-s AVE, banners, in the morning light
HlH OF Freedoms natal day.
Proclaim once more how fed the night
or despots power away
And swell We forth in chorus strong.
Proud anthems Of the free
Ger hill and dale your notes prolong,
From East TO western sea!
oh. joy-bells, let your gladstone chino
From town to city ring,
Again as in rye Olden time"
The happy tidings bring!
One hundred and fourteen years have past
Since to a wondering age
Did history unfold at last
Her brightest blazon'd page,
Where she had writ with jewePd pen,
In letters OF pure gold,
The annals Of the brayest men
OF which e'er records told.
These went not forth unto the fray
For gold or empty fame;
For right alone they cleared the way,
In Freedoms hallow'd name.
And for the right, thank God, they woni
Their chidren's children dwell
Meath Freedoms light that falls upon
The land they loved so well
And 10 the thirteen stars that shone
In the field of azure true
Have evermore in numbers grown
Till We count now forty-twoI
Each star. with radiant. lustrous light.
Doth crown the diadem
OF Liberty, and shines the bright
rare and priceless gem.
Yea, in the years that have since sped
We count up all the gain,
And proudly say our honord dead
Gave not their lives in vain.
For Progress points throughout the land
To all that Toll has done:
To all the harvests that the hand
OF Industry has won;
To the Teaping and the cleaning
In the various fields Of life;
To the skies clouds screening
With the shadows dark of strife;
To the fair future that doth hold
high hopes it shall fulfill.
Whose bud OF promise will unfold
greater blessing stiIl.
Then, swell We forth in chorus strong,
Proud anthems of the free
Der hill and dale your notes prolong
From East TO western sea!
Wave, dear old flag, then, IN the light
OF Freedoms natal day!
Proclaim once more how fed the night
or despot's power away!
Ring forth. 1oy-beils, your gladstone chimei
With grateful hearts we pay
All honor to "ye olden Time"
And thanks for the to-day!

He VIII Celebrate the Fourth In New
Suit of Clothes.
Many boys are enjoying this happy holt
day, but it is probable that there are few of
them so completely filed with joy as little
Andy Anderson, commonly called "the
cherub" by his companions in Murdock's
printing Office. Andy is an orphan, and up
to yesterday generally pretty ragged one.
His small wages barely paid his living eX-
penses and he had little or nothing left for
clothing. lie Is go0d-natured little chap
and favorie among the workmen, who
conceived the idea OF chipping in" and
surprising him with Fourth of July bene-
fit. Twenty dollars was quickly raised,
and yesterday noon a committee of boys
took the ragged urchn to a clothing-stOre
and refitted him from the top of his curly
head to the sole of his substantial feet. He
had every stitch Misunderstanding, hand
kerchief, stockings and all-and, with his
hair cut and boots blacked, lie looked like
another being altogether.
To complete his happiness 81 30 was lett
for his new pockets, to celebrate the FoRFth
or use as he elected, His face glowed With
delight as he said, Now Pm rich," and
his happiness spread all over the office aud
everybody beamed in sympathy.

How the Mortgage Takes the Farm.

How the Mortgage Takes the Farm.
know a man who bought a farm in
Des Moines county, Iowa, in 1868 for
$4,000. He had $7.70O cash and borrowed
$1,000 at eight per cent. He. thought he
had bargain of at least $500 in the farm.
He moved on to it, and he aud his family
worked almost day and night trying to
secure a home. The farm was out of re-
pair, but they managed for the first few
years to pay the interest, which together
with taxes and insurance amounted to
about $15O-which by the way was Il
pretty fair rent for the farm.
By the time the farm was put in repair
the hard times of 1878 came, and as re-
suit the interest was not all paid for year
or two. This crippled him some. but
being full of hope and energy, by hard
work and the strictest kind of economy the
back interest was paid.
But just when he got his interest all
having nice lot of hogs with which he
expected to reduce that $500 indebted
ness to 81 200, hog cholera killed his hogs;
and again things began to look blue. This
was followed by the hard times of 1879,
and as result interest again fell behind
But with hope and energy he worked on.
J
each year it took more bushels of grain
more labor-to pay his interest And as
the farm had materially deprecated in
value, the friend from whom the money
was borrowed began to think it was about
/ time to get it, or he might be compelled to
take the farm for his pay SO in 1888 an
other loan was secured by paying good
round commission to loan agent for
securing the same, and the mortgage was
paid off.
Now as to the facts in this case, this poor
farmer thought he owned at least half the
farm he lived on, yet he paid on the mort
lgage abont as much rent as the farm was
worth. Having run just twenty years he
had paid the mortgage $2,4OO, besides
some compound interest, taxes aud insur
ance which altogether amounted to al
!; least $4,000; AMI still he owed the origlna
$500.
Since then farms and farm product
have been going down, SO that it has beer
impossible to keep up anything more thai
| repairs, taxes and interest. And toda,
that man owes that mortgage, and unles
! times change very soon, the mortgage vii
: take the farm, and this poor farmer an
0 his good wife will be turned out, and il
d their old age be left homeless, notwith
: standing his honest efforts to save hi
!. home.
# Why this unequal distribution of profit
d Why should capital have all the rent whe
) only owning half the farm?
We know another farmer who in 1877
