How AthIone Bridge Was Kept.
Right we'll Horatius guarded
The Roman bridge of old,
And we'll was he rewarded
In riches. LAND and gold.
And Freedom points foreve-
To thy pass, Therriopylae,
To teach mankind that tyrants
Cannot subjugatc the FREE.
Bright are their names in story,
Their fame the bosom thrills.
Who poured a flood of glory
On Rome's eternal hills;
But there We're men as dauntless,
And hearts as true and brave.
BY Shannon's gushing waters
AS e'er by Theirs wave.
Unknown, unnamed, unspoken,
Their praise no minstrels sing;
For them no chord is woken.
No glories round them cling.
But never yet has freedom
More brave defenders known
Than those bold hearts who guarded
The old bridge of Athlone.
De Ginklcs Brandenburgers
Lay by the Shannon's side,
His naughty banner biazed and shone
In all it's strength and pride.
To storm the bridge before him
He summoned one and ALL.
And fifteen thousand veterans
Responded to his call.
In dark and solemn silence
The Irish watched him come:
His solid columns proudly tread
To roll of trump and drum;
\ hundred guns in anger
Their fatal volleys pour.
And loudly echo DER the hills
Beyond the Shannon's shore.
All! who will stem that torrent
Or block his stormy way?
In vain, brave hearts, ye labor,
Strive Ger SO well We may.
Not so, by Heaven! for yonder
Against his foremost line
a fierce and deadly rampant
The Irish weapons shine.
Upon his nassed battalions
They leap with ringing cheer.
The foemen fall before them,
Borne down by pike and spear
But numbers more succeeding,
Their foremost stricken down
The Irish, weak and bleeding,
Reel backward towards the town.
"Ho! comrades" cried their leader,
AS on the bridge he stood,
His helmet dinged and battered
And soiled with dust and blood;
"One charge for Mother Ireland
Up with her banner high!
And if we cannot beat them back,
Well teach them how to die"
We'll hold the bridge against them,
Or sleep in Irish graves;
But who will dare its planks to tear
And cast into the waves?
Already to our breastworks
Their foremost lines have crossed.
Quick, quick with axe, and sledge. and
bar,
Or Athlone town is lost"
l.
Then out leaped Sergeant Custume
And his brave comrades ten,
Their hearts a-thirst for vengeance,
With souls Of free-born men:
If you will man the breastworks
Against the hireling crew,
Well do for holy Ireland
What Irishmen should do
~.
With axe, and sledge; and hammer
They leaped into the wave,
But ere one massive timber cracked
They met. a bloody grave.
Ten more brave hearts sprang for.
ward,
But soon the iron hail.
In deadly shower belched fire and
death
Through corselet, jack, and mail.
Ten more their comrades followed,
And leaped into the stream.
Ten more by death were stricken
Ere tumbled plank or beam.
But see! it yields. itstotters,
With fearful crash they fall
In one rude mass--bridge, guns and
horse. Z
And Brandenburgers ALL
Fooled. beaten, and defeated,
The fierce De Ginkle fled.

At yesterdays bus dness session. there was unbounded enthusiasm for a prodiguous May festi- wal to take place in Montgom- iery at next years convenqtion. Mont gomery musicians pledged their sup- port and out Of town delegates promis- ed to strive earnestly in the interest of such an event It is planned to augment Montgomery's symphony or lrhestra by chorus of about 100 voices to be drawn not only from here but 5rom the different cities and towns of lthN State.

The present membership, she said, was forty-five including those taken in last. year and those this year
 The first question that came before ,rh5 music teachers was the selection of an official organ of the association. The president said that she felt 1t would be of great benefit to the teach CTS scattered throughout Alabama to have some medium for the exchange of ideas. It was suggested that The Symphony" a musical periodical pub lisheA in Atlanta. be made the off1cial prgaI.
