Every thing went off charm ingly tlio dinner was excellent the wino was delicious tho music was soul-stirring, and tho toasts patriotic. After (ho Declara Hon of independence was read, Mr. JJ rose and addressed the meeting, in a strain ot cloquenco which called lorth heartlelt and rapluroti3 bursts of applause. Ho dwelt na theucally on tno hardships and privations ot that little band of heroes who fought and bled by the side of our beloved Washington, through all the memorable struggle, winch ended in tho glorious achievement of our liberties. In tho midst ot his discourse, he turned round to the old veterans, whose moistened eyes showed how well the chord that awoke in their recollections the thrill itiff deeds of by-gone days, had been touch ed, he suddenly questioned a silver-haired septuagenarian "What battles, my old inend, have you fought ml wont you tell usr "I crossed tho Brandy wine with Wash ington founht at Yorktown and saw the surrender of Lord Cornwallis." "And you," continued the Orator. "I was at Saratoga; and, I tell voti, it done our hearts good to sco the red-coats march by us with furled banners and revers ed arms fine looking fellows tfiey were too." "I was with General Green, through all his Southern campaign, and 1 fought with luin m every battle." "And vou, whero were your laurels won!" "On tho sea," answered tho weather- beaten old tar. "I was with Barry, when ho taught tho proud Britons that we were as invmciblo on tlio ocean as on tho land." Tho cheering was tremendous. The orator wont on. "And vou telLus where your honored garland wcro earned? speak, old father, upon what field of blood did you behold vie lorv perched upon our Hag! 1 "Vy, by Jo, I was at Trenton." " "Under Washington, gallant soldier, un- 'der Washington." "U, ya; 1 vash oonder Vashinglon, als von vo soorrendcrs" "surrendered! what do you mean my old heiol .surrendered!"

Tho poet's pago has a new magic ; we com prehend oil that had before seemed graceful exaggeration, wo now find that poetry falls short of what it seeks, to express and we take anew delight in tho musical language that seems made for tenderness.

Wilson, of New York, entitled his sys tem perfect ; but instead of being perfect, it contains many erroneous principles, which the subscribers forbear to point ont until that gentleman assails this assertion. All such sybtcms havo heretofore been (Infective in two ways : First, they are only in part self-varying. Secondly, those parls which are intended to bo self-varying aro defective. In fact, there are certain points on the coat .which cannot bo elfcrtcd by self-varying principles m any other way, nor by any other means, than those laid down by tho 1.1 M ' suuscriocrs. Unlike any other of tho kind, litis sy (em now offered to the trade is conducted without any breast measure, and effects cv orv point and every part of the coat by self- varying principles, in a way calculated to convict tho senses ol any reasonablo man, that should it ever fail to produco a good fit upon any shape w.hatever, tho charge must bo laid to a careless and incorrect measure ment. It may seem mysterious that this rule is said to bo self-varying, and yet a squaro rule a square rule and yet conduct' cd without a breast measure ; but tho whole mystery will be unfolded at once by oxam inatlon.
