and of Catholic immigrants. The official
call contains pictures OF people and

The new association is to copy Young

and enthusiastically undertook to reach
the goal. To March l. $3.50 new societies
and 562.4oo new members had been re-
ported. The District of Columbia has

and circulated about the streets Of wash

would have passed unnoticed now stirred
a national indignation.
The astonished Secretary of the Navy
made haste to retrace a step which he
had taken quite innocently in the way OF
business. The Constitutions tattered en-.

spirited verses gave the gallant ship a.
reprieve, which satisfied sentimentality.
and large part of the people of the
United States now for the first time
heard of o. W. Holmes. law student at
Cambridge. who had only come of age a.
month ago .'
The old war vessel had arrived in Bos-
ton harbor on July 4, firing a salute in
honor of the day. DR.. Holmes says he
wrote the poem, "OId Ironsides," by a
window in the white chamber Of the
gambrel-roofed house, "stans pede In.
uno," pretty nearly. But, however. hast
lily written. it Is certainly one of the
finest patriotic lyrics in the language and
thrills the heart as only works OF the
highest genius can do.
Standing as it does at the portal Of Dr.
Holmes complete poetical works, It
forms a most spirited introduction to
these. and it shows evidence that tho
genius OF Holmes. like that of Emerson.
seems to have Powered out at once into
vigorous poetical expression without the
necessity Of long apprenticeship to the
art.
The Constitution was built IN Boston
in 1871. The United States and Presi-
dent were sister ships. Her first COM
nander was Capt Isaac Hull At the
declaration of war on June Is, rN2, the
vessel was at Annapolis. Just one
month afterward she fell In with a
British fleet. and her escape from this
fleet. in a chase which lasted tree days
in an almost dead calm, IS considered one
OF the greatest feats OF seamanship OF
The war. On August Is. 1S12, she fought
the Guerrero, beating the latter vessel.
which was burned. The Constitution re-
turned to Boston: Capt Hull resigned
and was succeeded by Capt. cambridge.
of the Constellation. Later she defeated
the Java OF the coast of Brazil, and
February %. 1914, she fought and cap
tured the Cyane and Levant.
When the civil war broke out the
Constitution was lying at Annapolis aS
A training ship, and came near falling
INTO the hands of the Confederates, and.
1t was with great difficulty that she was
able TO get away and towed to New
York. The vessel was partially rebuilt
in 1871. crossed the Atlantic for the LAST
time in 1878, and was stored at the
Boston Navy Yard in 1897.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1911-04-02

The poem Of "Oid Ironsides," by Oliver
Wendell Holmes. was first printed in the
Boston Daily Advertiser, at the time
when 1t was proposed to break up the old
naval vessel as UNIT for service. The fol-
lowing is the paragraph which led to
the writing Of the poem and which was
printed on Tuesday. September II, 1890:
"'Old Jrosides'-It has been affirmed
upon good authority that the Secretary of
the Navy has recommended to the board
of navy commissioners to dispose of the
frigate Constitution. Since it has been
understood that such a STEP was in con-
temptation we have heard but one opin-
ion expressed and that in decided dis
appreciation OF the measure. Such a ma
tional object of interest, so endeared to
our national pride, as Old Ironsides' Is,
should never by any act Of our govern
ment, cease to belong to the navy. as
long as our country Is to be found upon
the maps, of nations.
Tn England 1t was lately determined
by the admiralty to cut the Victory, a
1c0-gun ships(which II will be recollected
bore the flag of Lord Nelson at the bat
tie of Trafalgar), down to a seventy-four
but so loud were the lamentations of the
people upon the proposed measure, that
the intention was abandoned. We conf
IDENTIFY anticipate that the Secretary of
the Navy will, in like manner. consult the
general wish in regard to the Constitu-
ton, and either let her remain in ordi-
nary or rebuild her wherever the public
service may require"
The poem was an impromptu outburst
Of feeling, and was published the next
day but one after Mr.. Holmes read this
para graph-
When Oliver Wendell Holmes gradu-
sted from Harvard University in 1879 he
vas still in doubt as to what should be
his calling in life. He studied law for
a year. but found no interest in it. and
no trace Of any influence of this study
/. to be noted in his writings. He had
written considerable poetry while at col
Iege, and during his law year The
CoIlegian," edited by John o. Sergeant,
vas alluringly ready 20 receive all the
poetry which Holmes would contribute.
One genuine lyric outburst done in this
year Of the law almost made him, in a
way actually famous.
The frigate Constitution. historic in
deed but old and unseaworthy, then lying
in the navy yard at Charleston. was
condemned by the Navy Department to
be destroyed.
On a scrap of paper. with lead pen
Gil. he rapidly shaped the impetuous
stanzas of ''Old Ironsides." Fast and
far the Holmes poem travelled through
the newspaper press of the country. The
verses were even printed in handouts
