We give tby iiatal day to Lope,
O Country of our lioie an J prayer!
TJiv way is down no fatal sloie,
lint up to freer sun and air !
Tried as ty furnace-fires, and yet
l!y eiod's proee only stronger made,
To meet new task before tliee set
Thou thalt not lax k the old-time aid.
The father sleep ; but men remain
Ai wi.-i-, as true and brave as the v.
Wby count the cost and not Uie gain
The beat is thai we have to-day.
Wbate'er of folly, shame, or crime
Within tby mighty bound transpires,
With iod defying ipaceand time
Comes to u? on the accusing wires.
While of thv wealth of noble deeds.
I Thr homes of peace, thy votes unsold.
i The love that tileads for human necl.
rhe wrone retlrvssed but half is told !
ICach poor wretch, in his prison cell
C'r Kallows-niKKte, is inlervieweii ;
We know the single sinner well.
And not the nine and ninety pyl.
Ve. if on il.iily seandal fed,
We sei-tn at timer, to doc lit tliv worth,
We know thee still, when all iiid.
The lest and deareMt spot on eartli.
From the warm Mexic Htilf, or where
Ilclteil with flowers, jr Angeles
lluvks in the wini-tropic air.
To where Katahdiu's cedar trees
Are dwarfed and bent by northern winds.
Thy plenty's horn is yearly tilled :
Alone, the rounding century liuds
Thy hherul soil by free hands tilled.
A refuse for the wronged and poor,
Thy jrenerous heart has borne the blame
That," with them, through thy oen dotir.
The old world's evil outcasts came.
Hut, with thy just and equal rule.
And lulmrs need and breadth of lands.
Free press and rostrum, church and school,
Thy sure, it slow, transforming hands
Fhall mold even them to thy design,
Making ablessinp of the ban :
Ami freedom's chemistry combine
The alien elements of man.
The pofcr that broke their prison lr
And set the dusky millions free,
And welded in the ilame of war
The Union fast to l.ilierty.
Shall it not deal with other ill-.
Kedress the red man's grievance, break
The Ciroean cup which shames ami kills.
And labor full requital make'.'
Alone to such as fitly bear
Thv civic honors hid them fall.
And call thy daughters forth to share
The rights and duties pledged to all
No lack was in thy primal stock.
No weakling founders builded here ;
Thitie were the men ol Plymouth Kock,
The Huguenot and Cavalier,
And they whose firm endurance pained
The freedom of the soul" of men.
Whose hands unstaind with blood maintaind
Theswordless commonwealth of J'enn
And thine shall be the power of all
To do the work which duty bids.
And makethe people's council hall
As lastinir as the Pyramids !
Well have thv later years made good
Thy brave-said word a century back.
The pledge of human brotherhood.
The eiiial claim of white and black.
That word still eolnes round the world.
And all who hear it torn to thee,
And read upon thy flag unfuried
The prophecies of destiny.
The great world lesson all shall learn.
The nations in thy school shall sit,
Earth's farthest mountain-tops slm!l burn
With watch-tire from thy own nplit.
Great without seeking to lie great
I!y fraud or coininest. rich in gold,
But "richer in the laiye estate
Of virtue which thy children hold.
With peace that fnrais of purity,
And strength to simple justice due :
So runs our loval drvani ol ihee :
God of our fathers make it true .
O Land of lands ! to thee we give
.inr prayers, our hci. our service free ;
For thee thy sons shall nobly live.
And at thy need shall die lor thee '.

