and read with realistic effect the following:
Sorro~no but still wemeet mldmenores grand

The forests greet the springng grain
The snow-clad mountains greet the main;
For in each mountain land

That all yet in the harvest may share,
While dread Azrael ths angel of death, hovers net
In the tainted and pestent air

BURST in fury upon the land. The doctrine that
he American Union was a mere ephsmeral,

Individual State, had borne its legitimate fruit,
