Oh! rend it not—»ctill let it wave,
That star-gemmed Bag, o’er land and sea,
The cherished signal Of the brave,
The glorious banner ol* the free;
Still let its eagle soar on high.
Its stripes still fresh, its stars still bright,
No tempest in the smiling sky,
No gathering cloud to quench their light.
Oh! plant it on each glorions spot.
Unfurl it wide but rend it not.
There comes a voice from every plain,
From every mount of strife and glory.
Where valor's blood has left a stain,
Or history found a theme for story;
From Bunker Hill, from Bennington,
From glorious York the cry is heard;
From vale to mount the sound rolls on,
And e'en the ocean depths are stirred;
From every fam<'-rein**mbcred spot
The cry is heard, On! rend it not!
Oh! by the chiefs whose awful forms
Arc bending from the starry sky,
Wno Imre that Hag through war's wild storm-*,
Ami proud and glorious Wle it fly,
Their blood tmught gift do not despise,
The proudest gift \ nation knows—
A flag, bright, streaming to tnc skies,
That droop* noi to its vaunting foes,
On! bo the treasure ne'er tiorgot—
Unfurl it wide but rend it not.
Oh! ye, the sons of noble sires,
Who bravely struggled side by side,
Where blazed the tented field's watch-fires,
Or navies pressed the surging tide;
Shall petty bickerings rend the tie,
The oath fraternal sealed with blood ?
Shall our proud banner cease to fly,
A victor flag o'er field and flood ?
No! be the Union ne'er forgot
Unfurl it wide, but rend it not.

lit ihe summer of 18 9, when Vienna
had fallen into Ins hands, Napoleon deter
mined,to cross ilie Danube unit give the
Archduke Charles bailie on the luriher

in a wide si ream, embracing many islands

the uproar ol bailie ceased, and through

of Znch’s corps, which was already yield

a storm. His Generals, rutiBcd by his ex
ample,dashed into the thickest of ihe fight,
and at the head of their respective divisions
fell like so many rocks on ine head of Lan
nes’ column. Those brave officers almost
to a man, sunk liefore the destructive fire
that opened upon them, but that dreadful
column was clu-ckcd for the first lime in
its advance, nnd stood like a living rock
amid its foes. Til Austrians were throw n
into squares nnd stood like so many check
ers on the field. Into the verv heart ol
these, Lannes had penetrated and stepped.
The empire stopped with him, and Napo
leon saw nt once the peril of his chief.—
The brave rtiirassinurs that had broken the
host infantry of the world were immediate
ly ordered to the rescue. Shaking the
ground over which they galloped—their
glittering armor rattling’ os they came—
they hurst into the midst of the e’n- my and
charged the now steady battalions with
nppnling fury. Round and round the firm
s--iinres they rode, spurring their steeds
against the very points of the bayonet, hut
in vntn. Not a a.uarr broke, not a rotuinn
fled ; nnd, charged in turn by the Austri
an cavalry, they w-rre compelled lo fall
hark on their ow n infantry. Still Lnnnes

