Memory Bells.
I an sitting lonely, lonely sitting,
‘Neath a rocky moss-grown hill,
Listening to the plashlng murmur,
Of the silver mountain rlll.
And another sweeter music,
Greets me in this shady dell ;
As I hear the pleasant rlnging,
Of the far-off Memory Bells.
Nearer, clearer sounds their chiming,-
As they tell of Childhood‘s hours,
Bright days spent in careless sporting, .
’Mong the streamlets and the flowers,
Notes of joy from youthful voices,
Float upon the summer air,
Ne‘cr a thought of fear nor sadness,
Guilelcss hearts that know no care,
All the old familiar places,
Round that dear and early home,
Where with brother and with sister,
Hand in hand, we loved to room :—
Trlpping lightly o‘er the meadows,
Wading through the pebbly brook,
Gathering flowers in the woodland,
Peering in each Cloistercd nook.
Oh, those happy days, how fleeting .
Joyful peel the Memory Bells,
Yet the strain grows sad and tender
As of loved and lost they tell.
Of a Mother,——kind and gentle,
Soothing every childish care,
Dearest of the dear home-circle,
Light of all our pleasures there.
Of my brave and only brother.
Dark. sad eyes, and forehead fair,
And my little fairy sister,
Nettie,—with the golden hair.
Of my noble-minded father,
Father,-—whom I loved so well.
Like a requiem—slow and ”lemma
Is the tolling of the Bells.
For a dark-winged spirit hovered
Round our happy household band,
And Death claimed our angel-Nettle
For a better, brighter land.
Then, our Mother’s step grew feeble,
And she cheerful smiled no more I
Soon she passed o'er that dark river,
safely to that heavenly shore.
Neath the willow trees we laid her,
By our dorling’s side to rest :
Where the flowers bloomed above her.
Violets, that she loved the best.
Then, our home was dark and lonely.
Nothing could our sad hearts cheer ;
on, there's no love like a Mother’s,—
No friend like a Mother, dear.
And my Father, broken-hearted—
Missed her in the gathering gloom,
And his feeble, faltering footsteps
~ Loved to linger by her tomb.
Soon we knew that he was dying,
Slowly toll the mournful hell! ;‘
A? I hear seals bi.- his-sins.
And his loving, last farewell.
Then, my life was dark with sorrow.
Yet I was not quite alone.
Stlll my brother cheered and blessed me.
In our once so happy home. '
But our country’s cause then called him.
Andasoldier-true was he,
Now, my heart is breaking—Willie
Sleepeth in the blue, lone sea.
I
And when sad, and fsint, Mill 1"“! ;
In this wide world-all alone ;
All my loved ones gone before me,
Waiting till I joyful come;
on: I sit me down and listen
To the distant music‘s swell,
‘And I take fresh hope and courage
From the precious Memory Bells.

