Th 4 Flag of our Republic
By valient men was rai.vd,
While traitors bargained fora fee,
And tyrants stood amazed.
Nor traitor's wiles, nor tyrant's hand,
Though tried and fried again,
Has n'er pulled down that noble flag,
Or fixed on it a Stain I .
The Flag of our Republic
Announce the brave and free,
Where timid vassels couch and bend,
In climes beyond the sea ;
And on the slippery, 'sanguined deck,
And on the tented field,
IP
It gives assurance that the foe
Must fall, or Ily, or yield. • .
The Flag of our Republic
Revives the exile's heart,
As kindred sob a last farewell,
And early friends depart;
He blesses it upon the mast,
And hails it on the shore,
Where lordly rule and lordly wrath
Are felt and feared no more.
The Flag of our Republic
Has still preserved her stars,
Amid domestic feuds and broils,
As well as foreign-wars;
And God, I trust, will keep them still,
A dazzling galaxy,
'fill time shall fade a i pd wane away.

The Wayside Flower.
A flower by the wayside grew,
Shedding its fragrant breath
On evening winds and morning dew,
On meadow land and heath.
And then alone it reared its form,
Alone, in feeble power;
Exposed to whit Mods and the storm,
A modest, wayside flower.
And when the even drew aruund
The curtain dark of night;
_ And hushed was every stirring sound,
At waning of the light.
The little flower folded then
Its purple, silken vest;
And gathering round the bright folds then,
It gently sunk to rest.
Bill soon the "dreary autumn winds,"
And wintCr's chilling breath,
Breathes on the tiny flower, and binds
The fatal seal ofdeath.
A hare and leafless shrub stands now;
Where once the dower grew;
And •'walling wind.," will round it blow,
spring gins anew.
Then will the tender blossoms burst
From out their prison cell;
And flowers, the choicest and the first,
Adorn each glade and dell.

Relic of Witchcraft.
. The Newburyparl Herald gives an ac
count of an old house, about to be demolish
ed in that town, with which some interest
associations are connected. It is on High
street, at the head of Market street, and
known as the Alorse house, famous as the
spot where first originated the Witchcraft
delusion in this country. that afterwards
i•spread abroad, and from which flowed such
terrible results.. The house was built by
William Morse, about the year 16.15, and
the Herald says, there are better attested
0 colds of the tviteherall, spiriwal rappinq,,
std thruayin` , ;, transacted in this house, j
than anything l•roug hI. forward by the tee
dery spiritual philosophers:
Cotton lather says that in the year 1679, j
this house was "so infested with demons,"
that, whereas before, "the devil was chained
up, the invisible hand did begin to put forth
an astonishing visibility: , The wife of
William Moise narrowly escaped being ,
hanged for a witch, as seventeen persons I
gave their written testimony, stating the
reasons why they believed she was really
a Witch, and ought to be hung according to
the old 'Mosaic law, which says, "thou
shalt not sutlin' if witch to live." It is
said to have been owing to the firmness
of Gov. Bradstreet that the life of the wo
man was saves; and she vas returned to I
her family.

No explanation ofthe numerous exhibitions

house to such an extent as to excite the
wonder of the whole country, ever was giv

they perilled the life of the inmates and
others, upon the scaffold. In Coffin's Histo
ry of Newbury, evidence is adduced which
leads to the suspicion that they were perpe
trated by a roguish grandson of William
Morse. It is strange, if he really was the
author of the. tricks, that the lad in his after
life ; 'if not'at . the' time his grandmether was
