sible parts Of the State, where it will require
a weeks journey on horseback 10 reach
them, and therefore the notes cannot be

capitals in the state ment published day

thus stated are not in existence, as the in.

OF old sat Freedom ON the Heights.

OF old sat Freedom on the Heights.
Of old sat freedom on the heights,
The thunders breaking at her feet:
Above her shook the starry lights:
She heard the torrents meet.
Within her place she did rejoice,
Self.gathered in her prophet. mind,
But fragments of her mighty voice
Came rolling on the wind.
Then slept she down thro' town and field
To mingle with the human race,
Ard part by part to man reveal'd
The fullness of her face
Grave mother Of majestic works,
From her high altar gazing down,
Who, God-lik grasps the triple forks,
And king-like, wears the crown:
Her open eyes desire the truth.
The wisdom of thousand years
Is in them. May perpetual youth
Keep dry their light from tears;
That her fair form may stand and shine
Make bright our days and light our
dreams,
Turning to scorn with lips divine
The falsehood Of extremes!
