Tiik following interesting letter writ
ten by a friend and relative in Norris
town, Fa., we clip from tlio Booth bay,
(Maine) Register. The letter itself has
peculiar interest to us, bringing to view
scenes made familiar in childhood ns
the home of those held most dear in
memory, and that it will interest others
by its historical reference and the evi
dence of much improvement we transfer
it to our colums.
Thinking it possible a letter from pip
ing hot "Quakervania" migh bo read
able just now in icy Maine—icy com
mercially, if not thermslly—l drop you
a few lines describing my summer visit
to "the shrines"—the battle ground at
Brandywine, where our gallant W ayne
cannonaded and fought the mercenary
Hessians, a long and hot summer day,
September lltb, 1771. This place is
more sacred to me than Plymouth
Hock to you ; and as life carries me into
the "sere and yellow leaf" my footsteps
connot be restrained over two years
from seeking the pleasant shades and
hills ot theclassicstream, nearby, where
I was born and spent my childhood days.
It is a beautiful agricultural region now,
covered with verdure and growing corn,
the surface being a succession of rolling
hills and fertde vallies with occasional
cropping out of boulders on primary
rocks of gray granite. Hut oh I how the
hands ot progress and improvement
have marred (?) its sacred aspect and
surroundings. The log and most of trie
frame houses are gone, witli the timber
forests in which I hunted the squirrel,
rabbit and muskrat. The "worm" ami
Swede enclosures give place to the
thorn hedge, wire and "stun" fence, ns
you pronounce the last in \ ankeeland,
(and as showing that all the wisdom
and progress is not in New hngland.)
nearly ail the highways, which used to
go straight over hill and dale, between
important places, or more likely on
farm-lines or to suit the land owner s
fields, have recently been removed to
the vallies, and along water courses.
Thus the face of the country i chang |
ed, but it is the dear old home still, and
contains a few lingering pilgrims who
set out in life with your unworthy cor
respondent. Hut although you have
been over the ground yourself, your
readers only know "Brandywine ' in
history; so i must narrow my remarks .
from general description to a little Penti
■ylvania brag, but before doing so, will
add the fact, that during my week's !
rustificalion I visited "Cedsrcroft' the
manorisl establishment of Bayard lay
lor, whose fame is doubtless familiar to
the people of Maine as all New Kngland.
And here I may point a moral by say 4
ing. that 1 knew young Bayard when be
started a journal in Pheonixville. and
yourself as a boy, was printer's I> in
his office.
Then (184S) Bayard was ayoung "rad
ical" anl presumptively an anti-slave
ry and temytrancr man. But alas, how
the fine gold became dim by intercom *c
with the world of h'erature and current i
morals! A young man under fifty, hi*
body rests in Logwood cemetery, near
by, undoubtedly a victim to fast living
abroad. Ilia fancy planned and brick
built mansion, embowered in great for
est trees, wears a lonely, neglected a*
pect. It looks like the castle of some
storied lord, who was called suddenly
away from his dream of the future,
leaving all in dessolation !
Precisely in the centre of the detour
made by .bir William Howe, when lie
•fooled Washington,by turning bi right
flank at Hrandywine Sept. 11, 1777. on
the Pereopson. aeonfluentof the river,
lives Stephen Harlingtoo and wife, the
former in his eighty third yetr, sod she
just an octogenarian. Here they have
lived nearly sixty year* together end
reared a considerable family, on a very
hitly, but most productive farm of about
one hundred acres.
This plantation kept free from vegeta
ble trash, and fencer! mostly with wire
fence, upon iron fastenings, for many
years has been devoted to butter mak
ing, the old couple being the constant
manipulators of the "guilt-edged" ar
tide, which be transports weekly to
Philadelphia, ,".0 miles distant, via the
Philadelphia and Baltimore P.. It.
My earliest reeollecMon of the old
lady was when I saw her, n demure
damsel of eighteen years, barefooted, on
the flag-atones before the apring-houes
of her father, while lofty oak limbs
threw their shade aronnd her. This I
was sixty years ago, and the locality
about four miles from her present home, j
Two years ago, I bade her good bye, she 1
standing (almost as the described girl)
in her husband's spring house, delving
in butter ns of old! And now again
last week I repeated my farewell on the
tamr *po(, as she and her husband ex
cused themselves by saying, that they
cantinued at it, because thev are "used
to it. and still able to do it." he adding,
"I would not feel content to sell butler
unless 1 have a hand in making it."
The old lady is up with the sun, and
against the protest of the children, is
still found assisting at the milking, as
also superintendent of the butter mak
ing. He, it is reported, does all his
plowing, "just because he feels like it,"
and is a daily worker on the farm be
aides. As msy be supposed such indus
try has marie them wealthy; still they
work, because they say it is their "duty
to make themselves useful in the line
of their highest capacity." But there
is another fact to his credit, he is s fine
French scholar, possessing most of the
classics in that language, of which be is
a great admirer, and daily render. He
also reads Latin and sometimes does
surveying. I do not offer Mr. I), to your
readers as the everage Pennsylvania
Quaker, but he is strictly oneof the sect,
wearing plain garments and saying
"thee" with the best of them.
I have thus givan you a sample of
rennsyluania industry, pluck and per
severance, thinking it will be good
reading in New Kngland, were energy
has subdued the land and "plundered
the waters" —and have lugged In the
names and locality of my heroes, lest I
should be suspected of drawing a fancy
sketch ; for I doubt not ibeir native
modesty will deprecate such a publica
tion. Yours, .

