J THE FLAG THAT BEARS THE STRIPES AND STARS. BY MAJOR O. NELSON SMITH. The flag that bears the stripes and stars Is Mill our country's boast ; Vith sparkling gents and rainbow bars, It waves o'er ev'ry roast. Tb standard which our nation rears On land and on the seas The flag that stool one hundred years The battle and the breere. Chorus Kepeat first four lines. It wared above the battle's tide That broke oppression's iliaiu ; Above our head behold it ride, Il never floats in vain. Upon the hills, aliove the rooks, And o'er onr fathers' graves, Free from a thousand battle shocks, Our starry flag still waves. C7torH. Our fathers fought that it might ride Forever o'er our plains j Yet brothers nought tQ curb its prido. Our eagle bind in chains. 0, spirits of our fathers, wake). And watch o'er freedom's land, Should civil strife again outbreak And pods in phalanx stand. Chorus. 1. t him who'd swell rebellion's cry, I5ut pause and turn to thee, A patriot's tear will dim his eye His heart beat true and free : JJo more he'll plead disunion's cause, No longer rebel stand, Nor longer spurn the holy laws Of freedom's sacred land. Cftortts. O, may that ptarry banner wave Forever o'er the free, And on the fields where battles rave The victor banner be. God forbid that e'er aain. Throughout our native atid, Brothers shall on buttle plain I5e slain by brothers' hand. Chorus. If sons unite, as fathers did, To keep that Hag uufurl'd, Columbia thru may tearless bid Deliatice to the world ; But fast will flow a nation's tears, If traitor hands shall seize: That flag which stood these hundred years The buttle and the breeze. Chorus. A JIEIIOIC ACT, It was when ffm. C Conner, the popu lar Sheriff, was a Secretary of Protection Engine Company 5, and tho Volunteer Fit Department of New York city was in full foicc and in al! its glory that the subjoined incident, enough in compass upon which to build a romance, transpired. It is not necessary to mention with particularity the ii umber of the street, for the old structure was long ago removed where the fire broke out. Very near the time has been given, and that should be sufficient. The clocks of the city, large and small, had struck the hour of ten of a bitterly cold night in December, and orderly dis posed people were about preparing to re tire, when suddenly the City Hall and all the other great fire bells, began ringing furiously. In those days the alarms were not giveu by stations, and the firemen often exttcrienued no little difficulty and considetable loss of time in seeking the exact locality of a conflagration. On this occasion, however, tho flames shot suddenly upward, and every one knew that the fire was on the East side of the town, and was certainly below Market street. It was, in fact, in Madison street, in a four-story tenement house. Tho flames had gained considerable head way befoVctheengir.es could get at their fitful work they were worked by hand then and it vas with no little difficulty thnt the inmates succeeded, losing their furniture, in escaping unscathed. But as the flame leaped with great forked tongues from window to window and from floor to floor, it began at first to be whisperd, and then with loud cries as serted, that a little girl, between four and five years old, was asleep in a back room on the upper story. The mother of the child rushed frautical Iy toward the burning building, and in a vain effort, for such it would have been for her, to have thoughtlessly and reckless ly entered it. One of tho assistant engineers, however, stopped her. He even gently pushed her back, finally placing her in the care of a policeman, at the same time informing her thai, if it were humanly possible her little otto should be rescued from the flames. While ho spoke not, however, believing his own words, for he thought no one could reach it ladders were hurriedly placed against the front of the structure, and bose was served up them in order to drive back the forked flames from the chamber in which, if not already smothered by smoke, the child might be. While this work was being accomplished, a bright-eyed, bandsome-loo'king and reso luto boy of about fourteen years, broke through the cordon, and running to the engineer said : "I cat) save the little girl. Her name is Lottie Wilson, sir. I know which way lo go and how to do iU She'll be bumt up or smothered before they ran get water on the fourth floor. Just tell some of the men to play on the stairs and I'll be all right. It's the only way, sir." "Hut, boy," hurriedly returned the en gineer, "don't you see tho stairs are already on fire." "Play on them," shouted the boy as he mn forward. Iu another second hardly stopping to elude falling bricks and pieces of burned and broke u timbers that came from the doorsr windows and roof of the house he was beyond human succor, so far as could be given by those who saw him disappear. And now a great hush fell upon the vast assemblage. Many had actually seen all had heard of the brave boy and there were people who murmured i "God save him 1 Who Is he?" And now the assistant engineer, In a loud voice, instructed the men who had the pipes to play directly upon the stairs, and, if