THE sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER.
BY FRANCIS 8. KEY.

Oh say. can you see 6y the dawnS early light,
What 80 proudly we hailed at the twiligLt's last
gl-aning-
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the
peTilOuS fight.
o'er the ramparts we watched, we're so gallantly
dreaming
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in
air,
Gave proof through the nisht that our flag was
s'ill there;
0 say does he Star-Spangled Banner still wave
Oer the land OF the free and the home Of the brave
On that shore dinly seen through the mists Of the
deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence
rep ses,
What is that which the breeze, DER the towering
As it titfui, b,on. ,oa coureals, now discloses,
Now 1t catches e sicam Of The mornings first
beam,
In full glory rehec ed shines on the stream
'Tis the star Spths led Banner, o long may il wave
or th" Land OF the Tree, and the home Of the
brave.
Ard whore is that band who so vanntingly swore
That the havoc ut war aud the battles confusion

No refuge could save the hircliu2 and slave

"Cn1er the auspices and direction Of

moved to the wildS aud wilderness Of
America. BY their industry. they uadc
it frnitful-and by their virtue, happy
country. And We should still have en-
j"yed the bleS ingS Of peace aud plenty,
f We had not forgotten the source from
which these blessings flowed; AID per-
mtted our country to be contaminated bv
the many shameful vices which have pre-
vailed among US.
q 1t is well known truth, that no vir-
tuous people were ever oppressed; and it
is also true, that Sc0urge was never
wanting to those Of an opposite character.
Even the jews, those favouritrs Of Heav.
en-, met with the frownS, whenever they
forgot the smiles of their benevolent
Creatur. BY tyrants OF Egypt, OF Baby.
lon, Of Syria. and Of Rome, they were se-
verely chasIiSed; and those tyrantS them
selves when they had executed the ven-
geance of Almighty God, their own
crimes bursting on their own heads, re.
ceived the rewards justly due to their vi.

Who that visited the Presidents house

Irish dOorkceprrP Jenny was kind
hearted, but blunt in his manner; so
much 20 on some occasions as to appear
rude if not insulting. Often one might
ring the bell time after time, and no
Jenny make his appearance. There
was particular cause for Jemmy's ap-
parent rudenesS aud occasional absence.
Calling one day, upon business, rang
the bell repeatedly, but no doorkeeper
appeared. AS had done before under
like circumstances, opened the door and
walked up stairs to the Presidents office.
There found the General and Major
Donnelson. Presently the bell rang
again, again, and again. " Where can
Jenny be !" asked the General. "Druuk,
most likely" replied Major Donelson.
| then stated that had not been able to
raise him, though had rung until was
casion. Major Donnrlson then observed
that this difficulty was now OF almost
daily recurrence ; that he had, on several
occasions, found Jenny in his room whoi-
ly unable to get to the door; that when
not so disabled, his conduct toward visit
ers was often, from his peculiar situation,
anything bnt polite or respectful and he
expressed the opinion in very decided
terms, that more suitable person should
be entrusted with that duty. "Well,
WELL" said the General, tive cannot bear
it any longer; tell Jenny he must find a
home elsewhere"
Again and again called, and Jenny
still presented his rubicund face at the

better in future if he could be forgiven

WASHINGTON,
The defend, r of his country, the founder
of liberty, the friend Of man. History
and tradition are explored in vain for a
parallel to his Clearwater. nthe QnnalS nf
modern greatness, he stands alone; and
the noblc>t name" of antiquity lose their
lustrc in his presence. Born the ben, fac
tor Of mankind, he united all the qualities
necessary to an illuStr0uS career. Ma.
ture made him great; he made himself
virtuouS. Called by his country to the
defence Of her liberties, he trinmphantly
vindcated the rights Of humanity; and
on the pillars Of National Independence,
laid the foundation Of a great republic.
Twice invested with supreme magiStracy
by the voice of free paople, he surpassed
in the cabinet the glories Of the field; and
Voluntarily resigning the sccptre and the
sword, retired to the shades Of private life.
a spectacle so new and so sublime was
contemplated with the most profound ad-
miration; and the name of Washington,
adding new lustre tn humanity, resounded
to the remotest regions Of the earth..-
MagnanlmOuS in youth, glorious through
life, and great in death. His highest am
bition the happiness of mankind; his no.
blcst victory the conquest of himself
BcqueathinG to poStcrity the inheritance
Of his fame, and building his monument
in the hearts Of his countrymen, he lived,
the ornament Of the eighteenth century
he died, regretted by mourning world.

MAXMs FOR llUSBANDs.--Resolve in the
morning to be patient and cheerful all
day. Laugh heartily on finding all the
buttons Of your shirts as usual. Say,
merrily, " Boys will be boys" when you
discover that the children have emptied
the contents of the water jug into your
boots. On gashing your chin with the
razor, remember that beauty is but skin
deep and, in order to divert your tho'ts
from the pain, recite a speech from Ham
let, or indulge in one of the harmonies of
your native land. If breakfast is not
ready for you, chuckIe and grin pleasant
ly at the servants think that a merry
heart is a continual feast, and depart to
your daily business, imagining yourself

what They Threatened.

1t may afford our readers some amusement to
read what was thought and said by the Copper
heads before the election. The following Is an
extract from letter written at Columbus, Oct.
9th, to the Chicago Times:
"The Democracy of Ohio appreciate as fully
as you do in Illinois, in Indiana, in Iowa, ia
Wisconsin, the necessity of earnest, vigilant
work Your minds are not more deeply inn
pressed with the dignity of this struggle than
are theirs. And while they arc making giant
efforts to retain their rights peaceably, their eyes
are turned across the State and over the lake.
looking to where their noble candidate sits In
exile beneath the British flag waiting and
watching calm, hopeful and confident. They
will bring him back, And when he comes back,
they viii do what they should have done long
ago, when Ambrose II. Burnside sent his armed
mlnlons to outrage human lberty--they viii
protect aud defend their fellow citizens with
their stern strong arms and at the hazard of
their lives. speak advisedly when inform
you that the democratic masses are arouscd.---
They are terribly in earnest. They viii no
longer disgracefully submit. nor will armed in,
terference and military nsolenee at the polls
next Tuesday be tolerated in one single locality.
If the administration shall elect the ordeal Of
civil strife, then viii the streets af every city in
Ohio run rivers Of blood, drawn from the breasts
Of men who have sold their manhood 10 tyran-
ny's behests."
IN the above, our readers can realize TO some
extent, the danger we have escaped.
