Release of Political Prisoners.

Release of Political Prisoners.
They are free at last! They can face
the sun;
Their hearts now throb with the
worlds pulsation;
Their prisons are open-their night is
DONE
Ills England's mercy and reparation.
The years of their doom have slowly
sped,
Their limbs are withered, their ties
are riven,
Their children are scattered, their
friends are dead,
But the prisons are open-the
''crime" forgiven.
God! what threshold they stand
upon;
The world has passed on while they
We're buried;
In the glare of the sun they walk alone
On the grass grown track where the
crowd has hurried.
Haggard and broken and scared with
pain,
They seek the remembered friends
and places;
Men shuddering turn and gaze again
At the deep-drawn lines of their al
tered faces.
What do they read on the pallid page?
What is the tale Of these woful let
tiers?
A lesson as old as their country's age,
OF love that is stronger than stripes
and letters.
In the blood of the slain some dip their
blade,
And swear by the stain the foe to
follow:
But Il deadlier oath might here be
made.
On the wasted bodies and faces hol-
low.
Ir;shmen! You have kept the peace
Look on these forms diseased and
broken;
Believe, if you can, that their late re-
lease
When their lives are Slapped, is Il
goodwill token.
Their hearts are the bait on England's
hook;
For this are they dragged from her
hopeless prison;
She reads her doom in the Nations
She fears the day that has darkly
She reaches llcr hand for Ireland's
aid
Ireland, scourged, condemned, derid-
ed;
She begs from the beggar her hate
has made;
She seeks for the strength her guile
divided.
She offers q bribe-all, God above!
Behold the price of the dcsecration:
The hearts she has tortured for Irish
love
Sire brings as bride to the Irish ma
ton!
O, blind and cruel! She fills her cup
With conquest and pride, till it's red
wine splashes;
But shreks Mt the draught as she
drinks it up
Her wine has been turned to blood
and ashes.
-'~!r.r.s~
We know her-our sister! Come on the
storm!
God send it soon and sudden upon
her;
The race she has shattered and sought
to deform
Shall laugh as she drinks the black
dishonor.

A funny story, that is. funny to
those not directly interested, is being
told in connection with a Sussex
county wedding which was solemnized
on the day after Christmas. The
groom is the son OF Methodist
preacher. who formerly was pastor of
a Wilmington church, and the bride
also has many friends in this city.
The chief bridesmaid was the sister of
the groom who is a student in the
Woman's College, in Baltimore, and it
was in the Monumental City that she
had her bridesmaid gown built, and it
was there that she purchased all the
charming accessories of her toilet
Never was more tender care given to
the packing of any trunk than that
Woman's College girl lavished upon
every fold and pat she bestowed
upon that wedding finery and the de-
liberation with which she placed it in
her trunk.
Glowing with the consciousness that
her work was well done, she had the
precious trunk checked, and embarked
upon her homeward journey, at peace
with the world and herself
In due course of time she arrived at
her destination. but not so with the
trunk. She was a trife disappointed,
but felt sure that it would arrive Upon
the next train. It failed to do so, and

with laughter. The jurymen bent
double and almost rolled from their
seats. The court bit his corncob pipe
harder and looked solepn. II wasn't
any use. There were only two straight
faces in the house. One belonged to
