Scott and Our Flag.

AIR" Our FLAG Is THERr"
Brave Scott has borne that flag aloft,
On many field, on many shore
And fought for Freedom well and oft
Amid the battles deafening roar
CHoRUs-Our Flag is there Our Flag is there
We hail it with three loud huzzas r
Our Flag is there Our Flagis there
Behold It's glorious stripes and stars
On Chip'wa's plain he dared to meet
Proud Brltain's arms with dauntless eve {;
The Lion cowerd beneath his feet.
The Eagle shrieked and scared on HIGH.
Our Flag, &c.
At Lundy's Lane, with gallant few,
lie welcomed hosts to bloody graves;
The thunder hush'd, the smoke withdrew
And there our glorious banner waves.
Our Flag, &c.
Niagara shall lift her voice,
And tell the triumphs of that day,
And Freedom shall with Fame rejoice,
To see Our Flag its folds display
Our Flag, &C..
San juan's castle strongly stood
Our feet and Amys power to dare;
He shook her strength on field and food,
And placed Our Flag in triumph there
Our Flag, &c.
On Cerro Gordo's lofty height,
When death shots few in tempest hurl'd,
He stormed the hills, put hosts to flight
And on the breeze Our Flag unfurPd.
Our Flag, &C..
Upon Chapultepcc's proud walls
lie struck the last decisive blow;
And from the Montezpmas' Halls
Dictated peace to Mexico.
Our Flag, &c.
To Washington he'll lead the van,
In bloodless triumph nobly won
\ hero. statesman, and a man.
To crown in age what youth began.
Our Flag, &C..
That Flag shall DER the UNION wave
Nor from It's folds one badge be torn ;
An ensign of the Free and Brave,
Its stripes shall glow, its stars shall burn
Our Flag &c.

FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 80, 1852.

beat, and fair cheek flushed, as his dark
eye glanced over the galleries, bright as an
eastern garden with the loveliest flowers of
Rome.
But they soon turned from him TO his
rival, and fingered there His humble
dress and threadbare mantle were unheeded
for the noble face that looked so pale in
the dark shadows where he stood but
ray of sunlight lay softly on the long dark
locks that fell heavily round his face, and
all unconscious Of the eyes upon him, he
stood locking calmly on the sweet face of
Madonna above
As the twelve silvery chimes died away,
the Count sprang forward and exultngly
flung back the curtain. A long breathless
pause, and then loud and long sounded the
applause, till the vaulted roof rung again.
1t was Madeline, beautiful as love could
make her. Beneath the picture, traced in
golden letters, were courIy words of love
and tlauery, and before it the Count kuelt
gracefully, and with uncovered head.
Then the pale young painter lifted his
dark curtain, and not sound broke the
deep stiffness as with fascinated ewes they
gazed. Tears were on many a cheek, for
the simple word d" Mother traced below
brought back 10 many careless heart, the
long forgotten hours Of innocence and
youth; It was strangely beautiful. The
silvered hair lay softly round the gentle
face, and the mild dark eyes seemed look
ing down on her son with all mothers
londness, while the light that fell from the
high window seemed 10 shut the world of
sin and shadows from them.
The silence was broken by burst of
applause that shook the old walls, and of
ten as it died away twas again renewed 1;
plumed caps waved, and flowers fell at his
feet, Sill with folded hands he stood
needless of all. for his thoughts were far
away; he saw only the gentle face before
him, heard only her low, sweet voice, felt
only her hand laid in blessing on his head,
and all else was forgotten.
Then clear and deep among the mur-
muring crowd sounded the voice of the old
painter, saying
Guido Of Florence hath won the prize;
and more than this, he hath gained our
love and honor, for one who holds in afIec-
lions priced above the young and lovely
the face that first smiled upon him, the
heart that loved, | ask no greater wealth
for my child than the love Of so noble a
son. She is thine, Guido, with my fondest
blessing
And md hurst Of triumphant music,
the wreath fell upon his head, and Made
line upon his breast. The nobiest pain
ters crowded round him, fair ladies scat
tered flowers in his path, and even his ri
val, shroudng his own fair picture, hung
a bright wreath over the other, and with
tears Oh his proud face, stood humbIy be-
fore II, while gentle memories came steal
ing back, bringing quiet JOY, long un-
known to bis ambitious heart; and he rose
up a better man tor the holy lesson he had
learned
And while noble painters and beautiful
women paid their homage to the humble
artist, and the deep toned music rolled
through the bright halls, high above all the
calm, soft face, looked proudly down on
the son. whose unfaiIing love for her had
gained for him the honor and love hs so
richly deserved.
