OLD GLORY.

he said.
And a piece OF the blue sky from
the armament tore he.
He spatched the rainbow to stripe it
with red,
And seued snme bright stars on to
make up Old Glory.
This banner, said he, is 4 flag for the
Tree;
The north or south pole shall its
standard pole be;
It shall wave in the skies on the
breezes Of morn,
Whilst the sea bears a ship or the
field Indian corn.
Then swell your land paeahs, ye
n speak out;
Let the roar OF this day through
the universe flow;
Let the brazen- lunsed seraphs re-
echo the shout,
And voices on high join the chorus
bSiov.
Be your banners u~piurled. be your
ihundsrholts buried
Until the glorious huzzah stuns the
ear Of the world,
For ne'er Iuch a nation again shall
be born,
Whilst the sea bears a ship or the

Soap is the principal standby OF
