Though many and bright are the stars that appear, Iu that Flag by our countrv unfurled : And the stripes that are swelling in majesty there, Like a rainbow adorning the world; Their lights are unsullied as those in the sky, Bv a deed that our Fathers have done ; And they're leagued in as true and as holy a tie, In their motto of "Many in One.'' hour when those patriots fearlessly flung, That banner of starlight abroad : Ever true to themselves, to that motto they clung, As they clung to the promise of God ; By the bayonet traced at the midnight of war, On the fields where our glory was won; Oh ! perish the heart or tin- hand that would mar. Our motto of •' Many in One." 'Mid the smoke of the contest—the cannon's deep roar, ilow oft it hath gathered renown ! While those stars were reflected in rivers of gore, When the cross and the lion went down ; And though few were the lights m the gloom of that hour, Yet the hearts that were striking below. Had God for their bulwark, and truth for their power, And they-stopped not to number the foe. From where our green mountain tops blend with the sky, And the giant St. I.awrenee is rolled, To the waves where the balmy Hesperides lie, Like the dream of some prophet of old; They conquer"d—and dying, bequeathed to our care, — Not this boundless dominion alone — But that Banner, whose loveliness hallows the air, And their motto of •• Many in One." We are "Many in One," while there glitters a star, In the blue of the heavens above; And tyrants shall quail 'mid their dungeons afar, When they gaze on that motto of love. It shall gleam o'er the sea, 'mid the bolts of the storm, Over tempest, and battle, and wreck ; And flame where our guns with their thunder grow warm, 'Neath the blood on the slippery deck. The oppress'd of the earth to that standard shall fly, Wherever its folds shall be spread; And the exile shall feel 'tis his own native sky, When its stars shall float o'er his head. And those stars shall increase till the fulness of time, Its millions of cycles has run— Till the world shall have welcomed its mission sublime, And the nations of earth shall be one. Though the old Alleghany may tower to heaven, Ana the Fathei of vVaters divide, The links of our destiny cannot be riven, While the truth of these words shall abide. Then oh? let them glow on each helmet and brand, Though our bloocf like our rivers shall run; Divide as wo may in our own native land, To the rest of the world we are one. Then up with our flag, let it stream on the air, Though our fathers are cold iu 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; A nation of freemen that moment shall fall. When its stars shall be trail'd on the ground. MOBM&MmOPI The Name above every Name. Jesus! This name is above every name that has appeared on the records of time. No person has attracted a tithe of the at tention that has been and still is given to him. There is no name, among the living or dead, which to-day awakens such an in terest among men —no name which has such power over even scoffers and deniers of Christianity. There are some, indeed, among enlightened men, who ignore, as much as possible, the fact of his existence —who, perhaps, are content with the opin ion that Chrijtianity is a baseless super stition, or an unprofitable mystery. But it still remains true that the civilized world to-day feels a deeper, more vital and abid ing interest in the person of Christ, than in any other name which has brightened the page of history. And it is in vain that his enemies seek to pull down that name from its peerless eminence. It will not be forgotten while time shall last. New cal umnies may be invented to blacken its new hypotheses to discredit, new revela tions to obscure, and new expositions to de grade it; new names may be introduced to supplant it, new religions to overcome it, new doctrines to divert attention from it: but none of these things will be able to move it from its historic or prophetic pre eminence. In spite of them, it will rise higher and higher, and shine brighter and brighter, attracting more and more the af fections of men, till it is acknowledged of all nations to be the light and life of the world. The throne of Jesus is in the heavenly palaces, far above alj. principalities and pow ers. Kings are his vassals; angels his min isters. His dominion is an everlasting one; justice aud judgment are the habitation of his throne; righteousness is his sceptre ; love is the law, and peace —even 'abundance of peace, so long as the moon endureth' — the fruit of his reign. And it is the declar ed purpose of Him whose truth cannot be impreached, and whose power cannot be suc cessfully opposed, 'that in the dispensation of the fullness of time, he might gather together in one, all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and on earth, even in him.'

Some years ago the medical world was agitated on the subject of galvanism. The most extraordinary results were anticipated from it, some persons even maintained that by its influence the vital spark could be re stored to the dead body. Almost cverv physician who had any pretension to science, made numerous experiments with various surprising results. These experiments were commenced on frogs, but eventual!v they were almost wholly confined to persons who had met their death by violence, such as hanging or drowning; of course no ex periments were made with those who had died of wounds or organic disease. In 1830 there lived on 131ackfriar's road, London, a surgeon of the name of Stewart He was a very strange man, passionately attached to his profession, aud although he had settled there a few years, he had al ready gathered a large practice. lie was extremely taciturn, and rarely entored into conversation on any subject except those immediately connected with his profession. Mr. Stewart was an