Why turns every glanoe to that door? Why is it so terribly still ? The committee of three, who have been out all night, planning a parch ment are about to appear. That parchment, the signatures of I these men, written with the pen ly ing on yonder table, will either make the world free or etretch these necks upon the gibbet yonder iu Potter's field, or nail these hands to the door posts of these halls. Tnai was tne time for solemn laeea raWrotrTtfHtjncw; - - - , -4 - ,, ml . i.i last, nam: me uuuc ujjbus the Committee appear. Who are these three men who eome walking on to John Hancock's chair? The tall man with the sharp features the bold brow, and sand-hued hair, holding theparohment in his hand, is the Virginia fanner, Thomas Jeff erson. That stout built man, with resolute look and sparkling eye! That is a Boston man, one John Ad ams. And the oalm-faced man, with hair dropping in thick curls to his shoulders that man dressed iu a plain coat, and such odious home-made blue stockings that is the Philadel phia printer, one Benjamin Franklin. The three advance to the table. The parchment is laid there. Shall it be signed or not? Then Issues a high debate then all tho faint hearted cringe In corners while Thomas Jofferson speaks out his bold worda, and John Adams pours out his whole soul. Then the soft voice of Charles Car roll is heard undulating iu syllables of deep music. But still there is doubt and that pale-faced man, shrinkiug In one cor ner, squeaks out something about ax es, scaffolds, and a gibbet! 'Gibbet!' echoes a fierce, bold voice, that startles men from their seats and look yonder! A tall, sleuder man rises, dressed, although it is Summer time, in a faded red cloak. Look how his while hand undulates, as it is stretohed slowly out how that dark eye burns, while his word3 ring through the hall. Gibbet! They may stretoh our necks on all the gibbets in the land they may turn every roek into a scaf fold every tree into a irallows ovprv home into a grave, and yet the words of that parchment can never die ! They may pour our blood on a thous and seaffolds, and yet from every drop thatdyea the axe, or drops on tho saw dust of the block, a new martyr to freedom will spring iuto birth ! 'The British King may blot the stars of God from His sky, but he can not blot out His words written on the parchment there. The works of God may perish His word ! Never ! These words will go forth to the world when our bones are dust. To the slave in bondage it wiil speak of hope to the mechanic in his work shop freedom to the coward Kings these words will speak, but not in tones of flattery ! They will speak like the flaming syllables on Bekbaz zar's wall: The days of your pride and glory are numbered! The days of judgment draw near.' Yes that parchment will speak to the Kings in a language sad and ter rible es the trumpet of the Archan gel. You have trampled on the rights of mankind long enough ! At last the voice of human woe has pierced the ear of God, and oalled Hi3 judg down ment! You have waded on to thrones overseas of blood ; you have trampled on to power over the necks of millions; you have turned the poor man's sweat and blood into robes for your delicate forms ; into crowns for your anointed brows. 2s"ovr, EIng3 now, purpled hangmen of the world foryoa comes the day of asea, and gib bets, and scaffolds; for you the wrath of man ; for you the lightnings of God! Iiook! how the light of your pal aces on fire flashes up into the mid night sky! 27ow, purpled hangman of the world turn and beg for mercy ! Where will you find it? Not from God, for you have blas phemed His laws ! r ITotfrom the people, for you stand (fbaptized in their blood ! Here you turn, and lo! a gibbet! There, and a scaffold stares you in the faee ! All around you death but no- whesf pity.! It,-.',, executioners of tha human race,' fcsneel down ; yea kneel down upn Uie Baw-dust of the aeaffold ; lay yourperfamed heads upon the block; bless the axe as it falla the axe you sharpened for the poor man's neek. Such h3 the message of that declara tion to man, to tho Sings of the world I And shall we falter now? And shall we start back appalled, wsen our feet press the very thresh hoW of Freedom ? Do you see quail ing faces around you, when our wires have been butchered, when the hecr&etonee of our land are red with the bleed of our little children? Whatl.aro there shrinking hearts or faltering voices .here, when the very dead wf our battle-fields arise, and eall upon us iosiffn thai Parehmcnt or be accursed forever! Sign ! if the next moment the gib bet's rope is around your neck ! Sign! if the next momeut thte hall rings with the echo of the falling axe. .Sign ! by all your hopes in life or death as husbantls fathers as men sign your name to the parchment, or baaeeursed forever ! Sign ! not only for yourselves, but for all ages for that parchment will be-fcue text book of Freedom the Bi ble of the rights of Man forever! Sign 1 for that Declaration wiil go forsh to American hearts forever, and speik to those hearts like the voice of God ! And its work will not be doue, until throughout this wide continent not a single iach of ground owns the sway of a British King ! Nay, do notitert, and whisper with surprise! It is a truth your hearts witness it God