CREEDS OF THE BELLS.
AS a>rtD 11i MRS. SCOTT SrnvoN6.
The poem was written by Ms. G. W. Bang
yay. The liotes as to how it should bo read
itre by Mr. Itiohard Lewis, authorof "the "Do-
minion. Elocutionist."
Flow sweet ilia chime of the Sabbath belts !
Each ono its creed in music tolls,
In tones that float upon the air,
As soft as song, as pure as prayer;
And I will put iu simple rhyme
The language of the golden rhyme,
My happy heart with rapture swells
Responsive to the bolls—sweet bells..
(1) "In deeds of love oxeel—excel,"
Chimed out from ivied tower a bell ;
"This is the church not built on sands,
Emblem of one not bnilt with hands ,
It's forms and sacred rights revere,
Come worship here, come worship here,
In ritual and faith excel,"
Chimed out the Episcopalian bell.
(2)"Oh heed the aunient landmarks well"
In solemn tones exclaimed a boli;
"No progress made by mortal man
Can change the just, eternal plata
Don't invoke the ave(iging rocl;
Como here and learn the way to God.
Say to the world fareudil1 farewell 1"
Pealed out the Presbyterian bell.
(3)"Oh, swell, ye cleansing waters, swell,"
Iu mellaw tones rang out a bell.
Though faith alone in Christ eau save ;
Mau must be plunged beneath the wave
To show the wotld'sunfaltering faith
In what the sacred scripture smith,
(4)0h, swell, ye rising waters, swell,"
Pealed out the clear -toned Baptist bell.
(5)"Not faith alone, but works as well,
Must test the soul," said a soft bell,
"C'me here and cast aside your load,
And work your way along the road,
With faith in God, and faith in man,
Aud hone in Christ, where hope began ;
Do well—;10 well—do well—do well,"
Pealed forth the Unitarian bell.
(G)"In after life there is no hell,"
In rapture rang a cheerful bell :
"Look up to Heaven this holy day.
Where angels wait to lead the way.
There are no fires, no fiends to blight
1:The future life ; be just and right.
No hell—n., hell—no hell—no hell,"
Rang out the Universalist bell.
(7)"To all the 1 rnth we tell—we tell,"
Shouter.( in ecstatics a bell ;
"Como, all ye weary waucl'rers, see
Our lord has made salvation free.
Repent 1 believe 1 have faith ! and thou
Be saved and praise the lord. Amen.
Salvation's free we tell—we tell,"
Shouted the Methodistic bell.
(1) This liue is to be snug like a ohinho of bolls
The second line is only read, but the sue
ceoriing five lines to "excel" shoal(' again be
chimed, varying the chimes on each two
line. If the reader cannot sing the chimes,
the lines may be read in a pure high tone.
(2j Read in imitation of the tolling of a bel
deep and slo.v. Dwell ou the Italic word
like a pealing bell.
(3) Bead like No. 2, but higher pitch.
(4)Rise higher on this line and chant "swell'"
(5) Same as No. 3, but softer tone. Swell with
greater power on "do well," &o., giving a
chanting lone to "swell."
(a) Lend and clear tone of bell ; chanting "No
hell" &e., in a high, triumphant tone.
(7) Chant loud and clear. Rise higher on
"come all," &c. Chant loud and rapid "re-
pent" &, The last line is to be read.
RINGING FOR T11I 1VA1'1i.lt-Iia .
THE VAGARIES OF ASMUGGLER.
The unusual attention directed to
smuggling by the introdtiction of the
new tariff rea.aile to mind an incident
that occurred here nattily years ago;
which (mused muoll merriment at the
time, Not many miles from Windsor
there lived a valiant knight of the last,
who, as was usual with his trade at
that time, procured his supplies of lea-
ther in .Detroit, and as the duty on that
article was in those days rather heavy,
he was tempted in- a good many cases
to evade the payment on his purchases,
13esidtas being a suocebsfnl smuggler
and e, skilful shoemaker,' uiir hero was
a good judge of whiskey as any to be
found in the country, and his habit
was, after a euecassful smuggling ex•
ploit, to have;a celebration of his clever-
t:ess over the steaming bowl of the
"erecter," On one occasion he was hi
want of some calf akin to fill his orders,
and as usual crossed the river to pro-
cure it, Once in his possession, he
wrapped it round his body next to his
,skin,ar-d recrossing the river, thus sne-
oessfuly passed the inspectors of im-
ports. When this was aceomplished he
betook ]hmself to his stopping plaee,and
there imbibed w larger quantity than
usual of his favorite beverage, so that
he was ere long oblivious to everything
that was around him. When partial
consciousness returned, ho bad forgot-
ten what he had done with Lis leather,
and for a long time searcho lin vain for
it. Every place ho had before been
was visited, even the custom honse,but
no tidings could be procured of the mis-
sing embryo bout tops, and lie had giv-
en up his search 1u dispair, when the
dinner hour arrived. Ou sitting down
at the table, however, he experienced
great difficulty in reaching the seat of
his chair, and it suddenly (lashed on
his recallection where he had secreted
leis recant purchase. So delighted was
he at his discovery that he clapped his
hands with glee, and exclaimed to the
astonishment of the other guests, "My
calf skin ! My calf skin ! I have found
my calf skin !" FIe was afterwards
known as "The Recovered Calf Skin,"

