Memory's Painting
Sunny scenes of boyish glee,
Lure my retrospective eye ;
Hallowing by their mellow haze,
Sterner hours of manhood's days.
Following memory's golden train,
Soon I sit a boy again ;
'Neath the aged maples shade,
When in innocence I strayed.
O'er the daisy-spangled mead.
Now my bright-eyed captor leads,
Gently graving on my heart,
All the fancies of her art.
By the mossy brooklet's side,
Where the speckled minnows glide;
Pensively I sit and gaze,
On its liliputian waves.
To my raptured view appears,
All the charms of youthful years;
Ne'er shall time's swift hand efface.
Scenes fond memory disp lays.
And when from these mortal shores,
My freed spirit bounding sears ;
'Ere I bid the earth farewell,
Briefly on these scenes I'll dwell.
The Calico Cloak.
"HAVE you seen the new scholar ?"
asked Mary Lark, a girl of twelve or four
teen years, as she ran to meet a group of
school-mates, who were coming toward the
school-house ; "she cuts the most comical
looking figure you ever saw. Her cloak
is made out of calico, and her shoes are
brogans, such as men and boys wear."
"Oh, yes, I've seen her," replied Lucy
Brooks. "She is the new washerwoman's
daughter. I shouldn't have thought Mr.
Brown would have taken her into the
Academy; but I suppose he likes the mon
ey that comes through suds as well as any.
It is clear, of course."
And the air rang with the loud laughter
of the girls.
"Come, let us go in and examine her,"
continued Mary, as they ascended the
steps of the school-house; "I am thinking
she will make some fun for us."
The girls went into the dressing-room,
where they found the new scholar. She
was a mild, intelligent looking child, but
very poorly, though tidily clad. The girls
went around her whispering and laughing
with each other, while she stood trembling
and blushing in one corner of the room,
without venturing to raise her eyes from
the floor.
When they entered school, they found
the little girl far in advance of those of
her age in her studies, and she was placed
in classes two or three years her senior.—
This seemed, on the whole, to make those
girls who were disposed to treat her un
kindly dislike her the more; and she, be
ing of a retiring disposition, through their
influence had no friends, but went to and
returned from school alone.
"And do you really think," said Mary
Lark, as she went up to the little girl a
few weeks after she entered school, "that
you are going to get the medal ? It will
correspond nicely with your cloak!"
And she caught hold of the cape and
held it out from her, while the girls around
joined in her loud laugh.
"Calico cloak get the medal ! I guess
she will ! I should like to see Mr. Brown
giving it to her !" said another girl as she
caught hold of her arm and peeped under
the child's bonnet.
The little girl struggled to release her
self, and when she was free she ran home
as fast as she could go.
"Oh, mother," she said, as she entered
her mother's humble kitchen, "do answer
Mr. Graham's letter and tell him we will
go to New York to live I I don't like to
go to school here. The girls call me Cali
co Cloak and Brogans. You don't know,
mother, how badly they treat me."
"Mary, my dear," said her mother, "you
must expect to meet with those who will
treat you unkindly on account of your
poverty, but you must not be discouraged.
Do your duty, my child, and you will even
tually come out the conqueror."
Although Mrs. Lee tried to encourage
her child, yet she knew that she had to
meet with severe trials for one so young.
"But, mother, they are all unkind to
me," replied Lizzie; "there isn't one that
loves me."
And the child buried her face in her
hands and sobbed aloud.
In Bridgeville Academy there were a
few selfish, unprincipled girls; and the
others joined them in teasing the little
"Calico Cloak," as they called her, from
thoughtlessness and from a love of sport.
But they knew not how deeply each spor
tive word pierced the heart of the little
stranger, and how many bitter tears she
shed in secret over their unkindness.
Mrs. Lee, learning that the scholars still
continued their unjust treatment towards
her child, resolved to accept her brother's
invitation, although he was a poor man,
and become a member of his family, hoping
that while there her child could continue
her studies and perhaps through his influ
ence lead a happier life among her school
mates. Accordingly, at the end of the
term she left Bridgeville and removed to
New York. Although Lizzie had been a
member of the school but one term, she
had gained the medal, and it was worn
from the Academy beneath the despised
garment.
BUSINESS CARDS,
Weeks ' months and years glided by, and
to thO students of the Bridgeville Acade
my the little "Calico Cloak" was forgotten.
Those wbo were at school with her had
left to enter the business of life.
Twelve years after Mrs. Lee left town,
Mr. Maynard. a young clergyman, came
into Bridgeville and was settled as the
pastor of the village church. .It was re
ported at the sewing-circle the week fol
lowing his ordination that it was expected
that he would bring his bride into town in
a few weeks. There was a great curiosity
to see her, especially after it was reported
that she was a talented young authoress.
Soon after Mr. Maynard gratified their
curiosity by walking into church with his
young wife leaning on his arm. She was
a lady of great intellectual beauty. and
everybody (as they always are at first) was
deeply interested in the young minister
and his wife.
The following week the ladies flocked
to see her, and she promised to meet them
at the next gathering of the sewing -circle.
The day arrived, and although it was
quite stormy, Mrs. Deacon Brown's parlor
was filled with smiling faces. The Dea
con's carriage was sent to the parsonage
after Mrs. Maynard, and in due time it
returned, bringing the lady with it. The
shaking of hands at her arrival can only
be imagined by those who have been pre
sent on such an occasion.

