leffersOn,S birthday.

The citizens of Boston are considering the
propriety of celebrating the birthday Of
Thomas Jefferson, which occurred on April
2. ls43, O.. s., or April 10, N. S. The sug-
gestion is good one, for the iIlustrious au-
thor of the Declaration is Justly entitled to
grateful remembrance of the American .peo.
pie. The Bostonian custom OF seizing upon
many of these important anniversaries and
celebrating them in manner which FREE
quenty commands the admiration of the
whole country, by the rich display Of gen.
ius evoked, is worthy of imitation in other
localities The Boston Post says:
"This anniversary was first celebrated in
1890, and with great eclat, in Washington,
when Jef1erson's friend and correspondent,
the venerable John Roane, ofIiciated as pre-
sident, who was toasted as the only surviving
eector of the first President; and Felix
Grundy, c. c. Crambreing, and Levi Wood.
bury we're of the vice presidents. Col. Ben
ton took great interest in this celebration !;
and besides making speech, obtained a
toast from John Randolph. In letter COM
municating the toast to the press, he express.
ed his satisfaction at being the means of
connecting the "name of the matadore of
the old Republican party with the history of
the first celebration of Mr.. Jefferson's birth.
day." The toas, was "The principle which
Mr. Jefferson brought into power-the touch
stone of the old Republican party" # will
be recollecled that Mr.. Randolph went into
opposition under Mr. Jefferson's Admin.
istralion."
'At the close Of Col. Benion's speech on
this brilliant festival, he predicted that it
was the first in a series of celebrations
which the friends and admirers of jefferson
would cherish and perpetuate for the double
object of showing honor TO him aud preserv-
ing his principles for themselves and his
toast was :: "The Birth Day of Thomas JEFF
ferson-May its anniversary celebration ex-
tend through all time, and spread through
all the borders of the Republic"

One by one they reach the drive, some
a few rods from the barrels, but most at a
ludicrous distance. One man finds himself
still at the. base of the slope, as far from the
goal as when he was bandaged. Another has
travelled three times the distance, and brought
up at the extreme end of the drive. Anoth-
er has passed over the gravel without know
ing it, and finds himself in the field beyond.
But there was one who had decided ad-
vantage, being partially blind, and accus'
toned to trust his instincts in this manner.
The bandage was small inconvenience to
him, and as soon as the word was q iven he
marched directly for the barrel, and deposit,
ed his wheelbarrow within a single pace OF
it, while the others were engaged in their
serpentine travels.

QUAKER SARoAsM.-The Society Of
Friend as is we'll known, are among the most
upright and worthy Of the Christian Sects.
Their mode of public worship is very plain
and simple. Divested Of all forms and cere-
monies, they profess to serve God in spirit
and in truth; sometimes in silence, at other
times by exhortation Or preaching BY some
one who feels impelled to address them.
Thomas Coles, more familiarly known,
from his great amiability and good nature,
as Tommy Coles, was a consistent member
Of this society. At the delightful village of
Glen Cove, Long Island, where he resided, !,
the Episcopal congregation had just erected
in their church very sweet toned organ,
which was the admiration, not only of the
members, but of many others who were at
tracted to the service by the eloquence of
the Rev. Mr.. Mallaby, the rector. On some
particular occasion, our venerable friend,
Tommy Coles, took seat among the congre-
CATION, and his opinion of the organ was
gathered from the following conversation, a
few days afterwards.
Maliaby, I am pleased that thee
has got such fine organ in thy church"
But said the clergyman, 4 thought you
were opposed to having organs in church ,
so Tam,' replied Tommy; but then, if
thee worship the Lord by machinery, I would
like thee to have a first rate instrument.

And slowly then the aged man replied;
While in his face and in his mien appear
Deep traces Of life that, in the mad
And agonizing strife of passion spent,
Was drawing calmly to its better close.
he sighed and in the retrospect again
There cleaned soul-Ight like hope revived.
Perchance 'toas hope.
The aged man replied
There is an hour-but one-in all my past
I'd live again. IT'S not of childhood's best
Not one made brighter by mothers smile
Made better, purer, by mothers kiss;
Or hallowed by her prayer no hour redeemed
From earthiness by princely love like hers;
'Tis not the hour when young Ambition just
Had perfected her dream, and flushed my cheek
With boyish pride, to hear 80 fond tale
For 1t was passing fond, that fiction rare
IT'S not when earnest Friendship first had clasped
Me to his manly breast. 'Tis not the hour
When Love, with roseste blush and clinging lips,
First kissed her burning seal upon my soul,
Tmpassioned trusting, wild with bliss, and-thine.
'Tis none of these These memory may keep,
To bless some night Of soul my aged heart
Ev'n yet may know and she may bring again
These sacred hours, to call me back to hope,
Remind me Of God, perchance to save.
The hour I'd live-ifI might live-again,
Is that when, battling with giant doom,
There rose that aintest doubt of thee, and crushed
My very being downtown to the dust
And marred all after life. I felt the hand
OF Fate press coldly on my spirit then;
But could Tguess the ALL that hung upon
One doubt? When seen, it was-O God!-for I'VE
Too late! Could relieve that hour, I'd dare
Deny my God his power-his life-his all
Ere /, communing with my soul, would dare Z
Admit doubt-the faintest whisper OF
A doubt-when thou hadst sealed, as thou had't
sealed -
That widest hope Of life.
I'd live that hour
Again, to crush that nascent blight, to-TRusT.