possible, for a minute or two, conquer the flames that were leaping toward them, scorching and eating into them. The excitement, though subdued, was terrible feat fully intense. Every one was on the look out, and now and again some person, whose nerves were over wrought, Would cry: "There ! There he is !" But the aching multitude of men and women, whose eyes never left the entrance to the fated house, knew better. They not only watched, but hoped and prayed. Even the Voice of tho unhappy mother was hushed with expectation. All this while, moments seemed hours, the firemen played in the direction of the stairs; and notwithstanding, the flames were steadily making headway ! And tho brave boy. What of him ? It was soon ascertained that .he was a "printer's devil," and that his name was Julius Franklin. That was sufficient just then for tho terribly excited throng of oti-lonkei s. And Franklin ! His subsequent story was nearly as follows : "When I got upon the lower stairs I found that the flames were all around me; but that the steps were yet strong enough io bear me up, and that if I hastened I might succeed iu getting down them with safety. "At the first landing a dense cloud of smoke swept down upon and nearly choked me. There was no flame in it, however. I immediately fell upon my face and wilh mouth to I he hot boards I crawled to the next flight of stairs. Up these I succeeded iu getting, with much trouble. At tho second lauding there was a iudow, this I burstcd open and gasped fur air. It was for a mouthful only that I sn uggled, when I had that I made another effort, and, al though I found that everything I touched was as hot as if just taken out of an oven, I struggled on. I don't suppose I couid have been more than a minute in the house, up to this lime, but it really seemed lo have been at least a full half hour ; and as no water had, as yet, been thrown in tho direction of the stairs, I concluded that the assistant engineer thought I was a fxil, and had made up his mind to let me peiish in the flames for my presumption. This made mc feel awful, I tell you. But there was no turning back the lit tle girl should bo saved, or I would perish wilh her. "When I made up my mind to thi, I became as cool as a cucumber ; I hart no more fear, I rushed up the next flight, and just as I was turning to mount the last one a piece of rafter foil upon mo. It was all aflame. It struck me on the head and then dropped on the floor. I knew, then, that the cold water hnd been poured upon it. I kicked the slick out of the way, and the next minute I was at tho door wheie I felt sure the child w;ts; I burst, it open, and was again struck in the face by a dense volume of smoke. I felt as if the girl must have been smothered. "Just as I again crawled forward to find the bed a hereon I had supposed the littJo one had been lyi'ip, I caught hold of a lit tle foot. I drew it toward tne, drew it and tho body attached to it out on the landing. It was that of the child, Lottie Wilson. I was quitcccrtain she was dead ; but I took her inmy anus and attempted the descent." Now, if the assistant engineer hat! nut or dered the pipes to be turned on the stairs, I do believe it would have been heller for us both Lottie and mo. ' 'The water as it struck in great volumes upon the stairs and into the passages, had the effect of driving the smoke toward us. "I had to stand on the upper lauding, with the flames constantly and jtersistcnlly undermining me, until the clouds of smoke had been driven past me. "When at last I saw my way down tho terrible passage, I involuntarily offered a prayer for safety. At almost every step the flames would start up, and once or twice, as I descended, the steps broke in two, becauso they were nearly burnt apart by the licking, eating fire. It seemed an cteitiity to me before I finally reached the stairway. It was trembling and would presently fall I That I saw at a glance. Then, after so much, was I to jK'tisli where I stood, with Lotlio Wilsou's body in my aims? "Suddenly there was a crash. "I looked to see the stairs fall ; for when they went, I thought my doom was forever 6ealed. I was becoming, I felt, exhausted. ''But there was something else gave way at that moment. "The upper part of a tall ladder was driven through the window within a foot of where I was standing ; and then, just as I felt my consciousness going from me, I heard in a hoarse voice the single word, ' Saved I" "Then there was a great roar, and I knew nothing more, except that I thought I was falling into a deep dark pit. "They told me a week later," continued Franklin, "at the hospital, that I had been secu with litllo Lottie stand iug at tho head of the stairs, and that there was Only on e j was as the stairs were succumbing to the flames, and would presently fall to save me, and that was by putting up a ladder, and a fireman rushed up it and seized and bodily lifted me out of the building, which it also was thought was about to fall, and which did tumble down a miuuto or two later. "Then that must hava been the roar I heard. It sounded like the breaking of the tide upon the shore at Sandy Hook." "Oh, no," I was answered ; "it