It was no longer to be the commerce of New York, or of Massachusetts, but of the United States, to be carried on under that star-spangled banner, which was to bear to every shore, and over every sea, the glorious motto, E Pluribus Unum. At the second session, of the first Congress, the United States Bank was established.
No other nurse and no other tune but "Nancy Lee" will do neither the "Star-Spangled Banner" nor "The Babies on our Block."
"I'll go and get something to eat and drink, and then try what I can do." In this spirit he rose from his couch, feeling stiff and awkward, grunted, stretched, and then stood in the tent door looking out upon the glorious, star-spangled sky, noting that it was lighter towards the east, where the moon was about to rise. "Ought to be able to sleep," he said.
They were necessary, that the star-spangled banner of America should rise over a new Sinai the Mountain of Law for all nations.
Blackness grew under the furze caverns, and the last glimpse of the estuary faded away in a steely glimmer; a brown ghost of an owl slid low over the spiked ramparts, and wings the wings of fighting wild-duck coming up from the sea to feed "spoke" like swords through the star-spangled blue-black canopy of heaven. The night-folk began to move abroad.
As to the Yankees, they had no other ambition than that of taking possession of this new continent of the sky, and to plant upon its highest summit the star-spangled banner of the United States of America. The Cambridge Observatory had, in its memorable letter of October 7th, treated the question from an astronomical point of view the mechanical point had still to be treated.
They seem to be luminous of themselves, so vividly do they stand out in their clear rose against the deep blue of the star-spangled vault. And this apparent radiation from within, by its lack of likelihood, makes them seem more awful. And all around is the desert; a corner of the mournful kingdom of sand.
And now we suddenly discovered something at once interesting and disconcerting an American flag floating from a tree in the background. "The place is rented, then," said Francesca, "to some enterprising American or some star-spangled Irishman who has succeeded in discovering Devorgilla before us. I well understand how the shade of Columbus must feel whenever Amerigo Vespucci's name is mentioned!"
The only materials available were some red bunting, some white bunting, and some blue bunting with stars dotted upon it. With this bunting the Committee on Reception covered the speakers' stand, wrapping the canopy under which the orators stood in the solid colours and the star-spangled blue. It was beautiful to see, and the pride of the window-dresser of the Golden Eagle Clothing Store.
There, every horse is down. The guns are now silent. A knot of men, with clubbed rammers, bayonet thrusts, and quick revolver shots, fight for the smoking cannon. A cheer goes up. De Gress's guns are taken. Peyton turns his head to catch a glimpse of Colonel Valois. Grasping the star-spangled guidon of the battery with his bridle hand, Valois cuts down its bearer.
