being small they stood their ground for half an
hour, telling during that time some OF those
who had the temerity to enter first, but finally
numbers overcome them, and they were flung
upon the floor and bound. The tories in
famed to madness at the great resistance which
had been made, and at their own losses, now
seized the mother and sister, and made prepa-
rations 10 hang the two brothers before their
eyes. The ropes were already tied around the
necks Of the victims, when the major addressed
his men,
CHOW, friends, as soon as these villains are
dead we will set fire to this house-the old wo-
man there" he said with brutal laugh, "may
be left inside-but the young one reserve for
myself"
"Hist,n cried one Of the men in loud voice.
The ajor ceased, and they heard 4 voice out
side the house. Although the words were spo-
ken low the listeners distinctly heard, ''when
say fire give It TO them!" A man with a
banchcd cheek now rushed among them eX-
claiming, ";he yard is full of mcn!"
"Fire," cried deep voice from the yard-a
general vol!ey succeeded, and so well had the
aim been directed in the L2or, that several OF
the tories fell either dead or desperately woun-
ded. In turn the tories retreated up the stairs,
when David, our hero, rushed into the room
which they had Just left, and cut the ropes
which bound the Buake.s and their mother and
sister.
"May God Almighty bless YOU for this!''
cried one OF the Bunkers. The two men sprang
up, seized their rifles, which had been left in
the room, and prepared to reLaliate the treat
ment which they had just received.
Long and desperate was the battle The
tories fought for life; the wings for revenge
But, at length, the latter trumphed, though
not until their enemies had been wholly exter-
minated. The ma or fell by the arm Of our
hero, who sought him out in the hottest of the
fight, and engaged him single handed
No language of ours can express the emotions
of David as e pressed his betrothed bride to his
bosom; and his heart went up in thankiulness
to heaven for his timely arrival, when he
thought that delay of half an hour longer
would have consigned her to fate worse than
death. The gratitude of her brothers was ex-
pressed IN many words, but hers was silent and
fearful, yet oh! how much more gratifying.
81 alm<st called you a coward, son David, "
said his father to him, when they met, "but
you are chip of the old block and did you
wrong. Deborah he is boy to be proud Of
is he not? Yos may founder one of my horses
every day that you do such a deed-it beats
any thing | saw in the old French war"
DavIds gallantry in this act drew around
him, in a few weeks, more than score of hardy
young followers, who fought with him to the
close of the war, when he returned and was
happily married to the heroine Of our story.

SAD SroRy,-PerfGy Of a Husband, A
poor female detailed the following sad story TO
the editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer, few
days ago
About seven years ago she married a widOwer
with one child, little girl. They lived toge-
ther MS man and wife, in Il court or avenue in
the n. W. part of the city, the husband being
printer and working at his trade, whenever
as he said, he could obtain employment In
the course of time they had two children, and
the family was thus increased to five souls
Finding it difficult to get along the wife took
i'll washing and sewing, and assisted by every
means in her power, to provide the household
with the necessaries of life. At times the hus-
band would contribute but two dollars a week
About Christmas last, he came home with a
story, to the effect that he had a cousin, who
was in very bad health, and who desired him
to remain at his boarding house with him, in
order to assist him during his illness. The
tale was told i'll so plausible manner, that the
poor wife, although she had some mlsgivings,
was induced to believe it. He absented him
self accordingly, for the purpose of attending
to his cousin. But he nevertheless came home
every day about - O'Clock, remained a short
time, made some statement as TO the condition
OF his cousins health, and gave his wife tri-
fie per week, to assist in maintaining the fami-
ly. This continued until within short time,
when one of the children was taken i'll and
died. The mother then, being without the
means Of bu1ying her offspring, sent neigh
Dor to the employer Of her husband, in the
hope that he might be indebted something, and
that he would freely advance it under the Cir
cumstances. 1t was then discovered that the
printer had another iODe, a tuOman not more than
20 years Of age, he being about 3s; that he
married her at Christmas last, and that he had
been living with her ever since. The real wife
was appalled, and incredu lous at the announce
ment; but as soon as she buried her child, she
fastened to the place Of abode of her proAigate
husband, and there found that the story was
true. Alarmed at the discovery of his con-
duct, he had the day before hurried home, sold
his household goods, and made his escape. 1t
is supposed that he has gone to New York, and
as his conduct involves degree of perfidy and
guilt truly shocking, it is hoped that he will be
discovered and brought to justice.