MY BEST SCHOOL MASTER.
gathered and took their seats, and soon
tlze teacher with two of the trustees, was
seen coming up the road. The school-
house was pleasantly situated with '_a
large lot around it,»with shade trees and
a grassy play ground. ”When they enter-
ed every eye was turned to Mr. Daboll.
He took his place,“ and after some .cou-
versation between the trustees and him-
self, one of them stood up and addressed
the boys. He told us of . our duty, re-
minded us of the rules of the school, spoke
of the Vnedessity of obeying the teacher,
and in feet gave us a stern oxhortation
and warning of the penalties Of delinquen-
cy and disorder, and closed by ,introdu-
cing Mr. Daboll as our new teacher. He
then gave the school into his charge, and
the two trustees withdrew.
Daboll was a pleasant looking man,
and seemed to be at home almost from
the first. He listened to all that was
said, looking very sober during the lee-
ture, and seemed to feel quite easy when
it was done. Then politely bowing the
trustees out of the school, he waited a
little to see that they were well out of
the way, and returned to the desk.
“Boys 1” said he, in a kind and famil-
iar voice ,
It was the first word he had said to us.
Every eye was fixed 0n him in a moment.
Every car was quick to catch a really
friendly sound from the teacher. A pin
could be heard dropping on the floor.
“Boys 1” said he, I am glad to maybe
all looking so well, and in such excellent
order and attention. I am to be your
teacher for a time, and I hope we shall
be good friends and find the school a
pleasant place. Your friend Mr. Wise-
man, has just given you some good ad-
vice, and as it is a kind of rare occasion
to have a new teacher come in, and the
time is already pretty well along, I think
we may as well have a little talk togeth-
er before we begin to work, boys. Every-
thing sround as works in some way or
other. The bees at the flowers are sto-
ring up their golden honey for the winter.
The hill'ants are at work at the school-
door. The birds are doing the will of
the Creator is making music over our
heads in the trees. The sunbeam is si-
lently drawing up vapors from the earth
and the rivers, to form clouds to bring
the rain, which makes the earth itself la-
bar in bringing forth grass, and flowers.
and fruit trees, for our happiness and en-
joyment. It" 13 right to work, boys and
I hope you and I will do our work well.”
You can easily imagine that all our
eyes Opened wide and that we could hardly-
believe our ears, to hear such an address
rom' our new teacher. He had taken
the citadel at the beginning. The boys
all said they had never felt before to any
teacher as they did to Mr. Deboll when
he spoke to them in that way. V But to
goon.
Now, boys,” said he, “I shall read
something'to you,”VVand taking a book
out of his pocket, he opened it, and com-
menced reading a very interesting story,
which only added new wonder on the
part of the admiration of the boys.
After he had read two or three pages,
and had secured our close attention he
stopped short, and said :
“By the way, boys, there are two or
three things I ought to say to you, and
“I have an idea that a school should
be. made. pleasant and happy for children,
and I am going to do all I can to make
it so for you. I want you to feel that I
am your friend Not only that, but I
want you to feel that I am your elder
brother, and that I have lived longer,
than you, have learned more, and that I
can teach you something that will be use-
ful to you all your lives.”
“Whenever you have anything diflcult
that you do not understand, come to me
and .I will help you out of it. Do not try
to get round your lessons with them half
learned, and make a. show of knowing
them, but come and honestly tell me you
are in diflicVulty. I shall gladly help you;
and we shall see whether it is a hard
thing to learn or not.
“Then, again, I want you to help each
other. We live in the world with people
around us, to do good to one another.
It makes life happy to make others hap-
py. I find it so. There are some who
think they can get along best by living
f6r themselves. But this is Ii mistake.
When they die, no one misses them on
account of any good or kind actions they
have done. They might as well be a
thorn-bush on the side of a rocky hillside,
as to live without doing good to others.
But,” said Mr. Daboll, “I suppose you
would rather hear the story}? , .
He read several pages further and then
stopped android :
“There are two or three other things I
went to say to you, boys, before I forget
them-
“I spoke just now about honesty. in
your conduct to me, but, I want you to
be honest in your, Conduct to eachother.
Honesty and virtue can be exhibited in
your sports and plays, as well as in your
dealings. Avoid all unkind and wagons-
rous tricks that will annoy a playmate.
Be careful not to break this rule' In any,-
thing, for you break it whenever youdo
to others what you would not have them
do to. you,
At the time of opening school, the boys.
"Aioid angry words and' Improper lea-V
gouge. If possible, I do not wish an un-
kind word to be spoken, while I am in
this school. V The Bible says, “He that
ruleth his spirit is greater than he that
taketh a city. If you want to be true
heroes, try hard to rule your temper and
your tongue, for little words often lead
' to great and serious results.”
“In this way,” said my friend, “Mr. -—
DabOll continued with his story,occc
sionally stopping to make a remark of
hisown,’ o‘r tell us a thing or two he won-
ted us to remember. After a while he
looked at his watch, and said that, as it
was noon, he would dismiss the school,
and we would go to work is the after-
noon. Noon, indeed ? Twelve o’clock
already I That could not be. The time
had passed so happily and the boys had
been so much interested, that the hours
passed unheeded, and all were surprised
when Mr. Daboll told us the time."
with such a teaCh'er ?” I asked.
“ It put new life into us all,” said my
friend.
“ The advanced scholars actually jump-
ed ahead of their lessons. The doll fel-
with their progress ; and I than myself
began to learn. All I know I am in-
debted to him for. He did not raise his
hand during the time he was in school, to
punish a scholar. There was hardly a
case of bad conduct in the school, and he
reproved the culprit so kindly that crep-
etitiou was not- known, and when he left
the school, ‘after a long service, to go to
another sndvhigher situation, the children
Vcried at the loss of their friend, the pa-
rents presented him with a valuable me:
morial of their esteem, and he left on my
own and the-hearts of others on impress
as lasting as our existence.—

of slaves is now small, and the institution
must before long vanish from Delaware,

"Here is a book worth more than all

ans, commands their houses and homes,
to say nothing of the other heavy ord-
nance. This battery is in the midst ”“of
the marsh, 2,000 yards in advance of
MerrisIsland—was located at night by
the men making their way to it on their
Vetomachs. A path, two planks wide, was
then constructed, which was bid from
rebel observation by the marsh grass.
Planks three inches thick were driven
down asthe substratum ; on this were
several 1 layers ; on them logs, and on
them boards.
nance was floated up by— night, and sand
bags innumerable from every direction,
and one night a large force piled them up
and, to the surprise of the rebels, a duo-
gerous battery greeted their eyes next
morning in dangerous proximity, as if
evoked by the mysterious hand of magic.

