Song of the Independence Bell.
BY 0. C. DICKE lSON.
‘ 1 saw the old veteran that rang the signing
oi the Declaration, July Al-tb, 1776, standing
on its pedestal in Independence Hall,cracked
and tonguclcss. Yet in its verge—cast into
the metal—remained that blessed prophecy
of “ 17w Proclmnatz‘on”; its voice of 'com-
maud from God, " PROCLADI LIBERTY
THROUGHOUT TILE LAND, AND UN'I'o ALL THE
INHABITANTS THEREOF.”
Hung high in its home o‘er the old brick
hall,
America’s iron tongue ;
In many a pool thence rung.
When Concord-Jud Lexington gave tlieii
sons
To crimson the virgin sod,
Ere Bunker Hill heroeshad clubbed their
guns,
Old Bell, thou was’t sounding loud-—
For “Liberty! Liberty!
Right of humanity,
treugthening the patriot’s arm !
Victory! Victory!
Sires of Columbia,
Charge with an iron storm !"
Far over wide continents—out on the main,
Have echoed the deeds they wrought,
Great Wasliington,Lafayctte,l\Iarion,Waync,
Whose valor our liberty bought.
How noble men triumphed o’er niyrmidons
liircd,
Ye pages of history tell !
The soul of each warrior quickly was fired,
"When rang from thee, clarion bell,
Thy Liberty! Liberty! &c.
Dear relict of “times that so tried men’s
souls,”
Thou’rt riven and tonguelcss now,
But “ seventy-six" from those valor lit walls,
Smiles down on its own below;
Men love thee, old bell, for that text thou
(lid‘st ring, ‘
So faithfully, long and well,
The bells of all time and all earth shall sing,
Thy mighty refrain—dear bell,"
Of Liberty! Liberty! &c.
Already we think the grand choral’s begun;
Thy meaning at last’is ours;
“ Proclaim l” did’st thou ring?
messengers run,
Thy banners and armed powers;
“ To all the inhabitants,” souudeth its boom,
“Through all the wide land" proclaimed,
An order from God, and all tyranny’s doom,
The people’s decree forth flamed,
For Liberty! Liberty!
Right of humanity;
Lift. ye the down trodden form,
In Victory ! Victory !
Sons of Columbia,
Shout,as the. strongholds yc storm

Squandcrcl‘i Lives.
The fisherman wadcs in the surges ;
The sailor sails over the sea ;
The soldier steps bravely to battle ;
The woodman lays ax to the tree,
Lo! thy
They are each of the breed of the heroes,
The manhood attcmpered in strife;
Strong hands that go lightly to labor,
True hearts that take comfort in life.
In each is the seed to replenish
The world with the rigor it needs,—
- The centre of honest affections,
The impulse ofgenerous deeds.
But the shark drinks the blood of the fisher,
The sailor is drowned in the sea,
The soldier lies-cold by his cannon,
The woodman is crushed by his tree.
Each prodigal life that is wasted
oIn manly achievements unseen,
But lengthens the day of the coward,
And strengthens the crafty and mean.
The blood of the noblest is lavished,
That the selfish a profit may find ;
But God sees the lives that are squandered,
And ve to His wisdom are blind.
....,-_..-.
For the Flag.
Leaves fall, but, lo, the young buds peep!
Flowers dic,but still their secd shall bloom
From death the quick young life will leap,
When death shall come and touch the
tomb. ‘
The splendid sliivcr of bravo blood
Is thrilling through our country now ;
And she who fin old time withstood
The tyrant, lifts again her brow.
God’s precious charge we sternly keep
Unto the final victory;
With freedom, we will live, or sleep
With our great dead who made us free,
God forget us when we forget
To keep the old flag flying yet.

