3 And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, 
’Mid the havoc of war, and the battle’s confusion. 
A home and a country they’d leave us no more ? 
Their blood has washed out their foul footstep’s pollution. 
No refuge could save the hireling and slave, 
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave. 
Chorus.— And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave, &c. 
4 O, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand 
Between their loved homes and war’s desolation ! 
Blessed with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued land. 
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. 
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, 
And this be our motto: “ In God is our trust!” 
Chobus. —And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave, &c. 
intended to any, we are linked like a band of broth¬ 
ers,” but the types were wrong, and said “ we are 
licked , etc.” A Missouri paper informed its readers 
that the wife crop of Gasconade County, was 25,000 
gals.; but before bachelors could profit by such a 
fine opportunity, the mistake was corrected by put¬ 
ting wine in place of wife. 
The Cunning Will. 
A wealthy old lady had a nephew and niece, and a 
more distant relative, a young lady; these were the 
only persons to whom her property would descend 
by law, when she should die. The first two al¬ 
ways made a great show of affection when they vis¬ 
ited her, which was but seldom, although she wish¬ 
ed that one of them might live with and care for 
her in her old age. But neither would consent to 
this, and she therefore employed the young lady as 
a servant. The old lady was very pious, and spent 
much time with her Bible : and her young compan¬ 
ion, who was also a sincere Christian, loved nothing 
better than to read to her from its consoling pages. 
She was faithful in her duties, not merely because 
paid for it, but she was sincerely attached to her 
mistress, and delighted to promote her comfort. 
In time, the old lady died, and after the funeral, 
according to custom, alawycrcameto open and read 
the will in presence of the surviving relatives. It 
ordered all her possessions to be divided into three 
parts. The first portion was to consist of the house 
and lands surrounding it; the second, of the furni¬ 
ture, plate and jewelry, of which there was a large 
quantity, and the third was only the old Bible 
which had afforded her so much happiness in life. 
It was further directed that the nephew should 
have the first choice of his portion, then the niece, 
and the young lady should have the remaining part. 
The nephew instantly chose the house and farm, 
which were valuable, saying in a sneering tone, 
“ The old lady was not to be fooled by pretended 
devotion, she well knew who were her friends;” 
meaning by this to east reflections upon the faith¬ 
ful servant. The niece was equally unkind, for she 
said: “Since Janet loved the old Bible so well, of 
course she would prefer I should leave it for her, 
and I will therefore take the furniture and plate.” 
Janet’s only reply on receiving the Bible was: “I 
am content: this book is to me a treasure, and I 
find in it more than wealth can give.” 
When all was over, and Janet retired to her room, 
she turned at once to her Bible, to find some pas¬ 
sage that might soothe her wounded feelings. 
What was her astonishment to find, laid between 
its leaves, bank notes amounting to more than a 
hundred thousand dollars, which had been placed 
there on the day of the old lady’s death, and which 
made up the bulk of her fortune! So you see how 
in this instance, greediness outwitted itself, and 
true devotion was abundantly rewarded. Don’t 
forget though, that Jauet would have been happier 
with her book alone, and a contented heart, than 
the others could possibly be while they cherished 
the evil feelings of avarice and jealousy.