experimentalist. He might almost be called heterodox in his view of the science of medicine, for he condemned no innovations until he had tested them himself, and then if he found them worthless he made no business of ex posing their pretensions in the medical jour nals of the day. Among other things that claimed his at tention was the subject of galvanism. To this strange principle in nature he devoted more than common attention, and at last he became so enthralled by his researches that he devoted all his spare time to inves tigations in a room at the top of his house, that he had fitted up especially for that purpose, having erected a powerful galvan ic battery there. One day Mr. Stewart was called to at tend a young lady living in Princess street, not a very long distance from his residence. His patient was very sick, and under his care she soon recovered. Strange to say, however, the surgeon did not cease his vis its to Miss Alston, for such was the young lady's name, but every evening after he had finished his afternoon calls, would find him at Mr. Alton's residence. It was soon evident that this saturnine man was in love; even his investigations in galvanism were suspended, and he now devoted the time he had before spent in his attic to the young lady's society. Emma Alston was a charming girl, twen ty years of age, exceedingly handsome, and possessed a highly cultivated mind. She was attracted to the moody surgeon by his intellectual abilities, and took great pleas ure is bin society. In her presence Mr. Stewart's natural character appeared to give way to gentler infiuonces; with all his unpromising exterior, he was susceptible to poetry, and Miss Alston was surprised to find that her admirer had a profound knowledge of the old and modem poets, and would entertain her for hours together by repeating all the best passages from their works. Mr. Stewart's visits continued for some mouths. At last he thought he had re ceived sufficient encouraginent from Em uia to propose to her. In a plain, blunt and manly way he made known his passion, and to his extreme joy he was accepted. The young lady's mother offered no objec tion, for although Mr. Stewart was much older than her daughter Emma, he posses sed considerable property, and was in every way what is called by anxious parents ' a good match.' The wedding day was fixed, the sur geon's house was newly furnished, and in one short week Mr Stewart was to convey to his home the beautiful young bride. Three days before the period appointed for the ceremony, when the surgeon rose iu the morning fearful news was whisper ed in his ear. Emma Alston had been murdered the previous night! At first he did not believe it, but immediate investiga tion only proved that it was too true. Bur glars had broken into the house, and the young girl, making some resistance, had been barbarously murdered, a dagger had been plunged into her heart. The murder er had, however beeu taken, a policeman having seen him leave the premises. lie proved to be a villain who was known by the name of Henry Liscomb, and against whom several indicments for burglary had already been issued. When he was arres ted he was covered with blood, and the poignard with which he had inflicted the wound was found on his person. The evi dence against him was most clear, and he was committed to take his trial at the next assizes for wilful murder. The fearful news of the death of his promised bride preyed so much on the surgeon's mind that he was attacked with brain-fever, and for two weeks it was not known whether he would live or die. Ilis strong mind was shaken to the foundation, and in his delirium he did noth ing but rave of his murdered Emma. At last his naturally strong constitution pre vailed, and he slowly regained his senses. By the most active antiphlogistic means the inflammation was subdued, and in three weeks he rose from his bed convalescent. But with his recovery a strange thing oc curred; he lost all recollection of the events that had transpired previous to his illness. He spoke of Emma as having died of con sumption, and his friends thought it would be better that the real truth should be kept from him ; so it was decided among them that the subject should never be referred to in any manner, hut that his supposition should be encouraged by a tacit acknowl edgment of its truth. He soon renewed his investigation in galvanism with increased ardor, and, with the exception of his professional visits, shut himself out entirely from the world. He now passed every minute of his spare time in his dreary attie, and a light might he seen there at a late hour in the night. About this time he became acquainted with a Mr. Evans, who held some situatiou in Newgate prison. This gentleman like himself, was an ardent student in all that is strange and bizarre in nature, and Stew art found him a man after his own heart. Mr. Evans was almost always at the sur geon's, excepting when his duties called him away. They pursued their experi ments in silence, and often in that secret chamber grew pale at the wonderful discov eries they made. One day Evans called upon Mr. Stewart earlier than usual, and evidently had some thing to say to him. ' Stewart,' said Evans, when he entered the surgery where he was waiting for him, ' I have got good news for you. Three men arc to be hanged to-morrow. I have the promise of the body of one of them, and have given orders to have it conveyed here.' ' That is good news, indeed,' replied the surgeon; 'we shall be able to attest the problem whether it be possible to restore life.' '1 have little doubt we shall be success ful. Our previous experiments have al most demonstrated that fact. What, after all, is death by hanging? Merely the sus pension of the heart's action by cutting off the supply of oxygen required by the blood. Now, if we cau only bring the galvanic battery to bear on the nervous centres, it seems very evident that this subtle fluid has the power of so exciting the nervous system that the phenomenon which wccall life will be re-established.' 