A century has thy settled order stood,

A century has thy settled order stood,
And centuries still shall sec that fabric
If, like their sires, your sons be wise and good,
The worthy offspring of patriot land.
The lust of power has mighty empires wrecked
The lust Of gold has slain full many State;
Can We a better lot than theirs expect,
Unless our virtue makes our country great?
We own bond, which makes our Nation ONE,
Each State still sovereign in its own true
As round the orb of dav, our central sun,
The planets move through the empyrean
Keep then that bond of mutual love and life,
| Which knows no East, no West, no North,
And let the bitter tongue of strife and hate
Which Cadmus sowed upon the Grecian
Armed warriors spring to life. and from its
The sword leaps forth to meet the lannon's
! sound.
Oh! may those notes of death be heard no more,
May peace her olive-branch of mercy bring,
May plenty reign supreme from shore to shore,
While sister States in joyful chorus sing:
A Nation sprang to life and power,
When rang that ancient bell,
And GOD hath given her as a dover
! 1.-The Un1On-guard 1t WE'LL"
The battlefield it's strength hath sealed
| Mid bursting shot and shell;
The valiant dead have fought and bled
For UniOn-guard 1t we'll!
A hundred years mid hopes and fears,
! While empires rose and fell,
Our fabric grew, majestic, true,
A UniOn-Euard 1t well!
Its strength can make band Of States
! In peace and quiet dwell
Each tyrant of the Old World hates
Our Unfon-guard 1t well!
Woe to the hand, which strikes that band,
| Or fain would sound its knell;
A Nations blow shall strike hum low
1.-THE UniOn-guard 1t well!'
From East to West, DER mountain crest.
Where mighty torrents swell,
The shout rings forth from South to North

o COP Of grace, throned in that place
Where hosts Thy praises tell,
Look from above and guard in love

Guard it through storm and sunshine clear,

The song is done-the Sibyl sleeps
And dreams no more of coming years:
Vainly our fancy Overleaps
The barrier to our hopes and fears.
But courage comes with manhood's day,
Away our anxious fears we ding,
Hope cheers us with unending ray,
And still with joyful hearts we sing:
Columbia! Columbia! awake to thy trust,
And deck thy fair form in thy splendid
Let the course of thy fame be the path of the

Why does the ancient Sibyl start,
And press in pain her throbbing heart?
Hears she the sound of the coming strife,
The rolling drum and the squeaking fife,
The roar of the cannon, the fash of the sword,
And the angry shouts of the Hessian horde?
Sees she the patriot yielding his life,
The ravished maid and the widowed wife?

From Lexington's fair village


From Lexington's fair village
Ring forth the notes of war,
Bright Concord's street the strains shall NEE
And echo them afar.
There is mastering for the battle
In many quiet town,
Old Putnam leaves his cattle,
Young Hale his books throws down.
Ticonderoga's fortress
Falls at single blow
And they, who scorn the ranks forlorn,
NJ; The sI might OF Allen la know asNv;o,,a
The trump of fame to fill,
Are they in death victorious
The slain of Bunker Hill.
Nor yet alone in conflict
Was patriot courage tried,
The wintry gorge OF Valley Forge
Beheld how heroes died
Unmurmuring. for their country.
And with their latest breath,
Tbev bies fsaT her f h fheir Cath
Then DER the Northern ocean,
Where Britain's standard waved,
The meteor flag Of John Paul Jones
His country's honor saved.
And Fastening to the rescue,
Where hostile nations met,
Came one whose name wins deathless fame,
The peerless Lafayette.
Long was the strife and bitter
Through years of bloody toll,
Till Yorktown crowned the work renowned,
And freed our sacred soil.
ct ever ana 1Of ever,
While burn our freedoms fires,
Shall sound the praise of those grand days;
The fame of those brave sires.
Long have their ashes mouldered
Beneath their native sod,
Who then the musket shouidered-
The ranks, that onward trod,
And fought and fell mid shot and she'll
For Freedom, Home and GOD!
But, bark! the western world sends forth a cry,
Like Rachel weeping for her fallen sons:
Earth can but it the brave and good to die:
Too soon the brightest star it's circuit runs.
A Nation weeps-her tears III sorrow stream,
Like those which Mary shed on feet all blest;
For one has passed where white seraphs CLEAN
In the eternal mansions of our rest.
He fell not by the deadly battle stroke
Full Of bright honors set his lustrous sun
And yet untimely was the dawn that broke
Upon the lteless form Of Washington.
O Name, thrice honored by wondering world,
Still fairer as the circng seasons come!
At thy behest the battle flags were furled,
And hushed the angry clamor Of the drum.
crown was in thy grasp-and at thy word
A Nation would have hailed thee as their King
Better thy choice to reign, while fame is heard,
The monarch of our hearts, eternal spring.
We see thee with thy calm, majestic face.
As when the tide of war before thee rolled;
The latest scion OF q noble race,
For Heaven made Washington and "broke tn,
mould"
And then . dimness comes before our eyes.
We ask ourselves,-Is this the land, which saw
In darkest gloom that brilliant star arise,
The first in peace, and hearts Of men, and war;
Where is his stainless truth, unselash pride,
His hand by nature taught all brides to shun?
Where xre the manly hearts by fortune tried?
Where are the children Of our Washington?

