AMERICA.

(From National Ode, July 4, 1s76.) FOreseen in the vision of sages, Foretold when martyrs bled, She was born of the longing ages, By the tr+4th of the noble dead And the faith of the living fed! No blood in her lightest veins Frets at remembered chains, Nor shame of bondage has bowed her head. In her form and features still The unblenching Puritan will, Cavalier honor, Huguenot grace, The Quaker truth and sweetness. And the strength of the danger girdled race
 Of Holland, blend in proud com pleteness. From the. homes of all, where her being began,
 She took what she gave to man; Justice, that knew no station, Belief as soul decreed,
 Free air of aspiration,
 Free force for independence
 deed;
 She takes, but to give again, As the sea returns the rivers in rain; And gathers the chosen. of her seed From sthe hunted of every crown
 and creed.
 Her Germany dwells by a gent
 Ter Rhine; Her Ireland sees the old sunburst
 shi1fe;
 Her France pursues some dream divine; E \ Her Norway keeps his mountain pine;
 Her Italy waits by the western
 brine;
 And, broad based under all, Is planted England's oaken-hearted mCod,
 As rich in fortitude As e'er went worldward from is land vail!
 Fused in her candid light, To one strong race all races here unite;.
 Tongues melt in hers, hereditary foemen Forget their sword and slogan kith and clan,
 Twas glory once to be Roman; She makes it glory, now, to, be man!
 -Bayard Taylor.
