A PATRIOTIC HYMN.

From the kHckcfhockcr Magazine
A PATRIOTIC HYMN.
New England mountains, Texan plains,
Virginia slopes, Nebraska valesl
One noble language breathes its strains
Along the freedom Of your gales
One mighty heart pulsntcs beside
The rolling of your every tide.
One patriot glory spreadeth white
Seraphc wings above your past,
And rainbows in eternal light
The costly blood which showored fast
On the battle-fclds of ancient time,
When love Of country was crime.
Heroic memories strike their root
Along your every Hill and shore;
And not a flower beneath your foot
But burgcons proudly from the gore
OF noble breasts, which calmly met
Tho charging foeman's bayonet
The echoes of cid battles roll
In thunder down your cataracts,
And utter startlingly the soul
Uf glorious times and dcathless acts:
The changcless sun-bow waveth there
Your stripes along is nftive air
A dcathless rush of crimson rlls
Through spectral ranks runs steeply down
New England's first Of battle-hills,
By Freedoms sickle hercely mown;
And echoes, even to our veins,
But family worthy Of such strains.
The ice upon the Delaware
Still trcmbles meath unshodlen feet,
Which over-track its chilly glare
With cc-blood oozing through the slect,
The footballs Of Il race Of men
Whose like We shall not see again.
The horn of MARIoS echoes clear
Through Cardinals aged pines,
Whose every dew-drop, like a tear,
Is dashed aside by bannered vines;
Which, faithless Of the hero's fall,
Still yibrate to his battle-call.
The heart of MERCER breatheth yet
Through every foot Of Trenton's clay,
MoSTGoNERY's last liie-blood wet
The snow-drifts Of Northern day:
These stains have melted from the snow,
But will not from our memories go.
The vivid thought Of FRASKLIS beams
In every lightning-glare that flies
Above our zone trayersing streams;
Along our ocean-bounded skies;
And bids us open reyerent souls
To truths eternal thunder-rolls.
Mount-Vernon bosoms in its sod
That generations noblest heart,
Whom Greece had shrined demi-god,

short lime he began to feel sick, and before help

medical assistance he was restored. His moth
