AMERICAN ORGAN.
The American Flag.

L.
When freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard 10 the air,
She tore the azure robe Of night
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrc of the skies,
And stripped its pure, celestial white,
With streakings Of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun
She calPd her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosen land
III.
Majestic monarch Of the cloud,
Who rear's aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumpings loud
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thpnder-drum of heaven,
Child of the sum to thee It's gwen
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle-stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like the rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers Of victory!
III.
Flag of the brave thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
Aud the long lines comes cleaning on.
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimm' the glistenng bayonet,
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn
And as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance.
And when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreathes the Battle-Ground,
And CORY sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of fame on midnight's pail
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger Of death.
Nv.
Flag of the seas on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave;
When death, careering on the gale
Sweeps darkiy round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look ut once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
v.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home!
by angel hands to valor given;
The stars have lit the wellSin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard Sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls before US,
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming Ger us?

RHEUMATIsK.

This severe and painful disease has long
bafiied the skill of thousands Of our most eel
ebrated physicians. Time and money have
been wasted in futile endeavors to obtain
some embrocation that would perform cure
but all have failed except HUNTS LnuMEsT,
and that has been successful in almost every
instance in which it has been employed
rheumatism arises from different causes.
but most generally proceeds from colds, expo
sure to the weather, aud sleeping in damp
rooms Those who are subject to this COM

too long. Reader, if you have the rheuma

ora free fight occurred night before last
between Prof Thompson and Charley Ander-
son, solored BARRIERS. at their Boarding house.
1t originated in some discussion, probably of a
scientific nature, and pistols and bowie knives
were brought in as arguments. They were
both wounded somewhat, which makes no diff
ference, but little girl had her hand badly
cut in trying to separate them. So long as
these colored gentlemen only htrt themselves,
we are willing for them to fight away. But
when their brawling disturbs .neighborhood
and results in the injury of the innocent, it is
time for the law to interfere, and very severely
too. We do not know that their honors or
lives are SO very valuable as to justify them in
carrying deadly weapons about their persons
in this community.
