THE STAR sPANGLED BANNER.

Oh! say, can you see, by the dawn's early
light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twi-
lights LAST cleaning, -
~ hose aroad stripes and bright stars;
tho the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched, were
so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our
flag was still there.
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled ban
ner yet wave
Ger the land of the free,
And the home of the brave.
On the shore dimly seen thro' the
mists of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread
silence repOses,
What is that which the breeze, DER the
towering steep, :
As it ftfully blows, half conceals, half
discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morn
ing's first beam
In full glory reflected, now shines on
the stream;
IT'S the StarSpangled banner: oh long
may it wave
Ger the land of the free,
And the home of the brave.
Oh thus be it ever, when freemen shall
stand ~
Between their loved homes and wild
wars desolation;
Blest with vic'try and peace, may the
heav'n-rescued land
Praise the pow'r that hath made ana
preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause
it is just,
And this be our motto:- I'm Goa IS our
trust; l..
And the StarSpangled banner in trl-
umph shall wave
Der the land of the free,
And the home Of the brave.

FAITHFUL OLD I'm DEAD.

There died recently a well known
horse by the name of Jim aged 29 years.
For the past % years this faithful old
animal pulled the dray for the Eagle
Furniture Co. (now the Giant) but for
the past year had been taking things
easy in big lot in the summer time
where the green grass growed and IN
the winter in a, dry warm stall. Jim had
done his part in this world and did it
faithful for horse and there are many
who will regret his death. He was a
familiar object on the streets of High
Point for nearly a quarter of century,
a big iron grey horse, tower OF
strength in his younger days. He had
witnessed many changes at the Giant !;
officers and employees come and 60 but
he went steadily on for long spell, un-
til one day last year when his strength
failed him and he lay down for anon
or two, but thanks to his friends, he fell
in GOOD hands where his last days were
spent sin clover.'' Even horse has
sense a brotherly feeling and he ap-
preciated every kindness shown and me
thinks somewhere in the animal KING
dom old Jim is wearing a laurel wreath
bestowed upon the faithful.
