und between his feet, but did not harm him and he returned safely over the fireswept plain. The water is cold enough, boys, he shouted, but its devilish hot around the spring. The gallant deed and the merry jest drew cheers from those who, with bated breath, had watched the journey. Lieut. Brown, bareheaded, again called out: For God's sake, Colonel, let me have twelve men to work my gun. The men heard it and looked into each other's eyes. Can I? Snellen, the sailor soldier from Marblehead,—struck already by one spent ball,—limped to the front. I'm one boys! Who's the next? he said. Then Capt. Mahoney and Sergeant Billy McGinnis, of Co. K, Sergeants Cornelius Linnehan and Matthias Bixby, of Co. F, and twenty more immediately responded, and did excellent service. They replaced the broken wheels, brought ammunition from the limbers, and fired the guns. Lieut. Shackley had been lying by the side of Sergt. Benjamin H. Jellison, who bore the colors. Come, Jellison, let's g

The new United States Navy is practically fitted out with Blake pumps, a partial list including the following vessels: Columbia, New York, Iowa, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Newark, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Massachusetts, Indiana, Maine, Puritan, Miantonomoh, Monadnock, Terror, Amphitrite, Katahdin, Detroit, Montgomery, Marblehead, Yorktown, Dolphin, Machias, Castine, Petrel, Vesuvius, and many others. Briefly, the thousands of patterns cover pumps for handling any fluid or semi-fluid or liquor, whether acid or alkali, under all conditions, from the lightest pressure up to twenty-five thousand pounds per square inch; and similarly any gas or vapor under vacuum or various degrees of compression,—all these machines being driven directly by steam, air, or water pressure, or indirectly by steam or gas engines, electr

of the Merchants' Bank. Let him discuss them over the bursting ledgers of Milk Street,--that is the place for dollar talks. But there is no room for dollars in Faneuil Hall. The idea of liberty is the great fundamental principle of this spot,--that a man is worth more than a bank-vault. [Loud cheers.] I know Mr. Webster has, on various occasions, intimated that this is not statesmanship in the United States; that the cotton-mills of Lowell, the schooners of Cape Cod, the coasters of Marblehead, the coal and iron mines of Pennsylvania, and the business of Wall Street are the great interests which this government is framed to protect. He intimated, all through the recent discussion, that property is the great element this government is to stand by and protect,--the test by which its success is to be appreciated. Perhaps it is so; perhaps it is so; and if the making of money, if ten per cent a year, if the placing of one dollar on the top of another, be the highest effort of huma

er's ballads, nevertheless, are comparatively unburdened with didacticism. Among these may be mentioned Pentucket, with its memories of old-time Indian raids along the Merrimac; Cassandra Southwick, a tale of the Quaker persecutions; The Angels of Buena Vista, an echo from the battle-fields of the Mexican War; The Garrison of Cape Ann, which tells how the New Englander of old vanquished the powers of darkness; Skipper Ireson's Ride, a spirited song of the vengeance wrought by the women of Marblehead upon a sea-captain thought to have abandoned the crew of a sinking ship; Mabel Martin, an idyl of the days of witchcraft, and Amy Wentworth, a dainty romance of the old colonial time. Upon these ballads, and many others, New England childhood has been nurtured for a century, gaining from them its special sense of a heritage of no mean spiritual content, rich also in picturesque associations and romantic memories. The high-water mark of Whittier's artistic achievement was undoubtedly re

and the character of Sancho, Esq. Remaining at Billerica but a short time, he obtained, through the influence of Rev. Dr. Freeman and Colonel Samuel Swan, of Dorchester, a place as assistant in the private school of Rev. Henry Ware at Hingham, on a salary of £ 150, with special reference to the instruction of two lads, one of whom was John Codman, afterwards the pastor of the second church in Dorchester. An intimate friendship had grown up in college between Sumner and Joseph Story, of Marblehead, who was two years his junior in the course. A correspondence ensued. Their letters are playful, and hopeful of the future. Sumner's letters refer to books and poems he had read, as Hogarth Moralized, Roberts' Epistle to a Young Gentleman on leaving Eton School, Masson's Elegy to a Young Nobleman leaving the University, Pope's Eloisa to Abelard, Goldsmith's Edwin and Angelina, Shenstone's Pastoral Ballad, and some pieces in Enfield's Speaker.

aightway authorized to slay him in cold blood. The Pequots were first defeated and then exterminated, and their heroic King Philip, a patriot according to his own standard, was hunted like a wild beast, his body quartered and set on poles, his head exposed as a trophy for twenty years on a gibbet in Plymouth, and one of his hands sent to Boston: then the ministers returned thanks, and one said that they had prayed the bullet into Philip's heart. Nay, it seems that in 1677, on a Sunday in Marblehead, the women, as they came out of the meetinghouse, fell upon two Indians, that had been brought in as captives, and in a tumultuous way very barbarously murdered them, in revenge for the death of some fishermen: a moral application which throws a singular light on the style of gospel prevailing inside the meetinghouse that day. But it is good to know, on the other side, that, when the Commissioners of the United Colonies had declared an Indian war, and the Massachusetts Colony had afterwar
