THE AMERICAN FLAG

 

ITS USE- ITS FORBIDDEN ABUSE.

The American flag is the symbol of the brotherhood of man.
It stands for courage, for chivalry, for generosity, and honor. No hand must touch it roughly, no hand shall touch it irreverently.

Its position is aloft, to float over its children, uplifting their eyes and hearts by its glowing colors and splendid promise; for un der the stars and stripes are opportunities unknown to any other nation of the world.

The Government commands the people to honor their flag. Men and boys should uncover as they pass the vivid stripes which represent the life blood of brave men, and the stars which shall shine on forever.

It must be raised at sunrise, lowered at sunset. It is not a plaything of the hour; it is a birthright of privilege and integrity. 

It may not be used as staff, or whip, or covering. 

It shall not be marred by advertisement, nor desecrated on the stage. 

It was born in tears and blood. It was baptized in blood and tears.

It has floated since June 14, 1777, over a country of benevolence, refuge, and progress.

It must always be carried upright. To bear the Star Spangled Banner is an honor, to own one- a sacred trust.

It is the emblem of freedom, of equality, of justice for every person and creature as it floats unvanquished, untarnished, over the open door of free education.

 Verses

SONG OF COLUMBUS DAY 

Contributed by 

The Youth's Companion 

AIR: Lyons 

 Columbia my, land! all hail the glad day 

When first to thy strand Hope pointed the way:

Hail him who thro' darkness first followed the Flame 

That led where the Mayflower of Liberty came.

Dear Country, the star of the valiant and free!

Thy exiles afar are dreaming of thee. 

No fields of the Earth so enchantingly shine, 

No air breathes such incense, such music as thine.

Humanity's home! thy sheltering breast

 Gives welcome and room to strangers oppress'd. 

Pale children of Hunger and Hatred and Wrong 

Find life in thy freedom and joy in thy song.

Thy fairest estate the lowly may hold, 

Thy poor may grow great, thy feeble grow bold,

 For worth is the watchword to noble degree, 

And manhood is mighty where manhood is free.

O Union of States, and union of souls! 

Thy promise awaits, thy future unfolds, 

And earth from her twilight is hailing the sun,

That rises where people and rulers are one.

Homesick

 Homesick 

(HYMN) 

By Charles H. Towne 

SOMETIMES when the grind heart city beats on my 
heart
Like a brazen hammer with 
terrible blows,
 I think of a lost garden I knew 
in my boyhood, 
Filled with the scent of the rose. 

And sometimes, w h e n  the 

clamor of life seems end-

less,

 And my soul is bowed with 

its weight and pain 

I think of an old, still apple 

tree in blossom 

At the end of a hawthorn lane.

Oh, do not smile at such simple 

memories! 

They keep us young, they 

keep the man-heart right. 

And some time we will all go 

back contented 

To a Garden, and a Tree, in a place of light.

THE ORIGINAL HISTORICAL  HYMN, RECITATION,  MOTION SONG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN THIS ARTICLE IS  PRESENTED AS IT WAS FOUND IN THIS HISTORICAL AGRICULTURAL MAGAZINE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL HYMN OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE STATES OF SOUTH DAKOTA AND THE NORTH DAKOTA,  AND THE ORIGINAL RECITATION, WHICH REACHED US FROM THE DAYS OF THE PILGRIMS WHO REACHED THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CENTURIES AGO. THE ORIGINAL HYMN, RECITATION AND MOTION SONG WAS SERIOUSLY STILL CHANTED IN THE CELEBRATIONS OF THE EASTER MORNING AND THE FATHERS DAY AND MOTHERS DAY  IN THE STATES OF NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA IN THE YEAR OF 1921.

Charles Hanson Towne has been most widely known and admired as a poet, but since the appearance of his novel "The Chain," which was pubLished during the summer, his fame has spread rapidly through another field. Portland people who were fortunate enough to meet Mr Towne personally. during his visit to Portland. or ,who heard him speak at any of the public functions. held in honor of the
"Putnam Party". know that he is a clever punster. Many of his remarks such as "Poets are born, not paid;" "The wages of gin is breath;" "Out, where the vest begins;" etc. are still gleefully quoted.

 Mr Towne WAS a contributor to a number of the best known national magazines and has recently been made fiction editor of Metropolitan.

An Indian Lullaby

 An Indian Lullaby 

(A HYMN)

Rock-a-by, rock-a-by, little brown baby.
Safe on the green branch so high,
 Shut your bright black eyes and go 
sleep, baby, 
While the wood-wing sings, "Hush- 
a -by-by." 

"Hush-a-by-hush" 'tis the voice of 

forest, 

"Hush-a-by-hush "the leaves seem 

to say, 

"Hush-a-by-hush" sing the wild birds 

in chorus, 

Up in the tree tops so far, far away.

