was characterized by exceptionally cool
weather. The highest temperature then
ranged from G5 degrees to g. and the lowest
from 81 degrees to 6s. The range of the
thermometer in June, $40, 50 far, has been
from 50 degrees to SO maximum, and from %
degrees to u minimum It is more noteea-
bile, perhaps, from the fact that in April,
there were some very warm days. For three

Tho mighty, glorious and great,
Most cherished Of thy native STATE,
Tie ini norIal and the gOd-like one.
TO thee we rear the modest token
q! 20 20 and gratitude and praise,
And offer speech aud song and layS,
But speak ana sing in accents broken
We praise thee for thy strong right arm,
On Witch the nation leaned secure;
Thy heart so tender, fond and pure
That loved her with q love 80 warm.
And for the tongue so eloquent
And full OF sweetest NEEDY,
Whose tones rang out from sea 10 sea,
Enrapturing 3 continent
By hand Columbia's lyIe swept o'er,
And made all jarring notes agree,
Awoke the strains OF liberty
And unity foreyermore.
Within thine arms the nation lies;
By mighty heart throbs yet she feels,
And still the same thy music peal9
Throughout the land along the skies.
Descend, ascend, ye eheIablm,
Upon the ladder Of his glory,
And bear alOft TO God the story
Our thanksgiving for the gilt OF him.
Him-him-Columbia's greatest son,
The mighty, glorious and grand,
Most cherished Of his native land
