And well forgets this vain earth's gloom and

Beating her prison house and bonds OF clay,
She strives to mingle with the good and fair.

PORTLAND, TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1893.

The 4th inst. was celebrated in this town in
a style suited TO the occasion. Statutes were fir
ed by the National Troops at the Fort at sunrise
! noon, and at sunset, and by Capt. LoWELL's
! Company Of Artillery at noon AT nine a. M.
a numerous congregation from the several soci-
ties in town attended religious services at the
! Episcopal Church ,aereeably to previous arrange
ment,
The exercises, breathing fcrvent spirit Of
Thanksgiving and praise, were suitably adapted
10 the occasion. Rev. Mr.. RIPLEY offered a
very appropriate Introductory prayer, Rev. Mr..
len BRoECK delivered an address in which were
happily united a brief recapitulatiou Of revolu-
tiOnary events with pious reflections and serious
admonitons. In recalling to memory the gIori-
Gus events of past times, and the happy termin-
alton Of the arduous struggle, which gave birth
to nation, he forcibly impressed The idea, that
while political ,benefactors are entitled to public
gratitude, yet we should never lose sight of the
more important truth, thN these are but second
causes, and instruments in the hands of the great
author OF every blessing, who rules the destinies
OF nations, and orders all events. Rev. Mr.
TAYLOR offered the concluding prayer. The
exercies were interspersed with admirable mu-
sic, and the hymns were happily chosen. 1t was
peculiarly gratifying to witness the harmonious
union Of different religious societies-We could
scarcely forbear the exclamation 6 behold how
good and bow pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together in unity"
After which the citizens paid their respects
TO the GOVERNOR, and partook collation. with
him in the Senate Chamber. At noon process
sion was formed by the municipal authority,
composed Of the Governor and Council, Citizens
of the town and strangers, and proceeded under
the escort OF Capt. HENLEYs, Infantry Compa-
ny, to the Rev. DIR. NICHoLs's Church. A very
appropriate and excellent prayer was offered by
