HOW THE BELL RANG.

There was tumult In the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were black with people,
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering in corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples
With the earneStness of speech.
AS the black Atlantic currents
Lash the wild New England shore,
So they beat against the state house,
SO they surged against its door;
And the mingling of their voices
Made harmony profound,
Till the quiet street OF Chestnut
Was all turbulent with sound.
"Will they do ito" "Darc they do lt?"
"Who is Speakirg?" whats the ncws?'
what of Adams"" "What of Carroll?"
"Oh, God grant they won't refuse"
MAKE some way there!" "Let me nearcrr
~ am stltlng!" "Stifc then!
When nations llfe's at hazard
We've no time to think of men,"
So they beat against the portal,
Man and woman, maid and child;
And the July sun in heaven
On tho crowd looked down and smiled.
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood In vain,
Now beheld the Soul of Freedom
All unconqucrcd rise again.
So they beat against the portal,
While all s0lemnly inside
The delegates to congress,
With but reason for their guide,
Der a simple scroll debated,
Which, though simple II might be,
Could shake the cliffs Of English
With the thunders of the free.
At the portal of the state house,
Like some beacon in storm,
Round which waves are wildly beating,
stood slender, boyish form,
With his eyes fixed on the stecple
And his ears agape with greed,
To catch the first announcement
OF the signing Of the deed.
AlOft In that high stceple
sat the bellnIan. old and gray;
lie was sick Of British power,
lie was sick of British pay;
so he sat with lean hand ready
On the clapper of the bell,
When signaled from the portal,
The happy news to tell
See! see! the black crowd shlvers
Through all its lengthy line,

Charlie Cornwall and his wife enjoyed,
during the fist year or so of their mar
rage, the blissful belief that each had
been the others first love. Still, al
though Charlie was fully persuaded that
his Lucy had never seen anything low
able in man before she met him, and al
though Lucy was convinced that her
husband loved her with true and una
dulterated affection, Mrs. Cornwall
could not entirely throw off the distrust
of the opposite sex which is always TO
some extent innate in women, and be-
ing aware that there is very popular
code of ethics which makes marriage
equivalent to license, she kept a jealous
eye upon her husband. Nothing, how
ever, happened TO interfere with the
harmony and happiness OF their life to-
