4 GERMAN VTCT0R-SONG.
BY HENRY O'RIELLY.

I.
Through all your States, Old Fatherland
From Rhinewald to North Sea,
Let all rejoice in one strong voice,
For German Victory
For UNITY, in peace and war
For homes secure and free
For. all the blessings UNION brings
To brave old Germany.
CHORUS.
And in the song of jubilee
Let Germans all combine
From Elbe, Oder WeSer-
From Baltic to the Rhine.
No foreign foe your land alarms,
Or threats invading war
For triumph crown'd the German arms
On Rhine, MOselle, and Saar;
And. in rcSenting French attack
Your flag was bravely borne
Triumphantly in many rights
Der Meuse, the Seine, and Marine.
The lessons taught in battles fought
Now show invaders all
That Germans for ALL Fatherland
VIII bravely stand or fall
That, one and all. at cOuntTy's call,
To battle in their might,
Gemania's sons quick seize their guns,
And fight for German Right.
".
The seas protect us on the North
We want no foreign land
On Rhine our South " defense shall be
For dear old Fatherland.
Come veal or wo, whate'er betide,
That frontier shall be thine
Wen always freely fight or fall,
To vindicate ,he Rhine.
We covet not our neighbor'S soil
But must be "lct alOnew
And, though cOmpell'd to conquer France
We seek but for our own -
We only ask for Germany
Its rights OF soil and reign,
With restitution QOng-deferredD
OF Alsace and Lorraine.
No EAST" or West" no "South' or North,
Now rends our Fatherland =
In peace or war, "united all,'
The Germans firmly stand.
Foul foreign schemes and foreign arms
Too long our land aSSaird-
But German Unity" thank GOdl
Has now at last prevaird.

And in the strain of Victory
All German hearts unite:
Through all the world our EXiles
Have watchd our sturdy fight:
Their cheering tones, from distant zones,
Ring clearly DER the sea,
Now mingling with our hearty prayr-
God bless Old Germany
(CHORUS.)
Now in the song of jubilee
Let Germans all combine
From Elbe, Oder, WeseT-
From Baltic to the Rhine
For UNITY in Peace and War
For Homes secure and free
For all the blessings UNION brings

CONSCIENCE.

What is so delightful as the voice Of
an approving conscience? Happiness
consists not in the indulgence of appe-
tite, or in fitful bursts of emotion. 1t
is not when the pulse beats high and
tho check is suffused with an unnatural
bloom, and the eye beams with all un-
earthly fire, that pure aud permanent
Happiness is enjoyed. The state of mind
necessary to this, is best expressed by
the term peace, that pearl which aa ap-
proving conscience gives. This can be
DESTROYED only by violation of duty.
Enemies may attack us, friends may
prove faithloss, Affections may befall us
from without, still there are whispers of
consolation within. The storm of ad-
vcrsity may roll over US, yet on the
bosom of the darkest cloud conscience
paints the rainbow of peace.

THE SITUATION.

The difference between the men and the
women Of our country, in their ability
to appreciate the political, civil and
domestic situation is remarkable. Here
is a nan who discusses estate rights
with freshness which reminds us OF
the olden times, when the States had
rights to discuss, and to defend.
1t seems to us rather late
when rights. influence, wealth
and strength arc all gone, to
cxpend breath, thought; time aud argu-
ment on question which is necessarily
obsolete. This class of persons, seem
to US, as though they had been iudulg-
ing a rip -winklc sleep for years ana
had just walked up, that the past had
taught nothing and they are oblivions
| to the present.
Another speaks with indignation OF
the political condition Of the country,
! and declares hc has not voted since the
war, nor will vote until things get
in better condition. We do not say
anything, but wc cannot help thinking.
that this is ra;hcra pour way to improve
matters.
Another is making q terrible growl
at the heavy taxation, upon an i'm
mensc body of land, which he cannot
plant, and which yields him nothing
but which he retains in hope that
Chinese labor will at some future time
make available. OF course it is useless
to say anything to him. lIc has his
theory, and he Knows how to grumblc
and we will not Interfere with his
pleasure. 1t is useless to attempt to
argue the situation with these classes
| of persons, their minds arc as impcrvi-
GUS to reason as the hide Of u rhinoccros
to bird shot
How different it is with our women.
They seem to have taken q common
sense view OF things and really under.
stand the situation. With domestic labor

siblc to command the services of do.
