+
+
+
+Hearken to our neighbor with the iron tongue.  While I sit musing over my
+sheet of foolscap, he emphatically tells the hour, in tones loud enough
+for all the town to hear, though doubtless intended only as a gentle hint
+to myself, that I may begin his biography before the evening shall be
+further wasted.  Unquestionably, a personage in such an elevated
+position, and making so great a noise in the world, has a fair claim to
+the services of a biographer.  He is the representative and most
+illustrious member of that innumerable class, whose characteristic
+feature is the tongue, and whose sole business, to clamor for the public
+good.  If any of his noisy brethren, in our tongue-governed democracy, be
+envious of the superiority which I have assigned him, they have my free
+consent to hang themselves as high as he.  And, for his history, let not
+the reader apprehend an empty repetition of ding-dong-bell.
+He has been the passive hero of wonderful vicissitudes, with which I have
+chanced to become acquainted, possibly from his own mouth; while the
+careless multitude supposed him to be talking merely of the time of day,
+or calling them to dinner or to church, or bidding drowsy people go
+bedward, or the dead to their graves.  Many a revolution has it been his
+fate to go through, and invariably with a prodigious uproar.  And whether
+or no he have told me his reminiscences, this at least is true, that the
+more I study his deep-toned language, the more sense, and sentiment, and
+soul, do I discover in it.
+
+This bell--for we may as well drop our quaint personification--is of
+antique French manufacture, and the symbol of the cross betokens that it
+was meant to be suspended in the belfry of a Romish place of worship.
+The old people hereabout have a tradition, that a considerable part of
+the metal was supplied by a brass cannon, captured in one of the
+victories of Louis the Fourteenth over the Spaniards, and that a Bourbon
+princess threw her golden crucifix into the molten mass.  It is said,
+likewise, that a bishop baptized and blessed the bell, and prayed that a
+heavenly influence might mingle with its tones.  When all due ceremonies
+had been performed, the Grand Monarque bestowed the gift--than which none
+could resound his beneficence more loudly--on the Jesuits, who were then
+converting the American Indians to the spiritual dominion of the Pope.
+So the bell,--our self-same bell, whose familiar voice we may hear at all
+hours, in the streets,--this very bell sent forth its first-born accents
+from the tower of a log-built chapel, westward of Lake Champlain, and
+near the mighty stream of the St. Lawrence.  It was called Our Lady's
+Chapel of the Forest.  The peal went forth as if to redeem and consecrate
+the heathen wilderness.  The wolf growled at the sound, as he prowled
+stealthily through the underbrush; the grim bear turned his back, and
+stalked sullenly away; the startled doe leaped up, and led her fawn into
+a deeper solitude.  The red men wondered what awful voice was speaking
+amid the wind that roared through the tree-tops; and, following
+reverentially its summons, the dark-robed fathers blessed them, as they
+drew near the cross-crowned chapel.  In a little time, there was a
+crucifix on every dusky bosom.  The Indians knelt beneath the lowly roof,
+worshipping in the same forms that were observed under the vast dome of
+St. Peter's, when the Pope performed high mass in the presence of
+kneeling princes.  All the religious festivals, that awoke the chiming
+bells of lofty cathedrals, called forth a peal from Our Lady's Chapel of
+the Forest.  Loudly rang the bell of the wilderness while the streets of
+Paris echoed with rejoicings for the birthday of the Bourbon, or whenever
+France had triumphed on some European battle-field.  And the solemn woods
+were saddened with a melancholy knell, as often as the thick-strewn leaves
+were swept away from the virgin soil, for the burial of an Indian chief.
+
+Meantime, the bells of a hostile people and a hostile faith were ringing
+on Sabbaths and lecture-days, at Boston and other Puritan towns.  Their
+echoes died away hundreds of miles southeastward of Our Lady's Chapel.
