 wen Divide It, Though We Perish. By Mrs. Julia |. Reyes.
 A voice from blue-robed mountains Resounds upon the gale
 And the sleep of silvery fountains Is broken in the vale.
 Iris the Eagles shriek of anguish That has startled this repose, And the noble bird will languish With his heavy weight of woes. Oh! many wild commotion
 His olive branch has quelled
  A nations shafts he held.
 But. he will lose the clasping,
 For though dropping, still he scars, One arrow lightly grasping,
 As he nearer, nearer lowers. He has slept amid the flashing
 Of the lightning-riven cloud. He has dreamed amid the crashing or the tempest booming loud. But he has walked in horror. At this warning in the world And his soul is bowed with sorrow. P That the flag was e'er unfurled. To be by faction riven--
 To be sundered by the half. Who for years and years have stroye To sustain it on its stan.