haiile-field around him. Unable lodeplov,
so ns lo return ihe terrific fire tlint w asted
him, nnd disdn ning to fly, he lei his col
umn inch away beside’him. Peing in
snuarcs, the Austrians could fire to ad
vantage, while Lnnnes mold only return
il from ihe edge of his column. Seeing
ihni he dare nnl deploy his men, the Arch
duke had the cannon’ wheeled <o within
five rods of iliotii, nnd there played on life
dense masses.
Every discharge open d huge gaps, and
men seemed like mist before the destruc
tive storm. Still the shivering columns
stood as rooted lo the ground, while Lan
nes surveyed with flashing eye the disas
trous field from wliirli he saw there was no
relief. Added 'o this the ammunition ba-
gnn to fail, nnd his ow n cannon were less
hotly worked. This completed the disas-
r; while, to render his situation sfillmnrr-
desper le, a region ni had dashed in be
tween his lines, which being immediately
followed hy others, cut them in twain.—
Added to all, the news began to fly over
the field that the bridges over the Danube
had been carried away hy the heavy boats
that had been floated’ down against them.
Still Lnnnes nnd his column disdained to
fly, nnd seemed lo resolve lo perish in their
footsteps. The brave Marshal knew he
could not win the battle, but he knew he
could die on Ihe spot where he struggled for
a continent. Bonn|iarle, ns he looked over
the disordered field from his position saw
ai oner tlini ihe Iwtilc wns lost. Still in
jliis dreadful crisis he showed no ngiiniion
or excitement. Calm and collected, as if
on a mere review, he surveyed the min n-
boiit him, and by his firm bearing steadied
the soldiers nnd officers nlnid whom he
moved. Seeing that no time wns to be
lost, if he would »nve the regiments of his
army, for ihe bridges were fast yielding.to
the swollen stream, he oidered n general
retreat. Lannes and his column ilirn be
gan to noire over tile field, lit a ninmnil
the retreat lieeanu- g.-ticral, and the whole
who in a few boars will be no mare.**
The roar of battle was forgotten, and
reckless alike of his deleat ana the peril of
his army, of all save the dying friend by
his side,Napoleon knell over the rude couch
and wept like a child. The hp that had
seemed made of iron during the day, now-
quivered with emotion, and the eye that
had never blenched in the wildest of bat
tle, now flowed with tear*. The voire of
affection spoke louder than the thunder of
artillery; the marble hearted monarch
wept and well he might. For there, be
fore him, torn and mangled, lay the friend
of his youth, and *he companion of his ear
ly career—he who charged by his side at
Lodi and Areola—saved his army at Mon-
ticello, and Italy at Mnrdeno—who opened
Raiisbon to bis victorious army—ney, the
right hand of his pow er—broken and 'fallen
forever.
REAL GREATNESS.
He wbo possesses the divine powers nf
the soul, is a great being, lie his plaee
where it may. You may elnlbe him with
rags, chain him to slavish tasks—but he
is still great. You may shut him out of
your houses, but God opens to him hea
venly mansions. He makes no show- in
deed in the streets of a splendid eily, hut
a clear thought—a pure afli-ction, a reso
lute art, ol a virtuous life, will have a
dignity of quite another kind nnd fat
higher than m-eutnulutinns, of liriek ami
granite, ul' plaster and stuceo, however
cunningly put together, or though stieu fl
ing far beyond nur sight. Nor is this all.
Real greatness has nothing lo do with a
man’s sphere- It does not lie in the mag
nitude ul his own outward agency in the
extent of the effects which it produces.
Perhaps the greatest men in our cily, at
this moment, are buried in obscurity.
Grandeur of character is wholly in the
ton e of thought, moral prineip'e and love,
ami this tnay be liiutul in the humblest
condition nl' lile. A man brought up to
an obscure trade, and hemmed in hy the
wants ol a growing family, may in this
uairnw sphere perceive more clearly,
discriminate mnn- keenly, weigh evidence
more wisely, seize oil the right means
more de< isively, have more presence of
mind in difficulty than another who has
accumulated vast stoics of knowledge by
laborious study, and lie has more of in
tellectual greatness. Many a man who
has gone hut a few miles from home, un
derstands human iiatute better, detects
motives ami weighs character more saga
ciously, than another who has tiuvi lied
over the known world, and makes a name
l.y his reports of different countries. It is
the force of thought which measures in-
lelleituol, and so il is the time of princi
ple that measures moral great .ess, >hat
highest of human endowment, that bright
est manifesto of the divinity. The great
est man is he w ho chooses the right with
invincible resolution, who resists the sore
le inplatioiis Irmn within and without, wh<
bears the most heavy burdens i heerfully,
who is calmest in storms and most fear
less under meiiute and frowns, who re
liance on truth, on virtue, on God, is most
unfaltering—ami is this n greatness which
is apt to make a show, or which 1ft most
likely to alaiund in conspicuous station.—

DUELLING.
Seldom if ever, in our beloved country
have a single winter’s record’s been
stained with so many horrid narratives of
the mischiefs of the false and cruel code,
as has that of the winter just closed. We
were going to write, six or eight, hut the
present mail tortures us with accounts of
sundry zithers of these disgraeful butche
ries. 'Whether il is because a taste for
such things is becoming more common, or
liecause accident has grouped together at
this unfortunate period, concurrent influ
ences producing an increase of this spe
cies ot crime, we know not: the thing is
certain.
We offer no apology for the duellist, or
hisaheimr; but we do assert, thill of ev
ery such cilia strophe, society itself, is
parti, eps erimiiiis. The whole commu
nity brands as a coward, the mail who
pockets an insult, or w bo refuses to fight
when clndleiiged. And ninety-nine youth
in a hundred would prefer being pounded
to death in a mortar, to being thus dis
graced. If ever this evil is eradicated,
it most be, not by law, hut by a change in
public opinion. Men otherwise, virtuous,
and even religious, must cease to speak
and think contemptuously of those who
refuse to fight aduel.ni who when insult
ed seek some other means <>f redress. In
thul heart-rending case of Pleasants and
Ritche, the published documents show,
that this feeling of public opinion, exerted
its full influence t a difficulty of a similar
natutre with one of the parties, having
been amicably, but honorably settled, anil
then alluded to, in the discussion that led
to the rencontre. We repeat it, this as
well as other evils, of a social kind as well
as moral, must he suppressed by an en
lightened and virtuous public sentiment.
On this subject, the public feeling, what
ever the tongue may say, is not opposed
to this vanda like practice. . H. K.

A FARMER’S LIFE.
I wish I could read in all our farmers
a disposition to magnify theie calling; but
1 have been grieved in many a I’aim house
to listen to lamentations over what they
term their “hard lot.” I have been the
resident upon a noble farm, all paid for,
talk about drudgery, aud never having
their work done, and I have especially
been sorry to hear the females lament over
the hard late of some promising youth of
seventeen or eighteen, who was admira
bly filling up his duties, and training him-
self liu extensive usefulness and influence.
They have made comparison between
his situation, o atsely dad, and working
hard, ft coming in fatigued, with a college
rnusin oryonng man who has clerked it in
a store, till at length the boy has become
dissatisfied, and begged off from bis true
interest and happiness,

American farm houses, and even in log
cabins, where the father, under the inflo-
encenfenlightened Christianity, and sound

as the world have termed it, into the woods.
The land is his own, and he has every in
ducement to improve it; he finds a healthy
employment for himself and family, and
is never at a loss for material* to occupy
bis mind. I do not think the physician
has more occasion for research than ihe
farmer; the proper fimd of vegetables and
animals will alone constitute a wide and

aristocratic French' and English ladies.
