Shs was threatened with destruction
once before by the Government, but was
saved by the enthusiasm aroused jby a
poem of Holmes. ; .
It is often complained that we have too
few national monuments, and relics of
great events in this country, and yet we
seem bound to destroy those remaining.
The few that have been preserved were
saved, for the most part by patriotic men
and women, and not by the Government
It is to be hoped that the public protest
will prevail, and that this famous old
vessel will be preserved, to teach coming
generations how she held the seas "in the
brave days of old."

"OLD IRONSIDES"
The recent recommendation of the Sec
retary of the Navy, Mr Bonapart that
the Constitution, better known as Old
Ironsides, the most famous ship that has.
ever borne the Stars and Stripes through
the 'smoke of battle, be broken up, has
shocked the patriotism 1 cf the American
people, and brought forth a well merited
storm of protest Several public-spirited
men have come forward with the offer to
buy it in order that this famous vessel
may be oreserved to the nation: but Mr
Bonaparte now aays that it is a matter
for Congressional action.
The ship is at present anchored at the
Charlestown Navy Yard, at Boston, and
although sadly in need of repair, is far
from being a wreck. Its preservation
should be as dear to the hearts of the
American people as Nelson's flagship, the
Victory, is to those of Britain. Old Iron
sides was built In 1797, her bolt being
the work of Paul Revere, She served
against the French, and from 1801 to
1 80S against the pirates of Tripoli In
1818 she was victorious over the Guar-,
