points, and in the constant attrition Of II
small community, the iuharmouious an
giles are likely to collide.
Small communities too. like our village,
are usually conservative, not to say fogy-
ish, in their views, and follow, rather
than lead, in reforms. This is inevitably
80 with villagers who never 90 abroad,
whose lifelong existence is spent about

top not there long enough to exchange

ire apt to be ld.iashioned in their iik-

and hence are extremely disagreeable to
all persons Of more generous and liber

! downright persons, eager that some good
work should be done. or at least that the
work be estimated according to its proper
merits.
We will not stop to depict the inevita-
BILE small talk incident to a village life,
and perhaps necessary to life everywhere;
but while gossip may be pardonable to
some extent, there are times and seasons
when we don't want to hear of, or engage
in it but in a small placc,t is apt to be-
come exceedingly pestilent, perpetual
epidemic, and to sensitive persons abso-

here is this consolation, however, that
the evils we have noticed, may be par

Until your cnrsed red-coat soldiers

Ask pardon of the whole American people,
For you must know we will be free,

So not IA word haul down your flag,
Make ready to march from here,
In n moment Ill'raisc what you term rag,
But it's Liberty's flag to US, dear.
Forthwith from quarters large and wide,
Five hundred men in wars array
The English veterans looked down and cried,
Treason stole these arms away!
Then up spoke Allen to these braves,
No treason was there here,
For we had meant to see our graves,
Before your guns we felt no fear.
SO he hoisted our couutry's flag,
To the top of the Liberty pole
And he swore again it never should drag
The dust whilst he had life and soul.
They marched their prisoners from the fort,
And dismanted all the guns;
The men were sent to an English port,
In exchange for our patriot sons.