+But scouts had threaded the pathless desert that lay between, and, from
+behind the huge tree-trunks, perceived the Indians assembling at the
+summons of the bell.  Some bore flaxen-haired scalps at their girdles, as
+if to lay those bloody trophies on Our Lady's altar.  It was reported,
+and believed, all through New England, that the Pope of Rome, and the
+King of France, had established this little chapel in the forest, for the
+purpose of stirring up the red men to a crusade against the English
+settlers.  The latter took energetic measures to secure their religion
+and their lives.  On the eve of an especial fast of the Romish Church,
+while the bell tolled dismally, and the priests were chanting a doleful
+stave, a band of New England rangers rushed from the surrounding woods.
+Fierce shouts, and the report of musketry, pealed suddenly within the
+chapel.  The ministering priests threw themselves before the altar, and
+were slain even on its steps.  If, as antique traditions tell us, no
+grass will grow where the blood of martyrs has been shed, there should be
+a barren spot, to this very day, on the site of that desecrated altar.
+
+While the blood was still plashing from step to step, the leader of the
+rangers seized a torch, and applied it to the drapery of the shrine.  The
+flame and smoke arose, as from a burnt-sacrifice, at once illuminating
+and obscuring the whole interior of the chapel,--now hiding the dead
+priests in a sable shroud, now revealing them and their slayers in one
+terrific glare.  Some already wished that the altar-smoke could cover the
+deed from the sight of Heaven.  But one of the rangers--a man of
+sanctified aspect, though his hands were bloody--approached the captain.
+
+"Sir," said he, "our village meeting-house lacks a bell, and hitherto we
+have been fain to summon the good people to worship by beat of drum.
+Give me, I pray you, the bell of this popish chapel, for the sake of the
+godly Mr. Rogers, who doubtless hath remembered us in the prayers of the
+congregation, ever since we began our march.  Who can tell what share of
+this night's good success we owe to that holy man's wrestling with the
+Lord?"
+
+"Nay, then," answered the captain, "if good Mr. Rogers hath holpen our
+enterprise, it is right that he should share the spoil.  Take the bell
+and welcome, Deacon Lawson, if you will be at the trouble of carrying it
+home.  Hitherto it hath spoken nothing but papistry, and that too in the
+French or Indian gibberish; but I warrant me, if Mr. Rogers consecrate it
+anew, it will talk like a good English and Protestant bell."
+
+So Deacon Lawson and half a score of his townsmen took down the bell,
+suspended it on a pole, and bore it away on their sturdy shoulders,
+meaning to carry it to the shore of Lake Champlain, and thence homeward
+by water.  Far through the woods gleamed the flames of Our Lady's Chapel,
+flinging fantastic shadows from the clustered foliage, and glancing on
+brooks that had never caught the sunlight.  As the rangers traversed the
+midnight forest, staggering under their heavy burden, the tongue of the
+bell gave many a tremendous stroke,--clang, clang, clang!--a most
+doleful sound, as if it were tolling for the slaughter of the priests and
+the ruin of the chapel.  Little dreamed Deacon Lawson and his townsmen
+that it was their own funeral knell.  A war-party of Indians had heard
+the report, of musketry, and seen the blaze of the chapel, and now were
+on the track of the rangers, summoned to vengeance by the bell's dismal
+murmurs.  In the midst of a deep swamp, they made a sudden onset on the
+retreating foe.  Good Deacon Lawson battled stoutly, but had his skull
+cloven by a tomahawk, and sank into the depths of the morass, with the
+ponderous bell above him.  And, for many a year thereafter, our hero's
+voice was heard no more on earth, neither at the hour of worship, nor at
+festivals nor funerals.
+
+And is he still buried in that unknown grave?  Scarcely so, dear reader.
+Hark!  How plainly we hear him at this moment, the spokesman of Time,
+proclaiming that it is nine o'clock at night!  We may therefore safely
+conclude that some happy chance has restored him to upper air.