Rock-a-by, rock-a-by, swinging so  

gently,

See, from the dark woods so cool and 

so deep, 

The little gray squirrel, the timid 

brown rabbit

 Are coming to see if papoose is

asleep.

Mother will watch by her little brown 

baby, 

Swinging aloft on the green branches 

so high, 

No harm can come to the little brown 

baby 

Hush-a-by, rock-a-by, hush-a-by-by.

1. "How much do you suppose our turkey weighs?"

THANKFUL- BY MARY E WILKINS FREEMAN 

This tale is evidence that Mrs Freeman understands the children of New England as well as she knows their parents There is a doll in the story but boys will not mind this as there are also two turkey gobblers and a pewter dish full of Revolutionary bullets 

2. THANKSGIVING AT AN OLD TOWN.

HOW WE KEPT THANKSGIVING AT OLDTOWN -BY HARRIET BEECHER STOWE The old- time New England Thanksgiving has been described many times, but never better then by the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in her less successful but more artistic novel "Oldtown Folks," from which book the following narrative has been adapted 

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE PURITANS- 1895

9895

"Let children hear the mighty deeds 
Which God performed of old, 
Which in our younger years we saw
 And which our fathers told.

"He bids us make his glories known, 
His works of power and grace. 
And we ll convey his wonders down 
Through every rising race.

"Our lips shall tell them to our sons, 
And they again to theirs; 
That generations yet unborn 
May teach them to their heirs.

"Thus shall they learn in God alone 
Their hope securely stands; 
That they may ne'er forget his works; 
But practise his commands."    

This we all united in singing to the venerable tune of St Martin's, an air which the reader will perceive, by its multiplicity of quavers and inflections gave the greatest possible scope to the cracked and trembling voices of the ancients, who united in it with even more zeal than the younger part of the community. 

3. THE VISIT

THE VISIT A STORY OF THE CHILDREN OF THE TOWER BY MAUD LINDSAY

 The children went back to spend Thanksgiving at grandfather's farm. They got into some trouble and were afraid that they would miss their dinner. 

THE RHYMES OF THANKSGIVING

The turkey was brown, the potatoes were sweet, 
The sauce was so spicy, the biscuits were beat, 
The great pumpkin pie was as yellow as gold, 
And the apples were red as the roses, I'm told.

And I m sure you'll agree,
With the children and me, 
That there's never a visit so pleasant to pay 
As a visit to grandma on Thanksgiving Day.

 

4. AN ENGLISH DINNER OF THANKSGIVING

AN ENGLISH DINNER OF THANKSGIVING 

BY GEORGE ELIOT 

Americans are not the only people who hold a feast each year after the crops are gathered into barns. The older boys and girls who wish to know more of the jolly English farmer, Martin Poyser and his household will enjoy reading about them in George Eliot's great novel, "Adam Bede."'

The ceremonial quatrains of Thanksgiving

The ceremony connected with the song was a drinking ceremony. (That is perhaps a painful fact, but then, you know we cannot reform our forefathers.) During the first and second quatrain, sung decidedly forte no can was filled

"Here's a health unto our master, 
The founder of the feast; 
Here's a health unto our master 
And to our mistress!

"And may his doings prosper, 
Whate'er he takes in hand, 
For we are all his servants, 
And are at his command." 

But now immediately before the third quatrain or chorus, sung fortissimo with emphatic raps on the table, which gave the effect of cymbals and drum together, Alick's can was filled, and he was bound to empty it before the chorus ceased.

"Then drink boys drink! 
And see ye do not spill, 
For if ye do, ye shall drink two, 
For tis our master's will."

When Alick had gone successfully through this test of steady-handed manliness, it was the turn of old Kester, at his right hand- and so on, till every man had drunk his initiatory pint under the stimulus of the chorus. Tom Saft the rogue took care to spill a little by accident but Mrs Poyser (too officiously. Tom thought) interfered to prevent the exaction of the penalty.

To any listener outside the door it would have been the reverse of obvious why the "Drink, boys, drink!" should have such an immediate and often-repeated encore; but once entered, he would have seen that all faces were at present sober, and most of them serious; it was the regular and respectable thing for those excel lent farm-labourors to do, as much as for elegant ladies and gentlemen to smirk and bow over their wine glasses. 

THE TRADITIONS OF THANKSGIVING DAY CELEBRATIONS ARE SIMILAR THROUGH THE WHOLE TERRITORIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOWEVER NOT MUCH OF THE OLD STYLE THANKSGIVING RECITATIONS, HYMNS AND GAMES OF THE OLD SOUTH AND THE NORTH OF THE YANKEES HAVE REACHED US TO THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY. THE RECITATIONS OF THE TRADITIONAL QUATRAINS OF THE THANKSGIVING DINNER - WILL HELP TO REVIVE THE TRADITIONS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA- TRADITIONS OF THE THANKSGIVING DAY CELEBRATIONS WE ARE NOT SO MUCH KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT TOO MUCH AS OF TODAY.
