Bro. J.-Wall, Columbyl You seem
dumpy like to-day. What's The mat
ter, Eth?
Cu,.-Brother Jonathan, there are
times when the mind sinks beneath
the responsibilities of burdensome
life.
Bro. J.-Wall, suppose so, but those
times don't trouble me much. Guess
l havn't brains enough. If l feel
dumpy, just get pine stick and
cud of gum and writtle and chaw
away all grief.
Col.-Y"u may, perhaps, be able 80
ca'elessly lay aside your thoughts;
but, for one that represents the govern
ment there is no respite.
Bro J.-Whnt ON air,h does that air
Dutch on that banner mean, Columby?
That Ep-Ep-linrus Unium9 Hey7
COL" Il. Pluribus Unum," Brother
Jonathan, means Many III One -
(and size recites.)
Though many and bright are the stars that appear,
In the fag by orr country unfurled,
And the stripes tbsi swelling in majesty there.
Like rainbow sdorning the world.
There light In unsuliied az those In the gky
BY a deed tina. our fathers have done
And thsr'E- i:lket-fn rs true and as holy a tie
In their motto oi " Many in One"
Prom Il. uour when those patriots fearlessly flung
Thai asnuer oi starlight abroad,
Ever .ras 10 thenseive, TO that motto they clung,
As Ihsy eiung TO the promise Of God.
By the bsvnHst traced at the midnight oswar,
On the held where our glory won.--
Oh, perish the hand OF the heart that would mar
Our motto of " Many in one"
Mid the smoke of the conflict, the csnnons deep
roar.
How on it has gathered renown,
hile those stars were reflected IN rivers of gore
Where the croes ard the lion wen; down;
And though few were their lights in the gioes'
Yet the hearts that were airiking below
Had Ged for their bulwark and truth ior their
And they stopped no, to number their foe
From where the green mountainous blend with
And the giant St. Lawrence is rolled,
To the waves where the balmy Hesperides lie,
Like the dream Of some prophet OF old,
They conquered and dying bequeatbed to our care
Not this b0uDdless dominion alone,
But banner whose loveiness hellows the air,
And their motto of Many in One"
We are many ia one while giittei- star
In the blue Of the heavens above,
And tyrants shall quail mid their dungeons afar.
When they gaEe on thai motto OF love.
III shall geam Der the sea, mid the bolts OF the |
Over tempest and battle and wreck,
And flames where our gunr with their thunder |
Meath the blood on the slippery deck.
The oppressed ofthe earth to that standard sha n.y.
Wherever its folds shall be spread
And the exile shall feel tits his native sky
Where its stars shall wave over his head
And those stars shal increase till the fullness Of
time,
Its millions of cycles have run.
TIL the world shall have welcomed their mission |
And the nations Of earth shall be one.
Though the old Allegheny shall tower to heaven
And the father of waters divide,
The links OF our destiny cannot be riven
While the truth Of those words shall abide,
Oh, then let them glow on each helmet and brand
=, Though our blood like our rivers should run,
ntth hn xrn vr= ~ - s.--r N "a N n ot iva Lar
To the rect OF the world we are one.
Then up with the flagi let it stream on the air;
Though our fathers cold in their graves,
They had hands that could strike they had souls
that could dare
And their sons were not born to be slaves.
Up up with the bannerl Where'er 1t may call
Our millions shall rally around.
A nd nation of freenieE that moment shall fall,
When Its stars shall be tresled On the ground
Bro. J.-By gum, Columby! That
makes feller feel kinder springy Ike.
Why you speak pieces bout as well as
you did when you was gal. tell ye
Columbyl you looked mighty poo.y,
like, when ye was speakin that air
piece. You say there are " Many in
One" but j. seems that it has been
plaguey long time since any has come
in Columbyl There's a lot of 'em
standin on the outside waitin to be let
in. Why don't ye open the door,
There is plenty room inside7
Col-Who is that one who keeps
rappins all the time, night and day,
and never ceases?
Bro J.-Thst air one that won't
come in unless she can come in at the
front doorf Why that's one that lives
way out in the sunset region and tell
she's pooty and spunky. By gum
I'll let her in if you'll let me, Columby.
Col.-What is her name, Brother
Jonathan?
Bro. J.-Miss Washington, Colum-
by; and she is as pooty as you was
when you was a gal. Sha made my
heart go all foperty like the last time
l see her at the door.
Coi-How long has she been there?
Bro. J.-Oh! q long time. When
she iust called she was but a gal in
short dresses and l didn't feel like
sayin' anything about it, till she'd
growed mp little. |
Col.-Welii You have aroused my |!
curiosity and if some one would recon-
mend her; / would like an intervie= |
with the young lady.
Bro. J.-By gum, Columby! I'll
her myself.
Col-Admit her into nv presence |
