My sweetest lay inspired by thee,
Our parting token.

To crush wild Treason whore she stood.
Thy bond of union, sealed with b9od,
Shall not be broken.
At thy dictation, Justice draws
A righteous code of humane laws,
And Freedom signs Il.
Thou crownless queen Of liberty
Rule on, rule on, from sea to sea.
The patriots blood flows warm IL thee
And time rehnes It.

When heroes crushed the tYrant power,
Or died to save thee.
May God keep pure thy sacred name,
And I'LL creation with thy fame,
That dema9ogues, our curse and shame,
May DOT enslave thee.
The patriot warns thee ere We part
The direst woes may wiring thy heart,
And no great wonder
From far Nevada mountain shades
To tangled wides Of -glades
These human sharks Thy shore lnYades,
In search Of plumber
Let Faction not with fiery brand,

While thou art sleeping,

substitute for horsehair, according to
the following process: The fiber is ex

means of drums with needles and knives
worked by steam power. The green fiber
is twisted CT curlod in its raw state and
finds several applications, The black
sort is at first dyed IN baths Of sulphatc
Of iron and logwood. then twisted and
again dyed. This fiber. it is alleged,
possesses two advantages over animal
fiber, which have led TO its extensive
employment, it being exempt from IN
sect destruction and some - per cent
less expensive than horschair There
are, it IS said, large works in Algeria,
where the leaves are bought in large
quantities and the fiber cleaned on IA

The Color of Flames.

You have often noticed the many
tinted bars and bands that rise in the
shape of "forkod tongues of flame"
from wood burning III the CRATE. 1t is
ten to one, however, that you never
have thought to figure on the cause of
the variegated hucs presented by flames.
To bring the matter quickly to the
point, we will say that the many colors
are the result of combustion among the
different elements of the wood. The
light blue is from the hydrogen and the
white from the carbon, the violet is
from the manganese, the red from the
magnesia and the yellow from the soda,
which are constituent parts of the wood