TEN THOUSAND PERSONS “ ACCIDENTAL-
I.v” BURNT ALIVE IN JAPAN—Ill A “gust
last, in Japan, not it building; with 2,000
beings in it, but a whole city of 170,000
souls, was suddenly burnt to ashes in a
few hours—a city of paper and bamboo,
covering many square miles, filled with
its women and children, the sick and the
infirm,the blind, the hull, and the maimed.
It burned like straw on many sides at
once, reddening the ocean for leagues
‘with its flames. It was fired without
warning by bombsliclls, and red-hot shot
rained incessantly during two days into
its midst. In that vast cooling-ration it
is mortally certain that not 2,000 only,
but at least live times, perhaps ten or
twenty times, 2,000 helpless creatures
must have perished. No brilliant pen
has painted for us the hideous incidents
of their last agouies and the horrors of
an infernal file, before which that of
Clillli buius but pale and feebly. That
death was dealt out to those innocent
beings in Japan by English sailors—pm.
posly, uuspniruuly, and boastfully—not
in war, not in necessity, not in self-pre-
servation, but in order to strike terror
into a harmless people whom we are bent
upon forcing into trade—Letter in Lon-
don Daily News.

The Miner’s Request.
The hour hand of Philip Acrc’s old
fashioned silver watch was pointing to
the figure eight—the snug red curtains
shut out the rain and darkness of the
March night, and the fire snapped and
crackled behind the red hot bar of the
little grate in a most cosy and comforta-
ble-sort ofa way, casting a rosy shine
into the thoughtful broWii eyes that were
tracing castles and coronets in the bur-
ning coals. '
ForPhilip Acre was, for once, indul-
ging himself in the dangerous fascination
ol‘a day—dream.
'If I were only rich!’ he pondered to
himself. ‘Ali, if.’ Then good bye to all
those musty old law books; good bye to
the mended boots and thrice turned coats
and all the wavs and means that turn a
man’s life into wretched bondage !
\Vouldn’t 1 revel in new books and de-
licious paintings and high stepping hor-
ses? Wouldn’tI buyza' set of jewels
for Edith—not pale- pearls or sicnly em-
eralds, but diamonds to blaze like links
of fire upoa her loyal throat ? Wouldn’t
I—what nonsense I’m talking though 3??
he cried suddenly rousing himself. ‘Phil
Acre, hold your confounded tongue ! I
did suppose you were a fellow of more
sense 1 Here you are neither rich nor
distinguished, but a simple law student
while Edith Wyllis is as far above your
moon struck aspirations as tue Queen of
night herself 1 She loves me though—
she will wait—and the time may one day
come! ‘
If only Dr. Wyllis were not so distrust-
ful of a fellow ! However, I must learn
to prove myself worthy of the sweetest
price that ever—Hallo ! come in there
whoever you are.’
It was only the serving maid of the es-
tablishment carrying a letter in the cor-
ner of her apron between her finger and
thumb.
‘Please, sir, the postman just left it,——
two cents to pay.’ '
‘Here are your two cappers, then, Ka-
ty——a pretty fair equivalent for any let-
ter I may receive.‘ Now, then, said he
as the door closed behind Katy’s substan-
tial back ‘let’s see what my unknown cor-
respondent has to say. A black seal, eh?
Not having. any relations to lose, I am
not alarmed at the prognostic!’
He broke the seal and glanced leisure-
ly over the short business like communi-
cation coutained within, with a face that
varied from incredulous surprise to and
don gladness.
‘Am I dreaming?’ he murmured to
himself as if to insure complete possession
of'his senses. ‘No, I’m wide awake and
in my right mind ; it is no delusion, no
But who
would ever suppbse that old Theron
Mortimer whom I haven’t seen since I
was a boy ofsixteen, and picked him out
of the river half dead between cramp and
fright, would die and leave me all his
money. Why, I'm not even the shadow
of a relation; but, then, I never heard
that the old man had kith or kin, so I
can’t imagine any harm in taking advan—
'tage of his odd freak! 'Ricli—am I
really to be rich? Ob, Edith l Edith 1’
