Hail Columbia.

Hail Columbia! happy land!
Hail, ye heroes! heaven-born band!

F. S. KEY.

The Star-spangled Banner.

The star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

ALBERT G. GREENE.

Old Grimes.

Old Grimes is dead; that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more:
He used to wear a long black coat,
All buttoned down before.

JOHN LOUIS UHLAND.

The Passage. Translated by Mrs. Sarah Austin.

Take, O boatman, thrice thy fee;
Take—I give it willingly;
For, invisible to thee,
Spirits twain have crossed with me.

CHRISTOPHER P. CRANCH.

Stanzas.

Thought is deeper than all speech;
Feeling deeper than all thought;
Souls to souls can never teach
What unto themselves was taught.

EATON STANNARD BARRETT.

Woman.

Not she with trait'rous kiss her Master stung,
Not she denied him with unfaithful tongue;
She, when apostles fled, could danger brave,
Last at his cross, and earliest at his grave.

MISS FANNY STEERS.

Song.

The last link is broken
That bound me to thee,
And the words thou hast spoken
Have rendered me free.
