The Immortal Declaration.

The popular idea that the Declaration of In.
dependence was signed on the Fourth of July
and that it was proclaimed from the steps of the
State-House on that day, is incorrect in point o.
fact.
1t was adopted on that day, and ordeIed to be
engrossed on parchment. On the first day Of
July the question was taken in Committee of the
Whole. Every delegate from Pennsylvania
they were seven in number) voted against it,
Two members from Delaware were present. the
other Cesar Rodney being absent The two
Thomas Mexican and George Read, were divi-
ded in opinion. Rodney was sent for, express
by Judge Mexican, and gave his vote for the
Declaration. Pennsylvania and Delaware were
the only States opposed to the measure.
On the Fourth of July, Dickinson, the author
of the Farmers Letters, and Robert Morris, two
delegates from Pennsylvania, were absent. The
vote of Pennsylvania was then given three fol
the Declaration, two contra. Humphreys and
Willing voted against it, 1t was not signed on
the Fourth of July, nor for many days after
wards; and some of the signatures we're affixed
several months afterwards.
Messrs. Morris, Rush, Clymer, Smith, Taylor
and Ross, were not members at that time, hav-
ing been selected by the State Convention or
Goth of July. Matthew Thornton, of New
Hampshire, whose name is affixed to the Dec.
aration, was not appointed until November, '76
On the 9Th of July the Declaration was pub.
licly read to the assembled citizens by Captain
Hopkins, of the Navy, from the observatory Of
the State House yard, about sixty feet south and
twenty feet west of the steeple tower, The OBJ
servatory was erected by Rittehouse, to observe
the transit of Venus, and was a small building
about twenty feet high and fifteen or twenty feet
square.

A good Story and a Moral to it.

GAS the preservation of religion, family ant
property is the Cuckoo Song of the men who
keep up armies, the following little account ex-
hbits extra amiable relations existing between
families in countries where men marry without
love, buying their wives as they would hog OIL
donkey, and, of course, looking upon the aged
sire of the wife, as living nuisance-to be pa
Gated if rich, to be despised and neglected il
poor
"'A merchant of Munich, having obtained a
large fortune, gave each OF his three daughters
considerable large sum, and married them to
three brothers, sons of Of a worthy man of Ham
burgh. He reserved to himselfO large capital,
and his sons-in.law employed all their efforts to
induce him to give it TO them. AT last, by flat
terry and demonstrations of affection, they got the
old mans money But from thai time they be-
gan 10 show indifference for him, and at last to-

One day his youngest daughter went to HIM and
tried to console him. In the course Of CONVERSE

the good will of her and her sisters husbands,
and obtain from them all he needed, by pretend

idea was good one, resolved at once TO act on

Days pass. The old man does not leave his
bed-his memory is failing-he talks, but can
not be understood-he asks questions but they
relrte to the transactions of former generation
he speaks of occurrences, but the recollection
Of no one around him can go back to their
scenes, he seems to commune with comrades
but when he names them, it is found that the
waters of time and oblivion have long covered
their tombs.
Hours pass. The taper grows DINNER and
dimmer-the machinery moves yet more and
more sowly-the sands are fewer as they meas
ure the allotted span. The motion of those
about him is unheeded or becomes vexation,
Each fresh inquiry after his health is knell.--
The spring of life can no longer force on its
wheels-the "silver cord" is fast untwisting--
the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and time
"ls burthen." His children are about him but
he lIeeds them not-his friends are near, he does
not recognize them. The circle is completed.
The course is run-and utter weakness brings
the cold damp, which ushers in the night of
death.
Minutes pass. His breathings grow softer and
lower-his pulse beats fainter and feebler-
Those around him are listening, but cannot tell
when they cease. The embeIs are burnt out
and the blaze flashes not before it expires. His
"three score years and ten" are numbered
Human life is finished.-.N E. GALAXY.

more so when the servant brought the old man
letter, and he exclaimed, what and let an old
friend be embarrassed for ten thousand florins!
And he went and got the sum from his strong
box, saying. There-take it to our master! You
see,' said he, 4 am still rich ? The sons-in'
law were confounded, and each, with great
earnenstness, Immediately pressed the old man to
60 and live with him, promising him that he
should receive every attention, and every thing
he could possibly wish for. But the old man laid
down his conditious-that he should have his
own apartments and domestics, carriage, and
certain sum placed at his disposal. To this the
sons-in-lam eagerly consented. For some time
the old man lived comfortably enough, and
wherever he went he took the precaution to
carry with him his strong box, which was very
heavy. A little while ago he fell i'll. His sons"
in-law pressed him to make his will, but he said
his intention was TO divide the contents of his
strong bex equally between them and friend,
and that they his executors should each have
key. About a fortnight ago he died. By a
wrighting which he left behind him, he directed
that the box should not be opened until five days
after his intermcnt-that he should be buried
with the greatest pomp-and that each pool
man in the town should receive a new suit oi
clothes and FORM At last the day for open
the strong box arrived The sons-in-law, tt
their bitter modification, found, not as they had
expected, money or securities to large amount
but lead and stones.'"

