CHAPTER III. Continued.
Mrs. Yorke retired at the nsnnl tiorir.
Before she had began to QddresR, ber bus
band followed her to the room, locked the
door, and put the key in his pocket. Mrs.
Yorke was surprised : tbry never slept with
their door locked.
"Why have joa done that ?' she osked.
"Uecause I chose. Yea can't sail ont of
the room now, with yonr trngedy nir, end re
fuse to boar me. Now, Mrs. Yorke, who
concocted this moonlight walk to-nibtT
How fur did your love-muUiog go in it ? I
nil! know."
Mrs. Yorke did glance at the door, for it
bad become a custom with her to leave bcr
husband to himself when the dark, jealous
mood was ou l.im, but she knew that eho
glanced in Tain. Sbe wus cnged.
"1 will not bear it," she exclaimed. "If
this is to continue, 1 will summon mamma,
here, and bare a separation arranged. I
lmve been to you a truo and faithful wife;
you know I have; that mania has come
upoa you that you should level theso re
proaches at me ?'
"You have : I giro yon credit for it. I
never doubted you until wo came here, and
you renewed your intimacy and friendbhip
with yonr old lover."
"Ho was do lover of mine," she replied,
disdaining to use evneion in such a case.
' Were you not both before me those old
days, you and he, and I chose you ? Which
was the favored lover, prny ?"
"Juuson," coolly replied Mr. Yorke.
"lie was not. "You fpeak in the face of
facts, Mr. Yorke. I married you."
"Loving him. Hut 1 was rich and he wts
poor. Do you remember your lust parting
with him, the evening he returned from that
uhsurd voyage, Vihere 1 with be had been
wrecked 1"
"What parting?'' rejoined Mrs. Yorke;
but her checks burnt and ber voice fultered.
"What parting! Shall I repeat ft, though
yon know every word of it belter than 1?
Ay, yon do ! When you told bim, with tears
ami wails and sobs, that you were miserable,
for you had bound yourself to marry me, and
you loved bim : when you Liy passively in
his arm.?, and welcomed bis embrace with a
welcome you have never given to mine I I
fpeak of that parting, 1 witnessed it."
Mrs. Yorke breathed hurriedly. She could
not speak.
"You did not deceive me, Elfznbolb,
though you thought yon did, for I buried my
injuries v. ilbin me. Jlad I not loved you so
pussionately, I should have left you to bim :
and 1 knew that you pronounced your marri
age vow 8 to me with JaDsou's kifcsos not
cold upon your lips."
She raised her head as if to speak, but no
words came.
"It was not a plossant knowledge for mo,
your brid-'groom; but I never visited it upon
you. Yon utj nwaro I never did, Eliza
beth : my love for you was too great. I
have loved 0u," be added, his tone changing
to sof'uess, "with a love passing that of man.
1 wus forbearing, nnd never visited it npon
you, save by deeper and deeper tenderness ;
1 forced mvfelt' to think ol it as a picco of
gitliFii lolly, ana l was beginning to lurget
it; I nearly bad forgotten it, Elizabeth,
when we came here."
"And so had 1 forgotten it," sho spoke Dp,
abruptly, "forgottHii .lansoti and ull connec
ted with bim. I livod but for my children,
for you, for my own natural ties and inter
ests, and I never shall live lor anything else-
J ansnn 1 wliat is he to me now r 1- or shame,
Mr. Yorke ! I am an English gentlewoman ;
your wife) and your children's mother."
"We have been here a month more. Not
a day, from the first afternoon we camo, but
be has been here, in your society, eomctimeg
twice a day."
"And buw can I help that? Circumstances
have compelled it. The child cannot bo left
without uiedicul attendance.' You are fre
quently nt borne when Mr. Junson comes,
uud you know that bis visits aro limited to
the child ; he rarely accepts the oCer of sit
ting down with us ; aud it is the same when
you aro away "
"And this night ! for you to have walked
home with him in the moonlight, resting on
his arm j you nnd he, of oil people in the
world ! And I following on your steps later,
picturing what that walk hud been to you
both, in my jealous torment 1 Elizabeth, 1
was mad this night as I came along, if ever
mun was; and Jansou nitty be tbaukful thut
1 did not meet him, for I should bavu sprung
upon bim and beuten him to death."
