Soon shall the appointed angel stand
O'er earth, and air, and sea,

And swear by Him who ever lives,

Time shall no longer be.

Then shall the league of nature cease,

The sun forsake his way,

And months and years their measure lose In one eternal day.

LESSON CI:

THE CONSTITUTION.

Those names shall long remembered be,
Who made the declaration;
That blest by Providence they'd be

A free and happy nation.

Let each young heart be glad that hears
About our nation's glory;

And every one in infant years
Be taught the joyful story.

The eagle o'er our banner flew,
An emblem proud of freemen;
To guard Columbia's gallant few
Of landsmen and of seamen.
And now secure in peace we rest,
Let's join the resolution,

While still by Providence we're blest,
To guard the Constitution.

PATRIOTIC SONG.

L. Mason.

1. Before all lands in east or west, I love my na-tive

land the best, With God's best gifts 'tis teeming; No gold nor

D:

jew-els here are found, Yet men of noble souls abound, And

eyes of joy are gleaming, And eyes of joy are gleam-ing.

1 Before all lands in east or west,
I love my native land the best,
With God's best gifts 'tis teeming;
No gold nor jewels here are found,
Yet men of noble souls abound,
And eyes of joy are gleaming,
And eyes, &c.

2 Before all tongues in east or west,
I love my native tongue the best;
Though not so smoothly spoken,
Nor woven with Italian art:

Yet when it speaks from heart to heart,
The word is never broken.
The word, &c.

3 Before all people east or west,
I love my countrymen the best,
A race of noble spirit:-

A sober mind, a generous heart,
To virtue trained, yet free from art,
They from their sires inherit.
They from, &c.

4 To all the world I give my hand,
My heart I give my native land:
I seek her good, her glory;

I honor every nation's name,

Respect their fortune and their fame,

But I love the land that bore me.
But I love, &c.

THE HAPPY SCHOOL BOY.

1. I'll a- way, I'll a-way, like a

pleasant boy,

I'll not stay, come away; it shall be my joy

hour is up, the time is past, When the heart is

glad, time flies so fast; Then away, then away, like a

pleasant boy, We will play and will stu-dy in turn.

2 Who's afraid, who's afraid, of a little toil,
Or to work in the rain or the sun;

Study hard, study hard, 'tis but for a while,
And your work will the sooner be done.

When the heart's content, the mind is clear,
When the sun shines out, the scene 'twill cheer;
Come away, come away, like a merry boy
With a tug, and a pull, and a smile!

3 When I play, I will play, like a pleasant boy,
And my play shall be cheerful and free;
When I work, I will work, like a Yankee boy,
With a right good will it shall be:

At work or play, endeavor still,
To do it all with right good will,
Then away, then away, O Yankee boy,
With a smile, and a pull, all so free.

4 Let's away with a cheer, with a glad hurrah!
Like a man I will toe to the mark;

Leave my play-all my play at the school room door With a heart like a cheerful lark.

And I will work all the time I'm there,

I'll keep each rule, and I'll work with care, Come away, haste away, there's the school bell, hark! I will be the very first one there.
