the magic influence of patriotic devotion

dispirited patriots. At one period, whilst
Bruce. he heroic chieftain of Scotland, was
struggling against the tyranny of England,
his army was dispersed, his resources ex-
hausted, and his hopes OF success almost lost
] in series Of appalling misfortune. With q.

He listlessly watched the labors of the In
dustrious insect. Nineteen times it essayed
to accomplish its work, aud nineteen times

This humble example inspired the despair

banner of liberty once more 10 the breeze
and upon the plains OF Bannockburn made
