STIAKEOPEiIRE ODE
BY CHARLES SPRAGUE.
God of the glorious Lyre!
Whose notes of old on lofty Pindne rang,
White Jove's exulting choir
Caught the glad echoes and responsive sang,
Come! bless the service and the shrine
We consecrate to thee and thine.
Fierce from the frozen North,
When Havoc led his legions forth,
CP er Learning's sunny groves the dark destroyers
spread:
In dust the sacred statue slept,
Fair Science round her altars wept,
And Wisdom co wled his head.
At length, Olympian lord of morn,
The raven veil or night was torn,
When, through golden clouds descending,
Thou didst hold thy radiant flight,
O'er Nature's lovely pageant bending,
TM Avon roll' d, all sparkling, to thy sight)
There, on its bank, beneath the mulberry's shade,
Wrapp' d in young dreams, a wild-eyed minstrel
stray' d.
Lighting there, and lingering long,
Thou didst teaeh the bard his song;
Thy fingers strung his sleeping shell,
And round his brews a garland curl' d;
On his lips thy spirit fell,
And bade him wake and warm the world.
Then Shakespeare rose!
Across the trembling strings
His daring hand he flings,
And lo! anew creation glows!
There, clustering round, submissive to his will,
Fate's vassal train his high commands fulfil.
Madness, with his frightful scream,
Vengeance. leaning on his lance,
Avarice, with his blade and beam,
Hatred, blasting with a glance,
Remorse that weeps, and nage that roars,
And Jealousy that dotes, but dooms, and murders,
yet adores.
Mirth, his face with sunbeams lit,
Waking laughter's merry swell,
Arm in arm with fresh-eyed Wit,
That waves his tingling lash, while Folly shakes
his bell.
Despair, that haunts the gargling stream,
Kiss' d by the virgin moon's cold beam,
Where some lost maid wild chaplets wreathes,
And, swan-like, there her own dirge breathes,
Then, broken-hearted, sinks to rest,
Beneath the bubbling wave that shrouds her ma
niac breast.
Toting Love, with eye of tender gloom,
Now drooping o'er the hallow' d tomb
Where his plighted victims lie,—
Where they met, but met to die;
And now, when crimson buds are sleeping,
Through the dewy arbor peeping,
Where Beauty's child, the frowning world for
got,
To Youth's devoted tale is listening,
Rapture on her dark lash glistening,
While fairies leave their cowslip cells and guard
the happy spot.
Thus rise the phantom throng,
Obedient to their Master' a song,
And lead in willing chains the wondering soul
along.
For other worlds war's Great One sigh' d in
vain,
O'er other worlds see Shakespeare rove and
reign!
The rapt magician of his own wild lay,
Earth and her tribes his mystic wand obey.
Old Ocean trembles,Thunder cracks the skies,
Air teems with sapes, and tell-tale spectres
rise;
Night's paltering hags their fearful orgies keep,
And faithless Guilt unseals the lip of Sleep;
Time yields his trophies up, and Death restores
The moulder' d victims of his voiceless shores.
The fireside legend and the laded page,
The crime that cursed, the deed that bless' d an
age,
All, all come forth—the good to charm and
cheer,
To scourge bold Vice, and start the generous
tear;
With pictured Foll gazing fools to shame,
Amd guide young G l
ory's foot along the path of
fame.
Lo! hand in hand,
Hell's juggling sisters stand,
To greet their victim from the fight;
. Group' d•on the blasted heath,
They tempt him to the work or death,
Then melt in air, and mock his wondering sight
In midnight's hallow' d hour
He seeks the fatal tower,
Where the lone raven, perch' d on high,
Pours to the sullen gale
Her hoarse, prophetic wail,
.And croaks the dreadful moment nigh.
See, by the phantom dagger led,
Pale. guilty thing!
Slowly he steals, with anent tread,
And grasps his coward steel to smite his sleeping
king!
Hark! ' tis the signal bell,
Struck by that bold and unsex' d one
Whose milk is gall, whose heart is stone;
His ear bath caught the knell,—
'Tis done! ' tis done!
Behold him from the chamber rushing
Where his dead monarch's blood is gushing!
Look where he trembling stands,
Sad gazing there,
-Life' a smoking crimson on his hands,
And in his felon heart the worm of wild despair!
Mark the sceptred traitor slumbering!
There flit the slaves of conscience round',
With boding tongue foul murders numbering;
Sleep's leaden portals catch the sound.
in his dream of blood for mercy quaking,
At his own dull scream behold him waking!
Soon that dream to fate shall turn:
For him the living furies burn;
For him the vulture sits on yonder misty peak,
And chides the lagging night, and whets her hun
gry beak.
Hark! the trumpet's warning breath
'Echoes round the vale of death.
'Unhorsed, unhelm' d, disdaining shield,
The panting tyrant scours the field.
Vengeance! he meets thy dooming blade!