He clasped both hands over his eyes,
sick and giddy with the thought that the
loved, far off star of his adoration would
be trought near to him at last by the
magnet of gold. All those years of
heartless waiting were to be bridged over
by the strange old miser’s bequest; he
might claim Edith now l
How full of heart sunshine were the
weeks that flitted over the head of the
accepted lover—brightened by I’Iditli’s
smiles—made beautiful by the soft radi—
ance of Edith’s love ! There was only
one alloying shadow—the most impercep-
tible touch of disgust and SUSplCIOll with
which stern Dr. Wyllis regarded his fu~
ture son-in-law l Ah ! he feared to trust
his only child to the keeping of any man
who had not been proved in the fiery fur-
nace of trial ! .
It was precisely a week before the
wedding, and the soft lights veiled by
shades of ground glass were just lighted
in Dr. VVylls’ drawing room, a here Edith
sat among her white roses and heliotropc,
working on a bit of cambric milling, and
singing to heretlf. She was a slender.
beautiful girl, with violet grey eyes,a blue
vciued forehead, and glossy abundant
curls of that kind old painters love to
portray.
‘ I wonder if Mortimer Place is so very
lovely,’ she said to a tilver-hnired lady
who sat opposite. ‘Philip is going to
take me there when we return 'from our
wedding tour, aunty ; he says it is the
sweetest spot a poet’s fancy could devise,
with fountains and shrubberies and green
delicious copses! Oh l shall we not be
happy there '2’
She started up with a bright, sudden
blush, for, even while the words were
trembling on her lip, Philip Acre came
into the room, his handsome face looking
a little troubled,yet cheerful withal. Mrs.
Wylis, with an arch nod at her neice,dis-
appeared into the perfumed perspective of
the conservatory, leaving the lovers to.
themselves.
‘ You are looking grave, Philip,’ said
Edith, as be bent over and kissed her
cheek. -
‘I am feeling so, darling. I have a
very unpleasant disclosure to make to-
night—our marriage must be postponed
indefinitely.’.
‘Philipl for what reason ‘2’
"To enable me to ltlbOl‘ diligently at
my profession to realize sufficient means
to support you, dearest, in a manner sat-
isfactory to your father’s expectations
and my own wishes.’
‘But, Philip I thought ’
‘You thought me heir to Theron Mor-
timer’s wealth ? So I was, Edith, a few
hours since, but I have relinquished all
claims to it now. When I accepted the
bequest, I was under the impress‘ionflthnt
no living heir existed... I learned today
that a. distant cousin, a. woman, is alive,
although my lawyer tells me, in ignorance
of her' relationship to Theron Mortimer.
Of course, I shall immediately transfer
all the property to' her.’ .
‘But, Philip the will has made itlegnl-
1y yours.’
‘Legally it is; could I reconcile it to
my ideas of truth and honor to avail my-
self of old Mortimer‘s fanciful freak, at
this woman’s expense, I might take the
boarded wealth, but I could never re-
spect myself again, could Idream of le-
gally defrauding the rightful heir. Nay,
dearest, I may lose name and wealth, but
I would rather die than suffer a. single
stain on my character as a christian gen-
tleman l’ .
,You have done right, Pliilip,’ said
Edith, with sparkling eyes. ‘We will
wait and hope on, happy in loving one
another more dearly than ever. But
who is she?’ what is her name?’
‘That’s just What I didn’t stop‘ to in-
quire. I will write again to my lawyer
and ask these questions and to direct
that a deed of conveyance be instantly
made cut, and then darling— ’
His lips quivered a moment, yet he
manfully completed the bitter sentence}
‘Thcu I will begin the battle of life
over again.’
And Edith’s loving eyes told him what
she thought of his noble self-abnegation—
a sweet testimonial!
'Hem!" said Dr. Wyllis, polishing his
eye-glass magisterially with a crimson silk
posket handkerchief; “I did’t suppose the
young fellow bad so much stamima about
him—an honorable thing to do. Edith, I
have never felt exactly certain about.

