CELEBRATING THE “FOURTH.”—In
I the last number of.Veal’s Saturday Gazette we
find, among the “chit chat” of the editor, the
following seasonable reflections about howto cel
ebrate the Fourth of July:
Vow, “in the course of human events,” the
Fourth of July is rapidly approaching-, and pre
paration is busy every where, to greet the natal
hour of human freedom. It is indeed, a glorious |
time, and sad will be the moment, “should such1
moment ever come, when the people of these
Fnited States shall be disposed to pa>s it coldly
by. Vo—lei the thunder of artillery give wel
come to the dawn; and as the billowed smoke
wieathes heavily along the ground, let our starry
flag dance beaming upward to the topmast
height,[like an unfettered eagle; and then, as wave
on wave of buoyant glory float, along the breeze,
your voice*, freemen, in one glad acclaim—mil
lions of voices, ringing to the skies!
But yet —w e are not at all addicted to borrow
ingon ordinary occasions — it is a rule of our* to
owe no man anything—but yet, for once, and in
a figurative way—lend me your ears, w ith no
bad jokes about the length ot tiiosc already in
possession. Celebrate the Fourth ot July, of
course; but do not forget “that honorable stop
not to oulsport discretion.” Array thee in thy
ber*t—thy chin new reaped, with money in thy
purse. But—we have thought about it often—it (
is by no means necessary to be. si» k either in the
afternoon or on the follow ing morn. The l>ecl i
ration of Independence requires of thee no head
ache—the fever in general so consequent and so
Subsequent to the day, is quite superfluous.—
Freedom will no! grow pale nor Independence !
languish, even if the segar be* not smoked to ri
diculous excess—one ni^y be glad, and yet not
i gormandize—one may be patriotic, And still be
I sober—patriotic at the pump. It is true that at
j the call ol country, we should yield both life and
limb, but there is no demand for such sacrifices
now ; and beware lest by ill managed artillery, it
be your lot to be borne mangled and shattered to
t an early grave. The annual destruction ot hu
man life by means like this, i*> terrible.
Hark’ee, youngster—set not the house a tire
cither the neighbour’s, or thine own; and wisely
beware of a scorched countenance and of an ex
tinguished eye. You, too, that ride in chaises—
unskilled in whip and ignorant of reins—be dis
I trustful of that alcoholic enthusiasm which
prompts to out trotting emulation; or it maybe
required to go serpentining home, adorned by
. i i i i - • * i *i -
I ycraicuei auu ai ia)t*u in uum, wuu me cusis, ve
hicular ami equestrian, to square up. These
direful crashes are expensive, even if you have
no bones. And canter slowly, Abraham, with
your trowsers working to the knee. That horse
suspects you mightily, and may choose to go
alone. Just so—hi* heels are in the air, and
you are vice versa —“too much by the head.” Do
you call that keeping the day, when you cannot
keep your balance ?
Hear, little boys aquatic —splashing in streams
or paddling in a boat — be heedful in your swim
mings—let your skipper know the ropes, or there
will bo a doleful talc to tell hereafter. And then,
lor once,—ye, rowdy! but for once; let us not
have a fight—go without thine accustomed thresh
ing for a day at least, and make allow*.ce double
on the morrow. A broken nose is graceful, we
admit; and ambushed elegance lies couching in
the blackened eye? but why “gild refined gold
and paint the lily?” The brickbat is perennial,
and spontaneous is the fist; while both will bear
adjournment. Somebody wrill trounce you any
day, and with our thanks to bool; and, perhaps,
illustrious rowdy, you way also be for once in
duced not to insult the unprotected female, as a
branch of manly daring.
Would it not he pleasant—cheering to the pa
triot, and jo)ful to the friend of man—could all
learn to celebrate the day, in reason and sobriety!