proclaims it this sontinent isthe property of a free peo ples, and their property alone. God, I ;iS, proclaims it. .Look at this strange UWt.vafa banq ofLaxiias. and out Feasts suddenly ir'anato denly transformed Into a PBOPiiE ! look at this wonderful ex odas of the oppressed of the Old Wcrld into the ITew ! Where they oane weak in arms, but mighty in God-like faith nay, look at the his tory of your Bunker Hill your Lex ington where a band of plain farm ets rnooked -and trampled down the panoply of British arms ; and then tel, If you can, that God has not giv en &meriea to the free. I is not given for our poor human intellect to climb the skie3, to pierce tae counsels of the Almighty One. lut methinks I stand among the aw fil clouds which veil the brightness 0! Jehovah's throne. Methinks I see the HecordingAngel pale as an an gd Is pale, weeping as an angel can woap come trembling up to that theme, and speak his dread message : iather! The Old World is baptiz ed in blood ! Father ! it is dren ched with tbe blood of millions, butchered in war, in persecution, in slow and grinding oppression ! Father! look, with one glanc; of Thine eternal eye, look oer Europe, Asia, Africa, and behold evermore, terrible sight, man trodden down beneath the oppressor's feet nations lost in blood murder and superstition walking hand in baud over the graves of their victims, and not a single voice to whisper hope to man! He stands there, the angel, his band trembling with the black record of human guilt. But bark! The voice of Jehovah speaks out from the aw ful cloud : Let there be light again. Let there be a new World. Tell my people the poor, down trodden millions, to I go out from the Old World. Tell p1"111"10 B t from wrong, oppres sioa, and blood tell them to go out from the Old World to build up my altar in the New. As God lives, my friends, I believe tkat bo his voice. Yes, were my soul trjmbliug on the wing of eternity, were this hand freezing in death, were this voice choking with the last striggle, I would still, with the last wae of that hand, with the last gasp of that voice, implore you to remem ber the truth God hasgiven America to befrne ! Yes, as I sank down into the gleomy shaddows of the grave, with jay last grasp, I would beg you to sigx that Parchment, in the name of tha One who made the Savior, who ledeemed you in the name of the millions whose very breath is now hushed, in intense expectation, as they look up to you for the awful words YOU ARE FREE!' O, many years have gone since tbt fhour the speaker, his brethern, all have orumbled in the dust; but it would require an angel's pen to pic ture the magic of that speaker's look, the deep, terrible emphasis of his roice, the magnetic flame which, jhooting from his eyes, soon fired ev ery heart throughout the ball! He fell exhausted in his seat but tho work was doue. A wild" murmur jthrUte through the hall. Sign! Ha! 4, 1878. There is no doubt now. Look ! how they rush forward stout-hearted John Hancock has soaroely time to ign his bold name, before the pen is grasped by another and another. Loek how their names blaze on the parchment Adams, and Lee, and Jefferson, and Carroll, and now Rog er Sherman, the shoemaker. And here comes good old Stenhen Hopkins yes, trembling with palsy, ho totters forward, quivering from head to foot, with his shaking hand he seizes the pen, he scratches his pa triot name. Then comes Benjamin Franklin, the printer: and now the tall man In the red cloak advances, the man who made the fiery speech a moment ago with the same hand whioh waved in such fiery scorn, he writes his name Patrick Henry ! And now the parchment is signed ; and now let the word go forth to tbe people in the streets to the homes of America to the oanap of Mr. Wash ingtonand the palace of George, the Idiot King let the word go out to all the earth. And, old man in the steeple, now bare your arm nnd grasp the iron tongue, and let the bell speak out the great truth. Fifty-six Traders and Farmers aad Mechanics have this day shook tbe shackles of the world. Hark ! hark to the toll of that bell ! Is there not mu3io in the sound, that reminds you of those awful tones which broke from angel lips, when the news of the ohild Jesus burst on the Shepherds of Bethlehem? For that bell speaks to ihe world that God has given the American contin ent to the free the toiling millions of the human raee as the lost alter of the rights of man on the globe tbe home of the oppressed forever. Conclusion of Mr. Peperage's Feurtk of July Oration. 'I shall close,' said the eloquent or ator, 'by an allusion to the vital great' nees and sempiternal importance of the national Union.' 'The Union!' perorated Mr. ?. 