'You are right, Evans. Those are njy views, and to-morrow we shall be able to prove whether they are correct or not.' 1 Get your professional visits over early. T shall be here at halt-past nine at the fur thest. The men are to be hanged at eight. They will hang an hour. Then one of the bodies will be delivered over to me. It will scarcely take ine half an hour to bring it from Newgate here. ' Have no fear; I will be at home. By the by, you must be careful to see that the criminal has not his neck broken. Such an accident would of course render our ex periments entirely nugatory.' ' I will see to that. Good-by for the pres ent. I shall not be with you this evening; you will have everything iu readiness. The experiments ought to be made as soon as possible after death.' 4 1 will devote this evening to necessary preparations.' The two friends shook hands and part ed. Mr. Stewart did not even wait till even ing, but at once retired to his attic and soon got everything in readiness. He was in a state of nervous excitement, for he is about to prove the truth or falsity of the great dream of life. It is true he had ex perimented many times on the dead body, but the person to whom he had upplied his galvanic battery had died either by vio lence or some disease, and all that he had been able to effect was merely muscular movement in the bodies. Now, however, an opportunity was offered which might never occur again. A man who lost his life from no organic disease, from no vio lence in which blood was 6pilled, he regard ed as the most favorable condition to test the truth of his theory. The surgeon retired to bed that night anxious and excited. It was in vain he closed his eyes to &leep. He could think of nothing but his coming experiments. At last, towards morning, be fell iuto an easy sort of slumber, in which he dreamed of all he was about to do. In his imagi nation he saw the body before him, and saw the body rise from the table a hale and hearty man. In the inidst of his vision he awoke. It was broad day light, and the clock of a neighboring church struck sev en. He hurried on his clothes, partook ot a hearty breakfast, and made some indispen sable calls. When he reached home again it was nine o'clock. He at once proceed ed to the attic and gave the finishing touch to his preparations. He fixed a long, wide board within a oonvenient distance of his battery, laid out two or three scalpels, and saw that there was a sufficient supply of acid. As the time approached for his grand experiment, he became more calm and col lected, and by the time the cab drove up to the door not a single nerve of his body trembled. He saw them from the window lift a heavy box out of the cab and convey it in to the hall. Ho then heard them slowly and laboriously carry it up stairs, and in a few moments it was brought into the attio. The men who had assisted to bring the box up stairs, and who had no knowledge of what it contained, were paid for their trouble, and Evans and Stewart were left alone with the body. The moment they were gone, Evans took a screw-driver from his pocket, and unfastened the lid of the box. It was the work of a few moments only, and the lid fell of. Stewart and his companion then, with considerable exertion, pulled the corpse from the box, and laid it on the ta ble. It was the body of a strong stalwart man; his black congested features, even in death, revealed the hardened, desperate villain he had been while living. When the sur geon gazed on him he involuntary shud dered ; but ashamed of his emotion, by a strong effort of mind he overcame it. ' The man's limbs are not yet stiff,' said Evans, moving the arms and legs of the corpse, ' and the body is even yet warm.' ' So much the better for our experiments' said Stewart, in a hollow voiee. 'You are sure his ncek was not broken?' 'I am certain of that—the man died the hardest of all the three. Here, you can see for yourself,' said Evans, raising the man's head while Stewart examined the cervical vertebrae with his fingers. ' It is all right,' said the surgeon. Stewart now took up ono of the scalpels, and began carefully to dissect the back of the neck; laying back the nerves which had their origin from that portion of the spinal cord. The battery was eharged, and the wire was brought to bear on the exposed nerves. Stewart had a profound knowledge of anatomy, and he had been very carelul in making his dissection to aviod wounding even the slightest filament of nerve. The surgeon took the wire in his hand, and applied the end of it to the part he had prepared. His hand was now as firm and steady as a rock. Evans stood by with the utmost excitement depicted on his features. For a moment or two the body made no response to the action of the galvanic bat tery. ' More acid,' whispered the surgeon Evans went to the trough and poured in a large quantity of acid. At that moment the legs of the corpse were violently drawn up, and the arms beat the air. Thgn com menced a twitching of the muscles of the face, and in a minute or two the eyelids of the deceased opened, and his eyes rolled about in the most fearful manner. Evans made a rush for the door, but Stewart did not move a muscle, but with a culm hand continued to direct the wire. His compan ion, ashamed of his fears, came back again, and muttered some excuses, to which the surgeon made no reply. The chest of the corpse now began to heave, and it was evident that respiration had been reestablished. The blood now being supplied with oxygen, the blackness in the face slowly vanished, and his fea tures assumed a natural expression. ' He lives ! he lives !' cried the surgeon in delight. ' Great God of Heaven !' exclaimed the surgeon, withdrawing the wire. A sudden thought entered his mind. ' When we hare restored him to life, what are we to do with him ?' ' I never thought of that,' said Evans, turning pale; 'let us cease our experi ments.' But it was too late; the vital spark was already rekindled. The man so lately dead sat upright, and gazed with a bewildered air around him. 