employed to carry the balloon to McKeesport.
On nearing McKeesport the crowd increased
in numbers, and in their enthusiasm over the

the carriage and carried her to the hotel,
where the party remained until the arrival
Of the evening boat. During their stay in
MeKeesport the wedding party we're seren-

plunderer and enslaver of mankind. English writ
ers and teachers tell the world that the African is
not fit for liberty, that the trial was made in Jamai-
ca and proved failure; English generals blow
away thousands of Hindoos from cannon, and deem
them beyond the pale of mercy; and English SOL
diers deuge Jamaica with the blood OF innocent
men and women for an offence which, IN America,
would be punished only as it deserved and not by
the wholesale massacre of the inhabitants of
couple of villages.
It may be laid down as rule to which there is
no exception, that whenever race of men conquer
and rob another race, it will SANDER it also. We
know to our cost what the SANDERS of England have
done for us. They have absolutely done us more
evil than the penal laws, for they have prejudiced
people against us who have never seen U.S. or heard
of us, except through the English press, as nation
of vagabonds and cutthroats. The same teachers
who taught others to despise us, taught us to des
pise the negroes. The men who coonized most of
the Southern States, either Identical or con-
temporaneous with the men who first plundered the
East Indies and China; and those who dashed
black men in the South, and those who hung
them to lamp.posts in the North, were only follow
ing out the actions we'll as the teachings Of War
rem Hastings and Lord Give.
Let us then, in the name of Liberty and of Ire
land watch we'll so that no man can hencefofth say
that we are oppressors of the oppressed readers
on the down-trodden. If the black man is, as a
rule, really lower than ourselves in education and
intelligence let us on that account learn to pity and
love him. God forbid that we should deny to 9th
ers that liberty we seek ardently ourselves

When fortune whelmed her thunder loud,
Malignant on my head, vowed
To face the tempest fearless, proud,
And found a balm,
Old friend, within thy perfumed cloud
Till fortune smiled again, and all was calm.
*
When friendships counterfeit grew rust,
And rotten hearts betrayed their trust,
And he whom once loved the most
Paid back to me
Fraternal love in dross and DUST
refuge still, old friend, found in thee.

When manhoods blood coursed through my veins,
l roamed DER Ireland's hills and plains,
I loved her well, mourned her chains,
Her cruel lot;
Your vapor soothed patriots pains,
And Gained my heart while but cured it not.
For who that deemed himself man,
Since this old troublous earth began
To troll through space its mighty span
Of changefu years.
Could see his country meath the ban
OF Tyranny and feel not at her tears
XII.
But come, old friend, I've preached too long,
And mine should be another song,
A freeborn pean loud and strong,
OF happier times,
When right shall be where all is wrong,
And sorrow cease, as I now end my rhymes

The Flag Of the Free.

Flag of the free, we drink to thee
And struggling lands we cry, =" God speed 'em ;
We bless the men of sword and pen,
Who dare to write and die for freedom.
The despot blind, who sought to bind
Mans stubborn soul in sunless prison.
His heart of lust is blackened dust;
The soul TRANSPORTED has arisen
In fifty thousand bosoms risen.
Oh Freedom, child of red war Wild
Born in a cell, nursed on the scafold;
Thy lullabies were dying cries,
Child of travail, beat and baffed.
Thy tameless blood is not subdued,
But, damned by dungeons, fercely RACES
While shine the stars through rents and bars
You trace your soul on crimson pages
To light and guide unborn ages
Dear Liberty, we've watched with thee
The promised dawn which hope foretod thee,
When love should rise in eastern skies,
And in his robes of beauty fold thee.
In dungeons, gray with doubtful day,
We crowned thee in our blacklist sorrow
And some did take, for thy fair sake,
The scaffold smiling ON the morrow
AS to bridal feast the morrow.
And now we stand, in this great land,
Around thee, born of many mothers
Yet, Liberty, we swear to thee
Against all tyrants we are brothers.
Then art our source, we take our course,
Meier to change and meier to falter;
Till gods of stone are overthrown,
And all men worship at thy altar
AS brothers worship at thy altar

Because all earth was black all heaven was blind,
And we cast out of mind;
Because men wept. saying Freedom, knowing of thee
Child, that thou vast not free;
Because wherever blood was not shame
Where thy pure foot did pass;
Because no Promethean rocks distent
The fouer eagles rent
Because serpent stains with slime and foam

In all thy dreams through all these years on wing,
Hast thou dreamed such thing?

The child outgrows the breast;

Ere we twain be as these;

Ere we twain be not one.

I'd choose to be a baby,
A darling little flower,
Without care or sorrow,
As was in childhood's hour.
When ladies' (heaven bless them,)
They'd kiss me and they'd VOW,
That they could almost eat me,
Why don't they do it now.
When 7 used &c be baby.
They'd to my cradle creep,
They'd kiss and hug and chide me,
Till fell Off to sleep.
They'd show me tops and buttons
And if / made a row,
They'd press me to their bosoms,
Why don't they do it now.
When the ladies used to love me,
They'd make me such nice clothes,
They'd make me nice morocco shoes.
. And wipe my little nose.
And when the shades Of evening coma.
And sleep DER spread my brow,
They'd kiss me ood.night adieu,
Why don't they do it now.
