to come the spirit of 1776 will move, in !
seperably connected with the father of our
country. Next to the Holy Bible and its
the memory of this illusrious
parsonage and public benefactor will be
indelibly engraven into every American
heart. The utterance of his name in the
future, as to-day, will be synonymous of
goodness.
As year after year rolled away, so this
faithful aspirant, young America) aug
mented in power, gradually accumulating
in all the diversified means incidental to
Il free country, stretched forth its arms
and embraced almost a boundless extent
of territory. While one hand dashed back
the waters of the genial Pacific, the other
is laving in the undulations of the relent-
less ST. Lawrence.
A century old, but still in its prime. We
in our feeble manner can attempt to
conceive of the magnitude of this giant,
when the same period shall revolve
around again, and those who shall live to
see will no doubt have the proud satishc-
ton of beholding the triumphs and incal
cu|able acquisi ions still added to the brow
whereon sits to-day the most permanent
crown that can adorn any monarch that
reigns.
Our new mayor has sent forth his jug

remain intact until such time as the au-
thorties shall decide upon the cases. The

other officers, | presume, presenting to
the public all the formality that bodies
generally do. Each member is voted in,
and comes in possession of IL key, which
is passport to the mysterious realm
where they can imbbe to their satisfaction
provided they buy tickets. They laugh
in evading the law by this sublerfuge; but
when the demon rum fastens its fangs
upon their constitutions and they feel
their life fast ebbing away, with tot
tering limbs and emacated form they will
move around among their fellow men void
of all smiles, because the shadow of death
has cast its gloom on their pathway, and
they know they are fast approaching the
yawning gulf OF destruction, which gives
them no better epitaph than the ignomin'
ious name of drunkard. W. II. f.
