JMisciaAy ko'u g' items. The annexed articles came under1 our notice in tho Boston Daily Advertiser. Wo think our readers will' yicruso them with the same interest and gratification that wc have lionet Tho Frst Celebration of Independence In Ilostun. ' The two following descriptions of the colob ration of tho Declaration of Arhcncan Independence by the citiztins of Boston, a few days after the intelligence was received from Philadelphia, will he read with inter est. The first is a narrative published 'at the time in one of tho papers- of the day, tho other is the narrative of a British "offi cer, then "prisoner fin parole, who was an invited guest. Tho tone in which he speaks of the proceedings, and of the treat ment of himself and fellow prisoners, is well deserving' of remark. From tho NcwEngland Chronicle, ofJiily25, 1770. Thursday last, pursuant to the Order of the honorable Council, was proclaimed from the Balcony of the State House in this Town, the DECLARATION of' the A MERICAN CONGRESS, absolving the United Colonics- from their Allegiance to the British Crown, and declaring them free and INDEPENDENT STATES. There was present on the occasion, in the Coun cil Chamber, 'thc'Comriiitlce 6f Council, a "number of the Honorable House of Repre sentatives, the 'Magistrates, Ministers, Se lectmen, and other Gentlemen of Boston and the ncighboring Towns; also the com missioned officers of the Continental Regi ments stationed here, and other' Officers. Two of those Regiments were under Arms & formed into three Lines on theNorthside of tho street, and in tho thirteen Divisions; and a Detachment from the Massachusetts "Regiment of Artillery, with two Pieces of ' Cannon was von their Right Wing." At one o'clock tho Declaration was proclaimed by Col. Thomas Crafts, which was received 'with great Joy, expressed by three Huzzas from a great concourse of people assembled on the occasion. Aftcr Vliich, on a signal given, Thirteen Pieces of Cannon were fiied from tho Fort on 'Fort-Hill ; the Forts at Dorchester Neck, the Castle, Nrintasket, and Point Alderton, likewise discharged their Cannon. Then the Detachment of Artillery fired their Cannon Thirteen Times which was followed by the two Regiments giving their Fire from the Thirteen Divi sions in succession. These Firings corres ponded to the number of the American States United. The Ceremony was closed with a proper Collation to the gentlemen in the Council Chamber; during which the following Toast3 were given by the Prcsi 'dent of the Council, and heartily pledged by the Company, viz: Prosperity and perpetuity to the United States of America. Tho American Congress. The General Court of the Stafc of Mas sachusetts Bay. Gen. Washington, and success to the Arms of the U. States, Tho Universal Prevalence of Civil and Religious Liberty. Tho downfall of Tyrants and Tyranny. The friends of the U. States in all Quar ters of the Globe. The Bells in Town were rung on the 'occasion; and undiss'embled 'Festivity cheer ed and brightened every face, On the same evening the King's Arms, and every sign with any resemblance of it, whether Lion and Crown, Pestle and Mortar and Crown, Heart and Crown, &c. together with every sign that belonged to a Tory, was taken down, and the latter made a general Conflagration in King (now State) street. Napoleon and the Twelve Apostles. The 'Cabinet de Lecture1 gives the follow ing anecdote of Napoleon! Having eh tcred one of the cities of Italy, the church wardens recommended him to tho rclirjucs of their church-. "Sire, will you deign to tal c our apostles Under your protection?" "Your apostles I aro they of wood?" "No aire." "Of what aro they, then?" "Of silver, sire." "Of solid silvor?" replied Napoleon quickly "; "yes, I shall help them to fulfil their misioli; it has been ordained that they shouhrgo throughout the world and they shall." Having said so.'theEin peror sent tho twelve apostlos to the mint it Paiijfi f)tJ Backcloi's like the Thorn Hedaa neither blossom nor fruit rciidor them use BEAUTIFUL PASSAGE. "Life bears us on like tho current of a mighty river. " Our boaVsl firsl glides down the narrow channel, through the ptnyful murinurings of tho little brooks and the windings of its grassy borders. The trees shed thefr young blossoms over our young heads; the flowers on tho brink seem to offer themselves to otir young "hands; wo are happy in hope, "and wc gra3p eagerly at tho beauties around us; but the stream hurries us on and still our hands are cnlpty. Our course in manhood is along a wider and deeper flood, and amid objects more striking and magnificent. Wc arc animated by tho moving picture of enjoyment and ndustry which passes before us, wo are cx cited by some short-lived disappointment. But our energy and dependence arc both in ain. The stream bears us onj oitr griefs and joys aro alike Ictt bclunu us; wc may ue shipwrecked, but wc cannot be delayed; whether rough or smooth, the river hastens toward its home, till the roaring of the cean is in our ears, and the tossing of its waves is tieneatn our kcci, anu tne lanus lessen from our eyes, and the floods are fted up around us, and the earth losses sidit of us. and we take our last leave of earth and its inhabitants, and of our future oyages there is no witness but the Infinite and Eternal." SELECTED PARAGRAPHS. Meeting -and Parting. Men's feelings are always purest and most glowing in the hour of meeting and farewell: like the 'gla ciers which are transparent and rosy hued only at sunrise and sun set, but throughout the day "grave and cold. Sdrrotos. A small sorrow distracts, great one makes us collected, as a bell loses its tone when slightly 'cracked, and r'ecov- crs if the fissure is enlarged. Every heavy burden of sorrow seems like a stone iuinjr, round the neck, yet are they only the stones used by 'pearl -divers, which enables them to reach the prize and rise encircled. Virtue and Fortitude. The sorrows of a noble mind are spring frosts, which pre cede tho summer; those of corrupted and contracted ones, are autumnal frosts which aro only followed by winter. fljfeclion. When men arrive at a cer tain station of greatness, their regards arc dissipated on too great a number of objects to feel parental affection; the tics of nature are only strong witu tnose wno nave out few dependents. Errors. For the first time the very best may err; art may pcrsuauc, aim novelty spread out its charm. The first fault is the child of simplicity; but every other the off- pring o'f guilt. The highest Pleasure. The conscious ness ot having actetl lrom principle anu without tho praise of tiny person whatever is a pleasure superior to all tnat pleasure can yield. Jin object of ambition. It may not bo in your power to excel many people in riches, honors or abilities: but you may excel thou sands in goodness of heart. Hither turn your ambition. Here is iin object worthy of it. A noble connucst. An ancrel incapable of feefinor anirer, must envy the man who can feel and yet conquer it. OFFICE OF THE DEMOCRAT, NnxT noon to Capt. D.
