HISTORICAL INCIDENT.

Rev. John Marsh in an address before tue
Greene County Temperance Society. n. Y,
in which he eloquently enforced the doctrine
that Protection is the birthright Of freemen,"
introduced the following historical incident
A beautiful story has been told of little
boy who was placed at the door Of hall at
Philadelphia, TO give notice 10 the old bellman
in the steeple when the Declaration of indie
pendence should have been signed. The old
man long waited at his post saying, 'They
will never do it, they will never do IT," when
he heard shout below. He gazed upon the
pavement below and there stood the blue eyed
boy clapping his hands and shouting, ring,
RingW Grasping the iron tongue of thu
bell, backwards and forwards he hurled il, a
hundred times proclaiming elderly 10 the
land and and the inhabitants thereof" That
sound crossed the Atlantic, pierced the dun
geons Of Europe, The workshops ~ England
the vassal fields OF France. That sound
spoke to the slave, bid him look from his tod
and know himself man. That echo startled
kings from their crumbling thrones. Yes and
the voice of that little boy lifting himself on
nptoe and shouting Ring, has come down to
US and bids us hing the rumsellers' doom and
proclaim liberty 10 our land and the world.
We will shout TO every patriot every father
and mother, every orator and every preacher
Ring and we will sound through The world,
I'VE WILL BE FREE"
