The present meeting and this anniversary cheer
ful evidence OF the progress OF the Society To ally
the ut with the past of the chief Of
history 1t is from the light OF the past that we are
enabled to pepeI ate in the ssrss of the future
In this view history was one Of the most important
studies. IL IL does not disclose to the coming
events OF the future, enables to anticipate them
with the certainty Of demonstration. A modern Ro.
writer had said that the study of history had be-
come the order of the day. Abstractions and meta
ply steal speculations had given way experimental
realities to history its analysis and Its philosophy
The learned orator then descsnted upon the great
discoveries Of historical research In Egypt and Nine
web and their Importance NJ confirming the truths
OF the Holy Bible He next followed down the history
Of our country after the discovery America ro the
Pilgrims and the Cavaliers to the Revolution and its
glorious results But the main of the discourse
was the rapid growth and extension OF historical en-
terprise and research in the United States during
last twenty five years and the value of the i'm
mass of historical matter thus collected including
especially, the journals and writings of earlier
Presidents He cor cluded with a beautiful eulogium
upon General Taylor, late an honorary mber Of the
society. He was link connecting with the golden
chain of early history chain which the speaker
hoped would continue unbroken and that our insti.
tuions would remain the bright example OF liberty
regulated by law such 1t Is the happiness Of Ameri
can people to enjoy.
On motion of Rev. Mr. Bethune, Q copy Of the I'D.

from our wealthy citizens for the purpose OF erecting

In glsncing over the quaint chronicles Of the
Indian wars, 1t is pleasant to turn from CORY tales
of savage cruelty, to the few instances where that
cruelty was batied. Pleasantest is such story,
heard by the fading Goals of winter fire, from
the lips Of some good old grandmamma ! have
friend, who is neither grandmother nor aunt
yet she tells me many tale of the olden time.
The incidents of the following story she heard
from the lips Of the principal heroine, who died at
an advanced age, some thirty or forty years ago,
The Massachusetts, colony, as it suffered first,
also suffered most severely from the depredations
of the savages. In the hill-country Of its west
ern frontier, their frequent surprisals and skir-
mishes left the settlers little quiet or peace of
mind Every town had its fort" and for some
years scarcely season passed, when some alarm
did not drive the inhabitants within its walls.
The getting into fort" as it used to be termed
in letters Of that day, came to be anticipated and
provided for almost as naturally as the "getting
in" Of the crops.
At one time, the settlers of the now pleasant
village of S, on account of some menacing
demonstrations had left their og-cabined farms,
and intrenched themselves within their strong
hold. There seemed no imminent danger but
it was time of war, and they knew too well the
risk of carelessness They had remained there
for several months, however, without being seri-
Ously mOlestej, when their stock Of provisions
began to fall short. A council upon the affairs Of
the larder was forthwith held. The nearest point
at which -four could be obtained was fort dis
tant journey of day and half To reach 1t,
they must thread dark forests filled with hostile
Indians. 1t was decided that the men should 20
in q body on the hazardous expedition, leaving
the women and children unprotected for three
days, but, as they trusted safe. Accordingly they
stole out, with mufed tread, just before the dawn
of day, and marched off in solid phalanx, leaving,
besides the boys and one trusty sentinel only the
old and the disabled of their sex to guard their
choicest treasures. The day Of their departure
passed as idly and as tediously as days in the
crowded fort were wont to pass The sun at last
sank lazily down the western slope Of the sky,
throwing shadow -mantles upon the forest trees
that circled the fort around, at safe distance.
The women were sauntering languidly within
or about the barbados; and q group Of boys and
girls, the only things that seemed to retain the
spirit OF life, were playing at "hide and seek "
among the unnumbered old chests, barrels has.
kets and bundles. that made IN the Joint stock o,

The huss thas In the flower shine
WfzAA.s "a kbor there have grown, ~ 49,
Like pilgrims kneeling roSnd sshrEne
Called By It's sanctity alone
No. searching mines aud caves with VOWS
Those gems their fadeless beauty find,
That power arrays on kingy br0ws
To hatter pride and awe mankind
Not by some dark and cunning scheme
Pursued with wesryiog toll and thought,
Not fancying in the idlest dream
That fortune such gift had brought,
That hill received its piny crest,
That sunset cloud its purple robe,
Its dark blue veil the oceans breast,
Its silver armor yonder globe.
No 6uny Mentor needs the fish
That, seeking food and pleasure, roves
Where nature grants him every wish,
In sunny streams or coral groves.
The bird in all its tasks how skilled,
Taught by no sage the use Of spring,
Hc>assyNy Angelo to build,
No wsrbling MendelssOhn to sing.
But not an easy task is life
'roasa was sees la natures plan, Pc
With blessings half completed rife,
The duty and the power of man
That he to errors dark abyss, ..
Or to the rays Of wisdom's sun,
May sink In pain or rise in bliss
That life and universe are one.
When learning opens ali her scrolls,
Explaining each obscure device,
He sees how many worthy souls
Have been delusion's sacrifice;
When science sets with stars his sky,
And reasons lamp his path ilumss,
He sees what CULTS around him lie,
OF bright and cherished hopes the tombs;
Yet knows that love will turn TO light,
And generous deeds to costly gems,
To clothe MS all in robes of white,
And crown our brows with diadems
That bards who siog In ecstasy
or happier homes in lands divine,
Tell family what the earth would be
IL man conformed to Heavens design.
Then may he calmly seek his way
Though thorny doubts before him rise,
And truths obscure and struggling ray
With feeble aid his feet supplies
Angels his weary steps shall count,
His thoughts and hopes hall hsav emily grow,
His heart become q crystal fount
Whence streams of joy shall ever flow.
