
fell to eating some victuals. Upon a sudden he
was surprised by two or three wolves, who were
coming towards him. He threw them scraps OF
bread and cheese as long as he had any; when
the wolves had come nearer to him, lie commenced
playing a pair of bagppes, which he had with
him. and as soon as he began TO play, away ran the
wolves, as if they had been scared out of their

Americans agog 10 see the sport, and great have
been the efforts and the sacrifices made raise the
wind for a trip. One sets off determined to walk
over all Europe on foot, and write letters for the
newspapers TO pay expenses another borroWs
small amounts from every superanuated aunt and
uncle in the family, with few gold pieces from
grandfather, and thus makes up a tolerably heavy
purse. One sells his library and pictures, another
a reversi0n of a small estate. Go they must. The

excitement every thing in confusion, stores closed,
fighting in the streets, and great danger In every
movement Our young Americans could not ex-

they took to seeing sights in which the city abounds.
The most sublime sight was Mount Vesuvius on
dark night, the heavens Illuminated with a red
glare, and the lava streaming down the sides IN
LIQUID currents of flame. Our travellers state that
the French had three 100 gun ships anchored near
the city, ready to open upon the Notifications when
necessary, besides five IFS, three frgates, and no
end to war steamers and small vessels under the
command of Admiral Baudin. BY the way, this is
a noble squadron, of great strength and power.
France is quietly crawling along with her navy,
until she is nearly upon an equality with England
deficient only in disciplined seamen and Tor want
of extensive commerce she always will be weak in
this very important feature. The English have in
the Bay Of Naples two fngates and a number OF
