A SWEET TENfPER.-No trait of char
acter is more valuable in a woman than
the possession of sweet temper. Home
can never be made happy without it.
1t is ike the flowers that spring up in
our pathway, reviving and cheering us.
Let man go home at night weary and
worn by the tolls of the day and how
soothing is a word dictated by good
disposition? 1t is sunshine falling on
his heart. He is happy, and the cares
of life are forgotten. A sweet temper
has soothing influence over the mind
of a whole family. Where It is found
in the wife and mother, you observe
kindness and love predominating over
the natural feeling of a bad heart.
Smiles, kind words, characterize the
children and peace and love have their
dwelling there. Study, then, to acquire
and retain a sweet temper. 1t is more
valuable than gold; it captivates more
than beauty and to the close of life it
retains all its freshness and power.

THE Doom OF THE WORLD.--What
this change is to be, we dare not even
conjecture; but we see in the heavens
themselves some traces of destructive
elemets, and some indication of their
power. The fragments of broken plan
cts, the descent of the meteoric stones
on the globe, the wheeling COM
cts, welding their loose materials in
our own satellite, disappearance ofnew
stars, and the disappearance of Others,
are, as the solar furnace, the volcan-
ic eruptions, all foreshadows of that
impending convulsion to which the sys-
tenn of the world is doomed. Thus
placed on planet which is burned up,
and under heavens which are to pass
away thus treading, as it were, on the
cemeteries, and dwelling upon the
mausoleums of former worlds, let US
learn the lesson of humility and wisdom
if we have not already been taught in
the school of revelation British

when this shall be consummated, the
wheat-ields of Shenandoah once more
will yield their golden harvests to the

I, fulfil the hopes of producer and con-
sumer. Then, and not till then, will
the sword be truly beaten into the
ploughshare, the spear into the prun-
ing-hook. Let us, then, turn our at
tention to the restoration of that por-
ton ofour country at present excluded
from participation in the government.
Let us forget all connected with our civ
il war, save the great central fact of a
preserved Union and the memory of
the heroes who fought and died in the
struggle. And here let US pay pass
Ing tribute to those who yielded up
their lives in the wager of battle.
Chow many glorious name for us,
How many a story of fame for us,
They left Would it not be shame for us,
If their memory part
From our land and heart.

No No! No! They were brave for us,
And bright were the lives they gave for us,
The land they struggled to save for us,
Cannot forget
It's warriors yet
Who sleep in many grave for us.''
But how shall we do justice to the
brave men who perished for the sake
Of their country? Whence shall we
borrow the glowing language that be-
fits their eulogy? Monuments may be
erected in their honor, and their ashes
gathered in gorgeous mausoleums, the
epic page may burn in description of
their deeds and the painters canvas
glow with the picture of the red con-
flict in which they fell, but all will fail
to cancel the overwhelming debt of
gratitude which the nation owes them.
We cannot estimate the value of the
sacrifice they made for us we can only
drop tear to their memory and wish
for them,
SIN Heaven home with the brave and blest,
A name in song and story,
And fame to shout with her brazen voice,
Died the Field of Glory"
But whilst we keep in remembrance
the fallen brave, let us hasten to re-
build the waste places of our country;
let us restore the Constitution as the SUI
preme law of the land; let us Danish
faction and check innovation and let
us strive to make our government con-
form in spirit, as we'll as in letter, to
that liberalism which knows no oppres-
sion for opinions sake and which
makes the title of american citizen SYM
onymous with that of freeman. With
our hands'upon our hearts, with our
eyes uplifted to heaven, let us, in hum
BILE imitation of those grand old patri-
OTIS who, this day ninety-one years ago,
announced the birth of new nation,
pledge sour lives, our fortunes and our
sacred HONOR" that, so help us God, we
will stand by the Union of the States
and the liberty ofthe citizen, against all
opposition, whether from armed usur-
patton, or peaceful revolution.

ADDRESS.


FELLOW CITIzENs:-We celebrate
this day as the anniversary of that In
dependence which was the foundation
of the American Republic. Werejoice
that our colonial ancestors possessed
the intelligence and virtue to resist ty-
ranny, and that the Supreme Ruler of
the Universe crowned with success their
struggle for Liberty. Nor is our re-
joicing but empty show,- the noise and
riot of senseless revelry, the sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals of an un-
reasoning alteration of human great
ness; it is the simple but earnest ex-
preston of our homage to Liberty and
our veneration for the memory ofthose
who established it throughout our land.
The occasion, too, reminds us that we
are to initiate the virtues of the men to
whom the lustre of this day owes all
its brightness and glory; that we are
not merely to rejoice over what has
been and is, but to look forward with
unclouded, truth h-searching eyes toward
that which is to be; and, above all
| that we are to see to it that the fabric
of government erected by the founders
of the Republic be preserved intact to
posterity. Thus solemnly reminded OF
our duty we look back to that period,
"grand, gloomy and peculiar, in which
the old bell of the Philadelphia State
House, proclaimed Liberty to the tax
ridden and misgoverned people of the
colonies. The story of the Revolution
is familiar to all. The burden of Brit
ish oppression had become too heavy
to be borne and the colonists took up
arms to resist the execution of the
Odious enactments of. arliament. This
war of resistance to the British Tax
laws, was waged about fifteen months,
when the Colonial Congress, assembled
at Philadelphia, adopted and promul-
gated the Declaration of Independence,
and thenceforward it became war for
the establishment of a separate govern
ment.
The difficulties which surrounded the
Revolutionists, the suferings endured
by the little band of patriots which dur
ing seven years of rapine and carnage
grappled with the power of Britain,
solemnly teach us that our freedom
was dearly bought and that we should
consider it as boon of priceless worth.
And, indeed, how can we revert to
the story of Lexington and Bunker
Hill, or look, in fancy, upon the flames
of burning CharlestOwn, how can we
think of Valley Forge and Kings
Mountain, or remember Marion and
smen, without feeling that we should
surrender all, even life itself, rather
than suffer the destruction of the insti,
tutions bequeathed to us by the patriot
fathers? How can we study the history
of the early times of our Republic and
learn that it was born amid the shock
