The Thriving Pa snt,y.

BY MRS sfcorRNEY
Our father lives in Washington,
And has world Of cares
But gives his children each farm,
Enough for them and theirs
Full thirty weIl.grown sons has he,
A numerous race indeed,
Married and settled, all. dye see,
With boys aud girls to feed.
And il we wisely till our lands.
We are sure to earn living,
And have penny, too, TO spare.
For spending or for giving.
A thriving family are we,
No iordling neec deride Us,
For we know how to use our hands,
And in our ~its we pride Us;
Hail, brothers, hail
Let nought on earth divide us.
Some Of US dare the sharp north east,
Some clover fields are moving;
And others tend the cotton plants
That keep the looms asoing;
Some build and steer the big. winged ships,
And few in speed can mate them,
While others rear the corn and wheat,
Or grind the -four to freight them.
And il our nsighbors DER the sea
Have s'er an empty larder.
To send loaf their babes to cheer,
Wen work little harder.
No old nobility have we, ..s- ..
No tyrant king to ride us;
Our 'ages in the Capitol
Enact the laws that guide Us. ..
Hail, brothers, hail
Let nought on earth divide Us.
Some faults have We we can't deny
A foible here and there;
But other households have the same.
And so we'll not despair.
twill do no good to fume and frown,
And call hard names, you see,
And 'twere burning shame to rart
So fine family. a.
'Tis but waste of time to fret,
Since Nature made us one,
For every quarrel cuts thread
That healthful love has spun
So draw the cords Of union fast,
Whatever may betide 10,
And closer cling through every blast,
For many storm has tried us.
Hail. brothers. hail
Let nought on earth divide us.
