es from this poem, but
somewhat disguised as he recalled them. It is never safe to
quote poetry without referring to the original.

[Hark! The sweet bells renew their welcome sound.]
The churches referred to in the lines which follow are,--
1. King's Chapel, the foundation of which was laid by Governor Shirley
in 1749.
2. Brattle Street Church, consecrated in 1773. The completion of this
edifice, the design of which included a spire, was prevented by the
troubles of the Revolution, and its plain, square tower presented
nothing more attractive than a massive simplicity. In the front of this
tower, till the church was demolished in 1872, there was to be seen,
half imbedded in the brick-work, a cannon-ball, which was thrown from
the American fortifications at Cambridge, during the bombard-ment of the
city, then occupied by the British troops.
3. The Old South, first occupied for public worship in 1730.
4. Park Street Church, built in 1809, the tall white steeple of which is
the most conspicuous of all the Boston spires.
5. Christ Church, opened for public worship in 1723, and containing a
set of eight bells, long the only chime in Boston.

[INTERNATIONAL ODE.]
This ode was sung in unison by twelve hundred children of the public
schools, to the air of "God save the Queen," at the visit of the Prince
of Wales to Boston, October 18, 1860.
