A PATRIOTIC MARYLAND LADY.—In making the
surveys for the intrenchments to be made on the northern
and eastern sides of the city, the engineer officers came to a
lovely spot near Bladensburg. A pretty cottage stood on
the brow of a hill, .girrounded on all sides by shrubbery,
grape wiles, orchards, shade trees, a sup,erb lawn, a beau-
tiful flower garden, &c. It was, indeed, a little paradise.
It is the residence of a lady and her daughters, whose,hus-
band is sow away fighting in the service of his country.
The line of the intrenchments at surveyed, passed directly
over this spot. The hill commands the surrounding
country for miles, and therefore is the proper spot for a
battery. But the officers saw at a glance that if a battery
was erected there it would be necessary to cut down every
tree in the orchard, to clear away all the shrubbery, and to
make the ditch for the parapet in the flower garden. In a
word, the military works would completely demolish the
place, and render it a desert. The officers made several sur-
veys, in hopes of finding some way in which to a% old the
necessity of occupying this property at all, but in vain.
There was no other hill in the neighbourhood possessed the
necessary military qualifications. Calling upon the lady,
therefore, the officers explained, in the most delicate man-
ner, the object of their visit, and the military necessity which
doomed her beautiful grounds to destruction. The lady lis-
tened in silence. Tears rose to her eyes. She arose, walked
to the open window, looked for a moment upon the lovely
which my husband has
scene, and then, turning to the officers said, " If it must be
so, take it freely. I hoped to live here in peace and quiet,
my country demands it,
ftoor leave

past;sweet

take it freely ; you have my consent." Then offering re-

freshments to the officers, she said no more on the subject.
In the war of the revolution, in 1777, a lady of South Caro-
lina brought to General Marion the arrows with which to
set fire to her own
sin of this Mar la diedy
New York limes, is deserving of no less praise.—