‘Papa l’

“This evening sir,’ faltered Edith, the
violet eyes softly dropping.
‘Tcll him Edith, that he may have you

——Aud as for the law practising—why
there’s time for that afterwards. Child,
don’t strangle me with your kisses keep
’em for Pliil.’
He looked after his daughter with eyes
that were strangely dim.
‘Tried and not found wanting !’ he
muttered distinctly. ,
The perfume of orange blossoms ha
died away, the glimmer of pearls and sat—
in were bidden in velvet caskets and
traveling trunks—and Mr. and Mrs,
Acre, old married people of full a. week’s
duration, were driving along the shores
of the Hudson in the amber glow of a
glorious sunset.
“Hallo; which way is Thomas going?”
said Philip leaning from the window, as
the carriage turned from the shore road.
‘I told him the road to take, Pliil.!
said Edith, with bright, sparkling eyes.
Let me have my own way just for once.
We are going to our new liome.’
‘Arc we ‘3’ said Phil. with a comical
grimace.
‘ Wait until you see sir,’ sad Mrs.
Acre, pursiug up her little rosebud of a.
month. And Philip waited dubiously.
“Where are we! be asked in astonish
ment when the carriage drove up in front
of a stately pillarcd portion, which seem.
ed not entirely unfamiliar to him. 'Sure-
ly this is Mortimer I’lacc.’
I shouldn’t be surprised if it was, said
Dr. Wyllis emerging from the doorway—9
‘Wulk in my boy—come Edith! Well,
how do you like the looks of your new
house?’
“Our new house? repeated Philip.
do not understand you, sir.’
‘Wliy, I- mean that your
yonder is the sole surviving relative of
Theron Mortimer, although she never
knew of it until this morning. Her
mother was old Mortimer’s cousin, but
some absurd quarrel had caused a total
cessation of intercourse between the two
branches of‘the family. I was aware of
the facts all along, but I wasn’t sorry to
avail myself of the opportunity of seeing
what kind of stuff you were made of.
Phil. Acre. And now as the deed of
conveyance isn’t made out yet, I don’t
suppose your lawyer will trouble himself
about it. The heiress won’t quarrel
with you, I’ll be bound.”
Philip Acre’s cheek flushed and then
grew pale with strong, hidden emotion,
as he looked at his fair wife, standing
beside him, the sunset turning her bright
hair to coils of shining gold, and thought
how unerringly the band of Providence
had straightened out the tangled web of
his destiny.

Correspondence of Gazette.
New Your, March 26th, 1864.
The Presidential Campaign of 1864
has now been fairly opened by both
Unionists and Democrats, and we shall
very soon be engaged in one of the great-
est politic! contests ever waged in the
United States. The Baltimore Conven-
tion, it is now evident, will re-nominate
President Lincoln, with Andrew John-
son of Tennessee, or General Banks of
Louisiana, as the candidate for the Vice-
Presidency. The democratic party is not
less anxious in favor of the nomination
of Gen. McClellan for the Presidency,
and of Thomas H. Seymour of your
State, or a democrat of similar peace
proclivities, for the Vice-Presidency,
That the Democratic party is very se-
riously divided on the War question ad-
mits of no doubt. The majority of the
party, and two-thirds of the journals pub-
lished in its interest, being utterly 0p—
posed to the war, it would seem that the
nominee for the Presidency would be a
Democrat whose views accorded with
their own. But a formidable minority
of the democracy is not disloynl—know-
ing that it is treason to oppose the con-
stituted authorities in the prosecution . of
the war, and acting upon that conviction
by supporting with their influence and
votes the election of men to ofiice whose
antecedents and position prove them to
be as loyal as themselves. It was, in a
measure, owing to this minority that the
elections of last year resulted in the hand
some Administration majority of,417,000.
In your own State, for instance, Gov.
Buckingham received the votes of uncon-
ditional loyal men of both democratic
and Union organizations. The renomi-
nation of Thomas H. Seymour was suffil
cient to impel loyal Democrats to with-
draw their support from the organiza-
tion with which they had previously af-
filiated
New Hampshire with her 5,700 ma—
jority, larger than she had given at any
State election, has set a glorious example
of patriotism and devotion to freedom
which Connecticut will do well to emu-
late. 0
Last year the contest in your State
was very exciting. The speeches of Col_
Seymour and Mr. Toucey were eagerly
published in the democratic papers, here
and elsewhere, coupled with editorial re-
marksto the effect that the success of
the peace ticket was certain! This year,
and especially since the receipt of the
“good news and true" from New Hamp-
shire, no such predictions are made. In
line, the coming election in Connecticut
is altogether ignored by ads-ave the
Union journals.
The friends of Gen. Fremont in this
State are zealous in his behalf, and
leave no means untried whereby they
can advance his claims to the considera-
tion of the Baltimore Convention. The
New Nation, a paper recently started
here in his interest, is particularly viu—
diclive towards many of the most cffi~
cient supporters of the Administration;
and it attacks with considerable bitter.
mess the policy of the President, the
Cabinet, and many others high in au—
thority. Such procedure on the part of
the friends of the General rather work
injury than benefit to his cause, and it is
to be hoped that another method of con-
cilizitlng public opinion .will hereafter be
resorted to.
I recently attended a meeting of an un-
conditional Union Cinb, for the purpose
of listening to an address by Mr. Grec-
ly Cf the Tribune on the condition of the
1
country, and this very much pleased with
his remarks. Mr Greeley is not-d cvc.
I'ywlierc for his pluiuuess and perspicuily
of his writings. As a political and sta'
listica! editor be has no equal. Relying
solely upon facts and figures to sustain
iis arguments, he is seldom, if ever, at
fault, and his conclusions, drawn from le-
gifiinate premises, are hard to refute.—
Uponv the occasion in question, Mr.
Greeley delivered a brief but, truly elo
qucut address, without interruption of
either applause or censure, but with that
rapt attention which in generally accord-
ed to popular speakers. At the conclu-
sion of his remarks, however, the entire
audience arose and gave him their thanks.
The extravagance now prevailing here
is beyond all estimation and has no pre-
cedent. Broadway is daily tlii'ouged with
fashionably dressed ladies and gentle—
men whose principal occupation seems to
be to rid themselves of their surplus
greenback currency for the most worth—
less and uiisubstauiinl of luxuries. The
Hotels are througed with Southern relu—
gees and rural visitors, and I have no
doubt but that the “floating population"
of the city is greater now than it has ev-
er heretofore been.
The “Metropolitan Fair,” which opens
on the fourth of April, will prove a mag-
nificent success, judging from the zeal
and interest manifested in the arrange-
ments now making for its advent. I
presume that thousands of the fair daugh-
ters inhabiting the Connecticut valley
Will grace the Fair with their presence.
The Brooklyn Fair was well attended
by New Englanders, both by residence
and birth. And in this connection I
would say that there. is scarcely a street
in the “City of Churches” which does
not contain one or more persons born in
the “land of steady-habits.” This is not
the case in New York.
The democracy are beginning to find
but that there are secret associations in
existcuci; styling themselves “ U. L. of
A ,‘l but. their numbers and efiicienc]
are not known. If this information. vb!
made public the friends of McClellan and
Seymour would give up at once all hope
of carrying the Presidential election.—
But let them repose in ignorance of the
fate in store for them I 1
jTo-day the weather. is storiny, end

