. Chimed out from ivied towers a bell;
•"Tlais is the church eotbuiit on sands,
Emblem of one not built with hands,
Its forms and sacred rights revere;
Come worship here ---conte worship
Here,
In ritual and faith excel,"
Chimed out the Episcopalian bell.
(2) "Oh,heed the anoientlandmarks, welt,"
In solemn tones esolaimed a bell ;
"No progress made by mortalmaa
Can change the just, eternal plan.
Do not evoke the a$enging rod ;
Come here and learn the way to God.
Say to the world farewell 1farewell 1''
Pealed out the Presbyterian bell.

In mellow tones rang out a bell,
Through faith a lone in Christ can save,
Man must be plunged beneath the

The colonel is a true Virgionia gentle-

He is a good comrade. `a lover of good

by the geirltrosity of his aunt Miss
Nancy .Cartek, who redeemed it with
almost all her avings, the house and
half the outlyii" lands being thereupon
deeded to iterf. The • other half was
retained by the 4louel..
