Recast the Old Bell.
BY MRS. EMILY B. HOWARD.
" Proclaim Liberty throughout the land to all the
inhabitants thereof 1 "
This inscription encircles the Old Bell, which an
nounced the signing of the Declaration of Indepen
dence, July 4th 1776. Not long afterwards, the bell
became cracked, and was taken down, but preserved
in Independence Hall, as a sacred moment() of that
glorious event.
Recast the "Old Bell!"
Let its echoes swell
Over the land, and over the sea;
In Jehovah's name,
Bid its voice proclaim
Throughout all the land a Liberty
Recast the " Old Bell I"
In Ounce, long
Hath its trumpet tongue
Been sadliniute, in the ancient hall.
Qik the, nation's ear,
_ That, would not hear
Ids ,prophet tones no longer Fall.
Recast the ",Old Bell t'
Give it voice again I
Send its loud acclaim
`tier the nuurrorr - vnertierbttb=s-464--
Thee shall Freedom hear,
Though laid on his bier.
Wounded and scarred, in his winding sheet
Recast,the " Old Bell I"
Unto,God they cry,
The souls.that lie
Under the altax, How long, How, long?
And sad wails rise,
From our sae - dice
Of :blood, 0 TAord, How Icing, Haw long ?
Blood for vengeanee cries!
Mercy shuts her eyes,
While people and rulers ignore Clod's plan.
From the tempest of wrath,
Safety find, in the , path
Of duty to God, and our brother man
Recast the' Old Bell . 1"
Oh l Chief in. power,
This is the hour;
Follow the star that to Bethlehem guides
For the , angel stands
With uplifted hands
By the golden tenser's o'erflowing tides!
Recast the '‘ Old Bell V'
Spare us, 0 God.
From the three-fold rod
The famine and Restilen,ce with the sword.
May our nation show
We have learned to know
Thou art the Lord Thou art the Lord-I

CAT INO TILE sqtanEL
3010 NY Ray had set a trap 111 thewood
land for squirrels.
The «woodland " waa a large lot, of many
acres of land, covered with beautiful trees,
most of which were walnut. The ,sqgirrels
loved that place. It was a home for a, great
many families of them. Johnny thought he
would like one of the sprightlylitilothings
for his 'own; and as; it .was in the spring,
when there were no. nuts .on the trees, and
when it might be supposed that the squirrels
had eaten up all, or nearly all, their winter's
store of provisions, he thought one of them
might be tempted by a nice, yellow ear of
corn, to go into his box-trap. He.set it
,in
the woodland one fine afternoon, and having
dropped a few of the bright grains of corn
about it for decoys," as he called - them, left
it there. A large rock stood not far, from
the place, and behind it' he could creep up
quietly, now and then, to see if his trap was
sprung.
Two days pasSed, but no squirrel was,
caught. On the third day, Johnny asked his
sister. Mond to go with him to look.at his
trap. They approached it very carefully,
keeping behind the rock, and then Johnny,
taking . off his cap, peeped cautiously through
a crevice. An exclamation of joy almost
escaped him ; but he checked it, and with a
motion of his hand hushed his sister and
beckoned her to come and look. A bushy
tailed little fellow was nibbling the scattered
Trains near the open mouth of the trap.
hey watched him almost breathlesay. He
finished eating the decoys; and lifting up his
head, looked around. They could see his
bright eyes. , He gave a hop or two toward
the trap, and again looked about hint. Then
he looked in ; then around again, seemingly
in doubt - whether it was safe to venture far
ther. But at last he walked into the,
nibbled at the ear of corn, the cover, fell, and
he was a prisoner I -
Now, before I tell you what became of him
afterwards, I wish to say that I have seen
more than one boy pr girl who-seemed to me
very much like that squirrel. When I see a
child beginning to be a little disobedient to
parents, because he thinks it pleasanter 'to
have his own way than to obey them; when
I hear a boy using words which, though not
the worst, perhaps, that mighebe spoken, are
such as he would feel unwilling his parents
should hear; 'when I learn that a girl does
or says things, when out of sight of her mother,
which would 'grieve that mother's heart, then
I think--that girl, that boy, •is picking up
the decoys which have been dropped by a be
ing very different from little Johnny Ray, for
he did not wish to harm the squirrel ; they
are picking up the shining grains which the
great trap-setter, who is the Evil One, hits
made to look' very inviting to the young and
thoughtless, and strewn, about the entrance to
a place where he hopes to make those deaf
children his prisoners ;forever.
The little squirrel could hardly be blamed,
for could not think, as you can, and the
corn was sweet to his taste. So the begin
nings of sin may be sweet to you, but you
ktinw to what they lead.
J,olinny took up his trap to carry it home.
He could hear the imprisoned squirrel
scratching and struggling- in his fright at
being shut up in that strange, dark place,
and before he reached home he began to feel
some misgivings about keeping that poor lit
. tle 'fellow there. "I almost, wish he was back
in the woodland," said Johnny to his sister
Maud.
" Well, so do I sorry that he should
be there in that box, when he has been so
happy all day long."
"I mean to let him go 1" said Johnny.
"Oh, that will be nice I" cried Maud.
"But do you think he could find the way
from here.?"
"I'm afraid not; but we can go back to
the woodland gate." And back again they
went. Johnny set the trap down on the
grass; then he lifted the cover a little way
and looked in. The squirrel put his wise to
the opening, and thrust Out one of his pretty,
slender paws, as if 'begging to .be Jet out.
Johnny opened' the trap wide. The sqUirrel
sprang out, and was •off in a twinkling, never
stopping to look back till he was safely up
in a walnut tree, and then he perched on one
of the branches, giving his tail a whisk, as-if
he would say, " I will never be caught so
again."
But the great trap-setter, of whom I have
told you, is not so willing to let precious
souls go out of his snare, when he has once
caught them. Look out, carefully and pray
erfully, for his decoys. He tries to make lit
tle sins appear quite harmless ; he makes
them very attractive, and. thus he tempts one
to go nearer and nearer destruction. Our Lord.
has taught us to pray, 44 Lead .us not into
temptation, but -deliver us from. evil." And
the voice of wisdom to every child is, "My
son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not."