Oye who emulate his matches fame,
Who seek to win fair laurels of your own,
And leave behind, like him, . dsathless name,
While others toll, and strive, and die unknown:
Tread down the lust Of vile, unhallowed power;
Be not by selfish aims and wishes Won ~
Then shall Heaven grant you in your dying hour

Hark! the shout Of war once more
Rings along the Atlantic shore,
For England's red-cross banner meets our
country's starry flag,
And we rally to the fight .,,
Woe, woe to the base bastard, who at home
would idly lag.
The flag, that on the seas,
F!aunting forth to every breeze:
Had dared the nations of the earth to brave
Strikes With shame to Yankee guns
And the mother yields the daughter all her
rich and princely dover.
Lawrence conquers cen in death,
And his last expiring breath
Is token Of his valor and a summons to the
Don't oiue up the s,dp"'-that cry

While brave Perry rows from ship to ship
mid shot and bursting shell:
1--WE hare met the enemy,
And they're ours r'-and we are free;
Thus the plaudits of nation joyful news OF
triumph tell.
Yet the baffled foe once more
Seeks to fright us with his roar,
And his legions round New Orleans press
with mingled lust and wrath;
For their chief his flag displayed,
Granting each Creole maid,
And the booty Of the city, If they follow in
his path. %
But foul Packenham in vain
bushes on our leaden rain,
Pouring from the cotton ramparts, where

So, borne down by battles tide,
Fell the flower of Britain's pride,
And from lake to sea our victory is heralded
again.
Now let hate and strife be done
NevermOre with sword and gun
May Britannia and Columbia meet upon the
bloody field;
Let the cannon and the drum
And the hostile shout be dumb,
And tie compact of our brotherhood for

Beneath the old Tarpeian rock,


Unmoved by time, or earthquakes shock,
The slumberins Sibyl lay.
She dreamed Of ages yet to come,
When right shall reign and fraud be dumb,
And misery pass away
A golden age, unvexed by crime,
An age of truth and faith sublime,
An age of honor, trust and love,
Like those that reign in courts above.
From Europes thronged and teeming shore
She sees living torrent pour
To seek this western world;
Like waves from many distant sea,
Borne onward by the winds uecree,
In one wild vortex hurled:
So mix and blend the many rills,
Which seek New England's rocky bills,
And old Virginia's broad domain,
And Carolina's fowery plain,
And many State, whose future fame
Shall give to song glorious name,
When distant generations tell
The tale of sires, who fought and fell.

APoem, Delivered by the Rev. John
AnketeIl, A. N. (YaIe, '55) on the
Public Square Of Austin,
July 4tl,, 1879.
Published by Request Of the Citizens.
Columbia! Columbia! awake from the dust,
Let the course of thy fame be the path of the
Shining ever more bright to the glorious day!
Thus sang an ancient sibyl in her cave,
Ere centuries rolled adown the stream OF
AS, gazing DER the blue Atlantic wave.
She hailed the advent Of a power sublime.
She saw the glories of Columbia shine
Like stars that glitter in the midnight gloom;
Like Banquo's offspring, an unending limo
Still stretching onward Ito the crack OF
DOOM"
TO seek and find a world to fame unknown;
While skeptics doubt, while courtly fools de-
ride,
And hope and courage shine in one alone.
Fearless he treads the Pintas polished deck,
Needing no threats OF angry mutl ne S:o,
Vainly they seek his steady course to checK.
Till to their wondering eyes the lana appears
Then rose the grand TeDeums noble chant;
Priest, chief and warriors, decked IN bright
array,
kneel ON the SNORT anu III kIuu AO'udSC PAoAS
The Cross, to guide man on his heavenward
way.
The wondering savage sees their glittering
host,
And deems them gods descended from the
sky.
Alas! too soon that trustful hope is lost
Too soon the Spaniard's chains they fam
would fly.
No longer through the woods the wild cacique
Roams with the feathered warriors OF his
train;
Nor in dark groves do timid lovers seek
To pour in beautys ear their hope or pain.
The meek-eyed bondmen toll in many mine
The spaniards lash resounds-his slaves are
Doomed in amending misery to pine
To sOOthe his lust, or safe his greed OF gold.
Not thine, Columbus, were these wrongs and
woe,
Proud soul and spirit Of Promethean fire!
Thyself the victim of a treacherOus foe,
Robbed by base felons Of thy hearts desire.
Thine is spotless fame-a just renown-
The homage of the ages at thy shrine
Time twines for thee an amaranth1ne crown.
And ever bright thy deathless virtues shine!

Will ye try again their measure,

And now black clouds DER the horizon lower,
POrtending many dark and bloody hour.
iContending factions, fred with jealous hate,
Strike in their rage the pillars Of the State.
As in the court of royal Solomon
The faithful mother loved her babe alone,
While the foul harlot would the child divide,
To soothe her bitter hate and angry pride:
So, pressed each side by fierce, fanatic hate,
The friends of Union seek to save the State.
The clouds grow darker-o'er the blackened
| sky
The thunder rolls, the bolts of lightning fly.
The storm of civil war bursts DER the land,
And armies muster at the stern command.
Draw then the curtain o er those weary years,
The patriots dying groan, the widows tears;
When Southern valOr met a valiant North.
And brothers. hands q brothers ulVOu poured
forth.
Glorious the sun of Peace once more arose:
The Union stood, triumphant DER her foes,
And from that flag, with all its starry host,
Our triumph was-not one fair State was lost !!
