W. soup, of West Newton, In be half of the ladies of West Newton, presented the tea service with the following remark.: Patriotism is one of the noblest sentiments that Ands a home in the human breast; it is only lees elevated than our holy religion itself. It kindles this fixes of eloquence in the breast of the orator, and line him up to his highest conceptions, and gives to his lips their su blimed utterances, when, in thoughts that breathe, clothed In words:thet barn, he wilts and seethes - treason and traitors. From its high dude the poet draws inspirations at once sweetest and most elevated; and other knights of the pen moved by its holy impul ses, like Milton', angels in celestial monad, hurl mountains of honest thought on the head' of wretch' who, divested of the generous sen timent are, like Milton's devil, hurled from leaven, great only in infamy and power for mischief. In time of a nation's peril, patriot ism transforms men of all classes into grim soldiers, and leads them to cffer up their pre cious lives as a encriline for the public good. Ito these stirring time, our patriotio orators, literati and soldiers, find ample scope for the employment of their respective talents. Our teloved country with all her governmental masbinery for the development of national greatness—materiel intellectual and moral, is assailed with destruotive intent by men upon whom she never laid her hands, but as the mother lays hers on the head of her son. Against their colossal crime, before which Catalina's treason piles, and Arnold's! takes a fairer form—our orators have folmlnated the execrations of an indignant and outraged people, our posts have immortalised their in famy in biting and eatirioal verse, while oth ers have written up their cheddars in all their mature ugliness and setania blackness, with such singular distinctness, that their cowardly sympathisers, true to their serpen tine fiddled, in unconscious acknowledge Lent of the uneaten of the likened, have taken the latist din of the Republic, and despoiling It of all that pedaled to our na tionality and the Union, have forced 'he in nocent lips of the Goddess of Liberty to pro claim them copperheads. Bat when orator, poet, and journalist have exhausted their stone of indignant lightning and thunder upon their glowing heads, it remains for the American women to admiolster to the sym pathetic, traitor the most delicate and wither ering rebuke, by deolaring him disqualified for essocittion with the American matron or the rites of hospitaxity. This, if not the un kindest Is the deepest cud of all; he may be expelled from legislative halls with igno miny, but if woman will but smile approvingly open him, he may bear op. Stern men may deny him association, but 11 woman wUI but smile id pity, he may bear the shook. Bat Oh I when the patriotic American matron stands in the foreground of a cloud of pure, patriotic maidens, and sperns him from their society, aye, from the festal board, then may the crawling thing exclaim in the language of a kindred spirit—"My Finial:mint is greater than I can bear." When women point and say "with such an one have no fellowship, no, tot so mush as to eat," he may well exclaim, "I ism • vagabond in the earth." We deem you f,rtunate,madam, that It was your proud privilege to stand by the festal burl, and guard its sanctity from the pelltst log of the wearer of treasons' badge; aitd in the name of your patriotic shiers, the ladies of West Newton and vicinity, I pi-dent/on this gift, as an exprodslon of their high ep predation of your love of country, and the courage that manifested R. But I wish to say to you, madam, and to this assezob%y, Sail this gift expresses more then their 'update lion of your loyalty—ti says, yours was the golden opporftwils to say and do only what Is in the heart of snob of the fair deport, and that when their bell shell summon the hungry to the hospitable board, earls tone, like the tones of this bell, is qualified by, "None but the loyal need respond."
