THE OLD CHURCH BELL.

Ring out merrly,
Lonely, cheerlly,
Blithe old bells, from the steeple tower;
Hopefully, tearfully.
Joyfully, fearfully.
Moveth the bride from the maiden power,
Cloud there is none in the fair summer sky,
filings benson down from on high;
Children sing loud. as the train moves along,
Happy the dead that the rain raineth on.
Knell out drearily,
Measured and wearily,
Sad old bells, from the steeple gray;
Priests chanting slowly,
Solemnly slowly,
Passeth the corpse from the portal To-Day.
Drops from the leaden clouds heavy fall.
Dripping over the plume and the pail;
Murmur old folks. as the train moves along.
Happy the bride the sun shines on"
Toll al the hour of prime.
Matin and vesper chime,
Loving old bells, from the steeple high
Rolling like holy waves
over the lowy graves,
Floating up, prayer frausht, into the sky
Solemn the lesson your highest notes teach
Stern is the preaching your iron tongues
preach,
Ringing in life from the bud to the bloom,
Ringing the dead TO their rest in the tomb
Peal out evermore,
Peal as ye pealed OF yore,
Brave old bells, on each Sabbath day;
In sunshine and gladness,
Through clouds and through SAD
ness,
Bridal and burial have passed away;
Tell US life's pleasures, with death are SIN
Tell us that death ever leadeth TO life
Life is our labor and Death is our rest;
II happy the living the dead are the blest.

racers broke out their spinnakers and
had all sail flying, and the run home was
fast. The Maris made it in one hour and
45 seconds, and the Dragon in one hour
and 81 seconds, gaining on the run. beat
ing the Naris eight seconds. This was
largely due to the fact that the wind,
which was over the quarter, freshened
greatly, and the rear boat brought it up
with her.

It was amid compliments Of whistles and
cheers that the Maris crossed the line, and
then the Dragon was watched. She was
pushed along by the breeze that she was
bringing with her, ana it seemed pretty
sure that she would not be beaten as badly
as some Of the Charlestonians had bet.
IL was a foregone conclusion that the
Maris would win the race, and It was only
on the time that any betting TO speak OF
was done. She came faster than had the
Maris, and as she drew near the line, il
became apparent to those on board the

DOCTORS HAD A LIVELY TIME.
Exciting Topics Said to Have Been
Discussed by Ga. Medical Society.

The meeting of the Georgia Medical
Society last night is said to have been
an interesting one At least, ii is known
that there were some very interesting
questions to come and questions which
were likely to provoke hot debate. The
meeting was largely attended, and con-
tinued in session for about two hours.
Members who were Intercepted after the
meeting, however, said that the discussion
had been of the most orderly character
and that nothing out of the ordinary had
ocurred
The questions which it is understood
were 10 come before the meeting related
to the professional conduct of two prom
inent members. who were charged with
violations Of ethics, the matter. it is
stated, relating to a patient who was op-
Grated upon at one Of he hospitals by
the two physicians in question without
the physician in charge of the hospital
being taken into consultation.
The question of the collection of arrears
of dues was also said to be a serious
source of contention, charges having been
made that the members of the former St.
James Dispensary were being discriminat-
ed against in this matter. The physicians
against whom charges Of unprofessional
conduct were brought, are also under
stood to be members of the Savannah
Medical Society, more recent organiza-
ton than the Georgia.
The discussions in the Georgia Medical
Society, beginning with the formation of
the st. James Dispensary, some time ago,
and accumulated by the organization of
the Savannah Medical Society, and the
more recent discussion of the hospital
question before Council, with incidental
Developments following this discussion,
have become so serious as to at times
threaten the disruption of the society.
The probabilities are that the latest clash
has been only temporarily averted, and
that there will be further Developments
