Irish Spectacles.

The late General B., going post to Ireland
on some extraordinary business that would
not permit the incumbrance of a retinue,
stopped to dine at the inn on the Chester
road, and ordered pair of ducks, which he
saw ready at the kitchen fire, up to his table.
The generals desire had been Just complied
with. when some country bucks came in,
hungry as hawks after the mornings sport
They eagerly inquired what could be had to
eat Like a true Boniface, the landlord
enumerated what he had not apologized for
what he had. and among other things men
toned the ducks, which had been only mo-
ment before served up for the Irish gentle
mans dinner. "Irish iontlemon !" gibingly
exclaimed one of the group; "Ill lay fifty to
five that the fellow don't know B from a
bulls foot Here, waiter. take my watch up
to the iontemon, presenting my compliments,
and request him to tell me what O'Clock it
ISL
The general heard the message, took the
watch. and with great temper returned his
respects, with the assurance that as soon as
he had dined he would endeavor to satisfy
their inquiry The bucks chuckled at the
embarrassment which they imagined the
ignorant Irishman was led into, and sat down
to regale themselves on whatever they could
get but their jollity was presently disturbed
by the entrance of a military figure, who,
with that politeness which is the peculiar
characteristic of the army, advanced toward
the table where they were seated, and pre-
sented the watch Gentlemen" said be,
" | wish to know its owner, as, from mes
sage sent to me little while ago. | presume
he is short sigted, and have brought him a
pair of spectacles," pointing to pair Of
pistols under his arm, to remedy the de-
feet" The joke was gone-the bucks were
silent The general deliberately put the
watch in his fob, with declaration that
secured it to him forever. Gentlemen, am
sorry for ntruding, as find the owner is not
among you; whenever he claims it he shall
have it, but not without a trial of the spec

The Great Bell Roland.
BY THEODORE TILToN.

Toll. Roland, toll?
In old Saint Bavon's tower,
At midnight hour
The great bell Roland spoke,
And all who slept in Ghent awoke.
What meant the thunder stroke p!
Why trembled wife and maid?
Why caught each man his blade?
Why echoed every street
With tramp of thronging feet
All flying to the city wall?
1t was the warning call
That Freedom stood in peril Of a foe?
And timid hearts grew bold
Whenever Roland tolled,
And every hand a sword could hold,
And every arm could bend bow
So acted men
Like patriots then
Three hundred years ago.
Toll ! Roland, toll !!
Bell never yet was hung
Between whose lips there swung
So grand tongue
If men be patriots still,
Al thy first sound
True hearts will bound,
Great souls will thrill!
Then toll and let thy test
Try each mans breast
Till true and false shall stand contest +!
Toll! Roland, toll
Not now in old Saint Bavon's tower
Not now at midnight's hour
Not now from river S"heldt to Zuyder Zee,
But here-this side the sea
Toll here in broad. bright day
For not by night awaits
A foe without the gates,
But perured friends within betray
And do the deed at noon
Toll! Roland, toll
Thy sound is not too soon!
To arms Ring out the leaders call !
Toll Roland, TOLL
Till cottager from cottage wall
Snatch pouch, and powder-horn and gun
The heritage of sire to son
Ere half of Freedoms work was done.
Toll! Roland, toll
Till swords from scabbards leap
Toll ! Roland toll
What tears can widows weep
Less bitter than when brave men fall
Toll +! Roland, toll
In shadowed hut and hall
Shall lie the soldiers pail
And hearts shall break while graves are filled
Amen So God hath wiled!
And may his grace annoint US all
Toll Roland, toll.
The dragon of thy tower
Stands sentry to this hour
And Freedom is safe in Ghent
And merrier bells now ring,
And in the lands content
Men shout, " God save the King y
Until the skies are rent.
So let it be.
A kingly king is he
Who keeps his people free
TOLL Roland, toll!
Ring out across the sea
No longer They, but We
Have now such need of thee!
Toll Roland, toll !
Never let thy throat
Keep dumb its warning note
Till Freedoms perils be out-braved
Toll Roland, toll !
Till Freedoms flag wherever waved,
Shall shadow not man enslaved
Toll! Roland. toll
From Northern lake to Southern strand !
Till friend and foe, at thy command,
Shall clasp again each others hand,
And shout, one-voiced, i" God save the land y
And love the land that God hath saved.