The scourge of earth, the scorn of Heaven,
He falls! unwept and unforgiven,
And all his guilty glories fade.
Like a crush' d reptile in the dust he lies,
And Hate's last lightning quivers from hie eyes!
Behold yon crewnless king,
Yon white-lock' d, weeping sire,
Where heaven s unpillar'd chambers ring,
And burst their streams of flood and fire!
He gave them all, —the daughters of his love;
That recreant pair! they drive him forth to rove,
In such a night of woe,
The cubless regent of the wood
Forgets to bathe her fangs in blood,
•
And caverns with her foe!
Yet one was ever kind;
Why lingers she behind?
Oh pity!—view him by her dead form kneeling,
Even in wild frenzy holy nature feeling.
His aching eyeballs strain
To see those curtain' d orbs unfold,
That beauteous bosoin heave again;
But all is dark and cold.
In agony the father shakes;
Grief's cooking note
Swells in his throat,
'Each wither' d heart-string tugs and breaks!
Round her pale neck his dying arms he wreathes,
And on her marble lips his last, his death-kiss
breathes.
Down, trembling wine—shall insect, weakness
keep
The sun defying eagle's sweep?
A mortal strike celestial strings,
And feebly echo what a seraph stngs?.
W ho now shall grace the glowing throne
Where, all tunivall'd, all alone,
Bold. Shakespeare sat, and look.' (II creation
through,
The minstrel monarch of the worlds he drew?
That throne is cold—that lyre in death unstrung
On whose proud note delighted Wonder hung.
Yet old Oblivion, as in wrath be sweeps,
One spot shall spare—the grave where Shakespeare
sleeps.
Rulers and ruled in common gloom may lie,
Bnt Nature's laureate bards shall never die.
Art's chisell' d boast and Glory's trophied shore
Must live in numbers, or can live no more.
While sculptured Jove some nameless waste may
claim,
Still rolls the Olympic car in Finder's fame;
Troy' s doubtful walls in ashes pass' d away,
Yet frown on Greece in Homer's deathless . lay;
Rome, slowly sinking in her crumbling lanes,
Stands all immortal in her Nero' s strains;
So, too, yon giant empress of the isles,
On whose bioad sway the suu forever smiles,
To Time's unsparing rage one day must bend,
And all her triumphs in her Shakespeare end!
O Thou! to whose creative power
We dedicate the festal hour,
While Grace and Gooiness round the altar
stand,
Learning's anointed train, and Beauty's rose
lipp' d b tud—
Realms y et unborn, in accents now unknown,
Thy song shall learn, and bless it for their own.
Deep in the West as Independence roves,
li is banners planting round the land he loves,
Where Nature sleeps in Eden's infantgrace,
In Time ' s full hear shall spring glorious race.
Thy name, thy verse, thy language, shall they
ber,
And deck for thee the vaulted temple there.

UNION AND NEBEL, GENERALS.-A' PLAY
UPON NAMES.
Celerity is considered a big thing in war. So
is promptness. We believe there is only one
General in the Southern army who always gets
up Early, albeit there was one, that resigned,
who was habitually Pryor in rising. Though
the rebel officers are rather noted for rapid
movements, there are two decided Polks among
them, and one ...who is continually Cumming,
yet does not come along.
But we have a Slocum ourselves, and though
we may have a-General Hunt after the rebels,
some of our dommanders, including the old
Hunter himself, occasionally fail to bag the
rascals, seeing which General Ketchum ought;to
resign,unless he can prose that he knows Howe.
By hanging on the enemy's rear, it seems to us,
that Gen. Hindman at least, ought to be caught.
This war has brought forward, more or less
conspicuously, several military names. There
are Pickett, of Virginia; Battle of Tennesse,
and Slaughter, of Alabama. on the rebel side.
Phifer would do to put in the band, and Field
isn't inappropriate for a scene of operations.
Steele is not so bad either, and we find Steele
common to armies. There is no use for Shields
in our modern -warfare, at any rate since the
Shenandoah Valley campaign of 1862, though
the rebels continue to employ Archers.
Mountainous as some parts - of the South are,
there are two Hills down there that seem to be
particularly hard to. get over, and a Breckin
ridge. Dense Forrests, heavy Woods, and dif
ficult Rhodes are occasionally to be seen
Boggs and Brooks diversify the prospect,though
it must be stated that the latter are not pro
duced by Rains of North Carolina, and of
course not by the Rains that fell at Stone
River. We don't know much about the rebel
Lane, but are advised that this is different from
the famous Long-street. How long that is we
are not apprised, though we have seen the
mention of Miles. In our army we have
no General Hills. We have a Meade, a
Parke, Woods, Brooks, and a Tower; the lat
ter, however, not remarkably tall.
