THE AMERICAN FLAG.

BIZ r.. Gs HALLcOh'
When Freedom. from her mountain height
Unfurl'd her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe Of night,
And set the stars Of glory there;
She Mingled with the gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric Of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white,
With streakngs of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun,
She call'd her eagle.bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch Of the cloud.
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form.
To hear the tempest trumping loud,
And see the lightning lapces driven.
When strive the warriors OF the storm
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven,-
Child of the Sun, to thee tits given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its pleading shine afar.
Like rainbows on the clouds Of war,
The harbinger of victory.
Flag Of the brave. thy folds shall fly,
The sign Of hope and triumph, high.
When speaks the signal trumpet.tone.
And the long line comes cleaning on,
ERE yet the Iite-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glist'nins bayonet,)
Each sodier'sseye shall gladly turn
10 where thy meteor glories burn,
And as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance.
And, when the cannon mouthings loud
heave, in wild wreaths. the battle shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fall,
Like shouts of fame on mdnight's pail!
There shall thy victor glances glow.
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes the blow
That lovely messenger Of death.
Flag of the seas, on oceans wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave,
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the belied sail,
And frightened waves rush wildly back,
Before the broad-side's Keeling rack;
The dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly,
In triumph, DER his closing eve.
Flag Of the free hearts, only home,
BY angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkn dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe, but falls before US,
With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedoms banner streaming Ger us?

On board of the steamboat John Molson. IN

The question most interesting to the medi

to our city. We are Informed by DIR. Holmes. Of
Montreal, that an emigrant died at the wharf ot
the Cholera. and the next day the disease sprung
up in three different section, OF the city. 40"
those persons who were affected had no comnhu-
nication with the sick man, and one was at least
half mile from him. Is it not most extraordina-
~ that it should have spread from this one cen.
ire. and assimilated the atmosphere to Itself
with such celebrity and intensity in the space oI
twelve hours?-lt is in vain to fly; it you leave
the city you lose medical advice. and perhaps
on your journey take the disease. Courage is the
preservative. 1t is on our continent, and II
am not deceived it will pass over it. 1T in the

my intention to make myself thoroughly acquaint-

in filthy condition, and to the poor let flannel
and wooen stockings be distributed; these are
most salutary precautions.
