HOW TUE BELL RANG July 4. 177s.

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 v hispered each 10 eacn,
And the sweat stood on their temples
With the earnestness Of speech.
AS the black Atlantic currents
Lash the wild New England shore,
50 they beat against the State-house,
So they surged against its door.
And the mingiing OF their voices
Made harmony profound,
Till the quiet street Of Chestnut
Was ali turbulent with sound

When "a nations lies At hSzard
We've noiime 10 think OF men
So they beat against the portal.
Man and woman, maid and child,
And the July sun in heaven
On the crowd looked down and smiled.
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain.
Now beheld the soul OF Fresdon
All unconquered rise again.
So they beat against the portal
While all s0lemnly inside
The delegates to Congress,
With reason for their guide,
Ger simple scroll debated,
Which, though simple il might be,
Could shake the cliffs of England
With the thundcrs oil the iree.
At the portals Of the State house,
Like some beacon in 3 storm,
Round which waves are wildly beating,
stood a slender, boyish form,
With his eyes fixed on the steeple
And his ears agape with greed,
To catch the fir announcement
or the signing Of the deed.
Aloft in the high steeple
Sat the beIlman, Old ard gray.
He was sick Of British power,
He was sick of British pay;
SO he sat with lean hand ready
On the elapper of the bell,
When signaled from the portal
The happy news to tell.
Seel see the black crowd shiYers
Through all its lengthy line,
As the boy upon the portal
Looks up aud gives the sign.
And straightway at the signal
The Old bellman lifts his hand,
And sends the good news making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted What rejoicing
How the old bell shook the air,
TIL the claug OF Freedom rufiled
The calm-giiding Delaware
How the bOniires and the torches
Illumed the nights rep0se:
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Slaughtered liberty arose.
The old bell now is silent,
And hushed its iron tongue,
But the spirit 1t awakened
Still lives forever young.
And while we breathe the sunlight
On the Fourth Of this July,
Let Us not forget the bellmdn
Who, 'twixt the earth and sky,
Rang ont ogr Independence
Which, please God, shall never die.

The Ben-BIrd of South America.

The traveller in the tropical Dor
tons of South America is often sur
prised TO hear the distinct and meas
ured tolling Of a bell in localities
where there is no settlement IN many
]eagues. If lie undertakes to follow
the sound, and trace it to its source,
he will be surprised to find that it
proceeds from a bird, which, perched
st the top Of lofty tree, utters its
peculiar note, which so resembles
the sound of bell as to make the
name bell-bird appropriate and de
scriptiYe. The sound is said to be
distinctly heard at distance of three
miles. The bird utters its note all
through the day, even in the hottest
portions, when the fierce heat has
silenced all other birds. The bell
bird is noted for the great difference
between the sexes in plumage. Thu
male is white throughout, while the
female is dusly green color. The
male bird has q peculiar appendage.
in the form of a tube about three
inches in length, attacked to tie
base of the bill This tube IS Jet
black, dotted all over with minute
downy feathers. Ordinarily this tube
hangs down on one side, but the bird
is able to initiate it with air, when ii
stands erect. There are three other
species belonging to the same genus
with the bell-bird. the MAILS IN all
being very different from the females.
The male in one Of the species is
snow-white, with a large SPACE of
naked skin on tae threat, and around
the eyes. These naked places, dur
ing the breeding season, become of
fine green color. The Lell-bird