+
+But there lay the bell, for many silent years; and the wonder is, that he
+did not lie silent there a century, or perhaps a dozen centuries, till
+the world should have forgotten not only his voice, but the voices of the
+whole brotherhood of bells.  How would the first accent of his iron
+tongue have startled his resurrectionists!  But he was not fated to be a
+subject of discussion among the antiquaries of far posterity.  Near the
+close of the Old French War, a party of New England axe-men, who preceded
+the march of Colonel Bradstreet toward Lake Ontario, were building a
+bridge of logs through a swamp.  Plunging down a stake, one of these
+pioneers felt it graze against some hard, smooth substance.  He called
+his comrades, and, by their united efforts, the top of the bell was
+raised to the surface, a rope made fast to it, and thence passed over the
+horizontal limb of a tree.  Heave ho! up they hoisted their prize,
+dripping with moisture, and festooned with verdant water-moss.  As the
+base of the bell emerged from the swamp, the pioneers perceived that a
+skeleton was clinging with its bony fingers to the clapper, but
+immediately relaxing its nerveless grasp, sank back into the stagnant
+water.  The bell then gave forth a sullen clang.  No wonder that he was
+in haste to speak, after holding his tongue for such a length of time!
+The pioneers shoved the bell to and fro, thus ringing a loud and heavy
+peal, which echoed widely through the forest, and reached the ears of
+Colonel Bradstreet, and his three thousand men.  The soldiers paused on
+their march; a feeling of religion, mingled with borne-tenderness,
+overpowered their rude hearts; each seemed to hear the clangor of the old
+church-bell, which had been familiar to hint from infancy, and had tolled
+at the funerals of all his forefathers.  By what magic had that holy
+sound strayed over the wide-murmuring ocean, and become audible amid the
+clash of arms, the loud crashing of the artillery over the rough
+wilderness-path, and the melancholy roar of the wind among the boughs?
+
+The New-Englanders hid their prize in a shadowy nook, betwixt a large
+gray stone and the earthy roots of an overthrown tree; and when the
+campaign was ended, they conveyed our friend to Boston, and put him up at
+auction on the sidewalk of King Street.  He was suspended, for the nonce,
+by a block and tackle, and being swung backward and forward, gave such
+loud and clear testimony to his own merits, that the auctioneer had no
+need to say a word.  The highest bidder was a rich old representative
+from our town, who piously bestowed the bell on the meeting-house where
+he had been a worshipper for half a century.  The good man had his
+reward.  By a strange coincidence, the very first duty of the sexton,
+after the bell had been hoisted into the belfry, was to toll the funeral
+knell of the donor.  Soon, however, those doleful echoes were drowned by
+a triumphant peal for the surrender of Quebec.
+
+Ever since that period, our hero has occupied the same elevated station,
+and has put in his word on all matters of public importance, civil,
+military, or religious.  On the day when Independence was first
+proclaimed in the street beneath, he uttered a peal which many deemed
+ominous and fearful, rather than triumphant.  But he has told the same
+story these sixty years, and none mistake his meaning now.  When
+Washington, in the fulness of his glory, rode through our flower-strewn
+streets, this was the tongue that bade the Father of his Country welcome!
+Again the same voice was heard, when La Fayette came to gather in his
+half-century's harvest of gratitude.  Meantime, vast changes have been
+going on below.  His voice, which once floated over a little provincial
+seaport, is now reverberated between brick edifices, and strikes the ear
+amid the buzz and tumult of a city.  On the Sabbaths of olden time, the
+summons of the bell was obeyed by a picturesque and varied throng;
+stately gentlemen in purple velvet coats, embroidered waistcoats, white
+wigs, and gold-laced hats, stepping with grave courtesy beside ladies in
+flowered satin gowns, and hoop-petticoats of majestic circumference;
+while behind followed a liveried slave or bondsman, bearing the
+psalm-book, and a stove for his mistress's feet.  The commonalty, clad in
+homely garb, gave precedence to their betters at the door of the
+meetinghouse, as if admitting that there were distinctions between them,
+even in the sight of God.  Yet, as their coffins were borne one after
+another through the street, the bell has tolled a requiem for all alike.
