symbol 81 The number and union of the colo.
Mes This union Gag is mentioned as being
worn BY the feet under Hopkins in February,
l776, but was not the one hoisted by Paul
Jones'
The union Gag Of :hirteen plain stripes pre-.
vailed for about year and half when the
happy taste Of some unknown individual sug.
geseed a new establishment, and it received
the addition of the stars, by resolution of
congress, in the following words:
In congress, June 14th. 1777, ResoIped,
That the flag of the United States be thirteen
stripes, alternately red and white; that the
uninn be thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
lepresenting a new constellation
As new states we're added to the Union
from time TO time new stripes were added to
the flag, ill the number had increased to if
teen or twenty. Al length, about thirty years
ago. the stripes were reduced BY the act OF
congress to the original numbcr-thrteen.

Touching story.

The London Sailors Magazine contains s
a statement, copied from Morayian paper at
Labrador, of the wreck Of an Englisf-ssssssl
(the Graham1 in Hudson's Bay. and the hard
ships and privaiions Of portion Of the crew
during a lonely voyage in their boats Of near
ly eight hundred miles, to one Of the outermost
islands in the Bay Of 0kak. Here they we're
approached by two Esquimaux savages, in
their kayaks. At first the sight Of thens in
spired alarm, but upon an examination Of their
countenances. the captain was induced to ber4
liexe they were not ill-disposed. On nearing
the shore, they found that four Esquimaux
farniIies had their temporary dwellings, there.
The Esquimaux, on seeing the destitute con
dition of the shipwrecked voyagers. gave them
a large Goldfish, ard invited them on shore
But not altogether relieved Of apprehension.
they did not venture at once to accept thein-
vitation.
AT length, they that were able to walk,went
on shore, where they heard the women
ehaunting, as they afterwards learned, hymn
of praise to God for their deliverance; saw
them afterwards engaged in washing their
Clothes and presently preparing meal of fsh
and seals flesh for their refreshment; the har-
dy mariners were overcome, says the writer
and burst into tears The secret of this con-
duct was in the fact that a christian mission
had been established, long before, on that drea-
ry coast, and thus icy Labradore responded %
the benign influence of christianity.
