A HISTORICAL FACT.

It may not be generally known that
the state Of Delaware was originally
designed TO be a portion of Pennsyl-
vania. but, owing to some circumstance
which We have never heard explained,
it was created into separate state
BY referring 10 map Of Delaware, it
will be seen that the boundary between
that state and this is of a semi circular
form, as if drawn with mathematical
accuracy. It aOGs so draeca. William
Penn presented to his daughter Lett
tia circuit, Of which New Castle was
the centre, OF fifteen miles round, which
he called Letitia Minor; and it is that
which gives the singular appearance to
our mutual boundary. There are a
thousand little incidents connected with
the settlement Of Pennsylvania and
Delaware, possessing, at this time, Pc
culiar interest, which are daily coming
to light, and which, we trust, will be

THE GIANTS OF OLD.

In reference to the builders of the
Pyramids Of Egypt, and to what has
been termed Cyclorian, or Titantic
construction of these edifces, Mr..
GIiddon, in recent lecture remarked,
that it was by these municipalities of
expression, that some veil their belief
that Giants erected all the huge bull
dings of antiquity, without regard to
the fact that the very idea Giant is an in
appropriate translation in oar scriptural
version. The .Nephilin,, as the He
brew text of GeniSis 9Th chap. 4th
verse, designates that which we render
"there were Giants on the earth in those
days." as in every other instance where
our version speaks Of Giants, never
meant men Of unnatural stature, but
merely men Of extraordinary mental
vigor, associated with great wicked
ness, or with great heroic renown.-
The far famed Ghibborim, Anakim,
Emim, Rephaim, &C., of the Bible,
never meant anything beyond "men
of violent passion, ferceness or celebri-
ty," and all ourfables about such large
men, as the giants slain by ''Jack the
giant killer" proceed from our own
mistakes in translating from the Greek
and other versions, SIC different words
to mean giant, which, in the Hebrew
text, never had any such acceptation,
and which idea is preposterous when
understood as applying to men of ins-
possible stature.

From Godey's Ladies' Book.
HEROIC WOMEN OF AMERICA.
THE LADY AND THE ARROWS.

Among the American ladies who
have distinguished themselves in the
course of our revolutionary war, by the
sacrifice of self-interest to the public
welfare, none is more celebrated than
Mrs. Jacob Note, Of Carolina. The
action by which she sacrificed her own
property to the demands Of patriotism,
was SO graceful, so generous and free
that it has occasioned her praises to
be celebrated in all the histories Of the
time. The incident took place in the
year 1881, when General Green and
the active partisan officers, Lee, Mari
on, and Sumpter, were disputing with
CORVALLIS and Rawdon for the posses-
sion of the Carolinas. The first battle
at Camden had already been fought
when the celebrated siege OF Fort
Motto took place.
The new mansion house of Mrs.
Motto situated on high and comman-
ding hill, some distance above the
junction of the Wateree and Congaree,
had been made the principal depot of
the conveys from Charleston, Camden,
Fort CRANKY and Ninety Six. 1t was
surrounded by a deep trench, which
was defended by strong and lofty
parapet, erected along its inner mar
gin. Captain Mcpherson commanded
the garrison, which usually consisted
of about one hundred and fifty men,
but which was now increased by the
accidental arrival of of a detachment of
dragons. This body on its way to
Camden with dispatches for Lord Raw
/ "a, had entered the fort few hours
before the appearance Of the American
forces, led by Marion and Lee, to be-
seige it. On another hill, opposite to
the north side Of the new mansion,
stood an old farm house,in which Mrs.
Motto had formerly resided, and to
which she had been dismissed by Capt
Mcpherson. Upon this height Lee
was stationed with his corps, whilst
Marion occupied position on the cas-
tern decllvity OF the ridge on which
the fort stood. A six-pounder, de-
spatched by Green to the aid of Mari
on, was mounted on battery by that
officer for the purpose Of taking the
north side Of the enemy's parapet,
which Lee was preparing to ATTACK -
By the 10Th of May the works were in
state of such forwardness that it was
determined to summon the command
ant. On the same day Rawdon had
evacuated Camden, and proceeded to
Nelson's ferry, for the purpose of eros
sing the Santee and relieving Fort
Motto. Greene on the other hand, ad-
yanced to the Congaree to cover the
besiegers. Under these circumstances
Mcpherson, though destitute of artll-
lery, replied to the summons that he
should continue to resist to the last mo-

WOMAN VERSUS MAN.

THE MIDNIGHT BELL.
Hark It's the deep-toned midnight bell,
That bids a sad and long farewell
To the departed hour;
How like dirge its music falls,
Within these cold and dreary walls
Where stern mistortunes lower.
Ali vainly through these prison bars
Glide the pale beams Of moon and stars,
To cheer this lonely tower:
Frem evenings close to dawn of day
Hopes star sheds not a single ray
To light the solemn hour
Alas! what pangs must guilt conceal,
When innocence like mine can feel
So crush'd in such an hour!
know not whether love be crime,
But if it is, in every cline,
'Iis woman's fatal dover! G. P. NJ.

1ocK-JAw FROM BEER DRINKING.


tits perhaps not generally known
that a confirmed beer drinker is more
liableto locked jaw, than any other
person. An English paper sometimes
since, stated that "medical mea in the
metropolis are familiar with the fact,
that confirmed beer drinkers can scarce
ly scratch their fingers without risk of
their lives. A copious London beer
drinller is all one vital part. He wears
his heart upon his sleeve, bare to
death wound, even from rusty nail or
a claw ola cat. The worst patients
brought into the metropolitan hospitals
are those apparently fine models of
health and strength, the beer drink
ers,
