Hymn for the Fourth OF JuIy--1s40.
Fling out your banners to the breeze
The glorious Fourth has come,
Our Fathers bled for days like these
Strike up the stirring drum!
Light up your beacon-ires
On every mount and hill;
The spirit Of our sires
Burns in our bosoms still.
On every haIiowed mound,
Ia every storied glen,
Where at the bugle's sound,
Gathered our mighty men.
There let the cannon peal!
There let the shout be heard
Till the old forests feel
Their deepest caverns stirred.
Shout for the noble dead
Earth hath no greener graves
Than where they rest, who bled
That we might not be slaves!
Our nag waves proud and free
Our Eagle scars, to-day,
From broad Atlantic's sea,
To western waves away.
What though some millions sigh
For Freedoms breath, in vain
As meath a sultry sky
They drag the elanking chain.
What though the slaye-ship lands
Upon Virginia's shore,
Her faint and fettered bands,
To see their homes no more.
What though loves hottest ties
Are sundered at a breath
And Woman's broken heart
Lies bleeding unto death.
What though the Godlike soul
Hath lost its eye of light
Its hopes its fears, its joys,
Shrouded in starless night.
What though where banners wave
Above Nations hall -
They sell, like beasts, the slGue
TO everlasting thrall.
Wen sing of FREEDOM, still
Well lift her banners high,
And light on every hill
Tho fires Of LIBERTY. w. G. Brow,

init of the hills, they beheld vast and al
most interlhinabc field of ice undulating in
various places and formed into a thousand
gretesque shapes. They saw, not far from
the shore, the figure Of an icy vessel with
gltering cicle in place of mast arising
from it. Curiosity prompted them to ap-
proach, when they beheld a dismal sight.
Figures Of men in every attitude Of wo
were upon the deck, but they were icy
things. One figure alone stood erect, and
with folded arms leaning against the mast.
a hatchet was procured and the ice split a.
way, and the features of chieGtain were
disclosed, pallid and deathy, but free from
decay. This was, doubtless, the vessel,
and that figure the form Of Ericke Raudc.
Benumbed with cold, and in the agony of
despair, his crew had fallen around him.
He alone had stood erect while the chill Of
death passed over him. The spray of the
ocean and the falling sleet had frozen as it
lighted upon them, and covered each figure
with an icy robe which the short-lived glance
Of Greenland sun had nc, power to re-
move. The Danes gazed upon the spacta-
Gle with trembling. They knew not but
the same might be their fate. They kncel-
ed down upon the deck and muttc.cd a
prayer in their native tongues for the frozen
crew, then hastily left the place, for the
night was fast approaching.

decorated parlor, or in the lOwly and hum

ges should be guarded with diligence and
care. If once sacrificed at the shrine Of
wealth, their purity will be furnished and
they can never be reg2ined. Therefore, TO
secure their preservation, it is indispensable
that the laboring classes should feel, to The
fullest extent, their value and importance.
To the laboring classes this country has
ever looked with confidence for the perpet-
uation OF its free institution their opin-
ions and views have been earnestly sought
for, because they are always the result Of

Our Legislative halls are daily resounding
with the eloquence Of self-made men; men,
whose genius was first discovered in the
work shop. The ablest jurists, logicians,
and scientific men of our country; are those
who, after following the plough OF laboring
in the capacity of apprentices for years,
were placed by the people in the honorable
and appropriate sphere which they now oc-

ject of improving the mind. Industry and
unwearied application triumphed over every
obstacle, until the eager and inquisiliye
mind brought within comprehension the
ambiguous snbtletes of The law, and the
abstruse depths of science.
The people saw, approved, and rewar-
ded their exerlions, and now that they are
in public life, impartng usefulness and ben

THE EXECUTION OF KOBLER

On Friday last, between and o'clock,
Henry Kober Musselman was executed in
the yard of the county gaol for the murder
of Lazarus Zelierbach; according TO the
stern requirements OF the law he had often
ded. We attended, not because we desired
10 witness spectacle like this, but simply
to be enabled to give plain and accurate
statesmen OF the affair TO The public.
The Execution, though Privale-taking
place in yard surrounded by wall nearly
thirty feet high-creaied large amount of
eXci!ementin the popular mind. In the
neighborhocd of The gaOl, the crowd was
dense; and one or two of the houses in the
precincts, masses of spectators clustered to
the roofs, straining their eyes to get a
glimpse of the fatal ceremonies, which,
however, unfortunately for this morbid Gu
rosity, but luckily for the feelings Of the
prisoner, had been so arranged as to be
seen by none other than those admitted as
witnesses, or by the large body OF physi-
clans, OF whom, counting students and all,
there were some thirty or more present.
We regret 10 say, that so far did this desire
extend, that about dozen of the more ad-
vcnturous spirits managed to scale the wall
clinging TO il, and peering over into the
yard, forgetting their danger in the over
weening anxiety to see a man hung! Du-
ring the awful scene that took place before
the execution, and as Kobler was swung
off, the air resounded with the yclIs, shouts
and blasphemy of the crowd on the roofs
and wall, though im2lored by the Sheriff
10 desist.
At about a quarter past 2, Kobler entered
the yard, accompanied by the Sheriff and
gaoler. We watched him narrowly when
he saw the scafold: but there was no
change in his counlenance. He approach
ed it quickly, but with firm and elastic
step; his features, though rather melancho-
Is, did not seem TO hfye much of fear or
penience in them. He gave a quick glance
at the spectators; and, altogether, seemed to
look like man who had determined to
brave the terrors of his fate. When he
had partly ascended the scaffold, he stop
ped, raised his eyes to Heaven, and cried
out repeatedly, IN German, "Lod Jesus,
receive my soul ~ He then assembled en-
tirely to the platform, where he sang with
remarkably clear and distinct voice, some
verses in German composed by himself,
few days preceding. We are told that
those outside could hear the voice distinct
ly. This concluded, he said loud enough
to be heard in every part of the yard,
"Whatever may have done to others, of
this murder am elear;" then forgavs all
who had ever injured himi and then turning
