OF coquetry--to see her was but to love
her. -.

had remembered from the summer be-
tore as buoyant and rosy with health.

A careful Investigation into tho state
OF her lungs convinced me that hers
was a mental rather than physical
consumption. Istudicd her case care
fully, watched the various expressions
Of her speaking face, and at last came
to the conclusion that her malady was
one purely Of the heart.
Of unrcquitcd affection? I could
not think that--bcautiful and good as
she was. The case, really, was q diff
cult one.

Our aim is high, our aim is high,
Our native land to shield and save!
Our aim is high, our aim is high,
Our band the true, the free, the brave!
That swelling host in heaven doth trust,
With stalwurt soul and stalwart hand,
To wipe away that stain accurscd
That dcsccratcs our glorious land.
CHORUS. ..
Our aim is high, our aim Is high,
Our native land to shield and save
Our aim is high, our aim is high,
Our band the true, the free, the brave.
Our flag is pure, our flag is pure,
The storicd flag of Washington
Our flag is pure, our flag is pure.
10 win as oft that flag has won;
We shine its stars OH gathering gloom,
Which from our affairs mclts away;
We show its stripes to mark the doom
OF traitors in each Coming fray.
our flag is true, our flag is true!
The bold Known othings" wave it high
Our flag is true, our flag is true,
Beneath its folds we live or die:
That banner pure is nobly waved,
While slecpers dream upon their post,
And shall be till each foe is braved,
And gained each gem of honor lost
Our flag is free, our flag is free,
Its principles approved of Heaven;
Our flag is free, our flag is free,
The Freedom by our fathers given
We swear that LIBERTY shall CLEAN
As pure as in the oldcn time,
By open force or secret scheme,
But always with power sublime
Our flag is strong, our flag is strong, F.,
lis gath'riAg strength each passing hour
Ote&Rpg is strong, our dag is strong,
And traitors know and feel its power,
The Papal hosts already quail
Before our potent might and skill,
And show how FREEDOM must prevail
Against the deepest wilcs of hell.
Our flag shall shine, our flag shall shine,
With undiminishcd stripe and ray
Our flag shall shine, our flag shall shine,
The conqucring flag of Liberty;
r The bravo Know-Notbings fame shall spread
AS that hagt victory,
And future times proclaim their need
On every glad'ning land and sea!

The MAGNITUDE OF THE EARrH.-According to
recent authority the circumference of the globe
is twenty-five thousand and twenty miles. 1t is not
so easy to comprehend so stupendous circle as to
put down its extent in figures. 1t becomes more
palpable perhaps, BY comparison, such as this. A
railway train, travelling necessarily night and day,
at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, would re-
quire six weeks to go round it. The cubical bulk
of the earth is two hundred and sixty thousand
millions of cubic miles! Dr. Lardner saws, if the
materials which form the globe were built up in
the form of a column, having pedestal of the
magnitude of England and Wales the height of
the column would be nearly four-and-a-haf millions
Of miles. A tunnel through the EARTH from England
to New Zealand, would be nearly eight thousand
miles long.
