FREEDOM


FREEDOM.
When the world in throngs shall press
To the battles glorious van,
When the oppressed shall seek redres
And shall claim the rights of man
Then shall freedom smile again,
On the earth and on the main.
When the tide of war shall roll
Like impeIious oceans surge,
From the tropic to the pole
And to earth's remotest verge
Then shall valor dash the gem
From each tyrant's diadem.
When the banner is unfurled
Like silver cloud in air,
And the champions of the world
In their might assemble there
Man shall rend bis iron chain
Aud redeem his rights again.
Then the thunderbolts shall fall
In their fury on each throne,
Where the despot holds in thrall
Spirits nobler than his own
And the cry of all shall be,
Battles shroud or liberty
Then the trumr shall echo loud
Stirring nations from afar,
In the daring line to crowd,
And to rear the blade of war
While the tide fife shall rain
And encrimson every plain.
Then the Saracen shall flee
From the city of the Lord
Then the light of victory
Shall Hume Judea's sword
And new liberty shall shine
On the plains of Palestine.
Then the Turk shall madIy view
How his crescent wakes dim,
Like the waning moon, whose hue
Fades away on oceans brim-
Then the cross of Christ shall stand
On that consecrated land.
Yea--the light of freedom smiles
On the Grecian phalanx now
Breaks upon Iona's isles,
And on lda's lofty brow
And the shouts of battle swell
Where the Spartan lion fell!
Where the Spartan lion fell,
Proud and dauntless in the strife
How triumphant was his knell!
How sublime his close of life
Glory shone upon his eye,
Glory which can never die.
Soon shall earth awake in might,
Retribution shall arise
And all regions shall unite
To obtain the glorious prize
And expressions iron crown
To the dust be trodden down.
When the Almighty shall deform
Heaven in the hour of wrath
When the Angel of the storm
Sweeps in fury on his path
Then shall tyranny be hurleda
From the bosom of the world.
Yet, oh freedom, yet awhile,
All mankind shall own thy sway
And the eye of God shall smile
On thy brightly dawning day
And all nations shall adore
At thine altar, evermore.

Imhrovements.-The Harbor Master
of, PHILADELPHIA has reported to the CT
ty Council, that the vessels from foreign
ports which had arrived there during the
two last months, exceeded by 26 the
number which arrived in correspon-
ding time in 1921. Added to this it is
stated, that real estates were on the rise,
domestic manufactures on the increase,
and numerous other indications of the
continued and increasing prosperity of
the City OF Brotherly Love. In .Ne4v-
York also, we find it asserted in round
numbers, that 1000 buildings, including
several churches, where in construction
there. This is strong proof of prospect
.ty. We too, can add, that we have no
recollection Of any season, when so ma
ny buildings, most Of them of the first
class, were going up, as at the present
in Boston. And we can also add, that
the improvements in the towns in the
seem to hold equal pace
with the capital. Boston Centinel.

IN THE IOUN OF EDW.4RDSVILLE.
In profiering these proposals, at this early
period, we hope we will meet with liberal pa
tronage from the people of this county, and it
is believed, that work, such as is here pro-
posed, will be as useful as it will be interesting.

RECIPE.

To destroy or drive away Bed Bugs.
SIR-During last being much
troubled with those pests TO housewives,
bed bugs, tried the various means l
had heard of, to expel them from bed
stead they had chosen for their abode /;
but l found none of them effectually to
answer the purpose. After pouring
boiling water on some, watched them,
and perceived that though they lay APP
parently dead for a length of time, the
most of them would revive. The same
happened when applied spirits of tur-
pentine, corrosive sublimate, sc. &c.
Ny patience was at last exhausted, and
| determined not to bother myself any
more with other directions, but to make
the experiment whether they might not
be literally scented out of their hiding
places-l had seen it stated that partlcu-
lar plants were disagreeable to particu-
lar vermin; first rubbed the bedstead
with elder flowers, but to my cost the
perverse inhabitants did not dislike the
scent, for though | killed all saw at
that time, in two weeks after they were
as numerous as ever. Walking in the
garden the same day, | accidentally
touched tomato vine, the smell Of
which is particularly nauseous to me !;
the thought suddenly occurred that it
might be equally SO to my enemies, the
bugs. l Immediately set to work, and
had the bedstead thoroughly rubbed
with the green vine. Ihave not since
discovered any Of my tormentors.-I
cannot say whether they have at last
died or absconded. l inform you of
this, as l wish others TO try ifthe tomato
vine will always have the effect, sup
pose it had in this case.