The Bi-Oentcnnial in Philadelphia.
Mh. Kmroii : Since sending you my
previous letter, inucli of interest lorn
occured here in connection with the
near at hand celebration.
The young Indiana from the United
States Training School at Carlisle will |
come down and take part in the pro
cession of October "Itli—Landing I'ay.
The girls will sing and the boys' brass
band will perform. Connected with
this band I give you an incident. On!
the Fourth of July when Garfield was
dping, our association held a meeting
in the Main Building at F.iirruounl
Park. Thirty thousand people count!
tilted the audience and Clayton Me
Michael, of tho North Amniin, hid
just read a telegram concerning the
President, when the Indian hand \
marched upon the platform and com
menced to play. After performing sev
eral pieces in excellent stile, amidst
much applause, they, at a signal from
their leader, commenced " A'- mr tug
Tiod to 7'hrr," and I think I never wit
nessed such an effect in my life. Si ex
quisitely was every passage rendered *
to arou-o wonder. Scarcely an eye in
that vast assemblage was untiioisiened
and so deep was the silence that the
breathing o! the people could he heard.
It seemed as though these poor little
waifs of the wilderness were tlm- -weet
Iv mourning at the dving bed of tbe i
tireat Father at Washington.
The far simile of the ship " 'is
ready and will ascend the Ivln re on
Iho morning of tho iMlli. accompanied
by the vessels of the United S ties
North Atlantic Squadron. " That scene
will he one worth a long journey to look
upon, as the whole river will he filled
with great steamers, men-of-war, iner
chant ships, steam tugs, rnsgi itlcept
yachts, Ac., Ac., and, amidst the roar of
cannon, ringing of hells and Llnwit of
whistles, the landing will he in ch*, l'i.e

The column will number tint v ti > i

I ii the evening ther-- will i .- fir- m or ks
in the park of the Ino-t magnificent

