Z pluyibuS Unum.

Though many and brightare the starsth appear,
In that flag by our country unfdrled
And the stripes that are swelling in majesty there,
Like rainbow adorning the world:
Their lights are unsullied - those In the SKY,
BY deed that our fathers have done;
And they're leagued In ~ true and % holy tie,
In their motto of " Many In Onei'
From the hour when those patriots fsarlessly flung,
That banner Of starlight abroad;
Ever true to themselves, to that motto they clung
Az they clung to the promise Of God;
BY the bayonet traced at the midnight Of war,
On the fields where our glory was won;
Oh perish the heart or the hand that would mar,
Our motto of Many in One ~
Mid the smoke of the contest-the cannon's deep
How oft 1t hath gathered renowni
While those stars were reflected in rivers Of gore,
When the cross and the lion went down;
And though few were their lights in the gloom of
that hour,
Yet the hearts that were beating below
Had God for their bulwsrk, and truth for their
power,
And they stopped not to number the foe.
From where our green mountain tops blend with
the sky,
And the giant st. Lawrence is rolled,
To the waves where the balmy Hesperides lie,
Like the dream Of some prophet Of old;
They conquered-and dying bequeathed to our
Not this boundless dominion alone,-
But that banner, whose loveliness halows the air,
And their motto of d" Many in One"
We are many in one, while there glitters star
In the blue of the heavens above;
And tyrants will quail mid their dungeons afar,
When they gaze ON that motto oflove.
It shall CLEAN DER the sea, mid the bolts of the
storm,
Over tempest, and battle, and wreck;
And flame where our guns with their thunder
grow warm,
Meath the bloodon the slippery deck.
The oppressed ofthe ear tothat standard will fly,
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 fulncss Of
time
Its millions of cycles has run
Till the world shall have welcomed its mission
sublime,
And the nations of tho earth shall be one.
Though 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 oh let them glow ON each helmet and brand,
Though our blood, like rivers shall run;
Divide as VIC may in our own native land,
To the rest Of the world We are one.
Then up with our fag-lct it stream on the air,
Though our fathers are cold In their graves;
They had hands that could strike, they had souls
that could dare,
And their sons were not born to be slaves.
Tn, up with that banner, where'cr II may call
Our millions will rally around;
A nation of frccmcn that moment will fall
When its stars shall be trailed on the ground

"UNIoN" HOSPITALITY IN TENNEssEE.
Tho Nashville Banner relates the
following:
A worthy friend from the farming
districts, who occasionly drops in upon
us to get the latest news, relates the
following:
A traveller passing through his neigh
borhood on horseback, stopped at a
modest cottage on the roadside, and
asked for shelter, as it was quite dark
and raining. The "head of the fam
iy" came to the door and accosted the
trader with
"What do you want?"
"I want to stay all night" was the
'S1'yMi 1IMhat arc yers"
This intcrrogatory was not fully un-
dcrstood by the traveller, and he asked
an explanation.
"I mean what's yer politics? ?" re
joined the former. "Air you .fuI this
Union or agin it"
This was q poser, as the traveller
was not certain whether "thc man of
the house was a Union man or Sc
ccssionist, and he was anxious to "tic
up" for the night-so he made up his
mind, and said" My friend, 1 am fol
the Union and Consti-'
"Strangcr, y-c-O-u kin kun in!"
It is needless to add that the traveller
dismountcd, and both man and beast
were Hospitality taken care of for the
night.
