AMERICAN LIFE.

“My native land! my native land!—
To whom my thoughts will fondly turn;
For her the warmest hopes expand,
For her the heart with fears will yearn—
Oh! may she keep her eye like thee.
Proud eagle of the rocky wild,
Fixed on the sun of Liberty,
By rank, by faction unbeguiled.”

Charles W. Thomson.