S- The word “canteen” bad a curi-
ous history. It is perhaps the only word
in our language which, originally English
passed into a foreign tounge, and was af-
terward taken back is a modified form.
As originally spoken by the Saxon it was
—simply tin can, but the Gaul, as is
wont, placing the noun before the adjec-
tive and pronouncing the letter i as e,
brought it out as tincan, pronounced cam-
tem. Adopting a thousand other French
military terms, the dull Englisman took
back his own original word ina new shape.

hence we now say canteen instead of tin-

@‘Below We give alctter just received
rom “Tim," one of the boys who went from
our office in the 17th C. V. As we have had
many, enquiries about where and how he
was, from the friends and patrons whom he
used to serve with the Gazette, we let him
tell his own story of his captivity, meIely
promising that he went through the Chen.
cellorville fight with high commendation
from his company officers for bravery and
good conduct; they also, in writing of his
being “missing" after the Gettysburg fight,
again spoke of his bravery :
ANNAPOLIs, MD., Aug. 28, V1863.
After having been “missing” for about
eight weeks, I have finally turned up here
“all present or accounted for.” We had
a pretty hard time of it I can assure you.
I was taken prisoner on the second night
when the robs-charged on our battery,
which they did not get, but took me as a
substitute. They marched us from Get-
tysburg to Stannton, Va., through the
Shenandoah valley, and almost starved
us then, giving us only a half pint of
flour and a little piece of fresh meat per
day, and one time they marched us from
Thursday morning till Saturday after-
noon without giving us anything, and
the generals would not let us buy any-
thing, nor get any green apples. From
Staunton they sent as to Richmond,
where we arrived Sunday night, and
were put in an old tobacco house and
our kuapsacks, haversacks and canteens
taken from us. We were then sent to
Belle Island, which is “hell the 2d,”
where I staid five weeks and lost over
twenty pounds. The food there, with
the exception of the bread, is what a
Christian would not deal out to hogs. ~
Monday night last, about 8 o’clock,
they commenced to call out a. squad, and
a happier lot of men than those who got_
out you never saw. We were marched
over to the city and put in the tobacco
werehouse till 3 A. M, when we were
given a piece of 'bread, and had our tin
cups taken away, and started for City
Point. We changed cars at Petersburg
and took another train for City Point,
about 9 miles distant. As soon as we
caught sight of the boat, with the'old
flag flying from her stern, how we did yell.
We were put, on board and were Soon
under way and having rations dealt
out without stint. We made Fortress
Monroe about 4 o’clock, and this} place
next morning about eight. We soon
had clean clothes and a piece of soap
dealt out to us, and we felt like new
men. V V
We have got a very good place here,
plenty of grab and no guard on. We
have the freedom of the city. We are
not in the regular Parole Camp. I-am
very week, not having strength enough
.to walk half a mile without feeling play-
ed'oVth, but am improving every day. It
surprised me very much to learn that the

GE-r'rvanFG.-—In a letter to the Danbury
Jefl‘ersonian, describing his experience of the
battle of Gettysburg, “Monte”—who was to-
ken prisoner, and has just been paroled,—
gives the following:
On the left, the first corps was engaged.
After our division reached the knoll the
4th U. S. Opened to the ieft. The 75th
Ohio and the 17th Conn. changed posi-
tions, jumping the fences and dashing
through the wheat, under'a gelling show-
er of solid shot, shell and railroad iron.
Finally we tore down the fence and took
our position near the spot where it stood,
and threw ourselves on the ground to get
a little rest before the CXpected storm—-
should come. Capt Moore threw off his
vest-and lay on his back, covering his
face with a handkerchief. He lay thus
about ten minutes, when the cracking of
rifles in the woods on the front of the 1st
brigade, brought us to our feet. The
75th were leading up. We wheeled to
the right, and advanced in line. There
was a wavering front, and, good God I
the first-brigade broke, running through
us like so many freightened sheep. Col.
Fowler saw the evil, and dashing ahead,
cried, “Charge, 17th, charge 1” It was
not needed to repeat the order. Giving
a yell of defiance, the brave boys charged
through the frenzied Dutch up to the
woods, and poured a succession of vol—
leys into the advancing columns of the
rebels. While going' up the bill, I left
the company, as the centre of the regi-
ment, where the colors are, were a little
in advance, I went ahead with them, for
fear I should lose my chance for a shot.
By the time we reached the woods, I was
about 20 feet ahead of the company, and
before firing I cast a glance back. Capt
Moore stood on the left of the company,
a. little' In advance. That was my last
view 6f him. I turned around and fired.
After that all was business. I cannot
picture the scene. The rebels were about
three rods from our front, having the ad-
vantage of the trees. We were in the
opening—only two small regiments, op-
posed to an entire brigade. The bullets
fellabout me in piles, and yet I remained
unharmed. Capt. Moore, Sergeants—
Daucby and Barnum all fell together
here. Lt. Col. Fowler was also killed
at the same fire.