HOW A DYING iMAN FEELS.
Captain Schwensen, who'was tender-
ed a reception in New York Monday
in honor of his heroic conduct at th
sinking of the Pommerauia, talc] this
experience :—
"1 had already in my own mind made
up my account. I found the doctor ly-
ing on a bench on the quarter deck,and
shaking him, found that he was dead—
peruaps from excitement and apoplexy.
Then I stumbled upon the second of-
ficer. ']?'okkes,' I cried, 'why aro yon
here and not at your boat ? "Cap-
s talo,' he answered, 'oily boat is in good
command ; the carpeuter's boat was
stove in, so I put him in Whine, and I
didn't want to leave my old captain.'
At that moment the ship lurched ; we
were standing in water; the bow pitched
down ; we said good bye to one an-
other. Aud a final blue light aft,show-
ing that Zarnaw was faithful to the
death, was the last thing I saw as the
water closed over me.
"Yo you want to know how a man
feels when he is being drowned ?" asked
the captain. I had a feeling that some
awful sea or maelstrom was swallowing
me down, Then came tho sensation of
being forced through the water as if I
had been discharged from a eailnon,aud
when I could hold my breath no longer
I opened my mouth.and found I was at
the surface with floating things about
neo. I found a board :ix. feet long, and
counted the five boats iu the distance,
and I could see them because they were
painted white. For an hour the tide
carried me rapidly towards tihe German
ocean. '.hent saw the light of asteam-
er coming directly toward me, but a:
most at the same time I was taken with
cramps in my lege, and thouht for
a soond time that I lutist surely die.
Yet the steamer came nearer. I shout-
ed, saw the steamer stop, saw a light
go down the side, and heard the dip of
oars, and the boatswain saying, 'Don't
strike the man on the head.' Then a
hand grasped me and I fainted. The
next thing I remember was seeing a
ball of light before me, surrounded by
a dark rainbow, which kept growing
brighter. '1'hen a prickly feeling, bo -
ginning at my feet, went up my whole
b )dy. my eyes openod,and I'fouud my-
aelf looking At a lamp burning on the
City of Ambterdam,• which carried me
auto Rotterdam, where I lay sick for
three days..

A. good story is told of a verdant one
who was a passer ger in a railroad ex-
press train, and became thirsty :
"Wacre's that 'ere boy with the wa-
ter can ?" he inquired of his next neigh-
bor.
"He late gone forward to the baggage
car, I suppose," was the reply.
"Wal, d'ye e'pose I kin get him back
here again ?"
"Certainly," said the other, "yon
have only to ring for him," aid he nod-
ded toward the bell -line that ran above
their heads.
No sooner said than done. Before.
any one could prevent it, Rustic had
seized tiro line and gave it a tremen-
dous tug.
Thoconsequence was at once obvion ;
three shrill whistles were heard, half a
dozen brakesinen ran to their posts,
and the train came to a standstill with
a suddenness that startled half the pas-
sengers with astonishment, and caused
every man near a window to hoist it
and look out and :see what was the
matter.
Io a few minutes the conductor red
and excited, came foaming into, the car
to know who palled that line.'
"Isere, mister this way ; I'm the
man," shouted the offender, drawing
all eves upon him.
"You 1" said the conductor. "What
did you do it for ?"
"Cos I wanted some water."
YWanted some water ?"
"Sartin ; 1 wanted the water boy,and'
my pardner here in the seat said I'd
better ring for him as they du at the
hotel, an' so I yanked the total; Will,
he be along soon ? an' by-and-by, wtlat
'in thunder be yon stoppin' for?''
The shout of laughter that .greeted
this honest confession was too much
for the conductor and be had to wait
until he got his train under way before

flour and common salt, in equal pla=ts,
bound on with cloth. If the bleeding
be profuse. use a large quantity, say
from one to three pints. It may bo

sary. The person who gave us tine
