HISTORIC PERTH AMBoY.

This city was honored, yesterday,
with a visit from a delegation of
Daughters of the American Revolu-

from Bound Brook and Somerville
to see our historical landmarks and
tread the ground where their fore
fathers trod many years ago when
this was the capital of East Jersey
and King George was the acknowl-
sovereign.

The Silent Shave.

A taciturn man went into a BARRIERS
shop the other day and began by pull
ing out of his pocket a paper on which
was written:
"No; l do not wish to have my hair
cut. l want to be shaved. l do not
require any brilliantine or crimpo-
line, or anything else ending in inc.
Nor do l wish to be singed or sham
pooed. All l want is to be shaved
in perfect silence"
The barber read the document, and
then pointed to a notice on the wall,
which ran:
THE proprietor begs to apologize to
bis customers for not entering into
conversation with them, as he is deaf
and dumb."-Tit-Bits.

Editorial Page of the News.

Thanks to our progressive spirit,
everything was not found as it was
in the revolutionary days, but
enough remains to make Perth Am
boy Of exceptional interest to adj his
torically inclined. The fact is,
Perth Amboy does not begin to APP
preciate it's own Importance in the
early history of our country. 1t is
safe to say these visitors who called
upon us yesterday, remaining but a
few hours, went away with a great
er knowledge, and having seen more
of Perth Amboy's glorious past than
a majority of our own citizens.
1t is said one must go AWAY from
home to learn of his real worth and
so it is with the city. Perth Amboy-
ans will travel miles to see points of
interest in other places, yet they
never once think of seeing the his
toric places in their own city, which,
with the exception of independence
Hall, in Philadelphia, and Faneuil
Hall, in Boston, are perhaps the most
notable relics of the revolution in
the country.
First in interest comes the old
Westminster, the mansion of the
governor of the province. 1t was
there that Benjamin Franklin held
that memorable all-night session
with his son, who was governor of
East Jersey. Franklin tried to per-
suade the governor that the cause of
the colonies would finally triumph
over the British crown, but the son
refused to be convinced and he and
his father bid farewell. Franklin's
coach rolled away from the door of
the old mansion, through the streets
of Perth Amboy and away to Bruins
wicktown on the road to Philadel-
phia.
st. Peters church was a barracks
for the British soldiers and horses
were stabbed there. History tells us
that the men ate their meals from
the fiat tombstones in the church
yard, while other tombstones show
the result of the bombardment of the
British fleet as it sailed up the bay
and cast anchor off Wards Point.
We have the barracks, the old tea
house and the little surveyor gen
erals office where the ancient rec
ords of East Jersey are kept, not to
mention the old residences which
date back to the days of 1776. In
few places are so many objects of
historic interest to be found, yet the
city of Perth Amboy has not made a
single step toward securing and pre-
serving any of these reminders of
the famous past. In no other city is
such indifference shown. Not even
an historical society exists here to
make an effort toward preserving
the places. Our guests, when told
this express establishment and AN
not understand. 1t is to be hoped
that before these places are yet de-
stroyed something will be done to-
ward securing them as a lasting
monument for posterity to look up
on to remind them of the heroic
deeds of those who established this
land as a home of the free and a
refuge for the oppressed.

Daniel In Babylon

dor, and wealth of Babylon sur
/ passed belief. Founded two mill
enniums before the Christian era,
it covered ten times the area of
the largest city VI modern times.
The fascinating loneliness OF the
metropolis diverted ALEXANDER
attention from the incalculable
treasures of the royal Golfers.
Though its ruins have been the
/ quarry out Of which a score of
cities have been built, they still
rise in vast mounds upon the plain.
Yet, when Babylon was shin
ing in meridian splendor, one
thing eclipsed it in the eye of God
and angel, ifnot of man, and that,
too, the most unlikely thing the
city COMMUNICATIVE character of a
young Hebrew captive. Daniel
was greater than the city in which
he lived, The city is dead. The
man lives. The character of Dan
lei has been the noble model on
which tens Of thousands of young
men have fashioned their lives.
He made the most out of his
situation. He might have COM
planned Of his environment. He
might have said, I'm the puppet
of despotic ruler; might as we'll
submit to the inevitable. I'm de-
/ prived Of personality and influence.
1t makes no difference how I live
or what l do" Instead Of that,
with courteous and winning man
ner, but without sacrifice of prin-
ciple, he adjusted himself to his
surroundings without giving Of
fence, and achieved success
through the very conditions which
seemed to make it impossible.
He had fixed religious princi-
pies. He knew what he believed,
and why. He was rooted and
| grounded. Religion was not a
matter Of geographical location
with him. He felt its sacred OBJ
legations as strongly in Babylon
as he ever did in Jerusalem. No
doubt they had a proverb in his
day which correspondent to our
modern maxim, when in Rome,
do as Romans do. " But he scorn-
ed the adage.
He was incorruptible. Babylon
is the New Testament type of
prohigacy. In the midst of self
lndulgent and effeminate court and
populace, among strangers, five
hundred miles from the restraints
of home and Church and acquain-
tances, with the subtle, undermin-
ing influence of general degener-
acy, beset by the world, the flesh
and the devil, the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eye, and the pride
Of life, Daniel purposed in his
heart that he would not defle him
self"
Jesus words are strikingly ex-
emplifed, seek first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness, and
all else shall be added" Dan
iel stepped at once to the COM
handing position of prime minis
ter of the proudest monarchy on
earth and retained it half CEN
fury. He was able to befriend
with patriotic services his unfor-
tunate ow-countrymen in their
exile. He exalted the name and
nature and worship Of the true
God in a heather court and coun-
try. He left at once an inspira-
ton and pattern for young men
of every age.