+What mattered it, whether or no there were a silver scutcheon on the
+coffin-lid?  "Open thy bosom, Mother Earth!"  Thus spake the bell.
+"Another of thy children is coming to his long rest.  Take him to thy
+bosom, and let him slumber in peace." Thus spake the bell, and Mother
+Earth received her child.  With the self-same tones will the present
+generation be ushered to the embraces of their mother; and Mother Earth
+will still receive her children.  Is not thy tongue a-weary, mournful
+talker of two centuries?  O funeral bell! wilt thou never be shattered
+with thine own melancholy strokes?  Yea, and a trumpet-call shall arouse
+the sleepers, whom thy heavy clang could awake no more!
+
+Again--again thy voice, reminding me that I am wasting the "midnight
+oil."  In my lonely fantasy, I can scarce believe that other mortals have
+caught the sound, or that it vibrates elsewhere than in my secret soul.
+But to many hast thou spoken.  Anxious men have heard thee on their
+sleepless pillows, and bethought themselves anew of to-morrow's care.  In
+a brief interval of wakefulness, the sons of toil have heard thee, and
+say, "Is so much of our quiet slumber spent?--is the morning so near at
+hand?"  Crime has heard thee, and mutters, "Now is the very hour!"
+Despair answers thee, "Thus much of this weary life is gone!" The young
+mother, on her bed of pain and ecstasy, has counted thy echoing strokes,
+and dates from them her first-born's share of life and immortality.  The
+bridegroom and the bride have listened, and feel that their night of
+rapture flits like a dream away.  Thine accents have fallen faintly on
+the ear of the dying man, and warned him that, ere thou speakest again,
+his spirit shall have passed whither no voice of time can ever reach.
+Alas for the departing traveller, if thy voice--the voice of fleeting
+time--have taught him no lessons for Eternity!

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+
+Hearken to our neighbor with the iron tongue.  While I sit musing over my
+sheet of foolscap, he emphatically tells the hour, in tones loud enough
+for all the town to hear, though doubtless intended only as a gentle hint
+to myself, that I may begin his biography before the evening shall be
+further wasted.  Unquestionably, a personage in such an elevated
+position, and making so great a noise in the world, has a fair claim to
+the services of a biographer.  He is the representative and most
+illustrious member of that innumerable class, whose characteristic
+feature is the tongue, and whose sole business, to clamor for the public
+good.  If any of his noisy brethren, in our tongue-governed democracy, be
+envious of the superiority which I have assigned him, they have my free
+consent to hang themselves as high as he.  And, for his history, let not
+the reader apprehend an empty repetition of ding-dong-bell.
+He has been the passive hero of wonderful vicissitudes, with which I have
+chanced to become acquainted, possibly from his own mouth; while the
+careless multitude supposed him to be talking merely of the time of day,
+or calling them to dinner or to church, or bidding drowsy people go
+bedward, or the dead to their graves.  Many a revolution has it been his
+fate to go through, and invariably with a prodigious uproar.  And whether
+or no he have told me his reminiscences, this at least is true, that the
+more I study his deep-toned language, the more sense, and sentiment, and
+soul, do I discover in it.
+
+This bell--for we may as well drop our quaint personification--is of
+antique French manufacture, and the symbol of the cross betokens that it
+was meant to be suspended in the belfry of a Romish place of worship.
+The old people hereabout have a tradition, that a considerable part of
+the metal was supplied by a brass cannon, captured in one of the
+victories of Louis the Fourteenth over the Spaniards, and that a Bourbon
+princess threw her golden crucifix into the molten mass.  It is said,
+likewise, that a bishop baptized and blessed the bell, and prayed that a
+heavenly influence might mingle with its tones.  When all due ceremonies
+had been performed, the Grand Monarque bestowed the gift--than which none
+could resound his beneficence more loudly--on the Jesuits, who were then
+converting the American Indians to the spiritual dominion of the Pope.