''For shame! for shame ! again I say it,"
i-lio uttered, iudignution rendering hor speech
linn. "1 have never forgotten, by word or
look, my own self-respect, since this, our sec
ond meeting with Mr. Janson; nor has be.
I have bc-eu to bim your wile, my children's
mother, culm in my conscious dignity, and he
has been to me as to you, the plain family
attendant. lo you doubt me still? Will
you have me swear to it ? lean. Forsbnme,
.Mr. Yorke! 1 think you are mad. l.el us
leave the place if your madness is to contin
ue, una go where we can have other medical
udvico."
Was Mr. Yorko mad? He was certainly
unhinged. He fell into a storm of sobs and
tears, aud clasping his wife to bim, reiterated
uow passiouatulv he oved ber.
Mr. Yorke was ularmed : she bad never
seen Imil like this. Hesentuient for his
roundless suspicions would have nrumnted
her to turn scorufully from him, but she did
not dare; so she only repeated, in as concil
iatory a toue as she could bring her anirrv
J to allow, that she. h-il It ft linvnrt lit
thought conuected with Mr. Jooson. And
1 fpoko truth.
Ho seemed to believa hue ir v,.i.i
did believe her, and he put bis injurious sua-
(jiviuo. .nai irum uim; unu in the moru ne-
w ben i Mr. Janson paid bis visit to the child,
M r. Yorke spoke cordially to bim. and niw,i
him his band, a mark of favor be Lad n-r0.
condescended to, before.
Hut who can put awav at will the nan. nf
jealousy? There is not an earthly passion,
even iovo nueii, uui is more under control
Ere tho day wus over it returned in full force
to the unhappy Mr. Yorke, throwing its own
jaundice over hit sight aud bearing. The
inosi innocent movement or nit wire or Mr.
Janson, wore to him but oue interpretation
the common courtesy or nand sualciug would
excite bim, almost past repression. He said
nothing more to bis wife : he watched : aud
though be taw no tangible thing, that even
jealousy could take hold of, be was only the
more enraged, and repeats. to himself tbat
they weie playing their part" to deceive and
blind him. Il lie reader bat ever felt tbe
dreadful passion of jealousy in (ta extreme
lorce, lie will understand -ana recognize. .Mr,
Yorka't self torments, bet if be bat not, they
will appear absurdly improbable, or bordorlng
on iusanity ; let him bope tbat to bim they
may always appear to.
CHAPTER IV.
Tho child grew better; he was getting
well ; end Mr. Jnnson't visits were now paid
but oceasioDnlly. At length the day came
that ho took leave. Hit task was done, he
good bumoredly observed, for Master Leo
was upon hit legs again. Mrs. Yorko men
tioned this to ber bnsband in tbe evening, as
an itidiflerorjt topic of conversation, glad,
no doubt, for tbe take of peace, to be ablo to
do it.
"Left for good, bat be?" repeated Mr.
Yorke.
"Yes. I requested bim to tend in bit ac
count." This was on a Monday. The next day,
Tuesday, Mr. Yorke went ont for a whole
day's shooting, a thing be bad not yet done.
True, be had gone out ebooting several times,
sinco the season came in, but only by fits and
starts. Otit for en hour or two, and bock
home again; out again for another hour and
back ngnin: Mrs. Yorke understood It all,
and thoroughly despised bim in her indignant
heart. But on Tuesday hn went out in tho
morning, aud came borne at night just in timo
for dinner. JJo was in good spirits, talked
plcasuntly wiih bis wil'o and played with
Leopold. Wednesday was spent in precisely
the same way, and on Thursday be also went
out with bis gnn, as soon as breakfust was
over. On thi day, a Miss Ilardisty, a friend
of Mrs. Yorke's, arrived on a visit, somewhat
unexpectedly, for they bad not looked for her
for a day or two.
