The resolution of June 14th was not male pnbtie until Seitember 8d, 1777, and the stars and stripes were first displnyen conspicuously at the surrender of Burgoyne, in October of the same year.

Var Memory or a Motner.— When temptation appears, and we are almost persuaded to do wrong, how often a mother's word of warning will call to mind vows that are rarely broken. Yes, the memory of a mother has save many a poor wretch from. going astray. Tall grass mny be growing over the hallowed spot where all her earthly remains repose ; the dyiny leaves of autumn may be whirled over it, or the white mantle of winter may cover it from sight; yet the spirit of her, when he walks in the right path, appears, and -gently, softly, mournfally calls to him when wandering off into the ways of error.