"How are you pleased with our village ?"
;12 to -Stilt%
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY„I ULY 2, 1873
asked a Mrs. Britton, after the opening
exercises were over, and she took a seat
beside Mrs. Maynard.
"I like its appearance very much; it
certainly has improved wonderfully within
the last twelve years."
"Were yon ever in Bridgeville before ?"
asked another lady, as those around looked
somewhat surprised.
"I was here a few months when a child,"
replied Mrs. Maynard.
Their curiosity was excited.
"Have you friends here ?" asked a third
after a moment's silence.
"I have not. I resided wit!: my moth
er, the widow Lee. We lived in a little
cottage which stood upon the spot now
occupied by a large store on the corner of
Pine street."
"The widow Lee ?" repeated Mrs. Brit
ton; "I well remember the cottage, but
do not recollect the name."
"I think I attended school with you at
the Academy," replied Mrs. Maynard.—
"You were Miss Mary Lark, wero you
not ?"
"That was my name," replied the lady,
as a smile passed over ber features at be
ing recognized; "but I am really quite
ashamed that my memory has proved so
recreant."
"I was known in the Academy as the
little 'Calico Cloak.' Perhaps you can re
member me by that name."
The smile faded from Mrs. Britton's
face and a crimson blush overspread her
features, which in a few moments was seen
deepening upon the faces of others pre
sent.
There was a silence for some minutes,
when Mrs. Maynard looked up and found
she had caused considerable disturbance
among the ladies of her own age by ma
king herself known.
"Oh ! I remember very well when the
little 'Calico Cloak' went to the Academy,"
said an old lady as she looked up over her
glasses, "and I think, if my memory serves
me right, some of the ladies present will
owe Mrs. Maynard an apology."
"I had no intention whatever, ladies,"
replied Mrs. Maynard, "to reprove any one
present by making myself known ; but as
it may seem to some that such was my in
tention, I will add a few words. Most of
the young ladies present will remember
the little 'Calico Cloak,' but no one but
the wearer knows how deeply each unkind
word pierced the little heart that beat un
der it. And as I again hear the old Acad
emy bell ring, it brings back fresh to my
mind the sorrows of childhood. But let I
no lady mistake me by supposing I cherish
an unkind feeling toward anyone. I know
that, whatever the past may have been,
you are now my friends. But, ladies, let
me add, if yon have children, learn a les
son from my experience and treat kindly
the poor and despised. A calico cloak
may cover a heart as warm with affection
and as sensitive of sorrow as one that beats
beneath a velvet covering. Whenever you
meet a child who shows a disposition to
despise the poor, tell the story of the 'Cal
ico Cloak ;' it will carry its own moral
with it."
"That is the shortest but best sermon I
ever heard," said the old lady again, as
she put her handkerchief under her glass
es; "and I do not believe its moral effect
will be lost upon any of us."
The old lady was right. The story went
from one to another until it found its way
into the old Academy. At that very time
a little boy was attending school there
whose mother was struggling with her
needle to give him an education. The
boys often made sport of hispatched knees
and elbows, and he would run sobbing
home to his mother. But when the "Cal
ico Cloak" reached the scholars the little
boy (for he was naturally a noble•hearted
child) became very popular in the school;
and the children from that time were very
kind to "Little Patchy," as he had always
been called.
When Mrs. Maynard heard the story of
"Little Patchy" she felt that she was well
repaid for all she had suffered in childhood.
Priaiug DT the pima
Grumblers.
Grumbling is a disease which, once
caught, is seldom got rid of again ; a habit
that sticks like a bur and grows like a
mushroom; a Nemesis garment, which,
when put on, cannot be taken off and hung
up in the wardrobe at pleasure,
but which
clings to the devoted flesh with immovable
tenacity and resists every effort from the
outside to tear it away. Nothing but the
most resolute will conquers that bit when
formed; but resolute will, though strong
enough when dealing with other folk's
