ramp 7ramp- -7ramp."-Burscrs Leonors.
The legion 10 armed for the battle.
The charger is hot for the fray
The thundcrs Of musketry rattle
Yon eagle shall feast on the prey;
Tho corslets like diamond are cleaning,
The standard Of blood is unfurled;
Yes, put the foot down. MIR. Lincoln.
And trample them out Of the world
The hosts Of the West are in motion,
The North sends a ravcnous pack:
Like waves on pitiless ocean,
When the heavens above them are black,
They urge over mountain and prairie,-
Wild billows the tempest has curled:
Yes, put the foot down, Mr.. Lincoln,
And trample them out Of the world
The stars in their courses are silent,
The willows in agony weep,
The wind DER the wave murmurs sadly,
Where the ashes of Washington sleep:
The cypress is shaken with horror,
The glory of morning is furled;
But, put the foot down, Mr.. Lincoln,
And tramplc them out of the world!
".
In the chambers once vocal with music,
And drunk with the eloquent word,
The clarion now screams for the conflict,
And the terrible tocsin is heard;
A torrent is chatting its channel
Where only a rivulet purled:
So put the foot down, MIR. Lincoln,
And trample them out of the world
Weak in the clouds like Antaus,
Strong upon touching the earth.
Stormy as Castor and Pollux.
Twins of olympian BIRTH
Blazing with eyes like the ligh,nines
love at Promethcus hurled
Put the foot down, Mr.. Lincoln.
And trample them out Of the worldi
What though the land is in saekcloth,
" hat though each minstrel is dumb;
And through sweet wyoming's valleys
Echoes the roll of the drum;
What though from city and hamlet
Tears and entreatics are poured;
Put the foot down. Mr.. Lincoln,
elaughtcr the dove with the swordl
Attila, fearful destroyer,
Mcrciless Gcnghis Khan,
Yelled like the sage Of khorassan'
Utter the truculcnt ban;
Bright rs St. George in his arnor.
With bisod.red cross unfurled.
Tralnplc the insolcnt dragon,
Tramplc it out Of the world.
On the rice fields OF fair Carolina
The head Of the matron is bowed;
And the sire takes down the old hint'iocf'
And back the old memories crowd
He thinks of the glory of Sump'sr
The valor Of Marion's men,
And his heart leaps the gulf in an instant
That yawps tween the now and the then.
The daughters Of Georgia are weeping,
Though Ramah's sad voices are s,illcd
For the earliest violets are peeping
Where their lovers hearts blood shall be spill
Her yeoman all chant the bold stanzas
OF tyrants to infamy hurled
sut put the foot down, MIR. Lincoln,
And trampIe them out Of the world
The rangers of Texas are mounting.
And will presently scour the plain;
And, brave for their home and their kindred.
Will cover the field with the slain
Marked you the dark, flashing eye'ball,
Aud the lip that so scornfully curiedf
Then plant the foot firm, Mr.. Lincoln,
And tramplc them out OF the world
Florida, gem Of the ocean,
Bride of the wondering sea,
Through thy sons ardent DEVOTION
Born to be dauDtless and free;
Thy fame is as bright thy coas,land
With diamond shell impearled'
But nut the foot down, MIR. Lincoln,
And tramplc her out Of tho world!
MI.
Soft is thy name, Alabama,
And soft is fiower.laden gale,
Asit breathes DER rustling woodlands,
And whitens the prospered sail.
Like yonder stricken Wild fowl
With bleeding pinion fured,
Thy glory is soon TO be suitten,
Aud tranped out Of the world,

Beautiful Louisiana,
Queen Of the river and plain.
Blooming with verdant savannah,
Rich with the tropical cane;
Over thee floats the proud emblem
Now on the breezss unfurlod,