A DOG ON THE BATTLE-FIELD.
A TRUE STORY.
LET me tell the children a story of a faith
ful dog whose head 1 have patted.
This dog belonged; to one of the compan
ies of the Bth Regiment Illinois Volunteers.
His early, puppyhood was spent at Bird's
Point, Missouri, where, at a very early age,
he becalm a great favorite: yith the regiment
—not on account of his beauty, for he is a
homely little fellow, but by:reason of the lov
ing a' kind - Vivo trion munifestad,--towa, •
all into whose society he was permitted to
come. -
When the (Bth) regiment, with other Union
forces, left Bird's Point'on their ,expeditiOn
up the. Tennessee,
this dog, " " for
that is his name, left with them. Wherever
the,regiment moved—in pitching or in strik
ing tents, on drill, or, in preparing nfeals, on
march or on board transports, from, one point
to another—Marshall was a constant attend
ant.
Marshall, after supper, would go the
rounds of each company, to see if everything
was right, and would then-come to; his mas
ter's tent and quietly lie down there for the
night.
During the earlier part of the. battle, at
the siege of Fort Donelson, he seemed very
much excited by what was passing .around
hith, and - Would run frotn one point to another,
apparently in the deepest an.xiety, as if to
inquire what all the noise tneant.
During the nights of Thursday and Friday,
when, the regiment slept on their arms, amid
rain, snow,' and ice, this little creature could
not sleep or be
,quiet, because those whom he
loved were suffering. His sympathetic na
ture seemed in perfect accord with the feel
ings which, during that stirring scene, filled
every human 'breast.
On Saturday , morning, when the, battle
was at its fiercest point--a time When grape,
and canister, shells, Millie balls, and " buck
shot filled the air with their sharp, quick,
hissing, whizzing, fearful sound, and .when
the ranks on both sides were, terribly cut
down, our little dog, either frightened by
some passing cannon-ball or by the bursting
of a stray, shell near by, took himself during
the day away from the scene: At very late
howewer, when the firing ceased Marshall
made his appearance, in great joy.
Going hastily the rounds of the regiment
to see if all was Well, he came back to his
master's tent very Uneasy, and Much troubled
about. something. Not finding any relief, in
his home-tent, round the regiment he again
ran, and returned as before, excited and in
trouble. But,. without any stay there, off he,
ran again, and this time to the battle-field.
There he walked around among the wounded,
dying, and , dead, to find the object of his
search.
Strangers, whether in other regiments or
in the ranks of the enemy, received to at
tention from the dog, intent upon finding the
objects of his search. •
In his faithful search for such among the
many wounded, and slain lying there, little
Marshall found the body of Capt. W. of. Com
pany I, wounded in the left side by the frag
ment uf bursting 'shell. It was a fearful
wound, rendering the captain completely
helpless—unable even to move a limb, though
not depriving him of life, or rendering him
insensible to his condition.
cap. W. noticed the approach of the dog,
just as the shades of evening were gathering
around him. He thought it a harbinger of
good—evidence of the coming of'some one to
remove him from that scene of agony and
suffering, where, by a sad oversight, he had
lain from! 10 A.M. until that time.
• But the dog only came to keep vigil 'With
him during that long, cold, fearful night.
Seeming to comprehend the sufferings of
one whom he loved, this sympathetic, faithful
little creature would caress the wounded 04-
tain in every. way he could—now lying' own
close by him, now roused up again by the
groans of the suffering soldier, -and then, in
a most affectionate manner, lapping his hand,
as if he would soothe and comfort him 'in
such an hour. In this way, and in giichla
battle-field vigil, our faithful dog passed - the
:night with the wounded captain. •
In the morning, when his master was re
moved to the hospital, (a service in which
the hand now • penning these "lines was per
mitted to engage,) and his wound was cared
for, the little watcher who had . been his only
companian,;duzing the past night, sought
again the iegitudnt, and reassumed his ac
•cdatomed qiiiet habits:.
Such is the fidelity, of a dog !—lndepen

