"WIDE AWAKES, DO YOUR DUTY?"
An Incident in Waterbury, just Previous to
the Opening of the War.


the Opening of the War.
William P. Fuller, in Detroit Free Press
On the evening of March H. 1861, the Hart
ford Wide Awakes went to Waterbury, Conn,
as guests of the Republicans of that city, where
over 200 torchbearers received them at the
depot After parade of the streets the Wide
Awakes formed a hollow square in front of
Browns Hotel, which faced the public green,
with their Waterbury friends standing compactly
within. Outside, the street was packed with a
peaceful concourse until speaking began from
the hotel balcony. Then the peaceful people,
who surged against the Wide Awakes, began
such a demoniae bowling and yelling
that speaking was impossible and was
suspended. Captain Chalker of the Hart
ford Wide Awakes, was on the bal.
which Stephen w. Kellogg was chairman.
When the bowling ceased Mr. Kellogg again
essayed to speak, and was again howled down.
One of the Wide Awake lieutenants called to
Captain Chalker if it best to ''go in. "
Captain Chalker replied, ''Wait and see" They
waited and they saw. Mr.. Kellogg after being
roared down four times, turned to Captain
Chalker, said he could do nothing, and that
speaking would have to be dispensed with
Captain Chalker asked if he wanted to speak
and was told that he did. Did Mr.. Kellogg de-
sire to have order restored2 and the reply again
was ''yes."
Captain Chalker then stepped to the front of
the balcony and gave the order ''Wide Awakes!
10 your OuCy!' In an instant every torch was
lowered, the lamps unshipped. and the stats
grasped in ready hands. and the Wide Awakes
with their war cry. wide Awake, Boysln set
upon the brawling crowd and set them flying
with bruised heads to the winds That was all
there was of it, and when the enemy had been
put to flight the Wide Awakes restored their
lamps to the STATS and again took up position
outside the meeting, as line of defence.
Friend and foe alike were surprised at this
demonstration of the Wide Awakes After the
excitement was over, the meeting was resumed
and speaking had been going on for half an hour
or so, when the foe. reinforced returned to the
charge, and hurled anathemas and clubs, and
stones and dirt at the assembled multitude
The Wide Awakes took no notice of their attack
and this emboldened the assaants to come
closer, when again the order rang out, "Wide
Awakes, do your duty!" Again the lamps ana
stats parted company, and again the Wide
Awakes pursued their flying prosecutors. This
time their campaign was a longer and more
thorough one, but when the Wide Awakes re-
turned and stood again in line of guard they
had accomplished their errand, and the men
who, through all their line of march during the
evening had waylaid them with imprecations
and missiles, which had continued up TO and into
the meeting on the square, were seen no more

less ghost,
stiffness deeper than Ocean, where gather the count
less host
OF shades that shades reflections of glooms that
are shades of gloom
And echos of thoughts unfathomed which never in
words find room
There are thoughts which move at midnight too deep
for Visions reach
There are waves deep down in silence too strong for
the grasp of speech;
And mystic intuition in infinite depths of space
Too far to impress reflections or shades on mortal
face.
We know in the silent chambers the beats of distant
heart,
We have seen with an inner vision the curtains of
silence part,
And far in the shaded distance have read as on magic
scroll,
The words sound could utter addressed to an
est SOUL
There things deep and sacred they fee the ap-
proach of sound,
There ideas pure and holy no natural hedgerows
bound
And somewhere we'll adjusted, unseen, unheard, in
tense.
Are the truths whichreach us only through seventh
mysterious
We hear not speak not, feel not, yet we think and
trust, and know,
While the viewless mystic currents sweep by in their
While above the mirrored crystal there futter the
ghostly wings,
And song too sweet for language its iubant anthem
brings.
The gandest truths of the ages have entered the heart
like this,
The things utter producing the greatest
bliss;
Mysterious intuitions swift shades of a shadow
thought,
Have flooded the soul with sweetness in miracle won
ders wrought.
We know there are soul vibrations subtle and glo-
rous bond,
Uniting the world material with something so far
beyond
That it reaches in soul waves too delicate far for
- touch,
That the brightest words are heavy and burden them
overmuch.

Mr. EDWARD RowDON young English coun-
try gentleman, has been placed under heavy
bonds by a London magistrate to keep the peace
towards the Honorable Violet Fox, a young lady
for whom he professed devoted attachment.
So great was Mr.. Rowdon's affection that he
followed Miss Violet and her mother from city
to city, secured lodgings near them and forced
his company upon them on the street Friends
of the ladies begged him to cease what they
termed his prosecutions, but he refused
to listen to them. One day he encountered the
young woman and her mother in HYDE Park,
and forthwith fell upon his knees in the dust
and in the presence Of the crowd declared his
love in loud and passionate tones. It was this
evidence of infatuaton which led to the COM
plant before the magistrate and the lovers tenn
porary incarceration in Jail. He is now at large
but the sympathies of youthful and enthusiastic
lovers will be with him in his enforced
absence from the presence of his dear one. There
was time, immortalized in English verse and
prose- when no lover could be too Unfortunate
and an episode like the one in Hyde Parke would
entitle him, in the estimation of a chiyalrous
public, to the young ladys hand instead of a
