arc not Of those who would dcnudc the

"No,> kland," and the Sunny Isle OF

grown to manhood upon these foreign
shores. Men may pack their goods.
gather up their household gods, and
transfer them t" Il foreign land and 50
with them, but the heart still clings to
the old birthplace, the love Of homc is
AS lasting as life. TO such We cannot
l"ok for the largest degree Of "pprccia-
ton Of what VIC admire in American
institutions. We believe that every
class Of foreigners coming to Americas
should cherish the memory Of every.
thing which had Il tendency 20 elevate
them and advance them in the way of
the true life. We would have them
perpetuato their language in our midst
until it becomes dialect us familiar to
Americans as the Anglo Saxon. We
re willing that they should celebrate
each return Of their old-time holidays.
We arc glad to have them 90 it, be-
cause VIC believe that these annually
recurring occasions make them better.
We do not claim that they are an un-
mixed good, for We cannot shut our
eyes to the excuses which usually ut
tend them, but what We mean is that
they ars productive Of more good i"
The aggregate than would be achieved
were they to celebrate none but The
events Of American history. Ameri'
cau;sm is not thing in the q bstract, il
IS growth. Another century will
witness sublime TRANSPORTATION of thu
material Of the American Republic
The principles upon which this govern
mcnt is established and the thcorie!
that are being woven into its texture
are crystalizing into other forms, ant
giving rise to new conditions, which il
turn demand higher effort and true
living, and these are begotten Of natur
alness aud individuality. We hop
therefore,, and expect to sec cacl
fragment Of this great country, Will
retaining its identity, constantly round
ing off sou,e Of the asperities which a
present give rise to the friction that tn
wheels Of government necessarily gen
crate. For the accomplishment Ut thi
end We must look to coming genera
tons. Tho youth arc to-day, NOR
than ever before, ''tEe hope Of tn
country" and any enterprise which vii
add to their facilities, and at tho sam
time corrcs,ond;nsly increase their re
spohsibilities, We hail as benefit t

very many are so prcjudiced that the
