"MANY IN ONE"

In that nag py our country uhlurla'
Aad the stripes that are swelling in majesty
there,
Like rainbow adjoining the world
Their lights are unsullisd as those in the sky,
BY a deed that our fathers have done,
Aad they're leagued in as true and as hely tie
In their motto of many in one
Frem the hour when those patriots fsarlessly
fuHg
That banner of starlight abroad,
Ever true to themselves, to that motto they
chung,
AS they chung to the promise of God.
And though few were the lights in the gloom
Of that hour,
Yet the hearts That were striking below,
Had God for their bulwark and truth for their
power,
And they stopped net to number the foe.
The oppressed of the earth to that standard
shabby,
Wherever its folds shall be spread,
And the exile shall feel It's his own native sky,
Where its stars shall float over his head.
And those stars shall increase till the tulness
OF time,
It's millions of cycles has run,
III! the world shalt have welcomed its mission
sublime,
And The nations of earth shall be one.
From where eur green mountain-tops blend
with the sky,
Andth giant St. Lawrence is rolled,
To the cline where the balmy Hesperides lie,
Like the dream Of some prophet Of old.
They conquered, and dying bequeathed TO our
care,
Not this boundless dominion alone,
But that banner whose loneliness haows the
air,
And their motto Of Many in One.
The old Allegheny may tower to heaven,
And the father Of waters divide,
The links of our destiny cannot be riven
While the truth Of these words shall abide,
Then ohlet them glow on each helmet and brand
Till our blood like our rivers shall run,
Divide as we may, in our own native lane,
To the rest of the world we are one.
Then up with our flag, let it stream on the air,
Though our fathers are cold in their graves
They had hands thatcould strike, they had souls
that could dare,
And theirson were not born to be slaves,
I. Tn nm with that hammer wharera Il NAV aal
Our millions shall rally around
A nation of freemen that moment shall fall,
When it stars shall be traied on the ground.

was the reply.
But do You wish me TO deliver the sci =
mon, or make the opening prayer, or only 10
make some remarks p

A SHOOTING AND CUTTING AFFRAY.-W
learn that a serious shooting affray occurred
at a ranch on or near Butte Creek, in this
county, few days ago, the particulars OF
which, as near as we can learn, are as fol-
lows: 1t appears that the ownership of the
ranch where the affray occurred, is in dispute
between Messrs Spence d Campbell, on one
side and Messrs Anon Fargo & Stephen
Haynes, on the other The former gentle
men were in possession of the ranch, and,
during their absence, Nessrs Fargo and
Haynes went on to the premises and took pos
session Of their cabin, etc. On the return of
Spence and Campbell, they demanded pos
session of the premises, and, on being refused,
made an attack on Fargo and Haynes, with
knives and pistols. Mr. Haynes was severe
ly, though not dangerously, wounded in the
thigh, with pistol shot. Mr. Fargo re-
ceived a pistol shot in the back, and was
stabbed in the shoulder and arm His wounds
are considered dangerous. We understand
that pistols were fired by Fargo and Haynes,
but without effect The affair will probably
be Investigated by the proper authorities