The afternoon of Thursday turned out
wretchedly. It did not rain, but a dense fog,
or sort of Scotch mist, overhung iho atmos
phere. Twilight set iu, and M rs. Yorke stir
red her good fire into a roaring blaze, and
thought how fond men must be of pheastuit
fhool.ng to stay out in such a day. Her
guest, fatigued wilh ber railway journey, was
in her chamber, lying down, and hud request
ed not to be called till tea-time.
"Oh, here he is," cried Mrs. Yorke, ns an
indistinct form passed the window. "I won
der how many be has bagged : wu min-l send
oil' some tnoro sopplies to our friends, or it
will bo something like 'tnujours pedrix.' lie
will be surprised to bear thut Olivia is
como."
"Mr. Janson," said a servant, opening tbe
door.
Mr. Janson entered. And as lie took his
seat, inquired alter Leopold.
"He remains quite well," replied Mrs.
Yorke. "1 thought I understood you, last
Monday, that you should not come to bim
ogain," she added, feeling tincomlortublo lest
her husband should como homo und find hi in
there after her having stated that bis at
tendance hud ceased.
"This is not a professional visit," laughed
Mr. Junson. "I bavo been to see Lady
ltich, and thought I would call iu bb 1 passed
your bouso to say how d'ye do, aud heur lhat
Leopold wus nil right."
"Thank you," answered Mrs. Yorke, in a
rather constrained manner ; for when lealons
suspicions, entirely unfounded, are enterlainod
by a husband, they must and do make the
monitors of the beet of women constraiued
and embarrassed.
Mr. Janson drew bis chair neor to Mrs.
Yorke's ; not to be nearer her, hut to enjoy
tho genial blaze of tho fre. Unfortunately
bo hud no idea of Mr. Yorke's fears : bo only
thought bim an abrupt, .haughty, uncertain
man, different from what he used lo be. Mrs.
Yorke rose to ring the bell.
You shall see Leopold," sbo said.
"Not yet; let me speuk a word to vou ;
pray sit clown ngaiu," suid Mr. Janson, inter
rupting ber movement. 'I want to coubult
some one, and 1 have as you must know a
very high opinion of your discernment aud
good tense, so 1 wish to ask your advice t I
thull value il more than that of any one else.
You know Miss Maskell."
"Yes. I have seen much of ber sin:o we
came here," replied Mrs. Yorke.
"Do you believe she would make a good
wife?"
"I think bar a very nmiaM nice gn-1.
Yes, I am sure sbo would. Who wants to
marry ber?"
"1 don't know yet whether any one does,"
he smiled. "But people tell me I must
marry, or lose my practice, for my patients
say they will have a fumily man to attend
tliem, not a bachelor. So 1 have been look
ing round about hip, and beg;ri to thiuk fLut
Aliss MaKkuil would be suitable."
Mrs. Yorke luuched. "Oh. Mr. Janson!
How coolly you speak; as coolly as you
might i( you wero only going to take on a
new surgery boy. I liese allairs should always
be cased round with romance."
lie shook bis beod. "Romance died out.
for me years ago." Foi ooe moment their
eyes met; perhops unwittingly; aud then
both looked ueteiminedly nt the lire oguin.
"l UK6 l.ucy MosUcll much," he resumed :
"so far as liking goes. I believe she would
make me a good wife.
"le, indeed, I do truly think it, Mr. Jan
son. And 1 earnestly bone yon Mil be linn.
py. Believe me you shall both have my best
prayers and wishes for it," was Mrs. Yorke's
answer, bhe was pleasod that Mr. Janson
was going to be happy at aat, for bhe knew.
thut she bad once tried bis heart Beverelv.
In the canicf tnet-s of ber content,' she rut
her hand into bis as she spoke put it as a
single-hearted, honest woman would. And
Mr. Juuson clasoedl. and leaned over to-
wurds her, and tliatiked bur kindly.