weaknesses and tempers, is wonderfully in
capable when acting as a curb on one's
self. And when the question comes of
doing anything
disagreeable to flesh and
bload for the good of one's soul, resolution
is apt to melt away from marble to mud.
Yet if the grumbler only knew how dis
agreeable he makes himself! It is to be
presumed that we like to be loved, save
those few eccentric people who boast of
their ability to live without the sympathy
or oharity of their kind. But, taking man
kind en masse, and making no abnormal
exceptions, we all desire the esteem and
good feeling of our fellows, and the most
of us condescend even to underhand mean
ness to insure consideration. But the
grumbler, without intending it, makes all
who come in contact with him so uncom
fortable that they only long to escape him;
and he wearies even the stoutest affection
by time. So far from seeing that any
cloud of his has a silver lining, to his way
of looking at things the brightest silver
throws a sable shadow; and instead of the
longest lane having a turn at last, the
shortest that he may have to traverse is as
if endless.
Whatever good things he has are over
topped by their corresponding disadvanta
ges, and his lean kine eat up his fat ones
at a sitting. If you praise his children,
he points out to you their faults; if you
tell him his garden is pretty, he laments
the trouble and expense of keeping it nr ;
if you envy him the sunny aspect of his
flower-clad house he counts up to you the
cost of the faded carpets and curtains
which a southern aspect involves, and
sighs over earwigs in his tea and greenfly
on his roses. Whatever you see in his
surroundings to admire or approve he is
sure to expose to you the defects; and if
he has to choose between admiring a flower
and lamenting a weed, the weed will come
in for the lamentation and the flower will
go unregarded.
LowLINEss of mind is not a flower that
grows in the field of nature, but is planted
by the finger of God in a renewed heart,
and learned of the lowly Jesus.
MEN do less than they ought, unless
they de all they can.
Don't Call a Man a Liar.
Never tell a man that be is a liar unless
you are certain you can lick him. for, as a
general rule when you say that it means
fight.
_
I have arrived at.this conclusion through
sad experience. I know it is unsafe to
give a muscular Christian the lie.
.. .
- We were standing on the sidewalk in
front of the club when I made the state
ment. We had been talking on politics,
and men who talk on politics and get hot
over it are—to put it mildly—lunatics, or
else want an office, or have sonic friend
who wants an office. This man made an
assertion touching the fair fame of my
favorite candidate, which I believed to be
untrue. It is probable that if it had been
as true as it was false, I should have taken
the same course, because, you understand
a man has no sense who talks politics,
anyhow. I think I said that before, but
it is all the same. I want to make it
strong, and get you to understand how I
got my ornamental eye.
I mildly suggested that a man who
would make such a statement as that was
lost to all sense of shame and would he
guilty of any base crime.
He disagreed with me upon that point.
As for himself, he never made a statement
except upon the most ample proof. My
candidate was the meanest villain unhung.
I told him he lied !
I have been kicked by a mule ; have
fallen out of a second story window on a
hard pavement; eaten green persimmons ;
heard Miss Blow read poetry for two hours
and a half; skated; hunted; rode a
sharp-backed horse of mustang parentage,
an adept in the art of bucking; suffered
griefof various kinds, and still cling to life—
but all these are feathers in the balance
as compared with that little word, liar!
Immediately after saying it I sat down
—not in the way people usually sit down.
I sat on the rim of my right ear, about
ten feet from the spot where I had been
standing when I made use of the expres
sion quoted above. lam not used to sit
ting in that position, and do not think it
agrees with me.
I have heard of people who "got up on
their ear," and walked off. I wish I
knew how to do it, and would have pro
' pelled myself away from the spot immedi
ately, if I had possessed this happy faculty.
I proceeded to bring myself to a perpen
