WAS JOHN BROWN PATRIOT?
John Brown q patriot,
A patriot tried and true
Who begun the dreadful battles
Fought so bravey by the blns.
Ofall the noble Generals
No other was more brave;
He helped TO gain the freedom
OF the prosecuted slave.
soldier of the Lord lie was
His men were inst the same;
And even in his bloody fights
He brea:hed that Sacred Namo.
When in his prison cell he sat,
Repeating faithful prayer,
For his absent. lonely family.
The negro had q share.
And as he passed from prison cell,
With firm and manly step,
He stopped to kiss a negro babe.
While its mother stood and wept.
God bless you dear old man. she said.
I'D help you If could; q
He mounted to the gallows then, :
One so brave, so true and good. -

structure built three sides Of square court
garden. in which grown orange, lemon and

deep galleries the sides OF the house opening on
the court. over which are trained immense vines Of
the Mission grape, some Of their trunks measuring
eight or nine inches i'm diameter The walls of the

heard of such manly. noble Indian as Ailessandro?
We have always had a great many Indnns to work
