RING OUT THE FREEDOM BELL
BY FRANCES T.. W. HARPER.

The Nashville pfes and Times publishes the
following "poetry by a freedwoman," and says
For excellence Of ysnifcation, purity Of tone,
cerrectness Of imagery, and beauty of concep-
ton, they we'll compare with the cffnsions OF
two-thirds Of the poets Of America. They are
equal to anything ever written by W. Gilmore
simms and the fifth stanza would do no dis
homer TO any Of our authors.
Yes ring again the freedom boil.
And let its tones be loud and clear,
With glad hossnnahs let il swell,
Until they resch the freedman's ear.
Through pain that rings her life spnrt,
And spasms full Of deadly strife,
And throes tha shaketh nations heart,
The fainting land renews her life.
Where shreaks aud groans distract the air,
And sods grew red with crimson rain,
The ransomed ,lave shall kneel in prayer,
And bury deep his rusty chaia.
Where cheeks grew pale with sckening dread,
And brows were dark with cruel wrath,
Shall Ere, don's banner wide be spread,
And hope and peace attend her path.
White robcd and pure her feet shall move,
Ger riffs Of ruin deep and wide
Her hands shall span with lasting love,
The chasms rent by hate and pride,
Then ring aye, ring the freedom bell,
Proclaiming all the nations free,
Let earth with sweet Thanksgiving swell,
Aud heaven catch up the melody.

Bold Attempt to Create a Panic in New

On. Of the most villainous attefn pts 10 ere.
ate panic came to light on Thursday after.
noon. Three men In this city, whose names
are nov well known, who have hitherto stood
high in connection With merchantle affairs
in this city, engineered scheme through
that had for is aim, TIE depreciation Of Gov
ernmelt and bank stocks, and but for i.s
timely discovery. would have ruined large
class ,f men. Having sold shor. they de-
signed to depress stocks ,ha. they might buy
low, and, having answered their ends they
intended to Bull the market and make for
tune. They drew checks to the amount Of
five Millions and had them certified in the
different banks. Of course these FIVE mill.
ions having been certified could not be loan.
ed by the banks. Instead Of deposting these
oheets as cash they took them TO private
bankers and obtained Of them five uiilions
more, which checks we're also certified. Thus
they took ont in one hour ten millions from
the circulation One Of these managers call
ed in million that vas out on loan, and
others did the same. By the same rarties
messengers were seat to all the banks early
ou Thursday morning warning them against
loaning any money, they advised the calling
in Of all the loans and announced that there
was to be a terrible panic that would sweep
everything away. The banks lent themsei-
YES to the vile scheme, though they did it
ignorantly. These four men took out Of cir
culation in one day the tremendous sum of
tbirty-fve millions. The scheme was expo-
sed in the clearing house. One bank found
to its credit three millions when il expected
nothing. This led to an investigation, and
the bank found that the certified checks
drawn by certain parties had not been used.
An exposure at once took place and the pan
ic was averted. How much these men have
gained by this attempt TO create financial
disaster the future will tell.

Yankee School Marina in Georgia.

A letter in tie New York Times, from
Georgia thus speaks of the Yankee lady

a very pleasant diversion in travelling
through the South is to visit the Yankee
school marms, who abound plentifully. II

two curs hanging down from her light brown
hair, with moderate sized waterfall, you
may bet your existence she's from the State

skirts and fashionable outf. generally, are
from the State Of Massachusetts, With rare
exceptions they are all from New England,
and they are the bitteres', most uncompro-
missing radicals imaginable. The people OF
the South cannot appreciate the fact that re-
ally refined and intelligent young ladies can
be educated TO a belief that in leaving com,

these, and other obvious reasons, the Yankee

SINGING.-Singing is a great insti-
tuition" 1t oils the wheels of care. and
supplies the place of sunshine. A man
who sings has good heart under
his shirt front. Such man not only
works more willingly. but he also
works more constantly. A singing
cobbler will earn as much again mon.
ey as cordwa amer who gives away to
low spirits and indigestion. The who
attacks singing throws stone at the
head Of hilarily, and would, if he
could, rob June Of its roses and Au-
gust Of its meadow larks. Singing
promotes health strengthens the voice,
the organs of the throat and lungs,
and prevents consumption. Singing
is as excellent agent for promoting
mental hygene.

