ODE TO LIBERTY.

BY THE BOSTON BAND.
When Freedom. meath the battle storm
Her weary head reclined;
And round her fair majestic form
Oppression fain had twined;
Amidst the din, beneath tn cloud,
CIR al WASHINGTON appear'd,
With daring hand rol''d back the shroud,
And thus the suif'rer cheer'd;
"Spnrn--spurn dispair! be great-be free,
With giant strength arise;
Stretch. stretch thy pin'ons, Liberty,
Thy flag plant in the skies
Clolhe-clothe myself in giory's robe,
Let stars thy banners gem;
Rule-rule the sea, possess the globe,
Wear victory's diadem.
Go tell the world world is born,
Another orb gives light,
Another sun illunes the morn, 49,
Another star the night.
Be lust, be brave, and let thy name.
Hencefnr,h COLUMBIA be
Wear-wear the oaken wreath Of fame,
The wreath OF Liberty"
He said, and lo the stars Of night,
Forth to he: banner flew,
And morn with pencil dipp'd in light,
Her bushes on it threw.
Colnmbias chieitain seized the prize,
All gl4riously u:2iurl'd,

And wav'd it DER the world.

sentences in a rushing torrent, whose
sound, like the roar of the pealing thun-
| der, alarmed the heart and grated the ear;
but Clifford in that melody -murmuring
stream, which modn'ates the music Of
thought" True eloquence is gift which
education or study cannot bestow, MS, like
the "holy fire of poetry" its ethereal
fame of inspiration must be caught from
the iightnings OF heaven, and its solar
pathway must be only pursued by the
soaring eagles Of genius.
| Wordsworth again occupied the floor;
but his speech was an entire future, and
the question was lost. He had anticipated
an easy victory over "the inexperienced
YOUTH" as he was pleased to call Charles,
believing him to be one of but ordinary
Icapacity, and knowing that he had but
few opportunities Of establishing an infn
ence in the house. He was much inte-
rested personally in the decision of this
Question, and when he lost it, he lost other
and more important concerns. He dis
covered that Clifford was his equal, if not
superior, in point of intellect, and was
gaining considerable popularity, and ma
ny strong friends, and would therefore be
a rival not to be despised.
That Clifford l have this day marked
out for my prey muttered Wordsworth,
as he walked to his room after the discus.
sion. If he be suffered to pursue his pre-
sent course,I see how it will end: Twill be
the loser, he the gainer-he will suppant
me. But it shall not be --he and are OPP

has even dared to thwart some of my
grandest schemes, and as live he shall
repent it,
But weeks and days passed away with
out Wordsworth finding an opportunity
of provoking Clifford to arupture. In the
meantime the latter was gaining influence
and popularity, and the formers maliy-

mali ce were becoming almost ungoverna-
