anniversary of the birthday Of the man who
never told lie. What season for reflection
|And happy comfort must this be TO the noble
patriot who now governs this good old Com
must tingle, his eyes dilate, and his heart bound
when he sees all the honors that are paid and
being paid to the great and glorious truth teler
Rlnd the happy thought courses through his brain
hat in after life the memory OF the great Truth
Heller the ii will be equally celebrated

TO the heart of every true-born American

ountry it's boastful freedom was fast fading
nto dim obscurity, but at length fresh feeling
4eems to have been awakened, and this year IL
Mas been celebrated with little more ceremony
IAN has marked its recurrence for years.
