THE FIRST FLAG OP LIBERTY.
I====
On Stinker's bloody height', of yore.
Where brave thin battled to be fter.
The banner that their strong anus bore .
Was the First Flag of Liberty. ,
It was a plain,ungarnisbed flag, ' •
Those heroes hoisted to the air;
And foemen cried" ••The Yankee rag
Shall ewe come down, all tattered there: „
but little knew they who hid Lorne
That ensign to the early dawn;
They knew - not then what god like blood
, Baptized that banner In Its flood!
There, on the ramparts, proudly flung
Amid the gleams of corning day,
Freedom her flag In triumph hung. '
And dared the invader to the lbw. •
All spotlevadihe the morning light
That !leaven In mercy stooped to own,
Up rose that banner !Foul the night,
And flappel deflance at the throne!
On every fold that met the gale.
Gleamed out the words: owe cannot Fall!
Our emblem 1.3 the green Pine Tree—
Ours the Firm Flag of Liberty!"
The Pine Tree Flag! the Flag of Old:
Porever be Its mtniory dear:
be It on Bunker's shaft unrolled.
lin Freedom's name. from year to year.i.
Much as we love the !gripes and slam .
We love the Pine Tree banner WO.
That bears to-day the billowed rents -
It non and wore on Illunt.er
That flag was never yet hurled down
To mitre's craft, or tyrant's crown;
Thus be it known, o'er "land and sea,
As the Fixer FLAG or I.tisenva (011ve Brand' )

"I am going round to Broad !street to inquire of Rosa
the glover. about little Lucy Wendell." ,
"Luce Woodall! Who is she?"
"She is a pretty little Dutch girl,. who lived opposite to
me in that bit of a dwelling. that looks like a crack or, a
seam between the two houses eu each side of it. She
lived there with her grand parents. natives of this city.
and once proprieties-of manY a lot within it. but they
have been out b argained and out-witted till they were
reduced to thie ittle tenemontrue twenty (eel by fifteen.
Their only, surviving descendant was my little friend
Lucy. a pretty, fair-skinned, fair-haired, blue-eyed girl.
of a most modest, quiet, engaging demeanor. For many
months after we Moved to State street. I know nothing
of the family; : but from, such - observations as the eye
could take, neatness was the rolling passion of the house
hold. Their only servant Minerva, (the goddess of svis
dotn should heist known better) used to scrub the house
weekly from-gaeret to cellar; their only carpet was shook
every Saturday; the stops were scoured daily. and 1 nov
er. in my Ile, saw the old woman without a dusting
cloth in her, hand. Such a war of extermination did tihe
carry on against the intruding particles, that my friend
E. used to say it must be hard to think of "turning to
dust."
Indulgeence of the old people, which was sitting on the
stoop, every pleasant afternoon, according to - the ancient
Butch custom. she never partook. She never went out,
excepting on Sunday to church, and then she , reminded
a
me otnne es , t h ose bright. Ratty flowers. that hang on
the cragged. bare stem of the cactus. I pitied her o , her
spring of life seemed passing away so drearily. My pity
was misapplied; end I felt it to l;se so when I looked into
her serene and sweet couctottance.and saw there the im
press of that !sappiness which certainly flows from duties
religiously performed ; , It is a greet matter, Grace, to
have your desires bounded within your station; to be nt
isfted With the quiet, unnoticed performance of the dn.
ties - Providence has allotted to . yon, end not to waste your
etturtsor strength in seeking to do good, or obtain plea
sure beyond your imitate. This is true wisdom; and
this was Lucy Wendell's. ../kr last there came •to this
obscure family. what comes to all, death and its changes.
The old man and his wife died 'within a day of each
other. of the influenza that then raged in the city. Toe
hope of serving the pretty orphan induced me to go to
the hOnse. She, received me gratefully and as an old
friend; and though we had never exchanged a word 'to
gether, there had been an interchange of kind look; and
friendly nods—those r little humanities that bind oven
strangers together:
On enquiring into Isar affairs, I found that she had been
left almost penniless. but a :rdiscreet and kind female
friend had procumdct place for her in Ross' glove facto
ry. Lacy was skilled in all the art and handicraft of the
I needle. Rose, it seems, is a very thriving tradesman;
and on the warm recommendation
of Lucy's friend he
`had primised to board her in his-own family. and allow
her sufficient compensation for her labor.• ,
In a few days she' returned to her new homd. It I.
now fifteen months since she loft our street. She Came
once to tell ine oho was perfectly satisfied withfier place.
and'eloce then I have heard clothing of her. Do not look
so reproSing. my Lady Mentor. 1 have been intending
for seine time fix call at Mr. Rosa' to make inquiries
about her. My story has brought us almost to the shop
"John Ross, glove manufacturer." This must be the
place. Stop. one moment. Grace; and look through the
window; that man; that man. no doubt. is DM himself
—what a fine head: You might know that such a man!
would succeed in the world, let his let be titetwhere it
may. Ile would have made a resolute General. a safe
statesman; but here he is. an honest. thriving glover.
'and that perhaps is just as well; nothing truer than the
trite old couplet:—
"Honor and fame Ilrom no condition rtset
Act Well pout part. thcrc an the glory lies."
"The old man looks as though ho might be little tyr
annicel though. Ileaven grant.nour Lucy may not have
suffered from that trait in his physiognomy."
"The only--customer is coining out; now/wo have a
cleat field. let us go in."
"Mr. Russ. I believe?"
• .
"The same. ule'ain."
"I came. Mr. Ross. to enquire atter a young woman
that came to live with ycia last Christmas."
, "I have had a great many young Itvinnen living
with
me. ma'am"
The old mates humor required 'me to be . explicit.—
"Iler name. Mr. Rosa. Was Lucy Wendell."
"Ay. Lucy Wendell did come into the. factory aboki
that time." • , •
There was au expression on Koss' face at the mention
of her name, that might betide good, and it might betide
evil to Lucy. "I, merely wished to know. Mr. Ross,
whether she ail famine with yint."
"Was you-a friend - to Lucy Wendell. ma'am." • • '
"I should it an honor to call myself so. but :I could
hardly clainuthat name!,_ She was my neighbor audio-,

anything was going wrong, until one day I beard the girls
make a great wonderment about a canary bird that they
found when they wont into the weskaltop, in a cage hang

the place of departure. and was full of difficulties. Stri

the point from whence they started. Hero. among the
eastern splits of the Sierra Nosed, they found the übjeCt
of their search—gold•—and silver too; and in such queu

with silver and gold mingled and commingled in solid
musses weighing from one to many tons. The quartz
