POETRY.
THE CHURCH BELL.
BY B. c. WALKER.

Upon the still and silent air
A BELLS deep tones are swelling,
AS if the Angel of Despair ''' iisS
Some mortal's doom was telling.
Its sounds are solemn-measured, slow,
In lingering sadness they depart;
Responsive strains of anguish flow,
And leave worn and aching heart.
Again its brazen voice is heard
In quick succession, peal on peal;
A youtlful-huttering heart is stirred
With glowing thoughts of future veal.
Al, fond one: 0, how soon may come
The time when this thy marriage bell
Hay lose lis glad and joyous tone
And sound solemn funeral knell?
1t rings to tell the fight of time,
And tolls away life's fitful lease;
Its tones in pious echoes chime
The holy symphony of peace.
All lifc's strange notes responsive flow
In careless cadence from its tongue;
The ccasclcss changes, joy and woe
Alike, from its dull harp are flung.
IT rings when nature ushers in
a member oflifcs numerous train,
And when he leaves this sphere of sin
1t brcathes his solemn sad refrain.
The wreath which decks the bridal brow
May serve as faded immortelle;
The bell that pcalcd the nuptial VOW
May toll the dccp-toned funeral kncll. I

A BOYS FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE
The New Bedford Mercury says that q
few days ago Nelson III. Stevens, boy
living at East Fair Haven, Mass, saw a
large eagle swoop down on a flock Of
fowls, seize one, and fly into the woods.
The boy went for his gun, which was
loaded with shot for rabbit shooting, and
on pursuing the eagle, found that the fowl
had ESCAPED, and that the eagle was
chasing it through the bushes. He then
fired, wounded the eagle, and fierce
hand-to hand tussle ensued, in which the
boy thought he had killed it. He seized
his prize and started for home, threw it
over wall which came in his way, when
it again flew back to the wood. The boy
followed, and in another fight made sure
of killing the bird. He then tock it home,
aud found that it w.ighcd eight and half
pounds and mcrsured six feet nine inches
from tip to tip.

MLrroN's Love OF Mus1c.-Milton

ly in the swelling waves of music. He
scars in the very empyrean of lofty song.
Coleridge calls him the "Musical poet.n
Paradise Lost" throbs with the echoes
that rang; an incessant anthem, in his
musical soul. Music was his only recsea-
tion. In the intervals of severe study,
he gave himself to inspiriting song
When lie stopped to breathe amid the
fierce aud acrid controversies of his active
manhood, he refreshed himself with the
grand harmonies of the organ, or the gen.
tier tones of the flute. He could turn
from the. "Areopagitica," to soothing
choral; from state piper of the Common.
wealth to an anthem. And when, in his
old age, blindnessapd poverty and royal
ban were on him, and the hopes of life

way back to the keys ofthe instrument,
and found consolation ilr the harmony Of
sweet sounds. And out from that music.
