THE AMERICAN FLAG.
BY J. &. DRAKE.

When Freedom from her mountain height,
Unfariea her standard to the air
She tore the robe of azure night,
And set the stais Of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baidrick of the skies,
Aud stripped its pure, celestial white
With StTeakiugs of the morning light
Then from its mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle-oesrer down.
And gave INTO his mighty hand,
The symbol of her 81 oseA land
Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rearest sioit thy regal form
To bear The fempest-trsmpings loud,
When strive the warriors Of the storm.
And rolls the thunder drum of heayeF,-
Child Of the sun to thee 'tis given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hove in the sulphur smoke,
TO ward away the battle stroke
And bid IT'S bleudings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers Of yietoryi
Flag Of our country thy folds shall fly,
The sign Of hope and trdmph high
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere vet the life blood, warm and wet
Has dimmed the glittering bayonet;
Each soldiers eve shall brightly tuFa
To where thy sky-bern glories burn
Aud as hls springing steps advance
Catch war and Vengeance from the glance,
And wRen the cannon mounting loud,
Heaye in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And CORY sabfes rise and fan
Like shoots of fame an midnight's pail
Then shall thy meteor glanceS glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger Of death
Flag of the Seas on ocean waves
Thy stars small glitter o'er the brave
When death, careeIiBg on the gale,
Sweeps darkiy round the bellied sail,
And frightened waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy spendors fly
Iu triumph o'er his closing eye.
Flag OF the free heart 5 hope aud home
By angel hands 10 valor given,
Thy stars have lit the weikia dome.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is q constitutional disease a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being IN the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of 1t. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor Ii there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and.
above all. by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it In hereditary In the con-
stitutlon, descending from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the red OF Him who says, II
viii visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood OF corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tnhercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the suriace, cruphons or sores. This foul COR
ruption, which genders iii the blood, depresses
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous consttu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power TO with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which. although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this ,aint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
In this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and. indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter OF all our people are scrofulous
their persons arc invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovats
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in-
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise,
Such medicine we supply in

DAILY MAIL FROM NEVADA TO WAsuoE.-lt
is in contemplation, by the Post Office De-
partment, we understand. to establish a
branch daily mail route, from some point on
the overland route, to Nevada, through the
Henness Pass. The route of the overland
mail, we believe, is through Salt Lake City
and Carson City to Placerville. The people
of Virginia City, though at some distance
from the most direct line of the route, expect
TO have it pass through their locality. Ifnot,
they will, at least, have a daily postal con-
nection with some point on the route proba-
bly, at Carson City. At this moment it is
difficult to determine what point on the over
land route the contemplated mail route from
Nevada, through the Henness Pass, would
intersect The present probability is that its
eastern terminus will be Virginia City.
This arrangement when completed, will
constitute the Nevada post office distrbu-
tor for large portion of the State. north and
west, unless other mail routes, from the in
terror of the State, intersecting the main
overland route should be tablished thro'
the Yuba Gap, Beckwourth's, and other
northern passes. But whether such other
mail routes be established or not, Nevada
will be well satisfied to be placed in daily
communication with the main overland route,
on such a fine road as that through the Hen
ness Pass.
1t is gratifying to state, in view of this
contemplated mail route, that the Henness
Pass Turnpike company will recommence
work on their road, at an early day, and
press it vigorously until completed. The late
severe winter has proved that, by little at
tention and effort, the road can be maintained
in good condition for travelling in the worst
of seasons. A slight change in the location
of portions of the road, through the snow
belt by running it as much as possible on the
north side of the ravine or valley through
which it passes, affording longer exposure
to the rays of the sun, will materially obvi.
ate the difficulties occasioned by winter
storms. The leading men of the company are
well pleased with their prospects and conf
IDENTIFY anticipate that by next fall, the Hen
ness Pass Turnpike will bid defiance to rival
ry on the part of any road across the Sierra
Nevada, now existing or that may hereafter
exist.-NeUadG Transcript