Wiertz was aware of his visitor . ;,non

ESTABLISHED, 1827.
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY.
'There is no hurry,' replied the
artist, who had his own intentions
regarding this portrait 'I am some
what occupied just now, but will let
you know when I have a morning at
liberty.'
The motnent his visitor had left
the studio, Wiertz seized palette and
brushes and placed a fresh canvas
on the easel, and dashed in the out
lines of the portrait from memory.
He painted as if for a wager, while
the summer daylight lasted, and,
thanks to his marrelous rapidity of
execution, when evening came the
picture was all but finished.
He had represented the old nota
ry Heated at a table strewn with pa
Iers and parchment, his full face
turned toward the spectator. The
head was brought out in masterly
relief against a shrJeU back ground,
jand painted in the artist's best style,
bold, free and unconventional, show
ing no sign of its hurried execution.
The likeness was striking in its fi
delity, giving not only the features
but the character and expression of
the original, so that the canvas seem
ed instinct with life.
The following morning Wiertz
gave the finishing touches to his
work, put it in a frame, and dis
patched it to an bpach, instructing
the messenger to wait for an an-
! swer.
In due time the messenger re
turned, with ihe picture in one hand
and a note in the other. Wiertz
hastily dismissed him, opened the
letter and read as tohows :
'.Snt: I beg to return your extra
ordinary production, which I can
not suppose is inteuded for my por
trait, as it bears no sort of resemb
lance to me. In art as in every
thing else, I like to have my mon
ey's worth for my money, and I do
not choose to pay you the sum of
S,tX) franc3 for one afternoon's
work. As you do not consider me
worth the trouble of painting seri
ously, I must decline any further
transactions with you, and remain,
sir,
Yours obediently,
1'KTF.R VAN tfPACH.
When the artist recovered from
his astonishment at this remarkable
epistle, he burst into a fit of laugh
ter, which made the beautiful studio
ring.
'His money's worth ha, ha! Mai-
tre Harpagonhas overreached him
self, for once. He could have sold it
for five times what it cost him, the
benighted old Philistine!'
He placed the rejected picture at
once upon the easel, and regarded it
long and critically, only to become
more conrincetl of its merits. He
knew that art iutlges would pro
nounce it chef d'ii-uvre. His amuse
ment betran to give place to irrita
tion at the indignity to which his
work had been subjected, and vague
projects of vengeance rose before
him as he paced the floor, with bent
head and knitted brow.
Suddenly he stopped short, his
eyes sparkling with mischievous sat
isfaction at an idea which suddenly
occurred to him.
He took up his palette, and set to
work upon the picture again, adioit-
; ly altering and retouching. j
1 In an incredible short space ofj
time it underwent a startling meta-.
; morphose. hile carefully pre
serving the likeness he had altered
the fitce by exaggerating its charac
teristics ; giving a cunning leer to
the deeply set eyes, a grimmer curve
to the thin lips, a scowl to the heavy
brows. A stubby Ward appeared on
the chic, mill the attitude became
drooping and decrepit.

the painter. 'Give it a good place

would hardly dare to show his face

he reluctantly retraced his steps to
ward the house.
'Monsieur Wiertz.' he began, in a
conciliatory tone. 'I have reconsid

A Barefooted Growm.
About twenty years ago a young
fellow named Johnson, in the wilds
of the Cheat Mountain, in West
Virginia, made up hia mind to be
married.
"But you have not a penny," re
monstrated hia friends.
"I have my hands. A man was
given two hands one to scratch for
himself, the other for his wife," he
said."
On the day of the wedding, John
son appeared in a whole coat and
trousers, but barefooted.
This is hardly decent, said the
I clergyman. " I will lend you a pair
of shoes,
" No," said Johnson," when I can
buv shoes I will wear them not
before."
And he stood up to be married
without any thought of his feet.
The same sturdy conduct showed
ite!f in his future course. What he
had not money to pay for he went
without. He hired himself to a
tarmer for a year's work. With the
money he sved he bought a coupie
of acres of timber land and a pair of
sheep, built hiniBelf a hut, and went
to work on his ground.
His sheep increased. As time iiew
he bought more ; then he sold off
the cheaper kinds and invested in

the shrewdness in seeing tne best
way, and that dogged persistence
in lollowing it which are the surest

! Stock-buyers from the Eastern
markets found that Johnson's fleeces
were the finest, and his mutton the
sweetest on the Cheat. He never
allowed their reputation to fail the
end of which course is, the man who
married barefooted is now worth a
large property.
Trie story is an absolutely true
one, and may point a moral for the

who crowd the cities coinplaing that
