for liberty; but, when won, all has degenera-
ted into righteousness. In lieu OF law, there
WAS general disorder, SO that the people them

the verv despOtisms they had been overthrow

ted an instinct in the bosom OF every man
which next to his family, makes him love his
own country, his own home, above all other
lands and countries. /" Home, sweet home,
there is no place ike home,' is the some. not
only Of our own language but Of all the Ian

Breathes there man with soul SO dead,
Who never to himself hath said.
This is my own, my native landi
Whose heart hath nc'vc within him burn'd
As homs his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on u foreign strand;
Il such there breathe, 50, make hun well
He, doubly dying. shall 60 down
To the vile dust from whence be sprung,
Unwept, anhonord, and unsung.
No German, no lrshman, can ever forget
tie hills and valleys where first his eyes open
ed on the sunlight of heaven; where first he
heard the sweet music of the birds; where hrst
he was Graded in his mother's arms. Go
among the Germans 90 into their lager beer
saloons: among their Sangerbunde, their
sl@nnercere-and the first songs you hear,
are songs TO the Fatherand, /" Mein Herzist

Rhine is my heart"

They faith and love how true!
Thou noble land Thou lovely land
We SWEAR 70 thee anew.
These sentiments oI love and affection for
the fatherland are as the old as the Bible,
aud written and rewritten in the Latin and
Greek classics. in all forms. "Mutantanimam,
non claum oui trans mare currunt,' IS a
maxim AID motto. Virgil draws the pic

These are feelings, affections, sympathies,
which every good man, in every condition,
high or low, in ail countries, has for the land
Of his birth: and repeatit, that the foreigner