What dark shadow was tbat outside of the
window, with its face pressed against the
pane? a face whoso expression, just then,
wus us the lace or a demon, whose eyes glared
and whose teeth glistened. They suw it not,
but as their bunds met, and Mr. Janson
lenned nearer to his companion, a noise, half
savage growl, half hritU of defiance escaped
it. They heard that.
"W'hut't that sound ?" uttered Mrs Y orke,
turning towards the window. Nothing was
there then.
"Somebody passing in the road, suggested
Mr. Junson; "but it teemed vory near. A
night-bird, probably. Shall I tee Leopold
now ?"
Mrs. Yorko oncned the roem door and
called to tbe child, who came runuing in. Iu
two minutes Mr. Jansoa bad left.
Mrs. Yorke kept Leopold with her, and
the time passed more swiftly than she thought.
By and by. one of the aervaott came in to
Ituow if bo should serve dinner.
"Why, what time it it?" inquired bit mis
tress. 1
'."w" 10 mnch Psl ma'am."
'I had no idea it was to lute."
i r. ? lr'i"g five when Mr. Janton
left,' saul the man.
Mrs. Yorke chose to waitt bot when it
grew near seven, the ordered tba linr m h
,Bh tl'ought ber husband bud stop

or bad lost bit wav in iho fr. k...i. i,...i

"What tan he want there without a can
dle ?" she wondered. " Perhaps be thinks ho
can wash his bands iu tho dark, and would
not wait for one."
"Elizabeth," called out Mr. Yorko.
Sbo rose nnd went to the door. "Yes."
"Bring me op a light, will you. Bring it
yourseir."
"What tad now?" thonght Mrs. Yorke.
"take it up 1" But she lighted a chhmbcr
candle, and went up stairs with it. Her bus
baud was standing insido their bedroom door,
which was all but closed, and nothing to be
seen of him but bis ona hand stretched out
fur the light.
"Where have yon been so late? Did the
fog cause you to miss your way?"
He did jiot reply, only took tho light from
her. She pushed the door, wishing to enter,
bnt it resisted her efforts. "Let me come in,
she said ; "1 have some news for you. Olivia
Hurdisty's come."
Not a word or reply was vouchsafed to her.
Only the door banged to in ber face, aud tbe
key of it turned.
"He's sulky again," thought Mr3. Y"orto
"How fortunate be did not happen to come
homo while Mr. Janson was hero! Make
baste," she cotnlccended to call out. as sh'o
retreated, "I have bulf done dinner"
M r. Yorke soon came down, dressed. A
mark of attention given to Miss. Hordisty,
Mrs. Yorke supposed ; or if late, like that bo
would not have troubled to dress for her.
He scarcely spoke and did not eat, but bo
drank freely ; ntid he seemed to bavo been
drinking previously.
"1 asked you why you wero so late," said
Mrs. Yorke.
"Yon atnwered yourself," was his reply.
"that I lost my way. The fog was deuse."
"The fog seems to have taken away your
npetite, aud to have made you thirsty."
"The luncheon did both. Tho meat was
salt."
"Were did yon get luncheon?"
"At Squire llipgruve's.
"Have you had good sport ?''
"Middling. Who can shoot in a fog.
"Yon have brought no birds homo."
"I lefs them at Hipgrave's."
'I'liesunts, 1 suppose 1
'Yes. I wished you would not keep tip this
running f.re of questions. My beud oches."
Mrs Y'orke ceased and cat ber dinner. As
tho cloth was being removed her guest came
in. nnd ulso Leopold. Mr. Yorke was com
pelled to exert himself a littln then, but be
had partaken fur more freely of wine than
usual nnd Mrs. Yorke, was vexed, for sho be
lieved it must be apparent to M iss Hurdisty
"How well Leopold looks, considering bis
long illness !" cxclumed Miss Hurdisty.
"He is wonderful," returned Mrs. Yorke.
"You would not think, lo see him now, that
bo was so very ill.
"1'opu," cried Leopold, "Mr. Janson says
I am got well soon because i was good, aud
took the physic without crying."