It should be a call to prove ourselves worthy of
the blessings wTe enjoy—cheerfully, but calmly;
in glee, but with becoming temperance—notan
occasion for the unblushing gambler to take the
field, with all his infamous devices—not a Unit
for vice to stalk unreproved abroad, nor an op
portunity for drunken turbulence to rear its ugly
head, hut our improvement has already been
remarkable, and in this, as in all oilier things,
wc are rapidly progressive. There are many
now who do not “keep the day” in fun, at the
cost of a w'cek in sorrow and repentance; and it
is a wise economy. __
A MILLERITE, conversing with ar>old head
; whom he supposed to favor his views, remarked;
| “rfatan, who has full power over rne, transforms
me into a horse every night 1 sleep, and, after
riding me like lightning, hitches me to a certain
post and then leaves me to find my way home
again. I w ish it was in my power to distinguish
the post, so that I might know where Tam night
ly carried.” “That can be easily ascertained,” re
plied the other, “if you will but follow my ad
vice. The next time you are carried away and
hitched, commence bitting the post, and thus con
tinue till you are unloosed.” “That 1 will do,”
replied the Millerite;and home he went, confident
that he would soon be out of the power of the
evil one. After retiring to rest, that night, as
usual, Satan came and had his accustomed ride,
after which he hitched him to the post. Thcdelud*
‘ ed man commenced operationsandgnawed the post
with all his strength. Judge of his surprise and
the surprise of Ins friends, when the morning
came, to find that the bed post was n al ly gnaw
ed in tw'o. The poor fellow is a Millerite no
longer.—Portland Built tin.
There is a jewel ofa damsel at New IJavcn,
Connecticut, who has furnished under the signs
tur of “Vona” a few stanzas to the Courier, ex
pressive of the outgushing desire of her blessed
innocent little heart. The following is a sample.
Hear the darling:
Willi the blessings ] hare, my wants are oui uirce,
Most simple, and definite, nothing that s wild:
I a *» for no more than is needful to me,
A husband to love, with a cottage, and child.
he never speaks kind to me.—
Conversing the other day with an interesting
little girl, between the age of six and seven, I
took occasion to impress upon her mind the debt
of gratitude due from her to her Heavenly I a
rent for bestowing upon so good and kind a tat.mr,
whom every body loves. I was perfectly thun
der struck with her answer. Looking ri>e lull
in the face with soft blue eyes, she replied: “He
.! never speaks kind to me.” Perhaps crus Chris
1 tian father, harassed with the cares of business
i was unconscious that he had roughly checked the
fond attentions of his child, but could cares or
the interruptions of his child excuse unkindness
or a total want of tokens of endearment; \\ ill
1 fathers examine their habits on this point r
THOSE WHO MAKE WAR SHOULD
- DO THE FIGHTING —Let rulers, who crow
so bravely each on his own dunghill, meet in sin
gle combat; and if one kills the other, let the
question be settled accordingly. If both are kill
\ ed, Jet the next in authority lake up the weapons,
! until there is only one survivor: and let his count
ry take the land in dispute.
5 Does this mode of settling the difficu.t} ap
pear barbarous to the reader! But is it not as
r much better than war as the number engaged in
the deadly conflict? Wbat i. war but > duel oo
f a creat scale? or according to Jefferson, toe ud
profitable contest of seme who will do the other
the most harm;” which multiplies, instead of re
dressing injuries.
There is another thing in which war is more
barbarous than duelling, which is, that in a duel
the principals fight out their own quarrel*; but ii
war, they hire others to kill one another, who
know little and care less about the cause ot the
quarrel. T he object of (he common soldier is
pay and plunder, with the license to trample on
all God’s laws with impunity. With the officer
the object is the exercise of arbitrary power, and
the prai*e of the vulgar.
When Alfred the Great instituted the orJeal
of battle, it was a great advance on the barbarous
manners of the age, and much betrr than those
deadly fueds, in which the parlies involved not
only themselves, but all their retainers. Then,
why not adopt a plan which, barbarous and un
christian* as it is, is not so bad as war*
