carry him home to his own country and friends, in God's name, who would not die for a country that will do that? Well, our country will do it, and our country ought to do it; and all that I ask is that our country shall model itself after Great Britain in this one thing: The life of an American citizen must be protected, wherever he may be.— William P. Frye, from a speech delivered in the United States Senate, on the Armenian resolutions.

And still its heavenly key-stone
My listening country held,
For all her constellated stars

The diapason swelled.

-Lydia Huntley Sigourney.

E PLURIBUS UNUM.

Though many and bright are the stars that appear

In that flag by our country unfurled,

And the stripes that are swelling in majesty there,
Like a rainbow adorning the world,

Their light is unsullied as those in the sky

By a deed that our fathers have done,

And they're linked in as true and as holy a tie

In their motto of "Many in one."

Then up with our flag!- let it stream on the air;
Though our fathers are cold in their graves,

They had hands that could strike, they had souls that could dare,

And their sons were not born to be slaves.

Up, up with that banner! where'er it may call,
Our millions shall rally around,

And a nation of freemen that moment shall fall
When its stars shall be trailed on the ground.
