POETRY.
Welcome TO the Nations.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Bright on the banners of lily and rose
Lo, the last sun of our country sets.
Wreath the black cannon that scowled on our
foes,
All but her friendships the Nation forgets,
All but her friends and their welcome forgets,
These are around her: But where are her foes?
Lo, while the sun of her century sets
Peace with her garlands of lily and rose.
Welcome shout like the war trumpet swell
Wakes the wild echoes that slumber
aroused
Welcome it quivers from Diberty's bell;
Welcome the walls of her temple resound
Hark, the gray walls of her temple re-
sound
Fade the far voices DER hillside and dell;
Welcomed still whisper the echoes around
Welcome still trembles on Liberty's bell
Thrones of the Continents Isles of the Sea
Yours are the garlands of peace we entwIne
Welcome, once more, to the land of the free,
Swallowed alike by the palm and the pine;
Softly the murmur, the palm and the pine;
'tHushed is our strife in the land of the free !"
Over your children their branches entwine,
Thrones of the Continents! Isles of the Sea

An Eccentric Character.

The oldest living graduate of Yale
College was, few weeks ago, the
Rev. Thomas Williams, of Providence,
r. |. He has just ded. Mr.. G. w.
Bowen relates some pf his peculiari-
ties in the Iradepend4at. When Mr..
Williams was Princilhl of Woodstock
Academy, Conn, theI large chimneys
of the building sometimes took a fancy
to smoke at both dds, much to the
annoyance of teachA and scholars.
After several vain attempts one day
to remedy the mattsr, the Principal
raped loudly on tho table and called
out: Attention. Let as pray
He then prayed the lord to take away
the smoke. And it vent, as Mr.. Will
Jams afterward rem arked. One Of
Mr.. Williams mottts was, Clean
illness is next to sodliness. For
nearly every morning during the win
ten he was in the habit Of walking
down the hill back of the village
church at Woodstock and, sitting ON
a rock beside spring for half an hour
would battle his feet. Before gong to
bed, he was frequently known to run
round the church barefooted, when
the snow was fifteen inches deep. He
would then sleep soundly all night.
When he desired to preach particularly
well, he was in the habit of taking off
his shoes in the pulpit before he
began his sermon. His illustrations
were generally more forcible than
elegant. He accepted an invitation to
preach in town in Massachusetts, one
sunday. In the middle Of his dis
course he took occasion to compare
Gods chosen people casting all wicked
ness from their hearts to horse kick
ing away whatever gave offence. II
tell YOU the horse would kick" he re-
peated, and with that he drew back
and let his brother minister feel the
practical effects of his forcible illustra-
ton. Tradition does not relate
whether Mr.. Williams had his shoes
on that time or not. Old Dr..
Nathaniel Emmons, one of the most
brilliant theological lights of the last
generation, was an intimate friend of
Mr.. Williams. One day they each
promised to write the funeral sermon
OF the other. Several years passed
by and DR.. Emmons was anxious to
hear now his friend Judged his charac-
ter and writings. So, after some
solicitation, Mr. Williams began to
read the Funeral sermon. He rolled
along smoothly enough for a half hour,
until he began to untangle DR..

" Hush" replied Mr. Williams, "you
can't talk. You are a dead man.

serve consideration, would certainly prefer llay-

THE MARKET.

The market, as is usual at this season, is very
quiet Holders do not seem willing to meet the
views Of buyers, and hence sales are comparative
lyfew and unimportant. Whether the opening of
the active fall trade is to favor a movement in
real estate time alone can determine. Large
amounts Of capital are still reported to be here
for Investment, and it is not likely holders will
let it lie idle many weeks, or, at most, many
months, longer.

WHY SUNDAY WAS SELECTED.


CHICAGO, Aug. 81 noticed in TIE TRIBUNE
this morning short article headed By What
Authority" which surprised me. coming, Us it
did, from = temperance man. do not wish to
question authority, but will just give the reason
why the temperance society to which he refers
was organized on Sunday.
Now, Sunday being day on which more
morning men are relieved from
business than on any other day of the
week, it was thought best that the
organization and meetings should take place
on the Sabbath so as to be more convenient for
those who could not attend during the week.
1t seems rather strange that 2 temperance
man like the author lof Yesterdays article
should ask such a question. Why not give us
helping hand. Why put obstacles in our way
ny questioning our right to obtain a charter!
Better the day better the deed and why not or
ganize on Sunday us well as Monday, if 1t will
do good, and save only one poor soul!

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-1n answer to James ".
Rando]ph's question in your issue of to-day as
to the legality Of organizing Lodge Of Good
Temp1ars on Sunday, would refer him to
Chase's Digest, Page 100, Sec. 20, which is the
only decision that comes near the question, and
which is as follows: sit is not proper for a
Lodge to hold its regular meetings on Sabbath
evenings, and such action works a forfeiture OF
charter" When an authorized Deputy applies
for charter to institute Lodge, the only
question at issue is, Is it in accord
ance with our laws! If not, the char,
ter cannot he granted. Our Grand
Worthy Secretaries are generally men we'll
posted in the rules OF The Order, and never hcs-
tate to issue charter when in accordance with
our Constitution. The Order is founded upon
the principle of s1rcclaiming the fallen and to
save others from falling" II ne can save a
man from the fearful effects Of the Intoxicating
cup OIL Sunday, that is the very essence OF our
Order; and If We fail to do this, we fail TO carry
out the principle for which our Order was estao-
1ishcd. We are engaged in the work OF saving
souls, regardless Of the day Of the week. When
Satan works, is it policy for us to play!
