But here in America our heroes need no monumental piles of granite, or human immolation, harto perpetuate their names, for-imony with the advanced civilization of the world: with the setting sun of the nineteenth century shedding its benignant beams upon us, we build our heroes shrines in our hearts, and once every year we assemble in some proper place to unvail those shrines, to rehearse the prowess of our heroes in battle, their whdom in oouncil, their virtues in and teach our children to imitate their example. There were heroes at Lexington, where liberty was borcia America and baptixed in human blood. There were heroes at Bunker Hill, where a mere haad&il of patriots, undisciplined and almost unarmed, faoed twice their number ef the well trained and thoroughly equipped pets of ptwnpered aristooraey, flushed with the victories of a hundred European battle fields. That is certainly the sublimest spectacle on record, even at this remote day I almost fancy I hear tha dull thud of mattock and spade, as they toil wearily under the silent stars, that they may be protected from shot and shell on the morrow.

Stratford) by c. w. PENROSB. The Pen returns- - thanks for gracious reoogniuon on this glorious day. It cherishes pleasant memories of work performed exactly a century ago, when it was grasped by, the bunds of mighty men, who spoke, in words immorul.not only for the colonies which spurned the oppressor's yoke, but for the cause of liberty in all lands and in all time. If it bad not been for tbe pen, where now utterwould be tbeia heaven-inspireances? Lost to the world! or so changed and distorted by failiug memory and imperlect speech, that tbo sentiments of '76 as they would be represented 10 dny could not be recognizen by those who gave them being. The cword has played a leading part in the sublime drama of human exist ence. It has figured in tbe most important epochs of universal history. Honor to tbe b?ave men who have drawn it, to maintain- the truth or defend the right! The sword cut the way to the But the heroes nation's independence. who wielded tbe glittering blade were moved tovalorous deeds by tbe efforts of tha- - pen; and it is only through the pen that the struggles and triumphs of the deliverers of our country are known to the sons of freedom The sword is the emblem of the era of force; the pen is the sigu of the age of reason. The reign of the sword is passing: away; the dominion, of the pen is widening over all the earth. Tbe pen t mightier than the sword. It moves men's souls, it treasures up grand truths;: it perpetuates great thoughts, which otherwise would die as they drop from the lips of wisdom. Tyrants wiio fear not the might of the sword, tremble at the pewer of the pen. Lt is the champion of the people, the weapon of intellect, the foe of ignorance, bigotry tnd barbarism. It is mighty for good, but it is also potent for evil. A 'thrust of the' sword rilay kill the body, but a stab of the pen may slay reputation, er give wounds to the 8ensitn e mind far worse than physical injuries, and harder to bear than the pangs of death. Wielded by great minds, the pen arouses the world, to noble acts, and to harmony. moves mankind But handled by the malevolent or tbe slanderer, it stirs up the fires of bate and fills the earth with discord. Tbe press is the pen's repeater. It multiplies the good or evil whioh tbe pen brings forth But the day is coming when tbe press will no longer be the diffuser of the pen's malignity, and will refuse to be a shield and a covert for the character-assassithe sneaking coward, who, masktd in and skulking behind the a press, with a pen dipped in the poison ous gall of falsehood, stabs at the fair fame of brave men and virtuous women, The pen is mightier than the sword for it will flourish when the sword is no more. 8words are yet to. be beaten into ploughshares. Aye, and tbe steel which was won t to be fashioned into swords to destroy mankind, will be worked up into pens to teach men bow to live. Tbe pen inscribes our history on earth, and writes our record in heaven, lt has pleasant work to do in the near future, for the city in which we celebrate the Centennial birthday of American inde pendence; that is, to mark Ogden as the grand centre of trade and manufactures in- - the magnificent States which are arising in the midst of the Rocky Mountains. Sheathed be the sword: buried be tbe weapons of slaughter! lip with the pen, the civilizing pent And let those who- grasp it, use its power in the cause of truth, justice, peace and liberty. And when our history on earth is finished, and tbe archives on high are opened, may we, wbo meet here on a day the like of whioh we shall never set again oa earths find to our joy tbat tbe pen, has pen, the mighty written notbing of which we may be ashamed before Gods, men or angels.

XNaisbut delivered a masterly speeoh, showing the spirit which characterised and animated our forefathers in the Revolution, also some of the causes which led them to revolt and throw off tbe yoke of oppression. Tke speaker further showed that the principles involved in the Declaration, were now violated to a great degree, that tbe nation's statesmen then, and rulers now, had but few principles in common, while tbo former sought the welfare of the nation, the latter seemed to think only of themselves. The world had been revolutionized during tho last century, and a wonderful change effect ed iD eommerce and agriculture: oceans now were crossed by steamers and continents by railroads, while our farming implements far superceded those of our forefathers. In a hundred years hence the population of this Territory would millions, probably amount to twenty-fivand the rulers, presidents and gover nors of the Western Continent, from Cape Horn to the Arctio Ocean, would be men who had covenanted with God to keep his commandmnts.