dicular, fully intending to use the means
of locomotion which nature had given me;
but when I came right side up, something
heavy ran against my nose, and as I felt
very tired, I sat down upon my ear. I
like a change; it is too monotonous doing
the same thing over and over again.
Somebody took my large friend away.
and I was quite pleased when he was gone.
I have concluded to look twice at a man
before I give him the lie again. My eye
is in mourning, my nose swelled to the
size of a citron with the color of a blush
rose, and my store clothes look as though
they had been run through a patent
sausage machine. I would not have that
man's temper for anything in the world.
The Aim in Advertising.
It was the remark of a very eminent
Bostonian that he regarded an advertise
ment in a paper as a personal invitation
extended to him to call, and he added :
"while I sometimes hesitate about entering
a store, the proprietors of which have not
thus sent their card to my residence, I
always feel certain of a cordial welcome
from un advertising firm." There is in
this remark an assurance of one of the
many results of advertising. The trader
and his calling becomes identified, and the
name of a man is inseparably connected in
the mind of the general public with his
merchandise. It may not be the very day
that an advertisement appears, that it bears
its fruit ; weeks or months may elapse,
and then when the want arises the article
to be obtained immediately suggests the
advertiser. This is the effect of general
advertising when persistently followed.—
A special class of advertising, where some
novelty is announced is more immediate.
A shrewd business man once advertised a
trifling article in a manner which would
scarce prove remunerative. His neighbors
expressed their regret at his folly, but he
appeared contented. Though his gross
sales of the article did not cover the cost
of his advertising, he attracted a new class
of people to his store, and his shrewdness
paid him in a very little time, for new eyes
saw what he had to offer in addition to
the specialty advertised, and fresh purses
came under contribution to him.
The object which all aim to accomplish
in advertising, is an increase in business.
The nimble shilling is what we require in
this age. It costs very little more in the
way of expense to carry on a business of
two hundred thousand collars than it re
quires to do half that amount. The cost
of rent, and personal living, and many in
cidental expenses, do not increase in the
ratio of business, while time is saved ; for
there is a greater profit resulting from a
trade of two hundred thousand in one year
than from the same amount, and even
more, extended over twice the space of
time. These simple facts are well known
by energetic business men who advertise
as the most powerful method of saving
time, by increasing business, and thus ma
king capital doubly active. Indeed, it is
often made a substitute for actual capi
tal.—Boston Journal.
Night Work,
In reply to the question, how long a
time should be regarded as the minimum to
be spent in bed in each twenty-four hours,
the .Lancet says : We are, of course,
speaking only of adults; and we think we
may place the minimum at six hours fur
meu, and seven for women, with an addi
tional hour,. or even two, being taken
whenever it is practicable.
Then as regards night work; how far
is that specially prejudicial ? We believe
that for the young it is really injurious,
by the mere fact of its being night work ;
but for those whose organisms are con
solidated we greatly doubt if it be at all
injurious, per se. But there are sundry
conditions inexorably requiring to be
observed, if night work is to do no harm
First of all, there must be no curtail
ment of the allowance of bed above men
tioned, and this allowance of repose
must be taken in a continuous manner.
A man who works up to 4 A. M. should'
after that lie in bed till 10, and, if
possible, should get an additional hour's
sleep and a meal after it. Secondly,
the light by which be works at night
should be very white, powerful and
steady, and should be carefully concen
trated, by a green shade, on his books
or papers; insufficient flickering, or too
diffused light is one of the most serious
causes of the brain irritation which afflicts
might workers.

