having at former meeting offered gol'
medal for the best song on The Art of Print
ing, the following, written by MIR. Samue
Woodwork member of the Society, AM
sung at the late celebration of independence
obtained the prize:
From the crystalline courts of the temple o
light,
The dove-eye of Mercy to earth was directed
Where mortals were grovelling deep shroud
ed in night,
For passion was worshipp'd and wisdom
rejected:
Immersed in each i'll,
Of corrupted free will,
Yetmercy was patient, and vengeance slept still
For Infinite Lo0e had his banner unfurpd
.znd tie preccpts Of pisdom 1oere preact'd tc
the 1rortd
But naughty Ambition extended his reign,
And welded the sceptre of magic delusion
Held reason enshackled in tyranny's chain,
And govern'd by knowledge and learning
exclusion:
With mitre and hood,
Superstition and blood,
Corruption and vice delug'd earth like food
The blood crimson'd banner Of oar 0cds an
.furtd,
Ind knowledge and learning mere swept
from the 1cortd
Deep lock'd in the shrine of antiquity's lore,
The scriptures of light were withheld I'M
expounded,
A counterfeit Peter still guarded the door,
And the seekers of truth were by error con
founded.
Omnipotence saw,
Badc delusion withdraw,
And ordaind that OUR ART should promulgate
his law.
Then Genius its letters at Tyranny hurI'd,
-Atd PRINTING appear'd, to enttghten the
portd.
The blush Of Aurora now lighted the east,
And banish'd the darkness ofmystical terror.
Man sprang from the shrine where he'd wor-
snipp'd the beast,
While Prejudice own'd and relinquish'd his
error.
The truth was receiy'd,
Admired and believed.
And ours is the art which the blessing achiev'd
For non SoaS the banner Of acisdom am?farPd,
And Printing promulgated truth through
the xortd
The sage of Genoa, whose highsoaring soul,
BY flush from our art glowed with new
inspiration;
in brilliant perspective saw glory's bright goal,
And enrold new world on the page OF
creation:
With fame swelling breast,
Still onward he press'd,
Till Edens' bright regions appear'd in the west
Each CLINE saao the canvass Of Europe un
.furtd,
While Printing taught commerce to polish
the aoorId
But the sons of the West to more glory were
born,
And to US shall proud Europe the laurel
surrender,
For though hers was the blushing effulgence
of morn,
Vet ours is the noon of meridian splendor
For Heaven decreed,
That Columbia be freed,
And Printingand valor accomplished the deed
The banner of ,oar goas by Justice unfurfd
And Freedom by Printing procldimdts TIL
gcOrtd
Our standard the eagle of liberty bears,
His eyes, like the stars which surround HIM
resplendant,
While the olive asks peace, every arrow de

columbia forever shall be independent ;
For freedom is ours,
Nor shall Europes mad powers,
A feather e'er flch from our bird as he towers
And zchHs Printing its influence ertsnd
