Grafton delivered by William Ciiu,nas cro,
Esq, mt Homer, July 4, 1910.

Friends and EehloW Citizens:
Slxtyfour years have elapsed since a
venerable assemblage of our forefathers
convened in Philadelphia, and promulga-
ted to the world those noble sentiments of
freedom contained in our celebrated De-
claration of Independence ;-sentiments,
the uttering of which, at that time, was at
the risk of a most ignomnious death, and
which, ifunsuccessfully sustained, would
have doomed the authors TO infamy and
disgrace ;-sentiments which, now they
have been successfully sustained and act
ed on, have raised our country to the high
est pinnacle of celebrity and honor, and
made it beacon light to guide all, who,
tired of the despotisms under which Eu-
rope now groans, bear in their breasts
one kindred feeling with freemen, to a
home, where it is the glorious boast, that
we are all Of one family-all free, equal,
and independent: sentiments, which have
shaken the thrones oftyrants to their base,
and threatened the trembling occupants
with destruction sentiments. which
crowned heads have heard with terror,
and which even the most ardent lovers of
liberty had scarcely dared to hope would
be successful. But the time had at length
arrived when the accumulated wrongs and
oppression Of the British government had
rendered forbearance no longer virtue
when all were ready to exclam in the
words of Henry, "Give me liberty, OF
give me death !" when men would suffer
the infamy ofbeing stigmatized as rebels,
and pour out their hearts blood like water
rather than longer submit to the tyranni.
cal oppression Of the British government
"a government which could not under.
stand their wants, and which, notwith.
standing the most calm and respectful re.
monstrances and the most humble petit
tons, continued to shower down like hal
upon the colonies those very grievances
for relief from which they were implor
ing. The Colonists had raised the voice
Of supplication. For wanton outrage ant
indignity they had returned expostulatior
and memorial, but without avail. Locus

LITERARY MISCELLANY


She rose from her untroubled sleep,
And put aside her soft brown hair,
And, in tone as low and deep
AS loves first whisper, brcathed prayer
Her sncw-white hands together press'd--
Her blue eye SHELTERED in its lid
The folded linen OH her breast
Just swelling with the charms it hid
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped bare and slender foot,
Whose fall upon the earth did press
Like a snow-whitc flake, soft and mute
And there from slumber soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven.
She bowed her light and graceful form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
oh God! if souls az unsoiled as these
Need daily mercy at thy throne
If she, upon her Bonded knees,
Our lovelicst and Cur purest one
She, with face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child Of light
If she, with those soft ewes in tears,
Day after day, in her first years,
Must knccl and pray for grace from Thee,
What far, far deeper need have WEI
How hardly, if she win not heaven.
Viii! our wild errors be forgiven
