Sabatapango; Funera plan go; Solemnia clango. Inscription on an old bell. With deep affection And recollection, I often think ot Those Shandon Bells, Whose sounds so wild would, In days of childhood, ling round my cradle Their magic spells. On this I ponder Where'er I wander. And thus grow-fonder, Sweet Cork, of thee, With thy Bells of Shandon, That sound so grand on The pleasant waters Of the River Lee. I've heard bells chiming Full many a clime in, Tolling sublime in Cathedral shrine, While at a glib rate Brass tongues would vibrate; But all their music Spoke naught like thine, For memory, dwelling On each proud swelling Of thy belfry, knelling Its bold notes free. Made the Bells of Shandon Sound far more grand on The pleasant waters Of the River Lee. I've heard bells tolling Old Adrian's Mole In, Then- thunder rolling From the Vatican, And cymbals glorious Swinging uproarious In the gorgeous turrets Of Notre Dame. But thy sounds were sweeter Than the dome of Peter Flung on the Tiber, Pealing solemnly. O, the Bells of Snandon Sound far more grand on The pleasant waters Of the River Lee! There's a bell in Moscow; Willie on tower and kiosko ' In Saint Sophia The Turkman gets, And loud in air Calls men to prayer From the tapering summit Of tall minarets. Such empty phantom 1 freely grant them; But there's an anthem More dear to me; 'Tls the Bells of Shandon, That sound so grand on The pleasant waters Of the River Lee. OlISEItVATlOIVS.

Where they came from I cannot tell, but they had Manual of Calhoun's Disquisition on Government. CHAPTER XVI. : The Government of Great Britain as Illustrating the Concurrent Princi ple The government of Great Britain fur nishes another instance of a govern ment constructed on: the concurrent principle. It is a constitutional gov ernment, the product of .fortuitous cir cumstances. Alter the .Norman con quest, England was virtually divided between the monarch and the nobles. The student of English history knows well the contacts which ensued be tween the king and the barons. . In the course of time both parties began to court the favor of the people. In this way the third element, tne popular one, grew stronger ana stronger, xnere grew to be three estates. The popular estate m the course oi time overpower ed the other estates, war followed, the king was beheaded, and Cromwell es tablished a military uespotism. tjrom well's son being too feeble to hold the sceptre which his father had wielded, the restoration ensued without denning the limits between the powers of the respective estates. Hence another rev olution ensued, in which the lords and commons united against tne King, inis ended in the overthrow of the king, and William was made king with a declara tion defining the powers or the several estates of the realm. Thus a feudal monarchy was converted into a highly refined constitutional monarchy. As it now stands the realm consists of three estates the king, the lords temporal and spiritual, and the commons. The parliament is the grand council, out tne laws it enacts are subject to the ap proval of the kme. The executive pow er is vested in the monarch wno.mougn irresponsible himself, can only act through responsible ministers. The House or .Lords have certain great pow ers: the House or commons nave aiso large powers. The acts of the govern ment are really the concurrent and joint action of the three estates, and thus the concurrent principle is carried out. or the government to act nar- moniously, the different estates must be more or less in accord. The king represents the tax-consuming interests of the country. Between the tax-con suming and the tax-paying interests, which the House of Commons repre sents, there is a constant tendency to conflict, which, if not counteracted, would end in an appeal to arms. But the House of Lords, as one of the es tates of the realm, is interposed. Stand ing midway between the king and the people, it constitutes the conservative power of the covernment. From its character and constitution it is well-fit ted to preserve the equilibrium between the executive and the people. J. P. T CHAPTER XVII. The Governments of Rome and Great Britain Contrasted in Connection toith the Concurrent Principle. Thus we see that the constitutional crovernments of Home and Great Brit ain conformed to Calhoun's principles as well in their origin as in their con struction. Both originated in a press ure brought about bv conflicts of inter ests between classes or orders. Both rest on the same principle, viz : an or ganism bv which the voice or each or der or class is taken through its organ, and which requires the concurring voice of all to constitute the voice of the whole community. The effects too were the same in both to unite the country, to stimulate patriotism, to de velop power, moral and physical in fine, to give good government In the government of Great Britain the con current principle was carried out more accurately, because there were three es tates, while in ltome there were only two. It may be said the ltoman gov ernment developed more fully the love ot country and the feeling ot national! ly. "I am a lioman citizen, was a proud boast in the best days of Rome. lome developed more fully the power of the community more power of will. But the British government is tar su perior to that of Rome in its capacity to embrace under its control extensive do minions without danger of subverting its constitution. The weakness of the ioman government was its incapacity to do this. It fell to pieces when its territorial extent grew large. The Brit ish government holds under its sway an immense territory without any ten dency to -dissolution. This great ad- van tage is due to the peculiar structure of its executive power, and the charac ter of its conservative principle. Rome fell because the government could not maintain itselt over its unusual territo rial extent. The government of Great Britain thus far loses no strength, as it reaches out to grasp distant dominions. The longer the arm of Rome grew, the less muscular it became until at length it grew nerveless. The arm of Great Britain seems to grow even stronger as it develops in length to grasp the vast round of its imperial possessions the head of the government supplying all the nervous energy necessary to supply with strength the augmented urno. An other reason in addition to those Cal houn gives why Great Britain has de veloped more strength or rule tnan Rome, is doubtless' due, not only to the superior morale that comes from the in fluence of Christianity, but to the supe rior agencies of xhe day, which ltome knew not, such as the printing press ; the telegraph; the eleotric cable; the steamboat; the railroad; and all those other modern appliances which have tended to level mountains, fill up val leys and annihilate time and distance. Nor can it be denied that another rea son ior Bruisu superiority is to oe found in the sturdier elements of char acter that the Briton possesses over the Roman. Both eminently practical in their tastes and robust in their senti ments both of the conquering Aryan race, the Briton belonged to that hardi er stock that occupied Northern and Central Europe, and who amid the in fluence of ice ivnd snow grew stronger than they of the same race who occu pied the plains of Italy and basked in her sunny climate. Hence, in conclusion, no wonder that in contrasting the government of Rome and that of Great Britain we find, in a word, that while Rome developed more power of will and natural pride, Great Britain exhibits in her government, that yet stands, like a strong oak of the forest, more vitality and expansive force. :; J.T.T.
