Hurrah, my lads, the lively breeze
Now bloweth fresh and free;
And through the rafting cordage all
1t pipes right merriy.
Up with the heavy anchor, then,
And let the air resound
With merry song and chorus, lads,
For we are homeward bound.
Like TO q courser swift and strong,
From thong and bride free,
Our gallant bark with spreading sail
Now daShes DER the sea.
And onward through the swelling surge
We bound upon our way,
All gailY on in swift career
Amid the cleaning spray.
Swift out upon the heaving waves
Our stout ship now doth ride,
Triumphant Ger each biow'a crest
Upon the ocean wide.
About her Prov the blue waves curl
And lit their heads offoam,
The lively breeze still fellows on
Hurrah, we're bound for home.
Still onward, Ger the trackless deep,
AS shaft from archer's bow,
Our broad sails swelling to the breeze,
La plungng pride we go.
And music meet upon the sea,
Is the hoarse-tongued tempests sound,
BEFORE which bends each quiverng mast
Hurrah, we're homeward bound.
Far, far behind, the distant shore
HAS faded from the view,
AS iorth upon out homeward course
We plough the pillows blue.
so spread the canvass to the breeze,
And let the air resound
With merry song and chorus, Ids
Hurrah, we're homewatd bound.

Witty TRUTH-The celebrated DIR. johnson

point to the sentiment. At a celebration of the las
18th of July, in Paris, by Number of Americans, the
following was of the toasts given at the banquet
"THE CARTRIDGE-Box, THE BALLoT-Box, AND TINE
BAND-Box The external, the internal, and the eternal
preservatyes OF Republication"
This tsays a contemporary is the best toast ever
drank on the Fourth of July, in America or Europe.
1t is worthy Of being placed at the head of Lord Ba-
cons apothegms. The true spirit Of philosophy, pa
triotsm, and beauty pervade the whole sentiment, in
every word and idea The cartridge box, in tine hands
of brave man may be the DEFENCE of republican
from "exteraaP enemies and the ballot-box, kept
pare, may PRESERVE repuboansm from all "internal"
enemies, the Secessioniss and Abolitioniss not
ceptsd But "the handbook" is the ETERNAL preser-
vatve" OF repubicansm, and, it may be added, OF ey