"Ah !" suid Mr. Yorke, '"when did be soy
that."
"To-night, when bo was Lore with mamma,
and they culled me in."
M r. Y'orke turned his eyes npon Lis wife,
fixedly steadily. "Wus J unsoti hero to-night.
"Tlii3 afternoon, between lour und five.
It seemed like night, it was so dark," sbo an
swered, cquubly, but in spite of herself she
could not prevent a vivid flush rising to bcr
chee!;s."
"You told mo be had dono coming."
"As he bad. 1 remarked to bim that I had
understood bim to say so, and he replied that
be did not call to-day professirnal'.y, but just
dropped in as l.o wuj passing to income bow
I.eopolJ continued. Ho told me a little bit
of news, too about l.imelf," added M rs Yorke
to her husband, affecting to speak guyly,
which I will repeot to you by and by."
When the child's bedtime came, instead of
Flinch fetching him, it waa C'harllotte.
"Where's Flinch?" demanded Mrs. Yorke.
She's gono as fur as tho village, ma'am
She wanted to buy some ribbon at the shop."
'How could 'sho tbo 'so such a night as
this ?" returned Mrs. Y'orke. "How stupid
she must be ! she will lose her way."
"Oh no ma'am the fog is not as bad ns it
was. an hour or two ago, and she said she did
not cam lor fogs. Slio won't be long."
"Chatlolte went off with Leopold and Miss
Hardis-ty smiled. "Servants are sadly wan
ting in common sense, most of them."
"1 svpposo Finch had previously fixed on
to-night to go out, and of courso she could
not bear to diappoint iiersell, but must go,
log or no fog. It's just liko them."
Mr, Yorko !uid buck in bis easy chair and
seemed to sleep, and his wife apologised to
Mist Hunlesty thut be had a Lard day's
shooting, aud wns "done up."
About nino o'clock Finch came bursting
into the room, bcr things on, ns she bad en
tered the bouse, and punting for breath,
"Oh ma'am, 1 don't know how I've got
home ! Fvo run every f (ep of the way, fright
ened out of my life. There has been such an
av. ful murder !''
"Where " asked Mr. Yorke.
"Close here in the village, r one thieves
set upon a fanner' son coming bnmo from
market, and shot him, and pulled him olT bis
horsn, and then beat l.im about the I cad till
ho died, and then rilled bis pockets of bis
watch und money, and then left bim in a pool
of blood," replied Finch, all in a breath.
Ho was found about live o'clock, and tho vil
lage has been up in arms ever since ; every
body' out of their bouses."
Mr. Y'orke sat bolt upright in kit chair.
His eyes glittered upon Finch.
"A pretty tale," suid be, to hi wife and
Miss HurdiHty, Finch tlew off to impsit the
news in the kitchen. "This is how stories
pet exaggerated. There was no horse in tho
uQ'uir, uud no robbery, nnd it was not a
farmer's son going home from market."
"You have beard or it then r exclameu
Miss Hurdcstv.-
''cs, was Mr. Yoike't reply.
"And never to have told us 1" remonstrat
ed his wifo, "You say it was not a farmer's
son. Do you know who it is?"
Junson. Murdered in his own garden as
bo was going in. Juat insido the door."

THE STAR SPANGLED BAHHER.
BY FRANl'IS S. KKY.
0 I say can yon see by the dawn's early light.
What so proudly we buil'd at tho twilight's
last gleaming.
Whose broad stripes nnd bright stars through
the perilous fight,
O'er the rcmpurt wo watched were so gal
lantly streaming?
And the rockets ted glare, tho bombs burst
ing in the air
Gavo proof through the night Unit our flag
was still there,
O ! say, does that slur spangled banner yet
wave.
O'er tho land of the free and tho Lome of
the Bravo ?
Ou the shore, dimly seen through Iho mist of
the deep,
Whcro tho foe's hanghly Lost in dead si
lence reposes ;
What is that w hich the brcezo o'er tho tow
ering step
As il fitfully blows, half concealed, half dis.
closes?