MONTPELIER, ElRNoNT,


| their drowning fellow-t9ulhymen. But their
efforts were attended with but little success (;
very few of the unfortunate crew of the gun-
boats were saved, and tbe next morning the in.
exorable sea threw on shore not less than two
hundred dead bodies, together with the hat Of the
hero Of Marengo!
One poor drummer, from whose recital Con-
stat has transcribed the same account vouched
by many others, after suffering frightful dangers
for more than twelve hours, at length queitly
floated on shore seated on bis chest, having es-
capped with fractured thigh.
The dreadful morning after this sad event was
one of horror and deao.aton throughout the
camp, for but too numerous were the friends re-
cOgnized amongst the bodies which strewed the
sand. The Emperor's grief and remorse were
extreme, and he doubtless bitterly reproached
himself for his injustice towards the admiral,
who was, nevertheless, much blamed for his
laconic answers to the orders given him, which,
in the unlucky humor Napoleon wns then in,
were not likely to calm or make him hear to
reason.
1t is true that the admiral did his duty nobly
in resisting such absurd commands, but his END
in wishing to save so many lives would have
been better answered byihumoring the Empe
ror's weakness, and by understanding to ex
plain, with more gentlenesS, the reasons of bi
disobedence.
The matter was, of course, hushed up as muc
as possible but if Admiral Brulx had acted Ink
another constable of Bourbon, he would hav
had as good an excuse as the ill-treaed cousi
of Francis /.

For The Freeman.
TO MY SISTER.

Dear Sister, we come as we ne'er came before
To our childhood's home, to our own fathers
door;
And vainly, oh, vainly the tear we would stay,
For the living and lov'd have all passed away.
But dear thoughts remain, though the lov'd are
away;
Each nook calls back visions of life's early day.
We GUILD the wild flowers, where the brook
sings along,
When as fresh were our hopes, as sweet was our
song.
That branching old apple-ree, just over the
wall,
We calpd it sour tree" you know, when it was
small;
And we wonder'd, to think " how old we should
be,
When it should have grown to a very large
tree"
This mossy old rock-it is true to the past,-
Meier yet has it yielded to hammer or blast;
Though sober and gray, it has seen much offun,
twas here we dried apples for birds in the sun.
And here, by the side of this hilock, we made
Our house, where with Mary and Jennie we
play'd;
With kitchen, and parlor, and cupboard and all
And often we mimickda a visit or call.
Our bedspreads, how splendid red, yellow and
green,
Made of beautiful leaves, as ever was seen;
They fell from this maple, with stems they were
sew'd-
Our floor, with carpet as brilliant was strew'd
And there stood the school-house, twas old ant
It's gone;
And dost thou remember exoctly the tone?
"The school is commenced-take your seats
shut the door
The first one that laughs shall stand out in the
floor.
And when four o'clock came, the time to dis
MISS"
How glad we're myself, and my dear little sis
And as 'blithsome as bees, we needed not roam
For we were not happy, with mother at home.
What words to stir heart-depths, are mother an
home!
Pm back in twinkIing, to days that are gone
see the armchair where my father was seated
That smile, which so often our coming has greet
ed;
And see pale face, with traces of care
Love and care, such as mothers know, minglin
there;
And fairy forms fitting a..ong us to bless,
Sweet sisters--loDg since with the sleepers
rest
Twere painfully sweet mid these relics to sta

Vivid Ele ctrio Light.

DR.. Static, an American, has been producing
an electric light, which casts the resinated hy-
drogen light whichilluminates the Astor House,
into the shade.
He lately exhibited it in England from the
Sunderland Lighthouse, where it was witnessed
by thousands of admiring spectators. At the
distance of three miles, it gave sufficient light tc
read letter by, and enable several people tc
read newspaper on the stand. The commls
sioners of Light houses went seven miles to sea
and thence looked to the shore. The pier ligh
was invisible; but the electric light ren1aine
