CARMEN BELLICOSUM

FROM THE KN1cKERBocKER.
In their ragged regimentals,
Stood the old Continentals,
Yielding not,
When the grenadiers were ~lunging,
And like hail fell the plunging
Cannon shot;
When the files
Of the isles,
Fromthe smoky night e~ncampment, bore the ban.
ner of the rampant
And drummer, drummer, drummer, rolled the roll
of the drummer
Through the morn!
Then with eyes to the front all,
And with guns horizontal,
Stood our s%ires;
And the balls whistled deadly,
And in streams flashing redly
Blazed the fires;
As the roar
On the shore,
Swept the strong battled -hreakers DER the greer
sodded acres
OF the plain,
And louder, louder, louder, cracked the black
gunpowder,
Cracking amain;
Now like smiths at their FORCES,
Worked the red St. Georges
Cannoniers,
And the 'viliainous satpetre,'
Rang a fierce discordant metre
Around their ears;
As the swift
Storm-drift,
With hot sweeping anger, CANT the ~horse-guard'.
clangour
On our TANKS;
Then higher, higher, higher, burned the old fash
toned fire
Through the ranks!
Then the old-fashioned Colonel
Galloped through the white internal
Powder cloud;
And his broad sword was swinging,
And his brazen throat was ringing
Trumpet loud;
Then the blue
Bullets few,
And the trooper jackets redden at the touch Of
the leaden
Rifle breath,
And rounder, rounder, rounder, reared the iror

Hurting death.

ALI IS WELL,

While over life's wide darkling plain
Unheeding as we roam,
Through many a path Ofjoy and pain,
God leads His children home;
And though sometimes in prospect viewed,
The winding way seems dark and rude;
All! who the backward scene hath scanned,
But blessed his Fathers guiding hand.

PETERS PENcE.-Isi is generally known
that collections were taken up all over the
country-at lie asst, wherever Catholics are to
be found-last Sunday week, for the relief
of the Pope and the subsistence of such
portions of the Church as may be entitled
to receive pecuniary support at his hands.
The contributions at Louisville, in the sew
eral churches, amounted to SIT; at Leba-
non to $57; and at Bardstown to $50. In
New York, at st. Peters Church, Barclay
street, $3.50 was contributed; St. James
Church, over 5000; and we see it estima-
ted that the entire sum collected at the diff
.ferent churches in New York, Jersey City,
Brooklyn and Williamsburg, would be about
$4,000. The collection in Boston was small.

TEUTe-uD al me OUUH ~ eHNeSSee.-
We learn from the Nashville Gazatte that
there was quite an excitement for a short
time, on Saturday, at the Bank of the State
of Tennessee, caused by a person named
John Owens, from Kentucky. Mr.. Owens
called at the Bank and inquired of the pay
ing teller if he could exchange sixteen hun
dred dollars Kentucky funds, for the same
amount of Tennessee bills. Mr.. Read, the
teller, informed him that they had no Ken
lucky funds, but if the amount in silver
would be an accommodation he should have
it. Owens assented and counted out his
bills-and while the teller was counting the
silver, Owens said he would step out for a
few moments. Shortly after he returned,
and informed the teller that he had found q
place where Kentucky bills could be had,
at the same time demanding the return OF
his Tennessee funds. TO this the teller OBJ.
jected. Owens became excited, and, draw.
ing a knife, he leaped over the counter, and
placed its point at the breast of the teller,
at the same time picking up the pile OF
Tennessee money left at the bank by him.
Mr.. Owens was brought before Justice
Raworth. On hearing the testimony of sev-
eral persons who witnessed the affair, the
Justice bound Nh. Owens over in the sum
of $3.50 for the assault, and $1,000 for the
IfelOnious taking of $1,000 claimed by the
officers of the Bank as their money.

the balconies and windows filled with
ladies. Throughout the distinguish
ed visitor was greeted with unOsten-
tatious demonstrations of respect, the
truly republican character of which

in port was decked with colOrs, and
the national flag waved from the pub

brief, the warmest friend Of the ex-

a single omission was brought ~ our
attention. This was at the Hall OF
