The nrartyrsd BAND
tggsed reading the account of the Massacre of Fts

ggested on reading the account of the Massacre of FIJI
americans. by FINLEYzJoHNsoS.
They stood unawed-that martyr band
And scorn'd the hate and power
Of those who came with helish glee
To mock their dying hour.
They glored in their destiny;
In that dark hour of pain
They felt that freedoms blood
Should not be shed in vain.
No groan for life assembled up ~,
They died should die,
Believing that their country would
Their vacant posts supply;
They look'd with scorn upon the foe
Who how'd about them there,
And died as men, who hearts possessed,
Superior to despair.
Remember, said gallant youth,
For all the blood you shed
Our country shall wreak vengeance on
Your doom'd devoted head,
And freemen shall with accord
Unto our standard fee. .-
Shouting Sc vengeance''-" freemen on,''
Fair &c Cuba shall be free
That martyr'd youth, in deaths last hour,
Spoke with prophetic tongue,
And every city in the land
With deep excitement rung,
And now freemen marshaling strong,
In spite of meddling powers,
And time shall tell what we feel,
That Sc Cuba shall be ours.

LONDON AT M1DNIGHT.-Mr. Greedy in one of his
recent letters to the N. Y. Tribune, says:
Walking home from a soiree at the West End,
through Regent street, Haymarket, and the Strand,
once at midnight, struck though accustomed to
all manner of late hours in New York, with the rela-
tive activity and wideawake aspect of London at that
hour. 1t seemed the high 'change of revelry and
pleasure seeking The taverns, the Clubs and drink
ing shops, betrayed no symptoms of drowsness; the
theatres were hardy beginning TO emit their aded null
tt"@d1es the cabs and private carriages were more
plentiful than by day, and were brisky wheeling
hundreds from party to party: even the omnlbuses
ratified down the wide streets freshly and almost as
numerously as at midday.
The policemen were alert on nearly every corner
sharpers and suspicious characters stepped nimbly
about the Streets in quest of prey, and nnumera-
BILE wrecks of womanhood God pity them shed deep
dark ness the shaded and dusky lanes and BY
ways whence they momently emerged to salute the
passerby. Beneath the shelter of night, misery stole
forth from its squad lair, longer awed by the po-
ce to beseech the compassion of the stranger, and
pour its tale of and suffering into the rarely willing
Serene and svery in the clear night air the
nearly full moon over Southwark, shedding soft and
mellow light pillar and edfce, column and spre,
and enduing the placid bosom of the Thames with a
tranquil and spiritual beauty. Such one glimpse
of London at midnight have not seen it so impress
sive by day.
PRIVATE CHARACTER OF A LocoMoTIvE-People
who may see locomotive tearing up and down the
land at rate of forty miles hour-making the very
earth trembe beneath its gart tread and the heavens
themselves reveTherae with its fearful catter-scarng
nature with its unearthy din, and frightening all
ton from its propriety, amost-peope who only see
it in its activity have idea what eminently social
virtues it is endowed with. This is their public char
acter Their private is another affair. Now and
then one OF these huge monsters in whose iron bow
els slumber than thousand giant power, comes
up and stands under our window and smokes away as
gently as the most exemplary cooking stove its huge
steam pipes singing strain soft and dulcet the
most amable ea-kette, and its lungs of steel breath
ing as sweetly infant in its slumbers But the
demon of power is there Let any one but pinch its
ears and no venerable spinster cat, will spit more
fercely let him grippe those iron hands, and the pipes
which were tuned soft strain, send forth vel
as if heaven and earth were coming together and
those lungs which first breathed quietly. cough like
