THE AMER ICAN FLAG

Each soldier eye shall brightly turn To where thy sky-born glories burn, And, as his springing steps advance. Catch war and vengeance from the
 glance.
 And when the cannon-mouthings loud Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud, And gory sabers rise and fall Like shoots of flame on nidnight's pail. Then shall thy meteor glances glow, And covering foes shall shrink beneath Each gallant arm that strikes below That lovely messenger of death. Flag of the sea! on ocean wave Thy stars shall glitter OCT the brave; When death, careening on the gale, Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail, And frishted waves rush wildly back Before the broadside's reeling rack, Each dying wanderer of the sea Shall look at once to heaven and thee, And smile to see thy splendor fly In triumph OCT his closing eye. Flag of the free hearts hope and home! By angel hands to valor given; Thy stars have lit the wellxin dome,
 And all thy hues were born in heaven, Forever float that standard sheet.
 Where breathes the foe but falls be-
 fore us
 With freedoms soil beneath our feet
 And Freedoms banner streaming Q er

PROPHETIC HUMOR

From the Memphis News-Scimitar.
 1 In one of his novels, Our Mutual
 Friend, Charles Dickens indulges in
 some of his characteristic humor, which
 was unconsciously prophetic.
 Readers of his works will remember that one Silas F'egg, "the man with a wooden leg," who was ballad monger
 and fruiterer in small way; was em- ployed by the amiable and illiterate MT.
 Boffin to read to him of evenings at a stipulated salary.
 Silas Fegg, the man with the wooden leg" agreed to drop into poetry occa-
 sionally and MT. Boffin provided him
 with a great volume, which, in his ignor-
 ance, he misnamed ''The Decline and Fall
 Off the Rooshan Empire" Of course, he
 meant Gibbons Decline and Fall of the
 Roman Empire" and MT. Wigs, who
 had great difficulty in spelling his way
 through the pages. took great pride in The humor was prophetic, because while no one at that time and for many years since ever imagined popular form of government in Russia, as matter of fact the rise and fall of the Russian em- pire has been accomplished and it's story has been told "A despotism that was looked upon as being indestructible, and the omnpotence of which no man dared question, has melted away as if by magic, and has passed from earth forever.
 This is one more evidence of the fact that humanity is finding itself and learn ing it's rights Humanity is also acquir- ing an access of courage that emboldens it to assert and proclaim it's rights. The human mind is being rapidly emanci- pated, and they are probably very few who cling to the absurd idea of a ruler by divine right. The present conflict that is raging is destroying many of the bonds and shacIles of human liberty, and en- larging the sphere of human intelligence
 so that it can understand and wisely use
 that liberty. The present generation is paying an awful price in blood and treas ure, but it will leave to posterity a heri- tage of incalculable value, together with a heritage of crushing debt,