A RABBIT IN A BATTLE.
An incident on the Battle-Pield of :Malvern
Bills.
A FULL• GRONVN rabbit had hid itself away
in the'copse of *a fence, which separated two
fieldenear the centre and most ekposed por
tion'Of 'the battle-ground. Rabbits are wont
to spend the day almost motionless, and in
seeming drpaming meditation. This one
could have had but little thought—if rabbits
think—When-choosing its place.of retreat at
early dawn; that ere it was eventide there
would be such an unwonted and =ruthless dis
turbance.
During all the preparations for battle made
around its lair throughout the forenoon, it
neverthless remained quiet. Early however,
in the afternoon, when the rage of battle\ had
fairly begun, aid shot and shell were falling
thick and r fast in all directions, a shell chanc=
ed to burst so near Mr. Rabbit's hiding-place,
that he evidently considered it unsafe to tar
ry longer. So, frightened almost to death,
out he Springs into the open field, and ran
hither, and thither with the vain hope of find
ing a safe retreat.—Whichever way it:ran,
cannons were thundering out their smoke and
fire, regiments of men . were advancing or
changing position, horses galloping here and
there, shells bursting, and solid shot tearing
up the ground ; . Soinetimes it would 'squat
down and lie perfectly still; when some new
and sudden danger would again start it into

motion. Once more it would stop and raise
itself as high as possible on its hind legs, and
look all round for some place of possible re
treat.
At length that part of the field seemed
open which lay in the direction opposite
from where the battle raged most fiercely.
Thither it accordingly ran with its all remain- .
ing speed. Unobserved by it, however, a
regiment was in that direction, held in re
serve, and like Wellington's at Waterloo,
was lying flat on the ground, in order to As
cape the flying bullets. Ere the rabbit
seemed aware it had jumped into the midst
of these men. It cotld go no further, but
presently nestled down beside a sold,ier, and
tried to hide itself under his arm. As the
man spread the skirts of his coat over the
trembling fugitive, in order to insure it of all
the protection in his power 'to bestow, be no
doubt feelingly remembered how much him

