Four years ago wars dread alarm was heard
Where bells OF peace rang out each golden day;
And cheeks grew pale while Spartan valo7 stirred
New Englands SONS to join the stern array.
No ire of kings evoked the shield and spear,
Nor Albion's naughty standard as Of yoro
Revealed mid fires of Lexington, how dear
heritage fair Freedom had in store.
But Treason in our own our vaunted home,
With serpent coil cntwined Nations life,
md startled millions when the booming guns
OF Sumter pealed, rose eager for the strife.
Columbia. blush not at the record now
The fond embrace in homes on hill and dell,
The hidden grief that countless souls would how
While grievcring lips were nervel to smile farewell
The bugle strain the tented fields that spread
Beneath the bending heaven their lines of light,
The storms that dyed the wintry hills with red,
The fading eyes that yearned for victory's light.
The Right, how strong Four times the summer
Had hlushed in grace beside the cottage door,
Four times the leaves dropped down, and spring
soft hours
With balm and hope, our stricken land passed Ger
-Four years, the angel saith that keeps the scroll
Of passing time, aNering and plain,
Shone starry nights like Bcthehens of old
And calm noontides upon the fields Of slain.
We prayed for peace, and bent with throbbing
heart
To hear its voice upon the midnight gale,
We saw from household shrine, the jo, depar',
And wcpt that tender arms Of strength should fail.
Peace came. 'Tis ours for when the bondman ;
shout
With hallelujahs swept thu echong dome,
When the baptismal tide of blood washed ont
The stain long npon our honor thrown.
The weary white-wingcl dove a resting iounl.
And JOY sat down within the chcckered shade,
Triumphant music woke a welcome sound
While conqucring heroes shcathed the broken blade
And flowers were strewn within the warriors way,
And arms of love embodied all the band
Who brought the tattered flag once more to say
/
| The yellow autumn leaves shine on the hills,
| 4 pensive beauty ills the quiet air
No muflled drum or hulrying tootstep thrills
When sabbath bells ring out the call to PRAYER.
Calm is the sunlight Of this blessed hour
That hears the voice of revcc no more,
That gives unsparing Plenty's golden dover
And owns Nation free folevcrmore
Bear back We listening skies a welcome hymn,
With gold and crimson greet the royal guest
Who bids the sabre, and the cannon dim
! To plUughshares meath the anvil stroke he prest
To Freedom dedicate our shrine shall be,
Alike on cotton plain and snow clad hill;
And none shall bow to aught Of chivalry
Save that alone the truest life can fill.
No other flag. oh land Of peace but thine
That DER the wreck Of empires still shall be
No song but this our countrv's harp shall twine
'All hail America, home Of the free "

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN THE SOUTH.-If
the Northern negro, says the \. Y.
Times, who has always been free, and
had OPPORTUNITIES for mental improve
ment, is deemed unfit to vote by the
Northern States, they are ia no position
TO insist that the Southern negro, whose
faculties have been kept dwarfed and be-
nighted 10y lifelong slavery, shall be ad-
mitted to the Southern polls. The alb
straet question whether the black man
ought TO be allowed to vote has nothing
Ia DO with the ease. The point is, that
anil We Of the North establish that suff-
rage for ourselves, we have no right to
force il upon Others. The Divine apoth-
egm, Physician, heal myself" would
confound Us the very FIST instant We
should undertake TO deal witha constitu-
tionai amendment on this subject, relat-
ing TO the late insurrectionary States.
There is no way but to leave this matter
where the Constitution left it, to the dis
erection Of each individual State. No C
ton by Congress upon the subject Of ne
1ro suffrage can haveany practical result.
All talk about it Is u~nwarrantable, be-
cause it is morally certain that nothing
substantial can come from ii, and it is
only calculated 10 delay reconstruction
unnecessarily.