A QUERY. When an individual who has
filled lucrative Office for sir successive years,
under the State administration, during all of
which time he pockets his salary and boasts of
his patriotism and toue for the ''deai people, -
never once breathing a word in favor of reduc-
ing his pay. say, when such an individual,
by change of party rulers, gets ''turned out, y
and better man, perhaps, put in his place, is
it modest and becoming in the aforesaid indi,
vidual, to fly into passion, and talk and write
of the injustice o! office holders drawing large
salaries from the treasury, when our good old
State is so sadly in need of money to pay her
just debts? If such an indvidual-one whom

to reply for HIM KENT.

THE LITTLE GIRL AND THE RAIN.
BY MRS. L. II. sIGouRSEY.


"Mother, it rains" said little girl, who was
looking out at the window. ~ am so sorry not
to 90 and make that visit to Emma. She in
vited me twice before, but it rained; ard now
it is raining hard again"
81 hope you will not be unhappy, my dear"
said her mother. Il think | see tears upon
your cheeks. will not say it is little thing;
for the troubles of children seem great to them;
but trust you will be patient, and wait pleas
antly for good weather."
"Mother, you have told me that God knows
every thing, and that he is always good. Then
he certainly must know that there is but one
Saturday afternoon in the week, and that is all
the time have to play with my little friends.
He must know that it has raned now these
three holidays, when wished SO much to 60
abroad. And can he not make sunshine when
ever he peasesln
''We cannot understand all the ways Of God,
my child; but the Bible tells us he is wise and
good. Look out into your little garden, and
see how happy the rose buds are to catch the
soft rain in their bosoms, and how the violets
/ # up their sweet faces to meet it, and as the
drops fall into the quiet stream, how it dimples
with gludness and gratitude. The cattle will
drink at the stream, and be refreshed Should
it be dried up, they would be troubled, and
were the green grass to grow brown and die,
they would be troubled still more, and some Of
them might perish for want of food"
Then the good mother told her daughter OF
the sandy deserts in the East, and Of the camel,
who patiently bears thirst for many days; and
how the faintng traveller watched for the rain
cloud and blessed God when he found the water;
and she showed her the picture of the camel
and Of the caravan, and told her how they were
sometimes buried under the sands of the desert
And she told her story of the mother who
wandered in the wilderness with her son, and
when the water was spent in the bottle she laid
him under the shades to die, and went and
prayed in her anguish to God; then, how an
angel brought the water from heaven, and her
son lived. She told her of another story from
the Bible, how there fell no rain in Israel for
more than three years, and the grass dried up,
and the brooks wasted away, and the cattle
died; and how the good prophet prayed earn
estly TO God and the skies sent their blessed
rain, and the earth gave forth her fruit. Many
other things this good mother said to her child
to teach and entertain her. Then they sang
together sweet hymn or two, and the little
girl was surprised to find the afternoon SO swift
Iy SPENT for the time passed pleasantly.
So she thanked her kind mother for the sto-
ries she had told, and the pictures she had
shown her And she smiled, and said "Whai
God pleases is best"
Her mother kissed her and said, "Carry this
sweet spirit with you, my daughter, as long at
you live, and you will have gathered more wis
dom fioln the storm than from the sunshine

CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL. We learn
from the National Intelligencer that the ''guar-
antics" for the completion of the canal have
been approved by the Governor and states
agents, as required by the late law The same
paper says;
"The Stockholders, at their recent meeting,
left 1t entirely discretionary with the Board of
Directors either to borrow the money on bonds,
which they are now authorised to issue, with
preferred liens on the revenues of the Conpa-
ny, or to let the work under contract, payable
in those bonds; and, as several parties are I'M
derstood to be ready to complete the work for
bonds, who declare themselves ready to show
their ability to do so, the board will, it is
thought, at once enter into a contract of this
character, if reasonable and well fortified pro-
posals shall be made to them, pursuant to their
views announced in their report of the e9th
April last, especially if they find that any con-
siderable delay will be necessary to negotiate a
loan of money on the bonds. The next meet
ing Of the President and Directors Of the Com
pany will be held on the eth of August, at the
Office in Frederick
