vi. FOURTH OF JULY RIDE &
- By Fred Myron Colby.
ENTIONis ap-
BV Vj| propriate at
/ JIvJI this time of a
Jfi ® famous ride
I early days
of the Revo
to be familiar
TVS) to our y° un £
have all read
of Paul Revere s ride, but this was a
greater ride than that. Paul Revere’s
ride on that long ago April night
was to save the military supplies at
Concord and Lexington to the patri
otic cause; but this other ride was to
save the Declaration of Independence.
It happened on that famous Fourth
of July, 1770, the day in which the
American colonies were declared free
and independent States. If Caesar
Rodney" had not made his historic ride,
there might not have been any free
America to-day.
The* Provincial Congress was in
session at Pliiladedphia, each of
thirteen colonies having representd/
lives there. It was a great Congress,
and a momentous question was before
the distinguished body. The great
charter oTour freedom had been writ
ten by Jefferson; and Benjamin Har
rison (fatherjiq£ great-grandfather of
Presidents) had presented it to Con-
July 1. what
V?SuTd the Gdntine'fital Congress do?
In order that our country should
be free and independent, the Declar
ation must be adopted. This eoi '.J
be done if only the colony stood
united for freedom, but nor if the.
colonies were divided. And there
were some good men who did not
believe it best to take this step at
this time. Four of the seven dele
gates of Pennsylvania were opposed
to it; and, of the two Delaware dele
gates present, Thomas McKean was
in favor of independence, but George
Read was opposed to the measure.
Caesar Rodney, the other member,
was in the southern part of his State,
in the capacity of a brigadier-general,
organizing and drilling troops for the
coming struggle.
Two of the opposing Pennsylvania
delegates were persuaded to absent
themselves, and thus the “Keystone
State” would favor the Declaratipu;
hut the vote of Caesar Rodney was
necessary to carry the State of Dela
ware. A messenger was despatched
in hot haste to summon him to Phila
delphia; and then for hours the “pat
riots of ’76'” talked and manoeuvred
to delay the final vote. On Thursday,
July 4, Congress was to vote on the
momentous question.
A DELICIOUS
On the afternoon <|ftliE 3rd<4he mes
senger found Caesalr Ilddney in Sus
sex County, m-'c than eighty miles
from Phils? lpaia. General Rodney
yras forty-six years old,
was f ik and lean, worn figure, his face
acarmfuby a cancer that was finally
to cause his death. The brave patriot
did ifc>t hesitate. “Saddle the black!”
he corujianded, and in ten minutes
be had mounted his faithful steed, and
was galloping as if fo r life to the
northward.
Eighty miles away from Congress,
which w r as waiting for him to declare
the independence of the colonies! The
thought caused him to drive his spurs
deep into his horse's flanks, and sent
him flying along the long, dusty high
way that stretched toward tlie Qua
ker City. It was one of the great
rides of history. That black steed
bore the destinies of America, and his
rider knew it; and there was no halt
nor delay. The sun went down, and
the stars came out one by one'Mn
the blue vault of heaven; and that
solitary rider rushed on his way. All
through the cool summer iight Caesar
Rodney kept up his reckless pace. Lit
tle, sleepy villages saw the horseman
pass like a fleeting phantom; and the
Young America Celebrating.
fly
Inmates of solitary farm-houses, awak
ened by the clatter of his horse's hoofs,
wondered at that hurried flight.
The stars faded out of the morning
sky and the sun came up, red and
fiery, the herald of a sultry day. And
still Caesar Rodney kept on his way.
He was yet many miles from Phila
delphia. Would he be in time to make
his country great and independent?
Tlis horse was jaded, and he was trav
el-worn and covered with dust; but
the patriot did not slacken rein. He
must be there to vote for the: inde
pendence of America. And he was
ytfrere!
All that hot, sweltering July day the
; delegates of the Colonial Congress
talking and voting in Independ
ence Hall. The session had begun.
Thejiresident, John Hancock, was in
the and the clerk, John Dickin
soriK calling the colonies one by
one.^ Virginia had voted, and Massa
chusetts, and the great State of New
York' and the little State of Rhode
Island; and now New Jersey was vot
ing, and Caesar Rodney had not come.
Anxious and worried, Thomas Mc-
Kean went out to the door of Inde
pendence Hall. Would his friend and
compatriot be too late? His face
brightened as he heard the sound of
hurrying hoof-heats coming up Chest
nut street. A foaming, panting steed
dashed up into the yard. Its dusty
rider leaped to the ground. Booted
and spurred, the dust of hig long ride
thick on his long-flapped coat and Iron
gray hair, Caesar Rodney entered the
hall of Congress, leaning on bW friend
McKean’s arm.
He was just in time. The vote of
Delaware was being called. George
Read voted “Nay.” “Aye!” called the
clear voice of Thomas McKean. 11
was h. tie. All eyes turned to Caesai
Rodney. The famous rider cleared
his throat; and many a patriot heart
beat with pride as he declared in firm
tones: “The voice of my constituents
and of all sensible and honest men, 1
believe, is in favor of independence;
and my own judgment concurs with
them. Therefore, I vote for the Dec
laration.”
And so Caesar Rodney, by his fa
mous ride and by his noble vote helped
to settle the question of Independ
ence, and insured the future celebra
tions of July 4.
WZMQhIW E ve lF
’Twas June on the face of the earth,
.Tune with the rose’s breath.
When life is the visible thing, and a
distant dream is death;
There was gossip of birds in the air,
and the lowing of herds by the wood.
And a sunset gleam in the sky that
the heart of a man holds good;
Then the nun-like Twilight came, vio
let vestured and s£il,
And the nights first .star outshone
afar on the f ’unker Hill.
There rang aV v ;>ugh the camp,
with its word upv, • kindling word:
There was never a faltering foot in
the ranks of those that heard:—
Lads from t.i" Hampshire hills and
the rich Connecticut vales.
Some of the old Bay Colony, from its
shores and its inland dales;
Swiftly they fell in line, for the;
knew not fear nor its chill;
Ah, brave the show as they ranged
m-row on the eve of Bunker Hill!
Then a deep voice lifted a prayer to
the God of the brave and the true.
And the heads of the men were bare
in the gathering dusk and dew;
The heads of a thousand men were
boweu as the pleading rose, —
“Smite Thou. Lord, as of old Thou
smote Thy people’s foes!
O nerve Thy servants’ arms to work
with a mighty will!”
A hush, arid then a loud “amen!” on
the eve of Bunker Hill!
Now they are gone through the night
with never a thought of fame.
Gone to the field of a fight that shall
win them a deathless name;
Some who snail never see the set of
another sun,
But lie like the Concord slain, and the
slain of Lexington,
Martyrs to Freedom’s cause. Ah, how
at their deeds we thrill,
The men whose might made strong
the height on the eve of Bunker Hill.
—Clinton Scollard, in Youth’s Com
panion.