'Where ain I?' he muttered. 'Am I in another world ?' lie shook himself as a dog docs when he comes out of the water, and deliberate ly got off the tablo and stood upright in the chamber. His muscles by this time had regained all their power, and he ap peared as strong as he was before he was executed. Evans trembled with fear, but Stewart stood gazing on the resuscitated man with a steady eye and an unblanched cheek. ( What is your name?' asked Stewart. ' Harry Liscomb !' replied the man. ' What!' shrieked Stewart, the name re storing to his recollection all the past; 'for what crime were you executed ?' ' You know, I suppose, as well as I do; it was for murdering Miss Emma Alston.' 'Murderer! demon! devil!' cried the surgeon, ' and I have restored you to life — you who shed my Emma's blood. By Heavens, I will avenge her yet.' So saying, he rushed upon the murder er, and seized him with an iron grasp. Evans fled in dismay from the room. A fearful struggle ensued, the trampling of feet to and Iru in the chamber was heard for some minutes, and then all was still. Evans returned to the room and found the murderer dead on the floor, with a scalpel through his heart. Stewart was gazing stupidly on his work, and it was soon evident that reason had fled. That night he wag removed to Bedlam. The murderer's body was buried secretly by Evans, and the real facts of the case did not transpire until the latter was on his death-beb, when he made the confes sion embodied in the foregoing. f®~The substance of the Homestead bill is that any person who is the head of a family or twenty-one years or more cf New Series—Vol. XIV, No. 21. age may enter one section of land, subject to preemption, and at the expiratiou of five years, if then a citizen, shall be entitled to a patent on payment of ?10. Paddy 's Coon Hunting. An Irishman of our acquaintance named Michael O'Rodger, who settled in this part of the country some years ago, lately received an unexpected visit from his broth er Pat, who was direct from the sod. 31 ike heartily welcomed his brother and re solved to do everything in his power to make his visit an agreeable one. Accord ingly at the end of the second day after Pat's arrival, which had been spent by them in a general carouse, Mike armed his brother with a Ha.il and immediately led off in the direction of a corn field, aoubt.half a mile distant, where he assured Pat that they would enjoy a rare evening's coon hunting. The night was too dark to distinguish the objects of their search at any great distance, but on entering the field and set ting up a yell they soon discovered by the rustling of the corn stalks in various direc tions, they hud been successful in routing several of them from their hiding places. Mike's keen eyes were now fixed upon a large tree which stood a few yards distant, and be soon had the satisfaction of detect ing an object moving up its trunk at a rap id rate. This he knew to be a coon, and with a shout of joy he rushed toward the tree calling his brother to follow him. In a moment the two sportsmen were under the tree. Mike prepared to climb, and di rected Pat how to act when the coon reach ed the ground. ' He'll be after uiakiu' a great noise to get away,' said Mike, 1 but for your lifo don't let him escape ye.' 4 Oeh. be up the tree wid ye/ answered Pat flourishing his shillaluh, evidently growing impatient for the sport, ' niver fear but I'll put an end to hira when he comes down.' Mike now commenced climbing the tree with all possible haste, and succeeded very well in the ascent until he reached the first branches and became hid from the wild gaze of his brother, when he paused a mo ment to ascertain iu what part of the treo the coon had taken lodging. While mat ters stood in this state, the coon made a sudden move among the branches, which so startled Mike that he unfortunately let go his hold and fell headlong to the ground. Patt supposing him to Le the coon rush ed furiously upon him with his shillalah, and commenced that delightful operation of putting an end to him. ' Murther ! Murther !' cried Mike, at tempting to raise to his feet, 'in the uarne of St. Patrick don't be after bating me till death I' 'Ye needen't be givin' me any uv your dirthy excuses; sure me brother tould me ye'd be aflher makin' a great noise to git away, but not a fut ye'll move out o' this alive. Mike now supposing his brother to be crazy, thought it time to make a desperate struggle for his life; so seizing Pat by the legs he succeeded in throwing him to the ground, whereupon a rough and tumble fight commenced which lasted for some time without either of the brothers utter ing a word. After a violent contest, however, Mike came off victorious, Pat being so complete ly subdued as to render him helpless. But fearing it was not all over with him, he began wildly to call for Mike to hurry down the tree and assist him, or the 1 ugly baste' would have his life. By this time Mike fully comprehended the error into which his brother had fallen, and commenced using every means in his power to bring him to his senses, which af ter a great deal of persuasion he succeeded in doing. But the coon was allowed to escape un harmed, as neither of the adventurers felt in a humor for continuing the hunt that night. Indeed it was Pat's first hunting scrape, and he swore by all the saints that it would be the last. Plain Talk. —Newton's nephew was a clergyman.