Rum AND RELIGIoN.-Byron asserts that
nothing SO soothes the soul as ''rum and
true religion" This doctrine has been
adopted as the creed of the pious Bostonians-
A vessel the Thos. Pope) cleared from
that sanctifed port, a few days ago for the
benighted regions of Africa, freighted with
seven missionaries and twenty-nine thousand
gallons of New England rum. The proper
tions OF Falstaff4s bread and sack were not
more in favor of the bottle than the respec.
tive quantities of the bread of life and the
alcoholic decoction transported to Africa by
the Boston disseminators Of gospel truth and
rotgut Whether the whining can't OF the
missionaries or the liquid lightning OF the
demijohn is most calculated to degrade s the me
poor African may well be considered l., an
omen question. England Christianizes Chi

infamous opium, traffic to be carried on,

origin OF THE SISTERS OF CHARITY.-We
CLIP the following from the correspondence
OF the Bedford Pa Gazette: About the
year 1926, IN a town Of France, called
Chantllion, there existed an humble, rural
pastor. 1t happened that during his minis
try, a serious case of distress came under
his notice. The good man recommended
from the pulpit, to the charity of his congre-
cation, poor family in the neighborhood :
At the conclusion Of divine service, moved
by his appeal, numbers went forth to assist
the distressed ones. Some brought bread,
others meat, others, again, vegetables
After yespers, or evening service, the pastor
himself proceeded to the home of poverty
and, on his way, met crowd of his parish
toner's returning from the scene of misery
hen he arrived at the abode of distress.
" Behold, said he, san abundant supply of
everything for this poor family. But there
is no order or Judgment displayed in all
this protuslon OF charity. The most of these
provisions will spoil, and the poor people.
the object Of this benevolence, will be as
badly off as ever" The happy thought then
occurred to him to form charitable society,
whose members should be specially trained
to manage the interests of the poor, in a
judicious, economical way. Pious ladies of
the first families in the land soon offered
their valuable services, and went to work,
according to rule drawn up by this man Of
God and approved of by the spiritual author
ities This was g the mustard seed,' the
germ of that charitable association of world
wide fame, styled the - Sisters of Charity,''
whose signal service, during our late civil
war, to our SICK wounded. dying soldiers in
hospitals and on battle fields, are so we'll
known all over the United State. The i'm
mortal founder of this benevolent institute
was the humble Vincent De Paul, Justly
deserving the title of Benefactor of the
Human Race"

NEwsPArER OFFIcEs.-A correspondent
writing from Mobile says:
While on my way to supper last evening, |
walked up street with an old gentleman who
is engaged in the type setting business, or in
foremanizlng others who are, and he told me
that he had just returned from visit to one
of the cemeteries of the city. 9 l went out
there great many years ago" said he, &c to
help bury printer. and | remember that
his grave was the tenth one there Now instead
of ten, find there at least ten thousand; and
when | looked abroad this evening over that
little wilderness fgreen hillocks, and thought
of the many tears and breaking hearts that
have been since / stood there at the burial of
that poor printer long years ago, it made me
feel badly; and | was tempted to say I
wouldn't swear any more"
I replied that the thought ,cas rather SOL
emn one. and if it should cause him to break
himself of the ugly habit of swearing, his
visit to the cemetery would turn, out to have
been the best Sunday evenings work he had
ever done.
. ''Ah," said he, you never acted as fore
man in newspaper office, or you would
know that a sight Of all the graveyards in
creation could not break me of that habit
Why, sir,n he continued. - if there had been

Tremendous living mass, as it might have
