THE OLD CHURCH BELL.
Two Dollars q Year.

BY COL. W. II. SPARKS.
Ring on, ring on. sweet Sabbath bell.
Thy mellow tone love to heir;
/ was Il hoy wien first 1t fell
In melody upon my ear;
3 In those dear days long past and gone,
When sporting here in boyis1, glee,
The magic Of thy Sabbath, tonc
Awoke emotions deep in me.
Long years have gone, aud have straye,l
Out Ger the world. far. far away,
But thy dear tones have round me played
On every lovely Sabbath day.
When stroIIing DER the mighty plains
Spread widely in the unpeopled West,
Each Sabbath morn fvel,eard thy strains
Tolling the welcome day of rest.
Upon the Rocky mountains crest,
Where Christian feet had never trod,
Inthe deep bosom OF the West ''s
I've thought Of thee and worsbiped God.
Ring on, sweet bell! I've come again
To hear thy cherished call to prayer;
There's less Of pleasure now than pain
In those dear tones which fill my ear.
Ring on, ring on, dear bell ring on!
once more Pve come with whitened head
To hear thee toll. The sounds are gone
Aud ere this Sabbath day has sped
I shall be gone, and may no more
Give eur to thee, sweet Sabbath bell!
Dear church and bell, so loved of y0re,
And cllildhood's happy home, farewell.

holy remembrance, even though the fires
of patriotism sometimes burn low. How
the celebration and observance of them
link the entire people Of a nation together
those who have long since passed down
the shadowy aisles Of time-the actual
participants in the strife and victory
with loyal and sympathetic hearts of the
present and generations yet unborn. The
songs Of triumph of the far, distant past
come echoing down the centuries, in
tones still clear and with clarion notes
distinct and penetrating, and as our own
voices joyfully catch mp the glad refrain,
earnest souls tell us that the best part of
the rejoicing is our peryading sense Of
the universal brotherhood which alone
renders the sympathy a reality and not Il
sham. We hear the monrnful 4Nisereres,
rs we'll. Triumphal anthems do not oh
scure the saddened minor strains which
float ever TREMENDOUSLY upon the air,
almost hushing the glad hymns Of vic
tory with soft whisperings of a nations
anguish and peoples bitterness and
pain. The truth forces itself home to us
| that we can not stand or fall alone.
| What affected humanity countless gener-
ations ago, for veal or for woe, can not
fail to touch MS pleasantly or painfully
to-day, and AL posterity will be more OF
less influenced. So it is not sympathy
alone that causes Il continuance of the
observance of sacred national events il,
| the past, but a strong consciousness that
those crises assisted, nay, shaped the
civilization and enlightenment of a rich
and glorious present. And we have tn
chronicle not only successes and noble
achievements, but the failures and dire
calamities as well, whose darkened slhad-
ows tend to l,eighten the lustre of the
former by very contrast. The minor
chords must ever blend with the clearest
trumpet sounds of triumph, lending q
sweet, sad significance and completing
the harmony Of the whole.

hold? Certainly, if the necessity of
spending four or five months away from
home annually, is obviated, it will be Il
wonderful advantage to the progress of
the city, not to speak of the comfort OF
the scores of patient, plodding husbands
and fathers who submit to the dispersion
of their families during the heated term,
SO 'long drawn ont" with us. One of
the most prominent lawyers in the city
was deploring this necessity (1)a short
while ago. He said he would never adj
wise yonng professional man, domestic
and home-loving, to settle i'll this city,
as it would be impracticable for closely
occupied man to leave, generally, in the
summer, while he would have to endure
the separation from his family, whether
or no. During period of nearly thirty
years, this summer exodus question has
been the black spectre in his life. OF
course any reasonable man would natur-
ally expect an occasional absence Of wife
and children, and with them the Lares
and Penates Of a happy household, but a
too frequent and ceaseless repetition is
apt to sap the patience of tho most self
rennnciatory. My barrister friend is
quite accomplishing, however, :..id ac-
cepts the inevitable law of events in a
meek-spirited patience, and never seems
even dimly suspicious Of the sellishness
of those for whom he SO untiringly tolls
In addition t" professional duties, he at
tends to the taking up of carpets and
general dismantling of the honse, pre-
paratory to the summer, after the depart
nre of his family, aud before they return
late in the fall, snpcrintends careful
and complete adjustment! Now, dom,
you think such a man too good and Iowa

The strong aesthetic tendencies generated
by Oscar Wilde, "tl'e soulfnl-eyed and
intense" are suppressed for the present,
at least, and in their stead, the military
craze has fastened upon us. 1t is difficult
to decide which is most abnormal in it's
effects! On the whole, / rather think
the military evidences a more healthy
state of mind. But Floy, how meanly
grasping is human nature, after all the
fine things moralsts say Of the loftiness
of human attributes. Before the Louis
vile drill, it seemed almost too much to
expect that our Company, well practiced
rs it was, conld gain precedence Of tile
celebrated Chickasaws, and it was indeed
grand triumph when they were
awarded the first prize. Then we were
all puffed mp with success, and deemed
them quite invincible. So the news from
indianapolis was a great disappointment,
and the former citation sank almost to
zero. When nil we learn to be thankful
for small favors, and gather "Good " to
our arms, without the everlasting Turk
ing consciousness that it might have been
"Better7"
The Porter Rifles were pitiless]y beaten,
and l was sorry for them. They should
certainly look to their laurels, now that
the Crescents have proved themselves
