COUNT PULASKI.
Az wcIpENT At ms QUARTERS.


On the night Of the battle of Brandywihc
I was sent with message from Cen. Green
to the Count Pulaski, a noble Polandcr, who
teak prnmincnt- part in our freedom, He
was quartcrcd IN neat fdrmhouST htFF=ftfsI
uppcr fords Aitcr our business was finished
the Count asked me TO take some refresh.
pcnts, and at the same time lac called out
Mary, my lpss--Alaryr
In an instant n rosy-chcekcd girl entered,
her face beaming with joy, It would seoln at
the very sound of Pulaski's voice
Did you call me, Count she said yory tim
fdiy.
How oilcn have told you, little love, he
said, bending his tall form 10 kiss her check,
not 20 call me Count: call me your dear Pu-
laski. This is n republic my little fayorite.
We haye'n no Counts sou know
But you are Count sir, when at home,
and they say YOU come a long way over the
ocean to fight for us.
Yes, yes, Mary, very true, did come a
long way, but one reason why, had come in
measure. Now, can YOU get for this gen
tleman and myself a litdc,refreshments He
has a long way 10 ride tonight.
Certainly,sir and she went out Of the room
like fairy
A fine pleasant girl, said Pulaski. Would
that had the wealth that once had I would
give her portion that would send half the
youths hereabouts aiter her sweet face.
The girl soon returned with part of n fine,
boiled ham, some delicious fresh rye bread
and butter, pickles, and few little ct ceteras
that reIishcd exceedingly.
On the morning of the iith of September
1777, the British army advanced in full force
10 Chadd's ford, for the purpose of crossing
Brandywine creek and bringing on an ac-
ton with Washington. Sir William Howe

The llessian general Knyphauscn with n

and uniting with Lord Cornwalis who com
'Snanded the lcft wing Of the army, crossed at
ithe upper forks Of tho river and creek
4 so happened that during the raging of
the conflict, in carrying orders passed i'm
mediately in the direction Of Pulaskis quar-
ters that bad visited the night before. Sit
uated as The house was, IN the midst ec the
battle, Curiosity induced me to ride IN. Sud
denly sheet of fame burst forth The house
was on fire.. Near the door step lay the body
Of Mary, her head cut open by sabre. and
her brains oozing out fromthe terrible wound
l had not been there more than halfa minute
when Pulaski at the head of troop of cayal-
ry, galloped rapidly to the house Never shall
] forget the expression Of his face ,as he shout
ed like dcmon,on seeing the inauimatc form
-'W no done this ?"
A little boy that had not before noticed

Most, perhaps all the gems used in the
brcasi-pato of Aaron the high priest, were
quartz OF different textures, colors and hues.
The precious stones presented by the Queen
Of Shcba TO the King Of Israel were. probably
quartz. The stones mentioned in the book
of Revelations, rs forming the streets of the
New Revelations, with all the gems referred
to weEe but varieties Of the stones used for
by the plow and the hoe Of the farmer, and
of the dirt carted for filing our docks.

beautiful hues 20 gems, and an endless varc-
~ of colorS TO quartz, is the oxide of IRON
Tho oxide of siicum and the oxide Of iron
arc hence united in this samo most abundant
mineral in the world.
Next to quartz, ,fcldspnr, or clay formed by
the decomposition OF fcldspar, is the most a.
bundant element Of soils. This, too, is com
posed of several oxides or chemical combina-
tions. Fcldspar IS also very extensively u
nited with quartz in the formation of rocks,
not by chemical combination, but mechanical
mixture. The fcldspar and the quartz can be
separated by the hammer. Not so with the
oxygen and silicum, forming slick. Chemi-
cal agency alono can separate chemical combi-
nations Such combinations in rocks, soils
and other mineral bodies, are-exreedingty
numerous, complicated and delicate.
The most common stone that meets the eve
in any part of the world is composed Of two
oxides. The oxygen and the metals are each
united by chemical affinity, and then the two
oxides are again combined by the same agen-
