teeth decaying at so much earlier stage of

been attributed to the friction produced by
constant action Of the tongue. But accord

or STONY POINT.

STORMING OF STONY POINT.
The night had already settled down
gloomy and forbidding, Oh the evening Of
thc 18th of July, l779,whsn the advancing
columns Of little army, whose Uniform
betoken it TO be American, emerged from
thick wood on the shore Of the Hudson, and
in an instant the whole dim and shadowy
prospect, disclosed ts them along the bank
Of the river, opened to the sight. Far a.
way lay Yerplanck's Point, now buried in
a mass of shadow, while on the other side
Of the river, dark gloomy, and frowning,
rose up the craggy heights of Stony Point.
Washed On three sides by the Hudson, and
protected on the ether, except along q
narrow road, by morass, the fSrt was
deemed enc Of the most impregnable en-
the river; aad its capture regarded as al
most impossible. Yet 10 achieve that gal
lant purpose, ,this little army was now upon
its march.
A turn in the road soon hid them frCn
the river, and after silent march Of some
minutes duration, they arrived within =
mile and half of the snemy's lines; and
halting at the command Of their officer,
formed into columns for the attack. Be-
ginning again their march they sooa reach
ed the marshy greuad at the base Of the
hill
"Histr said the Levy voice Of the gener-
al, from the front, I'VE are nigh enough now
HALT
The order passed in whisper down the
line, and the column paused on the edge Of
the merass. 1t was moment Of suspense
and peril. Every man felt that in few
minutes the fate Of their hazardous enter
prise would be determined, and that they
would either be cold in death, sr the Amer

abattis. Each man had piscs Of white
paper on his hat to distinguish him from
the fss in the approaching melee. The
pause, however, whicA afforded this pros
pect was but nsmentary. The general had
already recoAAoilersS the approaches 10 the
still silent premen!Ory and waving his
