THE BELLS oF sHANpON.

with deep affection and recollection
often think Of those shandon bells,
whose sound 80 wild would, in days of childhood,
Fling round my cradle their magic spells.
On this ponder, where'er wander,
And thus grow fonder, sweet Cork, Of thee;
with the bells Of Shandon
That sound 80 grand on
The pleasant waters OF the River Lee.
I've heard bells Ginning full many a cline in,
Tolllng sublime in cathedral shrine;
While at glib rate brass tongues would vibrste;
But all their music spoke naught like thine;
For memory dwelling on each proud swelling
OF thy belfry kneng Its bond notes free.
Make the bells Of shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters Of the River Lee
I've heard bells tolling =" Old Adrian's Mole In
Their thunder rolling from the Vatican,
And cymbals glorious swinging uproarious
In the gorgeous turrets of Notre Dame;
But thy sounds sweeer than the dome OF Pc ter
Filings DER the Tiber pealing solemnly.
OF the bells OF Shsndon
Sound more grand on
The pleasant waters Of the River Lee.
There's bell in Moscow, while on tower and kiosko
In ST. Sophia the Turkman gets,
And loud in the air calls men to pray
From the taperiDg summit of tall minarets.
Such empty phantom freely grant Them
But there's an anthem more dear to me;
Ills the bells of shandon
That sound 80 grand on
The pleasant waters of the River Lee

An Eloquent Passage.

The following are the closing para
graphs of Mr.. Blaine's memorial ad-
dress on the death of General Garfield
Great in life, he was surprisingly great
in death. For no cause, in the very
frenzy of wsntonness and wickedness, by
the red hand of murder, he was thrust
from the full tide of the worlds interest,
from its hopes, its aspirations, its victories,
into the visible presence of death-and he
did not quail. Not alone for the one short
moment in which stunned and dazed, he
could give up life, hardly aware of its re-
linquishment, but through days of deadly
languor, through weeks of agony, that
was not less agony because silently borne,
with clear sight and calm courage, he
looked into his open grave. What blight
and ruin met his apguished eyes, whose
lips may tell-whst brilliant, broken
plans, what b. filed high ambitions, what
sundering Of strong, warm manhood's
friendships, what bitter rendipg of sweet
household ties. Behind him proud, ex-
pectant nation, great host of sustaining
friends, cherished and happy mother,
wearing the full rich, honors Of her early
toll and tears the wife of his youth,
whose whole life lay in his; the little boys
not yet emerged from childhood's day of
frolic the fair young daughter; the
sturdy sons just springing into closest
companionship. claiming every day, and
every day rewardiug fathers love and
care; and in his heart the eager, re joicing
power to meet, all demand. Before him,
desolations and great darkness And his
soul was not shaken. His countrymen
were thrilled with instant, profound and
universal sympathy. Masterful in his
mortal weakness, he became the center
of nations love, enshrined in the prayers
of world. But all the love and all the
sympathy could not share with him his
suffering. He trod the wine press alone.
With unfailing tenderness he took leave
of life. Above the demoniac hiss of the
assassin's bullet he heard the voice of God.
With simple resignation he bowed to the
divine decree. AS the end drew near his
early craving for the sea returned. The
stately mansion of power had been to him
the weary hospital of pain, and he begged
to be taken from its prison walls, from its
oppressive, sitting air, from its homeless
ness and hopelessness. Gently, silently,
the love of great people bore the pale
sufferer to the longed-for healing OF the
sea, to live or die as God should will,
within sight of its heavipg pillows,
within sound of its manifold voices.
With wan, fevered face tenderly lifted to
the cooling bretze he looked out visit
fully upon the oceans changing wonders /;
on its fair sails, whitening in the morn
ing light on its restless waves, rolling
shoreward to break and die beneath the
MONDAY sun on the red clouds of even.
ing, arching low to the horizon, on the &c.
rene and shining pathway of the stars.
Let us think that his dying eyes read q
mystic meaning which only the rapt and
parting soul may know. Let us believe
that in the silence of the receding world
he heard the great waves breaking on a
further shore, and felt already upon his
wasted brow the breath of the eternal
morning"

There was not thing amlss;

had crept away in the darkness, managed to
get across the water and into the Union lines.
He knew all about Roanoke Island, the forts,
the piles aud sunken vessels in the sound, and
the number of Confederate troops on the island.
He knew where there was landing place
Ashby's Harbor-a little inlet on the west side
of the island half way up to Fort Barlow, the
troops could land there and save wading
through the marshes He pointed out the place
and was of great service.
THE TROOPS.
Gen. Burnside had three brigades one COM
manded by Gen j. G.. Foster, who was in Fort
Sumter when the South Carolinians began the
war; one commanded by Gen Parke, and one by
Gen. Reno. In the woods by Ashby's Harbor
were some Confederate troops with their can

them upon the run up the narrow road toward
Fort Barlow
Night sets in. Rain is falling, but the SOL
diers leap into their boats, reach the marsh,
wade knee-deep in mud, and before midnight
10000 men are on shore.
CONFEDERATE TROOPS
Gen. Wise is at Nays Head, on the long, mar
row strip of sand beach east of Roanoke Sound.
He has labored day and night and is down
with fever. There are $500 Confederate
troops on the island, commanded by Col. Shaw.
Three hundred of them are behind breast
work built across the road, a mile from
Asbeys Harbor The Confederates have cut
down the trees in front. On each side of the
road is marsh. There are three cannon be-
hind the breastworks planted to sweep the
road.
THE ADVANCE.
Up the road march the soldiers of Fosters
brigade, the 25th Mass. in advance, followed
by the 23d Mass.
They come upon the Confederate skirmish-
