THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When Freedom from her mountain height
Uniurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night
And set the stars of glory there
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrie of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings Of the morning light,
Then, from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosen land
Majestic monarch Of the cloud
Who rear st alolt thy regal form
To hear the tempest.trumpings loud
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors Of the storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum Of heaven
Child Of the Sun 10 thee lis given
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
TO ward away the battle.strc,:e,
Aud bid its blendings shine aiar,
Like rainbows on the cloud Of war,
The harbinger Of victory!
Flag OF the brave thy folds shall fly,
The sign ofhope aud triumph highl
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long lire comes cleaning on,
Ere vet the life blood, warm and wet,
Has dlmmed the glistening bayonct,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky.born glories burn,
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from his glance.
And when the eonnon.mouthing loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
Aud CORY sabres rise and fall
Like shoots Of flame on midnight's pail
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall shrink ben cath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
Tha! lovely messenger Of death.
Flag of the soas on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave
When death careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frightened waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's Keeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag Of the free hearts hope and home,
By angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkiu dome,
Aud all thy hues were born in freayen
Forever float that standard sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls before US
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom banner streaming o or us
Above the head of the young lad
who personated the Goddess Of Liberty

The officers Of the War Department,
preparatory 10 assuming control Of the
same under the late act Of Congress,
has already resulted in tho discovery
Of gross irregularities. Among the
FIRST items inquired into was that in
relation to the hospital fund A year
ago, Congress appropriated $4,000 to
be used exclusively for hospital pur,
poses. The officers Of the Bureau,
however, Instead OF keeping it separate,
Jumped the amount with the other funds
Of the Bureau, and used the whole for
general purposes, including the expense
of sustaining Howard University. The
result is that the hospital fund cannot
be accounted for. 1t has also trans.
PRED that the hospital owes $50 600 to
the Commissary Department for sup,

been paid out Of the fund above referred
to. In view Of this discovery, the Wal

HOW THE BELL RANG.
July Urn 1875.

There was a tumult in the city
In the quaint old Quaker town,
Aud the streets were black with people,
Pacing restless up and down,
People gathering on corners.
Where they whispered each TO each,-
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With the earnestness Of speech.
As the black Atlantic currents
Lash the wild New Foundland shore,
SO they beat against the State House,
So they surged against its door;
And the mingling Of their voices
Made harmony profound,
Till the quiet street Of Chestnut
Was all turbulent with sound.
''WilI they do it?' ''Dare they do it ~
"Who is speaking?" .What's the news?'
''What of Adams ~ "what of Carroll 2
sob God grant they won't refuse ~
"Mnke some way therelm ''Let me nearerl'
ri am s;iaingr' "StiHe theni-
When nations life at hazard
We've no time to think Of men ~
So they beat against the portal,
Man and woman, maid and child
And the July sun in Heaven,
On the crowd looked down and smiled.
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot.blood in vain,
Now beheld the Soul of Freedom,
All uneonquered, rise again
So they beat against the portal
While all solemnly inside
The delegates to Congress,
With but reason for their guide,
Ger simple scroll debated,
Which, though simple it might be,
Could shake the cliffs Of England,
With thunders Of the Free.
At the portal of the State House,
Like some beacon in storm
Round which waves are wildly beating,
Stood a slender, boyish form,
With his eyes fixed on the steeple
Aud his ears agape with greed,
To catch the first announcement
OF the signing Of the deed.
Alolt in that high steeple
Sat the Bellman old and gray,
lie was sick Of British power,
lie was sick Of British pay
So he sat with lean hand ready
On the clspper Of the bell,
When signaled from the portal
The happy news TO tell.
See, see the black erowed shigers
Through all its lengthy line,
As the boy upon the portal
Looks up and gives the sign;
And ssraightway at the signal
The old Bellman lifts bis hand,
And sends the good news waking
Iron music through the land
How they shouted what rejoicingi
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang Of Freedom rufiled
The calm, gliding Delawarel
1 How the bonfres and She torches
lllumed the nights repose,
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Slaughtered Liberty aroseg
The old bell now Is silent,
And hnshed its iron tongue,
But the spirit 1t awakened
Still lives forever young.
And while we breathe the sunlight,
On the Fourth Of this July,
| Let US not forget the Bellmau,
Who, 'twixt the earth and sky,
Rang out our Independence,
Which, please God, shall never die !
