THE SILENT BELL.
BY SARAH J. c. WHiTTT.ESEI

Five years ago, its tiny, s;lrery tongue
Was para yZed WITH ps!H %I:c |0lceless Wo
Dumb with despair. through The long night 1t
hung
Long night that closed a-ound-fve years ago!
Old friends went olt, nc. carried all the light
That summed The olden ways Of green ana

And aliens csna, snd brought the grictul night,
Five yesto ago-of blood ana graves ana

nc moro its silvery ripples rode the blue
ETHEREAL sea, at fresh and fair sunrise,
e. more its vcsper driftings dropped with dew,
And rose with evening incense t" the skies.
Palsied with pain, and drowning in deep tears,
Silent it hung through all the dreary days;
It could not speak to aught but loving ears,
And cold-eyed aliens walked the olden ways
God heard the cry ofsuferng earth, and smiled,
And dropped blessing from His holy h@nd,
Through the deep night down to his feeling
child
And Andrew Johnson sent it O cr the land!
See the blue line between the parting cloud,
Rolling its black folds from the violet hue!
And swcetly stealing from its strifetul shroud,
The star of PEACE shines down on sparkling
dew!
Harl the May morn is full Of silvery sounds:
:SsThat pulse along the blue and bounding air;
The night is over with its foreign trowns,
And native smiles dethronc the reign OF care !!
The SILENT BELLl-thc SILENT BELL! it chimes;
Hail the blest mornn to mild and rosy May,
In tones that bring again the oldcn times,
After the long December, passed away!
