THE LONE-STAR OF LIBERIA.

'All hail, Liberia! hail!
Arise and now prevail
O'er all thy foes.

In truth and righteousness,
In all the Arts of Peace,
Advance and still increase
Though hosts oppose !

'At the loud call we rise,
And press toward the prize
In glory's race.

All redolent of fame,

The land to which we came,
We breathe the inspiring flame,

And onward press.

'Here Liberty shall dwell,
Here Justice shall prevail,
Religion here;

To this, fair virtue's dome,
Meek innocence may come
And find a peaceful home,
And know no fear.'

HILARY TEAGUE OF LIBERIA.

THE

LONE-STAR OF LIBERIA;

Being the Outcome of Reflections on our
Own People.
