AN AMAZON'S RECEPTION.
AN INCIDENT OF 1779.

"Tyron is coming! Tyron is COM
ing (" was the cry that blanched many
q cheek IN Connecticut in the month
ofJuly, 1873.
This news that spread like wildfire
about the towns of Fairfield and Nor
walk was we'll calculated to excite
alarm in patriotic breasts, for Tyron
was a merciless invader, and wherever
he went the torch completed his work
of destruction. In the month Of Feb
ruary of the year just written he had
ravaged Kingsbridge and Horse Neck,
and now for the second time, he en-
tered the State.
His soldiers committed, under his
very eye, atrocities of the most shock
ing description they plundered with
out distinction old and young, rich
and poor, felt alike the merciless
hands of the kings man. East Hav'
ell, Fairfield, and Nolwalk were re,
duced to ashes, ard thousand acts
cfbarbarous cruelty were perpetrated
on the homeless patriots. A force
sufficient TO check the advance Of the
Invader could not be raised in ths
State. Connecticut's able bodied pat
riots were absent in the army, ano
their homes were as defenceless as the
lions whelps when the parents are
away in search offood.
Governor 1yron knew that he
would find Connecticut completely al
his mercy, and congratulated himself
on the easy conquest that invited him
to her shores. He succeeded in his
errand of devastation, and returned
to his superiors with victory in hi
hand. But he made his name odlous
throughout North America, and his
memory execrable to every patriot ii
the land.
Not far from Norwalk stood the
plain home Of Barbara Bidlack, whose
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1876-05-17

The surging sea of human life forever
onward rolls,
And bears to the eternal shore its daily
freight Of souls,
Though brsvely sails our bark to-day
pale death sits at the PROV,
And few shall know we ever liyed n
hundred years from now.
O mighty human brotherhood! why
fercely war and strive,
While Gods great world has ample space
for everything alive ?
Broad fields, uncultured and unclaimed,
are waiting for the plow
Ofprogress that shall make item bloom q
hundred years from now.
Why should we try so earnestly In llfe's
short, narrow span,
On golden stairs to climb SO high above
our brother man?
Why blindly at an earthly shrine in slavisll
homage bow :?
Our gold will rust, ourselves be dust, q
hundred years from now!
Why prize so much the worlds applause
Why dread so much its blame?
A feeting echo is it's voice OF censure OF
Of fame;
The praise that thrills the heart, the scorn
that dyes with shame the brow,
Will be es ng-forgotten dreams hund'
red years from now
O patient hearts, that meekly bear youl
weary load Of wrong!
o earnest hearts, that bravely dare, and
striving, grow more strong !
Press on till perfect peace is won; you'll
never dream Of how
You struggled DER life's thorny road
hundred years from now.
Grand, lofty souls, who live and toll that
freedom, right, and truth
Alone may rule the universe, for you Il
endless youth;
When mid the blest. with God you rest
the grateful lands shall bow
Above your clay in rev'rent love hund
red years from now.
Earth's empires rise and fall, o Time lik
breakers on thy shore;
They rush upon thy rocks OF doom, g
down, and are no more;
The starry wilderness Of worlds that gen
nights radiant brow
VIII light the skies for other eyes hund
red years from now.
Our Father, to whose sleepless eyes tn
past and future stand
An open page, like babes we cling to En-
protecting hand;
Change, sorrow, death, are nausht to
if we may safely bow
Beneath the shadow of Thy throne
hundred years from now.

Upland and lowland ami woodland and

Prairies so shOreiess with biiIowy breast
Throbbing or floating or lying at rest,
Streams from the canyon and streams from
the crest,
Forests as cool as a face in pool,
And life underneath them forever.
Over the heart OF the beautiful earth,
Magical tangles and meadows and sedges,
Wells full of water are gushing below,
now can we know how the springs overflow,
Only that somehow they come and they go,
Down where the Meadow King stands in a
row,
And the willows are weaving their hedges.
Over our evenings, the arches of God
Cluster their lamps in unspeakable SPLEEN
dor,
Breezes come up from the far southern sea,
Music of shell mingles music of tree;
We look and We listen, and whisper ''for me.''
Above it is answered, ''For thee, for thee,''
And the GiVer will be defender.
Wide is the world that is waiting for you,
o man of the East, in this valley so vernal !;
From the far away North its great river has
run
1t flows to the Ocean before it is done;
The east portal swings where the morning
begun.
And the gate of the West bids adieu to the

And cools in snow cappings eternal.

vice 1'sesIdenr wheeler


This gentleman made a neat little
campaign speech On the Goth, ult. al
West Point, N. Y. We clip the
telegraphic report.
Last evening the Republican can
didate for the vice-presidency, VIM.
A. Wheeler, who is at present q
member of the board of visitors to
West Point, was serenaded by the
Republicans at this place and Cold
Springs, and spoke as follows: ]
thank you, gentlemen, for your con-
CALCULATIONS for an honor which
probably is as unexpected to you as
it is to myself, and which has GER
tainly not been sought for by me.
l was not Oblivious of the fact that
my name had been mentioned by
warm friends who desired my sue
cess, but l neither looked nor hoped
for such an overwhelming evidence
of the conventions favor. But /
have been a soldier in the Republi-
can ranks too long, and have enjoy
ed its confidence too much, not to
be aware of the high RESPONSE bility
which accompanies that confidence.
To be nominated in times like these
by the great party which, despite
its occasional short comings, repre-
sents In its fullest extent the intelli-
gence, the patriotism and conscience
of the country, is indeed an honor.
The so-calIed tidal wave of 1874,
which swept the Dem ocratic party
into power in the lower house of
Congress, has resulted in demon
strating to the American people the
utter unfitness of that party, for ev.
cry one of the duties required of it.
For the past seven months the DEM
ocratic majority in the house of
Representatives has been on trial be-
fore the nation, and the nation is
ready to render q verdict. The
Democratic party has been false to
its promises, false to its duties, and
false to the opportunity for reform
which were presented to it. 1t is to
the Republican party that we are
to-day indebted for the privilege of
celebrating the one hundreth ami
versary of our independence, and it
is to the same noble party that we
intend to consign the government
in the future. Do not doubt, gen.
tlemen, that in the coming canvass
we shall achieve splendid triumph.
With that honored soldier and pat
riotic citizen, Gov. Hayes, at our
head. and the entire Republican
party of all shades and opinions
supporting him, we have to but do
our duty as honest voters and good
citizens and victory is ours. Again,
gentlemen, I thank you. for this
manifestation of your approval of
the conventions work.
