Like the Book of Revelation read the annals of
our Nation
Through these hundred and a score of years and
two,
Since the dawn-break, dimly shining. saw our
stern forefathers signing,
In the old colonial Statehouse, grander gospel
than they knew
With what courage transcendental did each sturdy
Continental,
PIedging wealth and life and honor to a cause
too poor to pay.
Guarantee to his descendants that immortal in
dependence
Standing firmly still and frmer earth's king
doms pass away.
Oh. the hate of feudal taxes driving home the
battle-axes
Welded by the stanch freeholders for their
ancient Saxon rights.
Strengthens still the later scions of the three great
Norman lions
That upon the field at Hastings with the angels
watched at night
OF that graft the fruitful issue, pruned away to
finer tissue
BY relentless evolution are the Yankees of
to-day;
Theirs the swiftest aim and surest. theirs the
motives best and purest,
And they wage wondrous warfare with the
hirelings of Decay.
Long our neighbors had been crying, at very
gateway dying,
Calling "Freemen, sc:,s of freemen,
faint and it is late;''
Aad we fain some cheer had sent them, of our
largess fain had lent them,
But we still must needs be waiting the fulfill
ment of the fate
Till the storm-wind one gray morning northward
bore the note of warning,
Like the voice of many waters swelling with
the tempests might;
Twas the death-cry of the martyred seamen by
the Spaniard bartered
To the demons of the darkness. MANNED and
drowning in the night.
Then the walls of wrath were broken. then the
Lords decree was spoken;
Now the nations read this sentence by the
search-lights on the sea;
Futile are the tyrant's forces as against
Creations courses
Ere another harvest ripen all the New World
shall be free.
When the powers forget their rancor and the war
ships ride at anchor;
Each, her cannon choked with blossoms, decked
as Fame's triumphal car;
When the white Peace-Angel's pinions spread Der
all the earth's dominions,
And for Him that overcometh ne shall have
the morning STAR
Grander then than all the granite or what carven
lines may span it,
To commemorate the heroes of these fatefu
days shall be
School bells in fair Cuba ringing and her happy
children singing,
Even Columba's children sing, MY Country,
tbs of Thee

The Rain.

Yestermorn the air was dry
AS the winds of Araby,
While the sun. with pitiIess heat,
Glared upon the glaring street.
And the meadow fountains sealed,
Till the people everywhere,
And the cattle in the field,
And the birds in middle air.
And the thirsty little flowers
Sent to heaven a fainting prayer
For the blessed summer showers.
Not in vain the prayer was said;
For at sunset overhead,
Sailing from the gorgeous west,
Came the pioneers, abreast,
OF a wondrous argosy-
The Armada Of the sky
Then diverging, far and wide,
To the dim horizons side,
Silently and swiftly there,
Every galleon of the air,
Manned by some celestial crew,
Out its precious cargo threw.
And the ge0tls summer rain
Cooled the ->,yered earth again.
Through the night I heard it fall,
Tenderly and musical:
And this morning not sigh
OF wind uplifts the briony leaves.
But the ashen-tinted sky
Still for earthly turmoil grieves:
While the melody Of the rain.
DroppinE on the windowpane.
On the lilac and the rose.
Round us all its pleasance throws,
TIL our souls are yielded wholly
To its constant melancholy.
And like the burden OF its song,
Passionate moments glide along.