Now it catches the g'.oam of the morning's
first beam
In full glory rellectcd now shines on tho
stream ;
'Tis the stur-spangled banner, O 1 long
may it wave,
O'er the lung of tho free and tho homo of
tho brave.
Aud where is that band who so vatintingly
swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's con
fusion A Lome and a countiy should leave us no
more t
Their blood has washed out their fonl foot
steps pollution,
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of fight, or the gloom of tho
grave ;
And tho star-spangled
banner in triumph
doth, wave.
O'er tho land of the free and tbo borne of
brave.
O '. thus bo it ever when freemen shall
stand
Between their loved Lome und the wars do
solution, Bless'd with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued
land,
I'ruito the power that hath made and pre
served us a nation !
Then conquer we tuuit, wheu our causo it i3
just,
And this Im our motto: 'In God is our
trust 1'
And thu star.spangled banner in triumph
shall wave,
O'er tho land of the free aud Iho homo of
the brave.

Of horrid war ; or guides, with rose,
The happier times of honest peace.

Once more to servo his country stands
The rock on which tho storm will beut :
Tho rock ou which the storm will beut :
But urm'd iu virtue, firm and true,
His hopes are fix'd on heaven and yon.
Wheu bope was sinking in dismay,
And glooms obscured Columbia' day,
His steady mind Irom chunges free,
Ilesolved on death or liberty.
Firm united let us be.
Rallying rouud our liberty ;
Asa buud of brotheis joiu'd,
l'taco aud safely we shall find.
DECLARATION OP
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1T7G ;
The unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen
United Stales of America,
When, in Ibe courso of human events, it
becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
ilia political bonds wiucu lmve connected
them wilh another, and to ossutno among the
powers ol the earth the separate und equul
station to which the laws of nature and of na
ture's God eu title them, a decent resnoet to
the opinions or mankind requires thut they
should declare the cau.es which impel them
to the separation. .
We hold these troths lo be self evident.
(but all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their creator with certain unnli-
enable rights that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That
to secure these rights, governments are iueti
tuted among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed t that when
ever any form of government becomes de
ftructive of these ends, it it tbe right of tho
people to alter or abolish it, and to inalitu
a new government, laying itt fouudatiou on
such principles, and organising itt powers in
sucb form, at to tberu shall teem most likely
lo tiled their surety and happiness. Pru
dence, indeed, will dictato, tbat government
Ions established should out be changed for
light and transient causes j and, accordingly,
all experience batb tbowa, tbat mankind
aro more disposed to antler while evils are
s.ifferub'io, thun to right themselves by abol
ishing the forms to which they are accustom
ed. But when a lung train of abuses nnd
usurpations, pursuing invariably tho same
object, evinces a design to reduce them nnder
atuoltito despotism, it is their duty to throw
oir such government, and to provide new
guards for their future security. Such bos
been tho patient stilTerance of these Colonies;
nnd snch is now the necessity which con
strains them to alter tho former system of
government. The history of tho present
king of Great Britain, ia a history of repented
injuries nnd usurpations, all having in direct
object, the establishment of an absolute ty
ranny over these states. To provn this, let
facts be submitted to a candid world :
Ho has refused bis to assent laws the most
w holesome and necessury for the public good.
He has forbidden bis governors to pass
laws of immediate and pressing importance,
unless suspended in their operation, till his
ascent should bo obtained ; and when so sus
pended, be has utterly neglected to attend to
them. He bin refused to pass other laws for
tho accommodation of large, districts of peoplo
unless theso ppoplo would relinquish ihe
right of representation in tiio legislature a
right inestimable to them and formidable lo
tyrants only.
llo has called together legislative bodies
nt places unusual, uncomfortable, ntid distant
from tho repository of their public records,
for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into a
compliance with his measures.
He hus dissolved representative houses re
peatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness,
his invasions on tho rights of the people.
