 "And what the building of the Em- 
 pire and the keeping of it have done 
 for Englishmen, the Civil War did in 
 large measure for the Americans. 
 Even the struggle with their own wil- 
 derness might not have sufficed to keep 
 the people hard and sound of heart 
 and limb through a century of peace 
 and growing prosperity. The Civil 
 War is already beginning to slip into 
 the farther reaches of the people's 
 memory; but twenty-five years ago the 
 echoes of the guns had hardly died 
 away — the minds of the people were 
 still inspired. It was an awful, and a 
 splendid, experience for the Nation. It 
 is not necessary, with Emerson, 'al- 
 ways to respect war hereafter'; -but 
 there have been times when it has 
 seemed to me that I would rather be 
 able to wear that little tri-color button 
 of the American 'Loyal Legion' than 
 any other decoration in the world.'

 THE FLAG. 
 
 Here comes The Flag"! 
 Hail it! 
 
 Who dares to drag 
 Or trail it? 
 
 Give it hurrahs, — 
 Three for the stars, 
 Three for the bars, 
 
 Uncover your head to it! ; 
 
 The soldiers who tread to it 
 Shout at the sight of it, 
 The justice and right of it, 
 The unsullied white of it. 
 The blue and red of it, 
 And tyranny's dread of it! 
 
 Here comes The Flag! 
 
 Cheer it! 
 Valley and crag 
 
 Shall hear it. 
 Fathers shall bless it. 
 Children caress it. 
 All shall maintain it, 
 No one shall stain it, 
 Cheers for the sailors that fought on 
 
 the wave for it, 
 Cheers for the soldiers that always 
 
 were brave for it. 
 Tears for the men that went down to 
 
 the grave for it! 
 Here comes The Flag!
