THE ILO WEE OF LIBEETY.
What flower Ii this that greet the morn,
In hoes from Ilea ven so freely born I
With burning star and flaming band
It Kindles all the (unset land ;
0, tell us what iu name may be !
Is this the flower of Liberty ?
- It is the banner of the free.
The starrv flower of Liberty !
In savage nature's far abode
Its tender seed our father's sowed ;
The storm-winds rocked its swelling bud.
Its opening leaves were streaked with blood,
Till, lo ! earth' tyrants ouk to see
The full blown flower uf Liberty !
Then hail the banner of the free,
The etury flower of Liberty !
Behold its streaming raj! nnite
One mingling flood of braided light.
The red that fires the Southern rose,
With spotless white from Northern snows,
And. spangled o'er its aiure, see
The sister .Star of Liberty !
Then bail the banner of the free,
The starry flower of Liberty !
The blades of heroes fence it round.
Where'er it springs is holy ground ;
From tower and dume its glories spread,
It waves where lonely sentries tread;
And plants an empire on the era,
As TaLqnubed foes before it flee !
Then hail the banner of the free,
The starry flower of Liberty !
The sacred leaves, fair Freedom's flower,
(hall ever float on dome and tower;
To all their heavenly colors true,
In blackening frost or crimson dew ;
And God loves ns as we love thee,
Thrice holy flower of Liberty!
Then hail the bannerol the free;
The starry flower ef Liberty !
THE WIDOW'S VISIT.
We had been quarreling, tuv husband and
I, nearly all the eveuing. For the last half
Lour, however, there had been a lull, for I
had been busy putting the children to bed,
and attending to some matters in the kitch
en that my servant girl had overlooked.
It was about ten o'clock when I had finish
ed my round of duties, and sat down again
beside my husband, fully expecting he
would renew our unhappy discussion ; but
to my great relief, just as he had comiiren
ed, some one gave our door-bell a hearty
ring.
"It must bo some poor disracted thing,"
thought I, "to be ringing this stormy night
for admittance, and so late, too," so I
sprung quickly to the door, and as I opened
it, the storm came pelting into my face in a
way which threatened to blind me.
"Con e iu," I said to the lady who stood
on the steps. "I thiuk you must be nearly
frozen."
"I am very co!d," entering, and running
op to my husband, who sat by the fire; then
flooding her hand, she said, "I suppose
you dj not recognize me ?"
"Yes, it is Miss Boynton."
"Mrs. La Farge now ; I have been Hur
ried and widowed since you saw me last."
"Indeed ! well, Mrs. La Farge, let me
male you acquainted with my wife," said
uiy husband, looking as pleasant as though
he was incapable of looking otherwise.
Ihe widow then turued to me and began to
uuke apologies for thus intruding upon us
at this unseasonable hour.
"No intrusion at all," answered my hu
Und; "but instead, a pleasant surprise ; I
anure you we are happy to entertain you." j
The pretty lady burst into tears. j
"I am glad," she cried, "if any one is
flaj to see me. Since my husband died, I
nave had a pretty hard life of it. Withovt
home, I have wandered from place to
piaee, scarce knowing one day where the
next would find inc. I have one brother,
ail the rest of my near relatives are dead ;
tut he is the least kind to me of any one,
and I do not intend to trouble him any
more. J have an anual stipend of sixty
dollars, this is far batter than i othing, but
i" by no means enough to support me.
My health is soapreca ioua I cannot success
iully engage in any kind of bu.-iness, so I
uow not what will become of me."
"Do not despair, my dear woman, you
-re young, and I hope better days are in
in store for you." I said this in as kind a
tone as possible, and my husband quite as
kindly added. "You can stay with us as long
as you like, if that will be any help to you.
"Thank you, thank you," she replied, "I
m sure it must be a little paradise here, if
it is anywhers. When I first entered your
cozy room to-night, and saw you looking so
comfortable and happy, it made me feel
the more lonely and miserable, and I wished
t that instant that I could fall dead upon
Jour floor, and this be relieved of my un
hsPPy existence."
I looked at my husband, and he at me.
"id we been, and were we happy? Oh.
now that poor woman was deceived ! If
'he, in her unprotected state, was les; hap
Py than I, I pitied her. Still I would not
u leceive her. Appearances were against
Bie; my home was comfortable 'and pleas
nt, and if love had o-dy embellished it, it
o'sht, indeed, have been a little paradise;
but we had ceased to love each other, he
I, and only for our children, we should
hve separated long before. For the sake
t these three sweet-faced darlings we live
together nill, though quarrels are frequent
tetwon us. I thought I tried to do the
ten I could, hut perhaps I was not an im
Prt'jl judge of my own conduct; he owned
,flat he was exact inir and imnatient. At all
events, we were both sure we could be hap- j
Per apart '
.After the widow retired, leaving me alone !
ith my husband, we were at a loss to know j
" T'oact, or what to say to each other.
" this woman is really so lonely and un
bred for in consequence of losing her hus
nd." thought I, "whv would not I he, if
Hmilarly situated? I hfve no friends or
relations who care anything for me "any
P,0r than she has. and rov husband should
" in all tr. m " T cut hoaUa him
rminf my feet at the grate, while indul
ging in this train of thought, lie was
smokinsr and looking carelessly into the fire.
but as I looked up at him, I thought I dis
covered a more tender expression on his
lace than I had for months. "The widow's
story," thought I, "has evidently touched
his feelings, and now after I had reason to
suppose there was some tenderness left in
his nature after all his unkindness to me, I
resolved to coax still more!of it to the sur
face. Men in general have a great horror
of woman s tears, this 1 knew to be the
case with niy husband, and in all our bitter
quarrels they would have defended me far
better than harsh words, but I was generally
too obdurate to resort to such a means ;
now, however, I felt sufficiently subdued to
indulge in a copious shower of them. So,
without a word being spoken I began to sob
in a manner that at once attracted the at
tention of my husband.
"What is the matter?" he asked, draw
ing his chair closer to mine.
"I am thinking," I said, sobbing a little
louder, "how very, very " I could say no
more, from the choking sensation in my
throat.
"Thinking how very what?" he asked,
looking tenderly into my face,
"I am thinking how lonely I should be
if"
"If your husband was dead, like the
poor widow's who has come to stay with us
to-nieht is that it, dear?"
"Yes," and I cried harder, and my hus
band drew me still nearer to him.
"Well, Agnes, your husbarjd is not dead,
and he will try to treat you better than he
has in times past, for he loves you still."
"Loves me!" I cried in a paroxysm of joy,
"oh, Landon ! is it possible, after all that
has passed between us? oh, you do uot,
cannot love me."
"But I do, Aenes. Andjou?' Be ask
ed, looking fondly into my eyes.
"'I love you now," I said, "but I supposed
only a few moments ago I did net; oh, we
have been so very cruel to each other, Lan
don ; but in the future I will try and do even-thing
that I can to make 3'ou happ3."
'And I will do the same by you, Agnes,"
This promise was sufficient, and in a mea
sure carried into effect. We sometimes
had our little broils afterwards, but lived
more happily than we had previous to the
widow's visit. She remained some weeks,
but I never told her of the change her pres
ence had wrought in our household.
tt appears that the good people of St.
Petersburg were rather loth to 6ee their
Sovereign depart from their capital without
being accompanied, as be has always been
for the past eigl t or ten years, by an ini
mens e dog called "xMylord." The dog was
one of the imperial suit last year, when the
Czar came to Nice to see his son die, and
was much talked of for his attachment to
his master, whom he never left a moment,
sleeping always On a rug by his bedside.
Only a few days alter the Czar's departure
Mylord was taken ill and died. The news
was telegraphed to Paris, but not com
municated to the Cfar. The young Gr;nd
Dukes concluded that it was best that he
should not be told of it as they were sure it
would greatly mar the" pleasure of the visit.
The death of a dog is regarded as a bad
omen in Russia, and the attempt on the life
of the Emperor will confirm the supersti
tion. The Tennessee papers fell a funny story
of the exploits of a negro who, a short time
since found a bag of gold in a hollow log.
He converted his gold into five-twenties,
and had over $4,000. He went to New
Orleans, workec in a barber n-hop, studied
evenings, acquired a good knowledge of
English and French, and in March last
went to Europe as an attendant of an ex
Confederate General, and now turns up as
proprietor of a first class American restau
rant in the Paris Exposition.
A poor citizen of Berlin was recently left
some $50,000. Being very old and feeble,
he was puzzled as to whom he should leave
his money. Thinking none of his friends
worthy of it, he at last determined to leave
it to a bitter enemy, who had a large fami
ly and no money except his daily earnings.
He made his will to that effect ; he made a
condition, however, that the heir should al
ways wear thin white linen clothes, and no
extra under-clothing. Should that condi
tion be violated even once the money goes
to executors. (
St Louis has had a romantic wedding.
A beautiful young lady was courted and
won by a gen tk man of standing and wealth.
A wedding was arranged and the happy in
tended bride was promptly at the church,
but her lover failed to put in an appearance,
having "backed out" of his part of the
programme. The lady was in perplexity,
when a young mechanic stepped forward
and offered to marry her, was promptly ac
cepted, the ceremony which made them
man and wife was performed, and both left
the church as l.appy as might be expected.
Talk about mean men" said oldf Fry,
"why, there's that Bill Johnson, he's the
meanest man I ever hear tell on. Bill was
a constable here. Why don't you think he
had an execution on tne for a little matter of
groceries, and he came out and levied on
my old woman's ducks, and wanted me to
drive 'era up and catch 'era. But I told
him to catch 'em himself, and so he chased
'em round and round the house and every
time he'd catch a duck, he'd sit down and
wring its head off, and chane mileage."
The crown which the Empress of Aus
tria wore during the ceremony at Pesth
was m ade for M aria Theresa, but never used
by that princess. It is of silver, but so
studded with diamonds and pearls that the
metal is scarcely visible. One of the dia
monds is valued at 70,000 florins, and one
of the pearls at 9,000.
The Fourth at Kylertown.
S. J. Row, Esq. : Dear Sir: The 91st
Anniversary of our National Independence,
was celebrated at Kylertown with that spir
it which should ever actuate Americans.
The morning of that day was ushered in
by the beating of drums and the roar of
cannon. The spirit of '76 appeared to be
again rekindled in the minds and will of the
people of this end of Clearfield county. At
about 10 o'clock the large procession took
took up the line of march for a beautiful
Grove, selected for the occasion, near the
village of Kylertown. The procession num
bered from five to seven hundred, and was
headed by a band of music and the Chief
Marshal, James L. Stewart, and assistants
E. C. Brenner and Wm. Dougherty.
After partaking of a sumptuous repast,
1repared for the occasion, by the ladies of
vylertown and neighborhood, on the Pic
nic principle, and in which this large con
course of citizens participated, the cloth
was removed and the meeting organized by
the appointment of Capt James Hughes
as President, assisted by a number of Vice
Presidents and Secretaries.
Rev. W. O. Wright then offered up a
Prayer to the Throne of Grace, for the per
mission of this large concourse of people to
assemble together on this our great Natal
Day ; after which he delivered a feeling and
instructive address to the Sabbath School
children, who numbered over three hundred.
T. J. McCullough, Esq.. of Clearfield, then
read the Declaration of Independence, pre
ceded by a tew appropriate remarks, which
were listened to with marked attention.
After which the company were favored.for
an hour, by an eloquent and pertinent ad
dress by Joseph C. Brenrrerr Esq., of Mor
risdale, who dwelt in part on the scenes of
of the Revolution and the causes which led
thereto. In speaking of the flourishing
condition of the country he said that when
the Declaration, just read in our hearing,
was adopted amid the plaudits of the multi
tude, the place upon which we then stood
was a wild and unproductive forest, but,
said he, the influence of our free institu
tions has shorn the stately oak of his leafy
honors, and prostrated his lofty trunk be
neath the axe of the improver. He closed
his able address by an eloquent apeal to
the citizens present to protect and defend
the sacred legacy left them by the death .?
Charles Carroll, of Carrolltown, the last
who survvived the signers of the Declara
tion of Independence. At the close of this
address, the Fantastics, to the number of
25 or more, made their appearance on the
ground and created a vast deal of merriment
The following toasts were then drank,
(nothing, however, but lemonade was used
on this occasion :)
REGULAR TOASTS.
1. The day we celebrate. Distinguished
in the'annals of the world as the birth day
of a great and powerful nation as, also,
for the introduction of' new and great prin
ciples of political philosophy, which, in the
lap.e of time, are destined to change the
political, social, and moral relations of the
world.
2. George Washington. Who has not
heard the revered name pronounced over
and over again. At the sound thereof a na
tion's gratitude breaks forth from sea to
sea, and calls hiin blessed. Millions upon
millions yet unborn shall lisp his name as
the Father of his country the greatest,
the purest, and the best of men.
3. Ihe feigners or the .declaration ot in
dependence. They solemnly and deliberate
ly pledged their lives, their fortunes, and
their sacred names in behalf of the fearful
position they had taken in the face of the
British King.
4. The Heroes of the Revolution. In
the days that tried men's souls these gallant
founders of the Republic freely shed their
best blood, and endured the greatest priva
tions irt the cause of Liberty.
5. Our Country. The home of Liberty,
and an asylum for the oppressed of all lands.
6. The President of the United States.
7. The Governor of Pennsylvania.
8. The surviving soldiers of the great Re
bellion. The Battle fields of Gettysburg,
Antietauij and a hundred other hotly con
tested engagements, all prove their disci
pline, their courage, and their patriotism
their country's hope in peace, and its bul
wark in war. A nation with such defend
ers can never be enslaved.
9. The Ladies. They form one of that
sacred trio to whom we, this day, pay our
humble and heartfelt adoration our Uoa,
our uouutrv, our vomen; ana on um
Country and the Ladies we invoke the rich
est and most munificent blessings of Heaven.

Mind and Muscle. Brown, who had
been editing a weekly paper at a small town
in an adjoining Sate, for some time past,
went through here a short time since, on hia
way to New Orleans in search of employ
ment Smith met him in the reading room
of the hotel, just before he left, and asked
him how he happened to abandon his paper.
, "You see," said Brown, "Green and 1
started the thing in partnership, ard, as he
is nothing of a writer, it was agreed u3tween
us that I should edit the paper, and he
should do the press work, etc. This ar
rangement struck me after awhile as being
unfair, so I said to Green on i day :
"Green I don't like the way the work
in this office is divided. I think that inas
much as you work merely with your muscle
while I work with my brain you ought to
allow me a little bigger, share of the profits.
Brains ought always to command a higher
price than muscle."
"Ad that may be true," said Green, "but
look here, Brown, considering the large
amount of muscle I've got and the very
small amount of brains you've goi, I don't
think you have any right to say a word."
"After that," continued Brown, "I felt
that injustice to myself I couldn't associate
on equal tcrnrs with Green any longer, and
so I sold out my interest in the concern and
left." . J1.
A certain negro was so convinced of ti e
lowliness of his race that he became indif
ferent as to his future state, believing that
"dey'll make niggers work even in heaben."
A clergyman tried to argue him out of this
opinion, by representing this not to be the
case, as there wa no work in heaven for
mm or any one else to do. His answer
was, "You iro 'wav, massa: I know better.
If dare's no work for the cullud pussons up
dar, dey 11 make em shub de clouds along.
One of the lay speakers in a Methodist
Conference, down East, illustrated his read
iness to fraternize with the Southern breth
ren, and his feelings toward them, by the
story of the two that -would not speak to
each other, but one having been converted
at a camp meeting, on seeing kis former
enemy, held out his hand, saying, "How
dy'edo, Kemo? Iam humble enough to
shake hands with a dog."
In a railroad station is a placard announ
cing 'No smoking,' posted over an oil lamp.
Two Irishmen appear, one smoking. 'Mike,'
says the other, 'ye' re transgressin' the
rhules of the establishment' How's that,'
says the smoker. 'Don't you see there no
smoking?' 'Yis ; but can't ye see, ye spal
peen, the remark is addressed to the lamp?'
A venerable lady of a celebrated physi
cian, one day castintr. her eye out of tne
window, observed her husband in the fu
neral procession of one of his patients, at
which she exclaimed: "I do wish my hus
band would keep away from such processions
it appears too much like a tailor carrying
home his work."
Rochester has an organization of widow
ers. One of them made up his mind to get
married again, and the rest of them to the
number of eighteen, met at Mr R. E. Sher
lock's residence to present him with a silver
tea set and their well wishes.
They tell of one of the unterrified
Bridgeport, Conn., who was especially

shucks about Johnson ; it's Parsou Nasby
that I want to see."
"What a fine head your boy has," said
an admiring friend. "Yes, yes," said the
fond father, "he's a chip of the old block ;
ain't yon,sonny ?" "I guess so.daddy, the
teacher said I was a young blockhead."
A gentleman once asked, "What is wo
