The Day We Celebrate. “Different times, different customs,” is a German proverb of wide applicability and truth. Something the same thought is in Lowell’s “New occasions teach new duties.” The customs of our forefathers do not satisfy us auy more than their future. (“For, ’thout new funnitoor, wut good in life?”) They celebrated the Philadelphia incident of July 4,1776, in their way— and it was a good way, too; we must celebrate it in our way. We can not think ourSelves back into their attitude of mind, and we should probably oiake ourselves ridiculous if we tried to) celebrate .the “fourth” as it used to be celebrated. One cannot say this, who remembers how things used to be, without a pang of regret. Perhaps ours is the better, the more ratioual way. But the old day of uproarious noise from earliest dawu to midnight was a great stimulator of youthful patriotism. It was dpll and sluggish blood indeed that was not made to flow a little faster. . And beating of drums, blare of bugles and cannon’s roar made all pulses beat in patriotic unison throughout the leugth and breadth of the land. Those were the times and that was the day when no one needed to offer excuse for “letting the eagle scream.” Besldgs the clamor of musical instruments aud clangor of bells and cannon, there was also much noise of oratory. People never tired ol listening to the reading of the resounding periods of Jefhrson’s immortal declaration, beginning with the splendid phrase, “When, in the course of human events,” and sweeping along in a torreut of elements to the matchless cHmax, “And, tor the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providcnco, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our, sacred houor.” The words thrill now. What must they have done in the supreme and awful exigency when they were first thundered forth? And people, never tired of hearing from the orator the story of the revolution, spiced good round denunciation, and plenty of it, of British aggression, and, iudeed of all things British. In private households, too, the reading of the declaration was al^ most a religious duty, and the father, as lie tead, repeated with patriotic fervor the family traditions of revolutionary effort and sufferings. It was the great holiday of the year, its only rival in popular favor being Thanksgiving day or Christmas.

People are just as patriotic today— moreso, doubtless, for we have more of our country’s history, in our country’s present, in our country’s prospective future, to be proud of and to be thankful for. But we do not show our patriotism in the same demonstrative way as of >ore. "We ha|ve more holidays of national significance, sO that all patriotic manifestation is^ not concentrated into one day’s pomp" and pageant. We take things quieter than our forefathers; we have lost the appetite for spread-eagleism. We spend our holidays more in the domestic circle, less in great public gatherings and demonstrations. If we have speaking and there is still much of it in the aggregate, we care more for the careful consideration of some ttipic of national interest which appeals to our intelligence, apd less for rhetorical pyrotechnics ot the eaglescreaming and emotional style. ♦ It is a day to be glad of, to be proud of. When we read the immoral names appended to the declaration, we involuntarily say, “There were giants in those days.” They builded better than they knew. The whole world is a more comfortable place towlive in because they had convictions, and, what is far more, because they had the courage of them.

Death Angel. June 23. The angel of death visited our home to-day and took from us my darling little sister. Our home is so dark. The little body now lies in a chamber ot this lonely home. The sweet voice of little Minnie Flow is now hushed. The little feet that often met us at the'gateway to welcome us are now cold and stiff. The sweet words and tender smiles will never greet us more. Soon she must be laid in the cold, cold ground by the side of three darling brothers, a siveet little sister and dear uncle Joe. Minnie F. Ridge was the daughter of J. \V, and Nancy J. Ridge. She was four years six months and twenty-six days old. “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” Little Minnie has left her home here below to be an angel in Heaven. We must all die. One by one we must take up our abode in the silent halls of death. All christains who read this pray for us that we may be reconciled and wait patiently and so live that when our summons comes that we may strike bands with darling Minnie in that country where all tears are wiped from our eyes. Farewell little darling, Thy footsteps no more Can come to greet us At the open door. But at heaven’s gate-way, With beckoning hand Tlioa waits to greet ns In that blessed land. Now we will see you no more, But we pray, and wait Till the Lord shall call us To the beautiful gate. W. J. Ridge.

Having sold Chamberlain’s colic, cholera, and diarrhoea remedy for the past seventeen years, and knowing its reliability, he procured a 25 cent bottle, two doses of which cured him. The excitement and change of diet incident to traveling often procured a, diarrhoea. Every one should procure a bottle before leaving home For sale by J. K. Adams* Son, druggists.
