Tbougn many and bright are the stars that appear,
In that Flag bj our country unfurl'd;
Aul the stripes that are swelling in majesty there
Like a rainbow adorning the world i
Their lights are unsullied as those in the sky,
fty a deed that our Fathers have done ;
And they're leagued in as true and as holy a tie,
In their motto of Many in One."
From the hour when those patriots fearlessly flung,
That banner of star-light a -broad ;
Ever t ue to tncmelves, to that motto they clupg
As they clung to the promise of God ;
By the bayonet trae'd a t thomidnigbt of war,
On the fields where our glory was won ;
Oh perish the heart or the hind that would mar, !
Our m.ttoof t'Many in Oao."
Mid the smoke of the contest the cannon's deen
roar
LTow oft it hath gathred remown I
While those stars were reflected in rivers of gore,
When the cross and tha lion went down ;
And though few were their lights in the gloom of
that hour,
Tet the hearts that Were strking below
Had God for their bulwark, and truth for their pow'r
And they etopp'd aot to number the foe.
Frota whero our greon mountain tops blend with
the sky,
And tho giant St. Lawrence is roll'd.
To the wave where th biilmy Uesperides lie,
Like the dream of some prophet of old ;
They corriuer'd and dying, bequcath'd to our
care,
Not this boundless dominion alone,
But that banner, whoee loveliness hallows the air,
And their motto of" Many in one."
We are many in one, while there glitters atar
In the blue of the heavens above ;
Atd tyrants shall quail mid their dungeons afar,
When they gaie on that motto of love.
It fchall gleam o'er the sea, mid the bolts of the
storm,
Over tempest, and battle, and wreck ;
And flame where our guns with their thunder grow
warm,
'Neath the blood on the slippery deck.
The eppress'd of the earth to that standard shall
fly.
Wherever its folds shall be spread ;
And the exile shall feel 'tis his own native sky,
Where its stars shall float over his head.
And those stars shall increase, till the fulness of
time
Its millions of cycles has run
Till the world shall have welcomed its mission sub
lime, And the nations of earth shall be one.
Though the old Alleghany may tower to heaves,
And the father of waters divide,
The links of our destiny cannot be rirea
While the truth of these words shall abide.
Then oh 1 let them grow on each helmet and brand
Though our blood, like our river, shall ruA ;
Divide as we may in our own native land,
To the rest of the world we are one.
Then, up with our fl-ig let it stream on the air,
Though our fathers are cold in their graves ,
They had hands thatcjuld strike, they had souls
that could dare,
And their sons were not born to be slaves,
Up, up with the banner, where'er it may call,
Our millions shall rally around ;
A nation of freemen that moment shall fall
When its stars shall be trail'd on the ground.
RED WHITE AND BLUE.
O Columbia 1 the g'. in of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free;
The shrine of each patriot's devation,
A world offers homage to thee.

When Liberty's form stands in view ;
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white, and blue,

When borne by the red, white: and bluf
When borne by the red, white, ani blue,

When borne by the red, white, and blue.
When war waged its wide desolation,
And threatened our land to deform,
The ark then of freedom's foundation,
Columbia rode safe through the storm .
With her garlands of victory o'er her,
When so proudly she bore her brave crew,
With hor fl ig proudly floating before her,

And fill you it up to the brim ;

Nor the star of his gl ry grow dim.

And each to our colors prove true ,

Caring Batter.
At the commencing of the grazing
season, those who have large? dairy farms
as wall as those farmers who make mod
erate quantities of butter, should adopt
such methods of making it as will insure
the very best qualities. A correspondent
of the Canan Agriculturalist slates that
the following method of treating butter
in the West of Scotland. He says :
"Whenever the butter is made in the
churn, it is removed from the butter
milk, and washed in at least three or
four changes of cold spring water. If
ihe butter is very soft, and the weather
hot, it should be allowed to lie ten min
utes or so in the cold water, to harden,
before it is much beaten ; after this it
must be carefully kneeded with the skim
ming dish, till every particle of butter
milk is expeUed ; after which, and while
the butter is yet soft, it ought to be salt,
ed. The quantity of salt for butter in
tended for keeping several months, as
used by the Airshire dairymen, is half
an ounce of salt mixed with ten drachms
of refined sugar, and ten drach'ns of ni
tre to every sixteen ounces of fresh but
ter. The sugar improves the taste, and
the nitre gives the butter a better color,
while botn of them act with the salt in
preserving the butter from rancidity.
Both the sugar and nitre should, howev
er, be used with great caution, and
should not exceed the quantity above stat
ed, oiherwise the bntter will acquire a
peculiar disagreeable taste. The whole
three ingredients are well mixed togeth
er and ground or pounded very fine. In
curing, the salt l minutely mixed, if not,
the parts that missed the salt will be
white, and the other parts yellow. But
although it is necessary that the salt, &c,
be carfully kneaded through the butler,
care must be taken not to bake or knead
it too much, otherwise it gets into a state
like putty, and becomes tough and gluey.
The great point is cleanliness. Extreme
attention should be given to the scalding
and scouring of the coolors, vats, churns,
&c, as without this, however good the
managing in curing and packing, the but
ter will have a strong taste, and conse
quently be of inferior quality. It is also
necessary to keep the cured butter in a
cool airy place ; the outside of the kegs
should be kept dry and clean, as a great
deal depends on appearance in getting a
price; if the temperature of the store
can be kept low by keeping ice in it, all
the better."
A Suspicious Package.
The Louisville Democrat states that on
Sunday night, a laage coffine was
brought into the city, on the mailboat
from Cincinnati, in charge of the Adams
Express Company, which was to be for
warded to "Mnrf rppsboroJ' addressed tn
a member of an Ohio regiment, weight
"290." Yesterday some of the messen
gers discoverd that, as a general thing,
corpse were brought from there, and
.'290" was "reather heavy." Their sus
picions beiug aroused, it was thougot
best to examine it, which they did. It
did not contain a corpse, but was well
stored with bundles, packages, letters,
eateables, boots in fact, a small-sized
grocery and clothing establishment was
inside the coffin. The freight being paid
and the contents notjbeing "contraband,"
it wasclosedup and forwarded accoVding
to directions "handle with care,"
A Romantic Marriage. The War
abounds in romantic marriages, one of
the most recent of which is that of Maj.
Rodman of the Seventh Connecticut Reg
iment, and a Miss Buddington, of Croton.
The bride, who is a daughter of Captain
Buddington, of Croton, Connecticut, who
brought the ship Resolute from the Arc
tic regions some years since, was in the
South when the rebellion broke out, and
remained with the rebels until a few
weeks fince, when she was forwarded
under a flag of truce from their lines to
Fernandina, for the purpose of returning
to her friends at home. There Major
Rodman met her, proposed with true
milittry promptness, and the result was
an unconditional surrender on' the part
of the lady, and a speedy wedding.
A confirmed bachelor says the reason

