At once, grace and government to genius.
Without it, what is man! A splendid slave !!
a reasoning savage! vacilating between the
dignity Of an intelligence derived from God,
and the degradation Of passions participated

SEVENTf-SlA.
by WILLIAM Q. BRYANT.
What horse from the woodland sprung,
When, through the fresh awakened land,
The thrilling cry Of freedom rung,
And 10 the work Of warfare strung,
The yeoman's iron hand
Hills flung the cry to hills around,
And ocean-mart replied to mart,
And streams, whose springs were yet unbound
Pealed Ear away the startling sound
Into the forests heart
Then marched the brave from rocky steep,
From mountain river swift and cold;
The borders Of the stormy deep,
The Wales where gathered waters sleep, s
Sent up the strong and bold.
As II the very earth again
Grew quick with Gods creating breath,
And, from the sods Of grove and glen,
Rose ranks of hon-hesTted men
To battle 10 the DEATH
The wife, whose babe first smiled that day,
The fair, fond bride OF yester eve,
And aged sire and matron gray,
Saw the loved warriors haste away,
And deemed il sin to grieye.
Already had the strife begun;
Already blood on Concord's plain
Along the springing grass had run
And blood had flowed at Lexington,
Like brooks Of summer rain.
The deaih-stain on the April sword
Hallowed to freedom all the shore;
In fragments fell the yoke abhored--
The footstep Of foreign lord.
Profaned the soil no more.
