FOURTH OF JULY.
Again our country's natal star
Is brightly cleaning from afar;
Again the shout of joy is heard
Aloft our banner-freedom's bird.
dependence returned. The fire of patriotism is
again enkindled upon our affairs, and we are cal
led upon to pour out our sacrifice at the shrine of
freedom. 1t is well that it is SO. On the return
of that day, when the political connection which
we bore to the mother country was dissolved
when we assumed separate national being, all
hearts should beat joyfully with gratitude and adj
miration for those who fought the battles of lib
erty. 1t was theirs to give-it is ours to pre-
serve. They established the institutions of the
land-it is our duty to maintain them in their
primitive purity. They bequeathed us the bles-
sings of good government and rational freedom,
and posterity expects that we shall not squander
the inheritance. How great-how fearful the re-
sponsibiity which rests upon us.
The eyes of the world are turned towards tho
workings Of our experiment of selfgovernment,
and the minions of despotism would rejoice should
this fair fabric of liberty and Justice tremble to
its foundation-should it again sink to that moth
ingness from which it arose. Let the recollec-
tons of the past ever be beforeus Let that spir-
it which was the star of hope to our fathers in
their seven long years of toll and danger, be with
us, as guide to our actions. Let us never lose
sight of those principles which urged them for
ward-let us not cease to remember the great po-
litical truths which they inculcated, and which
they have left as lasting memorial of their wis
dom.
1t is true, tho events Of the past year bring
row to the patriots bosom. A lowering cloud
has hung over the destinies of our people. The
spirit of faction has shown itself in our midst
its voice has been heard, minglng with the troub-
led waters of popular excitement. Ruin and de-
ISOLATION have swept over the pecuniary affairs of
our countrymen, but they have brought lesson
of wisdom in their train. They have shown that
all earthly things are feeting and transitory un.
certaln-unstable. That "riches take to them
selves wings and flee away" They have shown
the stability of our institutons-that their foun-
dations cannot be shaken. That lot come what
may upon our people, the great mass will stand
firm amid the descending storm. That the link
which binds us to them, cannot-will not for
slight and insufficient causes, be riven asunder.
The Fourth of July has dawned upon us-the
hour of universal jubilee;-
How glorious, pure, and grand
The spectacle, when DER the land,
Thousands at freedoms altar meet
To hail the day we love to greet.
This is day hallowed ty the deeds ofou fathers.
A day consecrated to the cause of freedom. On
its annual return, ''illuminations, bonfires" and
gay rejoicings are seen in every part of the land
1t is ushered in by the roar of cannon and the
song of liberty. The usual avocations of life arc
suspended, and all participate in tho general
| thanksgiving.

POETRY.
From the Knickerbocker for 1897.

Laughing Spring her court is Keeping
See, with garlands green and gay,
Nature frcm her torpor leaping,
Wreathes the brow of merry May.
Nav, sweet May! the violets love her
AT her summons forth they start;
Bursting buds the branches cover
Life hath stirred the blossoms heart
Dreamy haze floats round and DER us
Earths rich incense to the sun
And the streams that, frozen, bore usi
Bubble laughter as they run;
Forest birds are improvising
Love songs in the greenwood shade;
Wings are darting, futering, rising,
Through the copse, and DER the glade.
Forms like shafts flight are sweeping
Through the lake, in circles wide,
And the gli,tening snake is sleeping
On the mountains sunny side.
Life through insect tribes is thrilling,
Senseless late in winters trance,
And the germs of flowers are filling,
Der whose leaves their wings shall glance
Glorious Spring that doth re-capiurc
From stern Winters tomb its prey,
Spread abroad the wing Of rapture,
Hangs the leahet on the spray;
Once again my heart rejoices,
As thread the greenwood free,
And ~, c,,;,it from lie vnicps
Drinks in wordess poesyl

'EyHE subscribers aware that there is n mum
y Der of kinds Of Trusses already before the pub.
c but from experience themselves, and from the
tmony Of others who have worn them, they in n.
duced to believe that Truss better adapted to the
wants Of that portion Of the community that have
the misfortune 10 have Hernia or Rupture, might
be made, andbyhe help Of a kind Providence they be
eve that they have been enabled to invent Truss
preferable to any other nov known. II is decidedly
the safest and easiest TO wear, and is a secure banier
against the escape of the viscera without in the least
degree cndangeriug the adjacent spermatc cord.
From the credit that they have already gained in the
last year, where they have been used and from the
certificates of numbers who have been cured by
wearing them. and from the recommendations of
Surgeons and Physicians who have seen them. and
the general appreciation that the Truss has received
wherever has heen used and examined the subscrl-
bers can with confidence, offer them to an enlight-
ened public fully believing that all that is necessary
to for them in all places where they offered

Six days is sufficient TO satisfy any person of their
superiority-and that time Ill be allowed to every
ono who buys Truss to return it If he choose.
Persons at a distance obtain Truss to fit, by
sending the number of feet and inches they measure
round and on which side the Truss is to be applied
The subscribers have in their possession a large
number of Certificates in relation 10 the merits and
superiority of their Truss, which believed to be
sufficient to carry conviction TO the mind of the
incredulous. They subloin few only.