Ilo has refused, for a long timo alter such
dissolutions, to causo others to bo elected ;
whereby the legislativo powers, incapablo of
annihilation, b.ive relumed to the people at
largo for their exerciec. the stulo remaining
in t lie meantime exposed to nil tho dangers
of invasion from wiliiiu und convulsions with
in. Ho hif endeavored to prevent tho popula-
lion of there states ; for lhat purpose ob-
j structing tho laws Tor naturalization of for-
I ligners ; refusing to pa others to encourage
their migration Lither, and nisitig the con-
! ditions of new appropriations of land.
I Ho has obstitii-led tho administration oT
! justice, by refusing his assent to laws for cs-
i lublishing judiciary powers.
j He has made judges dependent on his will
I alone, for tho tenure of their offices and the
I amount and payment of their salaries.
He haa erected a multitude of officers, and
I sent hither swarms of officeis, to harrass our
people, und eat out their substar.ee.
llo has kept among us in times of peaco
standing armies, without the cnscut of our
legislatures.
Jlo has allectcd to render the military inne
pendendent of, and superior to, the civil pow
or. Ho has combined with others to subject ns
to a jurisdiction foreign t' our constitution,
und unacknowledged by our luws ; giving tt i s
iiisetit to their acts of pretended legislation :
For qurtcrin lare bodies of armed troops
among us :
For protecting them, ly a mock trial, from
punishment, for any murders which they
should commit on the inhabitants of thebu
states :
For cutting oil our trade wilh all parts of
the world :
For imposing taxes on us v.ithcut onr con
sent :
For depriving us, in r.:ony cases, of the ben-
slit of trial by jury :
For transporting ns beyond 6oa?, to be
tried for pretended oD'enct'3 :
For abolishing Iho freo system of English
laws in a neighboring province, establishing
therein an nrbitary government, nnd enlarg
ing its boundaries so as to render it at once
an example ntid ft instrument for introdu
cing the same absolute rule iuto these colo
nies :
For taking away onr charters, abolishing
our roost valuable laws, and altering funda
mentally, the forms of our government :
For suspending our own legislatures anil
decluring themselves invested with power
to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever:
Ho has abdicated government here, by do
daring ns out of his protection, and waging
war against ns.
Ho has plundered our sens, ravaged onr
coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the
lives of our people.
Ho is at this time transporting large ar
mies of foreigu mercenaries, to complete tho
work of death, desolation and tyrunuy alrea
dy begun, with circumstances of cruelty and
perfidy, scurcely paralleled in tho most bar
barous, ages, and totally unworthy the head
of a civilised nation.
He has coostraiuod our fellow citizens, ta
ken coptlve on tho high seas, to bear arms
against their country, to become the execu
tioners (.f their frieuds und bretheru, or to fall
themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic, insurrections
against us, and but endeavored to biing on
the inhabitants of our froutieis, the merciless
Indian savages, whose known rulo of warfare
is an undistinguished debtruction or all ugce,
sexes and conditions.
In every stage of theso oppression we Lave
petitioned' for redress in the most bumble
terrus ; only by repeated injury.
A prince, whose chnructer in iLus marked
by every act which may define a tyrant, is
unDt to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have wo been wanting in attention lo
our British brethern. We have warned them
from timo to timo or attempts by their logU.
ature lo extend an unwarranlublo jnrisd.c
tion over us. Wo lmve reminded ihetn of
tho circustances ot our emigrulion und set
tlement here. We buve appealed to their
native justice and magnanimity und wo have
conjured them, by the ties of our common
kindred to disavow these usurpation?, which
would inevitably interrupt our connections
and correspondence. They too have been
deaf to tho voice of justice und of consanguin
ity. We must theiefote acquiesce in the ne
cessity which denounces our separation, und
bold them, us we hold tbo rest of uiunkiud,
eneiiiii s in icarin peace, f irm!.
