Hail, Columbia

The band was real discouraged the second time.

Was playing Hail Columbia for all she was worth.

I know about that.

The Herald man got onto it yesterday.

Um, and the Union was for him what he had given his life to as a United States officer.

Uh, he, as he said, he wished, um, no other song than Hail Columbia and wished no other flag but the Stars and Stripes.

However, he had drawn long before- Um, 1861, a very firm red line, and that is that, uh, if the union is dis- dissolved, uh, and the government disrupted, uh, and his state was attacked, in that case, he would defend his state.

Now, but his state, of course, was attacked because his state seceded, and he was against secession.

The band was real discouraged the second time.

It was plain Hail Columbia for all she was worth.

I know about that.

Lastly, a small covered basket, slung on this rope, was seen hitching along, drawn either way by a set of strings.

Then, as if satisfied with his job, Frank retired, whistling Hail Columbia.

It's those children at their pranks again.

I thought broken bones wouldn't keep them out of mischief long.

He submitted, however, rather than spoil the grand finale, hoping that its beauty would efface that ill-timed pleasantry from the public mind.

So when the agreeable clamor of hands and voices called for a repetition, the minuteman reappeared, grimmer than before, but not alone, for grouped all about his pedestal were Washington and his generals, the matrons and maids, with a background of troops shouldering arms, Griff and Joe doing some rash things with their muskets that more than one hero received a poke in his august back.

Before the full richness of this picture had been taken in, Ed gave a rap, and all burst out with, Hail Columbia, in such an inspiring style that it was impossible for the audience to refrain from joining, which they did, all standing and all singing with a heartiness that made the walls ring.

The fife shrilled, the horn blew sweet and clear, the fiddle was nearly drowned by the energetic boom of the drum, and out into the starry night, through open windows, rolled the song that stirs the coldest heart with patriotic warmth and tunes every voice to music.

"I believe everyone should know that hymn and sing it," she declared, "if he sings no other.

I would like to have the children sing it into their very souls till it becomes a part of them." She strongly favors patriotic services in the churches on the Sunday preceding the Fourth of July, when she would like to hear such airs as America, Hail Columbia, and The Star-Spangled Banner, and see the sacred edifices draped in red, white, and blue.

Unheralded benefactions.

Miss Gould has a strong prejudice against letting her many gifts and charities be known, and even her dearest friends never know what Helen's doing now.

And we've all got to fit into his kitchen garden scheme of things.

Hail Columbia.

The soul of man is a dark forest, the Hercynian wood that scared the Romans so, and out of which came the white-skinned hordes of the next civilization.

Who knows what will come out of the soul of man? The soul of man is a dark, vast forest with wildlife in it.
