"Dr. ii, the pastor of an Orthodox church,

exclusion OF those whose remarks had a

for any brother to give an exhortation,' had
always a secret dread of the loquacious mem

Is the old spirit dead! Are we broken and weak
That cravens shamelessly liff the white cheek
To court the swift Insult, nor blush at the blow,

See Anarchy smiles at the Peace which they ask,
And the eyes Of Dsunon flash out through the mask
Give thanks ye brave boys, who by vale and by crag
Bear onward, unfaltering, our noble old flag,
Strong arms Of the Union, heroes living and dead.
For the blood Of your valor is uselessy she'd
