WORCESTER,
WEDNESDAY, July 9, 1923.
Forty-seveah Ann!;vsrsory.


The Anniversary of the Declaration of In
dependence was celebrated in various towns
in this County.--ln This town the usual sa.
lutes were fred, and the day was celebrated
by portion of the democratick party. Their
orator, MIR. Stebbins, we understand acquit-
ted himself we'll. As the celebration, how.
ever, was not arranged by the citizens gener-
ally, it was not generally attended: the
time has gone by when party celebration can
excite much interest. Most of the citizens,
however, noticed the day. Several of the
military companies dned by themselves; small
festive parties were formed and many rode
to Marlborough, Millbury, and Holden.
At Marlborough there was large collec-
ton of people. We give below such partcu-
lars as have been communicated to us.
AT Millbury and Holden the arrangements
were of novel character-wine and toasts
being dispensed with while the orations were
designed to give a more religious cast than
usual to the services Of the day. Both cele-
brations were largely attended. At Holden
there was crowded audience. The Grafton
was by Rev. JOSIAH CLARK. of Rutland, and
was rich treat for the scholar, the patriot. the
philanthrcpst, and the Christian. A-subject.
so often the theme of defamation as
sometimes to become trite and insipid, had
new interest impaired to it by its judcious
connection with higher topick. There was
no ill-timed introduction Of religious doctrine,
or Of moral exhortation. There was no at
tempt to repress the enthusiasm excited by
the occasion, and by the recollection of the
events of our earlier history: Indeed seldom
have we heard a more spirit-strring address.
The influence Of religious character, and of a
love of religious freedom, in the settlement Of
our country, in the achievement of our Inde-
pendence, and on our national prosperity, was
a theme on which patriot and Christian
could not help being eloquent, and to which
scholar could not fail to impart high interest.
We regret that Mr.. Clark declines publishing
his Address; more especially, because if pub
lished it would render the character of the
celebration better understood. The other ser.
vices of the day were--the reading of the
Declaration Of Independence by Rev. Mr..
Boardman, of MISREPRESENTATION
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Avery, of Holden-and
concluding prayer by Rev. Mr.. Hull, of this
town. Several anthems and other pieces of
sacred musick were performed, by the choir Of
the congregational society in Holden, in a
manner which did very great credit to their
skill and taste. The vocal and instrumental
parts were we'll sustained and with great eff
fect--both carrying through quite difficult
passages in perfect time and .ane-a credit to
which we wish more choirs were entitled.
About two hundred and fifty partook of a
substantial dinner provided by Mr.. Abbot;
and nearly one hundred and fifty Ladies dined
together at the house of Lemuel Davis, ESQ.
A large committee was afterwards appoint.
ed to make arrangements for similar cele-
bration next year.

LETTER, 10. 9.
From gentleman in Massachusetts, to his
friend in Providence,
On the recent political change IN Mat SLATE.

VIZ "tc IcIeHt PUtGttut Grunge ~ tNNt ot6!e.
----, JUNE "a, 1928.
Dear Sir-You will perhaps ask why so
little regard the assertion of GOVERNOR Eustis.
in his inaugural speech, as not even to allude
to 1t, after telling yon my sober belief that his
election is not TO be attributed to a revolution
in the views of the people respecting former
measures. The truth is, Sir. did not once
think of that speech, while was penning my
former letter. 1t is such a mere fen de ioy.
and so universally regarded here in that light
only, by men of sense and intelligence, that
any sober attempt to controyert the notion of
a political regeneration would be as ridiculous
as the grave rebuke which our most exempla-
ry old clergyman gave to our waggish friend
- for saying, when inquired of respect
ing the old gentleman's health, that he was
very well phen NOT in liquor.
What then are the causes of the revolution
here' ! can give you several. MIR. Otis is
an unpopular man. He never bad the firm
confidence of the federal party at large His
popularity was local and confined, and of the
partizan cast. He always was moderated by
the country part OF the State. They rallied
round him in high party times, because he was
an orator, and a writer, and leader. He
could draft memorials and remonetrances. and
defend or'attack in town meetings, in the Sem
ate, or in the House of Representatives. more
ably than almost any other man. think he
has been shanefully abused by his party-and
! wash my hands of all the sin and shame of a
sorry ingratitude, not to say treachery, with
which my political friends are, in my view,
chargeable. | believe him to be one of the
ablest and soundest politicians we ever had in
this State: and | feel none of that wisdom
which espies at once that readiness and bril-
lancy are incompatible with solidity and
strength. Long will it be before a man 80
worthy of the first office in Massachusetts,, as
Mr. Otis, will he elected to fill it.
Again--there are thousands of sound feder-
alsts who see no use in keeping up any longer
distinct party division. They are satisfied
with the administration of the national govern
ment. They find most Of the old policy, for
which federaliss formerly commended, and
which democracy formerly exploded, now re-
stored, and in prosperous operation. They
indulge no fears that the violent measures of
1911 will be repeated in this Commonwealth.
They have also no great Partially for num-
Der Of men now in high Office here. and would
willingly see others in their places. Great
disgust has been excited by some appointments
and reflections in the Council Chamber. The
tocsin was sounded in Russell g. Gardners
| paper (}oston Gazette that the Judicial
| ry was in danger from change of adminstra-
ton. This produced no alarm. In the first
place, it was, perhaps, not much believed

With ,auIt'iing step and mournful air,
And brow of saddestthou9ht:
She b.eathes no sigh-she sheds no tear
And vet that beauteous bosom bare
With direst grief is fraugbt.
st. Bertrand's walls the vow had heard,
Ere evenings veper bell had rung;
And now st BeItrsnd's shrine rever'd
Shall hear her funeral anthem sung
At midnight's dreary hour.
For she who did her vow forsake,
And dares her ~cloister cell to fly,
Who dared the holy nissal break,
The a~postate wretch Is doomed to die
Beneath st. Bernard's tower.

Rides gaily roand the convent bower

Too soon she hears thssyren knight
With whispers soft, and b,iial vow,
With him to fly ere mornings light
And she, TAR mad, hath bravd IL now,
What long her love shall roe.
Deep tolrd the bell the midnight chime;
The maiden, from her turret high,
With beating heart lath marked the time
That warns ner with her love to fly
And now she must BECOME.
But, oh that hour has sealed her doom,
For treachery mark'd her as its prey,
And now she falls in life's best BLOOM!
Yet she who basely did betray
Shall live to wish she'd ne'er been born.
