A NATIONAL SONG.
Written for the Inauguration, on the 22d Feb
rursry IS60. of Mill*’ colossal equeatrian
statue of George Washington.
2>V SIRS. D. K. WHITAKER.
I.
Sublimely shone the Western sun,
Lake, hill and valley o’er,
Wh»re nature’* virtues, all combined,
Wooed exiles to the shore.
Thunder’d the nighty cataract there,
Green were the fields and bland (he air.
I I .
A tyrant’s grasp wa* in that land,
Portentous clouds arose.
The hoarse drum rolled, the war-hor*e neighed,
Uuconquered were her foes;
While wide the lion-banner spread,
Which wide had waved o’er foeinen dead.
III.
And Liberty, celestial maid,
Wept tears of blood the while,
A struggling realm sustained her right
’Gainst prond Britannia’s Isle—
Queen of the Seas—yet vain her might,
Opposing man’s inherent right.
1 V.
For one arose—our hero chief,
In panoply divine.
With wisdom, valor..virtue graced,
A guard before her shrine!
He bound her sword upon his thigh,
And vowed his vow *“ to do or die.”
V .
He led the brave—his righteous arms
This Western world hath won ;
Undying, spotless be the fame
Of dauntless Washington!
Whose polent zeal—whose matchless might
Swept England’s glories into night.
VI.
Arts grace oar clime! Behold him there !
Victorious from the strife,
A people’s love—the sculptor’s skill
Commemorate bis life.
All hail the semblance which conveys
His noble form to after days I
VII.
Nations unborn shall bless his name,
All earth his deeds revere,
And at his sacred tomb, for aye,
Shall flow affection’s tear.
Freedom, our boon, we will maintain.
Though blood should water earth like rain.
V I i I.
Bleet be the genius which portrays
Our great immortal dead.
And twines the vernal laurel wreath
Around his honored head.
O, subject high ! 0, artist true !
Beloved the man—august the view!

Mi sonic Di-play at the Dedica
tion of Washington's Statue.—One
of lh« features m the ceremonies unend
ing the dedication of Washington's Eques
trian Sortie. on the 22d February was
the fine display made by liie Masonic
fraternity The Washington Star says.
The Masonic Lodges of the District of
Columbia turned out about 120 members,
in regalia, under the Grand Lodge of the
District ol Columbia. G. C. Whiting,
Grmd Master; J. E. Holmeud, Mar
shal
Fredericksburg Lodge No. 4. James
Hayes. Master, brought 40 men into line.
Was iingtou Connntiintery No. 1 of
Knights Templars, B. B. French, Grand
Commander,
Hiltimore Coimnaiidery No. 2, Jus.
Stirat, Commander.
The Masons bore in the I ne interest
ing relics connected with Washington's
history ns a Mason. The Fredericks
burg Lodge was the lodge in which
Washmgion was initiated. 106 years ago.
and the original papers, the list of mem
bers, and bust of all. ihe Bible u»ed upon
the occasion of the milmtion of Washing
ton. He also took his degrees in this
Lodge, and the papers connected with
each occasion are preserved with great
care as the most precious relics. Potomac
Lodge, of Georgetown, produces ihe
gavel used by Washington when lie laid
the corner stone of the Capitol.
Newspapers in Olden Times —
When newspapers were first established
they were quite destitute of advertisements,
and nothing was more common than loi
pipers to be printed with a blank page
The first newspapers printed in America
had only three pages of rending matter,
as there was not foreign or domestic news
enough to fill out all the columns. In
England, after awhile, a method was a
dopted to fill up the space n6t required
for the curreut news, by publishing selec
tions from the Holy Scripiutes. and many
an old newspaper is now extant with a
whole page copied from the Bible. Chap
ters from the New Testament were placed
at the head of the column, and the space
below was filled out with a psalm of the
required length. At the time this to us
novel proceeding was resorted to, to fill
ont the paner, the Bible was not so com
mon or so cheap as at present and doubt
less much good resulted from the practice.
D.1 . IA _ r I i
" v/mi j o'uuv ui uic CUU3U mru
to •* our piper" say, were it to come to
them with seven or eight columns selected
from tbe Scriptures? Doubtless, in some
quarters, even in our day, extracts from
the Bible would be “news indeed.”
