JASuiav l, 1885,
Old Eighteen Hundred Fifty-Four
Hath been-is not-will be no more
His race eyentful, hath been rSp-
His good and evil deeds are doneI
ne leaves bohind both friends and foes,
While lights and shadows mark his way,
From opening morn to closing day!
Within his time, on land and sea,
There hath been much of misery
Abroad, grim-visaged War appears,
His footprints stand with blood and tears;
At home, fell Pestience and Blight
Enshadow that brght
Disaster reves on the wave,
And gives to Death both fair and brave!
Young HoLIAsp, at the Are.lcls gun,
fame enduring nobly won;
While panic seized faithless crew,
lie proved himself 10 duty true:
And when, beneath his native skies,
Monument to him shall rise,
His epitaph may Justly be-
The DAusTLEss HFgo OF THE SEAL
In Polar regions, far away,
Meier warm'd BY Summers genial ray,
A ERANKLiN and his fellow braves
Sleep, cofinless, in icy graves
While, gazing oas upon the main,
And ondly calls him to the home
lie left in Mercy's cause to roam
Adown the Years receding tide
Green islets dot the wat'ry way
0'erarching Night is pierced by Day;
Bright glories, imaged on the stream,
Fling back rich and radiant CLEAN
1t is not all a of gloom
An ocean waste bereft of bloom
This chosen land of Liberty,
With s'bappy homes and affairs free"
Still holds CONSTITUTION firm
Of all our growth and strength the germ
Still boasts UNION strong and dear
The freeman's hope, the tyrants fear;
Still hoists FLAG before the world
The proudest ever yet unfarldt
Though factions rage throughout the land,
That CoSsrITuTIoN firm shall stand
Though dissolution be ''resolved,"
That UNION shall not be dissoyed
Though Bigotry ,ganst Justice fights,
To guard the blessings Freedom gives.
Bsse Eavy, Prejudice and Hate
May howl around the Chair of State;
But feel no coward dread,
For JAcKsoN's spirit is not dead
Ii warns the Democratic breast,
From North to South from East to Wests
While, mid the fury of the storm,
Defiant stands Young Hiokry's formi
That spirit, reused, will prove its might
When secret Wrong, dragged into light,
BfaAt show the banner that it waves,
Upheld by Abolition Kpares!
Then worthy of lis ancient fame,
Demacracy--undying name l.
taShall broader, higher, stronger grow,
Triumphant DER the skulkng foe
When Greytown bandits buster, bragg
And boot our Envoy and our Flag
Though British guns around us frowp
The iron hail we thunder down;
For, as in Kosnta's case, we claim
Respect for those who bear name
And they must have it--ey rywhere-
While PIERcE adorns the Nations Chair
Our Flag in ev'ry cline shall be
The Freeman's starry panoply--
It's ustrous presence light his path,
And flash contempt at despot wrath
No matter what the tyrants say,
Our Agents have the fright of way
And when they want TO Tourney through
As Scule did,-,ceH Gee they dol
By treaty, rich Japan unbars
