And who does not love her-fair Columbla-as
to-day, calm and beautiful, she receives the homage,
of enthusiastic millions? Pale she is, her heart
vet bleeding over her slaughtered sons. But the
stamp of triumphant heroism is Oh her brow. she
takes her seat, by right, on the pyramid OF immor-
tality. Her parentage was divine. her Patrllnony
such as no nation ever before received from inc
Father of all. She dreamed beside the Magnlhceht
lakes and rivers of her own America, till now she
is called forth to be the Mistress among nations.
She still loves to roam the wild wood and broad
savannah, but she will not turn from the wonder

pressed-which her God has prepared for hr ~
History's Palace.
Mistress of our hearts, Fairest vision that ever
dawned on earth, We hail thee to-day with tsf
wild Jubilee of enraptured love!
