THE CHRISTMAS BELLS.
Clement Scott in the London Neios.

Clement Scott in the London Nelcs
Once more across the leafiess land
We hear the clash of Christmas chimes;
The young and old stand hand in hand,
And dream the past in present times.
There is story in the Bells
That comes in whispers through the air;
OfLoye to some their music tells,
They sigh to others of despair.
Last year we flung the window wide;
Twas such Christmas Eve as this;
We bade the bells to greet the bride
And consecrate the bridegrooms kiss.
little year, too brief, alas!
To save the ship or still the wave;
Tomorrow morning we shall pass
The flowers on her husbands grave!
A year ago! you can't forget
The darkness of last Christmas night,
little robin cold and wet
Flew dazed and hungry to the light.
Our holly vreaths unwithered STILL
The glad new year had scarcely come,
We heard a shout across the hill,
Our longl lost brother had come home!
Good Will and Peacer' in leafy scroll
We saw above the chancel dim;
We heard the mighty organ roll
Its music for the Christmas hymn.
The sermon was of love, and all
Uprose, just blest-a Christian fold;
Still fathers kisses never fall
On mothers forehead as of old!
Ring on, ye Christmas bells, of peace;
Ring on of love that never dies;
The love that lasts though life must cease,
The life of deathless sympathies;
Ring out the only true belief
Across the meadows and the plain,
The woods once more will smile in leaf;
The summer flowers come again.
This is the music ofthe chimes
That crushes hate and kills despair;
The gospel of the good old times
Filling with love the very air;
Though hope lies buried, it will rise;
Though sorrow triumphs, twill depart.
Love will relight grief-wasted eyes
And fill with joy the empty heart.

"She is, indeed, said Mrs. Bangs, "Do

where she learned to swear ?"

Nothing is more inconvenient than the
holding of a court martial in the presence Of
visitors, or administering even the simplest
punishment. But in this case this was
necessary. No witnesses were-heard, The
culprit did not plead. No counsel was
present. The judge bade Silas find Mary,
take her to her bedroom and lock her In.
And Silas did SO.
No II do not think this punishment
was>a as severe on Mary Martin as it was on
Mrs. Shepard.
For Mrs. Shepard, | am well aware that
it embittered all the afternoon. She had
promised herself the pleasure of once hang.
ing stocking from the ledge above the
kitchen fire, and of filling it with apples
and FIGS and raisins and certain candies,
which for this very purpose she had or
dered from Portsmouth. All this for one
girl.
No stocking now
She pretended she did not think OF
Mary. She did not once allude to her.
Nor did her husband. Nor did Silas. Nor

tunatsly did no material damage 10 the
building or occupants TSsse granades
were made By taking the trunk Of small
maple tree, about three inches in diameter,
and saving 1t up into eight-inch lengths.
These were bored with an inch auger about
three-fourlhs Of tina way through, 9 cartridge
inserted, with fuse extending two or three
inches beyond the block, and then
The ori6ce was closed with .
plug. About thirty of these implements OF
warfare had been provided, but before all
could be used the men handling them were
driven eff and the granades captured.
All this time the battle had been raging
between the main body of the assailants and
the guards, the former being
SLOWLY FORCED BACKWARD,
hut still contesting every inch of the ground.
Once or twice they charged up to within
ten or twelve yards of-the muzzies OF the
shotguns or sixteen shooters OF the guards,
only to fall back again before the steady
FIRE. Two of the latter had fallen, while
three OF the attacking party had been
ht and had gone TO the rear In
the care Of friends. Finally, and 1t
ia said because ammunition was giving out,
the ASSISTANTS retrested to the west side OF
the railroad track, where they renewed the
fight for a time, but in q teE mo-
ments they with rev slowly southwark along
the road, taking their wounded comrades
with them. Mr.. Laughlin, Major Anderson
and the men under them made no attempt
10 pursue them, being satisfied to drive the
rioters away. Just as the main column was
retiring the four or FIVE men who had pro.
ceeded along the river, appeared in the bot
tom south of eastern end of the factory
but they were easily driven away.
Ascending toward better understanding
of the battlefield, we give the lay OF thu
ground in the following
