1t takes the Yankees to do up a thing or

Yankee tree will produce little more hard
cider than one from any other. A Yankee
COW can shake off iiuu with her horns from
a ounce tree better than COW not of YAM
kee origin, and can eat it up "when shaken"
One Yankee makes $1,000 a year by the
manufacture of shaving boxes, to assist in
the operation of scraping the countenances
of Southern gentlemen. Another, grows a
watermelon as big as a bushcl. So on, from
a shaving box to "A ships from wooden nut

CROSSING THE DELAW ARE.

In no instance, perhaps, was Washing

Trenton. Der and DER have listened with
intense anxiety, in the day of my boyhood,
whilst my now departed sire who fought and
blcd on that proud field, recItcd with thrilling
interest, all that related to the enterprise.

our little heart-broken army halted on the

AFTER THE BATTLE

On surface of two square miles it was as
certained that fifty thousand men and horses
were lying! The luxurious crop Of ripe
grain which had covered the field OF battle,
was reduced to litter, and beaten into the
earth; and the suriac? troddcn down py the
cavalry, turrowed deeply by the cannon
wheels, strewn with many a relct of the fight.
Helmets and curasses, shattered fire arms
and broken swords all the variety of military
ornaments lancer caps and Highland bon
nets; uniforms of every color, plume and
pcnnon; musical instruments, the apparatus
of artillery, drums, bugles; but, good God!
why dwell on the narrowing picture of a
foughtcn field each and every ruinous dis
play bore mute testimony to the misery Of
such battle. Could the melancholy appear
ancc of the scene of death be heightened, it
would be by witnessing the researches of the
living amidst its desolaton, for the objects of
their love. Mothers and wives and children,
for days were occupied in that mourniul du-
ty; and the confusion of the corpses, friend
and foe inlcrmingled as they were, often rem
dercd the attempt at recognizing individuals
difficult, and in some cases, impossible. In
many places the dead lay four deep upon
each other, marking the spot some British
square had occupied, when exposed for hours
to the murderous fire of a French battery.
Outside, lancer and curiasser were scattered
tmckly ON the earth. Madly attempting to
force the scrrcd bayonets of the British, they
had fallen, in the bootless essay, by the mus
kerry of the inner files. Farther on, you
traced the spot where the cavalry of France
and England had encountered. Chasseur
and hussar were intcrmingod; and the
heavy Norman horse of the Imperial Guard
were intcrspcrsed with the grey chargers
which had carried Albyna's chiyalry. Here
the Highlander and lirailleur lay, side by side
together; and the heavy dragoon, with green
Erin's badge upon his helmet, was graphing
in death with the Polish lancer. On the
summit of the ridge, where the ground was
numbered with dead, and troddcn iellock
deep in mud aDd gore, by the frequent rush
ofrival cavalry, the thick slrown corpscs of
the Imperial Gard, pointed out the spot
where Napoleon had been defeated. Here,
in column, that favored corps, ON whom his
last chance rested, had been annihilated;
and the advance and repulse of the Guard
was traoeable by mass ofiallen frenchmen.

conduct. The young man rode OIL in mgh
spirits with his ill-gotten money. In the eve
ming passing the door of his younger uncle, Mr..
Fletcher, he called on him. and began with in
forming him what General De Cons had done
and as proof showed draft under De Cons
own hand. Mr.. Fletcher took the draft from his
nephew, and looked at him with SURPRISE
Then after some remarks, putting it into his
pocket he said at strikes me, young man, that
you have possessed yourself Of this note by
some wrong method and in conscience, cam
not return it but with my brothers knowledge
and Appreciation" The nephew's pistol was in
moment at his breast any life" replied Mr.
Fletcher, with perfect calmness, ",s secure in
protection of an almighty power; nor will he
suffer it to be the forfeit ofmy integrity and your
rashness." This frmness drew from the
nephew the observation, shat his uncle De
Cons, though an old soldier, was more afraid Of
death than his brother" "Afrad of death !" re-
piled Mr.. Fletcher, do you think have been
twenty-five years minister to the Lord of life,
and am afraid Of death now mo, sir it is for
you to be afraid of death. You are gamester
and a cheat; yet call yourself gentleman -
You are the seduccr of female innocence and
still say you are gentleman Look there, sill"
pointing to the heavens" SHE broad eye of Heaven
is fixed upon US. Trembe in the presence of
your maker, who in moment can kill your body,
and forever punish your soul in hell"
The unhappy young prodigal turned pale
with fear and rage. He still threatened his I'M
Gle with instant death. Fletcher, though thus
threatened, gave no alarm, sought for no weapon,
and attempted not to escape. He calmly con-
verscd with his prohga,c relation; and at length
pcrceiving him to be affected, addressed him in
the kndest language, till he fairly disarmed and
subdued him! He would not return his bro.
theirs draft, bat engaged to procure for the
young man some immediate relief lie thcr
prayed with him and after fulfilling his promise
of assistance, parted with him, with much goot
advice on one side, and many fair promises or
the other.-Rccorder

told the souls resolve. Washington observed
us well then did he cxhort us with all the
icrvor of his soul, con yondcr field to con-
qucr, or die tho death of the brave" AT
that instant the glorious sun, as if in propho-
tic token of our success, burst forth in all its
splcndor, bathing inliquid light the blue bills
of Jersey. The faces Which but few mi
nutcs before were blanchcd with despair,
now glowcd with martial fire and animation.
Our chief with cxutation hailed the scene |;
then casting his doubts to the winds, and
calling on the "God Of battles" and his faith
full soldiers, led on the charge. The con-
nict was fierce and bloody.-For more than
twenty minutes not gun was ilrcd--the sa-
brc and the bayonet did the work of dcstruc-
ton twas hurricane of fire, and steel and
death. There did we stand, on the field of
battle "foot to foot and hilt to hilt," will,
the scrricd foe! and where we stood,we died
or conquered"