Teach them self reliance.
Teach them to make bread.
Teach them to foot up store bills
Teach them not to wear false hair.
Teach them how to wash and iron.
Teach them not to paint and powder.
Teach them to wear thick, warm shoes.
Bring them up in the way they should

family.

hundred cents.
Teach them how to cook a good meal of
victuals.
Teach them, every day, hard, practical
common sense.

the money of the beaux. _

intemperate and dissolute young men.

Girls,
Girls are marvels of beauty and wonder
fully made. Though fashioned by the
hands of the Creator, they are shaped by
the dressmakers and milliners. It takes
exactly two hundred and eleven pounds of
flesh and blood, thirty-two yards of dress
material, ninety-seven yards of yellow rib
bon, twelve pounds of cotton, twenty-four
copies of the Coach, sixteen feet of horse
hair, thirty-three ounces of,flour, two box
es of red paint, and a bottle of night
blooming seriousness to prepare the aver
age Rocky mountain girl for church. They
know less in an hour, and can tell more in
a minute than any other person on earth.
Their strong suit is to make trouble and
bustles, and the proficiency they have ac
quired is the conundrum of the age. In
a game of talk they invariably hold the
right bower or take the ace with the king.
They are totally ignorant of 'the rules of
civilized warfare, and never let up when
they get a fellow down. A girl can look
pretty and ugly, happy and sorrowful, hot
and cold, sweet and sour, sentimental and
disgusted:, in ten seconds, and the only
place in the world where the boys have
the best of them is in sitting up of nights.
Yet with all their faults we love them still,
and a few more of their photographs may
be bad by addressing the Driver and in
closing fifty cents. Marriage proposals
must be prepaid.—The (Col.) Coach.

Oh, Columbia, thi gem of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free;
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
A world offers homage to thee.
Thy mandates make heroes assemble,
When liberty's form stands in view;
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the rod, white and blue.
CHORUS.
When borne by the red, white and blue,
When borne by the red, white and blue,
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white and blue.
When war waged its wide desolation,
And threatened our land to deform,
The ark then of freedom's foundation,
Columbia rode safe through the storm.
With her garland of victory e'er her,
When so proudly she bore her brave crew,
With her flag proudly floating before ber,
The boast of the red, white and blue.
The boast, bc.

Nor the star of his glory grow dim.

