likely to be done, to enable him to free
himself from prison, and from the suspi

very good success, and travelled consider

patronize them, else they might have been

places of interest, with carriages at their
disposal to ride wherever they desired. In

POETRY.
THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When Freedom, from her mountain height,
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stats of glory there!
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrc oe the skies
And striped its pure, celestial white
With streakings of the morning light
Then from has mansion in the sun,
She called her eaGle-he lrer lown,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land!
Majestic monarch of the cloud!
Who rearst aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest tr;lmpin 8 loud
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm
And rolls the thunder-drum of heaycn,-
Child of the Sun to thee t is given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur Ike,
To ward away the battle-stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war.
The harbingers of victory!
Flag Of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph hight
When speaks the signal-trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere yet the life-bood, warm and wet.
Has dimmed the glistening bavonet,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-horn glories burn.
And. as his springing steps advl nee,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance
And when the cannon mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud.
And gorv sahres rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on mdni .ht's pail,
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering fo.s shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm thlt strikes betos
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seas on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave;
When death. clreering on the gale,
Sweeps darky ronnd the hellied SAIL
And frighted waves rnsh wildly back
Before the broads de's ree!ing 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 t, valor given.
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were horn in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming DER us!
