A Revolutionary Incident.

A Revolutionary Incident.
The New Haven Courier gives the follow
ing account Of an occurrence at the seice of
Yorktown, in 1871, which has never before
been in print, and illustrates the difference
between theory and practice:
"With Hamilton, Knox, and others, there
were present behind redoubt of hogsheads
and pipes of sand, about four hundred
American troops. A general order had
been given, that when shell was seen.
they might cry GA shell''-but not to crv
GA shot, when shot was seen. The
reason for this distinction was, that a shell
might be avoided, but to cry GA shot"
would only create confusion and do no
good.
''This order was just then being dis
cussed, Colonel Hamilton remarkinp that it
seemed unsoldier-like to halloo ga she'll"
while Knox contended the contrary, and
that the order was wisely given by General
Washington, who cared for the lives of the
men. The argument thus stated was pro-
crossing with a slight warmth. Suddenly,
spat! spat! two shells fell and struck
within the redoubt. Instantly the cry
broke out on all sides, ga shell shell! ="
and such a scrambling to reach the blinds
and get behind them for defence! Knox
and Hamilton were united in action, how
ever different in words, for both got behind
the blinds; and Hamilton, to be yet more
secure, held on behind Knox, (Knox being
very large man and Hamilton small
one.) Upon this, Knox struggled to throw
Hamilton, and in the effort himself (Knox)
rolled over, and threw Hamilton towards
the shells. Hamilton, however, scrambled
back again behind the blinds.
CAN this was done rapidly, for in two
minutes the shells burst, and threw their
deadly missiles in all directions. 1t was
then safe and soldier-ike to stand out
Now says Knox, now what do you think,
Mr.. Hamilton, about crying, A shell !-bu
let me tell you not to make breastworko o
me again."

A THRILLING ADVENTURE.

From the New Orleans Picayune.1
A THRILLING ADVENTURE.
1t was but few nights since-a dar k
night too, that the incident am about to
relate tookplace. 1had been taking goods
quantity of exercise all the day previous,
and felt much fatigued. The ferry-boat
of the second district rang her bell at the
Algiers landing, and I fastened my steps
to reach her ere she started for the city
Much to my disappointment, however, just
as reached the long and coalstained walk
that leads to the little wharf, snugly en-
sconsed beneath the bank, the ferry swung
out into the stream, and sputting and chok-
ing and making prodigious noise, moved
towards the city.
1nwardly exclaiming at my unusual bad
luck walked leisurely to the little wharf be-
fore mentioned, and sat down on the rough.
hard bench, placed in front of the apology
for two small rooms-one for ladies'" and
the other "for geatlemen (which have
existed there since the memory of man or
woman runneth not to the contrary. A
dirty lamp at one corner gave a dim light,
which feebly shadowed out the forms of OBJ
jects few feet distant, and left others far
ther off in dull, misty gloom. A steam
boat or 80 was moored above and below the
the landing. They were apparently de-
serted-their dark shapes, looming up a.
gainst the sombre sky, alone indicating
their presence. I was seated twelve or
fifteen feet from the bank, and some six be-
low its upper surface; the river was before
and boat house behind me-so that was
completely hidden from the view of the
dwellers in the residences forty or fifty
yards in the rear of the landing.
The solitude and the silence pleased me
and as had often done before, sat there
motionless and musing, listening to the swift
rushing and gurgling of the deep, turbid
waters of the Mississippi, gazing now at the
wide gloomy expanse of the heavens, where
twinkled few stars, and now at the long,
black, fantastically outlined wall that rose
from the waters edge on the opposite side
OF the river, and which in it's crescent-shaped
sweep was guarded by the ranks of strange
being, (as imagined) of whom only their
bright, golden, glowing helmets were visi-

dark night, with the rows of brilliant gas

Its deeper, more massive gloom.

DAILY EVENING STAR.
WAIT FOR THEE.

The hearth is swept-the fire is bright.
The kettle sings for thee;
The cloth is spread-the lamps are light.
The hot cakes smoke in napkins white,
And now wait for thee.
Come home, love, home, thy task is done;
The clock ticks listeningly,
The blinds are shut, the curtain down,
The warm chair to the fireside drawn,
The boy is on my knee.
Come home, love, home, his deep fond eye,
Looks round him wistfully;
Aud when the whispering winds go by,
As if thy welcome step were nigh,
He crows exultingly.
In vain-he finds the welcome vain:
And turns his glance on mine,
So earnestly, that yet again
His form unto my heart strain.
That glance is so like thine.
Thy task is done, we miss thee here;
Where'er thy footsteps roam,
No heart will spread such kindly cheer,
No beating heart, no listening ear,
Like these will wait thee home.
Aha, along the crisp walks fast,
That wellknown step doth come,
The bolt is drawn-the gate is past,
The babe is wild with joy at last,
A thousand welcomes homo.