•n Wednesday the indu-tries of
Pennsylvania will make tin- r parade,
and I venture to n-o-rt th it i " di-p! v
lih ev-r vet teen witne-sed that will
compare to it. There ;.l lie miles up
on miles of machinery in mot- -n, ; r
during their virions manufactures.
M my of then) laitcr will tie distribute,]
among the spectators along the i"iitc
who will keep them a* sotiv, i rs of th
festive orrcan. A complete 1 .> -I
description ot thro, would more than
fill this paper, hut one or tw 'ma rve
to give your render* an idea o r t|,. ir
extent. Tin-Hi twin L <• ir, .i- V, ck

employes nnd one of their mr-en-e i
engine* capable of running in ■ - -f>

There will bo loflfßt and rolling m: Is

have the - comi'ctitive unging in Alii
son's gre .t lot tiling in We Pnilsdel
phis. I t >-v will number voices
splendidly trained, and among nth- r
piere they will sing a song especially
written for them, called " Penn svl v .
nis," the effect of which must be heard
to t.e appreciated.
•n the evening of this day will be
given Tableaux Viv.ant", of which I be
lieve you have already received a com
plete description. That desertpli. n.liow
ever falls very far short of the reaiitv.
whose a; lender and gorgeouness ex- ■
cecd anvtbing ever attempted. Tits
peculiarly consltucfetl r fl.-ctor l imps,
shading the eyes of the spectator and
throwing their fl'iods of light <1 rectly
upon the tableaux, some of which are
'Jfi feet nnd thirty feet long, will accom
plish this.
But shove all the grandest sight to -
the stranger will be to see the illumina
tion, Philadelphia illuminated and
dressed in fl gs means something that
is sucrsrpiinnallv magnificent, something
to be remembered with jov and *tifac |
tion for a lifetime. Imagine nv< r L">U •
0(10 houses all lit up with i ts in ev.-rv .
window pane, public and other build
ing* sblsr.e with fancy des-gns in ga,
and the shipping on the rivers |)e!ew ire j
and .Schuylkill trimmed and decked
out with swing lamps of v irious colors.
•in Thursday the festivities will s- '
simie another sliape. At Allison's build- •
ing the Welsh choirs arid United tier- ;
man singing societies will sing selected
pieces, as will al*o most likdy the chil
dren of fho public schools to the mim- j
her of between 3000 and 5000.
In Fsiirnount Park live hundred bi |
cycles wiil have a grand " meet " an<l ]
parade after which they will ascend to
the top of the reservoir hill and there
perform some wonderful raring end
fancy riding.
Under the auspices of fhe -Schuylkill
Navy, will be given a regatta, open to
all amateur oarsmen, which will doubt
less be a memorable affair, ft* invitations
to compete for the elegant prizes have
been sent all over the United United
States. And there will be mich rowing
as has not been witnessed for many
years.
The Ualedonian and other national
clubs will give exhibitions of the sporta
and games peculiar to their repoctive
countries.
Friday clme* the feast with a scene of
grandeur nnd exhibition of j>owersquite
worthy of the occasion. While on the
E receding days Pennsylvania exhibits
er glories of peace, she, on that day,
displays her glories of war, her mighty,
mailed arm, grim and yet joyous, for
every gun will be loaded with bouquet*
instead of ball, and every ennnon twill
be spiked with sweet white tarnation*.
Msjor-Oeneral Hartranft msy well fee!
proud, when on that morning, with
twenty-three thousand of Pennsylvania's

Our language furnishes all the words

slaves to this vicious habit that they
swear without kuowing it ; they con
verse hi a dialect of oaths. They
would he di-gusted them - Ives if they
could sec one of their conversation*
taken in short hand and put in print
with coarse oaths bristling all along
the line of their remarks. Profanity
and vulgarity do not always go to
gether but they are apt to. The swear
er is in danger of becoming vulgar,
and the vulgar man is invariably a
swearer. When both habits meet in
the same individual they make him
intensely offensive to the pure minded
people. It is imagined by some that
an occasional oath or a little vulgari
ty gives spice or flavor to conversation
hut if it does, it is a very offensive
flavor. There is nothiug more charm
ing than chaste and simple language,
and it is worth any man's while to
cultivate the habit of testing it. An
oath would not lie considered a flavor
to the conversation of a modest and
beautiful maiden, neither van it justly
hold to add to the piquancy of female
conversation.
