But with thy just and equal rule,
And RbOrs need ana breadth OF lands,
Fee press and rostrum, church and schOol,
Thy sure, ifsow, transforming hands
shall mold even them to thy design,
Making n blessing Vt the ban;
Aud freedoms chemistry combine
The alien elements OF man
The power that broke their prison bar
Aud set the dusky millions free,
And welded ~ the fare Of war
The Union fast to LbSrty,
Shall It not deal with other ills,
Redress the red mnu's grievance, break
The tirCenn cup which shames aud kills,
And Labor iul requital make 2

And cal Thy daughters forth to snare
Inc lights aud duties pledged 10 all2
No lack was In thy primal stock,
No wCakiing founders buildod here;
Thiue were tile men OF Plymouth Rock,
Inc HuguCnut and Cavalier
Aud they whose firm endurance gained
Tive freedom of the souls Of men,
Whose hnnds unstained with blood, maintained
The swordess commonwealth Of Penn.
And thine shall be the power ofall
10 DO the work which duty bids,
And make the peoples council hall
As lasting as the Pyramidsl
Well have thy later yoars made good
Thy brave said word century back,
The pledge of human brotherhood,
The equal claim of white and black.
That word still echoes round the world,
And az who hear = turn to thee
Aud read upon thy flag unfurled
The prophecies OF destiuy.
The great world lesson oil shall learn,
The nations IN thy school shall sit,
Earths iatthest mountain. tops shall burn
With watch fires from thy own upltt.
Great without seeking to bc great
BY fraud or conquest, rich In gold,
But richer In the large estate
Of virtue which thy children hold.

Aud strength to simple justice due;
SO runs our loyal dream of thee;

Our prnyers our hopes, our service free;
For the Thy son shall nobly live,
And at thy need shall die Tor theel

entire suspension of business, and all who
could left the city to escape the sweltering
heat. BY an order of the board of police the
children were prohibited the use of the usual
fireworks, and there was but little noise.

those who could not leave the city, and thou
sands of people went there to get look at the
mammoth sea lion which has recently been
put in one of the small lakes. There was no
military display except the parade of one
company of colored infantry, and but little
bunting was displayed in tho city. Amateur
baseball was almost everywhere in the sub
urbs in the early morning, but later the
heat of the sun was too great for that pastimo.
