ynscribsd to Abr ham Lincoln.
BY RoBElr BEREsroRp.

The Patriot stood upon q mount
That scoped his country Ger,
Whence faithful, valuing eyes might count
Each hight and sloping shore;
The heavens were blue, .he air serene,
The rivers brightly fowcd,
And peace aud rest throughout the scene
Its power and safety showed.
He saw the bright auroral North,
The land where Freedom rose,
The soil where best was known her worth,
Where aye WAS check'd her foes:
"Land OF my ancestors" cried he,
Land whence the free went forth,
Where men first struck for Liberty,
Ny own unconquered North
He turned him to the glittering East,
Where glowed the rising light.
And saw the oceans wavy breast
With white winged squadrons dight;
Saw venturers crowd from every land
The greatest and the least
And proudly owned his native strand,
The rich. the princely East.
lie beheld the sunIit South,
And here be fingered long.
And glowing accents from his mouth
Assumed the voice of song:
"Chivarious brethren of the brave,
Part OF the common worth,
| love you, and your love | crave.
Sons of the glorious South"
Now On his brow the golden West
Poured down its richest glow:
Behold his manly, generous breast
Big quick pulses grow:
''Of this great whole, thou precious part,
My homestead and my b,s,,
Thou, the hast much, not all my heart,
Thou VIDE aud wealthy west!
"On dread Niagara's bank tread
BY gulf, by lake. by SEA,
Ny sovereign, grateful hands spread
To Heaven Tor Liberty.
Tau, ali around, my country lies,
Ami, clrciing with the sun,
Its radiant stars to patriot eyes
Converge all into One"'
