Trace the virtues each possest; (bis) Then, then shall we, jealous of honour, yet Shrink not to share their grave, For pride, o'ercoming vain regret, Avenges still the brave! To arms, ye warriors all! etc.

Amour sacre de la Patrie, Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs; Liberie, Liberie cherie, Combats avec tes de'fenseurs! (bis) Sous nos drapeaux que la Victoire Accoure a tes males accents; Que tes ennemis expirants Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire! Aux armes, citoyens! etc.

That sacred love the love of country, Spurs on afresh our eager arms, And for conquest and for freedom,

We

dare the vast alarms! (bis) Speedily then, crowning heroic deeds, Triumph shall lift each head And our One Flag fly proudly o'er The living and the dead! To arms, ye warriors all! etc.

Too long cruel tyrants have trampled us under, The chains they have forged us are riven asunder: The Scions of Italy rise in defiance, Her flag nobly flutters where breezes are kind: To landward and seaward, the Foe shall be broken, Where Heroes have gathered, where Martyrs have spoken, And Italy's Throne shall be rooted in Freedom, Whilst Monarch and people are all of one mind: Then hurl our fierce foemen, etc.

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

Banner were written by Francis Scott Key, son of John Ross Key, an officer 1, 1779, and died Jan. 11, 1843. The words were written Sept. 14, 1814, under the following circumstances: After burning Washington, the British advanced towards Baltimore, and were met by a similar number of Americans, most of whom were captured and taken to the large fleet then preparing to attack Fort McHenry. Among the prisoners taken at Bladensburg, was a Doctor Beanes, an intimate friend of Mr. Key. Hoping to intercede for the Doctor's release, Mr. Key, with a flag of truce, started in a sail-boat for the Admiral's (Cockburn) vessel. Here he was detained in his boat, moored from the stern of the flag-ship, during the

Ferdinand Durang, who belonged to a dramatic company, and had played in a Baltimore theatre with John Howard Payne, read the poem effectively to the soldiers encamped in that city, who were expecting another attack. They begged him to set the words to music, and he hunted up the old air of "Adams and Liberty," set the words to it, and sang it to the soldiers, who caught it up amid tremendous applause.

GOD SAVE THE KING

The authorship of this soul-stirring song has long been disputed; but the weight of authority would appear to show that Henry Carey wrote both the words and the air, and himself sang them at a dinner given in 1740
to cele-

brate the taking of Portobello by Admiral Vernon on Nov. 20, 1739. The earliest known printed copy was published in the "Harmonia Anglicana" (1742 or '43); the tune, while substantially similar to that now in vogue, differs from the latter in several bars, notably in the special stress laid on the word "save." In 1745, during the Scottish Rebellion,

became widely known by being sung in the theatres as "a loyal song or anthem," its first public presentation at Drury Lane on Sept. 28. Dr. John Bull and, more recently, a certain Scottish musician named James Oswald, have been brought forward by various writers to dispute Carey's claim.

In honor of them the delighted Parisians gave it the name it now bears, and almost immediately the rousing strains of "La Marseillaise" were heard in every corner of France.

LA BRABANCONNE
Quite unlike the other European National Anthems is the one associated with Belgium, although this also sprang up in the very breath of battle. The words were written during the revolution of 1830, when the country obtained her freedom, and the author, Louis Dechez, surnamed Jenneval, was killed in action near Antwerp. The music

was composed by Francois van Campenhout, who was born at Brussels

in

1779 and

that Tsar Nicholas

commanded General Alexis who had accompanied him on his travels, to write something to equal or even surpass "God save the King." The General, who was a good musician and recognized as a fine violinist in several of the great cities of Europe, and who had composed operas and much church music, set to work on words written by Joukovsky, and so in 1883 the stately anthem was given to the world. The Tsar was so delighted with the composition, that he gave orders that it was to be immediately adopted by the whole Army, and to be performed at all important concerts, and even included in presentations on the stage. He presented Lwoff with a magnificent gold snuff-box set with diamonds, and commanded that the words "God save the Tsar" should be introduced into the armorial bearings of the 'omposer's family. The General became Director of the Royal Court Chapel, and filled many posts of honor. He
