Death of Daniel O,ConmeI.


'Over the waters of the Mediterranean the death
bell is toling. In Genoa, in the Gothic aisle OF the
Cathedral of ST. Lorenzo, in the Treasury of which
the visitor is shown the dish which held the Paschal
Lamb al the Last Supper. and the vessel IN which
Joseph of Aramathea received the blood flowing from
the side of the Redeemer, there is coffin; on 1t IS
the name OF
"DANIEL o'CoNNELL."
whence came the old man TO die in the land OF
the myrtle and the vine away from those mountains
he had loved and where he said his grave should be
Whence came he so far from the green valleys. and
the streams that sounded to him like the voices OF
eternity, and the foam which breaks the cliffs,
and which the child might after and catch, and
the beages who remembering their old master,
might have looked in his face with kindness, before
his hand grew cold He had seen that would come
to pass; had seen the famine fall upon the land, he
knew that day of Gesoation was at hand, and that
his people doomed perish, and that it was not
for him to them.

The Rain that Caused Insanity.

The Rain that Caused Insanity.
Once one May morning fell shower
All whom it wetted turned insane;
One man alone, in lucky hour,
Gas then he thought,) escaped the rain.
1t CHANGED amid the springing wheat
He stood, the fair fields gazing over;
He saw black clouds above him meet
Ran fast, and got him unncr cover.
Next day the m adman scorned the wise;
One struck him fillips on the nose
One poked his fingers at his eyes
One gave him kicks, another blows
One laughing cried. SO That idiot see 20

A pool, made by the rain, he found
Bath'd and was cured of common sense,
The neighbors ran, few, rush'd around,
To greet him with due Difference
Some bowling low. some, fattering loud,
Some gifts with eager kindness handing,
He marched off with the joyous crowd,
Now matched with them in understanding

The funeral of James Batchelder the United States officer
who was killed the riot took place from Charleston,
Sunday afternoon There were but few persons present except
the immediate friends Of the family.
What a commentary is thai upon the false humanity
which is making such q stir in Boston! What
illustration of the treason to the Constitution, which,
either open, or concealed, is wide spread in that
city! Suppose the runaway bad been killed instead
of Batchelder-supposa any of the rioters had fallen,
what an QUERY of wrath and lamentatlon would have
been raised over men WHO fell in resisting the law of
the land The bells would have been tolIed, the
funeral procession would have been attended by
thousands and the rebels and disorganizers, whose
death the result of their own crime would have
been exalted into martyrs But when worthy cit
izens an officer of the law dies in the performance
of his duty to his country, death than which none
can be more honorable and glorious in the sight of
God and man. he is left TO be Shoveed into the earth
like dog, with no demonstrations of public respect,
and with scarce a human being to follow him TO his
grave, save the members of his own humble house.
hold This is a striking exhibition of the real hui
manty and patriotism prevailing IN the city OF Boston
Actions speak louder than words. Boston may redeem
herself by anhlatng the gang of assassns and rebels
wi 0 are now in arms against the law but if her
heart had been in the ght place, the officer Of the
United States, who fell in the discharge OF his duty
would have been followed to his grave by great
multitude of the ''solid men of Boston," who would
have awaited themselves of the opportunity to exhibit
their respect for the law their hatred of treason, and
their humane sympathies with deserving of
sympathy and who died in the discharge of his duty.
