TIE FOURTH OF JrLY.-Georgc William
Curtis delivered Fourth of July Grafton
on Staten Island, and thus stated the case
ofthe day:
"This day is sacred to liberty. Other
days have their peculiar conservation
Thanksgiving is dear to the filial senti-
ment, both human and divine. Christmas
is precious to our religious faith, New
Years Day to social enjoyment, but the
very words, Fourth Of July, ring out like
a jubilant song, and the burden Of the
song is liberty"
We extract from his grafton the follow
ing beautiful passage:
"When the robin and blue bird sing in
early spring, there may be no leaves upon
the trees, but all the summer is in their
song, and we are as sure OF flowers and
fruit as if we held them in our own hands;
and so what people holds in its heart IS
as sure as If it had already grasped it in
its policy. Hope is our birthright. Faith
is our duty. The man who despairs of
this country, dcspairs of human nature.
"But to-day we give to memoryA To-
day the bugles Of party sound truce, and
we will tell the truth as brothers, not as
partisans. However VIC may differ, we
speak here and now with unanimous rev.
erence Of the men and the principles which
have made this day conspicuous in histo-
ry. In the old Egyptian fable, it is rcla-
ted that Queen Berenice fulfilled VOW by
laying her lustrous hair upon the altar
of goddess, whence Jupiter snatched it,
and set it, flaming constellation, in the
heavens. Even SO our fathers laid their
glowing lives upon the altar of human
liberty, and God sets their memory shin
ing in mems hearts forever"

THEORY OF BRcK.-A boy hearing
his father say it was a poor rule that
wouldn't work both ways, said-"If fa-
ther applies this rule about his work,
will test it in my play"
So, setting up row Of bricks, he tip.
ped over the first, which, striking the
second, caused it to fall on the third,
overturned the fourth, and SO on, until all
the bricks lay PROSTATE.
"Well, said the little boy, "each brick
has knocked down his neighbor. only
tipped one. Now, will raise one and
see if he will raise his neighbors." lie
looked in vain to see them rise. "Hcre,
father" said the boy, "tis a poor rule
that will not work both ways. They
knock each other down, but will not raise
each other up"
"My son, bricks and mankind are alike
made of clay, and active in knocking
each other down, but not disposed to help
each other up"
"Father," said the boy, "does the first
brick represent the first Adam y"
The father replied: ~ When men fall,
they love company; but when they rise
they love to stand alone, like yonder brick,
and see others PROSTATE before them"

A PARKER, finding a dozen of idlers
stretched out on the ground, offered q
dollar to the LATEST one Of the whole lot.
Eleven jumped up claiming the reward,
each asserting himself to be the LATEST
one, The dollar, however, was given to
the twelfth, who had slothfulIy kept his
position, and who, when it was tenderd
to him, cried out-Can't you put it in my

Brass.

Brass.
The man who depends on the wealth of his pocket
Must risc and fall like the shining rocket,
But heart like gold and an iron will,
And face Of brass, are things 10 fulfil
The wisest purpose, the sagest plan
That ever entered the mind of man.
You may read in the eye that never quails
OF the dauRtless spirit that never fails
Little he knows Of - ups and downs,''
Little he knows Of Fortunes frowns,
Who, whatever he finds to do,
Has plenty Of brass to carry him through.
Many man Of wit and letters
Deems unwOrthicr men his bctters;
Loses the words he had meant to speak,
Acts pngraceful, and foolish and weak,
Lacking the metal that doth surpass
Every Other-the shining brass.
lie who carries the bOldcst face
Wins his way to the highest place,
While the wiser man, of the timid mcin,
May be lost In the crowd, unheard-unseen,
Aarvelng much at what comes to pass
Through the magic power OF the shining brass.
Others may tell Of the golden orc,
Praise and exalt IL all metals before,
But a. brazen metals surpass the tin,
So the man with the bra1en face shall win
The envied top Of the lofy hill,
IT. he keeps at work with an iron will.

1t was supported on either side with

1t was supported on either side with
pillars, while above them rose majesti-
cally to view, this grand design of its
great founder, for it was his own
'shandy work." exquisite in proportions,
each part SO adapting itself to the 9th
er. as to form perfect whole, without
collision. In looking upon it one would
but say that it was sscuriously and won
derfully made," equal to the sharp of a
thousand strings" and yet gorgeous as
it was and beautiful, for it presented
anything but ''rough exterior" its
threshold had never been crossed, to
view within most precious gem that
it contained. Oh happy, thrice happy
may that one be that is able to unloose
those pearly gates for the first time, and
ascend that stepping stone," and be
permitted to enter its portals, to be
conducted from one apartment to the
other, within this Temple, amid area
dias' bowers, for it contains richly .fstr-
nished gems, those that vie with each
other, instead of the diamond and cost
ly pearls, for they are capable Of the
highest polish, mentality is stamped
upon them and they are co-cxistant
withthe eternal, and forming parallel
with the tescence. As / am told. the
reason why this beautiful Temple had
meier been entered Qor it had stood
there above 80 years. was because its
founder had so constructed and OBJ
structed its entrance by a curiously
formed lock without key, that no one
had been able to devise or invent one
of the proper metal and device to open
its fair portals, and bask in its capacious
|lights,and shades, ,orrevelin its luxurious
halls, drinking at its pearly founts, only
to create never-dying thirst for more.
Oh the heighth and depth of the love
of such beauty no pen can describe, OIL
glowing fancy paint, it is reserved only
for that one who is found sufficiently
worthy and ingenius, to open its hith
-erto sedledslock.
You my fair reader may Imagine this
one of the "seven wonders" Or certain
| ly the eighth. But ah, no donot fancy
that, for here is the rock on which sc
many have wrecked their happiness, fol
this is none other than is found in ever,
day life, but we are so prone to look fol
joys beyond our reach, that we are no
cognizant of the thousand tiny flower
cts that so richly strew our very path
way. Hf6ff

Getting an Invitation.


1t was observed that a certain rich
man never invited any one to dine with
him.. ''I'll lay a wager" said a wag.
81 can get an invitation from him."
The wager being accepted, he goes
the next day to the rich mans house
about the time he was to dine, and tells
the servant that he must speak with his
master Immediately, for he could save
him thousand pounds.
"Sir," said the servant to his master
'shere is q man in great hurry, who
says he can save you Thousand
pounds" q r
Out came the master.
E" What is that sir?.- Can you save
me a thousand pounds ?" f- 1

and call again.
go, pray, sir, come in and take din
ner with me.'' bineg
The invitation was accepted. A.
soon as dinner was over, and the fam
lily had retired, the conversation wa.
resumed. W
"Well, sir" said the man of the
house, snow to yonr business. Pray
let me know how am to save thou

passion and kicked him out of doors.
