VJhen the Patriots Wavered v; : : On the morning of the Fourth of July, 1776, the members of the Continental Congress, in session at Philadelphia, were deliberating on the proposed Declaration of Independence. The patriots saw that thejr were t the edge p an action by which all chance of retreat would be cut off f that they were preparing to expose . themselves. their families and their estates to harsh reprisals if their revolution failed. At this criaia of painful silence a patriot arose a man not very old In years, but showing signs of approaching age ta nig' frostedlocks. In Vehement tones he said: - . "There la a tide in the affairs of men, nick of time. We perceive It now before us. That noble instrument upon your table, which insures immortality to Its author, should be subscribed this very- morning, by every pen in the house; He who will not respond to its accents, and strain every nerve to carry into effect its provisions, is unworthy the name of a freeman. Although these gray hairs must soon descend into the sepulcher, I would infinitely rather they would descend thither by the hand of the public executioner than desert at this crisis the sacred cause $f my country." ' - The speakerceased. Confidence and deter mination returned to that assembly and forth with the Declaration of Independence wag adopted.