+So the bell,--our self-same bell, whose familiar voice we may hear at all
+hours, in the streets,--this very bell sent forth its first-born accents
+from the tower of a log-built chapel, westward of Lake Champlain, and
+near the mighty stream of the St. Lawrence.  It was called Our Lady's
+Chapel of the Forest.  The peal went forth as if to redeem and consecrate
+the heathen wilderness.  The wolf growled at the sound, as he prowled
+stealthily through the underbrush; the grim bear turned his back, and
+stalked sullenly away; the startled doe leaped up, and led her fawn into
+a deeper solitude.  The red men wondered what awful voice was speaking
+amid the wind that roared through the tree-tops; and, following
+reverentially its summons, the dark-robed fathers blessed them, as they
+drew near the cross-crowned chapel.  In a little time, there was a
+crucifix on every dusky bosom.  The Indians knelt beneath the lowly roof,
+worshipping in the same forms that were observed under the vast dome of
+St. Peter's, when the Pope performed high mass in the presence of
+kneeling princes.  All the religious festivals, that awoke the chiming
+bells of lofty cathedrals, called forth a peal from Our Lady's Chapel of
+the Forest.  Loudly rang the bell of the wilderness while the streets of
+Paris echoed with rejoicings for the birthday of the Bourbon, or whenever
+France had triumphed on some European battle-field.  And the solemn woods
+were saddened with a melancholy knell, as often as the thick-strewn leaves
+were swept away from the virgin soil, for the burial of an Indian chief.
+
+Meantime, the bells of a hostile people and a hostile faith were ringing
+on Sabbaths and lecture-days, at Boston and other Puritan towns.  Their
+echoes died away hundreds of miles southeastward of Our Lady's Chapel.
+But scouts had threaded the pathless desert that lay between, and, from
+behind the huge tree-trunks, perceived the Indians assembling at the
+summons of the bell.  Some bore flaxen-haired scalps at their girdles, as
+if to lay those bloody trophies on Our Lady's altar.  It was reported,
+and believed, all through New England, that the Pope of Rome, and the
+King of France, had established this little chapel in the forest, for the
+purpose of stirring up the red men to a crusade against the English
+settlers.  The latter took energetic measures to secure their religion
+and their lives.  On the eve of an especial fast of the Romish Church,
+while the bell tolled dismally, and the priests were chanting a doleful
+stave, a band of New England rangers rushed from the surrounding woods.
+Fierce shouts, and the report of musketry, pealed suddenly within the
+chapel.  The ministering priests threw themselves before the altar, and
+were slain even on its steps.  If, as antique traditions tell us, no
+grass will grow where the blood of martyrs has been shed, there should be
+a barren spot, to this very day, on the site of that desecrated altar.
+
+While the blood was still plashing from step to step, the leader of the
+rangers seized a torch, and applied it to the drapery of the shrine.  The
+flame and smoke arose, as from a burnt-sacrifice, at once illuminating
+and obscuring the whole interior of the chapel,--now hiding the dead
+priests in a sable shroud, now revealing them and their slayers in one
+terrific glare.  Some already wished that the altar-smoke could cover the
+deed from the sight of Heaven.  But one of the rangers--a man of
+sanctified aspect, though his hands were bloody--approached the captain.
+
+"Sir," said he, "our village meeting-house lacks a bell, and hitherto we
+have been fain to summon the good people to worship by beat of drum.
+Give me, I pray you, the bell of this popish chapel, for the sake of the
+godly Mr. Rogers, who doubtless hath remembered us in the prayers of the
+congregation, ever since we began our march.  Who can tell what share of
+this night's good success we owe to that holy man's wrestling with the
+Lord?"
+
+"Nay, then," answered the captain, "if good Mr. Rogers hath holpen our
+enterprise, it is right that he should share the spoil.  Take the bell
+and welcome, Deacon Lawson, if you will be at the trouble of carrying it
+home.  Hitherto it hath spoken nothing but papistry, and that too in the
+French or Indian gibberish; but I warrant me, if Mr. Rogers consecrate it
+anew, it will talk like a good English and Protestant bell."
