IE FLAG OF THE UNION.


BY MRS. 2. L, scHRRMERHoRN.
Ion! reRd it not--stl let it wave,
That star-genmed flag, DER land and sea,
THE cherished signal of the brave,
The glorious banner of the free;
Still let it's eagle soar Oh high,
It's stripes still fresh, its stars still bright,
mo tempest N the smiling sky,
No gathering cloud TO quench their light.
On! plant it on each glorious spot,
Unfurl il wide, but rend it not.
There comes voice from every plain,
From every mount of strife and glory,
Where valOT'S blood has left a stain,
Or history found theme for story;
From Bunker Hill, from Bennington,
From glorious York the cry is heard;
From vale 10 mount tho sound rolls on,
And cen the ocean depths are stirred;
From every fame remembered spot
The bry is heard, Oh! rend it not!
on! by the chiefs whose awful forms
Are bending from the starry sky,
Who bore that flag through wars wild storms,
And proud and glorious bade il fly,
Their blood bought gift do not despise,
The proudest gift nation knows
"A flag, bright, sire Gaming to the skies,
That droups not TO its Wanting foes,
Oh! be the treasure meier forgot
Unfur il wide, but Tend it not.
Oh! We, the sons of noble sires,
j Who bravely struggled side by side,
Where bjazed the tented fields watch fires,
Or navies pressed the surging tide;
Shall petty chickering's rend the tie,
The oath fralernal sealed in blood?
Shall that proud banner cease TO fly,
A victor flag o'eT field and food?
No! be the Union meier forgot
Cnfar il wide, but rend il not.

Rev. DR.. KING. 1t is known that this dis
tinguished Missionary of the American Board
in Greece, has for some time been the object Of
bitter persecution, on account of some of his
publications. On the first day of January he
was sprung upon by rufian, while walking
the streets of Athens, who, with the avowed
intention of killing him, gave him several hea-
Wy blows on the head. He was rescued by
the bystanders; but still his life is regarded as
in much danger from the spirit of persecution
that has been excited

at Salem brings late intelligence from Para. 1t
appears that a dreadful and unprecedented
scarcity of provisions threatens the whole coun-
try with famine, or rather that the ravages OF

furnishing poor to desperation and death. Pub
lie meetings were forming, emigration was ac-
tive, and extreme measures were in progress
for the mitigation of the shocking calamity
which had depopulated whole districts in the
country. In the city the state of affairs was
little or no better, and many were perishing
for lack of food.

FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL II, 1916.
THE AFrRAY AT CHARLOTTE HALL. The

HE AFFRAY AT CHARLOTTE HALL. The
Patriot states that Mr. AshGom was still alive
on Sunday, but that there was no hope of his
recovery. The ball had penetrated so far into
his head, that it could not be found, and OF
course not extracted. When DR.. Bailey
reached there from this city, Mr.. A. was fast
relapsing again into insensibility. DR.. B. hav-
ing made careful examination of his wound,
and seeing the utter impossibility of removing
the ball, he at once advised his friends that the
case was beyond the reach of surgical Skill
There was scarcely hope that he could have
recovered even if the ball could have been ex-
tIacted. At our accounts from Mr.. A. to Sun
day, he was quite insensible, and was not ex-
Pected to survive long.
CRUIzE OF THE CONSTITUTION. The U. S.
Frigate Constitution, Captain Percval, was at
Oahu, on the Goth of November last, from

during that time twenty-three ports; sailed 49,
