cut it to a prescribed length and went on

and in a low, serious tone inquired how far

kept. on swinging the axe, but. soon looked
up with a peculiar twinkle of the eye, and
said. “ cart tongue." The stranger thought
it. funny, for he was not in pursuit of cart

REV. WM. H. THOMAS.
Al. Non-walk, July, 4, 1872.
Funmw Cmms:
We celebrate to-dsy a 10ml trimnph—a
triumph of man over nature—one of those
achievements that mark pm ress in material
thrift in comerce and com art.
In the olden fable there was a Geuii of
terrible power imprisoned in ajar of stone,
sealed with a mystic seal which he was pow-
erless to break, and cast into the sea, there
to remain until some power should come to
release him. -For a thousand years he swore
that whose should liberate him should be
terribly cursed ; thou the next thousand
years he swore that whose should set him
free, should be rewarded with prosperity.
So by the Almighty were gigantic powers
hidden in the earth, waiting release by the
band of man, forces that 'xvrongly liberated
by man, were his scourge. Firethat burned
him, lightnings that terrified him, mystcri
nus but mighty laws, affinities, susceptibili—
ties, that lurked hidden in eve corner of
nature. The men who ignorandyy stumbled
against them were scout-god. ._ .
But to him who stole their secrets and
liberated those forces bright, they became
servants, firc and water harnessed instecl
drew his carriage and his dray. The light.-
ning tamed became his messenger. The
light his painter. The winds became the
Cullml‘l‘s that drew his chariot. on the seas
He put the mill whccl to the ebb and flow
of the tide, and the stars that swing the
moving waters grind his corn. The stone
becomes plasticin his hands; he flings it. up
as a fountain of waters in shnpcs of grace
and beauty, and bids It become adamant to
stand fast as his pillnrcd temple forever.
'I he clay, baptized infirc, hardcus into stone
at his touch, and walls him in from the win-
trv blasts. The forest trees he nails tOgeth~
cr for aship, and putting an imprisoned and
obedient genii in the hold, hc rides forth to
the les of the earth. Out of the heart of

cal achievement to-day. Allover this land
and in all lands where men love liberty. this
day is honored as marking the dawn of a
brighter day for humanity. Eternally hon—
ored be those men who lifted this day out. of
the common days, who, with unparalleled
during, use to the world that Declaration of
Indepcn ence and Human Rights which was
at. the same time a declaration of war; who
went to war withouta nation oraflag; with-
out a dollar or a. treasury: without a soldier
in the field or a ship upon the sea; not a
bayonet hammered out, not a musket in their
possession, not a fort erected on their long
inc of sea-coast; who went ~to war with a
mighty nation whose invincible fleets cover-
ed the seas, whose armies were the best in
Europe; the richest, proudest, strongest, na~
tion in the old world—old in arts and arms,
and enriched with the spoils of a thousand
through unheard of difficulties, through
veal-s of defeat, their way lighted by their
burning homes. marked with bloody foot-
prints on the frozen snow, past prison hulks
where their comrades rotted, over graves that
yawncd through storms of shot and shell
that struck them down maimed and cri -
pied. Forward still marched those b‘att -
ions of tattered uniforms and brave hearts,
and paused not nor rested from their work
until the last invader was driven from the
soil, nod the new flag- had won its place
among the nations of the earth. '
All honor to those heroes of ’76! Not
alone to those bright names that shine as
stars in our history—Washington, Hancock,
Putnam, Joflcrson; but to every unknown
man who gave all he had to ive that this
continent might be saved to li%ert_v. The
heart is base, indeed, that refuses them
honor.
In later times this day won a proud place
in our history. In that last trial that. came
to our nation, when we flew to arms to pro
serve the Union fathers built and cemen-
ted with their blood; when, after a tide of
reverses that all our lavish pouring out of
treasure and blood could not stem, came the
Fourth of July, and with it the victories of

And while that war is fresh ‘p our memory,
its graves not. yet troddcn smooth by the re-
lentless foot of time; while many of its heroes
yet live among us, we would be recrcant to
our manhood did we not honor those men
who ave themselves. to the preservation of
