THE DAY OF SHALL THINGS.

Sometime arterward, it was reported to me, by
the city officers, that they had lerre'cd out The pa.
per and it's editor that his Office was an Obscure
hole, his only visible auxiliary a negro 10y, and
his supporters q few very insignificant persons d
all colors."-IIon. II. G.. Otis's Letter.
In a small chamber, fricndless, and unseen.
Toiled Ger his types one poor unlcornod young
man;
The place was dark, unfurniturcd, and mean -
Yet there the freedom Of a race began.
Help came but slowly surely no man yet
Put lever to the heavy world with less
What need of help? lie knew how types were
set,
lie hod a dauntless spirit and a press.
Such earnest natures arc the frery pith,
The compact nucleus, round with systems grow;
Mass after mass becomes inspired herewith,
And whirls impregnated with the central glow.
Oh Truth oh Freedom how are ye still born
In the rude stable, in the mNnger hurst!
What humble hands unbar those gates of morn
Through which the splendors of the New Day
burst!
What shall one monk, scarce known beyond his
cell.
Front Rome's far-reaching bolts, and scorn her
frown ?
Brave Luther answered Yes! that thunder's swell
Rocked Europe, and disarmed the triple crown,
Whatever can be known Of earth, we know,
Sneered Europo's wise men in their snail shells
curled;
No said one man in Genoa, and that no
Out of the dark created this new world.
Who is it will not dare himself to trust2
Who is it hath not strength to stard alone?
Who is it thwarts and bilks the inward MUST?
lie and his works, like sand, from earth ar,
blown,
Men of thousand shifts and wiles, look here,
See one straightforward conscience put in pawn
10 win a world see the obedient sphere
BY Bravery's simple gravitation drawn!
Shall we not heed the lesson taught of old,
And by the Presents lips repeated still,
In our own single manhood to be bold,
Fortressed in conscience and imprcgnable will ?
We stride the river daily at its spring,
Nor, in our childish thoughtlessnes, foresco
What myriad vassal streams shall tribute bring,
How like an equal it shall greet the sea.
Oh! small beginning, We are great and strong,
Based on a faithful heart, and wearilcss brain.
Ye build tho future fair, ye conquer wrong,
Ye earn the crown and wear it not in vain.

From the Boston Ice.
SERMON ON

Rev. Theodore Parker delivered a sermon at the
Boston Music Hall, which was filed to overlooking.
It's theme was, 'Byyambt Eraikiia, considered it
rotation IL tie great 0Et Of hJc' 1t was treated
with that ability and originality for which Mr..
Parker is distinguished. The preacher presented
Franklin in six phases, viz: rs tho Boy, running
about the streets Of Boston as the Printer, the
Philosopher, the Statesman, the Diplomat, and in
his old ago and death. Each of these divisions Of
the discourse were elaborated in IL most interest
ing manner, Mr., Parker then proceeded to con
slider Franklin in his intellect, his writings, his
character socially as u man. This constituted the
greater portion Of the sermon. In answer to the
charge that Franklin was not u religious man, the
speaker replied that, tried by the popular theology
and mere church form, it was true but in respect
to the elements shat so to make up Il religious
mind and y good heart, the charge was not true
Franklin he regarded as the greatest man in Amer
lea in four generations, and almost the greatest in
the world in that period. lie was not without
fault and Flemish, but was faithful and honest.
In his opinion, Franklin was a fast boy, and up
to the age Of 20, lived a life that in many respects
is to ho condemned: a clreer Of which he after
wards r%oYeuted. The speaker said that it was in
the power Of Franklin to have prevented slavery
in the United States, if he had only chosen and
maintained that position in the Convention which
framed the Constitution. Franklin later in life
signed "a petition for the abolition Of slavery. The
slavery of 1856, it was contended, was nothing so
atrocious as that in 1856. Referring to the recent
celebration in this city, the preacher said, that if
Franklin could have returned and looked upon
that long procession, while he would have
seen much to rejoice over, yet there would
have been something to make s%orrowful. In this

How TO GET FRUIT Trees TO YOUR LINING
In the fall, October or November, take n branch of
an apple or pear tree, such az suits your taste,
take off down to the third years growth, cut it
smooth and rub it on a red bot iron SO as to scorch
and shut the pores of the wood thoroughly; then
bury in the ground all but the last years growth.

We can get fruit considerably quicker this way
than from seeds, and we know what we have grow

and Whatever sprouts come from the roots in after
years can he transpianted without grating. In
case Of drought the first year, they should 90
