The Bells of Limerick.

The old bells which hung ir the tcwe,
of the Limerick Cathedral, were made by
young Italian after many years of patient
toll. He was proud of his work, and when
they were purchased by the prior of a
nejghboring convent near the lake of Como
the artist invested the profits of the sale
in pretty villa on the margin of the lake
where be could hear their Aagelus music
waited from the convent cliff across the
waters at morning, neon and night. Here
he intended to pass his life; but this hapi-
ness was denied him. In one Of those
feudal broiis which, whether civil or for
eign, are an undying worm in a fallen land
be suffered the loss Of his ALL and when
the storm passed ne found himself without
home, family, friends or fortune. The
convent had been razed to the ground, and
the chef d's deurre of his handwork, the
tuGeiul chimes whose music had charmed
bis listening ear for so many happy days
Of his past life, had been carried away to
the foreign land. lie became wanderer
His hair grew white and his heart witbered
before he again found resting place. In
all these years of bitter desolation tie
memory of the music Of the bells never
left hnl be heard it by day. and when
night came, ana troubled sleep, it whisper
ed 70 him soothingly OF peace and happi-
ness. One day he met mariner from
over the sea, who told him story of
woHdrous chime Of bells he had heard in
Ireland. An intuition told the artist tat
they were his bells. He journeyed ard
vovaged tbither, sick ard weary, and sailed
up the Shannon. The ship came to anchor
in the port near Limerick, and he took
passage in a small boat for the purpose of
reaching the city. Before him the tall
steple Of st. Mary's lifted its turreted head
above the mist and smoke of the old town.
He leaned back vcarily yet with a happy
light beaming from bis eyes. The angels
were whisr rering to him that the bells were
there. he prayed "Oh, let them sound
re loving welcome. just one note of
greeting, o bells ard roy pilgrimage is
done!"
Il was beautiful evening. The air was
like that of his own Italy in the sweetest
tine of the year, the death of the spring.
The bosom of the river was like q broud
mirror, rejecting the platines of brigi
gold that Gecked The blue sky, tie towers,
aud the streets Of tie old town in its clear
depths. The lights of the city danced up
on the wavelets that rirpied from the boat
as she glided along. Suddenly the stiffness
was broken. From St Mary tower there
came shower of silver sounds, filing the
air with music The b0atman rested Oh
their oars to listen. The old Italian
crossed bis arms and fixed bis streaming
eyes upon the tower. The sound of his
hell- bore to his Leart ali the sweet mem
ories Of his buried past; home, friends,
kindred, all. At last he was too happy to
speak, too happy to breathe. When the
rowers sought to arouse him, lis face was
upturned to the tower, but HE eyes were
closed. The poor stranger had breathed
his last His own che-d's oenrre had

A Poets C0Hstancy.
BY JOHN G. s AXE.

o praise is ever sweet to hear
In simple candor | confess it;
And then, own. It's doubly dear,
When loving lips-like yours-express it
And yet. when calmly reflect
How much is due to Capids blindness
Forgive ne, dear, if l suspect
Your praises cnly prove your kindness
Whatever virtues l may boast
(And slight indeed is my profession)
The one You praise ana prize the most
May be the least in my possession.
You tell me, sweet YOU leve-revere
A mind SO steady AMI answering;
But never Poe: YET, ! fear,
OF such applause was quite deserving.
The Poets constancy, at best.
Is ike the bee-voluptuous rover;
Still constant tc her honey quest,
Though found in lily, rose or clover.
And do thus my faith impeach
As one untrue to Loves vocation?
A moments patience--i beseech--
And you shall hear the explanation:
Suppose the bee-so prone to stray.
As fancy bids. from bower to bower,
Should chance TO find, some mex; day =
A wondroas honey hearing flower.
Which--though she slipped, and came
again
As often as the day was sunny
Quite unexhausted should remain,
An overlooking fount Of honey.
Such praise as she might ftly claim,
If ne er again she proved a rover,
So mnch (the cases are the same)
Is due your fond and faithful loyer!
