Welcome, thrice welcome. Is the year
about making its entry upon rs. To.
morrow's sun will pour down Its radi-
ancc upon many a starry banner hung
to the breeze by country'loving men,
Who will welcome with glad hearts the
hundredtL birthday OF u country. ons
hundred years ago cannon we're heard
pealing forth FROM many sections OF the
country, but the sound Of them did not
a cheer, for they ser, forth mes
ssnesrs Of death and filed hearts With
gloom. How different will the sound OF
cannon BE- received on tomorrow; with
what Joy aud gratitude will nsighoor
shake The hand Of neighbor. ~ he ex.

When We look back TO one hundred
wears ago and consider the progress
made since that gun was fred (which
was heard around the world" how
thankful We should be to Almighty God
for giving us such n country. and how
jeulously We should guard 1t from the
enemies Of FREQ and constitutional
liberty. We have. without a doubt,
one Of the finest countries upon
the face of the earth. and II We cannot
say like England. that the sun never
setu upon our dominions. We can say
that We have within the limits Of our
own country q variety OF climates, sur
passing any other on the face OF the
Garth. I trust, Mr.. Editor. that your

Let us celebrate then in a spirit OF true

might cast a slight upon our neiahbors:
Let us remember the men who attached
their names to that glorious document