And each to its colors prove true;
The army and navy forever,

Declaration of Independence
When, in the course of human events,
it becomes necessary for one people to dis
solve the political bands which have con
nected them with another, and to as
sume, among the powers of the earth, the
separate and equal station to which the
laws of nature and nature's God entitled
them, a decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separa
tion.
We hold these truths to be self-evident
that all men are created equal ; that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among these, are
life, liberty, and the pursuit 6f happiness.
That, to secure these rights, governments
are instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned; that, whenever any formofgovern
ment becomes destructive of these ends, it
is the right of the people to alter or to
abolish it, and to institute a new govern
ment, lying its foundation on such princi
ples, and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their safety and happiness. Pru
dence, indeed, will dictate that govern
ments long established, should not be
changed for Halt and transient causes ;
and accordingly, all experience bath shown
that mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they are accustomed. But, when a
long train of abuses and usurpations. pur
suing invariably the same object, evinces a
design to reduce them under absolute des
potism, it is their right, it i., their duty,
to throw off such government, and to
provide new guards for their future secu
rity. Such has been the patient suffrance
of these colonies, and such is now the
NO. 27.
necessity which constrains them to alter
their former systems of government. The
history of the present king of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all having, in direct ob
ject, the establishment of an absolute
tyranny over these States. To prove this,
let facts be submitted to a candid world:
He has refused his assent to laws the
most wholesome and necessary for the pub
lic good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass
laws of immediate and pressing importance
unless suspended in their operation till his
assent should be obtained ; and, when so
suspended, he has utterly neglected to at
tend to them.
Ile has refused to pass other laws for
the accommodation of large districts of
people, unless those people would relin
quish the right of representation in the
leoislature • a right inestimable to them,
and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies
at places unusual, uncomfortable, and dis
tant from the depository of their public
records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing
them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses
repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firm
ness, his invasions on the rights of the
people.
lie has refused, for a long time after
such dissolutions, to cause others to be
elected; whereby the legislative powers,
incapable of annihilation, have returned to
the people at large for their exercise; the
State remaining in the meantime, exposed
to all the danger of invasion from with
out. and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the pop
ulation of these States ; for that purpose,
obstructing the laws for naturalization of
foreigners ; refusing to pass others to en
courage their migration hither, and rais
ing the conditions of new appropriations
of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of
justice, by refusing his assent to laws for
establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his
will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and
the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offi
ces, and sent hither swarms of officers to
harass our people, and eat out their sub
stance.
He has kept among us in times of
peace, standing armies, without the con
sent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the military
independent of, and superior to, the civil
power.
He has combined, with others, to sub
ject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our
constitution, and acknowledged by our
laws; giving his assent to their acts of
pretending legislation :
For quartering large bodies of armed
troops among us: _ _
For protecting them, by a mock trial,
from punishment, for any murders which
they should commit on the inhabitants of
these States :
For cutting off our trade with all parts
of the world :
For imposing taxes on us without our
consent:
For depriving us, in many cases, of the
benefits of trial by a jury :
For transporting us beyond seas to be
tried for pretended offences :
For abolishing the free system of Eng
lish laws, in a neighboring province, es
tablishing therein an arbitrary govern
ment, and enlarging its boundaries, so as
to render it at once an example and fit
instrument for introducing the same ab
solute rule into these colonies :
For taking away our charters, abolish
ing our most valuable laws, and altering,
fundamentally, the powers of our govern
ments: .
For suspending our own legialaturi,
and declaring themselves invested with
power to legislate for us in all cases what
soever.
He has abdicated government here, by
declaring us out of his protection, and
waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our
coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the
lives of our people.
He is, at this time, transporting large
armies of foreign mercenaries to complete
the works of death, desolation, and tyran
ny, already begun, with circumstances of
cruelty and perfidity scarcely paralleled
in the most barbarous ages, and totally
unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens,
taken captive on the high seas to- bar
arms against their country , to become toe
executioners of their friends and brethren,
or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections
amongst us,
and has endeavored to bring
on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the
merciless Indian savages, whose known
rule of warfare is an undistinguished .de
struction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we
have petitioned for redress, in the most
humble terms ; our repeated petitions have
been answered only by repeated injury.—
A prince, whose character is thus marked
by every act which may define a tyrant,
is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting inatiention,
to our British brethren. We have warn-'
ed them, from time to time of attewpts
made by their legislature to extend an un
warrantable jurisdiction over us. We
have reminded them of the circumstances
of our emigration and settlement here.
We have appealed to their native justice
and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them, by the ties of our common kindred,
to disavow these usurpations, which would
inevitably interrupt our connections and
correspondence. They, too, have been
deaf to the voice of justice and consan
guinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce
in the necessity, which denounces our
separation, and hold them, as we hold the
rest of mankind, enemies in war; in peace,
friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of
the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
in GENERAL CONGRESS assembled,
appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
World for the rectitude of our intentions,
do, in the name, and by the authority of
the good people of these colonies, solemn
ly publish and declare, That these United
Colonies are, and of right ought to be,
FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES;
that they are absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown, and that all political
connection between them and the state of
Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally
dissolved ; and that, as FREE AND IN
DEPENDENT STATES, they have full
power to levy war, conclude peace, cop
tract alliances, establish commerce,
and to
do all other acts and things whichINDE
PENDET STATES, may of right de.
And, for the support of this declaration,
with a•firm reliance on the protection of
DIVINE PROVIDENCE, we mutually'pledge
to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and
our sacred honor.