Temperance Orators.

10 make an audience laugh seems
to be the main object OF many of the
itInerant lecturers who have entered
the list against intemperance. Funny
stories, going to show that indulgence
IN strong potatIon engenders wit and
humor, and leads to ludicrous adycn.
lures, are the principle staple of half
the dlscourscs delivered ostensibIy in
the interest of temperance. The ton.
dency Of such harangues is bad.
They are more likely to make man
N love with inebriety than to inspire
him with a horror Of it; but there il
popular element in them and thew
pay. just as urchins make merry
over the vagaries Of drunkarL In
the street. children Of larger growth
chuckle over the absurdities of inebri.
ETY. as illustrated by facetions temper
ance lecturers. No sot will ever be
rescued from degradation by present
ing TO him the comic phases of the
vice that is destroying him; nor will
any man who has not yet fallen into
the slough Of dissipation be saved
from it by calling his attention to the
grotesque saying and doings Of be-
ings already wallowing in its mire.
One Of the most effective argu-
ments in favor Of total abstinence
from intoxicating drinks is their un;-
rersat and horrible adulteration.
Never before has what is called
doctoring" Of liquors and wines
been practiced to the same danger
Gus extent that it is now. Let any
temperance lecturer who wishes to
create a profound sensation in the
public mind obtain samples Of the
distilled and fermented liquors sold.
and have them analyzed by compe-
tent chemists. Let him exhibit TO
his audience the proportions of dead.
ly poison which the unerring process.
ses Of science prove them to contain.
and he can hardly fail to startle the
moderate drinker and make the drunk.
ard shudder. The fact is that under
existing revenue laws no man can
make living by selling spurious bev-
erages unless he mixes the product Of
the still at least half and half with
poison more or less diluted. Vile es.
sences and essentialoils, ether, vitriol,
and strychnine are mingled with the
water used to increase the quantity Of
the liquor. Thus is the stuff imbibed
at every bar fired and favored. The
worst liquor retailed in New York ten
years ago was not as perncious as
that now sold in what are called ere.
spectacle bar-rooms." Let this fact
be demonstrated las it easily may be)
and urged upon the att n.ion OF the
public by the apostles OF temperance.
1t will surely have more beneficial
effect than the iocplar anecdotes with
which many of them endeavor to
amuse their hearers.

New Feature In English Education.

The study of America is a new
branch of an Englishman's education.
Hitherto sadly neglected one, it is
now forced upon him by stubborn and
startling facts, unexplainable to for
mer ignorance, dumb working to for
mer contempt. An eminent English
gentleman, Mr.. Handel Cossham,
thus repeats Sir Morton Peto's advice
to his fellow Britons:
The Americans understand Eng
land better than we understand
America. One reason of this is that
they travel more here than we do
there. l was informed, on what l
believe to be good authority. that
there are ususally at least 10000
Americans travelling in Europe,
whereas, l do not think there are
more than one-fourth of that numb er
Of Englishiaen travelling in America.
| take this opportunity of most earn
estly counseling the public and COM
mercial men of this country to make a
tour to America: and if the aristo-
cratic section Of our country, the
landed interest. would also take the
trouble to cross the Atlantic, il would
marvelousiy tend to open their ewes
and brush away the dust of aristo-
cratic prejudices and ancient ira
dition.
venture to say that in the future
America will play so important part
in the history of the world that no
man will be fit to take position as
statesman and public teacher
who does not keep himself informed
as to the policy and progress of
America. 1t is important, too, that
America should be visited by the
right kind of men. They do not
want the kid-gloved, mere drawing
room men. who believe in nothing
but scented handkerchieis and them
selves. America does not want
"snobs" to visit her. she wants men
who can look beyond their noses, and
see without prejudice the growth of
country that in seventy-fiye years has
sprung from three millions Of people
to thirty, and in wealth, intelligence.
respect for law, patriotism and relig.
ions feeling is the equal, TO say the
least, of any of the nations of Europe.
