Au.cdote of Gen: Putnam.

Among the worthless who fiourished dur
;no the era of the American Revolution,
nerbans there was none possessing more Of
!g;nal;ty of character than General Put
nam. who was eccentric and fearless, blunt
in his manners; the daring soldier withC ut
the polish of a gentleman. He might well
be called the Marion of the Moth, though
he disliked disguise, more so probably from
the fact of his lisping, which was very apt
to overthrow any trickery he might have in
view.
AT this time stronghold, called Horse
neck. some miles from New York, was in
the hands of the British Putnam, with a
lew sturdy patriots was lurking in the vi
clnlty, bent on driving them from the place.
Tired of lying in ambush the men became
impatient, and importuned the General with
questions as to when they were going to
have bout with the foe. One morning ht.
made speech something to the following
effect, which convinced them that something
was in the wind.
Fellows, you have been idle too long,
and so have |. I'm going to Bush's, at
Horseneck, in an hour, with an OK team and
load of corn. If | come back, | will let you
know the particulars. Ii | should not, lei
them have it, by hokey."
lie shortly afterwards mounted his on
cart, dressed as one of the commonest order
Of Yankee farmers, and was at Bush's tay
ern, which was in possession Of the Britisi.
troops. No sooner did the officers espy
him than they began to question him as to
his whereabouts, and finding him COM
plete simpleton, as they thought, they b,-
gan to quiz him, and threatened to seize the
corn and fodder.
"How much do you ask for yoIr whole
concern?" asked they.
For mercy's sake, gentlemen" replied
the mook clod-hopper, with the most plor-
able look of entreaty, "only let me oil, and
you shall have my hull team and load for
nothing. and if that won't dew, I'll give you
my word III return tomorrow, and pay
you heartily for your kindness and conde-
scenSion."
well, said they, "we'll take you at your
word; leave the team and provender witt.
Us, and we won't require any bail for YOU
appearance.
Putnam gave up the team, and saunter-
ell about for an hour or 50, gaining all the
information he wished; he then returned to
his men and told them Of the Toe, and thsir
an of attack.
The morning came, and with it sailed
out the gallant band. The British wer,
handled with rough hands, and when they
surrendered to Gen. Putnam, the clod-hoI :

Gentlemen, | have kept my word l

SIR BuIwER LYTToN.-The Liverpool
Journal, in an account of the debate on the
foreign enlistment bill, gives the following
account of this distinguished man:
Il think Sir Bulwer Lytton is the most
ridiculous looking man, with his horse nose,
and his blue saucer eyes, in Her Majesty S
dominions; aud his bow-wowy voice drives
one into Mysteries of idgetness; and his ges-
tures-oh ! his gestures conceive Cassan-
edra being dogmatic in state of delrum
SSemens. The impression for the first FIVE
minutes of his OratOry is awful; YOU see
members dusting their faces with their hand
kerchefs, screwing their persons to their
benches, and keeping their eyes Off the door
that looks SO tempting an escape from the
tremendous baronet.
''But genius asserts itself, and one forgets
the tremendous baronet in the man whose
very grotesqueness but proves his grand
originality; and forgetting the manner in the
matter-when it is good, as on Tuesday
the house cheers. Sir Edward sat down, or
that night, with parliamentary success, hav
ing achieved that, (he is celebrated for his
pertinacity,) which he has been twenty
years striving for; and as | watched hin
passing along the lobby to dinner amid un
reserved congratulations, came to the con
clusion that was the happiest moment of q
career which, though leafy with laurels, has
perhaps, been very melancholy life."

An Echo.

My heart is light, the earth is bright,
Without shade of sadness;
The clouds are past, and now, at last,
My spirit hath its gladness.
o, life is sweet, and all meet,
With love and hope are teeming;
I'll ne'er repine, though grief be Line,
So sweet is now my dreaming.
Yet not dream, but all, it seems,
A world so full of brightness;
For God above hath sent his love
To give my heart this lightneSs'
Rejoice, my heart, and bid depart

An 0de to All Mankind.

BY J. C. YOUNG NJ. D.
All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read
As It's your case alone, net mine plead
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Man doom'd has to bare, when the lemorseless
fangs
OF dire disease, is fastened in his soul,
When he would seek the dagger or the bowl,
To end his misery by the potent spell
OF deadly poison, or the polished steel. morn
Ye who have writhed and groaned from night to
Cursing the hour that ever ye were born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping 'twould quench the flames that madly
burned
In every vein, as if your blood were turned
TIL molten lava
To him who hath felt this
| need not speak, as he knows what it is
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this o 'er, and every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of their memory,
As none may tell how he Il Tomorrow be
But all should know in dark affections hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain, so prompt, they'd think my
hand
Must surely grasp a Necrcmancer's wand
Like some good Genii of the olden time,
Whose every act bespoke his power sublime,
Within this city-thrOGgho all tie State,
In every town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can lie found who know the power WELD
Having tried it-know it was to them a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yOre,
Upon Scamander's banks, in battle bore
They know it saved them from the blush of shame
Preserved their health and dearer far their name
For who'd confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from a source impure, to say tie least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this Ger,
Remember, ] ALONE can you restore.
To heathand usefulness.
That you may know
