tract from 'Longfellow"a certain
king who had bell hung in public
place in his country, which any one
who had suffered any wrong should

was allowed TO stand in it's tower un-
used; the weeds and grass grew mp
about it and people almost forgot its
existence, when one day the community
were startled by hearing it ring. A
