Craig [[[Battle Monument at Baltimore.]]] {389}at Baltimore, sixty-eight miles from Elkton, at ten o'clock. The city was in a tumult. A destructive fire was raging; and the grand diapason of the trumpet shouts of the firemen and the clangor of bells met us upon the waters, almost as far distant as the lurid glare of the flames. ````"Oh the bells, bells, bells, ````What a tale their terror tells `````Of despair! ````How they clang, and clash, and roar! ````What a horror they outpour `````On the bosom of the palpitating air! ````In the startled ear of night ````How they scream out their affright! ````Too much horrified to speak, ````They can only shriek, shriek, `````Out of tune, ````In a clamorous appeal to the mercy of the fire." `````Edgar A. Poe.= I had traveled since dawn, by land and water, in rain and sunshine, full ninety miles; and it was a pleasant thought that to-morrow would be the Sabbath--a day of rest. [[[Baltimore and its Associations.--Washington's Monument.]]] {390} CHAPTER XV. ````"Hear the holy Sabbath bells, `````Sacred bells! ````Oh what a world of peaceful rest `````Their melody protests! ````How sweetly at the dawning ````Of a pleasant Sabbath morning, `````Sounds the rhyming, `````And the chiming `````Of the bells!"--H. S. Nolen.= [Illustration: 9400] UNDAY was as mild and bright in Baltimore as a Sabbath in May, although it was the 3d of December. That city has no old churches hallowed by the presence of the patriots of the Revolution. Annapolis was the only city in Maryland, except little St. Mary's, on its western border, when the battles for independence were fought; and "Baltimore towne," though laid out as early as 1729, contained, in 1776, less than one hundred houses. [Illustration: 8400] It is a city of the present; and yet, in extent, commerce, and population, it is the third city of the republic, numbering now about one hundred and sixty-five thousand inhabitants. *
