All Up, Please !

ARE we satisfied that "The Star-Spangled Banner," written for a special o< a
"sion. should serve for all time as ojr "national hymn"? Leaving othe
faults out of account. "The St»r-Span(,'Ied Banner" is very hard for most of u
to sine at all Americ." is easier, and the words nobler, but the tune is asso
ciated with Enjfland's national hymn and with Prussia's court hymn. Afte

forms us that Mr. Roy Webb, a nephew of Digby Bell, has written some thrillin
music for the verses. Here are the words:

Unfurl the flag of Freedom,

Fling far the bugle blast!
There cornea a sound of marching

From out the mighty past.
Let every peak and valley

Ta' e up the valiant cry:
Where, beautiful as morning,

Our banner cuts the sky.

Free-born to peace and justice,

We stand to guard and save
The liberty of manhood.

The faith our fathers gave.
Then soar aloft. Old Glory,

And tell the waiting breeze
No law but Right and AJercy

Shall rule the Sefen Seas.

No hate is in our anger.

No vengeance in our mrath.
We hold the line of freedom

Across the tyrant's path.
Where'er oppression vaunteth

We loose the sword once more
To stay the feet of conquest.

And pray an end of war.

EAVEN if no larger ti^an Con-
necticut ;

No larger than Fair'ield County ;
no, no larger

Than the little valley of the Silver-

mine

The white aun viaita and the wandering ahowera.

For there ia room enough for apring'a return,

For lilac eveninga and the riaing moon

And time enough for autumn'a idle de .,

When aoul ia ripe for immortality.

And then when winter somea with amoldering du»k

To kindle roay flamea upon the hearth.

And hang hia atarry belt upon the night,

One firelit room ia large enough for heaven,

For all we know of wiadom and of love.

And the eternal welfare of the heart.

ERE April wanders from the

rainy Sound, —

Ethereal Beauty in her shining

veil,

Who like a lyric dancer comes

with joy, —
And we behold entranced her mystic form
Gleam through the silver showers against the hill,
And must forever follow on her trace.
Bewitched as children in a fairy tale
By all the magic loveliness of earth.
And hark, what music in the dusk is made
Along the waking meadows, where the stream
Murmurs at twilight when the moon is large.
While from the willown in the marshy ground
Rises the watery treble of the frogs, —
The wild Pandean chorus of the spring !

Ill

OW when the time of fruit and

grain is come,

When apples hang above the
: orchard wall,

And from the tangle by the road-
Jside stream
A scent of wild grapes fills the racy air.
Comes Autumn with her sun-burnt caravan,
Like a long gypsy train with trappings gay
And tattered colors of the Orient,
Moving slow-footed through the dreamy hills.
The woods of Wilton, at her coming, wear
Tints of Bokhara and of Samarcand;
The maples glow with their Pompeian red.
The hickories with burnt Etruscan gold ;
And while the crickets fife along her march.
Behind her banners burns the crimson sun.

HEN winter comes, along the

Silvermine,

And earth has put away her

green attire,

With all the pomp of her autumnal

Ipride,

The world is made a sanctuary old,
Where Gothic trees uphold the arch of gray.
And gaunt stone fences on the ridge's crest
Stand like carved screens bttore a crimson shrine,
Showing the sunset glory through the chinks.
There, like a nun with frosty breath, the soul.
Uplift in adoration, sees the world
Transfigured as a temple of her Lord ;
While down the soft blue-shadowed aisles of snow
Ni-^ht, like a sacristan with silent step,
Passes to light the tapers of the stars.
