Br OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Slowly the mist DER the meadow was creeping
Bright on the dewy buds glistened the sun,
When from his couch, while his children wer
| sleeping,
Rose the bold rebel and shoulde.ed his gun.
| Waving her golden veil
| Over the silent dale,
Blithe looked the morning on cottage aud sPire
| flushed was his painting sigh,
While from his noble eve
Flashed the last sparks Of Liberty's fire.
On the smooth green where the fire. sh leaf i.
| springing,
Calmly the first born of glory have met;
Hark! the DEATH volIey around them is ringing
Look! with their life-blood the young grass is
Faint is the feeble breath, [wet
Murmuring low in death,
"Tell TO our sons how their fathers havo died ;"
Nerveless, the iron hand
Raised for its native land
Lies BY the weapon that CLEANS at his side.
Over the hiII-sdes the wild knell is rolling,
From their far ham.ts the yeomanry come.
As thro the storm clouds the thunder burst rolling
Circles the heat of the mastering drum.
Fast on the soldiers path
Darken the waves of wrath,
Long nave they gathefed ana iouu sna'i they iali,
Red glares the muskets flash,
Sharp rings the rifles crash..
Blazing and charging from thicket and wall.
Gaily the plume of the horseman was dancing,
Never TO shadow his cold brow again;
Proudly at morning the war-steed was prancins,
Reeking and painting he now drops the rein;
Pale is the lip of scorn.
VoiceIess the trumpet horn,
Torn is the silken.fringed red cross on high;
Many belted breast
Low on the turf shall rest,
Ere the dark hunters the herd have passed by.
Snow girdled crags where the hoarse wind is
raving, wall,
Rocks where the weary foods murmur and
Wilds where the fern by the furrow is waving,
Reeed with the echoes that rode on the gale;
Far os the tempest thrills
Over the darkened hills,
Far rs the sunshine streams over the plain,
Reused by the tyrant's band,
Work all the mighty land.
Girded for battle from mountain to main.
Green be the graves where her martyrs are lying
Shroudless and tombless they sunk TO their rest,
While DER their ashes the starry folds flying
Wrap the proud eagle they reused from his nest.
Borne on her northern pine,
Long DER the foaming brine
Spread her broad banner to storm and to sum-
Heaven keep her ever free,
Wide as DER land and sea
Floats the fair emblem her heroes have won.

willing that Daniel Lambert.w who died some
years ago, weighing 7a9 pounds, shall en-
JOY the reputation Of being a greater prodI-

years before his death 675 pounds,

doubt that at the time Of his death he was
even heavier than Lambert.

our adult population can not sing, and,