+
+So Deacon Lawson and half a score of his townsmen took down the bell,
+suspended it on a pole, and bore it away on their sturdy shoulders,
+meaning to carry it to the shore of Lake Champlain, and thence homeward
+by water.  Far through the woods gleamed the flames of Our Lady's Chapel,
+flinging fantastic shadows from the clustered foliage, and glancing on
+brooks that had never caught the sunlight.  As the rangers traversed the
+midnight forest, staggering under their heavy burden, the tongue of the
+bell gave many a tremendous stroke,--clang, clang, clang!--a most
+doleful sound, as if it were tolling for the slaughter of the priests and
+the ruin of the chapel.  Little dreamed Deacon Lawson and his townsmen
+that it was their own funeral knell.  A war-party of Indians had heard
+the report, of musketry, and seen the blaze of the chapel, and now were
+on the track of the rangers, summoned to vengeance by the bell's dismal
+murmurs.  In the midst of a deep swamp, they made a sudden onset on the
+retreating foe.  Good Deacon Lawson battled stoutly, but had his skull
+cloven by a tomahawk, and sank into the depths of the morass, with the
+ponderous bell above him.  And, for many a year thereafter, our hero's
+voice was heard no more on earth, neither at the hour of worship, nor at
+festivals nor funerals.
+
+And is he still buried in that unknown grave?  Scarcely so, dear reader.
+Hark!  How plainly we hear him at this moment, the spokesman of Time,
+proclaiming that it is nine o'clock at night!  We may therefore safely
+conclude that some happy chance has restored him to upper air.
+
+But there lay the bell, for many silent years; and the wonder is, that he
+did not lie silent there a century, or perhaps a dozen centuries, till
+the world should have forgotten not only his voice, but the voices of the
+whole brotherhood of bells.  How would the first accent of his iron
+tongue have startled his resurrectionists!  But he was not fated to be a
+subject of discussion among the antiquaries of far posterity.  Near the
+close of the Old French War, a party of New England axe-men, who preceded
+the march of Colonel Bradstreet toward Lake Ontario, were building a
+bridge of logs through a swamp.  Plunging down a stake, one of these
+pioneers felt it graze against some hard, smooth substance.  He called
+his comrades, and, by their united efforts, the top of the bell was
+raised to the surface, a rope made fast to it, and thence passed over the
+horizontal limb of a tree.  Heave ho! up they hoisted their prize,
+dripping with moisture, and festooned with verdant water-moss.  As the
+base of the bell emerged from the swamp, the pioneers perceived that a
+skeleton was clinging with its bony fingers to the clapper, but
+immediately relaxing its nerveless grasp, sank back into the stagnant
+water.  The bell then gave forth a sullen clang.  No wonder that he was
+in haste to speak, after holding his tongue for such a length of time!
+The pioneers shoved the bell to and fro, thus ringing a loud and heavy
+peal, which echoed widely through the forest, and reached the ears of
+Colonel Bradstreet, and his three thousand men.  The soldiers paused on
+their march; a feeling of religion, mingled with borne-tenderness,
+overpowered their rude hearts; each seemed to hear the clangor of the old
+church-bell, which had been familiar to hint from infancy, and had tolled
+at the funerals of all his forefathers.  By what magic had that holy
+sound strayed over the wide-murmuring ocean, and become audible amid the
+clash of arms, the loud crashing of the artillery over the rough
+wilderness-path, and the melancholy roar of the wind among the boughs?
