Marco Bozzaris.

AT midnight, in his guarded tent,
The Turk was dreaming of the hour
When Greece, her knee in suppliance
bent,
Should tremble at his power,
In dreams, through camp and court he
bore,
The trophies of a conqueror;
In dreams, his song of triumph heard;
Then wore his monarch's signet-ring:
Then pressed that monarch's throne-a
king;
As wild his thoughts. and gay of wing,
AS Eden's garden bird.
At midnight, in the forest shades.
Bozzaris ranged his Suliote band,
True as the steel Of their tried blades,
Heroes in heart and hand,
There had the Persian's thousands
stood,
There had the glad earth drank their
blood,
On old Plataea's day:

air,
The sons of sires who conquered there.
With arms to strike, and souls to dare.
As quick, as far as they.
An hour passed on-the Turk awoke:
That bright dream was his last;
He woke-to hear his sentries shrek,
ITO arms! they come! the Greek! the
Creek"
He woke-to die mid fame and smoke,
And shout, and groan, and sabre stroke.
And death shots falling thick and fast
As ltghtnings from the mountain cloud:
And heard, with voice as trumpet loud.
Bozsaris cheer his band: -
..Strike till the last armed foe expires:
Strike-for your affairs and your fires; :.
Strike-for the green graves Of your
and sour native land!"

ish proceedings connected with the cele-
bration of Queen Victoria's Jubilee. On
April 30, at the regular meeting of the
city corporation, the mayor presiding,
a motion of Councillor. Harrington,
which had been on the agenda paper for
some time-that the corporation be
suitably represented at the Longest
Reign Celebration" in London-came on
for discussion A rather acrimonious
debate ensued, which was cut short by
a motion ''to proceed with the next
business" which concerned the repair
ing of an old street, and which was
carried by a large majority, her Majes-

to the energy of the Catholic chaplain,

Hoche, the Loire, the Resolve land the
Biche. He was signaled from the
shore. At day break next morning a
British squadron, consisting of six sail
of the line one razee eco guns) and two
frigates, under the command of Sir
John Barlore Warren, hove in SIGHT.
Bompard signaled the French frigates
and the schooner to retreat, and clear
ed the decks for action. A boat from
the Biche came alongside the Hoche for
port orders. The French officers gath
cred around Tone and urged him to
escape. "The combat is hopeless" they
said; I'VE shall be prisoners of war; but
what will become of you?" He answer
ed, "Shall it be said that I fed when
the French were fighting the battles of
my country? No. shall stand by my
ship" The British admiral having dis
patched two sail-the Race and frig-
ate-to give chase to the Loire and the
Resolve, bore down on the Hoche with
the rest of the squadron. The French
ship was surrounded, but Bompard nail
ed his colors to the mast. For six
hours the Hoche stood the combined
fire of the English ships. Her masts
were dismantled, her rigging was swept
away; the scuppers flowed with blood;
the wounded filled the cockpit. At
length, with yawning ribs, with five
feet of water in the hold, her rudder
carried away, her sails and cordage
hanging in shreds, her batteries dis
mounted, and every gun silenced, she
struck. Tone commanded a battery,
and fought like lion, exposing himself
to every peril of the conflict. The
Hoche was towed into Lough Swilly,
and the prisoners landed and marched
to Letterkenny. The earl of Cavan
invited the French officers to breakfast.
Tone was among the guests. An old
college companion, Sir George Hill, re-
cognized him. "How do you do, Mr..
Toner" said Hill; II am very happy to
see you" Tone greeted him cordially.
and said, "How are you, Sir George?

HIS BETRAYAL
The police, who expected that Tone
was among the prisoners, lay in wait
ing in an adjoining room. Hill went
to them. pointed to Tone, and said,
''There is your man." Tone was called
from the table. He knew that his hour
had come but he went cheerfully to his
doom. Entering the next apartment he
was surrounded by police and soldiers,
arrested, loaded with irons, and hurried
to Dublin"
The end soon same. Tone was tried
by courtmartial and sentenced to: he
hanged. He asked to be shot,, but his
prayer was refused. Napoleon threat
ened that if any officers holding French
commissions were hanged he would re-
taliate by hanging English officers of
equal rank. A few days later Tone was
found dying in his cell, with his throat
cut. The jailers reported it case of
suicide, but many regard it as a rope
tition of the murder of Oliver Bond.

one of the noblest works of piety and
religion that can we'll be conceived.
The sacred edifiee, when completed, will
be in every way worthy of it's high
and holy purpose. The architect, Mr..

have taken over the Giants Causeway

taxing tourists who desire to view that
great work of nature, that for centuries
was free to all the world. Lord An
trim-the alien landlord-has. changed
all that by renting the right of way to
this syndicate, who pay him about 5000
year to allow them to swindle those
who may desire to view the great nat

decline to be swindled in this instance,
they could easily make Lord Antrim
and his syndicate sick of their specula-

WESTMEATH,

Referring to the crop prospects Of this
year, the Westmeath Independent says:
Reports both from Westmeath and
Roscommon relate very distressing
condition of things. In the last men
toned county, which is a good deal de-
voted to tillage, we learn that in low
lying parts water to a considerable
depth covers thousands of acres and has
done so during the greater part of the
spring, leaving it absolutely impossible
to attempt agricultural labor of any
kind. In Westmeath, which is more of
q grazing county, cattle have suffered
very much from the almost continuous
rainfalls of the past two months, and
the severity Of the weather generally.
A change fortunately has now set in,
but the effects of what has been en-
dured will remain as an unpleasant re-
minder of those depending upon agri-
cultural pursuits and those allied with
them, for living"

In a nutshell, the rules essential TO sue
cess are: A clean roosting place, regular
feeding twice day with whole grain, pure
water supplied in iron vessels, green food
of some kind-barley, wheat, cabbage, or
collard leaves-anything that the fowls
will eat. In setting the hens put under
them only what eggs they can cover cas-
lily twelve to fourteen), and make the
nest on earthly matter, and use sulphur to
prevent insects, sprinkling it occasionally
on the nests.
Provide also a large. shallow box full
of dry ashes under shelter where the
fowls can dust themselves.
AS to food, if fed no more than they
really need, its value is fully returned in
the manure afforded by them, if proper
ly saved. Have food and water perfectly
convenient for the settlers, and when the
young chicks are Matched out do not feed
them for twenty-four hours, and from
the very start feed some small grain
German millet and ivory" or AFRICAN. 3"
wheat being the very best food for them
Never feed dough. Supply them with wa
ter in shallow iron vessels. Con6ne the
hen and brood to small coops until the
chicks get strong-at least one week.
Have one cock to six or eight hens, so
as to insure fertility of all eggs.
These rules observed. there is no rea-
son why poultry keeping should not be a
pleasure and a profit. AS in everything
else, poor care, poor results; good care
good results.
