Shays' Insurrection.


In the year 1886, an insurrection
took place in Massachusetts,. "a heavy
debt lying on the State, and almost all
the corporations within il; relaxation
of'manners; free use of foreign luxu-
ries; decay of trade, with scarcity Of
money; and above all, tho debts from
individuals to each other; were the pri.
mary causes of this sedition. Heavy
taxes necessarily imposed at this time,
were the Immediate excitement to dis
content aud insurgency"
The leader of the malcontents in
Massachusetts, was Daniel Shays. At
the head Of three hundred men, he
marched to Springfield, where the Su-
preme Judicial Court was in session,
and took possession of the Court House.
He then appointed committee; who
waited on the Court, With an order
eouched in the humble form Of a peti.
ton, requesting them not to proceed to
business; and both parties retired. The
number Of insurgents increased; the
posture of affairs became alarming and
an army of400 men was at length or
dcred out for their dispersion. This
force was placed under the command of
Gen, Lincoln. His first measure was
to march to Worcester; and he afforded
such protection to the Court at that
place, that it resumed and exc
cuted the judicial functions. Orders
were given to Gen. Shepard to col
lcct sufficient force to secure the arse.
nal at Springfield. Accordingly, he
raised about 900 men, who were rein.
forced by 800 militia from the county
of Hampshire. At the head of thi.
force, he marched as directed, to Spring.
field.
On the 25th Of January, Shays op
preached at the head of LOO men,
Shepard sent out one Of his aids to know
the intention of the insurgents, and tc
warn them of their danger. Their IN
Swer was, that they would Lave the bar
racks; and they proceeded to within {
few hundred yards ofthe arsenal. They
were then Informed that the militia
were posted there by order of the Gov
ernor, and that they would be fred up
on if they approached nearer. They
continued to advance, when Gen. Shep
ard ordered his men to fire, but to di
rect their fire over their heads. Ever
this did not intimidato them, or retard
their movements. The artillery wa.
then l4veled against the centre column
and the whole body thrown into confu
sion. Shays attempted in vain to rail-,
them. They made prccipitatc retrca
to Ludlow, about ten miles from Spring
field Three men were killed aud ont
wounded. They soon after retreatoC
to Petersham; but Gen. Lincoln pursu
ing their retreat, they finally dispersed
Some of the fugitives retired to thei
homes; but many, and among them thei
principal officers, took refuge in til

Whose aim was to sever Columbias fair land;
They said they would split this great Union in two,
And alter tho colors Of the "Rod White and Blue"
But two years Of boOsting IS done nothing at all,
And cost them tho life Of their gallant 'Stonewall,"
While the old Union banner floats proudly in view,
To cheer the defenders Of the Red, White and Blue"
Oar Banner is simple, and by It we'll stand;
It shall float from Potomac to the great Rio Grande;
It waves DER people that's gallant and true,
And they'll all die defending the cred, White and

Foolish Thoughts.

We are apt to believe in Providence SO
long as we have our own way; but if
things 60 awry, then we think, if there
is a God, he is in heaven, and not on
earth. The cricket in the spring builds
his little house in the meadow and chrps
for joy, for all is going we'll with him.
But when he hears the sound Of the
plow few burrows off and the thunder
of the oxen's tread, the skies begin to
look dark and his heart fails him. The
pillow comes crushing along and turns
his dwelling bottom side up, and as he is
rolling over and over without a home
his heart says: "Oh the foundations of
the world are destroyed and everything
is going to ruin!" But the husbandman
who walks behind his plOw singing and
whistling as be goes, does not think
the foundations of the world are break
ing up. Why, he does not SO much as
know there was any house or cricket
there. He thinks of the harvest that is
to follow the track of the plow, and the
cricket too, if he will but wait, will ind
o thousand blades of grass where there
was but one before. We are like crick
cts. Ifany thing happens to overthrow
our plans and calculations, we think all
has gone to ruin.
