for the Association, having been received b.

person, was read in Il very creditable man
ner by Col w. J. Morris.
When we gaze into Times true mirror,
And see each lengthenng line,
We behold how rapidly he Is weaving
Tissues DER our faces fine.
We know our eyes are colder;
That our cheeks hath color, less
Than when thoughts of growing older
Brought no signs of bitterness
Still the proud old ship--"the Press
Drives on through seas and wrecks,
Rich gems OF thought she's bearing.
And proud footsteps tread her decks.
Let US stand with heads uncovered
Let the din of commerce die"
Till the genius of our Nations freedom,
To the tranquil sea goes by
She Is freighted, and Is sailing
To the port of power fast
Has weathered many tempest,
VIII conquer many blast,
Kuunl her stern black foam Is flashing,
In her tracks the pillows roar;
Yet not sail Is rent or ryen,
For her course is upward evermore.
Speak to her, and bid God speed;
Cheer her to her silvery bay;
She hath borne noble burden
Ger rough and stormy way.
When crushed beneath the wrongs OF fac
tions.
II wrongs we would redress,
Let's keep aloft our glittering banner
The freedom of the Press"
Proud she stands, with crown nor seeptre,
Nor in regal purple dress,
Yet chief of our Republics boasts
Is y free, unshnckled Press.
Then let the pulse of our great nation
Like lava torrent fly,
And moving onward, upward, swear
This freedom ne'er shall die.
