a story OF the Rerolution.

The following story, related by a mother
to her children, few years since, will show
the spirit that existed among the people of
New England at the trying period to which
it relates =
Late in the afternoon of one of the last
days in May, 1776, when | was a few
mouths short Of fifteen years old, notice
came to Townsend, Massachusetts, where
my father used to live, that fifteen soldiers
were wanted.
The train band was instantly called out,
and my brother, next older than myself.
was one that was selected. He did not re-
turn till late at night, when all were in bed.
When | arose in the morning | found my
mother in tears, who informed me that my
brother John was to march the day after
tomorrow. at sunrise. My father was at
Boston, in the Massachusetts, Assembly,
Mother said that though John was supplied
with summer clothes, he must be away sew
en- or eight months, and would suffer for
want OF winter garments. There was, at
this time, no store, and no articles to be had.
except such as each family would make its
elf. The sight of a mothers tears ALWAYS
brought all the hidden strength OF the mind
to action. | Immediately asked her what
garments were needful. She replied, "Pan-
falcons"
"Oh, if that is all" said "we will spin
and weave him a pair before he goes"
''fut," said my mother, 1.-THE wool is on
the sleeps back, and the sheep are in the
pasture"
7 immadia +a1,, 4nrnad 70 q ,-o,,,,oo, l+I
er, and bade him take salt-dish and call
them to the yard.
Mother replied, "Poor child, there are
no sheep-shears within three miles and a.
half"
Il have some small shears at the loom"
said |.
But we can't spin and weave in so short
time"
II am certain we can, mother"
"How can you weave it? There is long
web OF linen in the loom."
mo matter, | can find an empty loom"
BY this time the sound of the sheep made
me quicken my steps towards the yard. l
requested my sister to bring me wheel and
cards, while [ went for the wool. | went
to the yard with my brother, and secured a
white sheep, from which | sheared, with my
loom shears, half enough for the web; we
then let her go with the rest to the flock
sent the wool in with my sister. Luther
ran off for black sheep, and held her, while
cut off wool for my filling and half the
warp, and then we allowed her to go, with
the remaining part Of her fleece.
The wool thus obtained was duly carded
and spun, washed, sized and dried a loom
was found few doors off, the web got in,
woven and prepared, cut and made, two or
three hours before my brothers departure,
that.is to say, in forty hours from the com
mencement, without help from any modern
Improvement.
The good old lady closed by saving. II
felt no WEAKNESS, wept mott was serving
my country; was assisting poor mother
was preparing garment for nv darlino
brother. The garment being finished re
tired and wept, till my overcharged and
bursting heart was relieved"
This brother was, perhaps, one of Gen
Stark best soldiers, and, with such spirit
to cope with, need we wonder that Bur-
goyne did not execute his threat of march
ing through the heart of America.
