Liberty and Union, Now and Forever,
one and Inseperable1
BY MRS. ]. j. MONELL.

Ye would sever the Union-but can ye undo
The relation of brother to brother2
Ye may coldly regard him, and SANDER him TO
But when sorrow o'ertakes him, your heart
will be true
To the love ye once bore him, when together
ye grew.
In peace by the side of your mother
Ye would sever the Union-bnt can ye untwine
The numberless ties that have bound you ?
Like the threads of creeping and delicatevine,
They have silently spread, in the rain and in
the shine,
Till, when ye would burst them, each gossamer
Turns to cord and to cable'' around you !!
Ye wogld sever the Union-whatl ye who were
nursed s
In the arms of so holy Mother :?
Would ye dare to pronounce her astray and
accursed,
Who rocked you to sleep in one cradle at first
Who shielded your head from the storm when
it burst
And never gave the charge to another
Ye would sever the Union-but can ye forget
How your Fathers, stood shoulder to shoul-
der?
How like one, in privation, their stern hearts
were set,
How like one, in the conflict, our foemen they
met.
How like one, they melted by sorrow. and yet
How in danger grew bolder and bolder.
Ye would sever the Union-but will ye divide
The flag of our freedom and glory?
It waved DER the field where our forefathers
died
Their children unfurled it with reverend pride /;
And whose shall the task be to throw it aside,
And tell the sad nations the story
Ye would sever the UniOn-but who then shall
The grave of our country's defender2
Will the North and the South fan the fuel to
fame.
And fight Ger has ashes, whose glorious name
As watchword of Liberty, Justice'and Fame,
We would su sooner die than surrender
Ye would sever the Union but wo to the day
When ye mingle in council no longer
What shall keep rulers from deadly affray
What love shall be potent the people to sway
Ye shall find yourselves powerless the torrents
to sway,
Of hate and the right of the stronger!
Ye would sever the Union-our Union and
why?
Short and few are the words of the reasonl
The North thinks the South should adjure sla-
The South thinks the North does not tenderly
To view ell her deeds with unprejudiced eye,
And each finds q refuge in-TREAsoN!
Judge not, that ye be not judged. ."-Leaye
unto G
The right Of condemning your brother;
Until like an owner, ye stand on his sod F.;
Until your feet in his pathway have trod;
Uutil you are scourged, both alike, by the rod,
Never dare to pronounce on another.
But cherish the Union-with heart and hand,
As ye cherish your home and your altar
Through the length aud the breadth Of our
wide-spreading land,
Alone by the eye of omnipotence spanned,
Rise up on your strength, and the craven with
stand,
Who dares to dissemble and falter!
Ifye sever the Union, then Liberty dies,
To restore her-in vain they endeavor
She will soar to yon distant and cloud-mantled
skies;
And in vain will the world lift its questioning
eyes
She will not be moved by rs grief or surprise !;
Once mute, she is silent forever!

MY BROTHERS GEOST-STORY.
AS TOLD To TIE CLUB.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

Mine, is my brothers Ghost Story. 1t
happened to my brother about thirty years
ago, while he was wandering, sketchbook
in hand, among the High Alps, picking up
subjects for an illustrated work on Switzer-
land. Having entered the Oberland by
the Brunig Pass, and filing his portfolio
with what he used to call bits from the
neighborhood of Meyringen, he went over
the Great Scheideck to Grindlewald,
where he arrived one dusky September
evening, about three quarters of an hour
after sunset There had been a fair there
that day, and the place was crowded. In
the best inn there was not an inch of
space to spare-there we're only two inns
at Grindlewald thirty years ago-so my
brother went to one at the end of the COW
cred bridge next the church. and there,
with some difficulty, obtained the promise
of pile of rags aud a matrass in room
which was already occupied by three other
travellers. The Adler was primitive hos
telry, half farm, half inn, with great ram
bling galleries outside, and huge general
room, ike barn. At the upper end of
this room stood long stoves, like metal
counters, laden with steaming pans, and
glowing underneath like furnaces. At the
lower end, smoking, supping and chatting.
we're congregated some thirty or forty
guests, chiefly mountaineers, chardriEors
and guides. Among these my brother
took his seat, and was served. ike the rest,
with bowl cf soup, platter of beef, a
faeon of country wine. and a loaf made of
Indian corn. Presently huge St. Ber-
nard dog came and laid bis nose upon my
brcther's arm In the mean time he fell
into conversation with two Italian youths,
bronzed and dark-eyed. rear whom he hap
pened to be seated. They were Floren-
tines. Their names, they told him, were
Stefano and Battisto. They had been trav-
cling for some months on commission, sell
ing canoes, mosaics. sulpher casts, and
the ike pretty Italian trifes, and were
now on their way to Interlaken and Gene
va. Weary of the cold North, they longed
like children, for the moment which should
take them back to their own blue bills and
cray-green olives; to their workshop on
the Ponte Veecbio. and their home down
hy the Arno.

NUMBER SO.

all the mourning that he innocently
brought upon that peaceful valley. Poor
Marie has been dead this many year -
and when my brother last passed through
the Kander Thai on his way to the Chem
mi, he saw her grave, beside the grave of
Chrs;ien Baumann. in the village burial
ground. This is my brothers. Ghost Story.
