31V GEORGE LIPPAItD.
There is a silence in this hall ev
ery voice is hushed every face is
stamped with a deep and awful re
sponsibility. 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

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. In other of the
colonies, other flags were usd, accord
ing to the taste of the volunteers, or