The London papers and "the quality"
are in a prodigious ferment because the
Duke of Wellington introduced a re
turned onvict at the Prince of Wales'
levee. The "juke" was imposed upon
by a polished ruffian.
The uew expression "humbug" is a
corruption of the word "Hamburgh," and
originated in the following manner:
During a period when war prevailed on
the Continent, so many false reports and
lying bulletins were fabricated at Ham-
lurgh, that at length, when any one
would signify his disbelief of a statement
he would say : You had that from Ham
burgh and thus "That is Hamburg or
humbugh" became a common expression
of incredulity. "

Address of the Protestant Clergy
men or France to tbe Clergymen
of England.
The following address has been is
sued in Paris, dated February 12th
13th. The French original is signed
by nearly seven hundred Protestant
clergymen of France, eighteenths of
the clergy of all Protestant denomina
tion in that country :
"To tht Pattor$ and yiinirtern of all Evangelical De
nominationt in Great Britain:
"Brothers, honored and loved in
God : It is England's glory that she
has given to the world the example of
abolishing first the slave trade and
then slavery itself. It is her glory
that for sixty years she has not ceased
to worly for the extinction in tho traffic
of slaves, and of the institution of
slavery, at the cost even, it is said, of
fifty millions of pounds sterling.
"And it is, after God, to those reli
gious men, to Clarkson, Wilberforce
and Buxton, and to her mission socie
ties, that England owes that glory.
Will not the children, the successors
of these noble Christian men, complete
this work, by urging their country to
declare in loud terms for the sacred
cause of liberty for the slaves, in the
terrible struggle now going on in
America ?
"The civilized world ha3 seen noth
ing more revolting than a confedera
tion, for the most part Protestant, in
the nineteenth century of the Christian
era, leagued together and demanding
their independence with'the openly
avowed intention to maintain and
propagate the institution of human
slavery, and placing as the corner
stone of it3 constitution the system of
slavery as it exists in the Southern
States ; which may be defined as the
right to treat human beings as cattle,
with impunity, adulteries and homi
cides. "Let us lay aside all political con
siderations ; is there a Christian who
does not shudder when he listens to
the Chief of this Confederation, who
answers to a decree of emancipation
with a kind of menace of extermina
tion ? The triumph of such a cause
will put back that of Christianity and
civilization for a century, it will cause
the angels of Heaven to weep, and
will rejoice the demons of hell.
"Throughout the world the suppor
ters of slavery will raise their heads,
all ready as they are to re-appear at
the first signal in Asia, Africa, and
ovon -in- "n-cll-TCgUlaieCt Cities- wf
Europe. It would prove a disastrous
blow to the work of evangelical mis
sions. ' And what a responsibility
would weigh upon the Church which
would remain a silent witness of the
accomplishment of so shameful a tri
umph ! If there be peaceful means
to bring thi3 war to a close, and make
it conform to the wishes of all friends
of humanity, the Christians of Europe
should give tiie cause of Emancipation
such a hearty and earnestly-expressed
sympathy as shall not leave to thosv
who are fighting for the right to op
press their fellow men' any hope of
ever seeing the hand of Christian fel
lowship tendered to them.
"Pastors, ministers of all Evangel
ical denominations of England, Ire
land and Scotland, we need your co
operation, your example, your influ
ence. "Places yourselves at the head, and
let us altogether call for a great and
peaceable-manifestation of our sym
pathies for the black race, so long
enchained and debased by Christian
nations. We shall thus discourage
the partisans of slavery, fortify and
sustain those who are endeavoring to
abolish it, and thus influence them to
accept our counsel.
"It is in free England that such
manifestations will indeed be power
ful. May wc not hope that if, in
Great Britian, the voices of all the
ministers of the Cross be raised, while
in France our voices echo their prayers
and pleadings, very soon there will
not be in the United States a single
black man who is not free?
"May God so will it, and bless in
Christ, the true Liberator, Great Brii
tain and the United States 1"
