And primly powdered queue!

From Philadelphia bells
Loud from stern old steeple

One of the most successful Fourth OF
July evening entertainments l ever
witnessed was given by young people
in an ordinary back yard, and con-
sisted of tableaux interspersed with
music and Rotations. A platform had
been erected at the end of a grape
arbor. The fence, prettily draped,
formed the background, and foot-lights
were arranged in front of the stage, as
was also a sliding curtain. On each
side an ordinary clothes-line covered
with shawls served as dressing-room
and the audience was seated down the
entire length of the arbor. Awnings
and tents could be utilized for these
purposes, however. Colored lights,
which are so effective in tableaux, were
here used, and being in open air did not
prove so disagreeable to those present
as is the case when employed indoors

The Briton came in fierce array.
And strove this land of ours to hold
Meath England's hard. relentless
sway.
But surely twas not thus to be;
A higher Power ruled over ALL
And out Of wars grim, wrinkled front
We merged, despite its gloomy pail.
AS gallant freemen fought for right,
And VISIONS all far-seeing eye
Beheld future for our land
For which the patriot dared to die.
Their precious blood was freely given.
Upon their country's altar shed;
And now we glory in the deeds
or our departed, honored dead
To Washington, the great and true,
And all his brave, victorious host
We homage pay with glad acclaim,
And in their memory make our boast.
Thus on this dayVof all the year
Columbia's brightest stars may shine
To tell of Independence won,
While low we bow at Freedoms
shrine.
And as the rolling years go by,
And added glory crowns our land,
Still brighter may their memory grow
Who first led Freedoms holy band.

The jedge sentenced ye to be hanged
the 10th of July, but he forgot to name
the year The 10th of July ten years
from now will do, or longer. He only
said the 10th of July!'
"But he meant today" said Jack,
trembling in every limb.
"But he didn't say it. You may suit
your own convenience about the year,
Jack. For your own sake, and for the
sake of the twins, skip"
There was much disappointment
that afternoon among the citizens of
Scratch Gravel when it was discover
ed that Jack was gone. A search was
made of his cabin, but there were no
signs of Sally, Jack, or the twins.
They were all gone for good.
And now comes the strangest part
of this story. The 10th of July FIVE
years later gray old man, bent nearly
double, thrust his shadowy form into
the presence of the chief magistrate
of Scratch Gravel, and demanded a
hearing.
II am Jack Langworthy," he said,
''and have come back according to
promise to be hanged. You see the
twins are dead-both dead, and Sally,
sEe's gone, too-run away with an
other man, and now I've come back to
meet the requirements of law. There
has been some delay, I'll admit, but
I was bound to come back some time,
and here I am"
The laws and customs of Scratch
Gravel had changed somewhat since
Jack departed from the place five
years before, and as the affair in which
he was interested was no longer
sensation of the day, he was simply
told to leave the town as soon as
possible. He went at once, and the
last seen of him alive he was tramp
ing slowly out of town with his face
towards the setting sun.
