Ye belfrey’cl blacksmitlia-in tlie air
Smite your sweet auvils good and strong!
Ye lions in j'our lofty lair,
Roar out from tower to ton er, along,
The wrinkled coast and scalloped seas,
Till winter meets the orange breeze
From bridal lands that always wear
The orange-blossoms round their hair.
Centennial Bells, ring on!
Pour out ye goblets, for and near.
Your grand melodious iron flood,
'fill pine and palm shall think they hear
The axes smite the stately tvood,
Xor dream tlie measwed cadence meant
The clock-tick of tlie continent!
Tiie foot-fall of a world that nears
The fi'.dd-day of a hundred years.
Centennial Bells, ring on!
Ye blo.ssoms of the furnace fires.
Ye iron tulips rock and swing,
The People’s Primal Age expires,
A himdred year.' the reigning king,
iktriko one, ye liammers overliead,
Ye rusty tongues, ring off the red.
Ring up the Cencoi-d druiute J/eii,
Ring out old Putnams’ wolf again.
Centennial Bells, ling on!
'W’here prairies hold their flowery breath
Like statues in the marble ledge.—
\Vh-re mountains set tlieir glittering teeth
Throiigli wide horizon’s rugged edge,
Ami hold the woi'd with granite grip
As steady as a marble lip,
.k.ul here, and tliere and every when',
dVitli ihytlimic thunder strike the air.
Centennial Bells, ring on!
Ring down the curtain on To-day
.\nd give the past the right of way,
Till fields oflrattle red witli rust,
Sliine through tlie ashes and tlie dust
Across tlie Age, and burn as plain
As glowing mars through ivindow-paue.
JIow grandly loom like grenadiers
Tliese lieroes of a luindred years!
Centennial Bells, ring on.'
Ring fordlie blue-eyed errand boy
fl’liat quavered up tlie belfry riair,
“Tliey’ve signed it! Signed it!” and the joy
Rolled forth as rolls the Delaware.
'.riie old man started from a dream.
His white hair blew, a silver stream,
Above ills head ihe bell unswung
Dumb as a raorning-glory liiuig;
'I'lie time liad come awaited long,
His w rinkled liand grew young and strong,
He grasped the rope as men tliat drown
Clutcli at tlie lif ■line drifiiug down,
The iron dome as wildly flung
As if Alaskas’ winds had rung.
Strange that tlie founder never knew'.
When from the molten glow' he drew
'f hat bell, lie liid beiieatli its rim
An autliein and a birthday liyuiii.
So rasiily rung so madly tossi'd.
Its old melodious voiume lost,
It till' lied liorizon, rent and cleft,
Of sweet vibration all bereft.
And yet, to hear that tocsin lireak
The silence of a hundred years,
Its rude discordant mnrnuns shake
.■\iicl rally out the .soul in cheers
"Would set me longing to be rid
Of sweeter vo'ces, and to bill
Centennial Bells, be dumb.'
Altliongli no mighty d/usrovitc.
Yo iron welkin rudely hurled.
That heil of lalierty and Right
"Was heard around the B.ibel world!
Land of Ihe green and golden robe!
A three hours jotii'..ey for f:;e Sim
'Two oceans kiss tiieo round tlie globe,
Lpthe steep w orld tliy rivers run
From geologic ice to .lune.
A hundred years frmu night to noon!
In blossom still, like Aaron’s rod!
The clocks are on the stroke of one,
One land, one tongue, one Flag, one God!
Cciiteiir.ial Bells, ring on!
Seribnn^s Honlhlu.
A Iridal party in Ttrre Haute. Iiid.,
imbibed so much beer, the other day, that
two men were needed to support the
blushing bride as they walked to the rail^
way depot.
Mrs. Carr, of Quebec, hanged herself
with her false hair last w'eek. The Coro
ner’s verdict was that the Carr was de ■
molished by a misplaced “switch,”
A gentleman who has recently visited
Japan, thus amusingly describes a visit
of himself and companion to a Japanese
bakery :
We stepped in to make a purchase of
cake. The oven was a bed of burning
charcoal, on which the baker laid a thin
sheet of iron when his loaves were ready,
over which he placed a large hollow cov
er. The cakes looked nice and tasted
sweet, but left a kind of smart in the
mouth which was disagreeable. Yacca,
our Japanese servant, said that we w'ere
near our stopping place for the night,
and it was useless to stop for eating. The
baker wished to know if we would stay
and mahequi, or something that sounded
like that.
What was mahequi*'
Yacca explained that to mahequi was
to eat hot cakes, fresh roasted from the
coals.
Yes, w'e wo’uld mahequi. Whereupon
the baker took a handful of rice flour in
his hands, dipped the whole, (hands and
all) into a pot of something that looked
like stagnant soap grease, and then work
ed it through his fingers until he had a
soft, sticky dough.
He then scraped all the dough that he
could easily remove Irom his hands, and
seizing the poker that lay on the floor,
stirred up the coal, exchanging some of
the dough off his hands for the black of
the poker.
He then seized a bladder-like bellows,
and blew away until he had a fine bed of
coals. All the while his hands had been
accumulating dirt. But, regardless of
that important fact, be thrust hi.s hands
again into the dough, and worked all the
black off and some new on. His hair
became disarranged, and he stuck it in
place with a wad of dough and then
went on kneading again.
At last, when he had slapped the
young ones, sold cake-s, greased his hands
and dropped several half-made cakes on
them (which in that case were always
worked into a whole batch again) he was
ready to put the cakes on the coals.
Just then Lem thought that perhaps
Hiwoko might be waiting for us, to which
we readily assented, and then we were
abo'ut to leave.
“What! Couldn't we stay to mahe-
quii' It would be extra nice.”
Lem was sick and liad the headache;
no appetite; we would call again, etc.;
I was in a hurry; Hiwoka would be
waiting, etc.
“But we would pay for the ‘mahequi,’
wouldn’t we ?”
“Well, yes, we would do that; we had
put him to some trouble and we would
pay,”
And we did ; but neither then nor
thereafter did either of us eat ‘mahequi.’
The baker was pleased to get his 'tempos,’
and keep his dough, too, and if he sees
the joke, will doubtless work in more
soap grease tor the next European who
may happen that way.
“When mother says ?jo there's no yei
in it.” , Here is a sermon in a nutshell.
Multitudes of parents say “no,” but after
a good deal of teasing and debate it fin
ally becomes yes. Love and kind
ness are e.ssential elements in the man
agement o.fc>iildren, but firmne.ss, decis
ion, infle.xibility and uniformity of treat
ment, are no less important.
