INDEPENDENCE DAY IN 1895
Revolutionary Officers and Soldiers
Still Living and Taking Part in
the Celebrations.

(From Files of New Hampshire Tele-
graph, Nashua, N. H., 1850
Revolutionary Soldiers: The COM
mittee of arrangements for the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July respect
fully invite all the remaining officers
and soldiers of the Revolution in this
and the neighboring towns to join the
citizens in celebrating the anniversary
of u national independence on Satur-
day the Fourth Of July next. They are
requested to meet at the Washington
house on the morning of said day.-Is-
sue, June %, 1885.
The presentation of a standard by
the ladies Of this community to the
Nashua guards will add much to the
interest of the coming celebration of
the Fourth. We anticipate for those
who take part an excellent and highly
interesting celebration.
Its coming was welcomed with ap-
propriate manifestations of joy and
rejoicing through the medium of bells
and cannon. The procession formed
under direction of Capt. Thomas G..
Buck, as chief marshal, with able as
sistants, at half-past ten on the green,
near Tyler's Coffee house, and pro-

ceeded under escort of the Nashua
guards commanded by Capt. Daniel M.
Fisk, to the Oval, where the standard
was presented by Miss Ann G. Smith,
assisted by Misses Belinda Gibson and
Sarah Knowlton, her aids. It was ac-
cepted by Ensign Sheldon.
Procession then moved to Rev. MI.

hood or exhibiting what is already de-
veloped. Surely the parks should ring
with the best music our bands can
produce. Men gifted with power to
sway the multitudes should this day
tell what the nation stands for and
pay tribute to those who are
Slow to smite and swift to spare,
Gentle and merciful and just!
Who, in the fear of God, do bear
The sword of power, a nations trust.
Today we are in need of a patri-
otism as great as that of '76. The oc-
casion is different and the problem re-
quires greater wisdom in its solution.
1t is a satisfaction to remember that
the national sword has never been
lifted in conquest. The glory Of the
starry flag is that she is an emblem of
freedom of conscience, religion and
civil liberty. Except in the cause Of
humanity she has never been in BATTLE
Not all that has been done under her
Is worthy Of praise, but it is safe to
say that few nations have a more I'M
selfish record.

Citizenship Imposes Duty.

Citizens of a free nation owe a duty,
not only to their country and them
selves, but to the whole world-to hui
manlty. There Is hardly a moment in
the life of any man when some sacri-
fee for liberty and free government is
not called for. This is as true in peace
as in war. The lesson is being i'm
pressed on the national conscience to-
day as 1t has not been before for many
years.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1917-06-30

"HUS wrote Thomas Jefferson for
the Continental congress in the
famous Declaration of Independ-
ence. It was signed at Independence
hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 1776. With
the pealing of old Liberty bell that
summer day the birth of a new nation
was announced. Like her sturdy sons,
that nation wal conceived in hardship.
Her heritage of devotion to principle
was the noblest gift brought by the
Mayfower. Innate courage grew fear
less in the face of constant danger,
and her sons grew skillful by constant
toll. They craved not courtier fayors
but demanded the right to develop
along the lines of a new democracy the.
nation then born. Contact with the
wilderness had taught them that
lis as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle
slaves
OF legendary virtue carved upon our faith
ers' graves.
For them to be convinced was as
though the thing had been decreed of
God. They were convinced and they
proclaimed their birthright by declar-
Ing their independence and then fight
ing for it against n of the proudest,
strongest nations of the earth.
Nation Wholly Worthy.
It was inevitable that such q begin
ming should produce a nation of stall
warts. What they lacked in knightli-
ness they made up in manliness. De-
votion to principle left no room for
compromise with policy. The result was
a people chosen by fitness for great
place in the economy of the worlds
progress.
At this season we celebrate the an
niversary of the nations birth. The
40 anniversaries since then have not
all been to our credit. We have turned
from the serious to the frivolous, the
national birthday has become a carni-
val. In the name of patriotism all
kinds of follieS have been permitted.
Instead of real honor to the nation the
day has been made an occasion for
gain. People have made for themselves
hardship in a vain attempt to have
more noise han their neighbors make.
Fitting Celebrations.
But we rejoice in the change to be
noticed in the way of observing the
nations birthday. People are begin
ming to see that noise is not patriotic
and that the youth of the present need
a better ideal of independence day.
In most of the large cities men of
prominence and foresight are arrang-
ing for public games. What could be

Proper Celebration
Of Anniversary of
the Nations Birth

When, in the course of human events, 1t
becomes necessary for one people to dis
solve the political bands which nave con-
nected them with another and to assume
among the Powers of the earth the sep
arate and equal station to which the laws
of nature and of natures God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare
She causes which impel them to the sepa-
ration.
