TATTLETOWN.

Come Age and Youth,
A tale Of fancy, yet a tale Of truth,
pray attend while reluctant tell,
What woful times in Tattletown befel
Fair Tattletown!
Alas, that stars so bright so soon go down !
Time was, its borders knew no sin or harm,
But that was only-when it was farm.
Yet all was safe,
While nought was said or done to vex or chafe
And people were content to buy and sell,
And mind their business quietly and we'll.
And still it grew;
A church was built and cke tavern too;
And oft, in sooth, as elsewhere in the land,
Their pinch ann piety went hand in hand.
Rolled on n year;
With health, and harmony and social cheer ;
And then, alas, mysterious and sad,
All Tattlctown seemed suddenly stark mad.
Is you have seen,
Some mastiff and grimalkin on a green,
With growl and scowl each other fcrccly spy
So these grim neighbors each would each
defy.
0 grievous fate,
Such steady people in so queer state,
Nohcad could nod, mo eye could kindly glance
Good friendly chat was scarce as Dutch in
France.
All ties were rcnt
The fondest love grew cold and discomfort
The tavern ravcd like bedlam in despair,
Cold hatred triumphed in til house of prayer
Physicians vain;
The epidemic's source could none explain,
Nor how itsI rad with still augmenting rage
Till all seemed bears just broken out of cago
How passing strange!
What could have wrought such melanchol,
change;
What witch, or wizard, fiend or spirit foul,
Had made each friendly chum u churlish owl
Revealed at last!
The days of doubt and mystery went past.
The baneful air which Der the toyy n had hun,
Was-slandcrous venom from each tattler'
tongue!

AN INCIDENT OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Many an incident connected with the
merican Revolution falls blank upon

record, many an heroic act slumbers IN.
remembered in the dim regions of the
past. We do not carry our ideas of Di.
vine Interference in mundane affairs so far
as to suppose that the finger of omnipo.
tence points the path for individuals to
travel, unless, perhaps, where they are
connected with great events but we do
profess to believe that high and superna
tural power condescends to direct and In.
fnence the affairs Of nations. We may
trace it from the earliest records of Bib
lical History, down our own time; and
the hand Of the deity is as visibly display
ed in the destiny of modern nations
as in those of antiquity-and more part.c-
ularly in tina. period Of our own history,
when the godlike Washington, sustained
and protected by that invincible Power,
led our feeble but conquering people thro'
the dark valley of opposition to the sun.
ny plains and heights of Liberty. For
any one to be convinced Of this, it will be
only necessary for him to trace this his.
tory OF our country from the opening Of
the war to the establishment Of peace and
the recognition of our independence.
During the occupation of Philadelphia
sby the british, under General Howe, the
head quarters were established at the house
General Cadwalader, in Second street, a

General had taken an apartment in a
house opposite, occupied by a Quaker
family, by the name of Hanah. This

The family consisted Of William and