was the mighty and delighted cheer of the people who were relieved of the terrible excite ment when they saw you and the rescued girl. Why, Franklin, you are tho hero of the day 1" "Well," I asked, desirous of turning the conveisation from myself, "is the little g i 1 1 dead ?" "No, indeed," was the answer of my friend ; "she's as sound and lively as a cricket. She is hero to thank you for sav ing her." "A sweet faced child, with a pretty mouth and dark bluo eyes and auburn hair, here approached my pallet, and put ting her lips to mine, gave me a hearty kiss. "I lovo you ever so much," she said in hsr little, artless way. "And what am I in this place for?" I continued. "Why, you had yottr skull cracked," was the answer, "and the doctors wonder I how it was done, and how you managed to j retain consciousness under it for any lime, They think it must have been caused by the falling of a beam, as the bones were crushed in quito flat like !' "Then I recalled the accident which happened to mo on the third story, when j I felt the strange sensation of water being I thrown suddenly over mc, producing so J peculiar a shock. In a m inth I was dis I charged, convalescent, but it was a year I before the soreness really got out of my I poor head. I "Well, years have come ami gone since ; then. I learned my trade of printer, while i Lottie Wilson grew into a beautiful young woman ; a:id now, what do you think !" "I cannot guess," I said. "Why," he returned, with a geniei smile, "ohe's Mrs, Franklin and the kind est, truest, sweetest wife and mother in all this world." A TOVCIIISG llOMAXCE The following is a hitherto unpublished romance Connected wilh the life of one of our most prominent officials of the signal service bureau. He was encaged to be married to a loely, charming, wealthy girl. The eve of the wedding had dawned iTan eve can dawn, and they were occupy ing the same rocking chair aud talking as insanely as only lovers can talk, when the fair one said : "Albert, duckey, there is one thing I wish you to do when you ate married. "Name it, lovely," he replied. "To have no rain on Mondays, because, you know, darling, that Monday is washing day, and if the things are not washed and dried then the week's work is so fearfully put back. You will, won't you, my owny ?" This young man's heart was to!n, but he replied : "Maud, dearest, my duty to my bleeding country demands imperatively that I shall whoop her np the precise sort of weather that Heaven will probably send impartially during the next twenty-four hours Upon the just and the unjust, without regard to age, sex, or previous condit ion of servitude. If an area of barometric dis turbance exists in the Middle States on Monday, how can I consistently with my duty declare that the probabilities favor clear weather with light winds from the south-east? No, angel ; ask me anything but. that. I could not love thee, dear, so much) loved I not honor more." "Then you do not love tne," she sobbed, bursting into tears. The leader will readily understand bow they progressed to a quarrel aud parted enemies. She returned his presents and is now lecturing on women's rights, and he is a confirmed misogynist and sits up all Sunday night at the signal service office where with fiendish glee lie makes out bulletins for Monday, announcing falling barometers, atmospheric disturbances, heavy rains, showery weather, and so on. A Martyr to Science. A Burlington naturalist last Sunday, while investigating tho causes and effect oflhe poisoning of a wasp sting, nobly determined to make of himself a martyr to science, and according ly handed his thumb to an impatient insect he had caged iu n bottle. The wasp en tered into the martyr business with a great deal of spirit, and backed up to the thumb with anabiuptness which took the scientist by surprise. lie was so deeply absorbed iu the study of remedies that he forgot to make any notes of the other points in con nection with stings, but his wife wrote a paragraph in his note book, for the benefit of science, that the effect of a wasp sting is abrupt, blasphemous and terrific profanity, followed by an intense desire, fairly amounting to a mania, for ammonia, cam phor and raw brandy.

Boston Pilot. GRACE DA It E 7J G 'S STOKV. Grace Darling, ihe daughter of the J keeper of one of the lighthouses upon the I Fern Islands, a perilous cluster of rocks oft Saint Abb's head, was wakened towards the morning of the Gth of September, 1S3S, by shrieks of distress ; and when d.iwn came, perceived the tenia ins of a wrctk upon Longstouo Island, the outermost of the group. Grace awoke her father and urged hiin to launch his boat and go to the rescue of any one who might still be alivo iu the stranded vessel, but the tide was rising, wind and sea were wild, nd the old man hung back. .Grace, however, was sure that she discerned a movement on the wreck, as though living beings were still there, and seizing an oar, placed herself in the boat, which she was well able to man age. Her father could not let her go alone, and they lowed off together in a tremen dous sea, encouraged by perceiving that nine persons were still clinging to the fore part of the ship.
