clergyman, who has the care of a
country parish, not very far from
Charleston, one Sunday, during a
season ofprotracted draught, prayed
very earnestly for rain. At the close
of the services, one of his pensioners
approached him and exclaimed
"Why, Mr.. A., how came you to
pray for rain? Do you not know that
most of us are in the midst of our
harvest, and that rain would be iniu-
rlous to usjust now, dry as it certain

AUGUST.
ny WILLIAM D. GALLAGHER.

Dust on thy mantle! dust,
Bright Summer, ON thy livery green;
tarnsh, rs OF rust,
Dims thy late brilliant sheen;
And thy young glories--leaf, and bud, and
Change cometh over them with every hour.
Thee hath the August sun
Looked on with hot, and fierce, and brassy face;
And still and lazily run,
Scarce whispering in their pace,
The half dried rivulcts, that lately sent
STOUT of gladncss up, as on they went.
Flam like, the long mid day,
With not SO much Of sweet air as hath stirred
The down npon the spray
Where rests the painting bird,
Doing away the hot and tedious noon
With fitful twittcr, sadly out of tune.
Seeds in the sultry air,
And gossamer web work on the sleeping trees
Fen the tall pines that rear
Their plumes to catch the breeze,
The slightest breeze from the Understanding wes'
Par,ake the general languor and deep rest.
Happy, as man may be,
Stretched on his back. in homely bean vine bow
While the voluptuous bee
Robs each surrounding flower,
And prattling childhood Chambers DER hi
breast,
The husbandman enjoys his noon day rest.
Against the hazy sky
The thin and fieecy clouds unmoving rest;
Beneath them far, yet high
In the dim, distant west,
The vulture, seeming thence its carrion fare,
Sails, slowly crcling in the sunny air.
Sobcrly, in the shade,
Repose the patien: cow and toll worn OK,
Or in the shoal stream wade,
Sheltered by jutting rocks;
The fleecy flock, fly -scourged and restless, rush
Mady from fence to fence, from bush to bush.
Tediously pass the hours,
And vegetation Wits, with blistered root,
And droop the -hirsting flowers,
Where the slant sunbeams shoot
But of each tall old tree the lcngthenng line,
Slow creeping eastward, marks the days dc.
cline
Faster along the plain,
Moves now the shade, and on the meadow s
edge,
The kline are forth again,
The bird fits in the hedge,
Now in the molten west sinks the hot sun:
Welcome! mild eve!-the sultry day is done.
Pleasantly contest thou,
Dew of the evening, to the crisp'd up grass;
And the curld corn blades bow,
As the light breezes pass,
That their parchd lips may feel thee and ex-
pand,
Thou sweet reviyer Of the fever'd land

From Lossing's Field book of the Revolution
The True Story of Jane N1cCrea.

The first place of historic interest
that we visited at Fort Edward, was
the venerable and blasted pine tree
near which, tradition asserts, the
unfortunate Jane McCrea lost her
life while General Burgoyne had his
encampment near Sandy Hill. 1t
stands upon the west side of the road
leading from Fort Edward to Sandy
Hill, and about half mile from the
canal-lock i'm the former village
The tree has exhibited unaccounta-
bic signs of decadence for several
years, and when we visited it, it was
shapeless and bare. Its top was torn
off by a November gale, and almost
every breeze diminishes its size by
scattering its dccayed twigs. The
trunk is about five feet in diameter,
and upon the bark is engraved, in
bold letters, Jane McCrea, MI
The names of many ambitious visi-
tors are intaglioed upon it,and ii re-
minded me of the line-"Run, run,
Orlando, carve on every tree" In a
few years this tree, around which his
tory and romance have clustered so
many associations, will crumble and
pass away forever.
The sad story of the unfortunate
girl is so interviewer in our history
that it has becomes component part
but tits told with SO many variations
in essential and non essential partic-
ulars, that much of the narrative we
have is evidently pure fiction; sim
pie tale of Indian abduction, resulting
in death, having its counterpart in
many like occurrences has been gar
nished with all the coloring of ro-
mantle love story. 1t seems a pity
to spoil the romance of the matter,b but
truth always makes sad havoc with
the frostwork of the Imagination, and
sternly demands the homage of the
historians pen.
All accounts agree that Miss Nc
Crea was staying at the house Of a
Mrs. Mcneil, near the fort, at the
time of the tragedy. A grand daugh-
ter Of Mrs. Mcneil (Mrs. F-n)
is now living at Fort Edward, and
from her received a minute account
Of the whole transaction, as she had
heard it "thousand times" from her
grandmother. She is woman of
remarkable intelligence, about sixty
years old. When | was at Fort Ed
ward she was on a visit with her sis
ter at Glenn's Fails. 1t had been my
intention to go direct to Whitehall,
on lake Champlain, by way of Fort
Ann, but the Evolutionary accounts
in the neighborhood oil the event in
question were so contradictory OF the
books, and Ireccived such assurances
that perfect reliance might be placed
upon the statements of Mrs. En-,
that, anxious to ascertain the truth Of
the matter, if possible, we went to-
lake Chalnpiain by way of Glenn's
Falls and lake George. After con-
siderable search found Mrs. FIJI,
and the following is her relation of
the tragedy at Fort Edward.
Jane McCrea was the daughter of
a Scotch Presbyterian clergyman of
Jersey City, opposite New Y ork; and
while Mrs. Mcneil, then a wife of
the former husband named Camp
belly was resident of New York
city, an acquaintance and intimacy
had grown up between Jenny and her
