Twas an hour of fearful issues
When the bold three hundred stood,
For their love of holy freedom,
By the old Thessalian flood j
"When lifting high each sword of flame
They called on every sacred name.
And swore, beside those dashing waves,
They never, never would be slaves!
And, Oh! that oath was nobly kept.
From morn to setting sua
Did desperation urge th fight
Which valor had brgun ;
Till, torrent like, the stream of blood
Ran dowu and mingled with the flood.
And all, from mountain cliff to wave,
Was Freedom's Valor's Glory's giave.
O, ye3 that oath was nobly kept,
Which nobly had been sworn,
And proudly did each gallant heart
The foeman'a fetters spurn ;
And firmly was the fight maintained,
And amply was the triumph gained;
They fought fair Liberty, for thee :
They fell to die is to he fb-je.

Origin of the Words Yeoman and Escnire.
The title of yeoman was orirrinallv cm a
level with esquire. The title is of military
origin, as that of esquire and other titles of
honor. Esquires were so called because in
combat they carried for defence and ecu or
shield; and yeomen, because, besides tho
weapons proper for a close encasement, thev
fought with arrows and the bow. which w
made of yew, a tree of more elasticity than
any other. The name bow seems to be deri
ved from yew, or yew from bow. as Walter
Dryden uses the eugh for bow in bis transla
tion of the "Eneid:"
" At the full strength of both h!s hands lie drew.
And almost joined the horns of the tough eugh."
A Beautiful Extract. When the sum
mer of youth is slowly wastiner away into tho
night of age, and the shadows of past years
grow deeper, as life wears on to its close, it is
pleasant to look throuch the visits of time
upon the sorrows and felicities of our earlier
years. If we have a home to shelter aud
hearts to rejoice us. and friends have been
gathered together around our firesides, then
the rough places of our wayfaring will havo
been worn and smoothed away in the twilight
of life, while the sunny spots we have past
through will grow brighter and more beauti
ful. Happy, indeed are those whose inter
course with the world has not changed the
holier feeling, or broken those musical chords
of the heart, whose vibrations are so melodi
ous, so tender aud touching,
of age.