are to be seen oni_Br0éd-Way,_ in pursuit
of either business or pleasure. The can

way today, be the recipient of passen-
gers without number, and its monogcrl

from the day’s receipts to tunnel the

I think that the quiet citizens of Nor-
walk can count with certainty upon the

scores of New Yorkers and Brooklynitel
seeking board for the summer. The ex-
pansion of the currency and its redun-
dancy among the wealthy and middling
classes will induce thousands who have
hitherto made a virtue of necessity and
remained in town during the sweltering
months of J one, July and August, to
seek a. cooler retreat elsewhere. And
where can a more fiscceptable location be

Coxrnssrou or A REPENTANT Nom-
ERN Secsssrouisr.——Mr. E. F. Loveridge
has written a letter to the Rochester (N.
1’.) Express, which coming from a. noto-
rious secessionist, has very peculiar value
as an exposition of the character of the
copperheads of the North. Mr. Lover-
idge has edited papers in the South and
in New York State, and has been well
known to be full of that feeling which
“fired the Southern heart.” So furious
was the secession flame within him that
immediately afteuSumter was first‘ at-
tacked tlie people of Troy rose in their
wrath and cleaned him and his journal
out. He there published the News.
He had to fly to Canada, and there
he gave the enemy all the aid his tongue
and pen could give them. Meanwhile
his secession friends in New York State,
who had urged him to his ruin, neglected
him, and poverty and sickness having
come upon him, Mr. Loveridge has writ-
ten as above specified to express his
ideas of Northern secessionists and of
their motives. The subject is treated af
ter due reflection, and his conclusions are
that the Democratic party are in fact,
responsible for the rebellion, and thlt
theynre a treacherous, nn‘patriotic, cold.
hearted class, upon whom no reliance can
be placed either by friends or opponents;
that the modern Democratic party as an
element South or North, is not only at.
war with the true interests of the sec-
tions, but with American civilization as
as an entity, and that if in the present
struggle the treacherous spirit that calls
itself Democracy is destroyed, and all the
precious'blood will not be spilled in vain.
