their doom. Sneeringly, bitterly The erea1
London Times tells US that Parliament has

the people whe ther they will sell themselves
10 the people; and even,he stree, ball ads

for lords in deed, no, lords in name.'
There is a wonderful significancy in all

Stranger things have been seen lu France.
Not all the virtues of the Chorieuls or the

lapse of time with The dust Of weary con.
Hict bedraggled with their ashes, but sud-
denly, in day, in an hour, with a shock
and crash which shook the kingdom: So
terrible, so stunning was the fall that 10 this
day they have not recovered, and from the
year wherein the mobiles of England tricked
the people with bassless war with France,
that country has had no nobility. Military
chiefains have given old titles TO theft gen.

POETRY.
EN- rY-sIx.
by WIN. CULLEN BRYANT.

What heroes from the woodland sprung,
When through the first awakened land,
The thrilling cry OF freedom fung,
And to the work of warfare strung
The yeoman's Iron hand
Hills flung The cry 10 hills around,
And ocean-msrt replied 10 mart,
And streams whose springs were yet :nfoind
Pealed far away the startling sound
Into the forests heart.
Then marcied the brave from rocky steep,
From mountain river, swift and cold
The borders of the stormy deep,
TIE wales where gathered watefs sleep,
Sent up The strong and bold.
AS If the very earth again
Grew quick with Gods creating breath
And from the sods Of grove and glen,
Rose ranks of lion-hearted men
To battle TO the death.
The vile whose babe first smiled that day
The fair fond bride OF ester eve,
Aud aged sire and matron gray,
Saw the loved warriors haste away,
And deemed it sin TO grieve.
Already had the strife begun;
Already blood on Concord's plain
Along the sdringing grass had run,
And blood had flowed at Lexington,
Like brooks of April rain.
That death-stain on the vemal swad
Hallowed 10 freedom all the shore;
In fragments fell the yoke abhoued--
The foois,ep of foreign lord
Profaned the soil no more.

that this officer has previously been twice
dismissed the service once dismissed the

once before Court of Inquiry. He was
first dismissed by General Jackson in 1890,
for fighting duel with one Miller, OF Phila'

During the Mexican war, il will be remem-

dismissed from Pery's squadron for disobe-

Mason, then Secretary Of the Navy, gave
him the command Of the Taney in the Med.
