Continental Buttons.

When the American Army was encamped at
Valley Forge, British officer, who was quarter
ed upon the family of gentleman in PHILADELPHIA.
had occasion to visit the camp, with message IN
der a flag of truce --
The lady of the house determined to accompany
him, for the purpose of taking suit of regimenas
to her husband, who had been out for some time
with the Continental army; and as it was necessa-
ry to conceal her design from the officer the matter
was accomplished by artifce .- etr '.'
Having taken the stufing out of the cushions Of
the gig, the regimentas were inserted in its place
and things went on smoothly, until the roughness
of the road suggested to the gentleman that his seat
was none Of the softest. ...
In vain were the two unofending coat-taiIs con-
demned to eternal punishment, and rudely jerked
from beneath their owner, who believed that they
were the culprits, and in vain were his pockets
searched, in hopes that the removal of stray key
or pen-knife would alleviate his misery. -. .
Pereeiving the trouble, and knowing the danger
of discovery the lady taxed her powers of conversa
ton to the utmost, in hopes of dverting his atten-
tion from so pressing subject; bat the gig would
bump on, and the Continental buttons obstinately
insisted on avenging their country's wrongs upon
the person Of the enemy, doubtless whispering in
their sleeves ,
:" See his posture is not right,
And he is not settled quite;
Look now at his odd grimaces- e. g-
Saw you e'ere such comic faces?"
while he, poor fellow. inwardly cursed the prini-
tiveness of Yankee cushions, and sighed for the
luxurious quarters that he had left behind him.
Weary miles were travelled, the Captain still suE
fering the penalty of his loyalty when suddenly the
truth flashed across his mind, and memory recalled
certain mysterious conversations he had overland
in the house, about broadcloth and embroidery
The secret was then discovered, but his troubles
were not yet over, for he now found himself on the
horns of dilemma as uncomfortable as the conti-
mental buttons, and he rode on perplexed between
his duty to his King, and his obligations to the la
dy.
Too much of gentleman to betray her, and yet
too royal an officer, willingly to carry aid and
comfort to the rebels, he hesitated long as the
course he should pursue but his galantry at length
got the better of him, and bravely submitting TO
the stern infection, he concluded not to verify his
suspicious by ocular demonstrations. ...-
A significant smile and gesture alone informed
his companion that the artifce was discovered and
the rebel garments were suffered to reach their des
tination unmolested. .L
Posterity may settle the question as to whether
the energy or ingenuity of the young wife deserves
the most praise and whether the duty Of the officer
should have superseded that of the gentleman; but
one thing is certain, the rebel gentleman received
a uniform which he sadly needed; and the memory
Of the lady is more fondly cherished by her descen
dsnts, whenever they think of the "Continental
Buttons"

bows at distance of onlytwic the ships length
while to her watch our vessel was probably in
visible. We heard her paddles, and the roar OF
the sea as it parted before her ponderous bulk; we
| heard the tolGng of her bell as from phantom
ship; her direction aud progress could only be
guessed by sound, but we felt that invisible power
| that might in an instant crush and overwhem US
drawing nearer and nearer-while the tolHng of
our bell, scarcely audible above the noise of her
own motion, could hardly convey to her a warn
ing OF our presence. At length she passed 10 the

"HOw easily might both ships, each to the other
unknown, have sunk into the depths Of the sea by
unavoidable collision. But here we are, by Gods
mercy, to record our near escape from that which
has befallen six hundred Of our fellows. These
possibilities are fearful to contemplate while sit
ting quietly in our own study; but how fearful
while lying wakefu in ones birth at sea, or crop
ing the deck in a dripping fog, And yet with all
the possibilities of calamity by collisions by Storm
by iceberg, or by fire, that are nseparabie from
the navigation of the ocean by steam, that nayi-
CATION is safer than railroad travel in the United
States. ..... s'. 81.
"But we had come to count too much on its
safety; to regard our steamers as masters of the
sea and talk of their achievements with conf
denee almost preSumptuous. How terrible the
lesson of our dependence upon Divine protection
taught US by this calamity. And yet, how need
ful and how salutary! Only such great calamities
can startle the eager multtudes OF this metropolis
of commerce into the recognition of a power on
the land and on the sea, that is above all the cal
cuiations gain, and all the guarantees Of insur-
ance. Only such great caIamities can make the
city thoughtful, sad and solemn, as in the presence
OF God, or can cause the current of human sym-
pathies to overflow the dykes that Maumon and
ConventiOnalty have haaped up ali around US
There is not heart in this great community that
does not beat with sympathy for all whom this
calamity has bereaved Of kindred and friends
There is not Christian altar from which PRAYER
does not go up for these unknown mourners.-
There is not countenance that is not saddened
by this sudden aPparation of Death in so many
houses. There is not mind but is for moment
awe-struck with 2 sense of the invisible and the
Almighty. The confluence of sorrows from Lake
Erie and the Atlantic has made the heart of this
metropolis reel under the thought of Providence
so vast and so terrible in the reach of its vista
tons. Oh! may that heart be aroused to the re-
cogntion of a Grace as omnipresent and omnipo-
tent for our salvatioa!''

Influence Of Religion.

1t is related of Mungo Park that when he was