+
+The New-Englanders hid their prize in a shadowy nook, betwixt a large
+gray stone and the earthy roots of an overthrown tree; and when the
+campaign was ended, they conveyed our friend to Boston, and put him up at
+auction on the sidewalk of King Street.  He was suspended, for the nonce,
+by a block and tackle, and being swung backward and forward, gave such
+loud and clear testimony to his own merits, that the auctioneer had no
+need to say a word.  The highest bidder was a rich old representative
+from our town, who piously bestowed the bell on the meeting-house where
+he had been a worshipper for half a century.  The good man had his
+reward.  By a strange coincidence, the very first duty of the sexton,
+after the bell had been hoisted into the belfry, was to toll the funeral
+knell of the donor.  Soon, however, those doleful echoes were drowned by
+a triumphant peal for the surrender of Quebec.
+
+Ever since that period, our hero has occupied the same elevated station,
+and has put in his word on all matters of public importance, civil,
+military, or religious.  On the day when Independence was first
+proclaimed in the street beneath, he uttered a peal which many deemed
+ominous and fearful, rather than triumphant.  But he has told the same
+story these sixty years, and none mistake his meaning now.  When
+Washington, in the fulness of his glory, rode through our flower-strewn
+streets, this was the tongue that bade the Father of his Country welcome!
+Again the same voice was heard, when La Fayette came to gather in his
+half-century's harvest of gratitude.  Meantime, vast changes have been
+going on below.  His voice, which once floated over a little provincial
+seaport, is now reverberated between brick edifices, and strikes the ear
+amid the buzz and tumult of a city.  On the Sabbaths of olden time, the
+summons of the bell was obeyed by a picturesque and varied throng;
+stately gentlemen in purple velvet coats, embroidered waistcoats, white
+wigs, and gold-laced hats, stepping with grave courtesy beside ladies in
+flowered satin gowns, and hoop-petticoats of majestic circumference;
+while behind followed a liveried slave or bondsman, bearing the psalm-
+book, and a stove for his mistress's feet.  The commonalty, clad in
+homely garb, gave precedence to their betters at the door of the
+meetinghouse, as if admitting that there were distinctions between them,
+even in the sight of God.  Yet, as their coffins were borne one after
+another through the street, the bell has tolled a requiem for all alike.
+What mattered it, whether or no there were a silver scutcheon on the
+coffin-lid?  "Open thy bosom, Mother Earth!"  Thus spake the bell.
+"Another of thy children is coming to his long rest.  Take him to thy
+bosom, and let him slumber in peace." Thus spake the bell, and Mother
+Earth received her child.  With the self-same tones will the present
+generation be ushered to the embraces of their mother; and Mother Earth
+will still receive her children.  Is not thy tongue a-weary, mournful
+talker of two centuries?  O funeral bell! wilt thou never be shattered
+with thine own melancholy strokes?  Yea, and a trumpet-call shall arouse
+the sleepers, whom thy heavy clang could awake no more!
+
+Again--again thy voice, reminding me that I am wasting the "midnight
+oil."  In my lonely fantasy, I can scarce believe that other mortals have
+caught the sound, or that it vibrates elsewhere than in my secret soul.
+But to many hast thou spoken.  Anxious men have heard thee on their
+sleepless pillows, and bethought themselves anew of to-morrow's care.  In
+a brief interval of wakefulness, the sons of toil have heard thee, and
+say, "Is so much of our quiet slumber spent?--is the morning so near at
+hand?"  Crime has heard thee, and mutters, "Now is the very hour!"
+Despair answers thee, "Thus much of this weary life is gone!" The young
+mother, on her bed of pain and ecstasy, has counted thy echoing strokes,
+and dates from them her first-born's share of life and immortality.  The
+bridegroom and the bride have listened, and feel that their night of
+rapture flits like a dream away.  Thine accents have fallen faintly on
+the ear of the dying man, and warned him that, ere thou speakest again,
+his spirit shall have passed whither no voice of time can ever reach.
+Alas for the departing traveller, if thy voice--the voice of fleeting
+time--have taught him no lessons for Eternity!

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
+on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
+distribute it in the United States without permission and
+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+

+[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
+receive this eBook from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook) disclaims

+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.
