Twas June on the face of the earth,
June with the roses breath.
When life is the visible thing, and n
distant dream is death;
There was gossip of birds in the air,
and the lowing Of herds by the wood.
And sunset CLEAN In the sky that
the heart of n man holds good;
Then the nun-lfke Twilight came, vio-
let vestured and still,
And the nights first star outshone
afar on the eve of Bunker Hill.
There rang n cry through the camp,
with its word upon kindling word;
There was never faltering foot in
the ranks of those that heard
Lads from Tie Hampshire hills and
the rich Connecticut wales.
Some of the old Bay Colony, from its
shores and its inland dales;
Swiftly they fell in line, for they
knew not fear nor It's chill;
All. brave the show as they ranged
arrow on the eve of Bunker Hill!
Then a deep voice lifted n prayer to
the God of the brave and the true,
And the heads of the men were bare
In the gathering dusk and dew;
The heads of thousand men were
bowed as the pleading rose,-
-Smite Thou, Lord, as of old Thou
smote Thy peoples foes!
o nerve Thy servants arms TO work
with mighty willw
A hush, and then loud .amenv on
the eve of Bunker Hill,
Now they are gone through the night
with never thought of fame,
Gone to the field of fight that shall
win them deathless name;

OF Paul Revere'S ride but this was
greater ride than that Paul Revere's
ride ON that long ago April night
was to save the military supplies at
Concord and Lexington to the patri-
otic cause; but this other ride was to
save the Declaration of Independence.
1t happened on that famous Fourth
of July, 1776, the day In which the
American colonies We're declared free
and Independent States If Caesar
Rodney had not made his historic ride,
there might not have been any free
America to-day.
The Provincial Congress was in
session at Philadelphia, each of the
thirteen colonies having representa-
tives there. 1t was great Congress,
and momentous question was before
the distinguished body. The great
charter of our freedom had been writ

gress on Monday, July /. What
would the Continental Congress do?
In order that our country should
be free and independent the Declar-
alton must be adopted. This could
be done IL only the colonies stood
united for freedom, but not If the
colonies We're divided. And there
were some good men who did not
believe 1t best TO take this step at
this time. Four of the seven dele
gates of Pennsylvania were opposed
to It; and, of the two Delaware dele
gates present, Thomas Mexican was

Two Of the opposing Pennsylvania

State" would favor the Declaration;
but the vote of Caesar Rodney was
necessary to carry the State OF Della
ware. A messenger was despatched
in hot haste TO summon him to Phila-
delphia; and then for hours the pat
riots of '76" talked and manoeuvred
to delay the final vote. On Thursday,
July 4, Congress was to vote on the
momentous question.

He was yet many miles from Phila-

his country great and independent?
His horse was jaded. and he was trav-
el-worn aud covered with dust; but
the patriot did not slacken rein. He
must be there to vote for the inde-
pendence of America. And he was
there!
All that hot. sweltering July day the
delegates Of the Colonial Congress
were talking and voting in Independ-
ence Hall. The session had begun.
The president, John Hancock, was in
the chair; and the clerk, John Dfckin-
son, was calling the colonies one by
one. Virginia had voted, and Massa-
chusetts, and the great State of New
York and the little State of Rhode
Island; and now New Jersey was vot-
ing, and Caesar Rodney had not come.

rider leaped to the ground. Booted

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Reported Damage 10 the Northwest Wheat
Crop Has Bu'ged PrIces-Reduc!ion
in Steel Figures.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
OF Trade" says: The damage to the
wheat crop OF the northwest is the event
OF chief importance. How extensive
the loss may prove, in view OF widely
conflicting accounts, can only be judged
from the speculative markets, in which
information gathered at the West has
caused a remarkable advance, at Chi
cago I5c in 10 days, and the price here
has advanced II cents per bushel,
though for the September option only
9 cents. The belief is that so large a
part of the spring wheat has been killed
as to reduce yield expected to be close
TO the largest on record to considerably
less than the world has required during
the crop year now ending. In iron
and steel the structural producers a week
ago reduced the prices OF beams to 100
and angles to I.So at Pitt,burg, leaving
only rails and tin plates which have notI
been reduced from the highest point(
The rail works are crowded far ahead
and the question in tin plates depends
largely upon wages. Eastern bar is re-
duced TO I.s5 cents. and steel bars to