EXPLORATION 'OF AUSTRALIA IN 141.
ACCOMPANIED, by Mr. Brown and 'three
men, Qaptain Stuart started from Park
_De
pot, maintainirig course 25 degrees west of
north, or, in other words, bearing right down
on the centre 'of the continent. In ''a short
time, the country assumed all the - appearance
of a desert. Neither grass nor water:was any
,
longer and the eye rested on nothing,
to the brink of the horizon, but reddish
brown sand. Gradually, as they advanced,
this sand swelled into long parallel ridges,
running from east to west, and rising higher
and higher until at length our explorers
found theinselves toiling over a very ocean of
solid billows, some 50 or 60 feet high, and
,succeeding each nther in endless uniformity.
This formation bore no traces of the action
of water, and mist have' een the slow result
of a prevailing wind accumulating its solid
ivives in the gradnal mime of ages. At the
distance of about two hundred
.miles from
Park Depot, this singular country came to
an'abrupt termination, and our explorer stood
:before what is now known as Sturt's Steny
'Desert. The parallel sand ridges, running
from east to west, were suddenly chopped off
at right angles, and, in their stead, stretched
an immense level plaie, uninterrupted all
round the horizon frOln south to north, and
thickly strewn with small fragments of quartz,
firmly packed together,' and -rounded as if
water-worn. Still adhering to their course,
25 degrees west of north, our party descend
ed into this singular plain, and proceeded on
their way over its natural pavement, Nei
ther herb or shrub protruded through the
firmly-wedged .quartz fragments. No sound
or movement could be heard orneeia all round
them,, and the dray-wheels and hoofs` of the
horses left not "the least impression on the
sUrface of the plain. All - that could attract
or sustain animal and vegetable Afe Nature
seemed *to have rigidly excluded frem this
scene of desolation. Thus the sun rwent
down, and Captain Sturt and his men encamp
ed,for the night in the Stony Desert.
With the morning, our:party was again
under' weigh; and, at the distance of about
thirty` miles from its commenoement, the
Stony Desert was found to come-to an equal
ly abript termination. An immense plain
of clay, or dried mud, now lay before them,
entirely destitute, of vegetation, and resem
bling as Captain Sturt describes it, a bound
less ploughed field, att.'which 'floods had set
tled and. kpbsided.' 'N6 water, 'however could
be found; and the .earth, cracked by the heat
«of the sun, `"abounded in immense fissures,
which were avoided only by extreme watch
fulness and care. Still 'maintaining their ori
ginal course, our party [arrived at the ter
mination of this plain. ls.o*,',and found the ; tall
sand ridges re-appear' #eeisely.es they had
left them 'ken the eastern shore of the Stony
Desert. In fact the whole district, waled
merely interrupted by the course' of the
Stony Desert and Mud Plain from north to
south, and - again resumed its former -appear
ance without any disturbance Whatever.
Again our,eXplorers toiled over this < solid
ocean of red--billows—an ocean seen, as ft
were, under , the glare at some: great", confla
gration,* lashed into waves running moun
tains high, and then suddenly'frozen all round
from centre to horizon. From want 'of foo
and water, the horses were now almost • ex-,
hausted ; and the men, who could bring no
thing With,them from Park Depot but some
tea and i little flour, were scarcely ,better
able to encounter the difenities of this Most
harassing country.
At length a small creek appeared ahead,
and revived the hopes of the party. It re
ceived the name of the Eyre's Creek. It con
tained some good,water, and communicated
sufficient fertility to its neighbourhood to
furnish a meal for the horses. On following
it'down, however, it soon, died out on the de
, Sert;leaving,merely',, a few incrustations of
salt; .and leading to a country as destitute of
vegetation as that they had already traversed.
Resuming " their'' original course;, from ..the
slight deviation along Eyre's Creek, tlie par
ty again proceedeiton their way, and "pene
trated to lat. 25° 'so' without meeting any
further signs of vegetation, and only a creek
--whether a continuation of Eyre's'. Creek
was not ascertained—which afforded no relief
taint= or 'horse. Its channel was, glitte,r
ing white, and thickly encrusted with salt,
nor was any water visible,, but, on going
down to examine it, an several places; where
the salt had the appearance of broken 'and rot

of perfect brine underneath, on which the Salt,

from' ark Depot, and, *ith the exception ef
the head of Eyre's Creek, some fifty miles
behind, had nothing in the intermediate re

meeting inl
any indications of a permanent
change the nature o the' country, or any
encouragement whatew to proceed further.
Both men and horses were so weak that any
further advance would 4reatly endanger their
retreat on Eyre's Creek. Under these cir
cumstances, Captain 'ilturt decided to fall
back on Eyre's Creek, pad, by its assistance,
to regain the Depot. 10 reach the centre of

centre of the continent be found a desert,

Reluctantly the har es' heads were turn
