A THOUSAND YEARS.

ny bAYNRp TAYLOR.
4 thousand years through storm and fire
With VARYING fate, the work has grown,
Till Alexander crowns the spirc
Where Rurk laid the corner. stone.
The chicftain's sword. that could not rust
but bright in constant battle grew,
Raised to the world n thronc august,
Anation grandcr than hc knew.
Nor he alone, but those who have,
Through faith and deed an equal part
The subtle brain of laroslay.
Nhdimir's arm, and Nickon's heart;
The late hands that built so well
The work sublime which these began,
And up frum base to- pinnacle
Wrought out the Empires mighty plan.
All these to-day are crowned Nucw,
And rule. in srlcndor where they trod,
While Russia's children throng to view
Her holy cradle, NovgorOd.
From Nolgas banks, from Dwina's side
From rinc-clad urd. dark and long;
Or where the flaming Tcrpk'S tide
Leaps down from kasbcck bright with song
From Altai's chain of mountain cones,
From Mongulinu deserts far and free,
And lanls that bind through changing zones,
The Eastern and the Western sea
To every race she gives a home.
And crccds and laws enjoy her shade
Till, far beyond the dreams Of Rome,
Her Caesars mandate is Ob'ycd.
She blends the virtues they impart,
And holds, within her life combined,
Ia, f,,t ,,i Ayt, hon
The force of Europc's restless mind
She bids the nomad'S wand'ring cease,
She binds the wild maraudcr fast
Her plowsharcs turn tn homes Of peace
The battlefield Of ages past.
And noblrr far. she dircS to know
It'f lniurc's task NOR knows in vain,
But strikes ~ once the generous blow
That makes her millions men again!
80, frmcr based, her power expands,
Nor yet has seen lis clowning hour,
still teaching to the struggling lands,
That Peace the offspring is OF Power.
Build MP the storicd hrouzc to tell
The steps whereby this hight she tlod--
The thousand years that chronicle
The toll Of man, the help Of God
And may the thousand wears To come
The future ages, wise and free
Still see her flag. and hear her drum,
Across the world, from sea to seal
Still find symbol, stern and grand,
Her ancient eagles strength unshurn,
One head to watch the Western land,
And one To watch the land Of morn!

VOLUNTEERS AND REGULARS. - An old
army officer gives the reason why the regu-
lars endure more fatigue than volunteers.
When marching. if the regular cuts his

night after he eats his rations, his check is
upon his kmapsack and himself in the land

A COMMON TERN BEAUTIFULLY DEFINED
An old soldier in lately appealing to his son
to go and fight for tho Government and the
Union, said
Perhaps you have never thought what
your country means. 1t is all that sur
rounds you = all that has brought you up
and fed you - all that you have loved.
This country that you see these houses.
these trees, those girls who go along there
laughing - this is your country! The
laws protect yom, the bread which pays for
your work, the words you interchange
with others, the joy and grief which come
to yOu from the rsen and things among
which you live this is your country
The little room where you used to see your
mother, the remembrances she has left you,
the earth where she rests - this is your
country! You see it, you breathe it, every
where. Think to yourself of your rights
and duties. your affections alh your wants,
your past and your present blessings !;
write them all under single name - and
that will Re your country, We owe it all
that we are, and he who enjoys the advan-
tage OF having free country and does not
accept tlIe burdens cf it, forfcits his honor,
and is a Bad citizen. DO for your country
wha: you would do for your father and
mother. Iour country is in danger"
