FOURTH OF July GRAFTON,



FELLER CITIZEEsi This is the day upon
which the American heart swells to about
twice Its natural proportions, and beats with
twenty-seyen times its usual rapidity; when
mans clothes are too small to hold him, and
he wants no drapery but the Stars and
Stripes, when be would like to be able TO
fOndie with one hand the evergreen curls OF
Maine, and to toss with the other the golden
sands of California, while he drank the health
of the Goddess of Liberty out of Lake Erie,
and laved his feet in the cooling waters of the
GULL
FEILEK-R-R CITIzENsI Upon this glorious
day we recall the memories of that band OF
patriotic and devoted heroes, whose struggles
through seven years of bloody and relentless
war gave us American Independence. What,
L ask, what sustained them through those
heightened years OF darkness and of blood?
What enabled them to endure hunger and
cold, to make the most srduOus and stupeD-
dous marches, and to perform prOdiges OF
valor upon the field with which the world
rang, covering their names with glory through
all coming time? / answer,

| The stirring scenes of that mighty Fev0lu-
tion are painted in vivid colors before my eyes
| to-day. The Tea Party in the haIbor of Bos-
ton. Was 1t the Insignificant duty which
England sought to impose upon tea that
/ moved those BOstOnians 80 violently that they
| poured an entire ships cargo into Boston haT-
| Dor? ''Not by no MEANS" They knew a bet
ter and more healthful beverage. They said
green tea was good, but Robdck's 10ds better!
Then, too, the battle of BunkeT's Hill,
fought regardless of the remonstrances of old
Mr.. and Mrs. Bunker, who owned the hill.
| What was it that enabled that little band OF
raw and hastily collected recruits to repulse q
| greatly superior force of British regulars
veterans from the battle fields of Europe thus
winning impeTishable renown for the flag OF
the infant Republic?
The answer comes sweeping along upon the
Eastern gale, and from the very summit oil
