STARS AND STRIPES

STARS AND STRIPES
The flag of the United States
This flag was adopted by act Of Con-
gress on the 14th of June, 1777, in the
following words
Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen
United Colonies be thirteen stripes, alter
ntely red and white that the Union be
thirteen stars, white in blue field, repre-
senting new constellation
1t has been thought that the arms of
Washington may have suggested the idea
for the American flag. These arms con-
tain three stars in the upper portion, and
three bars running across the escutcheon.
Other flags were used at different times
during the revolution, which are described
by Mr.. T. Westcott, Of Philadelphia, in
communication to the London Notes and
Queries, part 852, p. 10.
In March, 1775, union flag with a
red field was hoi.ted at New York, bear
ing the inscription George Rex and the
liberties of America" and upon the re-
verse " No Popery" On the 18th, July,
177S, Gen. Putnam raised, at Prospect
Hill, flag bearing on one side the Con-
necticut motto On, transtun sustlnef,
on the other " An appeal to Heaven" In
October of the same year the floating bat
teries at Boston had flag with the latter
motto, the field white with pine tree up
on it.-This was the Massachusetts en-
bem. Another flag, was used during
1775 in some of the colonies, had upon
it a rattlesnake coiled as if about to strike
with the motto, Don't tread on me-" The
grand union flag of thirteen stripes was
raised on the heights near Boston Jan. 2,
l776. The British Annual Register OF
1776, says: They burnt the Kings
speech and changed their colors from a
red ground, which they had hitherto used
to a flag with thirteen stripes, as SYM
Dol of the number and union Of the colo
MES" The idea of making each stripe for
a State was adopted from the first and
the fact goes far to negative, the srpposi'
ton that the private arms of General
Washington had anything to do with the
subject. The pine tree, the rattlesnake
and the striped flag were used indiscrim.
inately until July, l777, when the blue
union with the stars were added to the
stripes, and the flag established by law.
Formerly, a new stripe was added for
each new State admitted to the Union,
until the flag became too large, when by
act Of Congress the stripes were reduced
to the old thirteen and now a star is ad.
ded to the union on the accession of each
new State.

For the Register.
The Might.
The calm, the stately, solmn night
Stoops o'er us from above,
She binds us with holy spell,
She clasps us in her love.
The twiIighi-whispers through the leaves
Glide softly to our ears
We start, and list, and think VIC hear
The music of departed years.
The dropping flower that at our feet
Bends to its silent prayer,
Speaks to the spirit trembling,
That the holy, the unseen, are near.
Lift thou us upward, calm thoughtful Night,
Bid thou our spirits be free;
Let us be purer, when glows the light
For the teachings, the presence of thee