'Inspiring theme? How shall I find words to describe its momentous mag nificence and it beat i lie lustre? The Union! it is the ark of our safety! ! the palladium of our liberties! li the safeguard of our happiness! ! ! ! and the teg is of of our virtues!!!!! In the Union we live and move and go ahead. It watches over u-at our "brrit-ftfaoTifr-in oar eradtes it ac companies us to the dietriot school gives us our vituals in due season it selects our wives for us from 'Ameri ca's fair daughters,' and it does a great many otner things ; to say nothing of putting us to sleep some times, and keeping the flies from our innocent repose. While the Union lasts we have a most reasonable pros pect for plenty of fodder, with occas ional drinks. By its beneficent ener gies, however, should the present supply give out, we shall rise superior to the calculations of an or dinary and narrow prudence, and take in Cuba, Hayti, and Mexico, and such other parts of contiguous is- lanas as may oner prospects tor an advantageous investment. Palsied be the arm, then, and blistered the tongue, and humped the back, and broken the legs, and eviscerated the stomach, of every person who dares to think or even dream of harming it ! May the heaviest curses of Time fall upon his scoundrelly soul! May bis juleps eurdle in his mouth ! May he smoke none but New Orleans to bacco! May his family be perpetual ly ascending tbe Mississippi in' a steamboat! May his own grand mother disown him! And may the sufferings of his fellow-citizens pur sife him like avenging furi es, till he is driven, howling into Congress. For, oh ! nay dear, dear friends my beloved fellow-citisens who can fore tell the agonies, or the sorrows, or the blights, and the anguish, and tbe dispair, and the black eyes, and tbe bloody noses, that would follow, upon the dispersion of our too happy, hap py family? Theaecursed myrimdona of despot ism with gnashing teeth and blood stained eyes, would rush at iarge over this planet. They would lap tbe crimson gore of tbe most wealthy and respectable citizens. Tbe sobs of fe males and the screams of children would mingle with the barking of dogs and the crash of falling columns. A universal and horrid night would mantle the skies, and one by one the strong pillars of the universe go crumbling into ruin, amid the gleam of bowie-knives and the lurid glare of exploding steamboats !'

History f the Xatioaal Sbo Yankee Doodle was a great fevorite with the patriots of the devolution, for it always meant downright patiot feia. When it first came Into use in the colonies is not known. Some of the emigrants may have brought it from England. Those who say it wae learned of the Dutch at New York or Albany are not so wild in tbelr guess ing as they might be. It has been said, and believed, that this tune was composed in 1755, by a Dr. Sehnck burgof the British army, for the New Englaud troops that fought with the British against the French, at Niaga ra and Fontenac It may or it may not be true, that he brought it to the attention of tbe New Soglanders at that time; but it ie certain that he did not compose it. It was known in England In the time of Charles First ; and, in the time of the second Charles it was used for a song on a lady of questionable character, which has since become a nursery song : Lacy Loekett lost her pocket. Kitty Fisher found K ; Nothing in It, nothing In It, Bet the binding round it, etc In times not much later, the English had a Yankee Doodle in Kent, and sang the tune to a popular song which began thus: Yankee Doodle oame to town Upon a Kentish pony ; Ho stuck a feather In bis hat. And oalled him Macaroni. Evart A. Duyoklnek, after consid erable investigation, suggested that the tune oame originally from Hol land, and referred to an old Dutch harvest song, which has this refrain : Yadker didle, doodle down, Dtdel, dadlo lanter. Yadke vlver, voover Town. Botermllk and Tantber. The pay of the harvesters was but termilk for drink and one-tenth of the grain they ha vested. Hence, the last line of the chorus, which means 'but termilk and a tenth." This old song, with its tune, our Yankee Doodle, has been current in Holland aad the Low Countries from 'time immemorial. There is good reason to believe the tune originated there. It Is manifest that our Yankee Doodle was original ly and anciently a Dutchman, a jolly gentleman of the Low Countries, who came to us through England, wae gladly naturalized, and at length ad vanced to high honors. In tbe time of the Revolution, tbe song for which 'Yankee Doodle' was. moot used, may have been first written as a burlesque, and then revised with a more genial aim. Worcester Spy. Tke America Flag. Much dteeue&ion has existed in re- -gard to the origin of tbe American flag. It has been suggested that it was originally copied from a portion of Washington's coat of arms, and ocr readers will perhaps remember the allusion to this idea in one of Mar tin Farqubar Tapper's speeches, when that gentleman was in this country. This part of the subject will probably, however, remain al ways in conjecture, for no documen tary evidence bee yet been adduced reepeettng it, or is likely to be. But it is knows that the flag, as it exists aow, was the growth of two differ ent stages. At first oaly tbe etrtpes were need, but afterwards tbe bine fleid, in one eoraer, studded with stars wae introduced. Tbe stri ped or Union, flag as it was now call ed then, was first hoisted in Wash ington's camp, at Cambridge, on tbe 1st of January, 1776. It wae seme months later that the stars were add ed. In Jnne, 1777, this flag per fected, was adopted by a vote of Con gress, as tbe natioa! banner. Prior to the 1st of January, 1776, a plain crim son flag had been used iu the army, for one of that description baviag been carried to Bunker Hill, it con tinued to be hoisted until; the Union flag was adopted.