We, therefore, the representatives of the
United Stoles of America in general con
gress assembled appealing to the supreme
Judge ot the world, for tho rectitude of our
intentions, do in tho name and by ll.e au
thority or the good people of these United
Colonic! are, and of right ought to be, free
and independent slates ; that they are ab
solved from ull allegiance to the British crown
aud that all political connexion between them
and tbe state of Great Britain, is, and ought
to be, totally dissolved i and that OS free
aud independent states, they have full power
to levy war, conclude peace, contract uilian
ce, establish commerce, and to do all other
act! and things whicli imiepc ineni fiu
may of right do. And Tor the support cflhis
declaration, with a firm reliance on tba pro
tection of Divine l'rovidence, we mutually
pledge to each other ot' mm, ot a rwrvris

Bad Grammar-
If there is anything in tho world that lit
painful aud disgusting, it is to heur a lady (!)
in honiton and diamonds, transgressing Iha
tules of Murray and Brown, with every third
sentence sbo utters.
There is no excuse eitlcr for such women
it is tho duty of every lady in this nine
teenth century to bu able to speak, spell and
irrii'c! correctly, and if our social edicts wero
mere stringent on theso points, and less so in
tho matters of dreg., we 6hould havo muny
more refined, cultivated women, than society
is at present blessed with. Not that we wuut
our women metamorphosed into "blues," or
that it M necessary tiiey should be versed in
tiio dead languages, ut.d discourse very learn
edly on geology, or trigonometry; and wo
man looks quite as attractive kneading bis
cait at ber kitchen table as she dots in a
cqeiiiical laboratory. Tact and good common
sense ore quite os Valuable, in tho practicnl
needs of lile us a ' finished education, " and a
truo loving heart will make a better wife aud
mother than a highly stimulated brain.
But an ignorant, vuhjar woman is a dis
graco to herself, particularly when the affect!
to be a lady, nnd pass for wliut she is not,
which is usually attained most aQ'cctuul'y
through dress. maker! and milliners.
Wo must bo pardoned for oli'ering a word
of sincero advice to those pretty, graceful wo
men oue meets everywhere, and admires un
til they open their months to speak. Devote
a little loss time to your flounces and French
flowers, aud do buy u gramn.ar, and study it.
Arthur's Mnnai:e.
From Dr. Bcccbcr's Lifo Thoughts.
Thero aro more professing Christains
who are secretly vexed on account of the cha
rity they have to bestow, and the self-denial
they have to use. If, instead of tho smooth
prayers which tbey do pray, ihey would speak
out tho thing which they really feel, they
would rny, when they go home nt night, "O
Lord, I met a poor wretch of yours to day, a
miserable, unwashed brat, and 1 gave him six
pence, aud I havo been sorry for it ever sinco
or O Lord, if 1 had not sigued those articles,
of faith, 1 might have goue to the tLeatre thi)
eveuing. Y'oiir religion deprives me of a
great deal of enjoyment, but I menn to Ftick
toil. There's no other wuy of getting into
Heawn, I suppose." Tha sooner such men
are cut of tbo church the better.
To Destroy Ants. In somo gardens tho
ants become intolerable pests, and almost
every kiud of remedy has been resorted to
witdoutefiectiog their entire disludginctit.
They are sometimes very distrtictive to n
garden and especially to flower borders. Wa
saw a new remedy published, Rome days ago,
which we havo mislaid ; but it is, simply, to
dig out a portiun of the ground infested by
them, build a fire in the exenvution and nllow
it to burn for some time. It is said to drivo
them away effectually. If this shall prove to
do so, we aro suro to be heartily thanked hy
many for printing it. Uermat.town Tele

since a citizen of Boston died nt tho age of
seventy eight. He has been twico married,
and was tho father of six children. For tha
past fifteen years bo has been a w idower, and
during that time one of his daughters has
been his housekeeper, nnd for the sako of min
istering to bis wants, has refused several ad
vantnirieus offers. Two days before his
death l.o informed Lis daughter that he had
concluded to marry again, the person being
younger than herself, nnd that the condition
of her marriage was tin bindins: over of bis
his properly to lilt wifo at death. In tho
forenoon of the day after bo was married.-
After dinner he lay down upon a sola in bis
