OUR Court-rm’! --— ’tis a glorious 1e11d#--
With broad arms stretcht from shore to shore ;—-—--
The proud Pacific chafes her strand,
She hears the dark ;Atlamie roar;
And nurtured on her i mple breast,
A  How marry a good‘:  prospectlies _;
In Na.ture’s wildest grsmdexir cirest,
Enamelled with her’ loveliest dyes.

Rich prairies, deckt with flowers of gold, T
 Like sm1—lit oceans roil afar ;

Broad lakes her e.zere heavens beheld,

Reflecting cleer eaeli trembling; 
And mighty rivers, rsem.1tein—borh,

Go sweeping omvard, clerk and deep,
‘Through forests,where the beimdirzg fawn
‘ Beneath their sheltering b1°e.eehes leap.

And cradled ’mid her clriste1*ieg' hills,
Sweet Vales in dream-like beauty hide,

Where Love the air with music fills,

_ And calm Content aed Peace abide;

For Plenty here her fullness pours,
In rich profusion o’er the land;

And sent to seize her gene1.‘ous stores,
There prewls no T3'rent’s hireling band.

Great Goo! We thank Thee for this home—-—-
This bounteous l3lI‘tl1la.1}{i of the Free ;.

"Where Wanderers from efar may come,
And breathe the air of Liberty ;.--—-

Still mey her flowers untrampled spring,
Her harvests Wave, her cities rise ;

And yet ’till Time shall fold his‘ wing,
Remain earth’s loveliest Paradise!