There is no whiskey in the Southern army,
owing, we suppose, to the difficulty of procur
ing that article. There is, however, or lately
was, Kimmel, and whatever ale can be got out
of Adams. As to our own army, though we
keep a Butler, we don't indulge in anything
stronger than Meade. There is a Porter on the
list, though he is out at present. This refers
to the Andrew brand. Fitz-John (not Demi
john) Porter, the Administration swore off from
in Nov., 1862. What with the laws of Con
gress in regard to the abolition of sailor's grog,
and General Grant's temperance order in the
Army of the Potomac, we may perhaps look
for total abstinence some of these days. Geo.
Washington Morel' is one of our Brigadier-
Generals ; , we wish all Brigadier-Generals—and
Major-Generals, too, for that matter—were as
moral as George Washington.
As the rebels seem to have thrown the',Lees
of their society intolthe war, the mechanics and
tradespeople are not remarkably well repre
sented. There are two Coopers, a Gardener, 7 a
Leadbeater and a Taylor or two. The -rebels
have their Parsons and we have our Pope. Thb /
only workingmen represented among onr Gene
rals are the Potters and Taylors, always ex
cepting the Smiths, and the Confederates, by
the way, have them, too.
We don't see how the enemy can want food
as long as they have Hogg,3fouton and Greens.
On the other hand, if we should ever get out of
beef, we can fall back on our Viele. We hear
that General Pike, who resigned the Confede
rate service some time ago, is making overtures
for pardon. His case will probably be turned
over to Provost-Marshal-General Fry.
There ban been a great deal of talk about
National Banks, carried on through the Trea
sury Department. It will not, however, escape
notice that_ the War Department also has its
National Banks located in Louisiana and Texas.
If the Administration fails to put down, cut
to pieces, and bore out this infernal rebellion,
it will net be for want of tools. We have
Sickles, and we have Shears, nor must we
forget the old Barlow. We don't just now re
member much , that has been done by our
Augur, but we have had several that would not
bore. e might make some sharp remark about
Gen. Blunt, but panning disagrees with us.
The rebels have a General named Tremble.
He mist be a relative of our General Rickets.
They also have a General Withers ; we hope he
will be wrung. "Let the galled jade wince."
General Wise is a well-known confederate. We
can beat that : we have General Solomon
There is we believe,•only one General Cheat
ham in the enemy's forces by name, though a
large number in point of fact. We are afraid
there is more than one General Hooker in the
Federal ranks.
The confederates say they are fighting for
their homes. Until recently Holmes was light
ing for them, but none to hurt. Jeff. Davis has
just put a Price on Arkansas land, but we
reckon Red River will run redder yet if he stays
in that vicinity. They say the stream is com
ing up, but •it is Rank, and the•latest quotations
reported Steele going down.
They have a General in the South named
Corse. He had better go to Toombs..
The Secesh have buried two Garnets. The
Federals have a brilliant Stone yet above
ground.
To us it has always seemed singular that
Briggs and Wessels should not be in the Navy.
Well, let that pass. It is a matter for Welles.
The rebel army is bad off: for shoes. Part of
it was at one time Frost-bitten. Our army
might be able to get along without Schurz.
We have a Couch and the enemy a Pillow.
If they were together, we reckon the former
would be on - top.
Oh, pshaw ! This is all nonsense; let's quit.
—Missouri (St. Louis) Republican.
FACTS.
,The first American organ-builder was Edward
Broomfield, Jr.; the son of a rich merchant in
Boston. Ile evinced a genius foqr mechanics,
and made for his own amusement musical and
optical instruments of great power. He gradu
ated at Harvard College, in 1742, and died at
the age of twenty-three years.
The origin of the words ccOod save the
King„ is to be traced to the watch-word and
countersign given out in the Lord Admiral's or
ders on the 10th of August, 1542: as The watch
wurde in the night shall be thus, God save
King Elenyre the other shall answer And
long to reign over us.' "
On every business day in London, upwards
of 700,000 persons enter the city by tile:various
approaches, and leave it again in the evening
for their homes in the suburbs or in the coun
try. It-was ascertained by the officers of the
city police that an average of 535,000 proceed
on foot, and 171,000 in vehicles*.
THE LOYAL DEMONSTRATION IN BALTIMORE.-
A number of spirited Union men 6f East Balti
more, determined to show their detestation of
the traitorous speech of Benj. G. Harris, Re
presentative in Congress of the Fifth Congres
sional district of that State,last evening about 8
o'clock burned him in effigy. A man of straw,
with wearing apparel, giving one somewhat the
idea of Mr. Harris was placed in a barrel, near
the intersection ofßroadway with Bank street,
and fire being applied, was soon destroyed. A
placard bearing the inscription, "The traitor,
Benj. G. Harris, of Maryland," was conspicu
ously filisplayed on his breast, while another one
having on it "Representative of the Fifth Dis
trict," was secured around his hat. The cere
mony was witnessed by a large concourse of
persons, who manifested their pleasure at this
public expression of the disapproval of the sen
timents enunciated recently by Mr. Harris in
Congress.—Baltimere american of last evening:
