How Sho Booame Convinced of the Error of Her Views. allowed in the park except the members of tlio committee chosen to Bet off the flreworks. Tlie surrounding streets were filled with eager spectators and the ▼erandas and doorstones of tho liousea in tho vicinity were occupied by favored acquaintances of the property owner*. Seated In one corner of a piazza, be yond tho easy earshot of others, a youth and a maiden w»re engaged in earnest conversation. Their cheeks were flushed, their eyes flashed. Uoth lovers were high-spirited, and the quarrel in prog resa was almost flerco in its character. "I despise tho vulgar Yankees," said Edith Culpepper. "They are a nation of braggarts. They think they are smarter than any other people on the face of the earth, and they never lose an op]»ortunl ty to dilato on their superiority. Their noisy Fourth of July celebrations, of which wo have a sample to-day, In which cannon, fish horns and sputtering fireworks make a hideous racket, strik ingly illustrate the vainglorious and ■hallow character of the typical Ameri can," "1 know you aro angry at me In par ticular and at all Americans in gen eral," said Philip llazelton; "but the circumstances aro so greatly in my far "I DKHI'ISK TIIK VUI.GAJI YANKKKB." vor iu this discussion that 1 can afford to be maifnanimouM and to pity you. The fact that you knew the Americana are superior is what vexes you." It was a keen homo thrust and Miss Oolpeppea winced. Stubborn prejudice, k« wever, strengthened her resistance. "I can readily dispense with your pity and I emphatically deny that the Amer icans are superior. One serious blunder In the war of the revolution alono pre vented the British from conquering tho miserable rebels. Instead of ffoiutf on his foolish expedition to Pennsylvania Hlr William Howe should have remained In New York. Then at the proper titno he could and should have gone tip tho Hudson valley and formed it junction with the forces of Hurffoyno before tho disastrous buttle of Saratoga. Had this plan, the one dcsijwd by the British ministry, been earned out, a fatal wedjfo won M have separated tho colon ies into two parts, und tho people of Mew Kngland on tho one hand anil the people of the middle or southern statea on tho other hand would surely have been subdued." "As well might you argue that if Washington lutd not crossed tho Dela ware aud captured tljo Hessians at Trenton, tho patriots would have be come so discouraged tiy the tremendous odds against thciu that they would have given up the tight aud submitted to tho yoke of tbu tyrannical British. No; your method of rcaaonlng is fallacious. The fato of a nation is decided not by any one circumstance but by the com bined result of many circumstances. There is a large element of chance that works for good or ill In any crisis, I admit, but I think that every intelligent %nd student of BUTLER, IPA.., JULY 1, 1892. history must acknowledge mat in our successful wars with Great Britain chance was not the controlling inrtu- I ence. Our patriotism founded on right and our superior ability were the chief reasons why v»e were victorious. We were the younger and, seemingly, the weaker nation ; and yet we conquered twice. Especially glorious were our naval victories. In the revolutionary war John Paul Jones in the Ranger, a vessel of but 16 guns, for softie time was a terror to tho whole ctf&st of Scotland "IT 13 EVIDENTLY TIME FOR ME TO GO." and a part of that of England; and In tho war of 1812 the splendid victories of Commodore Perry on Lake Erie and of Commodore McDonougli on Lake Cham plain demonstrated our supremacy on the water. "I will merely add that your refer ence to Burgoyne reminds me that my ancestor, Col. Henry Hazelton, served under Gen. Schuyler and afterward ac quitted himself with honor on the fleld of Saratoga. lam proud of his record and" I rejoice that the blood of so patri otic an American flows in my veins." While young Hazelton was talking, Edith could scarcely restrain her indig nation, and as soon on he had finished, her trembling voice gave sarcastic ut terance to these words: "You have condemned vourself. What you have said shows that like the rest of tho Americans you are full of vain glory. As for me, I am proud of the fact that my great-grandfather was a staunch tory, a loyal subject of King George, and that he suffered much in the cause. His life more than onco threatened by the rebels, and he lost his valuable estate in Virginia. With Ills family ho fled to England and there his descend ants have since resided. I am the first one of the name who has ever crossed the ocean since he left the rebellious clnnlin I am really disgusted with tho country and hope soon to return to London. Nothing could induce mo to remain hero permanently nnd mnT an American." "It is evidently timo for me to go," said Ilarelton, coldly. "You and I have been good friends, but we can be such no longer. I shall not wait to re ceive any more hints. This Is probably our last conversation, so I will say good by forever." "Good-by," sho exclaimed, with freez ing dignity. Hazelton quickly departed. Ho pushed into the crowd and made his way to the edge of tho park. The dis play was at Its height. Pin wheels wert whirling forth circles of sparks, flower pots were tossing upward brilliant bombs, Itoman candles wcro emitting dazzling balls and occasionally a whistling rocket arose and bursting in midair let fall a shower of differently colored stars. It was a beautiful sight, but In his present mood our hero could not enjoy It. Ho went homo and spent a sleepless night on his couch. Did lie care for tho fair tory, after all? A few days later Hazelton went to another city to engage in business and did not return to visit his parents un til tho day before the next Fourth of July. On tho evening of tho Fourth he strolled to the little park to witness a display of fireworks similar to the one which has been described. Ho ap proached tho house, that of an inti mate friend, where tho memorable quarrel had taken place anil turned his melancholy eyes toward the corner of the veranda where Miss Culpepper and ho had sat. To his overwhelming surprise sho was sitting there then. Ills heart beat tumultiiously, his mind was confused. Should ho advance or retreat? While ho hesitated, tho beau tiful girl recognized him and tho in viting smile which she bestowed upon him banished all doubts from his inlniL His eager manner as he stepped forward to meet her showed that he ardently desired a reconciliation. Simultaneous ly they knew that tho old lovo was strong 111 spito of the serious quarrel and tlio painful separation. Her little hand trembled and nestled in his and for a time they sat beside each other silent but supremely happy. "Then you did not go to England?" he said. "No; I wm about to engage pMHfe on a steamer when my plans were changed by a peculiar and romantic circumstance. I chanced one day to be come acquainted with an old antiquary. Wo entered into a long conversation concerning the revolutionary war. In the course of our talk reference wan made to your ancestor, Col. Henry Ilazclton, and to what be/ell my tory relativen during the war. The anti quary asked a few questions and then eagerly exclaimed.' 'Do you know that Martha Culpepper, a sl*ter of your great grandfather, the tory refugee, was once engaged to ( apt. Hazel ton, a brother of Col. Hazelton?' 'No,' I replied. 'lt is time then that you were enlightened,' ■aid my friend. 'lt was a sad romance. Both were 3'oung. He was handsome and chivalroun, a prince among men; and iho was renowned for her grace and beauty throughout Virginia. They loved each other deeply but both were headstrong and high-spirited. He warm ly espoused the American cause; alio was a thorough tory. Hitter disagree ments were the result. He joiued the continental aruiy against her wishes. At their last interview there were high words. During the next few years no letters pawned between them. lk>th re gret ted the alienation, but each was too proud to uiaku any overture*. He was killed at the siege of Yorktown. She survived him many years, but remained to the day of her death a melancholy •pi nater.' "I was profoundly impressed with the sad story," Edith cootlnOTd, "and 1 de rived from It a leason for mvself. Was I not ul>out to repeat the mistake made by my ancient relative? I felt that 1 was like her. I poMetmcd the family inheritance of high spirit and stubborn insistence on iny own views, even if I could uot claim a grace and beauty equal to hern, llescmhiing her in char acter, I was exposed to the same pitfall into which she had fallen. Her fate was a warning to me." "Ho you decided to reuviin Uds oppittf m<L&. tW* U FhlTlf to Y CITIZEN. comij reconciled 10 mer utw.«iuou sud denly exclaimed, feefore Edith could pro ceed. "You are partly light and partly wrong," 6LC coyly replied. ' I remained in this city, and, as I knew you would come home some time. I did not trust to chance." "But how did you know that 1 would forgive you even if I did come bark?" "I felt sure that you would not be foolish. Did you not observe how con fidwntly I was awaiting your arri\ al to night?" Hazclton laughed. At this moment their attention was attracted by the brilliance of the pyro technic display. They enjoyed the spectacle this time. J. A. HOU.ES EXPRESBIVK.

After considera ble discussion, it was decided that while his wife spent the Fourth in the city with her sister he would hie him to the shady fastness of Khagburk county and peacefully fish the day away. The journey thither, which began at 7 a. m., was an entirely uneventful one, except for a slight eruption resultant upon his compliance with the request of a tall, gaunt woman that ho hold her baby while she procured a cup of tea at the lunch counter at Catuniount Junc tion. Mr. Hicks reads the newspapers. He also thinks. And when ho saw from the car window the tall, gaunt woman rush out of the door at the op posite side of the lunch room and just manage to swing on to the end of the westbound train whlclihad stood on the other track, he realized how he been duped. The sight of a blushing, wild-eyed man jumping about, like a toad on a hot skillet and holding wrong end up a baby which sang war songs in the Hiwasli language moved Hicks' fellow passengers to Indulge In loud and resonant horse-laughs. They also re minded him In one voice that the game was older thau the hills and that suck i era were plentiful that year. In frenzy, A MOI I TWM I• Hicks was übout to cast the young Apollvon out of the window and dive after him when the train began to back and the conductor appeared with a tele gram and arrested him. And then all the passengers fell upon Hicks, figur atively speaking, and lashed him with cloven tongues And when they reached the junction three deputy sheriffs pounced upon Hicks and would have Waten his brains out had not the tall, gaunt woman got h)ipad of them aud scratched a map of Kamtchatka on his countenance. And seven men stood ready with ropes, and the luob cried aloud that he bo lynched for kidnaping. But the depu ties saved Ids life and got their pay in full in satisfaction by beating hliu all the way to the jail, where ho lay all day ami all night because the magis trate hail gone to Ouderdonkvlllu to make a Fourth of July speech. And Hicks was Interviewed by re porters and insulted by the rabble and swindled out of his supper by a tramp, who snored all night like a lost soul and picked Hicks' pocket as they were being taken iwfore the magistrate upon the morrow.

'ivtt I*. MOfcUAM. the way down the long vista of the centuries there is none that -.narks a air,re important event than that which bears the declaration of our inde pendence. The ''divint right uf kings' had lx*eu the creed that the world had preached with fire and sword for cen turies, but from the in#unt.aius and val leys of the New World, from humble cabins in the wilderness, from the shores of the inland seas and the banks of miffhty rivers the amen of a people who bad learned the of free dom from nature herself ascended, when those brave patriots, our fore fathers. made that memoftible de. larv tion which caused tyrants to tremble upon their thrones and oppression to prow pale under its (randy trappings of robe and crown. The doom of king-croft and priest craft was then and there pronounced, anil in the clear light of the new day, high and holy truths were revealed that hud long been hidden under the dust of Superstition and error. Democracy had Wen railed the dream of the fanatic, the chimera of the brain of the poet; but one hundred and sixteen years un der democracy has shown to Kurope that it is the throne that is the simu lacrum, njad that liberty under law, the law niadchy the people, is the most per fect form of government the world has ever seen. The struggle to free ourselves from the grasp of tyranny was bitter and long continued, and thure were times when it seemed hopeless. The young nation, weak in numbers and resources, was confronted by an enemy whose wealth was inexhaustible and whose military strength was enormous, and, had not God been with the brave men whose watch-word was "Liberty," their cause would have been lost. The principles they asserted their posterity has proven, and upon every anniversary of our nation's birth the loyal hearts of the people renew tbeir plight of faith to our national institu tions. Our flag has waved over many a bloody and hard-fought field since the declaration of independence sent a thrill through all Europe; but the wounds are healed, the graves are hid den with flowers, and peace, mild eyed and beautiful, broods over the land, and plenty pours from her horn the fruits of honest toil, sufficient not only for our own people, but for the starving millions of the old world, who reach out to ns hands of piteous appeal. We have conquered not only human foes, but the desert and the wilderness have l>ecn brought under subjection, the hidden treasures of th( depths of the earth huvu l>een yielded up, and to day we have within our land citiun that shame the pi-oudes* csnilfib? of the world. «>—. hi one century have out stripped those whose foundations were laid before Lief Kricksson was born, and wero rich and powerful Iteforo Colum bus dreamed of a world beyond the western sea. It is fitting, then, on thiij day of all others, that we should patffco to read the history of our past and the prophecy of our future. The eyes of the world are upon us, and we cannot afford to make mistakes, for the future republics of America and Kurope will l>e patterned after ours. Those who reft" I the of the times tell us thatiflonarchy in England is tottering to its fall, that Norway and Sweden, Germany, Italy and even Im perial Russia are striving to l»seak the bonds of tljeir despotism ujid l>ecouiD free. The United Htates, France, and even the superstition ridden tropical re publics of Central and South America uphold the standard of freedom, and when the clouds lift but an instant and the portion of humanity that is crushed under the Iron heel of despotism catches a glimpse of the sacred banner tlieir hearts thrill with new hope. There is a point where evolution in government becomes revolution. Wo reached it one hundred and sixteen years ago. Kuro]>c may .'each It in our own time, but among all the future re publics of the earth our own will for ever he preeminent, for it was planted in the virgin soil of a new contineut and has been guarded by a people to Whom patriotism is a religion above all Creeds and loyalty their breath of life.

It took Home five hundred year*, fire centuries of war, intrigue and arro gaoce, to overspread southern Lurope. In a little more than one century, says the Youth'* Companion. America haw grown t<> a magnitude, in area and per haps tn imputation also, eqnal to that of Kainc in its moat magnitioent days. "Civis Itomanua sum'." was the proud est boast that could fall from the lips fft man at the beginning of the Christian era. Is there to-day an American who rates his citizenship in the irreat repub lic at a lower value than Roman free dom nineteen hundred years ago? The day for "spread eagle"' brag is long past, but there is no reason why we should hesitate to say, what not wo alone but all the people of the world believe, that it Is the destiny of thia country to become the greatest, tha strongest, the wealthiest, the most self supporting, of all the nations of the earth. It is already the greatest self governing community the world has ever seen. How can we make it greater? By standing together aa Americans. We shall not magnify, but shall belittle ourselves, if we swagger before our neighbors—using bravado for the strong, and insolence in our treatment of the weak. But we should take American views Instead of party views, when questions arise between this gov ernment and others. The motto "America against the world" would be a contemptible motto. Yet is it not better to adopt even such a motto than to take the side of the world against America, or to be Indiffer ent when the Interests of one's own country are assailed? The Fourth of July is a good time for us all to resolve that we will be Aiptrri cans at heart. Not that we will bfltld up our own country on the ruins of others, but that when there is a clash ing of interests those of our native land shall have our hearty support.
