MY 81 tho Constitution. A patriotism suf-
nclcntly broad to embrace both sections
has been IFS only guide, and it refers now
with honest pride to it's record to show
that it has not turned to the right or the

power. True to it's principles as THi,
NEWS has been through the reign OF ter

honesty and independence for the future.
The political transition of the present
day opens to THE NEWS new and wider

OF sectional amity, it occupies position
which makes it the fitting mediator in

And by thy genial powers,
Bid on each spot in beauty spring
A sisterhood Of flowers.
No marble slab nor craven stone
Their nournful deeds to tell:

Where they with glory fell,
Their names sbaA yet a herald find
In every tongue Of fame,
When valley stream aud minstrel voice
Shah swell with loud acclaim.
The ivy let entwine
It's tendrils there, and there be get
The myrtle and the vine;

And angels wandering down from Heaven
VIII love the spot We trace.
And o'er the land like autumn leaves
Borne on the wailing blast,
Theylie witt, no nlcmcntoes raised
To link them with the past;
Then bid the sculptured stone renew
The story Of their fame
Some monument to after time
Their gallant deeds proclaim.
Bring flowers 10 deck each patriot grave.
And bless the vernal sod
Where sleep those fallen ones, whose ,iccds
Arewritten with their God;
Place the white stone above each head!
The sacred spot enclose,
That no invading step may break
